Author's Note: Well, about to settle down in college, and starting to try to wrap this story up...a little more, and it just may be finished!

Well, we'll see eventually!

Anyway, here's chapter 14!

Silver's POV

The honeymoon went by a little quicker than I thought it would. One night, Shadow and I were in the bedroom having...well, sex...then the next night, we were packing our belongings into our suitcases.

Shadow was having a little difficulty putting his clothes into his own suitcase as he asked me, "Ready to go home, Silv?"

I shook my head, "Nah...I want to stay for at least a few more days...hey babe, need some help?"

With a defeated sigh, Shadow nodded. I smiled and grabbed a few pairs of pants and shirts, and began to fold them neatly.

Shadow hugged me, kissing my ear, "What would I do without you?"

I giggled, "What about you? Are you ready?"

He shrugged, "I don't know...but to be honest, I just want to settle down with you. Then, I'll be happy."

I turned to him and kissed him, "I think you told me that before..."

"I probably did..."

I finished folding his clothes, then zipped up his suitcase for him. He kissed me again as a sign of thanks, and opened the door for me. I stepped out with our suitcases, remembering to take the card keys. I took one last look into our room...our kind of "special" room for our honeymoon...and breathed out a sigh.

I sure am going to miss this place...

Shadow walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. We both went to the front desk on the first floor, turning in our keys to the receptionist. She grinned, typed something up on the computer, then told us we were all set to leave. We thanked her, then went outside to get in the limo that was waiting for us.

It took awhile to get back to Shadow's apartment. We decided to stay there until we had enough money to buy our own house.

Shadow unlocked the door of the apartment, allowing me to go in first. I kissed his cheek lightly as I went inside, Shadow following me close behind.

We unpacked everything and organized our wedding presents, most of which weren't opened yet...

We sat down on the couch in the den with the presents, Shadow trying to pick out one to open first.

I pointed to a small one on the coffee table, "Let's open that one, babe."

He nodded and placed it on his lap. He opened the card and read it aloud, "To the best friends in the world...We're so proud of you both, and we hope you share each other happiness for the rest of your lives. We wish you the best, Sonic and Amy."

I leaned into his shoulder, "Aw, they're so sweet...let's open it!" I grabbed a corner of the box and tore the paper off. Shadow helped me open the box, only to find more paper stuffed inside.

I raised an eyebrow, "Huh?"

Shadow took out most of it, "It must be fragile...with all these papers...oh, wow."

I gasped at the sight. It was a tall, crystal vase with a design of a heart on the side, with two doves on each side holding the ends of a ribbon. On it, it read "Just Married".

Shadow carefully took it out, examining it in the light as I spoke up, "Oh my God, it's beautiful...! I can't believe they bought this for us!"

Shadow nodded, "Hmm...from Faker nonetheless." We both laughed; Sonic was quite a cheapskate when it came to buying presents, but we didn't think he'd buy something like this...

We opened up the rest of the presents, which included several checks, some expensive dishes and antiques, and some other nice things from everyone else. Afterwards, we decided to turn in for the night.

I walked into the bedroom with my pajamas on, hearing a stringed instrument being played. I peeked into the room, seeing my husband tuning his guitar. He was only wearing a pair of long sweatpants that read G.U.N. on one of the legs, and his guitar was laying across his lap as he sat on the edge of the bed. After tuning, he played a few chords to make sure everything was in order. He suddenly lifted his head, noticing me standing in the doorway.

He smiled gently, "Hey, cutie."

I waved at him, "Uh, hi Shads."

He placed his hand onto the bed, "Sit right here. I've got a little present for you."

"Oh...okay." I sat down on the bed, crossing my legs so I could be more comfortable.

Shadow positioned himself as he spoke, "This's a song I composed awhile ago. I thought you could be the first to hear it."

I scooted closer to him, "I'd love to!"

He smiled again, striking the first chord, "This song is dedicated to my baby, my true love...Silv, this's for you."

He then began to play his guitar, his hand runing across the strings so smoothly each time. I began to sway back and forth, greatly enjoying this moment with him. I then began to hum along, which kind of caught Shadow by surprise for a moment. But, he just laughed and continued playing as I decided to make up some lyrics of my own.

After a few minutes, I stopped singing and let Shadow continue playing. He struck a few more cords, then slowly played the last one. He then looked at me, grinning as I leaned in close.

I giggled and kissed him on the lips, "Aw, that was beautiful! Thank you, Shads!"

He chuckled as he set his guitar down, "You're welcome, cutie. That was just one way of telling you how much I love you..."

I wrapped my arms around him, ""Oh? What're the other ways, then?"

Shadow allowed himself to twirl his fingers in my white mane, "You'll find out..."

He gave me a deep kiss, caressing my body with gentle hands. My heart began to race as I realized what his implication meant...

After awhile of intimacy between us, we decided to turn in for the night. I laid in Shadow's queen-sized bed, just about ready to go to sleep, until I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. Shadow sighed deeply as he snuggled into my backside.

He kissed my cheek and whispered, "I love you."

I smiled and answered, "I love you, too..."

I closed my eyes, but opened them again as a thought struck me.

"Hey, Shadow?"

"What is it, babe?"

I felt myself blush as I answered his question.

"Um, please don't freak out about this, but...what if I told you...I wanted to have kids?"

"Eh?"

Oooooohhhh! Okay, more action will continue eventually...but I've been busy with college. It's great so far, and I really can't wait to get this done and continue on...

Stay tuned for more soon!
