I debated on doing and epilogue and thought "Why the hell not?" so, here it is. Enjoy~
"Hold still, Maka. I need to zip up the back of your dress." Tsubaki laughed softly and zipped up my dress. "All we need now is the veil. You look great!"
"Thanks, Tsubaki." I giggled and looked at myself in the body mirror that was in front of me. "I knew I made the right choice with the dress. It looks great."
"I think Soul will say the same." the raven haired girl hugged me tightly. "I'm so happy for you, Maka." she smiled lightly. "I'm sure your parents are, too."
"I'm just glad that we could have the wedding here in DeathCity." I fixed my hair before glancing back at Tsubaki. "So, how are you and Black Star doing?"
"We're doing just fine. He's been less of a loudmouth ever since he and I started going out, and I know he's really happy for you and Soul."
"Well, of course he is. He's like a brother to me and very over protective." I laughed. "If anyone tries to hurt me, he always goes after the person who attempted to do so and beats the crap out of them."
"Maka, Tsubaki, everyone's ready to begin." my dad poked his head around the corner and smiled. "Liz and Patty are about to walk down the aisle. You should follow, Tsubaki. I'll take care of my daughter."
"Thank you." Tsubaki turned to me and gave me a thumbs up. "We'll be waiting at the alter, Maka."
"See you there." I smiled as my dad walked over and hugged me tightly.
"You've grown up so fast, Maka. I think I'm going to have issues letting you go when you and Soul leave later to go on your honeymoon. And I know you're mother is proud of you."
"I know, and you'd better not stop me." I kissed his cheek. "Let's not keep everyone waiting out there." I took his hand and we walked out from the back room. The bride's music played as we walked down the aisle. I saw a few of our friends from school. Teachers and students from the academy had shown up and filled up almost every seat. Dad handed me off to Soul and stepped back.
"You look beautiful…" Soul mumbled, squeezing my hand lightly. He smiled a little and listened to the priest silently, never taking his gaze off me. I mouthed a thank you and listened as well. We both said our vows and, when the priest said Soul could kiss me, he wrapped both arms around me and did so.
"I love you, Soul." I kissed his cheek lightly and hugged him tightly before walking back down the aisle with him, my hand in his. The limo that my father had gotten for us was waiting at the front of the church. We got in the car and the driver drove us to the academy where the reception was going to be.
"Is it fair to say I still feel like everything that happened to me is a dream?" I asked softly. "Because I find it hard to believe that I actually was depressed and now I'm married to the guy I've loved for almost ten years."
"It's not a dream, though." Soul wrapped an arm around my shoulders and pulled me to him, my head resting against his chest. "I'd be lying if I said it was a dream."
"I know." I remained leaning against my new husband and sighed contently. "I still owe you my life for saving me…"
"You owe me nothing, Maka. I saved you because I care a lot about you. That's final. Let's just be happy we're here today, okay?"
"Okay." I kissed him softly, taking his hand gently. "We should have a family… what do you think?"
"I want a boy before the girl, so if someone picks on my little girl, my son will kick the shit out of them." Soul laughed softly and leaned back in his seat. When the limo stopped in front of the school, Soul got out before I could say anything more.
"We're late… as always." I shook my head and got out. We both walked up the stairs to the school and walked in. Everyone was waiting for us. They were either drinking alcohol or dancing, and when we walked in, everyone's gaze fell on us. We were both ushered to chairs at the front of the room and Liz stood nearby, grinning.
"Soul, it's time you take off the garter." she said ever so innocently.
"Sure." Soul knelt down in front of me and was about to put his hands under my dress when Liz stopped him.
"Not with your hands. With your teeth." she smirked and stood back. Both Soul's face and my own turned a generous shade of red.
"A-Alright then." Soul turned to me again and dipped his head under my dress. He inched his way up to the garter, planted a kiss on my thigh, and pulled it off with his teeth, a triumphant grin on his face as he stood up.
"There, Liz, are you happy now?" I asked, crossing my arms, a little amused as Soul flung the garter out into the sea of people.
"Very." she answered simply and grabbed me by the arm as the music started so she could talk to me. "So, what's it like being with Soul? Have you two slept together yet?"
"Liz!" I blushed. "I-I mean… y-yes. The night he proposed and once or twice after that, but why do you ask?"
"Well," she began, poking my stomach. "It might just be me, but I think you've gotten bigger since then."
"Liz…" I sighed and whispered in her ear. Her eyes got wide and I looked down. "Shush. He doesn't know, yet."
"Tell him when you two dance. How long has it been?" she asked as Kid walked over.
"I think it's been two months." I answered uncertainly, rubbing the back of my head. "I'll tell him tonight. I promise."
"Does he know about the other thing?" she asked vaguely, noting Kid's confused look. "Did you tell him about that at least?"
"No. I should, though. Maybe I should do a good news bad news thing." I sighed. "Do you think he'll leave me?"
"Of course he won't! He loves you too much to even think about leaving you." she gave me a reassuring smile. "I want to tell you something, but don't tell Soul I told you. All he could talk about when I was dating him was you. He was worried sick."
"He was?" I asked, astonished. I turned and looked at Soul, who was chatting with Patty. "I-I didn't know."
"Look, don't think he doesn't care, because he does no matter what stupid things he does. Hold onto him until the very end."
"The very end probably won't be too much longer." I sighed and walked over to Soul. "Want to dance?"
"Sure." Soul took my hand and led me onto the dance floor. He placed one hand on my waist and the other tangled with my hand. We swayed for a while. I decided what to do.
"So, Soul," I began, "I have good news and bad news." I sighed softly and looked up at him.
"What is it, Maka?" he looked down at me, his hand gripping my waist tighter. "Is something wrong?"
"The good news is… I 'm pregnant." I admitted with a soft smile. "In case you hadn't noticed, I'm getting bigger here."
"That's wonderful, Maka!" he hugged me tightly, both arms snaking around my waist. He kissed my cheek lightly.
"There's bad news, too." I said shakily.
"What's wrong?" he pulled back, fear in his eyes.
"Soul, I don't know how to say this…" I avoided his gaze. It would kill me to tell him what I was going through at that time.
"Maka, you can tell me anything. We can get through it, but you need to tell me what's bothering you."
I took a deep breath. "Two weeks ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The doctor's aren't sure what they can do for me, but they don't think I'll be around any longer than the next five to seven years."
A/N: Now, listen closely. I know this is a cliffhanger, so I need to hold a vote. Let me know who is interested in letting me make a sequel to this. If enough people want me to continue with this plot line, I'll have it take place about six years later when their kid(s) turn six years of age (I dunno about twins yet or if she'll get pregnant again over time or if they'll have one kid). Let me know in reviews and I'll decide :)
