Drown in fluff again, peeps! We started with fluff, and we shall end with fluff!

It's the last chapter...Deja vu, anyone?

Anyway, I skipped a lot of things for this chapter, obviously...

I had a lot of fun writing this story…Right now, I'm working on a Vampire Knight fanfic, and it's got a whole lotta angst, a bit different from this one…

Many thanks to: Oncinlity, and Lucifer S., and everyone else who reviewed/favorite/alerted

It's been really fun! Thank you, thank you for sticking with the story!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Final Fantasy or any of its characters.

EPILOGUE

Yuffie had been right and Cid had been wise not to bet against her.

Tifa smiled as she helped the nervous ninja into her emerald green dress. She touched her swollen abdomen softly. It had been a year since the wedding and she was now well into her eighth month.

Unlike Shera, she had taken the ultrasound, not wanting to be surprised with twins when her labor came. The tests had shown a healthy baby boy who, it seemed, had already inherited his mother's kicking prowess. Cloud had been ecstatic, buying every blue baby product he could get his hands on.

"I cannot believe I am doing this!"

She turned to Yuffie, who was standing in front of the mirror, hyperventilating. "Yuffs, relax, okay?" She forced the ninja into a chair.

"RELAX?! Tifa, it's only a few hours away from my wedding, and I am losing it!"

Tifa looked at her in alarm. "You're not backing out, are you?"

Yuffie relaxed a little. "No, of course not. I love him more than anything...But Teef! MARRIAGE?!!! What the hell was I thinking when I said yes to him?"

Tifa laughed. "How about the fact that you 'love him more than anything'?"

Yuffie winced as Tifa threw her words back at her. "Impaled by my own Conformer."

Tifa laughed again and sat carefully down beside the ninja, pressing her hand to the small of her back. Her other hand took Yuffie's and squeezed it. "Look, Yuffie...He's the only man you'll ever love, isn't he?"

Yuffie sighed. "Yes."

"And he loves you, and only you, doesn't he?"

"That's what he said when he proposed."

"Well, don't you want to prove it? This is how you can do that...show that you two belong together, that you won't love anyone else but each other."

Yuffie grimaced at her. "That is so corny, Teef..." Then she fell silent as she considered Tifa's words. A moment later, she straightened up and nodded. "You're right."

Tifa smirked. "Of course I'm right." The two women sat quietly side by side for a moment. Tifa had to wonder at the change in the young ninja. Though she was still as energetic and fun-loving as she had always been, she had matured a lot. She thought things over first before doing them and made better decisions now, and she'd also proved to be quite a responsible godmother to Rocket and Rita (though she had promised to teach them stealth once they got old enough so they could steal cookies from Shera)...Perhaps it was the effect being in love had on her.

Yuffie took a deep breath and squared her shoulders. Then her usual cheery smile appeared on her face. "Oh what the hell...If you managed to survive it, I guess I can too."

Tifa grinned. "What are we waiting here for, then? Let's get you married!"

***

Tifa stood beside Yuffie at the altar and listened to the couple exchange their vows.

"Do you, Vincent Valentine, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife..."

Marlene was standing beside Tifa, fidgeting in her green dress. It was too much to hope that the little flower girl would remain in her best behavior for the rest of the ceremony. Tifa placed a hand on her shoulder to keep her still.

"...To have and to hold, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?"

Vincent was staring at Yuffie, and Tifa saw on his face the same look that she saw on Cloud's whenever he looked at her. Tifa smiled.

"I do."

Tifa could hear Shera sniffle in the front row. She was holding a squirming Rocket in her lap with one hand and blowing her nose on a tissue with the other. Little Rita was sound asleep in her father's arms.

"Do you, Yuffie Kisaragi, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband..."

Barret was sitting beside Elmyra in the second row. Tifa was pleased to note that his normal hand was linked with Elmyra's. There was sure to be another wedding soon.

"...To have and to hold, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?"

Tifa turned to her best friend and saw that the ninja was no longer nervous or unsure. She looked like a woman who knew exactly what she was doing and why. She looked like a woman in love.

"I do."

Tifa frowned. She could feel a strange sensation around her lower abdomen. She tried to ignore it and turned back to ceremony.

"If there is anyone present who has a legitimate reason for this couple not to wed...Speak now or forever hold your peace."

There it was again. That weird feeling...Suddenly, Tifa could feel liquid trickle down her thighs.

"Oh no."

Her voice was soft, but audible over the silence that had filled the entire church at the priest's words. Everyone turned to her.

"Tifa?" Cloud and Yuffie asked in surprise.

Tifa sent Cloud a sheepish smile, and Yuffie and Vincent an apologetic one. "I think my water just broke."

Everyone started shouting. Barret and Cid were yelling gibberish and cuss words. Marlene was squealing with excitement. Cloud had paled and was at her side in less than a heartbeat.

Vincent shook his head. They really had to learn not to bring pregnant women to wedding ceremonies.

Yuffie rolled her eyes. "Here we go again."

THE END
