I had no intention of writing anyting that happened during the reception. I was just going to skip ahead two weeks for the amnio and Dasey baby gender reveal, but when I sat down to type, this is what came out. I hope you're not too disappointed.
Citney, Jitsy, Dasey
She felt a hand snake its way into hers and before she knew what was happening she was being pulled inside the house and pushed up against the wall of the kitchen.
Hungry lips covered hers quickly and she instantly melted against him. It was an urgent and needy kiss, unlike most they had shared. When he finally pulled away, he didn't go far, resting his forehead on hers.
"Wow," was all she could say as she tried to catch her breath.
"I've been dying to do that since the moment I sat my guitar down," he said as he himself struggled to regain control of his breathing.
She brought her hands up to the lapels of his suit coat and kissed him once more before smiling as she said, "You were amazing out there Cameron. You're wonderful."
His face took on a slight reddish tint at the praises coming from her. To please Whitney was more important than anything in the world to him.
"I think," she went on, as her smile became even bigger, "that we proved today that we're totally perfect together." She then grew more serious as she looked him directly in the eyes and whispered, "I love you so much."
He felt chills run straight through him and he knew that she had no idea what she did to him. He wanted her so badly right now. He literally ached for her. He brought his hands up to the sides of her face and buried his hands in her hair as he once again brought his lips crashing down onto hers. He knew that if he lived to be a hundred he'd never be able to get enough of her.
Her hands left the lapels of his jacket and moved to his chest, snaking slowing across.
Finally, gathering every bit of will power he could muster, he slowly pulled away from her. His hands relaxed in her hair and he groaned at the loss of contact. "We've got to stop."
Whitney got a pouty look on her face as her big blue eyes stared straight into his. "I don't want too."
He closed his eyes, willing himself to not go along with her words, to not drag her upstairs. He knew no one would even miss them for awhile. This was Jenna and Jordan's special day. But to him, any day with Whitney was special. He almost laughed out loud at the thoughts that went through his head these days. He had never been a romantic. He'd never had to be. Girls were just naturally drawn to him and it didn't take much effort at all to get them to go along with what ever he wanted. And now, here was the girl of his dreams, the person he loved more than anyone in the world, basically offering herself to him and he couldn't do it.
"Don't tempt me like that," he said with grin. "It wouldn't take much for me to lose every bit of decency I have in me and drag you upstairs."
"Why don't you?"
"Because, I love you and no matter how much my body tells me otherwise, we're not ready. That's not what our relationship's built on and that's not what I want it to be about. I love you Whit. And it's crazy and exciting and scary and the most incredible thing I've ever experienced in my life. We don't need all that right now to complicate things. We don't need that to know how we feel about each other."
She cocked her head and looked into his eyes, seeing the truth in them. And if it was possible, she fell even more in love with him at that moment. She could have kissed him again, but she longed for something even more intimate. So she slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him towards her. He immediately gathered her into his arms as they heard the music begin to play outside.
She placed her face in the crook of his neck and he buried his face in her hair. And they danced, alone in the kitchen, away from the crowd. Just the two of them.

Jordan looked down at the girl wrapped in his arms. It almost seemed surreal to him. She was his; she was officially his, now and forever more. It was almost too much to comprehend. He thought he knew how much he loved her but now, with his ring on her finger and his last name now at the end of hers, he realized that this was just the beginning. He knew that from now on, just when he thought he couldn't love her more, something else would happen along the way and he would once again find himself awestruck at the feelings she caused to run through him.
"Hey, where are you?" she asked as she brought a hand up to his cheek.
"What?" he asked, once he realized that she was talking to him.
"I said where are you?"
"I'm right here with you," he teased.
"You know what I meant. You seem a thousand miles away."
"I guess I kind of was," he said as he leaned down to place a soft kiss on her forehead. "I was just thinking about how much I love you and how much life we still have ahead of us. I can't wait to see what's in store. We've got an apartment to pick out in New York and then of course the baby. I can't wait to find out if it's a boy or a girl. And then actually getting to raise our son or daughter, we're going to have an amazing life."
She smiled up at him. "Can you believe this is real? We're actually married."
"Yes we are," he said, smiling back down at her. "So, how long is it going to take you to get used to being Jenna Hart?"
"Oh, probably not nearly as long as you think it's going too. I've kind of been imagining it in my head for the last eight years, so I think it'll come to me pretty naturally."
He shook his head and laughed at her honesty. His love for her was so new and fresh, so exciting, that it was crazy to think that she'd had feelings for him for so long. "Well, I think it's the most natural thing in the world," he said as he leaned down to rub her nose with his playfully, before bending even further for a soft, sweet kiss.

Derek walked into the bathroom just as Casey was putting toothpaste on her brush. He grabbed his quickly and held it out for her to squirt some on top of the bristles. They stood there brushing their teeth in silence, except for the sound of spitting every once in a while.
Casey rinsed her toothbrush off and then ran some water in the glass they kept by the sink. She took a drink, rinsing her mouth out thoroughly before spitting the water out. She then handed the glass to Derek and he did the same.
He poured the rest of the water out of the glass and then rinsed it out and sat it back down in its proper place. He grinned at Casey before grabbing her and lifting her up slightly until she was sitting on the vanity in front of him. Her legs were spread slightly as she sat there looking at him funny and he walked in between them until he was right up against her.
He placed his hands on her thighs and rubbed them gently. "Do you have any idea how much I love brushing my teeth with you?"
She raised her eyebrows and gave him a funny look.
"I'm serious," he said with a smirk. "It was the first thing we ever did together that made me think about you differently. Do you remember the first time we brushed our teeth together?"
She nodded her head. "If my memory serves me correctly, I came into the bathroom and proceeded to talk to you about your two-timing ways. And you were being stupid the whole time, dangling your used floss all around my face."
"That's right. And then I threw in the bunny slippers comment to really get you riled up. And then I just walked away. But when I got to my room, I couldn't get the whole thing out of my head. I didn't know it at the time, but that was the beginning of the end for me."
"Beginning of the end?"
"I stayed with Kendra for a while, but it was never the same with her or any girl after that. I never could find that thrill I was looking for with them. I started comparing every girl to you and no one ever matched up. I thought for a time that maybe Sally was the answer because you two were so much alike. But it was no use; there was no one like you. You know I didn't even date anyone the summer before senior year. Like I've told you before, I thought it was hopeless. You had Max and all I could hope for at the time was that the year would go by fast and then I could go off to university and away from you. I was just hoping that the feelings would go away when I didn't have to see you anymore. But I still looked forward to that time every night, when we would stand at the sink together and brush our teeth."
A huge smile crossed her face and she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I don't know if it's the relief of the wedding being over or the crazy pregnancy hormones taking control, but that may be absolutely one of the sweetest things you've ever said to me," she said before leaning forward to kiss him.
"You know," he said as the smirk returned to his face, "bathrooms are really great for brushing teeth but bedrooms are really great for other things."
"Other things, huh?" she said as a smirk of her own crossed her face. "Do you have other things on your mind at the moment?"
"Oh, I have plenty of things on my mind at the moment and they all happen to include you," he said as he scooped her up and carried her to their bed.
She giggled as he laid her down and then gently climbed on top. She brought a hand up to his forehead and brushed the hair out of his eyes. "Thank you," she whispered.
He pulled back slightly, a look of confusion coming over his face as he asked, "For what?"
"For all this," she said, "for being my husband and the father of my children. For giving me a life that I never could have believed possible when I was eighteen. There will never be enough words, no matter how many times I try, to tell you what you mean to me. I love you so much."
So, the two chapter sap-fest extravaganza has come to a close. I just thought that it kind of showed a progression. You have young love (Citney), newlyweds (Jitsy) and then a tried and true love (Dasey).
Anyway, I hope I didn't give any of you cavities from all the gooey sweetness, lol!
Review please!
