**Eighteen chapters. . .this is the most I have even written in my life! And I can't believe how many reviews I am receiving from everyone! I'm so happy you all liked this fic, and I'm sad it's going to end in the next two chapters! Waaaah!**
War Torn
Chapter Eighteen: Perfect Day
Sora turned around in her white wedding gown, checking her appearance. Mimi walked into the room , grinning from ear to ear. Even though she was in her ninth month of her pregnancy, Mimi assured Sora that she could handle being the Matron of Honor at the wedding.
"You look beautiful! I can't believe we're both going to be wives! Mimi cried, tears of joy welling in her eyes. Sora walked over to her and hugged her the best she could.
"I can't believe this is finally happening. I'm getting married, and you're having a baby. . .it's almost like a dream!" Sora exclaimed as she finished her makeup. Matt walked into the room in his uniform, his blonde hair smooth and neat for the first time in ages.
"Sora! You look beautiful." Matt complimented. Sora grinned and turned around in the dress, allowing the fabric to flare slightly. Matt put his hand on Mimi's stomach and smiled.
"Hi baby. Aunt Sora and Uncle Tai are getting married today!" Matt chirped to the little one inside Mimi. Mimi smiled and put her hand on Matt's gently.
"Well, I came in to say that the groom has run away and will not be marrying you today." Matt said solemnly. Sora and Mimi gasped, making Matt laugh heartily.
"Just kidding!" Matt cried, dodging flying objects as Sora threw them good naturedly.
"Matt, you're so. . .oh I don't know. . .impossible!" Mimi teased. Matt grinned and slid his arm around Mimi's waist.
"I was actually sent in here to let you know that it's time to go." Matt said seriously. Sora and Mimi walked out with Matt and took their place in the line of people preparing to walk into the church. Soon Sora was alone, everyone else had taken their places in the front of the church. She looked in through the alcove to see Tai standing nervously at the altar, his best dress uniform on.
"Well. . .here we go." Sora whispered as her parents took her arms and led her down the aisle. General Takenouchi gave Sora to Tai, who was beaming.
"You look stunning. Like the night I met you." Tai whispered softly. Sora blushed and stood beside her only love as the minister began his service. Time seemed to stand still as Sora and Tai exchanged their vows. Finally, the minister declared them husband and wife.
"You may kiss your bride." The minister said. Tai and Sora leaned in to kiss, but Mimi cried out in pain. They both turned to her, where she was bracing herself against a banister. Matt sprinted to her side, holding her up.
"We have to go, Matt!" Mimi cried, fear paralyzing her body. Tai and Sora rushed with Mimi and Mat out of the church. They stopped at the entrance when Tai grabbed Sora's arm.
"We have to seal our marriage!" Tai exclaimed as he kissed Sora passionately. Seconds passed, and the newlyweds parted and ran out to Matt and Mimi's car, where Mimi was crying in pain and Matt was cursing under his breath.
"Let's go!" Tai yelled. Matt started the car and sped off. A sign reading "Just Married" trailed on the back of the car, along with some simple tin cans tied with string.
Matt paced around the waiting room. Tai and Sora sat in their wedding clothes nervously, holding hands and leaning on one another. A scream was heard in the room Mimi occupied, and Matt almost ran in, but Tai stopped him.
"She's in agony in there, and I did it to her." Matt said miserably. He flopped onto a small couch and put his head in his hands. Sora walked over to him, her wedding dress swishing as she walked.
"She's going to be just fine. Labor and delivery is painful, but look at what you two are going to have. A baby boy or girl to call your own." Sora said quietly. Matt looked up at Sora, his eyes brimming with tears. His blue eyes showed his pain as he glanced at the closed door and heard another scream.
"I just feel so helpless!" Matt cried. Tai and Sora hugged their friend, trying to calm him down. The door opened, and the doctor who was delivering Mimi's baby walked out, a smile on his face.
"Captain Ishida?" the doctor called. Matt stood up, tall and proud, yet quiet. The doctor smiled and shook his hand.
"Congratulations, sir. It's a girl." The doctor said happily. Matt grinned and jumped into the air, running to Sora and Tai.
"I have a girl! I'm a daddy! I have to go to Mimi. . .I have to see our baby!" Matt said excitedly as he rushed into the room. Tai and Sora grinned and walked into the room also.
"Hey. . ." Mimi said weakly as she held a small bundle in her arms. Matt knelt down and kissed Mimi's lips, then looked at the baby. She was tiny and pink, with lots of blonde hair and big ocean blue eyes. She was a miniature version of Mimi with Matt's hair and eyes.
"She's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." Matt said, in awe over his daughter. Mimi smiled and greeted Sora and Tai, who both adored the small newborn.
"She's wonderful, Mimi. Congratulations. We would stay longer, but we have to be going if we want to make our flight to Canada. We'll see you in a couple weeks." Tai said as he kissed Mimi's cheek and walked to the door with Sora.
"What are we going to name her?" Mimi asked Matt, who pondered the question. He thought back to the dream he had about the little girl he and Mimi had.
"What do you think of Abigail Christine?" Matt asked, smiling. Mimi nodded, accepting the name.
"I can call her Gail." Mimi quipped. Matt grinned and kissed Mimi again, touching her face with his fingertips.
"I love you." Matt whispered to Mimi, then Abigail.
"I love you too, Matt." Mimi added wearily.
Sora and Tai were on their flight, about to arrive at the Canadian airport, when they began to talk about the baby.
"She was perfect. Matt and Mimi are lucky." Tai said. Sora nodded and looked at Tai sweetly.
"Can we have one?" Sora asked. Tai looked at Sora, who kissed his shocked face.
"Are you ready?" Tai asked. Sora nodded, and Tai grinned.
"Alright. We'll have a baby too." Tai replied as he kissed Sora gently on the lips.
**Okay, so this is the last chapter! JUST KIDDING! There's one more chapter coming, so watch for it. It's an epilogue telling you what happened to Sora, Tai, Mimi and Matt ten years after the war. I hope you all liked this fic as much as I liked writing it. This was a blast to write, and I never knew it would become so popular. Thanks again, and don't forget to read my other fics!**
