Basic bonus chapter (:

*Alexs POV*

My mom tucks in my tie for me and looks at me with teary eyes.

"Stop, you'll make me cry." I chuckle.

"You're so old now." She gives me a sad laugh.

"I'm just getting married." I roll my eyes.

"Old!" She practically yells at me.

"Okay okay. I need to get out there though. Evelyn will be bringing Ethan down the aisle in like five minutes." I kiss her on the cheek.

I go out and stand on the little "stage" area, in front of everyone.

We asked everyone to remain seated when Ethan comes out. It's just the idea of people maybe having purses and stuff, it being slightly packed, and it might be annoying. We didn't mind breaking that tradition.

Of course I have Matthew and Isabella up here with me. Ethan and I decided Juliette will be the flower girl, which she loved. And Nadine offered to be the ring bearer. Which leaves one friend left even though he never really talks to us, Isaac. Isaac and Astor are going to stand with Ethan.

The doors open and people start coming out. But not the normal walking. People were dancing a bit to the music.

If we're being honest, I don't pay much attention.

I could see the white behind everyone. I knew it was Ethan.

Eventually it was his chance and he came out. He looked so good in his white tux.

He came dancing down to me, his mom in hand.

When they reached me, she kissed his cheek and handed him off to me.

I smile at him as we stand in front of everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends, we are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the joining of Alexander Pierce and Ethan Ezell in marriage. With love and commitment, they have decided to live their lives together as husband and husband." The man starts.

I look at Ethan, about to cry.

"They've had a bumpy path. Lots of mishaps. But in the end they have found each other and are ready to become one." He pauses. "Rings?"

Nadine comes up with the rings and holds them out to us. I take the one I will put on his finger and Ethan takes the one he will put on mine.

The man nods to me.

"Ethan, we've come so far-" I chuckle. "-We met in a horrible way, and I deeply apologise you had to go through that. But I knew I couldn't be mean to you in anyway. And as I started developing feelings for you, I was so scared. I was sure I wasn't gay. The first time we kissed, it was amazing and god did I crave more. Cuddling. Movie "dates". When you first moved into the apartment. All wonderful memories we had made and I'd relive them every second of my life. Knowing I get to spend the rest of my life with you makes me unbelievably happy, and I look forward to it. For our home and family to grow. For us to be old together. I'll be the grumpiest old man but you'll always be sarcastic and telling me to cut my crap. I absolutely adore you." I whisper the last sentence as I put the ring on his finger.

He's all teary eyed.

"Alex, I-" He sniffles. "I was traumatized. Having to go through what I did. And when I met you I was scared. I was so scared. But you didn't hurt me, once. And I thought it was odd. You treated me as a friend, with strict rules. You got to know me. Astor came into my room and we went downstairs and made a whole fort. We made unforgettable memories. And people always say, if they could go back in time and change the past, that they would. But I wouldn't change a thing. Yes, I've been through pain. But you are always here for me. You always have been. And I am so excited to spend my life with you. In sickness and in health, you are my love." He smiles at me, crying now, as he puts the ring on my finger.

"So, do you, Alexander, take Ethan to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do." I say through tears.

"And do you, Ethan, take Alexander to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do." He smiles.

"Anyone object or any of that nonsense." The minister waves off.

The room remains quiet.

"Today, Alex and Ethan honored you with their invitation to be present with them today for this ceremony. And so, this day, they declare before all of us that they shall live together in marriage. In the traditional way, they entered into their marriage with the joining of hands, the making of vows and promises, and the giving and receiving of rings, an outward symbol of their voluntary commitment to one another. Therefore, it is my pleasure, that I now pronounce them husband and husband. You may now kiss your groom!"

I pull Ethan in by his waist. We both smile at each other briefly before locking lips.

Everyone around us cheers and claps. People standing up and smiling at us. Photos being taken.

Overall I'm the happiest I possibly can be.

"To some dancing!" Ethan yells.

We all exit one room and walk into another, this one intended for dancing.

We aren't doing our first dance until after dinner. Which will be soon. We just want a couple of songs to loosen up. Then eat and drink. Toasts. Talking for a while. And then more dancing.

I dance around with my friends and family, eventually unbuttoning the blazer.

So much laughter and smiles fill the room. It's like no day could possibly be better than this. Never.

We listen to some "old music" like the Big Time Rush theme song but some new music like Roxanne, of course.

But after another song or two we lead people into the dining area, name tags telling everyone where to sit.

Of course we put my mother, Evelyn, Juliette, Astor, Nadine, Matthew, Isabella and Isaac at our table. Everyone else is just grouped together with their dates randomly.

We did a buffet style because its obviously the easiest so Ethan and I get up to go get our food.

"Everything is turning out good so far." I smile as I put food on my plate.

"Oh god you're going to jinx us." Ethan laughs.

Music to my ears.

"If anything goes wrong, we can wing it." I nudge him lightly before I sit down.

We all begin eating and talking, discussing odd and end things. The ceremony. The future. What's happening after food.

A lot of people seem to ask when we're cutting the cake.

We hear clinking of a glass and we all go silent.

"I'd like to make a speech." Matthew speaks up.

"I've known Alex and Ethan for a short while. Nadine actually introduced me to Alex. And from the second I met him, he wouldn't shut up about Ethan." He chuckles.

So do others.

"I'm serious though. He has adored Ethan, through everything. He would have done anything for Ethan, even if it meant dying. Alex is an amazing person. Ethan I've known for an even shorter time, but he also became a close friend of mine. You, my friend, are extremely sarcastic. But the way you look at Alex, is the way anyone looks at food when they're starving. And I mean that in the least sexual way possible." He laughs some more.

I smile at him.

"To two amazing people who are madly in love with one another, and to an amazing future." Matthew raises his glass and takes a drink.

"I can't drink what you guys are but I wanna talk to." Juliette stands up.

Oh god.

"Obviously I hated you for a little while, Alex. But the day you called my mother so we could see Ethan, I knew you were a good guy. I thought it might be a dream. But you guys showed up. You watched him from a far. You let him talk with us privately. You didn't stand around. But you did watch him. It creeped me out, at the time. But now I know, it was love. He kept visiting. You kept visiting as well. You stayed in contact. When Ethan moved away you sincerely apologised to us over and over again, though we knew it wasn't your fault. You really love my brother. E, you deserve this. And lets be honest, no one liked August." She smiles and raises her class of soda.

"I've got a quick one." My mom stands up.

I'm scared again.

"You brought a boy home and you gave me the stupid excuse of 'he's here for homework' though I knew instantly that wasn't the case. Your father didn't pick up on any of this. I knew something was going on. Then you made sure he could stay in the bedroom and went through getting him clothes, a phone and all the extras. I knew instantly what had happened. I wanted the best for Ethan, and I knew you would give him the best. Ethan, you made my son such a good person. You brought out the light in him that he had lost as a child. You've made him happier. I've never seen my boy smile so much. And I appreciate that greatly. Welcome to the family." She holds up her glass and takes a sip.

Everyone claps and then goes silent.

"Is that all?" I ask.

Silence.

"Alright lets dance!" We say together.

Everyone walks out and because we're supposed to do our first dance, we come in last.

"Time for the newly weds to have their first dance." The man says over the speaker.

They play Speechless by Dan + Shay, a song chosen by the both of us.

I put my hands on his waist and pull him close while he wraps his arms around my neck.

"We're married." Ethan whispers.

"Indeed we are. To think we've come this far." I speak quietly.

"I'm so happy, honestly." He looks at me, smiling.

"I am too." I smile back.

He remains silent and I just enjoy that for a few moments.

I focus on the lyrics for a little bit as we just sway and move around.

"So I was thinking." I say, near the end of the song.

"Hm?" Ethan looks at me.

"What if we adopted.. like a baby." I ask.

"A baby? Like a real one?" He looks at me, confused.

"Yeah?"

"And we'd raise it?" He asks.

"Yeah?"

"Together?"

"Yeah?"

"Yes." He says.

"Yes? As in yes you want to?" I look at him excited.

"Yes I want to."

The song finished but I pick him up and kiss him. Not rough but not gentle.

We're married.

We're going to raise a child.

We got our happily ever after.
