August 5. Dear Rikku,
Wow. I have to admit these letters do seem to help some. I just thought you'd like to know how Lulu and Wakka are doing. Lulu was a few weeks pregnant when you died after all. Well, about a month ago Lulu gave birth to a beautiful baby girl! She was born healthy with black hair. She looks exactly like Lulu in every way! You would never guess Wakka fathered her. Wakka said such a beautiful baby deserved to be named after the most beautiful woman in the whole world. So, let me introduce miss Lulia Ann, Lulu for short, of course. You would have loved her, Rikku, she is the sweetest little girl ever! Vidina parades around the village with her introducing her to everyone! It's so cute. Wakka says the next child should look exactly like him. Lulu said, 'What next child? When you learn to carry one for nine months, we'll have another child.' poor wakka.
September 9. Dear Rikku,
So much has happened in the last month! Tidus and I have decided to get married November 16th. Ready or not, marriage here I come!
It hurts that you won't be able to be a part of the biggest day of my life, but I've kept Tidus waiting long enough. I also need something to keep myself busy. The anniversary of your death is just around the corner. It was also this month you introduced me to Petra, a little girl in the hospital in which you were staying who had the same heart condition you had.
You two bonded right away. I remember visiting you both because you were so inseparable. You kept her hopes up and kept her laughing. Her parents said that's what must have kept her going for so long. You gave her reason to fight. I'll never forget the call I got from you only two weeks later. Petra had passed away unexpectedly in her sleep, and you were crushed. In the years I'd known you I'd never heard you cry so hard.
That night we stayed up until dawn holding each other. That night you showed genuine fear about your situation. You didn't know what would happen if you died and you were scared. We talked long into the night about this and it seemed to give you peace of mind on the fact. It also helped that Petra's parents gave you a small necklace locket to remember her by. Looking back, I wonder if this had anything to do with your choice. I mean, I understand, but I don't understand. I guess that's to be expected, though, from those left behind. I hope you and Petra are having a great time. I love you so much, Rikku! Never forget that. I may be moving forward, but You're always on my heart.
