Chapter 13~ Epilogue of "Only Hope"
Author's Note: Ok, right now I don't have the internet *sobs* BUT I do now since this is here, but when I typed this up I guessed and used the 'married' ending, ok? So DON'T blame me if this isn't what you want! I'm sorry! And I meant to type 'Epilogue', NOT 'Sequel'. So, there isn't a sequel, unless you readers really want one, so there. Now you can read. [Unless you already started.]
~~~~~ MUST READ: Ok people, I wrote this while I lost my internet [that's why I didn't post for the longest time], but if you want the double wedding, I'll write that for the 2nd ending, k? This is the first ending, the 'fairy tale' one. Hope you like it! THANKS FOR THE ADVICE AND THE SUGGESTIONS! The one by 'Shannan' was the best: "…depending on where you start it off depends on the rest of the story. i think maybe (not positive) matt should run outa the hospital, get flat a$$ drunk, and ends up sleeping with some other chick. not knowing what to do, he goes to Tai for advice, who tells Sora, who tells Mimi. perhaps make it a little angsty or what." Who else wants her totally awesome idea?!?! Man! I forgot what I was going to say…oh yeah, here's one, THANKS FOR Y'ALL STICKING WITH ME! But that wasn't what I forgot, uh, now it's bugging me! GOOD! I remembered!
I thank you all for reviewing, cause I think a week ago, I checked and got 92, now 108? You guys are TOTALLY awesome! There we go.
Epilogue: "…till the end of our lives."
"Matt…that baby was yours."
Matt zoned out totally. Yeah, he just heard what Mimi told him, but he didn't want to believe it.
"I…I don't know what to say." Matt replied as he stared at nothing.
"Well…I don't know either. To much trauma! To much trauma!" Mimi said as she shook her head back and forth.
"Let me see it." Matt said as he snapped back to reality.
"What, so now you're ready for it?"
"Let. Me. See. It."
"Fine Matt, don't faint, cause it was yours, NOT Joe's." Mimi said as she held out her hand for Matt to take the folder.
Matt read the through the contents of the folder and still couldn't believe that that was HIS child, even though the proof was right under his nose. "I still don't believe it."
"Well, what else is there to believe? The proof is right in their hands!"
"Yeah, that doesn't answer a thing."
"That answers everything." Mimi replied.
"Well for one thing, how did they do the DNA test? The baby…well…you know the day you got hit."
"How should I know? I'm not a doctor." Mimi said as she crossed her arms.
"Oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm—"
"Cut it out Matt! What IS your problem?"
"I rejected my own kid! I'm a monster!" Matt said.
"Well, you didn't know that it was your child, Matt. And anyways, if I remember…"
"Yeah, yeah…it was before I left---"
"AND before Joe did that to me! Uh! Why didn't I think of the situation fully? I'm such a moron!" Mimi said as she slapped her forehead, and mumbled. "I'm a moron, I'm a moron, I'm a moron…"
"You know Mimi, this isn't helping!" Matt complained.
"I know…but I'm a moron of a was-to-be-mother!" Mimi cried as tears spilled. Matt walked over to Mimi and sat down on the bed beside her and wrapped his arms around Mimi's body and tried to comfort her as his mind was still confused and shocked and thought about the situation.
Mimi felt a pair of warm arms wrap around her body and she willingly let her body fall into them. She was still wracked with sobs, even though she kept strong till now, she couldn't control it. Her future had done a complete 180 all because of one event. Now she was hoping that it would do another 180 so her life would be back to normal again with Matt.
'I'm sorry baby…you could have had a normal life and all but your mommy was stupid. Please forgive her.' Mimi thought, and the thought alone made her cry even more.
"Mimi…it's not your fault…" Matt said.
"Yes it is! I wouldn't be sitting here in this bed right now if I went back to 4 ½ months ago and changed everything."
"No…a tiny bit of this is my fault, and most of it is Joe's fault. You just got stuck in the middle."
"Well, I hate being in the middle of this!" Mimi replied as she tried to stop crying her heart out. "Can you ever forgive me?"
"Well…one thing first; can you ever forgive me?" Matt asked as he lifted Mimi's face up with his index finger so they were eye-to-eye.
"What if I said yes?"
"What if I said yes?" Matt said with a slight smirk.
"What would I have to do to make all this shit I've caused you go away?" Mimi said with a grin.
"What if I request for you to be mine again?" Matt answered.
"What if I reclined the deal?" Mimi said with narrowed eyes.
Matt frowned and whispered into her ear. "I won't let you."
"What if I decided to call it quits for real?"
"I won't let you." Matt said with harshly.
"What if I--" Mimi started then was cut off by Matt with a passionate kiss that left them breathless.
"Matt…does…this mean I resume…my position as…'fiancé'?" Mimi asked with a slight smile.
"Well…that is if you want to."
"Alright buddy, that sounds like a great offer!" Mimi accepted with a bright smile that reached her eyes.
~-*1 YEAR LATER*-~[Mimi's parents house]
Matt and Mimi both decided to take things slower and learned to trust each other, and a whole entire year after the incident happened rolled by.
"MIMI! HURRY UP!" Sora yelled at her best friend who was going to married in less than an hour as she was waiting impatiently at the door.
"I'M COMING!" Mimi yelled back at Sora as she was making her way down the stairs very, very slowly. Mimi wore a white dress that fit her perfectly. It had spaghetti straps and a small v-shaped neckline and the bottom was poofy, but not a huge poof. The bottom also had glittery beads decorated all around and went up the first 5 inches of the dress. Sora and the other girls had a [can you guess?] light pink coloured dress on and also had sash around them.
"Isn't she just like a princess?" Yolie [is that how you spell it?] gushed as her 'sister' was walking down the stairs holding Mimi's train since she didn't want it to get dirty yet. [Is that what it is? I know it starts with a 't']
Sora smirked. "Yeah, she's really pretty, but if she were to walk a little bit faster, THAN she'll be a real princess."
"Sora's mad at me on my wedding day! Bad luck is wearing on me! I didn't mean to break the mirror!" Mimi said worriedly. [Breaking a mirror is bad luck? Not sure bout that one…]
"I'm not mad, it's just your walking ever so slowly…you're only on the second step…from the top!"
"Well, I just don't want to trip, fall, and kill myself since bad luck is already here!"
"How do I live through all these years?" Sora said sarcastically.
Kari leaned over and whispered to Sora, "Sora…now she's going to walk twice as slow!"
"Me and my big impatient side!" Sora mumbled.
5 minutes later, the bride finally made her way down the stairs.
"Honey, you look beautiful!" Her mother complimented.
"Thanks mom."
The ladies made their way to the church in a limo with 15 minutes to spare. Sora took a quick peek at the church and saw that it was packed with people. 15 minutes flew by and the wedding started.
~-*-~-*-~
"Matt, you scared?" Tai teased.
"Scared? I think not. I think the one who is scared is you 'cause you still haven't asked Sora yet. Ha ha!"
"Matt, that is NOT funny! And it is NOT a funny thing to be laughing about!" Tai replied as he was 'steamed.' "You bring up that subject one more time and I will so call it quits with this 'best-man' job!"
"Hey, no prob! I had a back up all along! I thought that if you were to bail, my bro TK could fit the job nicely."
"……"
"Yo bro! Time to hit the run way!" TK shouted at Tai and Matt since they were still in the room. TK and Davis went out already and met up with Yolie. [Yeah yeah, and everyone takes their place]
"Daddy, what do I look like?" Mimi asked as her arm was looped into her father's.
"Like the princess I raised up to be." Her father responded.
"Oh daddy, I---"
"That's our cue." Her father cut her off as she smiled brightly and started to walk her way up to the front. Her father wore a sad, happy, and most-of-all proud smile for his daughter. He didn't want to giver her away just yet, but he knew he had to some time.
Matt's eyes never left Mimi's as he slowly watched her walk to the front. She was beautiful. He waited his whole entire life for this and it was finally happening.
Mimi and her father walked the walked, and now it was the time to step up to the front. Her father [what's that word? Got it!] lifted the veil covering Mimi's face and kissed her on the cheek.
"I love you Mimi." He whispered.
"Comin' right back at 'cha." She whispered back to him before he left to go sit in his seat. She turned around to face Matt and she took his hand.
"Dearly beloved, we are here today to celebrate the wedding of Mr. Yamato Ishida and Ms. Mimi Tachikawa. These two have made it this far and now are going to step even further into their love by…" [blah blah blah blah, the speech goes on till…]
"I, Yamato, give you this ring as a symbol of my love…"
"…and I hope you accept this ring, Yamato." Mimi finished as she slid the ring of his finger.
"These two before me have now completed the last step of this wedding ceremony. You may now kiss your bride." The priest finished and Matt and Mimi both shared their first 'legal' kiss together. [He he…]
As they walked down to the front of the building, Matt whispered into Mimi's ear. "I'll love you till the end of our lives."
