Author's Note:

I'm sorry about the delay, but I've been sorta pretty busy, so.. But, anyway, here's your update! :)

I'm ending this fic now for two reasons.

One: I hope to soon have a job. Then I won't have as much time to write as I do now, which is why I need to get the count of my active fics down to a manageable level, perhaps two or three.

Two: I just don't have any motivation for this fic anymore, and forcing myself to write the next chapter dampens the quality of the work, and that's not fair to you, the faithful readers.

So, I'm sorry, but, this is the end. I at least hope that you like how I ended it, if not the fact that I did. :)

Epilogue The Naming

Ben stood beside Kevin wearing a green suit, Kevin a black one, flushing and smiling as the older man took his hand in his with a gentle smile of his own directed back at Ben.

Ben's parents stood off to their son's left, Sandra crying obvious tears of happiness as Carl slipped his right arm around her shoulders.

Gwen stood next to their grandpa Max, her green eyes unusually subdued as she watched the ceremony.

"Do you, Kevin, take Ben to be your husband? In sickness and in health? For richer or for poorer? All the days of your life?"

"I do," Kevin replied without hesitation.

"And do you, Ben, promise Kevin the same, as well as giving Kevin your name as his own?"

"I do."

"Then I now pronounce you, Ben and Kevin Tennyson. You may kiss."

Ben smiled at Kevin, tilting his head back and closing his green eyes in expectation as the older man drew him close against his chest and kissed him tenderly on the mouth, the fingers of his left hand entwining in the strands of Ben's soft hair at the nape of his neck as they kissed lingeringly, pulling back slowly to smile at each other again happily.

One hour later, Ben was being held securely within his new husband's arms where they sat together on their couch at home, snuggling close into Kevin's side with a contented sigh, glad to be home finally after their reception, as it had been sorta crowded with their family and a lot of the people that Ben worked with at the Alien Immigrations and Regulations station, though he did most of his work at home now so that he could be with Kevin as much as possible when he wasn't working at his car garage.

The most eventful thing for them both, other then finally being married, was the dancing, even factoring in Gwen's eventual melt-down and hysterical screaming that she hated them both and that Ben had taken everything that she'd ever wanted from her.

Grandpa Max and her parents had managed to get her calmed down, but no one had been able to figure out yet just what exactly she'd been talking about.

"Ben?.." Kevin said to him softly.

"Yeah, Kev?"

"I love you, baby."

"I love you, too, my Heart."

"Ben, I've come to apologize to you for what I did at your wedding," Gwen stated when he opened the door the next morning, having just been watching a movie and eating salsa since Kevin wasn't home, his new husband being at work. "It was wrong of me, and I'm sorry."

"Oh.. That's, uh.. It's okay, Gwen."

"No, Ben, no it's not. I was just so angry, you see. I.. I've wanted Kevin for a long time now, though perhaps not as long as you have. But, regardless, I'm sorry, and I'm going to do my best to do better, because I want to be a part of your lives."

"Um, okay.. Thanks."

Gwen smiled, stepping forward then to hug Ben gently.

Two Months Later

Kevin drove Ben to his doctor's appointment, going in with him at his husband's request, watching the man like a hawk as he checked Ben over.

"Well, everything's fine. Perfectly fine. They're both perfectly healthy. If you want to have an ultra sound, Ben, it's likely that we'd be able to determine the baby's sex now."

"Already?" Ben asked in surprise.

"Yes."

"Um, alright. I do want to know."

"Congratulations, it's a boy."

"A boy?" Ben asked with a little grin curving his lips that Kevin couldn't decipher.

"Yes."

"Did you hear, Kev? It's a boy."

"Yes, I heard, Love. What do you want to call him, Benny baby?"

Ben smirked, a quiet laugh escaping him before he answered him.

"Bevin."
