Sorry for the lateness of this chapter. I have had it moving around my head and it was just a matter of putting it down. This seemed to be a fitting ending to the story.

Gunter was sure that being buried alive while Gwendal was in labor was a good thing. If nothing else it proved that Gwendal was still thinking of him. In fact it gave Gunter hope for the future if only because he was being spared from having to watch Gwendal go through all the pain of child birth. Though Gunther would have enjoyed the ability to be able to see what the baby would look like, his anxiety over the baby's soul non-withstanding.

As the screams from above him got louder Gunther just breathed deeply and tried to get comfortable. He found himself talking out loud and telling Gwendal everything he wanted to say.

"I have been in love before but I think you are my soul mate not just my lover. I know that you probably won't believe me. After everything that has gone on between us I am surprised that you haven't given me grief about it. You see me. Nothing could change that."

As he started to rise out of the ground, Gunter got a sense of everything going quieter and more peaceful. Finally a lone cry ripped through the air and Gunter turned to see Gwendal staring transfixed at a softly crying bundle in his arms.

Sitting up, Gunter crawled over to Gwendal's bedside. All the world faded away but the carefully swaddled bundle in Gwendal's arms.

From the doorway, Wolfram sniffed lightly at how cute the picture was in front of him. Yuuri snuggled up behind him happily, slightly envious.

"They look like their own little family." Yuuri whispered in Wolfram's ear.

"Yes they do." Wolfram responded wistfully.

"What would you say if we went and practiced for our own family?" Yuuri smiled into Wolfram's neck as he contemplated the image of Wolfram pregnant with his child.

"I don't think we have to try very hard." Wolfram smiled privately to himself before squeezing Yuuri's hands and leading him away.

"Wow if Gwendal buried Gunter alive when he went into labor what do you think Wolfram will do to Yuuri?" Shori mused.

"Set him on fire more than likely. I think it would be a good idea if when that happens we just put Yuuri in a flame retardant suit and resign him to losing the fine hairs on his body." Murata smirked leaning against the doorway.

"So not to break up the happy family moment but is the baby a girl, boy or a happy medium?" Shori called as he walked in the delivery room.

"He is perfect, absolutely beautiful." Gwendal responded in awe of the perfect ten pound bundle in his arms. White hair and deep gray eyes looked up at Gwendal with an almost unearthly watchfulness.

"What are we going to call you?" Gunter mused. "I mean we talked about many different names but we never actually decided on anything definite. There are a lot of family names we can choose from."

"Hisao?" Shori queried and found himself buried up to his neck in the ground quite suddenly.

"You do realize that the floor is going to have to be redone." Murata chuckled not in the least bit phased by Shori's incarceration.

"Hormones." Gwendal deadpanned. "If anyone complains just say my hormones got the better of me during labor."

"We could always say that you were in the nesting stages of pregnancy and didn't like the tile?" Shori remarked helpfully beginning to pull himself out of the ground only to be dragged back down for his comment.

Epilogue:

"You CHEATER!" Wolfram bellowed as he wallowed down the hallway all exposed flames flared up in his irritation.

"Some things never change." Murata sighed. Stepping smoothly out of the fountain and accepting the towel from a waiting servant.

"Isn't that the truth." Yuuri mumbled from behind a nearby shrub that quickly went up in flames.

"You!" Wolfram pointed threateningly at Yuuri, his eyes practically ablaze with his fury.

"Wolfram my fiery husband you look particularly edible today." Yuuri spoke quietly and pulled a bouquet of flowers out from behind his back. "For you."

When Wolfram sniffed and marched away, Yuuri let out a small sigh of relief.

Turning to Murata he raised an eyebrow. "I thought you were going to stay on Earth for a while…"

"Time runs differently there remember." Murata started walking and Yuuri fell into step with him.

"Yes I do but I also remember Shori saying that he would be damned if you jumped worlds by yourself again." Yuuri gave his friend a searching look.

"All you seem to do is get in trouble when you change worlds by yourself." Gwendal rumbled as he strolled down the hallway towards them.

"Well look who can fit back into his old military uniform." Murata deflected the attention but neither Gwendal nor Yuuri was ready to let it drop.

"Did you two fight or something?" Yuuri asked his dark eyes searching Murata's.

"No he is being stubborn." Shori shouted as his feet squished on the tile. His aura was dark and seemed to cause the air to shimmer darkly.

"Murata whatever you did apologize right now." Yuuri murmured backing up slowly. He was well aware what his brother was capable of when angry.

"I don't want to get married." Murata mumbled.

"That is non negotiable." Shori growled.

"I am not having children." Murata growled.

"There are surrogates for that." Shori waved off Murata's concern. "Anything else?"

"I want my own room where you can't go." Murata wheedled.

"Provided you don't use it to hide from me." Walking slowly towards Murata, Shori cradled Murata's face in his hands. "Let's just live and see what happens."

"Then why do we have to get married?" Murata grumbled before he found himself looking into Shori's eyes.

"Because I am dying to live with you as my husband and not just my lover." Shori smiled, "Besides your ass is mine."

Smacking Shori, Murata shook his head, "Idiot." Turning his attention to Gwendal he couldn't help smiling, "Where is the baby?"

"Brock is currently with Gunther." Gwendal smiled faintly. Before Gwendal could continue the ground shook and rumbled. Frowning deeply Gwendal turned around and bellowed, "Gunter will you stop irritating our son!"

Shori, Murata and Yuuri's collective jaws dropped.

"Your son causes earthquakes?" Murata looked at Gwendal with open curiosity in his expression.

"Gwendal you actually bellowed." Yuuri was a bit pole axed by the fact that Gwendal had ever had to raise his voice for someone to hear him.

Shori was sure about one thing.

"Gwendal you are like family but your kid is NOT allowed to visit."

The End.
