Chapter 2

Author's Note: Since there was a request that the couple should be married and have a son named Conan I've decided to make a short sequel of this fic (^_-). I hope you enjoy reading this one (^o^)v.

"I just can't believe that almost six years have passed since the perverted poker game we had inside the cruise. I really feel old." Ran said as she hugged the left arm of her husband.

"Well, you still look pretty though," Shinichi replied before placing a kiss on her head.

"And you're still a sweet talker." She poked his nose.

"Anyway, care for a second round?" He whispered in a lustful tone to her ear. She was about to comply with his request when all of sudden their room door sprung opened.

"Good morning, mommy and daddy!" A little boy who is a split image of Shinichi said cheerfully as he walked into the room and jumped onto his parents king size bed.

"Conan, how many times should I tell you that entering someone's room without knocking is against a good manner." Shinichi pinched the right cheek of his son.

"Ouch!, I'm sorry daddy." The little boy caressed his bruised cheek.

"Good morning, sweetheart." Ran pulled the boy into a warm embrace before giving a kiss on his forehead.

"Good morning, mommy. Anyway, why are the two of you not in pajamas?" Conan asked confusedly.

"Err… it's summer now and since the government has announced to the citizen that they should save electricity, me and your mother decided to take off our clothes so we don't need to use the air conditioner." Shinichi explained nervously. Conan stared at her father from head to toe.

"You always say that you hate to sleep naked no matter how hot the temperature is and if you have to you've never removed your underwear so there must be a reason why." Conan continued. Shinichi could feel cold sweat dripping from his temple when he realized that his son is quite sharp when it comes to examining things. Deep inside his heart he blamed his detective DNA.

"Conan, I'll prepare your breakfast in less than an hour so you should go back to your room and wait there." Ran caressed the front hair of her five years old son.

"Yes, mommy." The boy replied before he left the room. Both Ran and Shinichi let out a relief sigh.

"He's become sharper than ever when it comes to examining things." Shinichi claimed.

"Well, he's your son." She chuckled. Ran was about to leave the bed when she felt the strong grip on her waist pulled her back.

"S-Shinichi." She uttered.

"Just half an hour and I swear I'll make it worth for you to stay." He demanded.

"But, I need to prepare breakfast." She struggled to loosen his grip.

"Ran, please," He gave her the puppy look which he knew never failed.

"Okay, half an hour." She gave in at last. He smirked before he pinned her to the bed.

"Mommy."

Silence

"Earth calling mommy. Do you hear me, mommy?" Conan tugged the corner of his mom's red kitchen apron.

"Yes, what is it dear?" Ran who finally came back to reality replied.

"You're burning the pancake." Conan pointed at the black smoke coming out from the frying pan.

"Oh my God!" Ran immediately turned off the gas cooker and grabbed the handle of the frying pan but she was forced to release her grip because it was too hot. Shinichi dressed in blue pajamas who just came down from the stairs promptly turned the cold water knob at the sink before grabbing his wife's right hand and place it under the water.

"Mommy, are you okay?" Conan glanced at his mother with glassy eyes.

"I'm fine so you don't have to worry." She smiled at her son.

"I'll take care of the breakfast." Shinichi hastily took two slices of bread and put non-fat butter on it before he delivered them into the oven toaster. He placed three plates and three glasses onto the dining table before pouring fresh orange juice into each glass. Then he grabbed the ointment for burn injury from the drawer and walked closer. He closed the water knob and dried her hand with a hand towel before carefully put the ointment on her right fingers.

"I'm sorry." She whispered in a low voice.

"It's not your fault." He replied. She bit her lower lip anxiously and cursed herself for being incapable of doing things properly. After half an hour of that mind blowing lustful moment she found it so difficult to concentrate on her activity. She found it unfair when she noticed that he was calm as usual.

The oven toaster dung just when Shinichi finished putting bandages on her hand. He took the bread out and placed one on his son's plate then the other on his. He opened the fridge and grabbed the homemade pineapple jam before placing it in front of his son. Conan happily opened the cap and started to put some of it on his bread with a tea spoon.

"Thank you, daddy. The toast is super yummy." He showed a big smile after he took a bite of his toast.

"Glad to hear that." Shinichi patted Conan's head. He grabbed a bowl and a table spoon from the dish washer, took a bottle of fresh milk from the fridge and placed them on the table. After that he grabbed a box of corn flakes nearby and poured its contents together with some amount of milk into the bowl. He took a spoonful of it and brought it to Ran's mouth.

"Shinichi, I can eat by myself." She quenched.

"I don't think so. I saw you wincing in pain when you were about to grab your glass." He said.

"But…"

"Do you prefer I use my mouth to deliver this corn flakes to you?" He smirked.

"Please use your hand, your majesty." She answered quickly. The detective gave a Cheshire cat like smile before feeding his wife.

"Mommy, you have a milk smear on your face." Conan pointed at his mom's face.

"Where?" Ran started to search for the spot with his left hand.

"Let me do it for you." Shinichi leaned forward and licked the spot which was right above her lips.

"Shinichi!" She screamed out in panic as her face turned cherry red. Conan blushed red as he looked at his parents doing their lovey dovey attitude.

"Awww!, how sweet!" Shinichi immediately pulled back when he heard the voice.

"Grandma Yukiko!" Conan jumped from his chair and hugged his grandmother.

"It's been a while, Ran chan." Yuusaku greeted his daughter in law.

"You said that you'll be arriving tomorrow at 6 pm." Shinichi gave a look of disturb at his parents.

"Well, we changed our mind since we have an important thing to tell you." Yukiko said as she lifted up her grandson.

"Is there any serious case to be solved?" Ran asked nervously.

"I'm afraid not, dear. We were just concerned if the two of you would like to hold your wedding party at Suzuki Corporation new airship." Yukiko continued.

"Mom, there might be a possibility of someone getting killed during the party and that is why we decided to just submit our marriage documents to the ward office." Shinichi affirmed.

"You don't have to worry about that, son. The crews of the airship are all robots and the guests are just family and close friends." Yuusaku added.

"He's right." Sonoko said as she walked in. Her hand entwined with the hand of a little girl with short raven hair.

"Good morning, Mako chan." Conan greeted his friend.

"Good morning, Conan kun." Mako replied.

"My daughter will be the flower girl and your son will be the ring bearer." Sonoko concluded.

"She said that I'm the ring bearer, grandma." Conan beamed cheerfully.

"I'm happy for you, little pumpkin," Yukiko smiled as she kissed his forehead.

"I've made a reservation at 11 am for Suzuki jewelry shop then 2 pm at Suzuki bridal shop for your dress and tux then we'll have a dinner meeting about overall of the wedding at my house on 7 pm sharp. So, make sure that the two of you get change quickly and go there in less than an hour." Sonoko glanced at her wrist clock.

"But, I need to drop Conan at the kinder garden." Ran protested.

"We'll drop him and we'll also pick him up later." Yuusaku replied.

"See you later. Sonoko waved her hand before she left the spot followed by the other visitors of the great Kudo's mansion. Shinichi and Ran let out a heavy sigh since they know that they won't be able to run away from their arranged wedding party.

"We've been waiting for you, Mister Kudo and we had your order done." a middle aged silver haired man bowed politely at Shinichi when he entered the shop along with his wife.

"Thank you, Shibata san."

"You ordered something?" Ran raised an eyebrow.

"Well, since I only bought you an engagement ring I've decided to buy us marriage rings although I didn't expect that I'll be giving it to you at the wedding party." He scratched his head clumsily. Ran could notice the heat on both of her cheeks.

"Here are the rings, Sir." Shibata the shop chief placed two rings on a royal blue velvet box.

"May I take a look closer on it?" Ran asked.

"Certainly, Madame." The shop chief bowed politely.

She took one of the rings and started to examine it. It was a mixed of platinum and pink gold and inside was engraved her husband first name and the date when they submitted their marriage registration document. She found a half shape of heart and angel wing together with a shape of "0".

"What's number zero for?" She asked her husband curiously.

Shinichi smiled before he took the bigger ring which has her first name engraved inside it and placed it on top of the smaller one. Ran gasped when she saw a perfect shape of heart with two angel wings and two zeros united into a certain form. She recalled she has seen the form somewhere and the memory was still fresh.

"It's a mathematic symbol of infinity." Shinichi explained. Finally she remembered what she was once told by her English friend, Miss Glass who was a Wimbledon champion.

"You and your boyfriend are both new in love relationship but I don't think that you shouldn't be afraid about not getting along well in the future because, two zeros will make a perfect combination." Tears slipped down her eyes when the wise words of her friend repeated in her mind.

"Oh, I'm sorry." She was going to take her handkerchief from her purse but Shinichi was quicker than her.

"You should save your tears for the big day, honey." He whispered while she flushed at how he addressed her.

"Infinite love, isn't it?" She questioned him.

"Yes, indeed." He gave her his best smile of the day.

"I'll make sure that they'll be delivered on your wedding day, Mister Kudo." Shibata informed his loyal customer.

"I'm counting on you, Shibata san. We shall be leaving to the next store." Shinichi responded while looking at his wrist clock which is an advance version of what he had been wearing when he shrunk into an eight years old boy. He recalled the memory when he told everything he had been keeping to his wife several days before they submitted their marriage documents and to his relief she didn't punch him on the face. She said that she understood his circumstance at that time and that it was unavoidable. She even told him that as long as he's alive she'll wait forever for him to return.

"Shinichi, we'll miss the train if we don't go now." Ran's voice brought him back to real world.

"Okay, let's go." He stated as he rose from his seat and left the place.

"Shinichi, I think we should…."

Growl

Ran hasn't even finished her words when her stomach growled. She blushed as she rubbed her tummy.

"We still have an hour until the reservation time. Let's go eat some sushi." Shinichi chuckled as he took his wife's left hand and guided her to the nearest sushi bar.

"I don't remember when was the last time we ate at sushi bar." Ran said when they entered the sushi bar.

"I recalled we went on Conan's fourth birthday so it was last year." Shinichi answered as he sat the counter.

"I remembered we used to go to the sushi bar every weekend during high school." Ran continued.

"That's because Meguro keibu always gave me free meal ticket of the sushi bar near our high school as my payment of solving the cases." Shinichi answered as he filled two glasses with hot green tea and put one in front of Ran.

"Thank you." She smiled at him while glancing at the revolving plates waiting for her favorite dish to come. Ran stretched out her hand when she saw the golden plate of mackerel she was about to pulled the plate toward her when she noticed that her husband was holding the opposite corner of the same plate. They stared at each other before giggling like crazy. In the end they decided to cut the fish into half and ate from the same plate ignoring the painful stare of some elder couples around them.

"What do you think?" Ran who just came out from the dressing room asked. Shinichi didn't give any response since he was stunned by her beauty. She was wearing a mermaid line wedding dress and he knew better than anyone else in this world that mermaid line dress is the best for her.

"Shinichi?" She called him.

"Y-You look…." he gulped the lump inside his throat.

"I look?"

"Like a princess." He said while averting his gaze from her so she won't notice his blushing face.

"Thank you." She smiled at him. Several male shop assistants blushed as they stared at the raven haired Aphrodite. Shinichi gave each of them his scariest death glare before he leaned forward and placed his right hand on her waist before he drew closer to his body.

"Shinichi!" She protested.

"Make sure you don't wear stilettos at the big day." He whispered.

"Don't worry, I know how much you hate them." She winked. He stared right into her royal blue eyes and caressed her locks.

"Can I kiss you now?" He asked.

"I'm afraid I must say no to that, Mister Detective. You're in the wrong country." She chuckled.

"Sorry, I thought we were in the States." He laughed.

"Shinichi, we'll be late to the dinner meeting." Ran muttered as she pushed her husband's chest gently.

"Five more minutes." Shinichi hugged her waist from behind and placed his jaw on her right shoulder. He had to admit that he just can't get enough of her even though six years have passed since their marriage.

"You've been saying the same thing since ten minutes ago." She claimed.

"I'm sorry, let's get going then." He placed a soft kiss fully on her lips before grabbing the car key.

"We're ready whenever you are." Conan announced happily. Shinichi turned his head around and let out a big sigh when he saw his parents and Ran's parents stood behind his son.

"I thought we'll be going separately." He complained.

"Well, it's two hours driving from here and you're the youngest driver here." Yuusaku said as she replaced the BMW car key from his son with Nissan El Grand car key.

"Yukiko told us that we should join you." Eri explained.

"Grandmother Eri." Conan gave his grandmother a big hug. The blonde woman held her grandson up. Conan circled his tiny hands around her neck to keep his balance.

"Let's not waste our time. I can't wait to taste the Suzuki brand draft beer. It's just too good to be true, hahahah!" Kogoro the sleeping sleuth laughed out loud while the rest let out a heavy sigh.

Half an hour later

"Ran, you've been spending more than five minutes putting the lipstick on." Eri gave a curious look on her daughter.

"Something is wrong with this lipstick. The color didn't appear no matter how much I put it on." Ran replied anxiously.

"Grandmother Yukiko said that it's nearly impossible to put on a lipstick after sharing a kiss." Conan said cheerfully. There was a moment of silence after Conan finished his words.

"What did you do to my daughter, impudent detective boy?" Kogoro grabbed the collar of Shinichi's shirt.

"Believe me I didn't harm her!" Shinichi tried to control the wheel while pushing his grumpy father in law away.

"Kyaa!" Ran screamed out in horror when she saw the car running zig-zag.

"Cut it out!" Eri pinched her ex-husband ear hard forcing the middle age detective to sit back onto his seat.

"You can put the lipstick back after wiping your lips, Ran chan." Yuusaku advised. Shinichi pulled out a royal blue handkerchief from his chest pocket and handed it to Ran. However, to his surprise she shook her head horizontally. He couldn't help but blushed at the fact that she has chosen to keep the trace of his kiss on her lips.
