Continuation of Part 1...

You awoke the next morning a little after Aela did. You smelled fish cooking, and you smiled, curling into a ball in the bed roll.
Last night had really happened, and you really needed it too.
You sighed, feeling pure, insurmountable bliss. Then you stretched, changed back into your adventuring gear, and walked outside the tent, where a beautiful sight awaited you.
Aela was standing there, barefoot in nothing but her Ancient Nord armor, cooking breakfast. She felt your eyes on her and turned around, smiling at you.
"Good morning, (y/n)."
You grinned and walked up to her. "Good morning Aela." You wrapped your arms around her waist, placing your chin on her shoulder, breathing in her scent.
"(Y/n), I was thinking that we should head back to Jorvasskar today." She said it quietly, almost as if she expected you to be mad at her.
"Okay." You agreed, pulling away to sit in the grass. "I've been missing everyone anyway."
"Me too." She smiled softly at you, and then her expression shifted. "But what will everyone say about us?"
You raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Aela blushed, then quickly tried to hide it. She wasn't quick enough, however, and you giggled.
"I just mean that we've changed since we left. Our...relationship." She was no longer looking you in the eyes.
You had never in your life seen Aela this nervous about anything. You kind of felt bad, even though you knew you hadn't really done anything.
Shit. You hoped she didn't think you were stringing her along.
"I'm pretty sure they'll be more than okay with it. There's no rule saying we can't be together." You stopped abruptly. "I-I mean, if that's what you want."
Aela turned back to you, smiling her soft smile again. "Yeah. I want that."
You both sat there in silence, smiling dumbly at each other.
Then Aela stood and set out your breakfast, which you ate while discussing what you missed about Jorvasskar and what you guys planned on doing once you got back.
Then you grabbed your stuff and set out on your adventure back, cutting through the woods to get to Whiterun.

^^^^^^

You both stopped just before the doors of Jorvasskar, holding hands and breathing deeply.
"Ready?" She asked, squeezing you hand.
"As the day I was born." You replied, bursting through the doors in dramatic fashion.
"We're back!" You exclaimed joyously. You saw Farkas, Vilkas, and the others run up to both of you, then pause, staring at your intertwined hands.
You both blushed and held each other's hands tighter.
"Are you-?" Farkas asked, raising his eyebrows at both of you.
"Yes." You said happily, leaning your head on Aela's shoulder.
"It's about damn time!" Vilkas shouted, clapping you on the back. Everyone yelled out similar exclamations, and you were both pulled into a large group hug.
"So when's the wedding?" Rea asked.
You all laughed, and for the first time in a long time, you felt truly, undeniably happy.
