This story is now finished. I really enjoyed myself, and thank you all who read all the way through! The epilogue may not be long, but it sums up pretty much everything. I know I didn't add Shea in this story, but I just couldn't find anywhere to put him, so sorry all you Shea fans! I'm thinking my next fanfic is going to be an Okami one, an Amaterasu x Waka. If you don't know about Okami, you should read up on it AND buy the game! It is so much fun! Once again, thank you to all the people who have encouraged me and read the whole story! And please, read my next fanfic as well!
Epilogue
I sat on the beach towel, enjoying the sun. Vaughn sat next to me, watching out little daughter play with Cloud, who was now fully grown. Lanna sat next to us on her own beach towel while Denny was in his boat, just a speck on the horizon.
"You nervous?" I asked, gently poking her little bulge of a belly.
Lanna giggled, then blushed as she said, "Yeah, kinda. It's our first baby."
I smiled at her.
She gave me a look and shook her head. "We seem to be late."
"Late?" I asked, confused.
"Yeah. You and Vaughn have a kid, Julia and Elliot have a kid, and Natalie and Pierre have one. But I don't."
I winked. "Not yet."
She smiled. "How do you think Mark's doing?"
I sighed and watched Raina, my daughter. Mark had left a year ago saying that he had learned all he could, and that he was ready to start his own farm. I wished him luck, and he had sent me a letter a few months later saying that he had found a run down farm at Mineral Town, and that he was determined to get it up and running. "Knowing him, I bet he's doing pretty good."
"Think he's found a wife?" asked Lanna.
Vaughn put his arm around me and said, "Probably not."
Just then Raina came running up to me, yelling, "Mama! Mama! Look what I found!"
When she reached the blanket, she handed me a sea shell. "It's pretty, Raina." I said.
"Can I keep it?"
"Why not?" said Vaughn, smiling.
Smiling back, Raina ran off again.
"She's so big now. How old is she again?" asked Lanna.
"One and a half," I replied.
"So that would mean that you've been married for…" she did the math. "Three years?"
"Wow. Three years. It feels so unreal," said Vaughn.
"It does, doesn't it?" I replied, setting my head on his shoulder.
"So that means I've been married for two," said Lanna.
"It still feels a little weird being married. But I like it all the same. Get to wake up to the cute, sleeping face of Vaughn each morning," I said, smiling.
Vaughn blushed, and he wasn't wearing his hat, so he couldn't pull it over his eyes.
Lanna gazed at him with wonder. "I've never seen you blush, Vaughn."
I laughed.
I hadn't noticed Denny had come back to land until he came walking up. Raina ran past him, Cloud right behind her. She started running around Denny in a circle, and he sighed. "Help!"
I looked at him and pretended to think. "No, I think you can handle a little girl and her dog. You are, after all, a strong fisherman."
Denny smiled. "I rule the ocean, Chelsea. Not kids."
"You'll have to get used to it, though. You have a kid on the way." I winked.
He blushed. "Right."
Raina got tired and came over to the towel, sitting down between me and Vaughn. I put an arm around her while Denny sat beside his wife.
