You and Shadow were happily married and had a 3 year old daughter named Maria, named after the first girl he’s ever cared for and has been friends with. Yes, although he’s dealt with many traumatic things with his past, having a very tough exterior, you and Maria managed to give him a soft interior

You and Maria were busy relaxing outside while Shadow went to go pick up some groceries for dinner, you sitting out on the front porch while Maria was playing with some of her toys in the grass when the sound of a motorcycle came pulling up towards the driveway. Immediately you looked over and saw Shadow with his biker helmet and leather jacket on so you couldn’t see him fully, showing off with a wheelie before parking the bike. However, when he took the helmet off.. it was like watching a scene from a movie; by far the hottest thing you’ve seen, like you were watching it in slow mo as the evening sun shone on his quills. He glanced over at you with that familiar expression, still holding his helmet

Shadow: Got the goods, baby.

Maria, also seeing him, immediately rushed over to him and stood by him and his motorcycle while he lit a cigarette

Maria: Daddy, daddy! You look so cool!

Shadow: Heh, oh do I, sweetie?

Maria: Uh huh! Like a superhero!

Shadow grinned as he exhaled the smoke, getting off the motorcycle and stomping on the cigarette before picking her up

Shadow: A superhero indeed.

He then glanced over at you while you were still staring at him, giving a faint smirk with his lips

Shadow: Could you help me with getting the groceries, honey?
