Here's Chapter 2! Here's the beginning of the flashback story. Ben & Kai and Kevin & Gwen celebrate their marriage at their biggest reception. Enjoy:

It was 10 years ago in the late month of February. Ben & Kai and Kevin & Gwen met up in a restaurant to discuss celebrating their marriage with the family. Even though these two couples were getting married on different days through a private ceremony (only their parents would attend), there was no way that their families could afford to have two wedding receptions.

"So, how should we all celebrate our marriages with our families?" asked Kai

"Well, I think I have an idea," said Ben

"What is it?" asked Kevin

"Since Gwen and I share the same birthday, why don't we both celebrate the same wedding reception?" suggested Ben

"That's not a bad idea," said Gwen

"But wait, how will that work with two couples. Don't families usually celebrate the marriage of one couple?" said Kevin

"Kevin, families can celebrate the marriage of two couples," said Gwen

"Well I'm in," said Kai

"Me too," said Ben

"You already have my vote," said Gwen

Ben, Kai, and Gwen looked at Kevin waiting for his answer. He signed and also agreed which made the girls smile.

"Alright, but shouldn't we plan out who gets to dance on the floor first, who gets to cut the cake. That sort of thing," said Kevin

"Honey, don't worry about that. It's going to work out," said Gwen

"But first comes our private wedding ceremonies," said Ben gazing into Kai's eyes

During their meal, the two couples went over the plans for the wedding reception and reminded each other of the date of their private wedding ceremonies. Ben & Kai were getting married May 7th. Kevin & Gwen were getting married May 14th so they decided to share the wedding reception on May 21st. Even though this big day was 3 months away, the plans had to be set so the invitations could be sent out. Within a few hours, everything was planned out. Kai and Gwen agreed to make the invitations for the wedding reception while Ben and Kevin went to reserve a spot for the big ceremony and they found the perfect place. It was in a beautiful garden park. The building that they reserved for May was big enough for a convention and it had a great view of the garden park. Roses grew on each side of the entry way. Once Kevin and Ben brought back the papers of their reservation for the reception, Kai and Gwen wrote the address on the invitations. By dinner time, the invitations were set, ready to be mailed tomorrow. Everything was set. They couldn't wait for that big day to arrive.

3 months pass and the day of the wedding reception had arrived. The Tennysons, Levins, and Greens were all gathered together, including friends. Everyone was dressed up including Max.

"They grow up so fast," said Max

"I can't believe this is happening," said Sandra

"I know what you mean. It just seemed like yesterday we were bringing our babies home from the hospital," said Natalie

"Now honey, we knew that this day was going to come. I had to give my Gwen away to the one she loved," said Frank

"My baby boy has left the nest!" cried Sandra

"My baby girl left too!" wailed Natalie

Sandra and Natalie both hugged each other and cried. Frank and Carl tried to comfort their wives. They knew that they were happy and also sad. Suddenly an announcer started speaking in the microphone as the lights shined on the door.

"Ladies and Gentleman, I would like to introduce to you for the first time; Mr. and Mrs. Ben & Kai Tennyson and Mr. and Mrs. Kevin & Gwen Levin!" he announced

The doors opened as the two couples walked in. Everyone in the room was clapping and cheering. Sandra and Natalie continued to cry. Ben & Kai walked onto the dance floor to share their first dance while Kevin & Gwen waited for their turn.

In my world before you
Lived outside my emotions
Didn't know where I was going
Until that day, I found you
How you opened my life
To a new paradise

In a world torn by change
Still with all my heart
Until my dying day

Ben and Kai danced slowly to the mood of the song. They kept their eyes on each other. Both were so happy and in love. Kevin and Gwen watched. Gwen sighed.

"This song is so beautiful," she said

"Ours is better," said Kevin as he kissed her

When the song ended, Ben and Kai shared a kiss and everyone clapped and cheered. Then they stepped off the dance floor and sat at their table while Kevin & Gwen moved onto the dance floor to share their first dance. Kevin's mother pulled out the video camera and began filming when their song began.

You are the only one, my everything

and for you this song I sing

And all my life I've prayed for someone like you
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life I've prayed for someone like you
And I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes, I pray that you do love me too

Ben and Kai watched them dance. Kai was even starting to shed a few tears. She was so happy, Gwen was happy, everyone was happy. They have picked a perfect day for this big wedding reception celebration. Later on, there was a mother son/father daughter dance. That brought tears to Gwen's eyes. Dancing with her daddy was an emotional, but happy moment. Gwen could see that her dad was also shedding some tears.

"Daddy, don't cry," said Gwen

"Why did you have to grow up so fast?" he replied

"I don't know. It just happened."

They continued their dance and when the song ended, Frank pulled Gwen into a hug.

"I love you baby," he said

"I love you too daddy," said Gwen

Few hours later, it was time to cut the cake. There were two big cakes sitting on the table. One was chocolate (Ben & Kai's) and the other was vanilla (Kevin & Gwen's). Family and friends gathered around as the couples started cutting their cake. One gave the other a bite and then Gwen smashed the rest of her piece of cake in Kevin's face. Everybody laughed and then Kevin pulled Gwen into a hug and kissed her, making sure she got some cake in her face too. Cameras were going off. Ben and Kai just stood their and laughed. Ben was about to do the same thing, but Kai stopped him.

"Don't even think about it buster," she said

"Awe, you never let me have any fun," Ben said

These two couple's wedding reception went really well. This was the 2nd best day of their lives. Ben & Kai and Kevin & Gwen looked ahead, into the future. What will it bring? Well, that's part of the surprises in life.

End of Chapter 2. Sorry if this was a bit short. I'm going to try to make the next chapter longer. It'll be posted soon. The lyrics I put in this fanfic was only used for fan purposes only and nothing else.
