"What did you mean about a honeymoon?" Tifa asked him later as they lay naked in each other's arms in bed. She hadn't meant to accept his advances, but he was good in bed, and since she was already pregnant, there really was nothing to worry about. And…she was physically attracted to him, finally admitting it to herself. "We're not married yet."

"So? If we do get married, it will be on the last day of the cruise, and we probably won't have time to honeymoon after that." Reno told her.

"That's true." Tifa agreed, heartened by him thinking things out. It felt so nice being with someone who could be romantic and sensible at the same time, she thought as she rested her head on his chest. "So what's in the box?"

"I thought you'd never ask." Reno reached one of his long arms around her and picked it up off the floor. "

"This is for you to drink." Reno pulled a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne out of the box and handed it to her. "And this is for me." he said as he pulled out a bottle of scotch that Tifa recognized as a very expensive brand.

"What else is in there?" she asked, sure there had to be more.

"The rest of our honeymoon fun." Reno's smirk was ear to ear as he carefully lifted out his vintage D&D game.

Tifa blinked in surprise...the man was actually serious! A smile spread across her face too...she had always wanted to learn how to play it when she was a teenager, but her parents forbid it, then came the whole Sephiroth issue and she got entangled with saving the world. When it was over, she had her bar and orphaned kids she had adopted to take care of. "Better late than never." she murmured, smiling more when he looked questioningly at her.

A knock on the door startled them both, and Reno hurried to answer it. "What is it?" he snapped as soon as he opened the door. "Our tournament's just getting good!"

"I...was just going to ask for the doll back. Tomorrow's the last day of the cruise, remember?" Cloud stared disbelievingly at a Reno clad only in a cloak three sizes too small, and he saw Tifa in the background sitting at the table, wearing an attractive robe with some kind of game in front of her, and he didn't want to know anymore.

"Oh, already?" Tifa wondered at how they lost track of time. His parents had brought the doll back at some point, but taking care of it didn't interrupt their gaming.

"Thanks." Cloud said when Reno distractedly handed the doll to him.

"No problem." he said, then noticed how Cloud was staring at him. "You like smart men, right? You wanna know how smart my…" Reno started to needle Cloud but the blond interrupted him.

"I already know you're a smart ass." Cloud told him condescendingly. "Glad you two are having fun." he said before leaving with the doll.

"Hey, you didn't get my grade from that thing!" Reno told Tifa as he closed the door. "We had a deal."

"Oh…well I watched you take care of the baby, I know you passed." she smiled reassuringly at him. "But we're not leaving this room to get married til I kick your butt this time!"

"That's what you think!" Reno retorted smugly. "I'll show you what a dungeon master really is!"

"Do you, Richard Sinclair, take Tifa Lockhart as your legally wedded wife, to love and cherish from this day forward?" the shipboard minister asked him. It was the last day of the cruise.

"Yeah." Reno replied, feeling a bit weird that he was actually getting married, but Tifa was alright after all.

"Do you, Tifa Lockhart, take Richard Sinclair as your lawfully wedded husband, to love and honor from this day forward?"

"I'll do my best." she promised.

The minister took a deep breath, wondering why they gave rather lackluster answers, but it was none of his business. "Does anyone have any objections to this union?" he asked the guests; Patrick, Jillian, Cloud, and Tseng remained silent. "Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." There was nothing lackluster in Reno's passionate kiss with Tifa as the photographer took pictures.

SEVEN YEARS LATER

"What are you two still bothering me? I married Tifa, there's nothing more you can do to me." Reno told his professor and girly selves, who were involved in reading a book and working on some embroidery respectively.

"I am bothered by your presence as much as you are with mine." Reginald closed his book. "But I don't know why we're all here yet."

"Maybe it's cause he's doing that wrong." Reno gestured towards his girly self.

"I've won prizes for my embroidery!" his feminized version of himself exclaimed defensively. "How would you know I'm doing it wrong?"

"Wake up!" Tifa snapped, and Reno opened his eyes to find an unhappy Tifa staring at him. "You fell asleep while watching the kids?!"

"Is anyone hurt or is anything broken?" he asked concernedly, getting out of his recliner.

"No, thankfully." she informed him as their three young children were all occupied watching TV. Eyeing his ratty Dungeon Masters Are Sexy t-shirt he was wearing, a smile came unbidden to her face. "You know they're spending the night at Cloud and Tseng's, don't you?"

"Yeah, it's our anniversary." he replied cheerfully. Married life had turned out to be not that bad overall. Tifa could be a pain in the ass, but she never got personal when she did complain. They just had to learn how to compromise on their ideas of running their household and raising their kids.

"Here's their overnight bags." Tifa handed them to Tseng when he and Cloud came with their adopted daughter Cirra to pick up the children.

"Your embroidery skills have gotten really crappy." Cloud told Reno as he saw the ratty t-shirt.

"So have your conversational skills." Reno fired back. Tseng and Tifa ignored the exchange, having long ago realized that for some reason, Cloud and Reno just enjoyed harassing each other.

"Have fun, my babies!" Tifa hugged each of their children. Junior was the oldest, followed by Amy two years after that, then she was two when Patrick was born.

"Yeah, and behave yourselves, okay?" Reno tousled Junior's hair, and patted the heads of their other two kids.

"We will!" their young voices promised as they eagerly went out to Tseng and Cloud's car.

"It's just you and me now, buddy." Tifa said to her husband when she stopped waving at the car as it drove off.

"You get the box, I'll change." Reno said, running upstairs as he threw his clothes off.

Tifa shook her head at his slovenly tendencies, though she never regretted their marriage. It wasn't that challenging at all, especially since she remembered what Jillian said about how sensitive he was, and was careful what she said when they disagreed on something. But she didn't have to be sensitive now…a positively wicked grin appeared on her face as she got the game box out from its special hiding spot, putting it on the table just as Reno reappeared in nothing but his cloak. "Ready to lose?" she taunted him.

"I should ask you the same question." Reno said as he sat down at the table opposite her. He scoffed at her as much as he did at Cloud's derogatory comment about his embroidery. This was a handmade newer cloak that fit his lanky self, and he had been making their children's Halloween outfits every year himself as well.

"Oh, before we start, I need to give you my anniversary present." Tifa said.

"Well, what is it?" Reno wasn't happy at the delay.

"I'm pregnant again." she informed him with a smile. "Happy Valentine's Day, my love."

Reno was stunned by her revelation and her endearment. It had almost scared him the first time she told him she loved him, and he still wasn't quite used to it, any more than he was used to telling her he loved her too. "Hey…that's cheating!"

"Oh? That coming from Mr. Dungeon Master? Lost your skill at this too?" she teased him.

"Oh, I'll show you what a master is!" he swore, then smiled and then reached over and grabbed hold of her hand. "Happy anniversary, Tifa."

"Happy anniversary yourself, Reno…now quit stalling!" she insisted, and they both had matching merciless smiles on their faces as they started the first half of their celebration.
