Sally shifted on the hard dirt ground that she was currently seated upon. Settling back into as comfortable a position as she could hope for in the ditch she looked at her mud covered hands and let out a low growl.

Her newly manicured nails were chipped and one of them had been torn clean off.

Normally she would never have bothered getting her nails done, not with the type of job she had. A job blowing up things and beating up bad guys and bandaging up the wounded was not the type of job were manicured nails were important.

But two days ago she had gone and paid good money to get her nails done. For her wedding.

Which had been just a few hours ago, the wedding she and her new husband had rushed out of so quickly that she had torn her beautiful white satin gown.

Not that her gown really mattered after all it wasn't like her groom had even noticed it.She wasn't even sure if Wu fei would have noticed if she had walked down the aisle naked.

No,that wasn't true at all. Wu fei would have defiantly noticed if she had walked down the aisle naked. His sense of decency would have been so outraged by it he probably would have left her at the altar .

Of course the fact that he hadn't left her at the altar was still amazing to her that and the sight of the simple gold band on her finger.

The remembrance of his strong and sure voice pledging to love and honor her as long as they both should live filled her body with a sense of wonder and joy unlike any she had ever felt before.

And to think that just a few short months ago she had still been dead positive that he would never feel the same way about her as she did about him.

His distaste for women had been one of the leading causes in this feeling of certainty along with her own inability to tell him about her feelings for him.

So she had quickly become resigned to having her feelings for him being of the unrequited sort.

That was until a month ago when he asked her out on a date.

At the time she had assumed he was making a poor attempt at a joke, they had been in a rather tight spot at the time and she had been feeling less than optimistic about their chances of making it out alive.

Turned out he had been serious about wanting to go on a date with her. She had realized this when he had failed to joined in with her when she had begun laughing in reply to his question.

He didn't speak to her for two days after that. Much to her joy when he finally did speak to her again it was to repeat his original question.That time she had said yes without a moments hesitation.

Two weeks later he had asked her to marry him. It had not been in the least bit romantic, all he had said was, " Woman, will you marry me?"

She had said yes to that question as well.

Noin had been rather amazed that she had said yes, especially when she found out he still hadn't told her that he loved her and that he hadn't even said her name when he had asked for her hand!

Sally hadn't been able to hold in her laughter at these comments. After all Noin had never been able to understand her attraction to Wu fei much less her affection for him. So it really didn't surprise her to find out that Noin also didn't understand why she didn't need him to call her by her name or tell her that he loved her.

The sound of gun fire brought her mind out of her memories and back into the present. A present that included the sight of her husband running towards her in search of cover from enemy fire.

Raising on one knee she gave him some cover fire as he took a running dive into the ditch beside her.

Giving her a quick once over with his sharp black eyes he let out a small sigh of relief at the sight of her muddy but unharmed body.

The sound of this sigh and the look in those dark eyes brought a smirk to Sally's face. And a teasing tone to her voice. " Ah, is my hubby worried about me?"

Wu fei raised an eyebrow at this sassy remark and just as she was gearing herself up in preparation for a searing remark he leaned forward and caught her lips with his.

Sally's eyes closed and with a happy sigh she returned his kiss with such vigor that they both stopped paying any attention to what was going on around them. Including the sound of allie helicopters landing and allie troops arresting the terrorists.

As they broke free of the kiss Sally smiled happily into her husband's eyes and with a faint and rare blush covering her cheeks she said, " I love you, Wu fei."

Not expecting him to give a vocal answer in reply to this statement, she leaned forward to once again catch his lips with her's when his raspy with emotion voice reached her ears.

" I love you too, Sally."

It was another hour before they got out of that ditch and that was only to tell Lady Une not to call them for any more cases at least not for another two weeks.
