Well guys here it is, the FINAL CHAPTER! I wanna thank everyone one last time for both reading and reviewing this story. I am proud of how it turned out, and plan on writing more fics in the future.

On a sidenote, I had two songs on repeat while writing this chapter: "Victim" and "I Won't See You Tonight part 1" both by Avenged Sevenfold. They really helped kind of inspire and set the mood.

Without any more waiting, here is the last chapter, enjoy!

I awoke with a sudden gasp. My hand flew to my belly and rested on its surface. I felt a deep pressure in my lower abdomen and back. I sat there for a moment for t to go away, but another painful roll of pressure surged through me again. My eyes widened as I slipped out of bed to the bathroom.

I splashed my face with cool water before looking in the mirror. It was the middle of the night and the pains were becoming more and more intense. I decided to call Kayci. I tip-toed back to my bed and dialed her number.

"Kayci, I think it's time," I whispered.

"What!" I heard come from the other side of the phone, "I'll be there in a few minutes don't move too much- hold on!" She hung up and I gave a small giggle before another pain spread lower down my back. I winced slightly as I took w deep breath in and out to sooth the hurt.

Kayci arrived in a flash and barged through the door.

"Let's go, I'll get your bag," her exacerbated demeanor was almost humorous. I smiled as I put on my coat and began the trek down the stairs with caution. Kayci stomped to my bedroom to grab my hospital bag, then lock the door and meet me down at her car.

We both sat in the car before she took off with great gumption.

"I can't believe that our little Nero is coming," she smiled as she weaved through traffic. I had a scared look plastered to my face. "I've been waiting so long to meet you little Nero!"

After we somehow made it through traffic in one piece we arrived at the hospital. I groaned a bit as I slid out of the car, Kayci hurried around to help me. She held my arm as we emerged into the hospital lobby.

"What about your car, aren't you going to park it," I questioned.

"To Hell with my car, we have a baby coming!" I smiled as we approached the front desk to get checked in.

Only a few short hours later I was hooked up to various machines with a ridiculous hospital gown adorning me. I was lying in the uncomfortable bed with the pain only a memory now. I had opted for an epidural; I had little tolerance for pain. I breathed in and out deeply, since the pressure was still there.

Kayci was sitting in the corner glancing at her phone. "The doctor needs to hurry up." She had been by my side the whole night- actually she had been with me through this whole journey. I know for a fact that I wouldn't have been able to do it all without her. She looked up from her phone and gave me a warm smile. "I'm so proud of you Audrey, you're so strong. I know that you'll be a great mother."

"Thank you Kayci, for everything."

A few minutes later the doctor entered the room. He wore a pair of blue scrubs and had a really upbeat personality.

"Who's ready to have a baby," he chuckled as he put on some gloves.

I raised my hand jokingly. I was ready for Nero to be here in my arms, to never leave my side. The nurse and the doctor chatted for a few minutes before getting me ready to start pushing. I was both excited and nervous.

"Ok Audrey, now give me a big push."

A sharp cry pierced the air.

My baby boy was taken to be cleaned up. The whole thing had happened in a blur. I couldn't believe it, Nero was here.

"You did it Audrey," exclaimed Kayci," he's beautiful!"

After he had been cleaned and swaddled Nero was finally placed in my arms. He was perfect. He had soft creamy skin, and pure white hair…. In that moment of joy my thoughts went straight to Vergil. I wished that he could be here to hold his son, and share in the love that was flooding the room. This baby that we had created together was a symbol of the love we had shared for that one night. Nero was a symbol of the love that I would always carry for Vergil.

Nero gave a small cry and nuzzled closer to me. What a precious bundle he was. I never wanted to let him go. I wanted to hold him in my arms for eternity.

I eventually had to let Kayci hold him, so I reluctantly passed him off and watched her coo and coddle him. She swayed with him in her arms, he was fast asleep. I daydreamed for a moment how life would be from now on. I would shower Nero will all the love and attention that every child deserves. I would pack his lunch every day for school, and help him with his homework, and maybe even give him girl advice ha-ha.

Kayci placed Nero in the infant bed next to mine.

"I'm going to go out and get us some lunch okay," said Kayci as she pulled on her coat and grabbed her keys, "anything you want in particular?"

"Anything is fine, I'm more tired that hungry," I said as I felt my eyes droop for exhaustion.

"Ok, pizza it is." She left the room and closed the door behind her.

I looked over at Nero feeling my sleepiness take over. I stroked his soft cheek once before closing my eyes to wander into a deep sleep.

I closed the door softly behind me before getting in the elevator to go to the lobby. Today had been such a whirlwind of a day, little Nero was here. "I'll be the best auntie ever," I thought to myself with a smirk on my face.

I exited the elevator and began walking to the front door. I glanced down at my phone again when someone forcefully bumped into me.

"Hey, watch it," I said. I turned to see two men in white outfits walk into the vacant elevator. As they entered the elevator they turned towards me and one gave me an evil smirk before the doors closed shut. A chill ran up my spine. "What a creep." I went to my car and drove off towards the closest pizza joint.

Audrey rested peacefully as Nero wiggled a bit in his little bed. The room was dead quiet. Two men slipped into the room and closed the door behind them. The two men wore solid white pants and tops with thick boots.

The first man walked over to where Kayci had been sitting and grabbed the pillow that was resting there. He approached Audrey with the pillow in hand. The man across the room gave a nod. The first man placed the pillow over Audrey's face.

My body went into shock as I tried to gasp for air. I opened my eyes to see nothing but darkness. My hands flew to my face to find that there was a pillow planted firmly over my head. My hands groped aimlessly; until I noticed that someone's hand was on top of the pillow keeping it in place.

I tried desperately to remove the hand, clawing and thrashing to remove the obstacle at hand. I was getting dizzy now, and stars were flooding my vision. My brain couldn't function right anymore. I felt my fight waning. My hands fell limply to my side as my throat tried desperately to get air.

As I felt a deep pain travel to my head I thought of Nero. The little baby, who looked so much like his father that it hurt. I thought of Vergil, how we had embraced, how he would have protected me if he had been here. Their faces were the last things to permeate my brain before darkness fell over me for the last time. There was no more pain.

The man removed the pillow from the smothered body and set it back down where it had rested before. The adjacent man lifted Nero from his bed and held him in his arms. Nero stirred a little before lying still to sleep.

"We have completed our mission, and must now return to the order," said the man to his partner. The pair exited the building without being seen. Their presence there was never detected.

Kayci entered the hospital room with a fresh box of pizza.

"I am so sorry that it took so long, but I wanted it to be hot and fresh," Kayci said as she placed the box on the table near Audrey. She glanced over at Nero's bed to find that it was empty.

"Hey Audrey did the nurse take Nero again," Kayci walked over to Audrey's side then shook her to wake her. Audrey remained still. "You really were tired." She gave a more forceful shake. Ice filled Kayci's veins as she was shaking Audrey hard and calling to her.

"Audrey, Audrey wake up!" Audrey's head drooped over and Kayci lifted her slightly. Hot tears began to fill Kayci's eyes. She threw open the door to the room then screamed for the nurse.

Kayci sat outside of Audrey's room staring at the floor. The doctor's said that she had passed sometime while sleeping. And Nero was missing for the hospital. Homicide was the suspicion, since the child was missing. Shock was all that she could feel, no other emotion passed through her empty shell. She had only been gone for thirty minutes. And in that half hour her best friend and new child had been ripped away from her.

She gave all her contact information to the police officers before leaving. There was now an empty hole in her life. It was a tragedy, but what could anyone do? All they could do was investigate, but what then? What about her best friend, she was never coming back.

Life would never be the same. A sadness finally set in over Kayci, that would remain for years to come.

"We have the child sir, he is indeed the descendant of Sparda, she named him Nero" said the man holding Nero in his arms. He gave bow before glancing at the man in front of him.

"Excellent, and what of the mother," questioned the leader.

"She had been taken care of your grace." The leader nodded in approval before looking over Nero. He took note of his white hair and slight demonic aura.

"We also have news that Vergil was taken care of as well. It seems that he is in the demon world," explained the man still holding Nero.

"Ah, well that makes things easier; he won't come looking for the child then. The last thing we need is to face against a half-devil. This city of Fortuna shall now be this child's home and life, he shall know no better."

Nero squirmed in the man's arms and let out a soft cry.
