~kk this is the second part of my story. I hope its not too terrible~
Meryl sat with her baby in her arms. The baby was a girl. Her hair was black, but she had her fathers blue green eyes, and his wacky personality. Milly walked into the room, just getting back from her job as a construction worker.
"Have you decided what to call her yet, Meryl?" Milly asked, the baby sleeping soundly in Meryl's arms.
"I think I'll name her after Rem, I know she meant a lot to Vash." Meryl said starting to cry.
It had been almost ten months since he had left. He had gone to find knives, and he didn't even know he had a child.
"Don't worry Meryl, I'm sure he'll be back soon and until then you just have to hang on and believe in him."
Meryl wiped the tears from her face. "Thanks, Milly." Milly smiled and took the sleeping baby from her arms.
"Now you go and get some rest Meryl, I'll take care of the baby tonight."
Meryl looked up at her. "Are you sure about this Milly?" "Yep 100%. Now go to bed you could use a break."
Early the next morning Meryl went on a walk all by herself. To her surprise she meet Bill on the way.
"Hello Meryl, How's the baby?"
Meryl nodded and said, "She's just fine"
Bill crossed his arms over the big belly of his and exclaimed, "Has that man of yours asked you to marry him yet?"
Meryl looked sad and said, "He had to go away for a while again."
"Seems to me like he left you, you should just get another man."
Meryl looked angry at his words. "He had to leave, it was very important. He will come back. He...." but Meryl never did finish her sentence. She stared at the road that led to the outskirts of town. She could see a figure with a billowing cloak standing there.
"Meryl what is it, what's wrong?" Meryl started to run faster and faster towards the figure.
Sure enough it was Vash. He looked worn and sad, but ok. She ran straight at him and knocked him down to the ground. And between when she continually beating him in the head she managed to say, "WHAT.... THE....HELL...TOOK.....YOU....SO....LONG!?!?!"
Vash was surprised at her actions as well as very uncomfortable at being pinned to the ground and being beat in the head.
"Essh, Meryl, I thought you'd be happy to see me!"
"Damn it Vash I am!" She said as she stopped pounding him and starting kissing him. After a few minutes she stopped and said "there is some I need to show you, Vash. Something really important."
He looked confused as she helped he get up off the ground. They slowly walked back to town his arm around her waist and smiles on there faces.
When they entered the house, Milly was making breakfast, pudding and pancakes as usual. Meryl smiled truly like she hadn't done in months.
"Milly guess who's where!?!"
"Mr. Vash!" Milly exclaimed as she turned around holding a plate of pancakes in her hand. Vash smiled and waved at her.
"Mr. Vash, you must be hungry. Why don't you sit down and have some pancakes." Milly set the plate down on the table.
"Boy, I'd love too! I'm starving!" Vash said excitedly as he sat down and started to pile his plate.
"Not so fast Vash" Meryl said grabbing him by the collar and pulling him out of his chair.
"But Meryl! I'm hungry!" Vash whined as he looked longing at the food. Meryl smacked him across the head and turned to Milly.
"Where is she?" Milly glanced down at Vash who was lying on the floor and holding his head in pain.
"She's in your bedroom sleeping" Meryl nodded as she pulled the whining Vash off the floor.
"Come with me Vash." He sighed and looked back at the pancakes but another punch in the head convinced him to follow her.
Meryl led him to her room and went over to Rem's cradle. He stared at her in surprise not knowing what to say. Meryl hugged him and said, "I didn't have a chance to tell you before you left. I named her Rem. I hope you don't mind."
Vash looked at the baby sleeping peacefully. She looked just like Meryl when she was sleeping, silent and beautiful.
"We...I mean...She...is...You named her.....Rem." he said starting to grin.
"Yep. Our baby.' Meryl said smiling at him.
"You know it's hard to see you as a dad, since you're already so much like a kid yourself."
"Hey!" Vash said kissing her on the nose.
"Well I know you're probably hungry so ill let you go eat breakfast, Vash. But afterwards we need to talk."
Vash gobbled down his breakfast as Meryl slowly ate hers. Milly has gone to get some more pudding at the store. It seemed that she could not live without it. Finally after Vash had eaten about ten pancakes he looked up at Meryl. She had only taken one bite of hers and was staring at him smiling. There were tears in her eyes. Slowly she stood up and walked out onto the front porch and sat down on the step. Vash followed her. He sat down next to her and put his arm around her shoulders. She turned and cried on his shoulder. It felt so good to be holding her again. She made the ache in his heart go away. He knew he would have to tell her about what happened with knives, but he couldn't do It., not now. He would tell her later.
'I missed you so much Vash," Meryl said in between sobs.
"I know Meryl, I'm sorry....I missed you too." he said comforting her the best he could.
She stopped crying and sighed. Then Vash let go of her and looked her straight in the eye.
He pulled something gold and glittery out of his pocket and said, "Will you marry me?" Meryl grinned and nodded to happy to say anything.
"I wanted to ask you before I left, but I couldn't knowing that I'd be gone so long. I couldn't ask you to wait for me again." He kissed Meryl again and they watched the day go by, holding each other close.
Vash and Meryl were married the next day. It was a small wedding with only a couple of guest, one being her boss Bill. Rem was demanding as every baby was so Meryl was tired a lot of the time. One night Meryl lay next to Vash tracing the scars on his chest, thinking.
"Vash" she said quietly. He looked over at her.
"What?"
"What happened with Knives?"
Vash looked extremely sad at her words. Meryl wished that she had not said anything, but she needed to know. He sat up and told her everything. Everything about how he had spent months searching for knives and when he had finally found him. How knives had killed himself, just to make Vash suffer.
He told her of knives's last words, "I am tired of this world and those pathetic piles of garbage you call humans. You betrayed me Vash. You betrayed me!"
By the end of his story Vash was crying again. Meryl tried to comfort him, but there was nothing she could do or say that would help. Knives's influence on Vash had been too great.
Somewhere on the outskirts of town stood a lone figure. His light blonde hair was the only thing visible for his face was wreathed in shadows. "I am not that easy to get rid of, dear brother!"
