Amy spent the rest of the year thinking about it and in early winter she decided that she wanted to get married. Shadow purposed to her on Christmas and they decided to have the wedding in the spring. It wouldn't take very long to prepare for the wedding because neither Amy or Shadow wanted anything too elaborate.

During all of this Amy still remembered Sonic and their marriage. Whenever she went to pick up her dress (which was off white with no veil as this was her second wedding.) she felt a little guilty but then she remembered how happy and excited she was about marrying Shadow and she knew Sonic would want that for her.

One day Shadow and Amy went to the mall to look for centerpieces and other things when they passed a woman with a fussy crying baby.

"How annoying." Shadow muttered

"Shadow its just a baby it doesn't know any better."

"I don't like kids." he whispered

This troubled Amy a bit. She didn't mind kids and she had thought about having her own someday back when she was married to Sonic. They didn't talk about it much because they were just recently married but she thought about it sometimes. She didn't really think about having kids with Shadow though so she figured it wasn't that important to her. She didn't need to have kids to be happy she just wanted to be with him.

"Where did you say the party store was?" Shadow asked looking at his store directory pamphlet. He didn't go to malls much so he had no idea where he was going.

"Just keep going straight ahead." She knew the place so well she didn't even need a map. They headed to the store and picked out their centerpieces then went out for a romantic dinner.

"Hey Shadow I've been thinking how about after we get married and you move in we could redecorate the house." Amy suggested. Shadow was currently living in an apartment and would move into Amy's house after they got married. Amy wanted to redecorate her house not only because it would be fun but she also wanted to get rid of some of the memories of her and Sonic. She didn't want to forget him completely but she wanted a fresh start.

"Sure we could do that." Shadow replied He didn't really care either way but Amy was apparently excited about it so he would be more than willing to redecorate with her.

Amy got right to work on it the next day asking Shadow if he could come with her to the hardware store to pick out some paints.

"Amy...It there a reason why you want to redecorate your house all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing really." Amy replied she didn't want Shadow to think that she didn't want to be with him or something because she really did. She just wanted a change. It would just feel so strange to her if everything looked the same as it did whenever she was married to Sonic.

"Are you sure?" Shadow was pretty sure there was something else to it. "If there's something bothering you we can talk about it."

Amy thought about snapping back with a "No there's nothing wrong okay!" but she decided to just tell him everything. He would understand.

"Have you ever thought about moving?" he asked

"I've thought about it but that house was a gift I don't want to sell it."

"Are you sure that you will be comfortable living there?"

"Yes I'm sure. I just want to redecorate it a bit. To make it feel a little different that's all."

"Alright then if you are truly sure. I just want you to be happy."

"Thanks Shadow that really means a lot."

They spent the next couple of months painting and redecorating. In the end the house looked beautiful.

"It perfect for us." Amy sighed kissing Shadow on the cheek after so much doubt and tears she was so excited to start her new life...
