Jeff awoke just before as the sun rose. He opened his hi sand looked first at the slender hand on his chest bearing the white gold band. A smile crept across his face. They had finally did it. This morning she was his wife. Yesterday had been the worst and best day of his life. He had almost discovered what lengths he would go to to protect her. Oh and the wedding. He closed hi eyes and remembered those moments in which she appeared on his dad's arm and walked to him. He had almost died right there. She had been such a vision. His own rubber latex angel.

Jeff smirked. She definitely had done things up differently. It was odd and impulsive and rash and so totally her. And perfect for him. He liked things that were different. He didn't like doing things the same way as everyone else. He had to laugh, because she had certainly made sure of that. He looked down at her sleeping form against him. He trailed the finger bruises and the little wound on her neck. He wanted to kill Adam for touching her. He almost did.

She turned her face up to him, blinking still half asleep. He touched her face gently and kissed her.

"Mornin' Mrs Hardy."

"Mmm I do like the sound of that. Say it again."

"Mrs Hardy."

She wriggled in closer if that was at all possible. They weren't going on any honeymoon just yet. Jeff was scheduled to reappear at the WWE this week coming. And if Stephanie deemed him ready for action, she'd script in his use of the Money in the Bank contract. He figured he was. He could train, weights, you name it without any discomfort. He felt back to normal. He slipped out from under her, letting her stretch out like a cat. He watched her naked lithe figure. He had to turn away. He was not going to get tired of that any time soon. He pulled on his lime green boxers and wandered downstairs still yawning.

Jeff was pouring hot coffee for them both when he had the feeling he was being watched. He looked up and saw faces pressed against the windows. He smirked at the sight of Matt, Jade, Ben and Shannon with their faces mashed against the glass. Jeff strolled to the door and unlocked it and turned away to go back to consuming caffeine.

"Again bro, pants remember."

Jeff gave him the middle finger salute.

"It's the morning after my wedding, I have a beautiful naked bride upstairs, I don't intend on doing anything today that requires any type of clothing." Jeff pushed them back outside.

As he did something strewn across the porch crunched under Jeff's bare feet. Something poked into the skin causing Jeff to hop and say ow. He stopped and pulled a thorn out of his foot. He looked at it. Puzzled as to why a thorn was in his foot. He scanned the porch. It was covered in dead mashed up roses. Clearly there was still someone out there. Jeff thought of Brennan. Was he that dangerous? Had he been the real stalker?

Matt collected a broom from inside and started sweeping it up. Logan didn't need this the day after being attacked by Adam and married. They didn't realize she'd thrown on a robe and was watching from her seated position on the bottom of the stairs. Jeff jumped little when he turned and saw her sitting there with a solemn face. She'd seen it all. He crouched in front of her. They kept each others gaze, with a sort of knowing passing between them. This wasn't over yet.

"Jupiter" he simply said.

She shrugged and shook her head. She'd been a wife not even a full day and there was already trouble. Great start, she thought. Jeff leaned in and kissed her and pressed his forehead to hers. It was like their little thing.

"Damn." he said solemnly.

"What's wrong?"

"Looks like i'm gonna have to put pants on today after all." He said gesturing to their four uninvited guests sitting in the living room. Logan nodded and then she threw him a cheeky grin.

"Ah to hell with them, pants can wait."

Logan stood up yanking Jeff on to his feet and dragged him up the stairs. Once safely up stairs away from eyes, she tore off the robe and threw at Jeff and ran down the corridor. He caught up to her and hoisted her up in his arms. He kicked the bedroom door shut and threw her on the bed.

Downstairs, they'd cranked up the xbox. They watched the two newlyweds disappear upstairs and heard the door slam.

"Guess he really doesn't need pants after all" quipped Shannon.

Jade's phone buzzed. Maria was messaging him. He raised his eyebrows at the message. Jade stood up and put his coat back on.

"Bro where ya going?" Matt called out after his new little brother.

Jade smiled slyly and winked. Matt rolled his eyes. Ben and Shannon glanced at the ceiling above them where Jeff and Logan presumably were and then at Jade hopping into a car that had pulled up which had Maria at the wheel. They sped away.

"Rabbits. We're surrounded by rabbits." Ben said breaking the silence.

The three single men continued to take the frustration out on the poor unsuspecting xbox controllers, kicking the snot out of each others characters.

He watched the comings and goings. He watched them clean up his gift. He saw her and sitting inside and saw him touch her. Soon. Not yet. Soon. He wrote down any comings and goings. Including the extra bodies that had arrived. Yes. Not quite yet. The timing and situation just weren't right yet.

The loved up newlyweds lay wrapped around each other. They didn't bother with covers, they knew the others weren't about to intrude. He stroked her skin. She was pressed against him and playing with his hair around fingers as she did.

"Looking forward to going back to work Love?"

"Yeah it's gonna be good getting back into it. And I'm showing you off." he answered and stated.

"Oh are you now?"

"Hell yeah. How many people get to say they got a woman like you for a wife?"

She smiled and kissed him again. The studio was still in construction. The house itself for the boys was almost done. Setting up the studio was going to take a while with its layout and the instruments and electrics needed. Hopefully it wouldn't be too long, Venom needed to start recording soon. Jeff couldn't wait to hear some of the new stuff as hear the other unrecorded songs down on disc and mixed properly. He had only heard some of them live so the acoustics for the songs were different. Logan had already though started pressing demos of some of the stuff she wrote in Jeff's makeshift studio and had hooked her gear up to it to make it work in her favor. Though they were all at odds on the album artwork. There'd been numerous arguments already.

It was mid afternoon by the time Jeff and Logan had decided to re-emerge. They dawdled down the stairs, to find the living room and kitchen looking like a bomb had ripped through it. Well it wasn't far from the truth. Jeff's house now included Matt, Ben, Shannon, Jade and Maria, Phil and the rest of Venom. A chorus of 'afternoon' and 'hi Hardys' were delivered. Jeff had to admit, it did sound real good calling her a Hardy. Although officially she was Logan Venom-Hardy. He didn't object. The Venom name and band was very much apart of her.

Jade and Maria were still necking and snogging on and off. It was partially amusing and still somewhat annoying.

"Do you two ever come up for air? I mean really I can understand those two at it like rabbits, they just got married. You two gotta be hornier than a pair of teenagers in the back of your daddy's car." Shannon stated. Matt and Ben high fived him.

"Maybe they need to be hooked up to co2 tanks" offered Ben.

Jade slapped the back of his brother's head and continued canoodling Maria.

It was late and Logan was watching Jeff sleep. He murmured now and then, gripping on to her tighter. She stroked his hairline and wrapped a leg around him. He settled and simply nuzzled into her and remained that way. She listened to him breathing. As she finally got drowsy, she had this feeling that they were being watched. She told herself it was silly. He'd be stupid to hang around. But she just couldn't shake it. She gave up fighting sleep. She would worry about it tomorrow after they packed and got on the bus for Boston and Jeff's return to the WWE.
