AN: This is it. The last chapter. A very short one. But hey, that's all I feel like writing so deal with it. But look out for further stories by me cuz I have lots to share!

Disclaimer: I don't own 'em and that's that. I do own Eternity/Faith, Charity/Hope, David Phable, and the Story. Oh! And I own the mysterious Cup which will, more than likely, appear in a few other stories of mine cuz it's a nifty little creation. And there will be more explaination as to what it is and what it does.



"I now pronounce you man and wife." I vaguely heard the Pastor say. I stared deeply into the eyes of my one and only as he pulled me to him tightly, kissing me passionately, making the world around us melt into oblivion.
It was only until I felt a sharp jabbing in my back did Darien and I separate. I looked behind me, blushing, at my sisters. I turn to Darien, smiling broadly as he held out his hand for me. We turned and faced our intimate gathering of friends at our midnight wedding service.
I looked at my side, seeing Tenshi, Cordelia, Wesley, Luna, the Elders, and a few other close friends I had made throughout my existance. On Darien's side sat those he had become close to during his existance.
"It is my pleasure to present to you Mr. and Mrs. Darien Shields." the Pastor announced. The crowd applauded as Darien and I walked down the make-shift aisle, hand in hand.

"I can't believe we finally did it. We're finally married." I whispered, sitting on Darien's lap and staring at the wedding ring's on our out-streched hands.
"Seems like it took forever, didn't it?" he replied, tightening his hold on me.
"What are you talking about? It did take forever!" I yelled.
"Only 197 years. That's not forever!"
"Close enough!"
"I'll show you close!" he 'threatened', standing while lifting me into his arms and carrying me into the bedroom of what was once my apartment ana laid me on the bed. Hovering over me, he placed soft kisses down my jawline and neck.
"Darien?" I whispered, halting his kisses.
"Yeah?"
"I have a surprise for you."
"What?"
"Which do you want first. The good news or the great news?"
"Uh . . . . the good first."
"As a wedding gift, the Elders decided to cure me."
"You're healthy?" I nodded. "Ren! That's perfect!" he said, continuing his path of kisses.
"Don't you want to hear the great news?" I asked, stopping him again.
"Not if going to stop me from my goal." his said before continuing his previous task.
"Men." I muttered before giving in to him.

Hours later, I laid contentedly in Darien's arms, staring out my window and listening to his calm breathing.
"Ren?" he whispered.
"Yes?" I asked, turning my head toward him slightly.
"What's the great news?"
"I'm pregnant." I could feel him smiling as he pulled me tighter to him and kissed my bare shoulder.
"We're gonna have a baby." he whispered, more to himself. I smiled, drifting off into an oblilvious slumber, knowing that now, everything was just as it was always meant to be. Knowing, because the was human nature.
