Alice and Shun both took deep breaths, their hands grasping each other's firmly. They stood, side-by-side, in fancy clothing, as the preacher began to recite.

"...And do you, Shun Kazami, swear to love, protect and provide for Alice Gehabich until death does thy apart?" the preacher's words rang in their ears.

Alice held her breath, thinking that Shun would probably bolt at any minute. 'His personality is not like this, this is so cheesy - ACK! No! Shut up! Stop worrying, or you'll jinx it! Think good thoughts...' And she thought about living together with him, Daisy gone from her thoughts-...

"Yes," Alice heard him say.

"And do you, Alice Gehabich, promise to love and stand by your husband at all times until death does thy apart?"

Her legs felt as if they were going to break, but she found herself saying, "I do."

"As God is our witness, you are now man and wife. May you have a happy life together."

Alice's breath hitched up inside her throat. Her lips felt dry and then his lips were on hers.

Shun smiled at her and she smiled back at him.

"Did I ever tell you how beautiful you looked?" he asked quietly as they broke apart, his face playful but his eyes serious.

Alice smiled again. "Thank you."

Alice indeed was very beautiful in her wedding gown. Her shoulders were scandalously bare, but only a little, and it had small strings of lace, crocheted by hand, and some silk. It wasn't too much an expensive dress but to her it was beautiful. And she had bought it with her own money.

"...Forever and always," Shun was saying.

"Hm?" she asked, confused.

"I will love you forever and always care for you," he promised.

"Forever and always," Alice agreed, and Shun stole another kiss. The preacher simply looked on, somewhat smiling.

Now they were married.

"Welcome to your new home Miss Shun Kazami," Shun teased, opening the cottage door. It wasn't much; Shun had insisted that they simply did not need another big estate in Normandy, so George reluctantly gave Shun this cottage. It was nice and tidy, and smelt of straw and home.

"Miss Shun Kazami," Alice tested herself, and,the words felt strange but warm inside her mouth.

"It suits you."

"Very much, yes, I like it."

"Well, this will be our home. It's not much, but..." Shun fumbled for words.

"...But it's perfect and it's home for me. Both of us," Alice finished for him.

"What, really?"

"If we had a big home, it would fill empty...So we'd need some maids and manservants to fill it up. But then, I don't like ordering people around, and neither do you, so...," she explained.

"Yes, I suppose it would feel very empty with us two living here unless we were to have children," Shun said, almost sadly.

"D-do you want children?"she asked.

"Yes, I do, and I want them to be beautiful just like their mother-"

"-and strong, brave and handsome as their father."

He kissed her cheek.

"SHUN!" Alice called before leaning over the bathroom chamber pot, spilling her stomach's contents.

"I'm coming, Alice!" she heard him yell and soon she felt him pull her hair away from her face as she vomited into the pot. He began to rub her back in soothing circles.

"My dear Lord, that was awful," Alice said, after she was finished. The contents of her stomach sloshed around the pot, and a sickly smell engulfed the bathroom. "Ugh. I'll throw the muck out."

"I'll go get you some tea," Shun offered, and disappeared down the stairs.

"Yes, please. Shun?" Alice added, getting up and going to pump water for her face and hands.

"Yes?"

"Do we have any strawberries?"

Shun frowned for a moment, and then nodded. "Yes, we do, but why?"

"Oh, I just got hungry." Alice tried on a nonchalant smile, but inside her heart was thumping. Having a craving for strawberries every morning was not good. Sometimes she wondered if she truly was possessed by the devil. But then, why would the devil like strawberries? 'No,' Alice agreed with herself, 'the devil will prefer tongues of flame, rather than such a sweet, innocent fruit.'

"I see," Shun said, breaking her out of her thoughts. "I'll go get you some tea, go sit and have a restful day. I'll do all of the cleaning today." It only took him a little while, but he adjusted to the pattern of Alice's life. Since they didn't have any manservants or maids, they did all the work themselves, and Shun had learned to carve wood when he was a child so he worked as a carpenter, carving intricate designs on wood. Since a pine forest grew to the back of the cottage, he had a plentiful supply of wood.

"But," Alice was cut off by Shun's hand. He took her to the living room and sat her down.

"No, Alice. This is beginning to worry me. You've been sick every morning and I don't know what's wrong with you, so just rest. Alright?" He left his protesting wife sitting in the living room's chair.

Alice looked down on her stomach.

'What could it be?' she asked herself, wondering. Her eyes widened. 'C-could there be something growing inside of me? A baby? Shun's child?' then she remembered something from a month ago that made her blush. 'Our first night as husband and wife.' Her face reddened but remembered the pleasure of that night. She never wanted it to stop, never wanted it to end, even though it was painful. 'Is this the true meaning of being possessed by love?' Alice thought. 'It isn't a bad feeling.'

"Alice, your tea is..." Shun stopped short, looking at Alice's tomato red face. He set down the hot tea on the little wooden table. "Is something the matter?"

"Huh? Oh, um, nothing's wrong. I'm perfectly fine," Alice assured Shun as she picked the tea up and brought it up to her lips.

"Alice?" She was hiding something and he intended to find out.

"What a beautiful day outside, isn't it?" Alice asked, hoping to change the subject as she sipped the tea. It was fragrant and tasted faintly of honey, just the way she'd taught him to make it.

"Alice," he repeated, his voice more form.

"I...Remember our first night together?" she asked, finally giving in.

"Yes I do; what about it?" he asked calmly but his heart was far from calm. That was probably the best time of his life. He wished he could do it again, but...Alice having these feelings...could it...?

"Well...I've been having cravings, and I've gotten a bit bigger if you haven't noticed...and, well, I think..." Her voice trailed off, and Alice refused to look at him.

"You're pregnant, aren't you?" Shun asked.

"I think so. I'm not too sure but I have been sick in the mornings and I was late this month." She became very quiet after that.

"Oh, Alice!" He looked at her, looking very serious.

Alice trembled thinking he would be angry at her. 'I thought he wanted kids. Besides, he was the one who did it, I can't do it unless I'm parthenogenetic...'

"I'm sorry," she said, looking down.

"Sorry, whatever for?" Shun's face broke out into a grin. "A BABY OF OUR OWN!" he said, his voice of pure happiness and joy. He picked her up and hugged her close. "Don't worry, I'll take care of you and your baby." He touched her belly. It barely showed a bump, but it was palely visible. "Whatever should we name it?"
