AnimeKiwi369: Here's the final chapter of "Try to Remember". Sorry it took awhile to update. I've been busy with homework, the play, which opens Friday, writing, fighting some slight writer's block, and trying to get through Les Miserables. Almost to page 400!

Thank you to everyone who reviewed! That would be: xSapphirexRosesxFanx, The Queen of Water, DGMSilverAirHead03, Seeker Heart, LumineNightshade35, FiringShootingStar, Swiftflame, and RobotFish. And thank you to our anonymous reviewers PDS and Guest (x2).

I honestly didn't think this story would get so popular! I really appreciate what you've done for the story. :]

Anyway, thank you again. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's or its characters. I just own the storyline and brief or mentioned OCs.

Please enjoy the final chapter of "Try to Remember"! :)

Try to Remember

Chapter 4

Akiza groggily forced her eyes open as she heard the shrill telephone break the silence in the apartment. She sleepily reached over for the handheld phone that resided on the Yusei's bedside table. If he didn't have amnesia and was still sleeping with her, he would have gotten it while she took more time to wake up. But he was sleeping in the living room on the couch or in his recliner; at least he should have been. The redhead grabbed the phone, bringing it back over to where she was lying with the dark-haired man's pillow clutched to her chest. She looked from the clock, which read half past three, to caller ID on the phone.

The hospital.

Why was the hospital calling her? And so late at night? Was something wrong with one of her patients? Nothing had been wrong with any of them when she had left that evening. Maybe a new patient with critical injuries had come in and they needed to go in for surgery? Or was it possible that Yusei had gone out and ended up in an accident? Oh, she hoped that wasn't it! He was already hurt enough with the amnesia!

And she already had enough to worry about. She had to worry about with her fiancé's not getting his memory back and having to most likely cancel the wedding. Then there was the baby, too. She was going to start showing within the next few weeks. She was going to have to explain to the cobalt-eyed man that she was pregnant with his child. He was going to be shocked to say the least, since he didn't remember that night. She hoped he was able to get his memory before the baby came; she didn't want their child to be illegitimate because their father lost his memory and they couldn't get married until he recovered it.

Akiza slowly answered the phone and put it to her ear, "Hello?"

"Akiza," her friend and fellow doctor, Trina Okurna, said, "you need to get down here to the hospital right away. Yusei was in an accident."

"Is he all right?" She asked frantically as she sat up.

"He has some bruising on his shoulders and upper arms, and he had a very minor concussion. He's fine otherwise, but he's asking for you," the woman on the other line told her. "He said he wanted you, his fiancée."

"I'll be there right away," she replied, getting up from the bed, and hanging up before her friend could say anything else.

The psychic slipped on a pair of shoes and threw on her robe, not bothering to change from her long light pink nightgown. She hastily ran her fingers through her hair as a way to brush it as she headed out of the apartment. She hurriedly started her car, speeding from the apartment complex. She had to hurry. Yusei was asking for her. He was asking for her! Did that mean he remembered?!

She hoped he had regained his memories! And by the way her co-worker had sounded, that might be the case! She wanted that to be the case. She missed her fiancé so much. She didn't think she could go another night without sleeping next to him or telling him she loved him or letting him know she was pregnant. A thousand of similar thoughts ran through her head as she raced towards the hospital, screeching to a halt in her normal parking space. She ran into the lobby, knowing she looked as frantic as she felt.

"Where's Yusei?!" She exclaimed, slamming her hands on the desk of the evening clerk, a young woman named Rinah.

"He's upstairs, Dr. Izinski. Room 439," the young woman replied, startled by her superior's harried behavior.

"Thank you!" She replied, hastily making her way upstairs to her soon-to-be-husband's recovery room.

The light in the room was on and the dark-haired man lying in the hospital bed. She could see a thin layer of gauze around his forehead as he rested against the pillows. He looked tired with his eyes closed. But it didn't seem like he was completely asleep. He heard her footsteps and opened his eyes, looking over at her. His eyes met hers, and she could see the recognition in his eyes. He remembered her! Yusei had his memories back!

Her Yusei was back….

"Yusei…" she breathed, her eyes starting to water. She closed her eyes and looked backed him. She smiled tearfully at him and rushed over to him, throwing her arms around him, "Yusei!"

Akiza cried into his neck as she pushed him down onto the bed. His arms went around her waist, holding her tightly as she let out her tears. She had missed feeling the warmth of his arms around her. She kissed his neck as she cried. She could feel his warm breath on her shoulder as his hand stroked her hair. She didn't let go of him as her tears ceased, though she still trembled. The dark-haired man gently lifted his head to kiss her cheek. She pulled back from him, pressing her lips against his. A week's worth of emotions came pouring out as she continued to kiss him.

"Yusei, I missed you so much…" she whispered as she pulled away.

"Akiza, I'm so sorry," he told her, drying her tears with his fingers.

She took his hand in hers, holding it to her cheek, "I'm just so glad you're okay. You're back. That's all I care about now."

"But I forgot the last sixteen years. I didn't remember that I loved you and always have," he replied quietly. "How could I forget how much I love you?"

"It was amnesia, Yusei," she responded softly. "It makes people forget so much. Like I said, all that matters is you're back. And that you're all right." She placed another kiss on his cheek, tangling her fingers in his hair. She gently caressed his head, feeling another bump on the back of it.

He winced at the pain in the back of his head, "I need to stop hitting my head." He chuckled slightly.

"You know you have a minor concussion, right?" The redhead inquired, removing her hands from the back of his head and brushing his hair from his eyes a little.

"I think that's what I was told," he said, chuckling again.

"Well, you do," she told him, ignoring his nonchalance about the subject. "And you apparently you have some bruising on your shoulders, but you're fine otherwise."

"As long as I can remember how much I love you, I'll always be fine," He commented.

Akiza kissed his lips again, "I love you so much, Yusei."

He wrapped his arms around her again, "I love you, too, Akiza."

That Afternoon

Yusei let out a contented sigh as he sat down on the mattress in his and his fiancée's apartment. He'd been discharged from the hospital an hour ago, and it felt good to be back home. He let out a brief moan as he lied back on the bed, his arms behind his head. Akiza chuckled as she came over to bed after putting her jacket in the closet. After she rushed to him that morning, she'd gone home to change into something decent before returning to the hospital for his release. She sat down next to him on the bed, placing her hand on his abdomen. She spread her fingers on his stomach before trailing her hand up to his chest.

The redhead lied down beside him on her side, curling up next to him, "Oh, Yusei, I missed this so much."

He turned onto his side to face her, "I did, too. I'm still sorry for what I had to put you through, Akiza."

She leaned forward and lightly kissed his brow, "It's all right, Yusei. Everything's set straight again. We're together again."

"I know," he said, putting a hand on her waist, gently rubbing her side. "I just feel bad about worrying you like I did."

"Don't worry about it," she replied with a small smile. The brown-eyed woman held the dark-haired man's hand with both of hers as she sat up, remembering something very important she had to tell him.

He looked at her a little confused and sat up as well, "Akiza?"

She held his hand to her heart, making him blush ever so slightly, "Yusei," she started, looking up at him, a light shining in her eyes, "I have something very important to tell you."

Yusei tilted his head a little, "What is it, Akiza?"

Akiza leaned forward and pressed her cheek against his, pressing her hands against his chest. She brought her mouth near her fiancé's ear, "Yusei, I'm pregnant."

The dark-haired man's eyes widened as she pulled away from him. He lightly gripped her arms, looking from her abdomen to her face, which held a gentle smile. He smiled brightly and pinned her against the bed, pressing his lips against hers, "That's wonderful, Akiza. We're going to be parents."

"Yes," she told him, gazing softly at him, "and in a week, we'll be married, too."

He chuckled and kissed her again.

A Week Later—Evening

Yusei lightly traced circles on his wife's stomach as they lied in bed as newlyweds. As Mr. and Mrs. Fudo. The wedding couldn't have gone better. Everyone they knew and cared about was there, happy for the new couple. The psychic had looked absolutely gorgeous in her floor-length, strapless wedding dress with red bodice. Her hair had been put up in an elegant bun with a couple pieces of her bangs hanging loose beneath her veil. Hideo had walked her down the aisle, giving him a reassuring and approving smile as he did so.

The ceremony had been absolutely perfect as they stood at the altar. The vows they had exchanged had been full of love as they looked lovingly into one another's eyes. And their uniting kiss had been the sweetest they'd ever shared as they became husband and wife. They could both still hear the applause and cheers from their friends and family as they were announced as Yusei and Akiza Fudo.

The wedding reception couldn't have gone better either. It had been years since they'd seen their friends. It was so good to see all of them, even if it was only for the wedding, reception, and day before. Everyone had been doing so well. Though it was a little strange seeing everyone after so long, but it was nice to be able to see everyone without imminent danger approaching. Most of their friends were in relationships, and some were even married! A couple of them were even parents!

Jack hadn't changed after all those years. He was doing well on the pro circuit and wasn't going to be giving it up any time soon. Although he hadn't been in a relationship, he was talking to Carly, who was now a successful reporter, during much of the reception. The reporter still had a thing for the blonde duelist, and the now-married couple wondered if the violet-eyed man still felt the way he did about her during the war with the Dark Signers.

He, as most of their friends did, had toasted a long, happy life for them. Jack had even said that when the team went their separate ways, he wondered how long it would be before the two found each other again. He was glad for them though. Like everyone was.

Both Yusei and Akiza had been surprised when they saw the twins. It had been so long since they had seen Leo and Luna. They looked so different. They weren't the two young kids they'd parted with. The silly, protective brother had grown into a matured—well, somewhat—young man who was a skilled duelist. He had started on the pro circuit a few years ago and was doing very well. His sister had blossomed into a beautiful young woman, who was still very caring and studying to be a first grade teacher.

Both the twins had brought along dates to the wedding. Leo had brought a cut brunette named Majorie, while Luna had brought a tall blonde named Daniel. It seemed that the two were in solid relationships, by how much they spent with their dates.

The newlyweds had been extremely surprised when they saw Crow. The ginger was still the grinning duelist they knew. But they were both surprised to see that the woman he'd brought to the wedding, was another guest. The woman he'd gone with was the psychic's college roommate who had lived in New Domino! It was pure coincidence that the ginger had met the burgundy-haired doctor's friend, who coincidentally went by Dove. She was petite with thick curly platinum blonde hair and emerald green eyes. The bird-named couple had been going out for two years and had been living together for the last year. They were also surprised to see the ginger's arm in a cast and sling since he'd needed surgery on his shoulder after dislocating it for the umpteenth time.

However, those facts weren't what shocked Yusei and Akiza the most. What surprised them the most was the fact that Crow and Dove had gotten engaged a couple of months ago! They were even planning to move to New Domino City, since the blond had gotten a transfer to New Domino General as well, and the ginger was planning on leaving the pro circuit to go back to the New Domino police force. Though they had had a bit of a rough patch before the ginger proposed, they were very happy to be together. They were even happier to be able to see the dark-haired scientist and burgundy-haired doctor get married though.

It had been good to see Kalin again. He hadn't changed much since the years the cobalt-eyed man had seen him. The psychic hadn't known him all that well, but knew he was dear to her now-husband and was glad to see him in good health. He was still residing in Satisfaction Town; he had taken care of Nico and West until they were fully grown, but was living by himself. However, he and Misty were in a long distance relationship, but she visited him often when she wasn't at a photo shoot. The former Dark-Signer was glad to see his friend and the woman he loved together.

It was also nice to see Sherry again. She was mostly living in France, dueling professionally there, but came to New Domino and Japan often enough. She was glad to see both the former Signers happy. From the first moment she'd met them, she'd known they were secretly in love with one another. The French duelist was happy as well, even though she wasn't seeing anyone.

There had been a good number of other people that had come, but there weren't so many people that the wedding was huge. It had been a nice, intimate wedding with the people they knew and loved. Everything had been just perfect.

So now Yusei and Akiza were lying in their bed on their wedding night. They were just lying in bed in what they wore to bed, just enjoying being together. The psychic started to play with her husband's hair, snapping him out of his thoughts. She moved a little closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, sighing contentedly.

"I don't think I've ever been happier, Yusei," she whispered, smiling at him. "I'm so glad we're married."

He smiled gently back, wrapping his arms around her waist, "I feel the same way, Akiza. And we have more than just each other."

She pressed her cheek to his, "Mmmhmm. Can you believe it, Yusei? We'll actually be parents in a few months." She kissed his cheek, "I don't even care that we conceived before we were husband and wife. I'm just happy we're married now, and that I can have your baby."

"I'm still glad my memories came back before our wedding," he admitted. "That way I could be with you and our baby."

She nodded, "I'm glad about that too. But you have to stop feeling bad about it."

"Believe me, I'm trying," he told her, pulling up the blankets around them a little more. "It just feels weird being unable to remember how much I care about you."

Akiza looked at him sympathetically, "I know you do." She laughed a little, "It's kind of funny. First we were trying to get you remember and now we're trying to make you forget about the amnesia."

He chuckled a little, "I guess that is kind of funny." The dark-haired man leaned forward a little and kissed his wife's lips softly, "Good night, Akiza."

She closed her eyes and kept her arms around him as she began falling asleep, "Good night, Yusei."

"Love you," he told her.

"Love you, too," she replied, nuzzling the crook of his neck.

Yusei laid awake as his wife softly fell asleep, still curled up next to him. He was glad she had stayed next to him during his bout with amnesia. Someone else might have walked out, leaving him to figure things out by himself. However she loved him enough to stay with him and help him. Yes, he was a lucky man. He knew he was going to be enjoying this. Not just their marriage. But everything that came with it.

As long as Akiza was with him, Yusei knew he could make it through anything.

"Mrs. Fudo," he whispered, lightly kissing her brow, "I am a lucky man."

"I'm lucky, too," she breathed, half-asleep. "Good night."

"Sleep well, Akiza," he told her quietly.

"Go to sleep, Yusei," she whispered tiredly to him amused.

Yusei knew they would both sleep well that night. And every night that would follow.

AnimeKiwi369: A little mushy, perhaps, but I'd prefer to call it romantic. And it's kind of understandable since they'd without each other for a week. But I hope you all enjoyed the ending. I really wanted to put that little bit at the end mainly because I thought it was pretty cute. :]

So, once again, I'd like to thank everyone who read this and enjoyed it. I enjoyed writing this for you guys, and I'm glad you guys enjoy what I put out there. I hope my other stories can do the same for you guys!

Tonight I will also be updating my other two current stories, "Second War" and "Through Bird's Eyes" in addition to completing my update of this.

Once again, thank you so much to everyone who read this! I'll see you all next time! :)
