Here it is! THE BIG WEDDING SURPRISE! Enjoy, I surely did, while I was writing this chapter. This, in my opinion, is my best chapter. I know I've said this a hundred times, but this time it is sooo true!

CHAPTER 14: A BIG WEDDING SURPRISE

BEN'S POV

The reception was a blast. People were dancing and having the time of their lives. Better than Grace and Jack's wedding. When it was time for the wedded couple's first dance, I felt the slightest bit of jealousy, remembering that it could've been me, but I blew it. Everything happens for a reason. It wasn't meant to be. I would've loved to be in a tux dancing with the girl of my dreams in the middle of the dance floor, everyone staring in envy, just like I am right now.

Then I realized I didn't say 'Amy', I said 'girl of my dreams'. Maybe the reason it wasn't meant to be is because I never really loved Amy, I loved the idea of being in love. Maybe I didn't want to marry Amy, I just wanted to get married, period. It all makes sense now. But who is my dream girl? At that moment, I shot a random look at a part of the room and there was Adrian. Pure coincidence or fate? I don't know, but it's worth a shot. I watched everybody pile onto the dance floor as they changed to the song to a fast one. I sprinted through a crowd of people to get next to Adrian. I must've looked like a real freak because I maneuvered through a hundred people and just stood next to her and didn't talk for twenty minutes.

"So, you ran through a crowd of drunk wedding-goers just to stand next to me in silence for twenty two minutes?" Adrian asked me sarcastically.

"Twenty-three."

"What?" She looked surprised.

"My watch says twenty three minutes."

"Okay then." She laughed. She had the cutest laugh in the world. She looked so much better covered and with less makeup. It was hard to believe I used to think of her as just a little temporary fling that would end once Amy was completely sure of me. About five more minutes of dead silence between us passed before I finally built up the courage to speak.

"Um, ya wanna dance?" I asked. I sounded like a smitten, love-sick puppy when I said it, but she didn't care.

"Yup." She said surely, not much enthusiasm, but I think Amy thinks that Adrian likes me. She might be nervous, I know I am.

I led her out onto the dance floor and held her hand. Just as we got onto the dance floor with everybody, the song changed into a slow song. I held her shoulder and people left the dance floor, leaving only me and Adrian, Amy and Ricky, Grace and Jack, Ashley and Mark, Anne and George, and Madison and Jason. I saw Amy tap Ricky's shoulder and point at us, I waved a thumbs up to them and they cracked up. Now that I've got someone else and the wave of jealousy is gone, they're actually look great together.

"This is nice." Adrian said.

"Look, I'm really sorry I used you. I just realized when I saw Amy and Ricky at their first dance that I never really loved Amy. I loved the idea of loving someone. I don't want to marry Amy. I just love the feeling of marrying someone I love, and that person is you." I poured my heart and soul to her.

"I've never heard you say anything like that. But it still hurts."

"What hurts?"

"It hurts me that I'm a slut…" I interrupted her.

"You're not a slut."

"I am a slut. I am just a sex toy to the people I have been in love with. You, Ricky. And both of you have been in love with Amy. I am Amy's best friend now, but I've always been secretly jealous of her. She gets to choose which guy she gets and I'm stuck with no one."

"Well, you have one thing that Amy doesn't have."

She raised an eyebrow and stared skeptically at me.

"You have me." I looked her into her eyes. She leaned in and gave me a kiss. It felt great. It felt right.

"I, uh, I have to talk to you, after Grace's speech." She said nervously. She was breathing heavily. What does that mean?

AMY'S POV

Grace was getting ready to give her speech about me and Ricky.

She cleared her throat. "What I have to say about Amy and Ricky will blow your minds. They've been through so much." She flashed a smile to John who smiled back. "High school, raising a child, relationships, and so much more, including a double proposal. But there were also good times. For example, Ricky's oh-so romantic proposal on the balcony of Cinderella's castle at Disneyland." The crowd simultaneously said 'aww'. "And with that I would like to announce something that Ricky told me to add on. Something they have been keeping quiet."

"Oh no." I said.

"Like the surprise?" My stomach rolled into a tight knot.

"Amy Juergens, our beautiful bride is..." Grace collapsed onto the ground, the microphone crashing and making a loud noise.

"Grace!" Jack shouted. We all piled in to help her.

"Aaahh!!" She shrieked.

"What's wrong, Grace?"

"The baby is coming… RIGHT NOW!" Grace yelled.

"Grace! Grace, don't worry, we have time to get to the hospital. Your contractions aren't even close enough together to get an epidural."

"Everybody! Get into your cars and drive to the hospital. We'll meet you there with Grace. Grace, can you walk?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." She stood up and collapsed again.

Jack held her in his arms and picked her up. We all piled into dad's new van. I don't know why he bought it, maybe a whole mid-life crisis thing to go with the motorcycle, but it sure came in handy now. We laid Grace in the back while she held onto the seats. Not the brightest thing, but that was the only place where she could lay down.

We got to the hospital in the blink of an eye. We grabbed a wheelchair from out front and Grace stepped in it. By this time, the contractions were pretty close. They admitted her in and we demanded she get an epidural. They gave her the shot and she was pretty much out of it for awhile. Me, Ricky, and Jack sat in her room.

"We should probably wait outside." Ricky suggested. We walked out of the room and sat in one of the chairs. I remember this place from over six years ago. Not necessarily bad memories. If it didn't happen, I wouldn't be sitting here in a wedding dress.

"We're probably going to go through this again in a few months. Might as well jog the memory." He smiled. "Is the baby kicking? Is that why you're uncomfortable?"

"No. Ricky, I'm not pregnant."

"You're not? Oh sweet God, thank you!" That answer shocked me.

"You're not mad that I lied to you?"

"Not as much as I am glad we're not having a baby. Come on, I just married you, I don't want to share you with ANOTHER person. At least not yet. Why'd you say you were anyway?"

"Actually, after we had sex in Disneyland, I took a test because I was late and it was negative. Then, I got the idea of telling you I was pregnant to see who would react better. I already chose you in my mind after you told me Ben called Adrian. THAT'S why I freaked out when Grace was about to tell everyone I was pregnant."

"That makes sense. Pretty brilliant."

12 hours later…

Me and Ricky went to a hotel after about two hours. The doctor said it would be a while longer and Jack told us to go home and enjoy whatever's left of our steamy wedding night.

We woke up at about 9:30 AM and rushed to the hospital. As soon as we were inside the double doors, Jack sprinted up to

us and yelled, "Good news! I had twins and they're girls!"

"I had them, Jack!" Grace walked up from behind.

"Sorry, got carried away."

"Wait… did you say TWINS?!" I shrieked.

"Yup, twin girls. Anna Grace Pappas, 6.7 pounds, Caytlin Rebecca Pappas, 7.3 pounds. Anna Grace was born first. Then Caytlin."

"When can you take them home?" Ricky asked.

Grace pulled out two baby carriages.

"Right now."

"Hey Caytlin! Anna Grace!" The babies cooed and we laughed.

"We should probably get home. See you later Amy! Have a great time on your honeymoon." Grace and Jack walked out of the hospital with their beautiful babies in tow.

BEN'S POV

"I love you, Adrian."

"Is love enough?"Adrian answered.

"I'll never leave you. I won't be another Ricky or... or Antonio."

"Please don't talk about him." Adrian was scooting away from me. "I love you, Ben, but you won't love me."

"I love you more than anything. I love you more than I love Amy. I love you more than Ricky loves Amy. I love you more than I love my dad even."

"Let me finish. You won't love me when you hear what I have to say." She gulped and she held my hand. "I wasn't going to tell you this. I'm eating for two now. I'm preg- pregnant."

"Is it, uh, mine?" She looked at me in a funny way. "Ugh. How come no baby is ever mine!?!"

"Relax. I'm not far along enough for it to be anyone else's. It's yours, Ben, it's your baby. You're getting a daughter."

"A daughter? What are we gonna name her?"

"I want a spanish name. Like Leticia, nicknamed Leti. It was my great grandmother's name, on my father's side. Leticia Enriquez. Leti Boykewich."

"I like that name. It's unique. We'll think more about it later." I wrapped my arms around her and she buried her face into my shoulder.

AMY'S POV

Me and Ricky walked to his apartment and cuddled on his bed.

"Ricky. Do ya think Adrian's pregnant?" He sat up and looked me in the eye.

"What makes you think that?"

"She was dancing with Ben. I heard her say to Ben that she needed to 'talk to him in private'. And she looks like she gained weight and she's not wearing anything too tight against her."

"Nice theory."

"I'll call her." Ricky said.

He dialed her number and I heard an 'uh huh' and 'sure' and 'great!' while I was eavesdropping.

"It's Ben's kid. She wants to name her Leticia after her great grandmother."

"Aww. You think we could have a kid?"

"We have a kid."

"He's not a kid. He's our little man. He was smart enough to know that Ben wasn't my guy. And smart enough to know that you were."I looked at my watch. It read 12:35.

"We should go, Ricky. We're all packed. Miami's waiting." I batted my eyelashes.

"Ok, but there's one thing we forgot to do." He picked up our bags and carried them to the car. Then he picked me up and kissed me and carried me over the threshold.

That's the end of the normal story. After this, one more chapter and it's a reunion chapter. Aww. Grace had her baby and Adrian's pregnant and Amy's not pregnant. Anna Grace Pappas, Caytlin Rebecca Pappas, Leticia "Leti" Boykewich. The name Leti is funny because the girl who plays Adrian in the show is Francia Raisa who played the character "Leti" in Bring it On: All or Nothing. Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
