Chapter 14: Wedding Bells Part 1

Tennyson Household

Sandra was over at the house with the girls discussing the weddings. She was so excited as she not only had one daughter in law but EIGHT!!!

Ben was currently away on a peace mission with Rook and Max so he told the girls to go nuts for the wedding plans and to fill him in when they could. Because this was very important.

The blonde woman had a HUGE binder full of wedding ideas. She did a lot of research on the alien species the girls came from and organized ideas.

Unfortunately, the majority of them were not following the cultures.

Mainly it was only Shar and Looma that were interested in doing it by the books of their species.

"Father has already arranged the wedding on my planet Revonnah and would like us to come soon to prepare." Shar told Sandra. "You are more than welcome to join as Father would love to meet you and Ben's father."

Sandra smiled. "I would love to. Carl comes back tomorrow from his business trip and we can plan."

"Good. We also need to do a blood ceremony that will tie our families together." Shar explained. "It is for the family mural painted in the blood."

Sandra went silent. "From the biological family?"

Shar nodded. "Especially the father."

Sandra got up and went to pour another cup of tea. "That…will be a problem…"

The girls looked at Sandra. "And why is that?" Ester asked.

The older woman sighed. "Ben…isn't our biological child…he was adopted."

This revelation made the girls' eyes go wide. Helen asked. "Do you know who his real parents are?"

Sandra said. "Only the father…an intimidating beast of a man named Yujiro…he was a monster that relished in combat…." She swirled her tea. "His mother was a woman named Emi...she was twenty-three when Ben was born...but she died during the birth and his father vanished…Max brought Ben to us…at least that was the name we gave him. He never had a real name." She sighed. "He doesn't know and we've been scared to tell him…"

Looma shouted. "Wait, you have not told him yet??!!"

Sandra shook her head in shame. "We should have but…it would destroy his whole life…knowing he isn't our blood…"

Hope spoke up. "But you have to. It will hurt him a lot more if you keep it a secret. And with Ben's new abilities developing…it could explain everything."

Sandra nodded. "I will…but for now, let's get back to planning." She smiled.

The girls agreed.

Meanwhile…

Ben was at the Plumber base in the bathroom. He had a fever radiating through his body and excused himself from the meeting. He groaned as he leaned against the wall, sweat dripping down his face. He looked into the mirror as his eyes started to change. "What the…"

His eyes were changing colors. From those beautiful green irises to a fiery red color.

The hero started to freak out. This wasn't normal and immediately went to see the medics.

The medics did blood work and everything looked normal. Max came to check on Ben. "What's wrong, son-" He saw Ben's eyes. "Oh no…"

Ben looked at Max, clearly freaking out. "Grandpa…what's happening to me?"

"Ben…it's time to talk…" He pulled a chair up. He called Retsu in as well, which confused Ben.

"Wait, why is Retsu here?" Ben asked.

Retsu said. "Because I know what is happening."

Max began to explain Ben's true origin. Retsu was friends with Ben's biological mother and father. Ben's father was a complete bastard, evil and vicious. So much that even the Tetramands feared him. Hell, he was the reason Gar was missing an arm and one of his eyes. When Ben was born and his mother died, Retsu came and brought the newborn to Max to place him somewhere safe away from his monster of a father. And that was with Carl and Sandra. Ben's genetics also explained why he could wield the power of the Omnitrix without going mad or evil. The fever he had was his internal energy trying to break free.

Ben was still processing this new information. His whole life…was a lie. "Everything I knew…it's all a damn lie…" He teared up.

"That is not true, Ben." Max assured him.

Ben shouted. "Yes it is!! My parents aren't really my parents. I'm not even related to you or Gwen by blood…I'm a misshapen piece of a broken puzzle…"

Max pulled his grandson into a hug. "Listen to me, son. Carl and Sandra are your parents. They love you with all their heart. They gave you a normal life so you wouldn't have to suffer. Without you…they wouldn't be who they are now. And you are a huge part of my life…a man I am proud of. "

Ben looked up.

"You went from being an arrogant child to a brave and kind man. You're getting married to eight beautiful women who love you for your soul. You have a beautiful daughter and a child on the way. And you are a hero." Max smiled.

Ben smiled back. "Thank you, Grandpa…I'm sorry I let my emotions get the better of me."

"It's okay, kid. We all lose it sometimes. What matters is how we react." Max smiled as he patted his shoulder. "And…" Max took a deep breath. "It's hard to admit, son but men are allowed to show their emotions too. We don't always have to be strong emotionally." He patted his back and gave him a small hug.

Ben nodded as he listened. "Thank you grandpa." He took a deep breath then looked over at Retsu. "So...I assume that's why you trained me. Because of my real father."

Retsu nodded. "It was also Azmuth's idea. Given my history with Yujiro, I was the most qualified. And you did not disappoint. You have a ferocity like him and his strength, but also the knowledge and skill to master it. Give it a few years, and you will be even stronger than him."

Ben smiled then asked. "What happened to him?"

"He is presumed dead. Some say Vilgax killed him years ago…and destroyed the planet your father is from." Retsu sighed.

Ben nodded. "I see…"

"But you should not dwell on it. You have a bright future to look forward to." Retsu patted Ben's back.

The hero smiled and nodded as he got up. "You're right. And...thanks for the talk. I needed it. And I think my fever is finally starting to settle down." He rubbed his head.

They nodded and left the room to get back to the meeting.

Days later…

Ben had returned home and he had a long conversation with his parents about his origin. His fiancés were there to support him.

There were tears and lots of hugs. Eventually, it was all settled and the family was whole again. And with that, they got back to planning the wedding week.

Julie was the first one they decided on since she was the first one to get pregnant. After her, it would be Looma, Shar, Ester, Hope, Helen and Attea. And Evie was the flower girl for all them!!!

The invites were sent out and within a few days, guests arrived for the wedding party of the century. It was a top tier list of important people. From old friends to intergalactic royalty.

Friends like Azmuth, Eunice, Myaxx, Tetrax, EightEight and her brothers, Cooper, Manny, Alan, Swift, Leander, Argit, Xylene,and several others.

Family also came like Gwen and Kevin with the twins, Lucy, Sunny, Verdona, Aunt Vera, Clyde, Ben's parents, Shar's family, Esters people, Warlord Gar, Uncle Hex, Gwen's parents, Kevin's family, Joel and Camille. Even Emperor Milleous came, escorted by Plumber Guards.

Several High Ranking Magisters even showed up as their best agent was getting married, including the Magistrata herself.

Ben felt overjoyed to see everyone there for the wedding party. So many people he helped and knew all these years. He couldn't help but smile.

Of course, he was brought back to reality once he felt a large hand pat him on the back. It was Warlord Gar.

"Aha, Ben my boy. Quite a party you have assembled." The Tetramand ruler shouted happily.

Ben smiled. "Thank you, sir. Your daughter had a huge part of it."

Gar chuckled. "I do not doubt that at all. Looma always dreamed of her wedding and you finally gave it to her."

"I only wish I did it sooner. I feel like such a fool for how I was to her before..." Ben sighed.

"Do not beat yourself up, my boy. That is my daughter's job." Gar joked.

Ben chuckled. "So any update on the tournament?"

Gar sighed. "Unfortunately, no. The other clans are being stubborn because of Looma getting married to you. Says it's not traditional."

"I'm sorry for making things difficult." Ben apologized.

"Don't be sorry, son. It is them who are stuck in the old ways. Perhaps that is why I am Emperor and they are not." He gave a hearty laugh.

Ben chuckled as well.

"But it will be soon. And there, you will prove your worth to rule over Khoros." Gar said.

Ben looked over. "Wait what?"

Gar nodded. "Yes. Since you are marrying the princess, you are now my next heir to be Emperor. The first non-Tetramand ruler. With the tournament, you will prove your skill for the throne."

The hero stood there, too stunned to speak.

"Well, I am off to mingle with others. That Rook Da is an interesting fellow." Gar said as he left Ben.

Ben poured a drink to calm his nerves.

At that moment, a duo came in. It was a Native American man. He wore a brown jacket with a yellow shirt and jeans. He had silver white hair tied into a ponytail.

With him was his granddaughter and Ben's ex, Kai Green. She sighed. "Grandpa, I don't see why we had to come to this event." She crossed her arms.

"Because Max is a very good friend and I wanted to show my support for his grandson." Wes said. "And we were invited."

Max looked and saw Wes standing there. "Wes, it's good to see you." He shook the Native man's hand.

Wes smiled. "It's good to see you too, Max. It's been a while."

"You have no idea." Max chuckled as the two men went off to talk.

Kai looked around and saw Ben at the drink table. She made her way over.

Ben was drinking some punch when Evie ran up to him, very hyperactive-ly "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! I had six cookies, four brownies and four cans of soda!!! Weeeeeeeee!!!" She said in a really hyper tone before she ran off again.

Ben chuckled. It was going to be a rough night to put Evie to bed.

That's when he heard a familiar voice.

"Ben?" Kai said.

He could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he heard her voice. Ben turned around to face her. "Kai…I didn't expect to see you here…"

Kai rubbed her arm. "I almost didn't if Grandpa didn't make me."

"So it wasn't out of your own free will?" Ben asked.

"Not exactly." She replied, her jealousy clearly showing.

Ben nodded. "I see. It's-"

He was cut off as Attea approached him. "Babe, you gotta come see this!! Levin and Rook are having an arm wrestling match and I have 60 Tadens on Rook." She held his arm as he went with her.

Ben looked at Kai. "We will catch up later."

Kai scoffed. "Yeah…I guess we will." She crossed her arms.

It was a fun day for everyone involved.

Later on, the festivities started to settle down as clean up started.

Ben was surrounded by all his ladies and they were all giving him kisses and love. They were thanking him for a wonderful day and how they could not wait to spend the rest of their lives with him.

Kai walked up. "I guess now isn't a good time?" She asked, snotty like.

Ben looked up. "Oh, Kai…I…uh …I mean yeah…thanks again for coming even though you know…"

"Know what?! Know that you broke my heart and now you're marrying not one but EIGHT fucking alien whores?!" She yelled.

Ben stepped forward. "One: don't ever call my future wives whores EVER again! And two, I did not break up with you, you broke up with me!"

"I did no such thing, you are putting words in my mouth!"

Looma stepped forward. "Beloved, it's not worth it…"

Ben looked back at Looma. "Looma, please stay out of this."

Kai laughed and looked over at the girls. Her eyes immediately landed on Julie. "Oh I see why you're marrying them, especially that one… you shoved your big ugly dick into her and knocked her up. Am I right or am I right?"

Julie's eyes widened. "Excuse me?!" Her pregnancy emotions took full charge. "My fiance is not marrying us just because of this…"

"Oh yeah, prove it fatty!" Kai exclaimed, walking up to her, and getting right in her face.

Julie spat in her face and smirked. "You may want to back up…"

Kai scoffed. "Or what?!"

Julie laughed. "You asked for it!" Julie socked Kai right across the face. "Is that a good enough reason for you, bitch!!" She spat on Kai as she was on the ground.

Ester and Helen held Julie back before she went completely psychotic on Kai.

Kai got up, held her jaw and ran away.

Everyone watched this go down. Wes walked up. "Ben, I am so sorry for how she acted. It was out of line and I will handle it."

"It's not your fault, Magister Green. It was her and you should not apologize for her actions." Ben assured him.

Wes nodded and said. "Keep doing the right thing, son. I will be there for your weddings, even if she isn't."

Wes said his goodbyes and left.

Gwen walked up to Julie . "Holy shit, I did not know you had such power."

Julie chuckled. "I took some lessons from old action movies."

"I can tell." The red head said.

Ben rubbed his eyes as he was exhausted. He turned to the girls. "Well…I suppose we should go get some rest. First wedding is tomorrow. Which means you girls gotta go to different rooms." He said sadly.

Hope touched his cheek. "It's only for a few days. After the weddings, it'll be a honeymoon you won't ever forget~." She kissed him.

The other girls kissed him and they left.

Evie was sacked out on the couch, she had a huge Sugar Rush and she was sugar crashed.

Sandra picked up her granddaughter. "Aw, my little bug had too much sugar."

Evie cuddled to her grandma as she slept.

Ben smiled. "Are you sure you can take her?"

"Of course, sweetie. You need your sleep for what's coming." Sandra smiled. "Besides, I'll take any chance to spend time with my granddaughter."

Ben thanked her and went to bed, ready for the day ahead.

Next day…

It was the first day of the weddings. Today, it was all about Julie. Unfortunately, her parents couldn't make it because they had issues come up and felt awful about it.

Luckily, Julie's other in-laws were there.

The day went smoothly.

Ben stood at the altar with Kevin as his best man. Rook, Cooper, Alan and Manny were the groomsmen.

Evie walked down, throwing the flower petals so elegantly. She saw a cute little boy in the crowd and threw some petals directly at his face.

Everyone awed as this happened.

Ship was the ring bearer as he carried the rings.

The bridesmaids came down, which was Gwen, Hope, Helen, Shar, and Attea. They wore beautiful green dresses.

Then came Julie…she looked so beautiful in her wedding gown.

Ben couldn't stop smiling like an idiot.

Kevin nudged him. "Keep that up and your face will get stuck."

Gwen scowled and telepathically smacked Kevin on the back of his head, causing him to rub it. "Ow…"

Julie made it to the altar.

The bride and groom said their vows, exchanged the rings.

They kissed and everyone cheered as the new couple walked down the aisle.

The party was nice. They had their dance, cut the cake and finally made it to their room.

Ben ran Julie a warm bath as he knew she needed it.

Julie got in the tub as Ben rubbed her feet. Her feet were swollen and aching. She was four months pregnant, so her body was very fatigued.

She smiled. "How did I get so lucky to have you as my husband?"

"Well, it took a few tries but…I think we finally got it right." Ben smiled.

After she bathed, he helped her out and got her dried then dressed.

The two lied in their bed, snuggled and watched their favorite movies, cheesy Hallmark movies, before finally falling asleep.

Next morning…

It was time for Ester's wedding. Her people were in the crowd as well as other familiar faces. The wedding line up was the same as yesterday except the bridesmaids wore pinkish purple dresses.

Evie had the flower girl role again and Ship was the ringbearer once again, hopping down the aisle.

But when it was time for Ester to walk down the aisle…she didn't show up. Ben was confused and went to find her after a few minutes.

That's when he heard this horrible noise from the bathroom. He knocked on the door.

The door opened and it was Ester. She looked absolutely miserable. She had tears streaming down her face and her makeup was ruined.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Ben asked.

Ester then hugged Ben tightly as she cried on his shoulder. "I'm so sorry…I ruined today…" She sobbed.

"No, you didn't. This day is still perfect. What's going on?" He asked.

Ester composed herself enough to speak. "I…"

Ben waited, holding her hand.

"I'm pregnant…" She said softly.
