Meanwhile in New York...

"So we're finally at the observation tower...You're going to love it Amy." Ben said as he got of the car with Amy.

"I'm sure I will. It's a restaurant up there, right?" Amy asked sweetly.

"Yes it is...Let's go in." Ben smiled as he grabbed Amy's hand and they walked into the tower together and got on an elevator to take them to the top.

A few minutes later they got off the elevator and walked into the restaurant.

"Uh...Why is there nobody else here?" Amy asked concerned.

"Heh...You'll see...Hello sir. I'm Ben Boykevich." Ben said happily as he walked to the host.

"Good evening sir. We've been expecting you. Right this way to your table." The host said nicely.

He lead Ben and Amy to their table and they sat down.

"Wow! This view is amazing!" Amy said surprised as her eyes widened while she looked at the water falls outside.

"Yes it is...Thank you sir." Ben said smiling to Amy and then to the host.

"My pleasure...The waiter will be right with you." The host said kindly and he left.

"Ok...What is going on? Why are we the only people here?" Amy said seriously.

"I reserved the entire place to ourselves for the night. I told you I would knock your socks off. Happy birthday Amy." Ben grinned as he looked at Amy.

"Aww Ben! You're so amazing! I love you so much!" Amy said happily as leaned over the table and gave Ben a short kiss.

"Uh hem...Is the lovely couple ready to order?" A tall and French waiter asked.

"Yes sir...Can we have apple cider for a drink and we'll also have chicken wings for appetizers with bread rolls...For the main course we'll have steak, with green beans, mashed potatoes, corn, carrots, and peas. Finally for desert, we'll have chocolate chip ice cream with the birthday cake." Ben said nicely.

"Excellent sir...The appetizers should be ready in a few minutes." The waiter said as he took their menus.

"Wow...That all sounds very delicious. I think we'll be stuffed by the end of the night." Amy smiled slowly.

"Yeah...I know how much you like steak so I thought that would be the best thing to get with a bunch of vegetables. And chicken wings for appetizers of course. You deserve the best birthday dinner." Ben said happily.

"Thank you...You really have blown me away already...I don't know if I'll be able to handle anymore surprises...Ha ha..." Amy smirked.

"Oh...I think you can...I left your presents at the hotel so I guess you can open them later." Ben said confidently as he smiled.

"Heh...That's fine...I really was not expecting this at all..." Amy said sweetly.

"Yeah...It's the least I could do since you are the love of my life...I even paid for it with my own money." Ben said seriously.

"Aww...You're the love of my life too...It must have cost you a fortune." Amy said sweetly.

"It wasn't too bad...Just a couple hundred dollars...That's including the food. Ha ha..." Ben said nicely.

"Well, I couldn't have asked for a better birthday dinner." Amy said honestly and she gave Ben a long kiss.

The waiter interrupted them again as he put their appetizers on the table and poured their drinks.

"I hope you two enjoy. Your main course should be ready in about forty five minutes." The waiter said kindly.

"Heh...Thanks again...This looks so good." Ben said excited.

"Yes it does...I bet they're not as good as your wings though." Amy said as she picked up a chicken wing.

"We'll see..." Ben said as he grabbed a wing and put it up to his mouth.

Meanwhile at Adrian's and Omar's house...

"Mm...That smells so good hun." Adrian said as she walked in the kitchen.

"Thank you...You do too...Is that a new perfume?" Omar said grinning as he put the food on the table.

"Yes it is...I got it from the mall the other day...Ha ha...So where's Dante at?" Adrian said sweetly.

"He should be here in about ten minutes. That's what he texted me a few minutes ago." Omar said as he took off his apron and oven mitts.

"All right...I'll put out the silver wear and glasses." Adrian said kindly.

"Thanks...I need to change shirts really quick...I got some grease on this one..Ugh..." Omar said a little irritated as he left the kitchen.

"Heh...You always do that when you cook." Adrian said sarcastically as she put the silver wear and glasses on the table.

A few minutes later the doorbell rang.

"Hello! Come on in." Adrian said excited as she opened the door to Dante, Lauren, and two other young college guys.

"Thanks Adrian...Mmm...Omar made Mama's chicken, didn't he?" Dante said excited.

"Yes I did bro...I'm glad you're here." Omar said happily as he walked in and gave Dante a hug.

"It smells delicious." Lauren said happily.

"You're going to love it babe...Where can we put our coats?" Dante asked as he took off his black jacket.

"There's a coat rack right there." Omar said nicely as he pointed at the coat rack by the door.

Dante took Lauren's and his friend's coats and put them on the coat rack. Everyone sat down and Adrian put a couple liter sodas on the table.

"Uh...You don't have any vodka?" Dante asked awkwardly.

"What are you? An alcoholic now?" Omar asked joking as he sat down.

"You better not become one. It can do a lot of damage to your body." Lauren said seriously.

"Aight...Everyone calm down...I'm not gonna become an alcoholic. I just like to have a drink every once in awhile." Dante said calmly.

"Yeah...Like at that one party dude...You got so wasted our freshmen year..." One of Dante's friends named Micheal laughed.

"Uh...Ok...So you get drunk at parties now? I thought you seemed like a nice guy..." Adrian said concerned.

"Shut up Micheal! No...I used to...It's not really my thing anymore..." Dante said a little irritated and then seriously.

"I sure hope not...Cause I don't want to be with a guy who drinks to get drunk...That's just stupid..." Lauren said as she rolled her eyes.

"Amen to that...For real though...Lauren, you are like the nicest girl that Dante's hooked up with." Dante's other friend named Kevin said honestly.

"Thank you Kevin but for your information...we're not hooking up anytime soon." Lauren said sincerely.

"What? I didn't mean sex...I meant...You're the nicest girl that he's been out with since I've known him." Kevin said awkwardly.

"Oh...That's good to hear because he used to go out with...not so nice girls..." Omar said sadly.

"Is that counting me?" Adrian asked seriously as she looked at Omar after wiping her mouth.

"You went out with Adrian?" Lauren said shocked as she looked at Dante.

"Uh...Sort of..." Dante said with a feeling of discomfort in his voice.

"Of course that's not counting you, babe...Anyone need more soda?" Omar asked nicely.

Kevin and Micheal shook their head no while they looked at Omar.

"Heh...It's fine...If it wasn't for Dante, I wouldn't have met you." Adrian said happily.

"Um...I'm confused...How did you meet Adrian?" Lauren said seriously as Micheal and Kevin ate their food quietly.

"Ugh...I was set up with her on a blind date actually by Omar's friend Daniel and that Grace girl...We only hung out a couple times." Dante said nervously.

"All righty...How about we change the subject? How do you guys like school?" Omar said after eating some of his chicken.

"That's probably a good idea..." Dante said as he smiled slowly.

"You slept with her, didn't you?" Lauren said a little irritated.

"Yeah...I've been with lots of girls actually...I'm sorry Lauren." Dante said honestly. Adrian looked at Dante with sad eyes.

"I should have known...What else don't I know about you?" Lauren asked concerned.

"Nothing...I swear I've told you everything that you need to know about me." Dante said seriously.

"I was afraid this would happen...Listen Lauren...my brother was a player when he was in high school mostly but I think he's willing to change." Omar said sincerely.

"So do I...Just like how Ricky has changed...I think he'll end up doing all right..." Adrian said as she smiled slowly.

"Thank you Omar and Adrian. You trust me, right?" Dante said nicely as he looked at Adrian and Omar and then at Lauren.

"Yes I do. Thank you for telling me the truth Dante." Lauren said as she smiled slowly.

"You're welcome Lauren. Can I get some more rice and chicken?" Dante said nicely as he looked at Lauren.

Meanwhile in California...

Grace was finishing her homework when Ricky walked into his apartment.

"Finally I'm done for the day." Rick said as he took his shoes off.

"Good...I finished all my homework..." Grace said seriously.

"Uh...Is there a problem?" Ricky asked concerned.

"Yes...I moved in all of my stuff from my car and I couldn't find my diary." Grace said worried.

"Oh...Is this it?" Ricky asked as he took out Grace's diary from a drawer by his self.

"Thank you Ricky! Where did you get it?" Grace said excited as she took her diary from Ricky.

"Chloe dropped it off earlier...She said that you left it in your room at school." Ricky said nicely.

"Aww! That was really sweet of her. Did she read it again?" Grace said nicely and then concerned.

"I don't think so...Why do you even write one anyway?" Ricky said kindly.

"It helps me connect with God more and...just with life...I would like to show it to my daughter someday..." Grace said honestly.

"I think that's amazing, Grace...I'm going to take a quick shower and then we can go on our date." Ricky said sweetly.

"Mmm...Can I join you?" Grace smirked as she pulled Ricky close to her.

"Ha ha...I wish..." Ricky said seductively.

Grace gave Ricky a long kiss and he pulled away from her.

"I love you so much." Grace said sweetly as she licked her lips.

"I love you too..." Ricky said happily and he went into the bathroom.

Aaaah...If only we could do more...I should get ready. Grace sighed and she went into the bedroom to change clothes, to fix her make up, and to curl her hair.

Meanwhile in New York..

"Wow...I am so full...I don't know how I'll have room for desert." Amy said smiling as she wiped her mouth.

"Are you sure? It's going to be delicious." Ben said happily.

A few minutes later a few waiters and waitresses walked over to their table with a big white birthday cake with lighted candles and a tub of chocolate chip ice cream.

"Oh my...This is amazing!" Amy said shocked as she smiled.

"Heh...You're sure it's not too much?" Ben said nicely.

"Of course not." Amy said sweetly.

The waiters and waitresses sang happy birthday to Amy while dancing and then they served them cake and ice cream.

"Ha ha! That was incredible! Thank you so much!" Amy said excited as she clapped.

"It was our pleasure miss...I hope you have a wonderful birthday." One of the waiters said kindly as he bowed.

"Heh...I just had to ask them to do the dancing...I thought it would be worth it." Ben said as he picked up his fork.

"It defiantly was...Do we get to keep all this cake and ice cream?" Amy said as she took a bite of her cake.

"Yes we do. Aaaah...It's so good..." Ben said smiling as he took a bite of his cake.

"Mmm...It's my favorite kind...Chocolate on the inside with vanilla and coco nut icing." Amy said excited.

"I know...After this do you want to head back and open your presents?" Ben asked intrigued.

"Of course I do...I just wish my family was here to celebrate my birthday with me..." Amy said happily and then sadly.

"Yeah...I know...I did buy presents that they would give you." Ben said sincerely.

"Thank you Ben...At least I have you and John as my family now." Amy smiled slowly.

"Of course...We'll always be here for you." Ben said honestly as he walked over to Amy and hugged her.

"Happy birthday Amy!" Familiar voices said.

"What the? Who was that?" Amy said confused as she let go of Ben.

"Your family." Ben said happily as he turned around.

There was a big screen with a laptop with a web cam that was looking at Ben and Amy. George, Anne, and Ashley were on Skype on the screen.

"Oh wow! This is incredible! Hey Mom, Dad, and Ashley! Thank you so much!" Amy said with a big smile on her face.

"You're welcome Amy...We're sorry that we're not with you on your birthday but...at least we can see you." Anne said smiling.

"It's ok Mom...Where are the three of you right now?" Amy asked confused.

"I'm at home right now...And I don't know where your mother is." George said seriously.

"Really George? I'm at my mother's...Mimsy would wish you a happy birthday Amy but...she's not feeling too well...She's actually been in the hospital for a few days." Anne said sadly.

"Oh no! Is she going to be all right?" Amy asked concerned.

"What do you think? She's probably going to have cancer or something." Ashley said seriously.

"Ashley! That's a horrible thing to say!" Anne said shocked.

"What? I'm just being honest. Mimsy is getting old Mom...Anyway, I hope you're having a great birthday Amy." Ashley said sincerely and then nicely.

"She is right Anne...We all hope you're having a great birthday Ames...We love you and can't wait to see you again." George said nicely.

"Heh...Thanks Dad...I can't wait to see all of you again too...And Ben took me to Niagara Falls." Amy said as she smiled.

"Yeah we know...It was his idea to have us do this Skype thing...It's pretty neat." Anne said sweetly.

"Yup...Just remember to use a condom." Ashley said sarcastically.

"Uh...Are you serious right now?" Amy asked awkwardly.

"Ashley! That is none of you business." Anne said a little irritated.

"What? Apparently it was everyone else's business when Amy was having sex at home. How is it any different now?" Ashley said concerned.

"She's right...You two better not being having unprotected sex...Not unless you want another kid." George said seriously.

"All right...This has gotten a little out of hand...We're not having sex right now...Mr. Jergens..." Ben said nervously.

"I sure hope not...Anyway, thanks for giving Amy a great birthday Ben...I gotta get dinner started." George said nicely.

"It was my pleasure...I hope you have a great night...sir..." Ben smiled slowly and Amy giggled.

"You too Ben...And Amy, Anne, and Ashley...I love you." George said kindly as he smiled.

"I love you too Dad." Amy said happily.

"We love you too George...Happy birthday Amy...I love you." Anne said sweetly after George hung up.

"Love you too Mom...I hope Mimsy gets better." Amy said nicely.

"Me too...I'll talk to you later...Bye Ashley and Ben." Anne said kindly as she waved at the camera.

"Bye Mom...Bye Amy and Ben." Ashley said sweetly as she waved at the camera also.

"Bye Anne and Ashley!" Ben said happily as he waved at the camera with Amy.

"Love you to Ash!" Amy said sweetly after Anne hung up.

"Thanks Amy...I'll talk to you later. Love you too." Ashley said smiling and she hung up.

"Well...That went well huh?" Ben said sincerely.

"Heh...Yeah...It went better then I thought it would...We actually sounded like a real family...Thank you so much for setting this up Ben. You're the best." Amy said happily as she hugged Ben.

"I knew you would love to hear from them on your birthday...I love you Amy." Ben said honestly as he rubbed Amy's back.

"I love you too...Let's get out of here." Amy said smiling and she gave Ben a long kiss.

Meanwhile at Adrian's and Omar's house...

After dinner, Micheal and Kevin left while Dante and Lauren stayed.

"I don't blame them for leaving...Dinner was a little awkward..." Dante said as he sat down on a chair in the living room.

"That's partly your fault..." Lauren said sadly.

"It doesn't matter. I think your friends had a nice time..." Omar said smiling.

"Yeah man...They loved the food...And thanks for making that...I miss Mom's cooking." Dante said nicely.

"So do I but at least I know how to cook it and so does Adrian." Omar said happily as he sat next to Adrian on the couch.

"Yeah but I'm not as good at cooking as you are Omie." Adrian smirked and she gave Omar a kiss on the cheek.

"Heh...It just amazes me that you're already married Adrian...I thought you were always really independent." Lauren said honestly.

"So did I but then she fell in love with me." Omar said sweetly.

"It's true. He stole my heart and threw away the key. Ha ha..." Adrian said sweetly and grinned as she laid her head on Omar's shoulder.

"Aww...You two are so sweet. I'm really happy for you both...And I'm really excited to be an uncle! Have you thought of any baby names?" Dante asked happily.

"Uh...It's a little soon for that. We don't know if we're having a boy or girl." Adrian said nervously.

"That's true. Do you want to find out the sex of the baby?" Lauren asked excited.

"Honestly, I would like to be surprised but if Adrian wants to find out then I don't mind." Omar smiled as he looked at Adrian.

"Thanks hun...I think I would like to be surprised too actually. Maybe it will be good luck since the last time I knew..." Adrian smiled and then looked at the floor with sadness on her face.

"Hopefully...Sometimes that happens Adrian...I really hope you have a healthy baby." Lauren said kindly.

"Thank you Lauren...It's just so hard...I'm excited that I'm pregnant again but I'm also really scared." Adrian said honestly.

"Don't be scared. I'm sure you'll do fine with the pregnancy. You lived through it once but..." Omar said confidently and then he began to feel tears in his eyes.

"Listen guys...No matter what happens, you two will always have each other. That's the beauty of marriage. Unless one of you dies...I know that Omar almost did and thank God that he's all right...Even if that does happen...at least you two can say that you have found love that is real and true. And if you two can't have your own kids for some reason...you can always adopt. There are a lot of kids out there who don't have parents." Dante explained sincerely.

"Thank you Dante...You actually say something good every once in awhile." Omar smiled slowly as he wiped his eyes.

"I try my best. You two deserve all the love and happiness in the world." Dante said nicely.

"Thanks...I'm glad to have you as my brother in law Dante." Adrian said happily.

"He can be a sweet heart at the right moment. Hopefully he will stay that way." Lauren said sweetly as she hugged Dante from the side.

"Heh...You're welcome...Do you have any games?" Dante said kindly as he let go of Lauren.

"Yes we do...We have video games, card games, and board games." Omar said excited.

"Let's start with some video games." Dante said happily.

"Sounds good. I'll just pull out the playstation." Omar said as he walked over to the TV.

"You know I'm going to whoop your butt." Adrian said seriously.

"Is she for real?" Dante asked surprised.

"Yeah...Adrian's pretty good. Are you Lauren?" Omar said as he turned on the playstation and TV.

"I've been playing video games since I was five. I have an older brother and I have beaten him at almost every playstation game so this should be fun." Lauren bragged as she sat next to Adrian on the couch.

"Hmm...How is your brother anyway? It's Jason right?" Adrian asked concerned.

"He's doing all right...This semester he's been doing some medical training program and next semester he's going Grace's school. He ran into her the other day there." Lauren said seriously.

"Oh...That's really great. We defiantly need more doctors. Heh...What are you studying?" Adrian asked intrigued.

"I want to be a veterinarian since I love animals...So for now I'm studying zoology." Lauren said excited.

"Sounds like fun...Animals are really great but I don't know if I would like working with them all day...I love studying law and I'm really excited to go to law school." Adrian said honestly.

Omar and Dante were playing a car racing game and Adrian and Lauren watched them.

Meanwhile in California...

"How did you like the steak and potatoes?" Ricky said as he threw away their trash.

"They were delicious. What are we going to do now?" Grace said excited.

"Just follow me across the street." Ricky said as he grabbed Grace's hand and they walked across the street to the mini golf park.

"Aww! I haven't played mini gold in so long! My Dad used to take Tom and I here all the time when we were little." Grace said sweetly.

"Really? I didn't know...Adrian thought it would be a good idea to come here." Ricky smiled as the walked to the entrance.

"Heh...She has good tastes...Why did you ask her? Don't you know how to surprise me?" Grace asked suspiciously.

"Uh...Eighteen holes for two please." Ricky said to the person at the cash register in a window.

"That will be twenty five dollars." The short man said.

Ricky paid twenty five dollars and they walked into the park.

"I do know how to surprise you but I needed to come up with a new idea so I asked Adrian for help." Ricky said as he grabbed two golf clubs.

"All right...I'm glad you listened to her." Grace said happily as she took her gold club from Ricky.

That was a long one. Ha ha! What's going to happen next on Grace's and Ricky's date? Aww! Ben was so sweet to Amy on her birthday! Is Mimsy going to be ok? Dante seemed to be getting along well with everyone too. Stay tuned to see what happens next! There will be more parts with minor characters coming up too. Let me know what you think. Thank you! :)
