AN: I'm so sorry it took so long for me to get this last part up. I had such a hard time writing it. I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do with it, and so I'd keep starting it and then deleting it because I didn't like how it was going. I did that I don't know how many times now. At one point I almost gave up and decided that the last chapter would be it, but then I'd already promised everyone there would be one more chapter so here it finally is. I hope you all enjoy it.

I'm kind of sad that it's finally over, but then I was thinking maybe I'll do a sequel, but I want everyone else's opinion first. I'll only do a sequel if people really want me to. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

Special Thanks to:

Marauder Heir: Hey child, hope you like this last installment. Thanks for all your 'forced' reviews, lol. We should hang out sometime when we're both not busy. Luvs!

Kinara: Hey, sorry you had to wait so long for Heero to finally wake up… heh. Seems a lot of people were angry at me about that. Sighs. I hope you enjoy this last part and thanks for the review.

Kami-Crimson: Yeah, I can't believe it's finally over either. Sobs. I'm sorry this story is so sad, but I hope you enjoy this last part. Shouldn't be so sad as the rest of the story. Please tell me what you think. Thanks for all your reviews so far.

Tina-Chan O: Hehe, thanks for all your wonderful reviews throughout the story. I'm glad that you enjoyed it, and I hope you enjoy this last chapter just as much. Thank you for the support. It really made me happy and I hope to hear from you again.

Jess-Eklom: Hm… I didn't do anything about Wufei getting over his fiancé, but the truth is he never wanted to be engaged to her, and it's not like he could do anything about her death. It had happened awhile ago and there were things that he had to worry about at the moment… so yeah… that's the way I see it… Sighs. Thanks for all the reviews though and I'm glad you enjoyed the story. I hope you enjoy this last part as well. Please let me know what you think.

Dhampir: Thank you for the advice you've given me through the story, and I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I'm really glad that you enjoyed the last chapter, and I hope you enjoy this last part as well, but I know it probably could have been better. Sighs. I'm not good with endings though, and I worked hard on this, and wrote it maybe about a million times before I finally settled with this. Please let me know what you think… bad or good. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Modified Tam: Heh, I'm glad that you enjoyed my story so far, and I really hope you enjoy this last part as well. I'm trying to see who wants me to do a sequel to this and your vote would be much appreciated. Thanks for everything, your support and all your wonderful reviews.

Cherry Fantasy: I'm glad that you enjoyed my story so far, and I'm happy that the last chapter put you in a good mood. That really makes me happy. I'm sad to say that this is the last part of this story… It's finally over. Sobs. But I'm thinking of doing a sequel and I'd like your opinion on the matter. Thanks for everything.

BloodspillerInulover: Thank you for all your wonderful reviews throughout the story. I'm glad that you were able to enjoy it so far and I hope you enjoy this last chapter as well. Please let me know if you think I should do a sequel.

Thank you to everyone for such wonderful reviews and the support that some of you provided me throughout this story. I got some wonderful advice from some people and such loving support from others. I don't think I could have finished this if I didn't have such wonderful fans. Luv to all!

Epilogue

It was almost three years now since Heero had woken up that day in the hospital, memories of his past filling his mind as he had held onto the braided boy who waited for him to awake. Now the two lived in the orphanage, taking care of all the little kids who appeared there with no home. Today was the day though that everyone of their family would gather together.

Heero stood at the airport waiting for his sister and her husband to arrive. He watched as people filed off the plane and he kept his eyes wide open for the pair, shouting out when he finally spotted them.

Lily made her way over to her brother, a small baby wrapped firmly in her arms. Heero stared down at his niece and smiled at Lily. Wufei trailed behind his lovely wife, carrying all the luggage for the both of them.

"It's good to see you again," Heero told the couple and Lily nodded, wrapping one arm around her brother as the other held onto her baby.

"So what of everyone else?" Lily asked her brother as they made their way to Heero's new car.

"Well, Quatre and Trowa will be arriving later," Heero explained. "They'd moved to Quatre's mansion not too long after you and Wufei moved to England."

"I see." Lily smiled at her brother. "And what of Kurama and Hiei?"

"Kurama and Hiei are still at the old house. I don't think they plan on moving out any time soon. Speaking of, that's where you two… or rather three, will be staying."

"Oh, so I get to see Kurama again?" Lily sang out and Heero laughed.

"Hai. You'll get to see Kurama again."

"Yayness!"

"There she goes with that word again," Wufei muttered.

"Did you say something, Wu-Honey?" Lily asked in a dangerously sweet tone and Wufei quickly shook his head.

"No Lily. I didn't say anything."

"So what's going on with you two anyway?" Heero asked. "Every time I talk to you on the phone it's always so brief."

"That's because we're always busy," Lily explained to her brother. "I now own my own dance school and Wufei owns a martial arts studio."

"That's great," Heero exclaimed. "So you finally got to become a dance teacher?"

"Yup! It's so great!" Lily exclaimed. She was happy to be back in Japan with her brother, even if it was just for a little while. She couldn't wait to see Duo.

0000000000

Duo laughed as some kids seemed to attach themselves to him. He waddled down the hall, one kid attached to each leg and another hanging off his back. Hilde blinked at the sight and shook her head. She liked that the kids adored Duo so much, but sometimes she wondered if he wasn't just a kid with them and that's why they'd grown such an attachment to him.

"Duo, shouldn't you be getting ready? Heero and your guests will be arriving soon, no?"

Duo blinked and nodded, smiling brightly. "Hai!" He then proceeded to pry the three kids off of him and ran to his room where he found a certain other boy perched in front of his door. Smiling, Duo lifted the kid into his arms.

"Li, what's wrong?" Duo asked the boy.

"The other kids won't play with me," Li explained, clinging to Duo.

"I used to know a kid like that when we were about your age."

"Really? Who?" Li asked.

"Heero."

"Yuy-san didn't have any friends either?" Li asked, somewhat unbelieving.

"Yes. I was his only friend. And you know what? He also didn't have his memory from before he was six till just a few years ago." Duo smiled and placed the boy on his bed. "He didn't remember us when we were kids because he'd been adopted and got into a car accident on his way to his new home. He woke up with no memories. Then a few years ago he got into another accident and he fell into a coma. Somehow he regained all his memories while he was unconscious."

"Yuy-san lost his memories? Just like me?" Li asked.

Duo placed a hand on the boy's head, ruffling up his already messy brown hair. Li stared up at Duo, green orbs now filled with hope that one day he as well would gain his memories.

"Duo, are you in there?" Heero asked, poking his head into the room. He blinked at Li who sat on the bed and smiled. "Hey Li, you bothering Duo again?" Heero walked into the room and sat next to the boy on the bed.

"Maxwell-san was telling me about how you didn't have a memory before you were six and that you also didn't have any friends."

Heero blinked and then smiled. "That's right. Duo was my very first friend ever and my only friend up until I was adopted."

"Oh." The boy smiled and jumped off the bed. "I'm going to go watch cartoons now," Li explained and ran out of the room.

"He's so adorable," Duo pointed out.

"Looking forward to telling everyone?" Heero asked his koi, standing and walking over to him. He placed both hands on the braided boy's waist and pulled him close, smiling mischievously.

"Heero!" Duo laughed as he pushed away from the other boy. "Not now. Anyway, where's Lily and Wufei?"

"With their daughter in the TV room."

"Daughter?" Duo's eyes widened. "They have a daughter? Since when? Where have I been?"

"I told you this. It's not my fault you don't listen," Heero lectured. "She's six months old."

"What's her name?"

"Sae."

Quatre stood outside the old house, knocking on the door, hoping someone might be here. Luckily, the door flew open, revealing Kurama. Quatre smiled up at the boy as Kurama moved out of the way, allowing both Quatre and Trowa entrance.

"It's good to see you again," Kurama greeted.

"Likewise." Quatre nodded his greeting to Hiei who walked into the kitchen, arms crossed across his chest.

"It's been awhile. I wasn't sure if anyone still lived here," Quatre admitted.

"It's not like me and Hiei have anywhere else to go," Kurama explained. "And we like this house."

"You like this house," Hiei said.

"Oh, you know you like it too," Kurama told him, stepping behind the shorter boy and wrapping his arms around him. Hiei only huffed.

"It's been a little over a year since I've been here," Quatre started. "I actually missed this place."

"You aren't the only one." Everyone's attention turned towards the door where Lily now stood. She smiled at all the boys in the kitchen and walked in, Wufei, Duo and Heero close behind her. "Didn't mean to barge in on your conversation," Lily told the boys and Quatre shook his head.

"No, not at all," Quatre said smiling. "It's good to see you again Lily."

Lily nodded and looked over to Kurama who smiled. "I missed you Kurama."

"I missed you as well Lily." He let go of Hiei, walking over to the shorter girl and wrapping her in his embrace. "I'm glad to see you're okay. I was worried last time I spoke with you."

Lily laughed. "Wufei made me take some time off, so I'm all better."

"She has a tendency to overwork herself," Wufei explained, holding the baby in his arms.

Lily leaned up whispering into Kurama's ear. "Doesn't he make such a great father?"

"Onna!"

Lily laughed and waved her hand at her husband. "Hai. Daijoubu. Daijoubu."

"Wow! Looks like the party's already started."

"Sakura!" Lily squealed and ran to the black haired girl standing in the doorway. Lily stopped when she noticed the stomach on the girl. "You're pregnant?"

"I'm pregnant." Sakura smiled when Lily squealed yet again and glomped her.

"You're pregnant!" she shouted excitedly. "So where's your husband?"

"He's coming. He had to carry all our luggage." Sakura grinned. "Couldn't very well let the pregnant lady carry it."

Lily laughed. "I was the same way with Wufei." Lily went over to her husband, leaning against him slightly as she stared down at her baby. "But Wu-Honey's such a sweetheart, he didn't mind. Right Honey?" Lily looked up at Wufei blinking those beautiful violet eyes of hers.

Wufei laughed and kissed his wife on the forehead. "Not when you look at me like that."

"See?" Lily called out to Sakura. Lily then bounced over to Heero and Duo. "But enough stalling. I want to know what the two of you called everyone here for."

"We just thought that maybe it was time we all got together again," Heero admitted.

Lily smiled. "Well, it has been a little over a year since we all got together. We all did separate when all of us finally graduated," Lily admitted. "Except you and Duo. You both moved into the orphanage as soon as possible."

"Hey, I had a responsibility to fulfill," Duo pouted, and Lily laughed.

"Hai. We all know this already." She sighed. "That first year sure was hectic. A lot of things happened."

"But it's what started our family now," Yusuke cut in as he walked in the door carrying tons of luggage.

"Looks like everyone's finally here," Duo pointed out.

"We should head over to the restaurant," Heero explained. "We reserved a spot."

"For what time?" asked Wufei.

"What about Yukina?" Lily cut in. "I heard she was coming."

"Yukina will meet us at the restaurant," Hiei explained. "She's working right now."

"Oh okay."

0000000000

The restaurant was packed, but they didn't have to worry about that. Heero didn't reserve a spot. He'd reserved a room. Lily was quite impressed with the restaurant and figured it had been built after she'd left because it was never here when she was around.

Duo happily took a seat. This was the couple's favorite restaurant and they'd wanted to share the experience with their friends, so they'd reserved a room for just their family. Duo watched as everyone picked up their menus, with the exception of Kurama, Hiei and Yukina who probably already knew the restaurant about as well as he did. It was very popular, and very well known for its service and great food.

Duo reached out, taking Heero's hand in his. Heero smiled, nodding at Duo who picked up his glass of wine raising it out to all of his friends. "I have an announcement to make."

"I knew there was something you were keeping from me," Lily explained grinning at the couple. The couple only laughed nodding their heads.

"Me and Heero want to adopt," Duo continued.

"Adopt?" Lily smiled. "That's great. Do you already know who you want to adopt?"

"Yes."

"But why?" Sakura cut in. "I mean, you've already got a whole orphanage of kids. Why do you want to adopt one of your own?"

"It's not the same," Duo explained. "Taking care of kids who will one day have a family of their own. They'll all leave eventually, but this kid… we want him as our own. We want to be his parents."

"What's he like?" Quatre asked.

"A lot like Heero was actually," Duo admitted and blinked when a warm smile crossed Lily's face.

"I see why you want to adopt him then." She reached out placing her hand over their linked hands. "I think this is a great thing. I'm happy for the both of you."

0000000000

Li was on his bed crying. One of the Sisters had just come in and informed him that he was being adopted. He didn't want to leave the orphanage. He liked it here where Duo and Heero were. He loved being with the pair.

The door to the boy's room opened, Duo's head peaking in over at him. "Li? What's wrong?" Duo asked as he entered the room, followed by Heero.

"I've been adopted," the boy cried out.

"But that's a good thing," Duo explained to him sitting next to him, Heero sitting on the other side of the boy.

"No it's not," Li sobbed out. "I don't want to be adopted. I want to stay here with you and Yuy-san."

Duo blinked and started laughing. Li stared up at the braided boy and the glanced over to Heero.

"You won't be leaving the orphanage," Heero explained to the boy.

"I won't?" Li asked, rubbing his eyes of his tears.

"No, because me and Duo are the ones adopting you."

"You… and Maxwell-san?"

"Hai," Duo answered. "We're your parents now." He smiled over at Heero, his partner for life, and knew this was just the beginning. They had the rest of their lives ahead of them, and not once would Duo let go of Heero, ever again, especially when they now both shared a son.

The couple walked out of the room to allow Li the time to pack up what few things he had so he could move into his new room which would of course be located right across from Duo's and Heero's room.

Heero pulled the braided boy into his embrace, placing a soft kiss on his lips. "We're a family now," Heero told the boy and Duo nodded, leaning in for another kiss. "I love you Duo."

"And I love you Heero."

AN: Well? How was it? Please let me know if I should do a sequel or not. Thank you everyone! Review please!
