Life Or Something Like It

Epilogue: Life, There's Nothing Like It

Another 2 more years… (A/N: It helps the plot okay!)

Dearka was, for the first time in ten years, sleeping happily. His life had finally been put back into order. And every time Dearka ever had doubt of this fact all he had to do was remember the person that was happily sleeping in his arms. "Miriallia," Dearka whispered, "You saved me in more ways than one," Dearka then proceeded to kiss the back of her neck. He of course was right, she had saved him in more ways than she probably would ever know. After he had recovered from his attempted suicide two years earlier, she had forced him to give up smoking and drinking, Dearka did this of course with no complaints what so ever. He was just happy to have her in his arms again.

During the start of the relationship two years previous Dearka learned a lot about what Miriallia had gone through after she had left. She had explained she had been going through a depression of her own when she was caring Ami. The depression had worsened when thoughts of Dearka up and leaving before Ami was actually born had started. She had only vocalized these thoughts once to Dearka, which of course was when she had left. He later learned that over the years her depression had gotten even worse when she had been dating Tolle. Something that he tells him happily wasn't that great of a relationship. Miriallia had always been confused about he had always wanted sex, luckily for her and Dearka she had never consented. So after learning of each other's hardships Dearka and Miriallia decided to try a relationship again, knowing full well that they were only truly happy when they were together.

Naturally Dearka and Miriallia weren't the only people happy with them together again. The other person was of course there now ten-year-old daughter Ami. Ami had now experienced three different ways of parenting, the first was when he was just with Dearka, the second was just with Miriallia, and lastly she experienced what it was like when both her parents were together. Something she would constantly remind both her parents. It was due to Ami's prodding that Dearka and Miriallia were living together and she had an almost happy family. The almost would be that Dearka had not yet proposed to Miriallia. Something he had been putting off for a year or as Ami would say ten.

Dearka was of course still admiring Miriallia's backside when she rolled over and snuggled into his chest. "I know your awake," Dearka whispered.

"I know, I just don't want to get up yet," Miriallia mumbled into his chest.

She had of course been talking about the past few days. Over the course of one week they had been making up ten years of not being a family to Ami. They of course had taken a trip to Disney Land. Something Dearka said he would never do in a million years when he was younger. Ami had of course worn her mom and dad out by going on every ride. Dearka had been quite surprised that there little trip went so smooth, being that Miriallia was a ex movie star and him a big business man. Dearka smiled when he remembered Miriallia telling him she was quitting acting and going to be a mother to Ami, and of course return to her hobby of picture taking.

"You do know if we keep talking Ami will know that were awake," Dearka spoke to Miriallia.

"Your point?" Miriallia asked as he tried to somehow snuggle deeper into his arms.

"The point Milly is that if she knows were awake that means we go on rides and play games again and again until we have to catch our flight," Dearka replied. Dearka would of kept talking if the covers on the bed had not been thrown off.

"Morning," Ami said sweetly as she watched her parents shoot up.

"Morning Am… Ami," Dearka said while yawning.

"You heard us talking didn't you," Milly questioned her daughter.

"Only a little," Ami mumbled with her eyes cast down.

"Come here," Mir said as she leaned forward and swept her daughter up in her arms and gave her a hug, "Of course were going to go ride more rides and play more games, right Dearka?"

Dearka of course was enjoying the view in front of him. To him there was nothing like seeing his daughter and girlfriend happy. That was until somebody smacked him with a pillow. "What was that for?" Dearka questioned.

"You weren't paying attention," Mir answered as she smiled sweetly at him like his daughter did not a minute before.

"Oh really, well I'm listening now," Dearka replied as he whapped Mir with a pillow. The rest of the morning was spent pillow fighting between the family.

On the plane home…

"Dear God do my feet hurt," Dearka moaned.

"It was a fun trip though," says Mir as she rests her head on his shoulder.

"Yes but in the end it's good to be going home," Dearka replied as he glanced at Mir and then at the sleeping Ami.

"You know this feels like the time I came home on the plain from Dominion," Mir sighed, "The only difference is that your sitting there instead of a really nice old woman,"

"Really now," Dearka said as he raised an eyebrow.

"Yup, she spoke of seeing her grandson," Mir answered, "Said you reminded her of him,"

"That so," Dearka smirked.

"Yes, I wonder what happened to…ZZZ," Mir had started but never finished. Apparently Dearka wasn't the only one tuckered out from the vacation. He simply smiled to himself and pulled a blanket over himself, Mir and Ami.

Four days later…(A/N: I firing through this to get to the fun parts)

"I want to propose to Milly," Dearka spoke to his friends.

"Milly?" Heine asked.

"Uh, that's my pet name for her," Dearka replied blushing, "Anyway I need some help to make this thing romantic," At this he stared directly at the only three men he knew that were married.

"Well, I took Cagalli to a island resort and proposed there," Athrun suggested.

"I took Lacus to a hot spring vacation and proposed there, I'm also quite sure Nina was conceived there as well," Kira added as he scratched his head.

"Well that last bit I think was definitely not needed on any level what so ever," Dearka said as he coughed, "Well Yzak what did you do?"

"Well you see the thing is," Yzak said blubbering.

"Yzak…" Dearka warned.

"Hey look at the time, I gotta go," Yzak spoke hastily as he charged the door. He would of made it if it weren't for Heine.

"Yzak how did you propose?" Athrun now questioned.

"You wanna know, fine I'll tell you all I did was take her to dinner and ask!" Yzak yelled.

"So my options include fancy ass vacation from the hopeless romantics, and straight to the point from Cupid himself," Dearka pondered.

It was then that for the first time in the fours memory that Heine had offered an idea that actually made sense to try. "Well why don't you take her to the place you went on your first date," Heine offered. This was of course followed by four men all lifting their heads at the same time and staring at Heine.

"What?" Heine asked.

Several days later at the Fair…

"All right we are here," Dearka spoke to Mir.

"And tell me again why you decided to drag just you and me to the fair," Mir replied as she gazed out the window.

"O come one Milly, you can't tell me you forgot," Dearka spoke in disbelief.

Mir had just sat and shook her head sadly. "I'm really sorry Dearka but I don't,"

"Well have no fear just look over there," Dearka replied happily as he pointed to a ride. The ride was none other than the Haunted House he had taken Mir on years before.

"Is that what I think it is?" Mir asked as she looked at the ride and then at Dearka.

"Yup, this is where I took you on our first date," said Dearka.

"I can't believe I forgot about this place," Mir spoke sadly, "This place holds one of my favorite memories," Mir continued softly.

"And which ones that Milly?" Dearka asked out of curiosity.

"It was my first date and my first kiss, both were spent with you," Mir answered as she turned and kissed Dearka.

"Well why don't we go and relive those moments," Dearka spoke as he lead Mir into the fair.

Several hours passed while the two not only the fair but also each other's company. The two had played many games and rode as many rides they could before going on the Ferris wheel. 'Here goes nothing," Dearka thought.

"You remember the plan," Rey whispered to Heine. Being the only two non-married people in the group it was up to them to pull this off for Dearka.

"Yes I know what to do, I pay the guy to stop the Ferris wheel when there at the top so Dearka can propose," Heine whispered back.

"Good just don't mess up," Rey replied with a smirk.

At the top of the ride Dearka and Mir were comfortably relaxing and enjoying the few. "Tonight was amazing Dearka," Mir spoke as she rested against Dearka.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it," Dearka responded. As the too sat the Ferris wheel came to a sudden stop.

"Hey what's wrong?" Mir asked as she leaned forward to see.

"Don't know," Dearka replied, "But might as well enjoy it,"

"What do you mean?" Mir questioned.

"Well, I have something to ask you," Dearka said as he fished around for the box in his jacket, "Ok here goes, Miriallia Haww, Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Mir had sat and thought about it for a total of one second before, "God yes!" and lunged at Dearka.

On the ground Rey and Heine could be seen hugging each other and giving catcalls, they saw it all with a pair of binoculars. After ten years the two were finally getting married.

Five months later at the wedding…

"How the hell did you guys stand this?" Dearka whispered to Yzak. The two were standing at the altar trying to patiently wait for the wedding to start. But of course this is Dearka and Yzak.

"I just remembered that after the wedding I would get to have sex in some exotic location," Yzak whispered back.

'Good ole Yzak, not romantic and definitely not quiet about his sex life,' Dearka thought to himself. As he stood at the altar Dearka looked around and could see all his friends out in the church. He clearly could see Kira sitting with Nina and Lacus, Athrun with Kian, and Heine, Meryin, Luna, Rey, Rey's unknown to Dearka girlfriend, Shiho, and Samantha. If he looked carefully he could see Shinn several rows back trying not to stick out like a sore thumb when he glanced at Luna.

Dearka's thoughts started to wonder when Yzak elbowed him in the side. "Hey, your future wife's about to come," Yzak whispered.

Dearka quickly looked straight ahead to see Ami leading the procession down the aisle as the flower girl. "A ten year old flower girl," Yzak mumbled under his breath. Unknown to him Dearka had heard him and just shook his head. Next came Cagalli as her bridesmaid. Then finally, from what Dearka hoped, came the blushing bride herself.

(A/N: I'm skipping to the end since you probably know what they say)

"If any here believe that Dearka and Miriallia should not wed speak now or forever hold your piece," spoke the pastor.

"I do," Spoke a voice.

"O good God!" Miriallia screamed.

"Don't marry him Miriallia marry me, I'm better than he is," Tolle pleaded.

"Dad," Nina spoke.

"Yes Nina," responded Kira.

"If that man says they can't get married they don't right?" Nina asked. The man in question was of course Tolle.

Kira just shook his head and replied, "No Nina what that man says will have probably no effect what so ever on this wedding,"

"For the last time Tolle go away!" Mir screamed.

"But…" Tolle started. He never finished. The rest of his rebuttal was cut off when he let out a inhuman scream.

There standing in front of him was Ami. "Leave my mommy and Daddy alone so they can get married," at that the entire church burst into laughter. Dearka could of sworn he heard the Pastor say, "Praise the Lord," when several men escorted Tolle out.

"Now does any one else have any objections?" Questioned the Pastor.

"Very well," The Pastor spoke he then looked at both Dearka and Miriallia, "I now pronounce you man and wife,"

With that the two people looked at each other and then kissed. With that the family of Dearka, Miriallia, and Ami Elsman was now a happy family.

After the wedding everyone started to leave for the wedding party. During what appeared to be a rush for the door Luna started to get pushed around. This wouldn't seem to be a problem for a normal person, but Luna was confined to a wheel chair making it difficult to move in the large mass of people. As Luna sat in her chair seemingly forgotten by Heine, her sister Rey and his girlfriend, and Shiho and her daughter Luna felt out of place. That is until someone started to push her chair at a slow pace out the doors of the church that is.

"Don't worry," spoke a voice, "I would never leave you behind,"

"Shinn?" Whispered Luna. As she turned around to see if it was truly him the person was gone and she was safely out of the church.

At the wedding party…

The party was in full swing as Dearka stared around. Everyone seemed to be happy and almost content with their lives. As he gazed around he caught a glimpse of Shinn standing in the corner and walked over to him. "You know Luna probably will see you," He spoke.

"I know, I just came to say good luck with the happy family thing," Shinn responded.

He turned to leave but Dearka had stopped him. "Shinn I was wondering if you need a new job?" Dearka questioned.

"Why?" Shinn asked back.

"Easy, over in Dominion I have a club that needs a lot of work," Dearka answered, "I need a manager who will use my style of managing,"

"All right why not," Shinn replied, "When do you need me to start?"

"When I get back from my honeymoon," Dearka replied.

"Good, now get back to your wife, I think she's looking for you," Shinn said as he pointed across the room.

With that Dearka said his thanks to Shinn and left to see his new wife. "What was that about?" Mir asked.

"Oh nothing," Dearka replied, "Just mingling with the guests," Dearka then proceeded to wrap his arms around Miriallia and hugged her.

At one of the other tables Meryin and Heine could be seen talking. Or at least Meryin could be seen talking about how cute the children were and saying how she couldn't wait to have one. Of course to Heine, this was just going to be one major problem.

As Dearka looked around as he danced with his wife and his daughter who now wrapped joined in he realized one important thing.

"Life There's Nothing Like It,"

THE END

Now as I said I would comment on the situation of a sequel and Shinn and Luna. Yes I'm planning a sequel that takes place after Dearka's and Mir's honeymoon that involves Shinn and Luna getting back together. I hope to involve mostly Astray characters in the fic as the workers at the new club.

Sadly this project won't be done until later after I do some fics in other anime and some games so please look for those as well.

I hope this epilogue was good enough so that everyone got some sort of a happy ending.

Other than that…

Thank you to every person who read and reviewed Life Or Something Like It. Hope you enjoyed the ride.

Later Days…
