Hey everyone. This is the last chapter. I'm so excited!It's all going to be over though. But don't worry. I'm certainly not done with fanfiction. I just want to thank everyone for the support because I really was thinking about giving up. But I didn't. This chapter actually takes place like …months later. I'm really happy. I still have lots of time on fanfiction …and school ended like …two or three weeks ago. We got out June 5th and I passed. I'm going to Middle School now, so no more elementary! I'm still 11 years old. Thanks everyone, here we go with the last chapter!
Chapter 22: The Day I Left the Womb
Yuna's P.O.V
Me and Gippal still weren't speaking, and we still couldn't be in the same room. I guess I was wrong. I guess things wouldn't change between us. Lenne was at the end of her pregnancy, and the baby was supposed to be born in one more week. Me and Tidus are still together. What can I say? I'm so happy. This is the happiest I've ever been in my life. Shuyin is going to be a great father, and Rikku and Gippal broke up, so that's another reason why he hasn't been around. It seems like my life is getting so much better with all of these new faces in it, and oh, did I tell you that Lulu is pregnant now? Wakka's the father. Of course I couldn't believe it. No one could, but Tidus is very supportive of Wakka and Lulu, and actually everyone is. It feels great to have all of these friends in my life. Donna moved away too. So many things have happened in only a few months. Me and Tidus are graduating too. I just want to be a publisher or maybe a writer. Tidus, of course, is going to be working in sports. Shuyin is also working. Wakka is too. They are all playing blitzball. Rikku has been kind of sad because of Gippal, but I've been by her side. Baralai and Paine are planning to get married and move from Zanarkand. Paine says she never liked it. I'm going to St. Yunalesca to study. I haven't seen Seymour or Dona. Last thing I heard was Seymour was in prison for rape(yes he got caught, but it wasn't me he was in prison for. He raped some other girl and got caught.) and I heard Dona was going to try going to college to become a fashion designer. It was going to be a great year.
And it happened that day when me, Rikku, Lulu, Paine, Lenne, and our new buddy, Shelinda, were all sitting down in Lenne and Shuyin's small apartment watching T.V, and all of a sudden Lenne let out a scream of agony which made me jump.
"Either I just pissed my pants or my water broke!" Lenne screamed. My eyes went wide.
"Oh God!" Rikku said as she went over t Lenne, "Someone call Shuyin now!"
I rushed to the phone hanging on the wall, my hands shaking as I reached for it. I knew Shuyin was at work. But thank God I got a hold of him.
"Shuyin, hurry! Lenne's water just broke! Were taking her to the hospital now. Hurry up and get ove here!"
I put the phone down, my eyes still wide as we got into Rikku's car(it was surprising there was enough room for us)and sped off, Lenne screaming all the way.
When we were there they put Lenne in a wheelchair and rushed her to a room. Soon everyone got there and we were left to wait in a waiting room, but Shuyin was allowed to go in. I sat beside Tidus and rested my head on his shoulder.
Then I heard Tidus say that I was going to be in here one day and my eyes went wide. I was scared. I never thought much about having kids, and I'm surprised that Tidus said that. But then I heard him quietly snicker at how wide my eyes went. Yes, me and Tidus had already done it. I know, it's surprising. But I don't think I was ready for kids yet. I was only 18, as was he. But enough about this.
And then I heard the horrifying screams of Lenne and I felt sick imagining her birth. And I looked at Rikku and I saw she did too. I felt awkward because we all could here Lenne's screams and the whole room was silent.
Looking at Lulu's face, I knew she felt awkward too, and nervous. She knew she'd be in here someday too.
And suddenly the screams were over and the cry of a baby filled my ears. I wondered if it was a boy or a girl. But then I heard crying. It was Lenne. I heard muffled voices so low I could barely here them. Then a nurse came in.
"It's a girl," she said and everyone let out a cry of joy. I started crying. I was so happy for Lenne. And I was glad the awkward silence was over. And I wondered what she would name her. I had a lot of questions to ask Lenne, but I knew I shouldn't trample her with all of them. I would wait a while. She needs her rest.
….......
Normal P.O.V
-With Lenne, Shuyin, and baby-
"Aww …she's so tiny," Lenne said, playing with the baby girls small fingers. She really was beautiful. But Lenne didn't know what to name her.
"Yeah," Shuyin said, "she's perfect."
"I just don't know what to name her, that's the thing …" Lenne said slowly, thinking.
….......
First thing in the morning, Shuyin had come to pick up Lenne and Arriel.(A/N: Sorry. I couldn't think of anything else to name the baby because I am terrible at names. Sorry if you don't like the name. I know it's terrible but I suck at this and it's pronounced kinda like R-E-L. It's pretty easy. Ar-ie-el. Please, no mean comments about it.) Lenne had decided the name for her. She was happy. She had friends to support her and help her and she always would. Life would be fine for her, Shuyin, and Arriel.
….......
A smile warmed Yuna's face as she held Arriel in her arms. She was beautiful and she knew that Shuyin and Lenne would make great parents. They already were.
The next baby would be Lulu's. Unfortunately Lulu didn't want the sex of her baby to be a surprise. Her and Wakka were having a boy. Life was getting along great. Except for Tidus wasn't so happy about Lulu being so pissy with everyone. But it really isn't a surprise because Lulu acts like she doesn't care much about Tidus anyway …but deep, deep, deep …deep down she really cares about him.
….......
Tidus's P.O.V
I know this is crazy, but I couldn't help but being a nervous punk or jackass, whatever you want to call me. I don't know why I wanted to talk about Jecht to this first. Maybe I was just afraid. Or maybe I just wanted to freak him out. I dunno ….
Of course he was there when I opened up, sitting on his couch, but he didn't have any beer in his hand surprisingly. He actually looked …sober. I was surprised.
Jecht eyes went wide when he saw me standing there though, and I felt unsure of what to do.
"Tidus?" he croaked in a hoarse voice and it turned into a terrible cough.
"Yeah, it's me," I said nonchalantly, "No time for catching up, but I wanted to tell you something."
"What …is it?"
"I want to …marry Yuna," I said slowly, carefully, afraid he might throw a beer bottle at my head.
"Oh," he said smiling, "You and Little Miss Yuna."
"Yeah, whatever. Do you think Braska would be angry with me?"
"No …course not, son. He would want Yuna to get married to someone like you if you two are really in love. He would be happy. After losing both of her parents, I'm sure Braska knows how Yuna feels, and I'm sure he wants his daughter to be happy."
"And another question, why aren't you drinking?"
"Because …I'm dying …that's why. It killed me."
"Oh …" I said feeling on the verge of tears. Was he serious? And why did I feel like crying? Why did I feel so guilty?
….......
"Tidus, Tidus!" Auron screamed as I walked back to Yuna and Rikku's place(I lived there now). I hadn't saw Auron in a while. He had retired and it was summer anyway so no school.
"What?" I said with an annoyed tone.
"Jecht is dying," he said.
"I know, I've already been there!"
"Okay, calm down."
"Why should I care though?!"
"Because he's your father and he loves you."
"Yeah right! Then why did he abuse me and hit me for all of those years, and not Shuyin? Why was Shuyin so perfect?!"
"He loved you, and I refuse to say another word."
"Fine!" I said and then mumbled asshole.
"But he loved you," Auron mumbled and went away.
I finally had made it home, and I busted through the door, tears running down my cheeks.
"Tidus, whats wrong," Yuna asked as I went up the stairs, into our room. I threw myself on the bed and buried my face down into them to hide it from my tears from Yuna. But there she was, tears in her voice to, so there was o way I could hide now, because I hated it so much when she cried.
"What's wrong?" she said, hugging me, tears running down her cheek. I hugged her back. "You know you can't hide anything from me. Tell me now."
" …Jecht is dying."
"Oh …" that made her cry harder.
"No, don't cry, please. It really doesn't matter."
"Yes it does, because you're crying, and stop trying to lie to me! Don't say you don't love him. You know you do Tidus. I can tell. I know you. And I love you. And so does Jecht. And you love him. He may have treated you that way after your mother died, but …"
"Why didn't he treat Shuyin like that?"
"Tidus, you're lucky you did have a curfew! Maybe he wanted to keep you safe! Because he loved you so much! So act like you don't give a damn," I almost gasped. I had never heard her use such language except for when she hated me and cussed me out. "but you know you love him, and you know you're lying to me!" Yuna finished, tears streaming down her cheeks.
I began to feel bad, because I knew she was upset over me and Jecht's death. I went over to her and hugged her, tears running down my cheeks to, and we cried together.
We pulled apart finally after an hour of crying.
Maybe I would wait a while to ask her, because I think we surely weren't ready for it now. Too much was going on in our lives. I would ask her someday though. But not now. Her loving me was enough for now.
Yuna loving me as much as I loved her.
THE END
