Last chapter of this fic. Not joking. It's done.

Miles is Capcom's, as is Phoenix, Gumshoe, and... Anyone else outta the games.

'.' Miles - Friday '.'

The day before we needed to pick up her sister, Tallie and I were lying in bed, snuggling in the dark. When I informed her of the fact that I had no doubt Maralie would approve of our being together, seeing as she herself has a fiancee, she just sighed.

"It's not that, love. Mara... She'll say that it's too soon. That I haven't given myself time to... recover." She shifted under the sheets and reached up, stroking my jawline. "But... I think that this is how I've recovered. By being with you." She kissed my chest before resting her cheek on it. I turned my head as I heard a faint, yet shrill, beeping.

"Bloody alarm clock... Do you want toast, pet?" I asked, kissing her fingers before flipping back the covers.

"Augh! It's cold!" She protested, pulling the blankets up over her head. "Don't look. I'm naked." She said as I turned on the light to begin getting dressed.

"I won't if you won't." I said. I saw the sheets move out of the corner of my eye - she had pulled them down to watch. "Detective Wright - you're incorrigible." She laughed.

"Prosecutor Edgeworth - you're Adonis reborn." She smiled as I laughed aloud. "Toast would be nice." She called as I exited the room.

'.' Natalie - Friday '.'

I laid in bed for a few more seconds before getting up. I walked over to our closet (I love that - our closet!) and grabbed some of my clothes, heading for the bathroom. We had both showered last night (together...) so I didn't need to take one now. I was pulling my shirt over my head when a wave of nausea hit me square in the gut.

I braced myself against the wall so I wouldn't hit my head on the toilet bowl (like I had on Wednesday) when I heard the bathroom door open.

"Tallie!" He rushed over as I threw up again. "Natalie - I'm taking you to the doctor." He wet a washcloth and wiped my face.

"No doctors. It's... I think it's the nightmar-" I stopped. He looked down at me, sorrow in his eyes.

"You're having nightmares? Tallie, why didn't you tell me?" I closed my eyes, willing the nausea to pass. It didn't. "Oh, Natalie."

"That was it." I whispered shakily. He picked me up and carried me back to the bed, settling me down gently. "I'm okay. I just..." I fingered the scar on my side. "I think it's because I saw the scar in the mirror. It brought the whole thing back. I just... I want him dead, Miles. Isn't that awful? I mean... I'm supposed to protect people's lives... Not want to end them." He climbed up next to me, pulling me on to his chest.

"You're more than justified in this case." He said, wrapping his arms around me. "I know that if I ever run into the bastard, I'd make him suffer. Greatly." I frowned.

"Umm... Changing the topic now." I said, resting my cheek on his shoulder and looking into his eyes. "I'm gunna to go check out how the flooring guys did with the kitchen. And I should probably visit Linsie, to corroborate our stories for Mara." He nodded.

"When will you be back?" He asked, his long, elegant fingers stroking my back.

"Mmm... It's nine now, so... 11:30. Ish. So I need to get up." I said, rolling off his chest to get off the bed. I went back into the bathroom to brush my teeth, wash my face, and do my make-up. "Be good."

"Be safe." He replied, kissing me gently. "I'll be gone when you return." I turned, surprised.

"I have a trial today, remember? State vs. Weems?"

"Oh! Yeah... I forgot about that. Well, then... Good luck, love." I blew him as kiss as I headed out the door.

'.'

"Hey, Nat." Linsie said, waving me in to her living room/studio. She was curled up on an oversized beanbag chair, eating a bowl of wheat germ.

"Hi, Lins. Did you take your meds today?" She nodded, pointing to the card table.

"Got you something. Didn't wrap it, but..." She shrugged and lit a cigarette.

"What on Earth..? Linsie!" I turned to see her smirking face. "That's not funny, Linsie." She laughed, smoke swirling out of her nostrils.

"Are you kidding, Cat? It's batshit hilarious!" She took a long drag of the cigarette. "Besides... With a boyfriend as hot as yours, you're going to need it sooner or later." She coughed. "Hey... We ever gunna paint together again?"

"Hmm? Oh... Sure." I said, distracted by the realization that she was right - If Miles and I weren't careful... "I just stopped by to tell you that Mara's coming home tomorrow. And to drop these off." I said, tossing my overnight bags on the floor. "To make it look like I was here." I grinned.

"Won't you need clothes for tonight and tomorrow?" She asked, her smirk returning. I shook my head.

"Are you kidding? I've got a closet full of clothes back... home... Shit! I mean-" She began laughing so hard that she spilled wheat germ in her lap.

"So, when are you officially moving in with him?"

"...You know what? I'm not sure. I'll let you know, though. I've got a ton of errands to run... See ya, Lins."

"Yeah, go ahead, avoid the elephant in the room while you still can." She teased, flipping me off as I walked out the door. "And tell Roo-Roo I said hi, okay? And that I think he has a cute butt."

"Tell him yourself, ya freak!" I could hear her laughing as I walked out to my car.

'.'

As I drove to Mara's house (my house away from home) I couldn't help thinking about the 'gift' Linsie had given me - a pregnancy test kit. She had taped a rather dirty note to the package. (if she wanted Raoul Adagio, she wouldn't have to work hard - she was almost at his level of crass already...) She had meant it as a joke, but... It would explain a lot of the stuff I'd been going through, lately. The tiredness... The irritability... The throwing up...

What if it was...What if I was..? What if Miles and I- I stopped, my blood freezing.

Oh, God - No. No!

I ran up to the front door, unlocked it and ran to the bathroom, totally ignoring the new floor. I shut the door and locked it. (out of habit rather than necessity) I sunk to the floor, my back pressed against the wall. I read the directions on the package, making sure I did everything exactly as instructed. I closed my eyes and counted for what seemed like an eternity.

5 seconds...

10 seconds...

15...

20...

25...

30. Done.

My hands - my whole body - was shaking as I looked at the result. I dropped the test on the floor, and pulled out my cell phone, my body numb.

"You've reached Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth. I'm sorry, but I am currently unavailable. If you would leave your contact information, I shall endeavor to get back to you as soon as possible. *BEEP*"

"Miles..." I whimpered into the phone.

'.' Miles '.'

I felt my cell phone vibrate in my pocket. Thank God I had it silenced, or I may have been penalized. I hadn't been up against this attorney yet - the elder of the Gavin brothers, Kristoph. He looked shockingly like his younger brother, but was far more professional in his style of dress. My phone vibrated again, this time to inform me that I had received a text message. I used the edge of the stand to shield it from the judge's line of sight. What I read made my heart stop.

Mi*Ls - need u maras i m losing ctrl help me plz - Tal*E

Natalie needed me and I was stuck in court. I texted her back.

Tal*E - In mddle of trial - wuts rong? - Mi*Ls

Gavin presented evidence, and it was only by sheer luck that I even understood what was going on in the trial - my mind was with her. A new text popped up.

Mi*Ls - I NEED U - Tal*E

I held back a groan and texted her again.

Tal*E - I cant get out of court. Tell me wuts rong. - Mi*Ls

I waited, wishing that this idiot Weems had found an incompetent lawyer so that this would already be over, when another text come.

Mi*Ls - i cut myself - this is 2 much 4 me 2 take i need u NOW - Tal*E

Bloody Hell. I had only one option: I texted Phoenix Wright, using correct grammar and spelling. I couldn't allow him to know just how much his sister was influencing me.

Wright - Call Gumshoe. Tell him to initiate the escape plan. - Mi*Ls

He replied almost immediately - he was obviously shirking his duties at the restaurant again.

Mi*Ls - Cute n-name. NatLE cum up wit it? ;) Will call Gshu 4 U. - FeeniX

I'll murder him someday, mark my words. The fool knows far too much. About five minutes later, another text pinged in my inbox.

MrE - U wan me 2 flk litr undr fire thngy sir? - Gshu

I had to refrain from knocking my head against the wall. I logged out of private chat and into professional text mode before replying.

Gumshoe - Yes, I want you to flick a lighter under one of the heat detectors. Just try not to get caught. - Edgeworth

I received an almost immediate response; but I didn't have to look at it to know what it said - the alarms had begun to go off. I ran out of the court house and out to the parking lot. I was out on the expressway before the alarms had even been shut off. I sped (literally - it's I wonder I wasn't pulled over) all the way to Natalie and Mara's, almost hitting their neighbor as I turned into their driveway. She had left the door open - something she would never do. I ran into the house.

"TALLIE!"

"Miles..." Her quiet voice came from the bedroom. I ran to our room (not bothering to stop and realize that I considered it as such), ignoring the fact that my shoes may scuff her sister's new floor. I found her sitting on the bed, her left hand cupped in her lap. Blood ran down her wrist, pooling in her palm. At the sound of my feet hitting the carpet she looked up, mascara running down her cheeks.

"Tallie!" I went over to her, climbing on the bed. I wrapped her wrist in a clean dish towel I had pulled from the rack in the kitchen. "Come with me. We're going to wash this blood off." Her lip quivered as she let me lead her to the bathroom.

"Miles..." She whispered. She pointed, mutely, to an object on the bathroom counter. I picked it up and studied it.

"What is this, Tallie? Is this what set you off?" She looked away and nodded. "What is it?" I asked again. She pointed to a box in the trash can. I fished it out. "A... pregnancy test..?" I dropped the box back into the trash and looked at the little device.

And then the pieces clicked.

"You're... pregnant?" She nodded, silently. I wrapped my arms around her. I felt something swell inside me, at that moment. An emotion I couldn't identify. It was elation, apprehension, excitement, pride, and... confusion, as she buried her face in my chest and began to sob.

"Tallie." She refused to look at me. "It's alright. I'm not angry. I'm not angry at all, love. Look at me, Natalie." I lifted her chin up so she was looking into my eyes, and I was looking into hers. "Tell me." She let out a small cry and said four words that tore my world apart.

"I think it's his..."

'.'-'.'-'.'
