The girls stood in the single room, only a door separating them from the sanctuary in which they'd be wed.
"Our future is basically right behind that door...." Faith muttered. Hannah gulped, fiddling with the tips of her hair. April lightly smacked her hand. "Stop it! It took me hours to get you girls ready! Don't go messing it up!" She demanded.

Hannah let go of her hair instantly. "Alright. Just remember, deep breaths and we'll all be fine." Olivia said encouragingly. "I don't have anymore breaths to take." Scar stated. Casey poked his head in through the back door. "The girls are up, Red." He announced. April nodded and each handed the girls a bouquet of flowers: Blue lilies for Olivia, red roses for Scar, purple violets for Hannah, and orange daisies for Faith.

"Good luck." She muttered, opening the doors to the sanctuary. All eyes turned to the girls and time seemed to slow down. The music began to play and the guys turned around, eyes widening at the sight of their brides. With the beat of the song Here comes the bride, the girls gracefully made their way down the aisle.

As they neared the altar, everything else seemed to melt away. There was no one else in the room except for the girls and the guys. Their hearts warmed as the girls made it to the altar and the guys took their hands. They shared a tender look full of love and compassion before turning to Splinter. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the special bond between these very deserving mutants." He smiled at them and they smiled back. "Their love has brought them through the hardest trials life could ever offer and that is a bond few people posses."

He looked down at them and nodded. Sweet vows were exchanhed, and awes echoed through the church, making the couple blush.

Once all was finished, a small mutant lizard girl with big blue eyes came up with the rings. She grinned before holding up the pillow that held them. Donnie had to make the guys rings specially so they felt a little awkward in the girls hands, but they managed. "Now, by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you Husband and wife. You may-" Splinter didn't even get to finish his sentence. They already knew what to do.

The guys lifted the veil of of the girls faces and smiled. Leo placed his hands on either side of Olivia's face, gently pressing his lips to hers. She blushed and placed her hand on his cheeks too, kissing right back. Raph smirked before wrapping his arms around Scar's waist and smashing his lips upon hers. She smiled a little. My Raphie she thought. Donnie, being taller than Hannah and having a knack for flaunting it, decided that he would pick her up and kiss her. She giggled uncontrollably. Mikey did the first thing he thought of: Pick faith up bridal style and spin her around mid kiss. Faith gripped his suit tightly on an attempt to hang onto him. He grinned between kisses and Faith did too.

The entire room erupted in cheers, the loudest being April's. The girls and the guys laughed a little. "LET'S ENJOY THE FESTIVITIES!" Hannah yelled. Suddenly the song I Need Your Love by Calvin Harris and Ellie Golding began to play. The four newly married couples were the first on the dance floor, spinning, leaping, twirling, and just looking all around graceful. Soon, everyone else joined in on the festivities and the room was full of life. Splinter smiled. His family was growing bigger. One by one, it was expanding.

And he loved it.
