"To the bride and groom!" I raised my glass of orange juice in the air as the audience around me did the same. However, their glasses were filled up with champagne or wine.

"To the bride and groom!" They chorused together and with that, we all raised our glass and drank to my speech I gave to the new Mrs. Penelope Walter.

The speech was pretty lengthy, but sentimental including our childhood memories together of how we would dress up and makeover each other to our high school years together to our heartbreaks and to our happy endings with a new beginning in store for us in the near future.

Wiping a tear from her cheek, Penelope looking gorgeous as ever mouthed, "I love you Shai."

I mouthed back the same words and sat back down in my chair beside my husband who was helping me sit, holding my elbow to guide me.

"That was a beautiful speech babe," Taylor murmured in my ear and kissed me on the cheek.

I smiled at him and placed a kiss on his lips, "Thanks hun. Came right from the heart."

He laughed, "I love that heart of yours."

I rolled my eyes and playfully shoved his arm, "Did I ever tell you you're so corny?"

He winked, "A couple of times but only for you Shai. Only for you."

"So corny," I laughed, looking straight ahead when I suddenly gasped as I spotted a waiter carrying around crab cakes on a tray circulating the area of the reception.

"Babe, get me some of those crab cakes. They look so good right now," I slapped Taylor's arm.

Looking at where my eyes were staring at, he quickly stood up from his seat.

"Sure thing babe, I'll be right back."

Walking to the waiter carrying the crab cakes, I watched as my husband tried to catch the waiter's attention but the waiter was so oblivious to his surroundings that Taylor was turning a bit red from embarrassment. I chuckled under my breath and took my time to look at my best friend giggling at something Terrance was whispering in her ear. They were both so madly in love; you could just see the atmosphere surrounding them.

The wedding was magical. It was all Penelope wanted and with the help of her maid of honor, me of course - it was perfect. After the whole incident with Cassie and Austin, we had to push the wedding a bit back due to Penelope's worrisome nature about my condition and she wanted to make sure I was okay to deal with her bridezilla moments. They weren't pretty by the way.

Along with preparing the wedding, my stomach grew bigger as in I'm now four months pregnant and just recently, Taylor and I found out the gender of our baby. To say there wasn't tears would be a lie and when Taylor found out there would be a mini boy version of him, he literally jumped for joy. Even though he wanted a girl at first, he told me that he didn't care what gender our baby was since we or I could get pregnant again after I give birth to our son. Yeah, that is if I could handle the baby considering we're first time parents.

But I know we'll do just fine.

Speaking of parents, my parents and Taylor's parents were also jumping for joy when they found out their first grandchild would be a boy. You can't imagine their expressions.

As for me, I was bawling my eyes out from seeing my baby on the monitor, hearing his little heartbeat, and finding out the gender. Call hormones or whatever that comes along with the pregnancy, I was so blissful that nothing could ruin that moment.

Austin was also here at the wedding and he also brought along a date or should I say girlfriend who in fact was a nurse that was taking care of him when he was stabbed by Cassie. They started dating after Austin was released from the hospital and of course, Lexie couldn't say no to his charming words and don't forget his undeniable looks. I already met her and in fact, she's the sweetest woman I've ever met, which Penelope and Gary agree with me. Let's just say I can already a see future for them since Austin literally can't take his eyes off her.

Cassie's in her little room in a mental institute all the way in New York. She's across the country and there's no guarantee she'll reach us since we're in California. She would have gone to jail, but anyone could tell she was unstable and crazy. And from what I heard, she isn't responding to her therapist or treatments. All that she still goes on about is Taylor. It is creepy, which is why Taylor doesn't like to talk about it nor do I. We're just glad she's out of our lives.

"Where's lover boy?" Gary asked me as he sat down in Taylor's seat, holding a glass of wine in his hand.

I looked around and almost laughed at Taylor who was trying to fit eight pieces of crab cakes on one tissue.

I pointed towards him, "He's over there."

Gary smiled, "You are so lucky Taylor makes sure you get what you want since you're preggo and shit."

I laughed, "He learned his lesson since my hormones and cravings are all over the place. Taylor makes sure to listen and do everything I tell him to cause there was this one time when I told him I wanted scrambled eggs for breakfast but he was darn to lazy to get up and cook for me that I ended up crying and screaming at him at the same time. Sometimes it is a good thing I'm pregnant."

Gary laughed, "Oh wow, that is classic. Know I know why Taylor was desperately trying to get the waiter's attention earlier."

"Exactly," I said, "and oh! Here are my crab cakes! Yum."

Taylor approached the table and sat in the other empty seat beside me.

"Sorry that took too long," he explained as I began to stuff the delicious crab cakes in my mouth, "the waiter took forever to notice me."

I shrugged and reached over to peck him on the lips, "It's all good. The crab cakes are so good, you want one?"

He shook his head, "No thanks. I'll pass."

"Oh well," I stuffed my mouth, "more for me."

"Looks like Shai only cares about those crab cakes at the moment," Gary chuckled as he drank his wine in one gulp.

"Good for me just as long as she and the baby is happy," Taylor said as he watched me eat with a small smile on his face.

Gary squealed, "Y'all are so cute. I need to find me a man soon."

"Like you need a man," a familiar voice said from behind us, "he's already in front of you but you just can't see it yet."

We turned to see the bride, Penelope smiling down at us.

"Penelope!" I exclaimed, "Want a crab cake?"

She laughed and shook her head, "No thanks Shai, you can have them. I know how greedy you are with your food."

Shrugging again, I bit into another crab cake. Only two more left.

"What do you mean he's right in front of me?" Gary asked as Penelope pulled up a chair making our seating arrangement into a triangle.

Penelope rearranged her beautiful dress and sat down, "I mean that man you want so badly, you already know him."

"And this is my cue to leave," Taylor said as he stood up from his chair. Gary and Penelope laughed at him.

"It's girl talk unfortunately, " he smirked at the two before directing his attention to me, "you okay with me heading over to the guys over there?"

I looked over to where he was pointing to and saw Terrance, Kellan, Rob, and Jackson standing in a circle, laughing together from across the room.

I nodded, "Of course. Go hang with the guys."

"You sure?"

"Positive," I said as I ate my last crab cake, "now go."

"Alright, but call me if you need me okay?"

I saluted him, "Yes sir!"

He chuckled at me and placed a kiss on my forehead before walking to the guys who in turn all yelled out his name and slapped his back as Taylor made it to the group. Typical men.

"Like I said, you are one lucky bitch," Gary flicked my loose hair as he watched the men laugh at something Kellan said.

"Like I said," Penelope sang, "your man is right in front of you!"

"Are you telling me you have a dick and you're the man for me cause you're right in front of me?"

I laughed out loud at Gary as Penelope tried not to laugh too but instead slapped him on his shoulder.

"Excuse me! I am a married woman as of today!" Penelope showed us her dazzling ring on her ring finger.

"Then who the hell are you talking about Penelope? Cause you keep going on and on about my man being in front of me, yet you won't tell me his name."

"Oh!" I piped up, "I know I mentioned this earlier but gorgeous wedding Mrs. Penelope Walters! It honestly brought me to tears."

She squealed and grabbed onto my hand, "I know right? Thank you so much for helping me plan this wedding and being my maid of honor. Honestly, your speech made me tear up and I couldn't ask for anything else. And oh my gosh, you look so beautiful too in that dress. Really, it didn't make you look that pregnant."

"No problem girl, you know I'll always be here. I didn't look that pregnant? Cause I thought I did but then Taylor said that-"

"Hello! Am I like a fucking wall or something? I'm still here and for anyone's information here, no one answered my question! Who is this man you all tell me that-" Gary raised both of his hands up in the air.

"It's Kellan!" Penelope and I both said in lower voices at the same time.

Gary froze for a second.

Then he laughed.

"Oh holy mother of pearl!" He slapped his knee, "Y'all are joking right? Kellan? Are you serious? He is straight as any dick can go."

Penelope and I looked at each other before looking at him with a serious expression.

When we didn't say anything to him, Gary gasped and turned to look at the group of men. Very slyly, Kellan quickly averted his eyes from us to a different direction.

Gary snapped his head back at us with wide eyes, "Please tell me you're joking!"

Penelope laughed, "Why would we? I'm telling you the truth."

I nodded, "Gary. Kellan is gay."

"How?"

I raised an eyebrow up at him, "Uh because he likes guys and that's his sexuality."

Gary rolled his eyes at me, "I know that! But how do you know he's gay?"

"Because Kellan confessed to the guys that he was gay three weeks ago. He told the guys first then me, Shai, and the girls. He only came out of the closet because he felt like whomever he shall be, he shouldn't have to hide his true self. So now he's free from hiding from his friends," Penelope explained.

"B-but," Gary stuttered, "what about those times when he would be flirting with those girls?"

"It's just a cover up," I answered, "I mean he's an actor with a great body."

"Then how come the public doesn't know yet? I didn't even know about it until now."

"Oh they'll know soon. He just wants to do something first," Penelope said as she gave me a knowing smile.

I smiled back and Gary noticed the exchange between the two of us.

"Hey," he snapped his fingers at us, "what is that smile? Both of you are hiding something, what is it?"

Penelope giggled, "That something Kellan wants to do is to..."

"...make an announcement and tell you something," I completed the sentence.

"What?" Gary asked, "How? When? Where?"

Penelope and I laughed together.

"Seriously guys, what is going on?" Gary exclaimed.

"Oh you'll see in five..." Penelope laughed and winked at me.

Smiling and winking back at her, "In four..."

Looking back and forth between us, Gary tried to catch our attention, "Hey! Why are you two counting down? This isn't New Years!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!" Penelope and I said together as we high five each other, erupting in laughter.

"May I have your attention please?" A voice said from the stage where the music stopped playing and people on the dance floor looked up at Kellan who was looking at us.

"Oh my honeybees," Gary mumbled as he numbly watched Kellan on the stage.

Kellan cleared his throat before grabbing the microphone off the stand and jumped off the stage, making his way towards Gary.

"Gary," Kellan began as Gary's mouth hung open a bit from shock, "I'm just going to get straight to the point and say this to you."

There was silence everywhere with knowing smiles on Taylor, Terrance, Rob, Jackson, Nikki, Ashley, and Kristin's face. Even the other guests could tell that something romantic was about to happen.

"I'm in love with you Gary," Kellan pronounced, "I've been in love with you ever since the day I met you. Before meeting you, I thought that I wouldn't be able to find someone like you. Someone who's not afraid to show who they truly are and someone who knows how to have fun. Getting to know you, I learned from you that I can be who I am no matter what people may think or say. You taught me that with your careless personality. Every moment spent with you, I couldn't help but think about you. You're all that's in my mind and all I want in my life. You probably thought I was straight but I was just hiding and now that I'm here telling about one hundred people who I really am, I don't care. All I care about is you. So what do you say?"

Without hesitation, Gary leaped up in his seat and planted a kiss on Kellan's lips. Make out session central over here.

Everyone erupted in clapping at the romantic scene. The guys whistled and the ladies said "aw." As for me, I was bawling my eyes out.

Damn hormones.

Immediately, Taylor ran to my side.

"Babe," he looked worried, "are you okay? What happened?"

"Oh my gosh," Penelope noticed my tears, "Shai what's wrong?"

Breaking from their sweet kiss, the new couple turned to look at me.

"Shai, what's wrong? Why the tears?" Gary asked as he intertwined his fingers with Kellan.

"I-It's," I stuttered from my tears, "It's just so sweet!"

I pointed towards Gary and Kellan, "You two are so dang adorable! Kellan's speech was truly corny but heck, it was so cute!"

Gary, Kellan, and Penelope laughed as Taylor sighed and chuckled, "Oh Shai, what am I going to do with you?"

"You're going to be a good husband and get me some napkins," I said to him.

And there goes my bossy hormones.

"O-okay, I'll be right back."

With that Taylor walked away to get some napkins as Terrance laughed at him. Taylor grabbed him by his collar and pulled Terrance along with him, asking where the extra napkins were.

"You are going to be one scary Mom," Penelope laughed as she wiped away my tears with her fingers.

I nodded, "Hell yeah. This baby of mine needs some strict parenting since he's going to get his good looks from his dad and sweet personality from me."

Penelope looked doubtful, "Uh huh..."

"Hey," I said, "what's that look for?"

"Nothing!" She sang and then turned her direction to Gary and Kellan who were sweetly talking to each other, trying to avoid my glare at her.

"Congrats you guys!" Penelope exclaimed.

Kellan laughed and looked at the both of us, "Thanks. Wouldn't have done without you two."

"No problem!" I said, "We're just glad the both of you are finally together!"

Gary wrapped his arms around Kellan's neck, "Took this hunky man long enough. I've been waiting for such a long time."

"Oh really?" Kellan smirked.

Gary giggled and kissed his cheek, "Really."

"Okay!" Penelope clapped her hands together and looked at me since the new couple were deeply engrossed with each other, "Let's go dance! Come on, I need to dance with my best friend and leave them to their own world."

She pulled me up from my seat as I tried to struggle out of her grasp.

"Pregnant woman here Penelope, I can't dance!"

She laughed as we stood on the dance floor. Thank goodness there weren't that much people around us dancing. Just some of our friends dancing together. Austin and Lexie were also in their own world while Jackson and Ashley were both trying to out dance each other. I muffled my laughter and turned my attention back to the bride.

"Yes you can!" She smiled, "Just don't dance like you're in a club though."

"No shit. I can't dance like you and your professional club moves."

"Professional club moves?" She raised an eyebrow at me with an amused expression.

I nodded and tapped my ballet flats to the music, "Yeah. You know how you dance, don't make me try to explain it to you!"

Penelope laughed and shook her head at me, "I will never understand you."

"Nope!" I smiled at her, "Can't wait till you get pregnant and see how I feel right now."

She winked at me, "Oh don't worry. You won't have to wait that long! Terrance and I are going to get-"

I quickly covered my ears, "Don't want to know that information! Don't finish that sentence! You talk to me in perverted ways."

She laughed and hugged me, "Okay I won't. But I love you Shai!"

I rolled my eyes at her and laughed, "I love you too Penelope."

We both pulled away from our embrace as Terrance approached his wife from behind.

"Hey Mrs. Walters," he kissed her on the cheek, "can I take you away for a moment?"

Penelope looked at me through her blushing red cheeks.

I smiled at the both of them, "Go right ahead, where's Taylor?"

"Thanks Shai! Um, I don't know exactly. I ditched him while he kept asking me where the tissues were," Terrance laughed as he pulled away a giggling Penelope to someplace in the dance floor. Probably going to get freaky.

I smiled at the two of them and I was about to turn around to head back to the table when two strong arms wrapped around my waist and rubbed my belly.

Knowing exactly who it was, I looked up to see a smiling Taylor looking down at me.

"Hey beautiful."

And the butterflies will always be there.

I turned to face him, "Hey handsome. Where have you been? Been looking for you."

"Getting you some napkins but I couldn't find some so instead I'll just use these to wipe away your tears," Taylor said.

I raised an eyebrow, "Use what?"

"This," he murmured as he began to kiss my forehead.

I laughed, "Taylor! That's weird!"

He only chuckled in response.

I closed my eyes as he placed a kiss on each of my eyes. I then wrapped my arms around his neck to bring him closer towards me.

He began place kisses under my eyes, my cheeks, my nose, and finally to my awaiting lips.

And with each kiss, there were butterflies fluttering around in my stomach. Or maybe that was our baby moving around, signaling a response to his dad's touch. Whatever it was, it was all out of love and to be honest, I could never get tired of that feeling.

"I love you," he murmured as he placed another kiss on my lips.

I opened my eyes to see him staring down at me, "And I love you too."
