Chapter 14: Back Home

After their three-day honeymoon, Speed & Trixie knew it was time that they go home before they were reported missing.

"Where were you two?" Pops asked as they walked into the garage hand in hand. "You had us looking all over. I bet you were somewhere together."

"I don't know where Trixie was," Speed said acting all innocent.

Trixie didn't say anything as she looked back at her husband as if he was crazy.

He then smiled while letting go of her hand, and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Yeah. You kids were together," Pops said shaking his head at them just before continueing to work on a car, and not suspecting at all that his son had gotten married.

Later that day, the young married couple decided to go to the track. While they were there, they didn't know that Racer X was as well. The Masked Racer would have told them hello but the young couple looked to be busy since Speed was chasing Trixie around the Mach 5 as if they were kids in grammar school. After a couple of rounds of running around the car, Speed stopped by the driver's door and Trixie by the other door; both breathless from running, and just looked at each other. Soon surprising Trixie, Speed jumped over the door and quickly moved across the car to grab her. She was laughing too hard to try to get away. With a smile on his face, he opened the door and pulled her into the car then closed the door. Speed then started tickling her, and she laughed loudly. Racer X looked around to make sure that the press wasn't around as Speed did not let up on tickling his wife. She soon lost her balance and slumped down across the seats of the car. Speed then disappeared into the car next, and Trixie's laughter was heard no more.

Suddenly a couple of other drivers' cars were heard making their way on to the track.

I better go break these two up, Racer X thought to himself, and then started to walk towards the Mach 5. When he was closer, he could see Trixie's hand running through the dark hair on the back of Speed's head - making it obvious that they were indeed kissing.

"Uhm," the Masked Racer mumbled loudly trying to get their attention.

Speed's head then popped up and looked around till he saw his friend. "Hey," he said pushing himself up, and then he began to pull an embarressed Trixie up next.

"I'm sorry," Racer X said with a smirk on his face. "But other racers are showing up and if photographers were here, well you know."

"I forgot where we were," Speed said looking back at Trixie.

Trixie blushed furiously as they began to step out of the car.

"Don't be embarrassed, Trixie," Speed said leaning on the car next to her. "Racer X knows I love you."

The Masked Racer was glad for Trixie to hear Speed admit it so easily now; not having a clue of just how well she really knew.

Remembering something, Trixie checked and then tucked her necklace with her wedding ring on it back under her shirt.

Noticing that Racer X was looking at what Trixie was doing, Speed then saw his ring out of his shirt as well so he quickly tucked it back under.

The Masker Racer was about to ask them about the rings till some other drivers walked up.

It was Doug who said confidently, "Try beating my time today, Speed."

"Who cares about your time?" Speed said too happy about his marriage.

Everyone looked at him with surprised expressions on their faces while Racer X himself, was speechless.

"He's joking," Trixie said before they all started to pout. "He'll beat the time," she said looking at her husband.

On the track, Speed did indeed blow Doug's time away while also making it look so easy.

Trixie had been living in Speed's; now their apartment, since they had come home from their honeymoon. There was a woman's touch to it now, and Speed had to admit that it felt more like a home. In fact, he had never felt happier about going home. It was their private place where they didn't have to pretend that they weren't married. They had fun with their big secret but they knew they should tell everyone. It had been about six weeks now.

"Everyone's going to want to know why we kept that we got married a secret," Trixie said wearing her short, pink, silk nightgown as she sat down on the bed next to her husband one night who was already lying down.

He then stood up in nothing but a pair of boxer shorts and said, "I'll yell it out the window right now and tell everyone."

Trixie laughed. "I know you would but really, I think Racer X is getting suspicious."

Speed laid back down on his back next to her. "Yeah. You can tell he's been really watching us. Even through that mask."

"I know," Trixie said giggling. "I think he knew we were married as soon as we got back when he saw the rings."

"Oh...you noticed that too," Speed said making detective eyes.

"Yes," she said as if they had just discovered something new. "I hope your parents don't blow up when they find out."

"They won't. They love you, but they're going to want to know why they weren't invited."

"I guess we'll just tell them we eloped because of the press," Trixie said in her thinking voice.

"You mean besides that I couldn't wait," he said smiling as he pulled her down from her sitting position closer to him.

"Yes," she said laughing as he began tickling her once again. "Okay, okay. I can't breathe." Speed stopped tickling his wife, and when her breathing calmed down, she said, "Even though I'm proud to be your wife, it has been fun sneaking around. Hasn't it?"

"Yeah, except that our neighbors think we're living in sin!"

Trixie started laughing again. She then sat up to grab a pillow and then hit Speed with it.

"Husband abuse," he jokenly accused.

She then lay down next to him putting her arm around him as she said seriously, "I really do feel for your parents."

"They know I'm always up to something," Speed said not sounding too worried. "Besides, the most important person knows."

"Who?" Trixie asked as her hand ran through his hair.

"We were married in the eyes of God," Speed said as he pulled her even closer.

Trixie smiled. "You never stop surprising me."

After expressing their love for each other and just before falling asleep, they decided to tell his parents that weekend.

The next morning, Trixie rose from bed first to clean up a bit. She was emptying the garbage in the kitchen when she saw a post card fall on to the floor. After picking it up, she began reading it. It was inviting Speed to be in a race in Europe on one of Gem's Father's tracks.

Suddenly, Speed walked in dressed to practice. He kissed his wife good morning on her cheek and then noticed what she was holding.

"Speed, why didn't you tell me about this?"

"I don't know," he said turning to open the refrigerator. "I guess because it brings back bad memories since I lost you the last time we were there."

"Speed. I don't feel threatened by Gem at all anymore."

"I should hope not," Speed said strongly. Trixie had to know by now how much he loved her. "But, I'm sure you have no desire to see her."

"No, I don't. But, the reason we were there in the first place was to get you on that racing circuit in Europe."

"I don't care about that anymore," he said pouring a glass of chocolate milk.

"I just don't want you to look back and resent me. I really want you to go."

Speed put his glass down and walked over to her. "I could never resent you. You are more important to me than racing."

Trixie smiled. "It's just that I know you have dreamt about this for a long time now."

"Well it's too late anyway," Speed said looking at the date on the invitation. "It's this weekend when we're supposed to tell everyone that we're married."

"Oh...what's another week," Trixie said as if it was no big deal.

"You're serious. Aren't you?" he asked, his eyes big.

"Yes. I want you to win."

"Win?" he asked. "I don't even know if I can place."

"Oh, please," Trixie said proud of her husband. "You know you're the best."

"Well…" he said smiling. "Hey. You know what?"

"What?" she asked.

"I love you."

"I love you too," she said kissing him softly.

"Well I'm not going without you," he said hugging her.

"No kidding," she said making him laugh.

Will Pops and Mom have to wait to find out about the marriage till Speed and Trixie get back from Europe? What about Gem?
