Within the week, everything was settled- Tori and Blake would be joined in a ninja bonding ceremony at the Wind academy where Sensei Amino and Sensei Wantanabe would perform the rights. It would be a simple affair- both bride and groom in their uniforms with their friends and family around them.

Blake stood at the steps of the temple anxiously awaiting his bride. Hunter and Leeann stood to his right as he faced the two Senseis, and Shane and Dustin stood to his left on the other side.

Marah, Kapri, and Laura sat in chairs that had been brought out and set up across from where the Wind Ninjas stood.

Tori stood inside the main building and looked out at the courtyard. Cam turned and looked over to Tori who was chewing on her lip. She couldn't believe that today was her wedding day. She looked in the mirror one last time before turning to Cam. Her hair was pulled into a French twist with tiny blue bells and baby's breath embedded into it.

"Tori, they're ready," Cam said. Tori walked over to him and took his arm.

"Thanks, bro," she said kissing him lightly on the cheek. Cam placed his hand over hers as it lay on his arm.

"Anytime, sis," he replied. They made their way out to the temple.

Blake felt his breath leave his lungs when he saw her. She was wearing the same ensemble she usually did, but he had never seen her look more beautiful. He took a deep breath and locked eyes with her as she approached.

When Tori and Cam finally reached the alter, Sensei Amino spoke first. "Who brings this woman to be joined with this man today?"

Cam looked to his father and saw that tears were brimming the corners of his eyes. He turned to Sensei Amino. "My father and I." He turned to Blake and placed Tori's hand in his. He then turned and took his place with Shane and Dustin.

Tori turned and faced Blake. A happy tear rolled down her cheek and Blake wiped it away. She laughed a little and they turned to face their Senseis.

Four candles stood next to them on a small table adorned in blue, navy, and crimson. Sensei Wantanabe handed Blake and Tori two lit candles and motioned them towards the table.

"Today we honor those who are not here to celebrate with up on this great day of joy." As he spoke, Blake lit two candles and Tori did the same. "Ann, Joan, Pua, and Owen... may you watch over all of us and bless this day." Everyone then bowed to the candles and Tori and Blake returned to their spots.

"Blake, repeat after me," Sensei Amino instructed. Blake took both of Tori's hands in his and looked deep into her blue eyes. "I Blake take you Victoria to be my wife."

"I Blake take you Victoria to be my wife," Blake repeated smiling. Tori fought back happy tears as they continued.

"I promise to love you and keep you all the days of my life," Sensei Amino said.

"I promise to love you and keep you all the days of my life," Blake said.

"And in keeping with the ninja tradition, I promise to honor and protect you, and all that surrounds you forever."

"And in keeping with the ninja tradition, I promise to honor and protect you, and all that surrounds you forever," Blake finished. He squeezed Tori's hands gently and she smiled at him.

"Tori," Sensei Wantannabe began. "Please repeat after me...I Victoria take you Blake to be my husband."

"I Victoria take you Blake to be my husband," she said.

"I promise to love you and keep you all the days of my life," Sensei said.

"I promise to love you and keep you all the days of my life," she said.

"And in keeping with the ninja tradition, I promise to honor and protect you, and all that surrounds you forever."

"And in keeping with the ninja tradition, I promise to honor and protect you, and all that surrounds you forever," she finished. She ran her thumb along his hand and saw him smile.

The rings were then called for, and Hunter handed Blake Tori's and Dustin handed Tori Blake's.

"Place these rings on each other's third finger," Sensei Amino said.

"And by doing so you will be bonded forever,' Sensei Wantanabe added.

Tori and Blake smiled and placed the rings on each others left hand. As they placed the smooth silver rings on, a royal blue aura of light encased their hands and they felt warmth running through their veins. The light died down and they turned to their mentors.

"By the giving and receiving of rings," Sensei Wantanabe said.

"And the exchanging of vows," Sensei Amino said.

"We pronounce you man and wife," they both said at the same time.

Tori couldn't contain her excitement any longer, and apparently neither could Blake. They both pulled each other in and kissed for all to see. Blake dipped her back a little and hugged her close. They broke away when they heard applause from their friends and family.

The day progressed on and everyone was enjoying the mini-celebration that was taking place on the lake behind the academy. The sun was beginning to set and the newlyweds headed back to their house.

((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))

Blake lifted Tori in his arms and effortlessly brought her over the threshold and into their home. He set her down and kissed her passionately. Tori's arms went around his neck and she felt herself getting lost in him.

"I love you Blake," she said when they parted. Blake kissed her again.

"I love you too," he said. Tori was about to lean in and kiss him again when she suddenly felt nauseous. Blake saw her face pale a little and let her go. Tori took off running for the bathroom.

Blake followed her and found her retching again. He knelt down and soothingly rubbed her back. Tori finished and sat back into his arms. "I guess we're going to have to get used to this, huh?" he asked.

Tori gave him a weak smile and he kissed her cheek. "Our little one doesn't seem to want us to have a wedding night." Blake kissed her forehead and helped her up.

"We'll have plenty of time for that, MRS. Bradley." Tori smiled then and Blake scooped her up in his arms and brought her upstairs. He stopped in front of one of the spare bedrooms. Just before they entered, Blake whispered in her ear. "I have a little gift for you."

He opened the door and led her inside. Tori's hand went over her mouth as tears began to gather. The room was painted in white and light blue. A crib, changing table, and rocking chair were set up as well. "Blake..." she squeaked out. "It's...wonderful." She turned to him and hugged him close.

Blake kissed her temple and she turned around to observe the room. The furniture was all made of polished wood and adorned in different shades of Blue. Blake led her over to the rocking chair and sat her down.

"You really like it?" he asked. Tori nodded through her tears,

"It's perfect...how did you find the time to do all this without me knowing?" she asked smiling.

"Well, while you were teaching, I took a few days off." Tori smiled and he bent down to kiss her cheek. "C'mon, there's more."

Tori gave him a surprised look and followed him into their bedroom. He opened the door and a basinet was set up. Tori walked over and saw that a light blue blanket with a white orchid print was folded neatly inside, with an envelope sitting on it.

The print was very similar to the ones she saw at home, back in Hawaii, and she was touched that Blake thought of it. She turned and kissed him. "This is so great, Blake." She turned and picked up the envelope and read the letter that was inside.

'Dear Tori- today you made me the happiest man in the world. I never thought I could love someone as much as I love you and our child that you carry. To know that you love me is the greatest gift I could ever ask for...now I want to give you something to show how much I love you and care about you...'

Tori finished reading and looked up at Blake who handed her two airline tickets. Her eyes filled with tears as she saw where they were to- Honolulu, Hawaii...

Tori flung her arms around him and he held her closely as tears fell onto his shoulder. "I love you Tori."

Tori couldn't believe that he had done this for her. "I love you too, Blake...so much..." she replied.

"We're not scheduled to leave until you're okay to travel," he whispered in her ear.

Tori kissed him passionately and led him back to the bed. "This is the most thoughtful thing anyone has ever done for me," she said.

Blake smoothed her hair back and kissed her lips. "You've given me the greatest gift of all Tor." His hand rested on her stomach and he lowered her down. He began to unzip her uniform top and kissed her neck as he moved the garment off her. "If you're not up for this, it's okay."

Tori didn't feel sick any longer, and there was nothing more that she wanted than to make love to this man...her husband...the father of her child. "I'm fine Blake," she replied huskily. Her hands moved to his top and he helped her remove it.

Their pants were next to go and soon they were covered in nothing but kisses and loose bed sheets. They both had never felt anything like this before, as this was their first time as husband and wife.

They began at a slow pace, before speeding up as their desires grew. They continued long into the night until they felt their ultimate releases and drifted back to earth. Both were sweating and had tired smiled on their lips. Tori lay on her back, while Blake lay on his side, his arm placed loosely around her, holding her close to him.

Tori's eyes slowly closed and Blake followed soon after, holding his wife and child in his arms.
