Oh jeezum it's over! It's all over! And this can't even be called the last chapter because it's too freakin' short! Waahaaa!!! I don't wanna end this! -sob-

DISCLAIMER: If I could own Artemis Fowl...I'd probably screw it up and focus entirely on the faires. So we all know I'm not really the real author. Sadly.

Slowly, Trouble got better. He never returned to his apartment – he moved in with Holly permanently, and she helped him overcome his demons. Grub helped too – visiting often, telling stories of the LEP. Trouble knew his strangely toughened-up little brother (who still indulged in whining sessions every now and then) was trying to coax him back to the force, and eventually, he decided he was ready.

He told Holly late one night as they lay awake on their now shared futon. "Holls?"

"Mmm?" His arm was under her neck, and she held his hand where it lay on her shoulder. He took a deep breath and turned his head to hers. "I think I'm ready to go back to the LEP."

Holly smiled happily and rolled on top of him. "Finally!" She admonished him in between kisses. "I was beginning to think…I'd have to pay the bills…for the next hundred years!"

He laughed and rolled her over so he was on top and nuzzled her cheek gently. "For only a few more days." He promised, kissing her neck and making her shiver deliciously.

"Okay." She agreed happily enough as Trouble trailed his kisses lower and lower. She closed her eyes and wound her fingers into his dark hair. "I have…some news for you too." She gasped.

"Mmm?" Trouble's hands cupped her shoulders. "Is it very important?"

Holly threw back her head with another gasp and swallowed convulsively. "It can wait." She breathed. Trouble chuckled and continued kissing her. Holly sighed gloriously. The news of her pregnancy could wait till tomorrow.

Just thought I'd throw in the pregnancy thing there ;) Couldn't resist!
