Hey everyone! Enjoy this chapter... please review, and read some of my other fics! Thanks! I'm too tired to say any more....
THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER!!!! YAYY!!!
Within 48 hours they were standing in an airport terminal, waiting for their boarding call. Usagi once again wore her leather jacket. The group of them made a strange sight- Each wore their long leather jackets and carried a laptop carrier, in Usagi's case her's was in her bookbag. They talked cheerfully among themselves but responded only politely to others.
They sat in two center rows together, talking and laughing the whole time. When they reached the airport in San Fransisco, the guys lagged behind Usagi and grabbed their bags as she scanned the throngs of people for her friends and saviours.
"Usagi!" Ben exclaimed, coming through the crowds. Relieved to see him, Usagi threw herself at the older man and hugged him tightly. Ben was about 6'2" with sandy blonde hair and brown eyes. Mike wasn't far behind. He was 6'1" and had brown hair and green eyes.
"Ben! Mike!" she giggled. "It's so great to see you guys again!" The pilots approached and stopped a little to the side.
"Oh! Guys, this is Ben and Mike." Usagi introduced. She moved to stand with the pilots. "This is Hiiro, Trowa, Quatre, Duo, and Wufei." she emphasized Wufei's name a little and slipped her hand into his, waiting for their reaction.
'Please like them, please like them.' she begged silently. The two men looked the others over for a moment before smiling and extending their hands.
"It's nice to meet you." Quatre greeted, shaking Mike's hand.
"The pleasure is all mine." he replied.
"I can't thank you enough for what you did for Usagi." Wufei said to Ben.
"It was a delight getting to know her. She's a great girl." Ben grinned. The Chinese man eyed him suspiciously.
"Did you... and she...?" Wufei let the question drop off. Ben raised an eyebrow and glanced at the blonde girl who was joking with Mike.
"No. Neither of us." he assured the other. A few minutes later they picked up their bags and made their way out to the waiting SUV.
They drove for about half an hour away from San Fransisco. The house that the two men lived in was much like one of the Winner mansions- it was a large mansion surrounded by several dozen acres of open countryside that reached to a beach inlet.
"Cool." Duo exclaimed as the car passed by a set of stables.
"Their horses are beautiful." Usagi mentioned, smiling in memory.
"Maybe we could all go riding together sometime." Mike suggested. Then the house came into view. Ben stopped the car in the front driveway and the group piled out. Two women opened the front door and came out. Usagi looked at Ben, questions flaring in her eyes.
"Usagi, this is Ashleigh and Jennifer. They were away on assignment while you were staying with us." Ben explained. Usagi nodded as the two women approached the group.
"So you're the girl we've heard so much about!" Jennifer greeted. Usagi knew that Jennifer was married to Mike and Ashleigh was married to Ben.
"I'm Usagi. It's nice to finally meet you, and I hope they haven't told you anything bad." she replied. The two women, who were both around thirty, laughed.
"Of course not!" Ashleigh assured her.
"Come on, let's go inside." Jennifer suggested, wrapping one arm around Usagi's. Ashleigh took the other and the three women went inside, leaving the seven men standing around staring at each other.
"Well I guess that means we're supposed to play bellhop." Duo joked, grabbing his suitcase and waiting for the others to follow suit. Ben grabbed Usagi's bag and Mike led them inside.
Ashleigh and Jennifer took Usagi through the familiar house to the kitchen. There was a large plate of cookies sitting on the counter and Ashleigh grabbed it before they continued to the upstairs den. Jennifer locked the door behind them and they took up seats on a large couch.
"You think they'll be able to find their way upstairs alone?" Ashleigh joked.
"Not my guys." Usagi said, comfortable around the two women already. "So we ditched them to pig out on cookies?" she asked.
"Yup." Jennifer replied.
"Cool!" the younger girl exclaimed. "So where exactly were you two while I was here?"
"We were on assignment for the Preventers." Ashleigh said, her black hair falling into her blue eyes.
"For five months?" she asked.
Jennifer nodded. "But Ben and Mike called us and told us about you. They even asked for medical advice a few times." she said.
"What all did they say?" Usagi asked. "You know, about me."
"They said you were an innocent prisoner of war that OZ wanted because you were friends with the Gundam pilots. They said you had already been beaten by OZ and that they found you trying to escape the base. They told us a lot about what happened between when they first brought you here and when you left. The time differences between where we were and here are vastly different and a lot of the time we could only call when it was midnight."
"You know about the pilots?" she questioned. "Boy am I in for it."
"Don't worry about it. We have high security clearance." Ashleigh told her.
"Yeah, okay... Doesn't it get weird though, since you two work for the Preventers and Ben and Mike work for OZ?" she asked.
"It was, but they don't work there anymore. They work for the Preventers too now." Jennifer answered.
"Oh..." Usagi trailed off, grabbing another cookie.
"Hey! You ladies in there?" Ben called through the door. Ashleigh stood to open it for them, and the guys flooded in. They took up seats around the large room. Duo eyed the plate of cookies. Usagi sat between Mike and Wufei. She sighed and grinned as she shook her head.
"Jennifer would you please pass Duo the cookies? I think he's actually trying to be polite for once." she said. Jennifer grinned and passed the plate down the row of people on the couch to Duo, who thanked her.
"I'm going to go fire up the grill." Ben said. "You guys can watch the movie until dinner's ready. Mike, you coming?"
"Yup. enjoy the movie, guys." Mike replied, standing and leaving the room with Ben. Ashleigh took over.
"Okay we thought you all might like to see 'Virtual Eclipse'." she said, turning off the lights and turning on the TV.
"Oooh cool that's like the perfect combo of chick-flick and gore-war!" Duo exclaimed. The others agreed. Ashleigh giggled and then turned the DVD on. Wufei placed his arms confortably around Usagi's waist and she didn't hesistant to lean into his chest.
Half an hour later, Ben called up the stairs and announced that dinner was ready.
"Food!" Duo and Usagi exclaimed together, racing each other down the stairs. There was a long table of food ready for them, with steaks, burgers, sausages, and anything else that Mike and Ben could find to put on the grill.
"Usagi this is what you ate for five months?" Trowa asked, surprised. Usagi nodded.
"I'm surprised she didn't get too big to get on the plane." Ben joked. Usagi punched him lightly on the arm.
"Hey!" she exclaimed. Usagi turned to Ashleigh and Jennifer. "Help me out here! I'm getting picked on again. All the time I was here I got picked on and it's happening again!" The other two just laughed.
"Yeah they told us they gave you a hard time." Ashleigh said. Just as they were loading up their plates, Ashleigh's and Jennifer's beepers went off. Apologizing and excusing themselves, they pulled out their cell phones and quickly responded. When they hung up, their expressions were grim.
"We have to go for a few days." Jennifer said, pulling two pre-packed duffel bags from a hall closet.
"It was nice meeting you all. Hope to see you again sometime soon!" they said, hugging everyone again after they had said goodbyes to their husbands. They wouldn't be returning while the pilots were still there.
"Likewise." Usagi assured them. Within five minutes, the two ladies were gone.
"Do they always do that?" Quatre asked.
"Yup, all the time." Ben answered. The group sat and stood on the back porch, eating the good food, talking and laughing, and generally getting to know each other.
"So Usagi," Mike began. "I heard that you have some pretty big news for us. What is it?" Usagi grinned.
"I'm pregnant!" she exclaimed. Ben and Mike's jaws dropped.
"Oh dear." Ben said.
"Can you imagine having more little trouble-making Usagi's running around?" Mike asked him.
"No! It's too scary to even think!" the other replied. Everyone sweatdropped.
"I'm not THAT much of a trouble-maker, am I?" Usagi asked, pouting.
"Course not, Usa." Wufei answered, crossing his fingers under his plate. A few of the others laughed.
Five months later... (Back at Sanq)
"Wu-FEI!" Usagi whined as the Chinese man put his hand on her large belly for what had to be the millionth time.
"What's wrong, Usagi?" Quatre asked from the kitchen doorway.
"I'm...- I'm...-"
"What?" Trowa asked, eyeing her worridly.
"I'm FAAAATTT!!!!" she cried, dissolving into tears. "Waaaaaaaaahhhhhh! I look like a WHALEEEEE!"
"Oh boy." Duo muttered under his breath. They had listened to this for three months since Usagi's belly had begun to swell. And they had to listen to it for two more months.
Two months later...
"GET! IT! OUT!" Usagi screamed from the backseat of the car. Duo, who was driving, winced and swerved a little.
"Geez Wufei can you get her to turn down the decibel level? My eardrums are about shot." Trowa asked, who was sitting next to the Extremely Pregnant Usagi.
"Sorry! She's in labor, whaddya expect?" he returned.
"GET! THIS! DAMN! BABY! OUT!" she screamed. Duo swerved again.
"Dammit!" he exclaimed. "Which way to the friggin' hospital?"
"Left!" Quatre called out desperately. Duo swerved left and turned.
"No!" the blonde one corrected himself. "Right!"
"Dammit!" Duo swore again. "Come on Quatre help me out here!"
"HELP YOU?! DAMMIT HELP ME! I'VE GOT A FRIGGIN BABY TRYING TO KILL ME! GET IT OUT!" Usagi screamed, reaching forward and grabbing Duo by the throat.
"AHHHH!!!" Duo yelled, letting go of the steering wheel with one hand to try to pull her off.
"Help Hiiro! Help!" he tried to scream as he began choking. The car swerved from side to side. Hiiro, in the passenger seat, grabbed the steering wheel and attempted to direct the car.
"GOOD GOD SOMEBODY HELP!" Duo choked out. Usagi started shaking him back and forth, slamming his head into the steering wheel and honking the horn. Suddenly she leaned forward.
"If you don't get me to the friggin hospital and get this friggin baby out of my stomach I'm going to friggin kill you!" Usagi said in a demonic voice.
"Whoah." Wufei replied, suddenly very afraid.
"Usagi I could drive a lot better if you let go of my neck." Duo managed to choke out in a whisper. She looked confused for a moment, but she didn't let go. Suddenly they pulled up in front of the Emergency Room.
"LET ME OUT!" Usagi screamed, pulling Duo over the back of his seat and into the backseat, then pushing her way past Wufei and jumping out of the car, still dragging Duo by the neck. The others followed quickly. Usagi dragged Duo to the nurses desk.
"Excuse me I have a VERY pregnant woman here!" Duo whispered, his eyes tearing up from lack of air. The nurse freaked out.
"M'am do you think you could let the young man go?" she asked, racing around to the other side of the desk.
"NO CHANCE!" Usagi yelled. Some of the other people in the waiting room looked up, alarmed. They saw an extremely fat pregnant woman choking a braided young girl- no, make that a braided young man- while four others about the same age looked on, seemingly amused.
"Come on, young lady, let's get you into a room." the nurse said. Three sercurity men popped up out of nowhere and pulled Usagi off of Duo. He immediately collapsed on the ground and blacked out.
"Jesus!" the nurse exclaimed. "Okaaaay we got a pyscho pregnant woman out to kill and an unconsious cross-dresser. PENNY!" she screamed. Behind her a skinny nurse dropped a clipboard and rushed around to the front like an armyman reporting for duty. Usagi half-expected "Penny" to salute. The nurse rolled her eyes.
"Penny, take braid boy here down to Trauma while I take the girl to the maternity ward." she said before thrusting a clipboard at the other guys, grabbing Usagi's elbow and guiding her down a maze of hallways.
"Change. Sit. Who's your doctor?" she ordered/demanded.
"Don't have one." Usagi replied as she changed into the maternity dress. The nurse hrrr-ummpd and then left.
"Kami this hurts..." she groaned as she climbed onto the hospital bed.
"Dammit woman I want to see my fiancee!" Wufei exclaimed. The barnhouse of a nurse that was on duty now wouldn't let him go to the ward.
"I'm sorry sir but you'll have to wait until the doctor sees her." the barn replied.
"Can we see our friend?" Quatre asked, a little more politely. "He was admitted to the Trauma ward."
"Name?" barn asked.
"Duo Maxwell." Trowa replied. The barn typed the name into her computer. Then she shook her head.
"He's not in the computer yet; no visitors allowed." Barn said, then returned to typing in charts on her computer.
"She gets some sick pleasure out of that, I know it!" Wufei swore under his breath. Hiiro looked around, wheels turning in his head.
"Oh My God! Somebody help that man! He's bleeding!" Hiiro screamed. The nurses immediately scattered, looking around for the man Hiiro spoke of. Hiiro grabbed the others and dragged them down several hallways until they came to a door with 1376 engraved on a plaque on it. Opening it, they saw Usagi laying on a bed, clutching her stomach.
"What the hell were you thinking?" Wufei asked Hiiro.
"Actually, I just thought 'what would Usagi do to get Barn here off her back?' and we got past." Hiiro replied, sitting down in one of the few chairs around the bed.
"What the hell?! Get the friggin baby out!" Usagi screamed. The doctor walked in just then.
"I'm sorry m'am, but that won't be possible for another three or four hours at least." he said, looking at the chart that the nurse had filled out.
"Nooooo!" Usagi exclaimed, throwing her head back onto her pillow with the most comic of expressions on her face. The doctor left the room, and Wufei started laughing. Usagi pulled out a gun and pointed it at him.
"Don't mock my pain, sweetie." she said with the sickest of grins on her face. Wufei gulped.
Fourteen hours later, Usagi's pain ended. A set of beautiful twins were born- a boy first, and then a girl.
"What should we name them?" Wufei asked, standing next to Usagi.
"Isn't it a Chinese custom to name the first-born boy after his father?" Usagi asked. Wufei's eyes shined.
"You see why I love this girl?" he asked the others. "How do you know that?" he questioned her. She smiled.
"When I was looking at baby names books I decided to research Chinese naming traditions- Which would make this little guy here 'Wufei'." she said, making a silly face at the tiny baby boy in her left arm. She looked up at Wufei tenderly.
"You name her." she commanded softly. Wufei thought for a few moments.
"Seiko Lixue." he said. Usagi smiled again.
"I know that Seiko means 'force of truth' but what does Lixue mean?" she asked. "It's a beautiful name."
"Lixue is Chinese. It means 'beautiful snow' because her hair is white." Wufei replied. It was true, the little girl's hair was white.
"She's beautiful, ne?" Usagi said softly.
"Not as beautiful as her mother, but she'll get there as she grows." Wufei assured her, smoothing her hair out of her eyes. Tears blurred Usagi's vision and she sank into a peaceful sleep.
Usagi awoke in a dream-like mist-filled room. She was dressed in the gown she had worn in the Silver Millennium.
"Mother?" she called.
"I'm here, daughter." Selenity replied, stepping out of a cloud of mist.
"Why am I here?" Usagi asked. Her mother smiled.
"I just wanted to congratulate you- you have fufilled your destiny."
"Okkkaaaayyyy...." Usagi replied, not understanding.
"You're free from immortality, free from the Ginzuishou's curse. When you die, the curse and the Ginzuishou will die with you. Mortals will be able to protect themselves from the evils of this world, thanks to you."
Usagi's eyes sparkled as she realized the full value of her mothers words. She smiled and opened her eyes in another dimension to see Wufei holding the two newborn twins. Her life was perfect and complete.
Duo: That's it, that's the end?
Aka: Yuuupp... Unless someone wants a sequel or something.
Trowa: Really?
Aka: Actually I was thinking of writing a prequel, set in the Silver Millenium or something. Let me know what you all think.
Hiiro: Cool.
Wufei: Awesome! Wufei's gonna get some more!
Duo: Candy, you mean?
Wufei: *sees Aka's glare* Ummm, yeah... something like that.
Aka: Thanks for sticking with me through this whole fic... Thanks a lot! Please check out some of my other fics, too!
THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER!!!! YAYY!!!
Within 48 hours they were standing in an airport terminal, waiting for their boarding call. Usagi once again wore her leather jacket. The group of them made a strange sight- Each wore their long leather jackets and carried a laptop carrier, in Usagi's case her's was in her bookbag. They talked cheerfully among themselves but responded only politely to others.
They sat in two center rows together, talking and laughing the whole time. When they reached the airport in San Fransisco, the guys lagged behind Usagi and grabbed their bags as she scanned the throngs of people for her friends and saviours.
"Usagi!" Ben exclaimed, coming through the crowds. Relieved to see him, Usagi threw herself at the older man and hugged him tightly. Ben was about 6'2" with sandy blonde hair and brown eyes. Mike wasn't far behind. He was 6'1" and had brown hair and green eyes.

They drove for about half an hour away from San Fransisco. The house that the two men lived in was much like one of the Winner mansions- it was a large mansion surrounded by several dozen acres of open countryside that reached to a beach inlet.
"Cool." Duo exclaimed as the car passed by a set of stables.
"Their horses are beautiful." Usagi mentioned, smiling in memory.
"Maybe we could all go riding together sometime." Mike suggested. Then the house came into view. Ben stopped the car in the front driveway and the group piled out. Two women opened the front door and came out. Usagi looked at Ben, questions flaring in her eyes.

"Oooh cool that's like the perfect combo of chick-flick and gore-war!" Duo exclaimed. The others agreed. Ashleigh giggled and then turned the DVD on. Wufei placed his arms confortably around Usagi's waist and she didn't hesistant to lean into his chest.

"Geez Wufei can you get her to turn down the decibel level? My eardrums are about shot." Trowa asked, who was sitting next to the Extremely Pregnant Usagi.
"Sorry! She's in labor, whaddya expect?" he returned.
"GET! THIS! DAMN! BABY! OUT!" she screamed. Duo swerved again.
"Dammit!" he exclaimed. "Which way to the friggin' hospital?"
"Left!" Quatre called out desperately. Duo swerved left and turned.
"No!" the blonde one corrected himself. "Right!"
"Dammit!" Duo swore again. "Come on Quatre help me out here!"
"HELP YOU?! DAMMIT HELP ME! I'VE GOT A FRIGGIN BABY TRYING TO KILL ME! GET IT OUT!" Usagi screamed, reaching forward and grabbing Duo by the throat.

Behind her a skinny nurse dropped a clipboard and rushed around to the front like an armyman reporting for duty. Usagi half-expected "Penny" to salute. The nurse rolled her eyes.
"Penny, take braid boy here down to Trauma while I take the girl to the maternity ward." she said before thrusting a clipboard at the other guys, grabbing Usagi's elbow and guiding her down a maze of hallways.

"Don't have one." Usagi replied as she changed into the maternity dress. The nurse hrrr-ummpd and then left.
"Kami this hurts..." she groaned as she climbed onto the hospital bed.
"Dammit woman I want to see my fiancee!" Wufei exclaimed. The barnhouse of a nurse that was on duty now wouldn't let him go to the ward.
"I'm sorry sir but you'll have to wait until the doctor sees her." the barn replied.
"Can we see our friend?" Quatre asked, a little more politely. "He was admitted to the Trauma ward."
"Name?" barn asked.
"Duo Maxwell." Trowa replied. The barn typed the name into her computer. Then she shook her head.

"She gets some sick pleasure out of that, I know it!" Wufei swore under his breath. Hiiro looked around, wheels turning in his head.
"Oh My God! Somebody help that man! He's bleeding!" Hiiro screamed. The nurses immediately scattered, looking around for the man Hiiro spoke of. Hiiro grabbed the others and dragged them down several hallways until they came to a door with 1376 engraved on a plaque on it. Opening it, they saw Usagi laying on a bed, clutching her stomach.

"You name her." she commanded softly. Wufei thought for a few moments.
"Seiko Lixue." he said. Usagi smiled again.
"I know that Seiko means 'force of truth' but what does Lixue mean?" she asked. "It's a beautiful name."
"Lixue is Chinese. It means 'beautiful snow' because her hair is white." Wufei replied. It was true, the little girl's hair was white.
"She's beautiful, ne?" Usagi said softly.
"Not as beautiful as her mother, but she'll get there as she grows." Wufei assured her, smoothing her hair out of her eyes. Tears blurred Usagi's vision and she sank into a peaceful sleep.
Usagi awoke in a dream-like mist-filled room. She was dressed in the gown she had worn in the Silver Millennium.
"Mother?" she called.
"I'm here, daughter." Selenity replied, stepping out of a cloud of mist.
"Why am I here?" Usagi asked. Her mother smiled.
"I just wanted to congratulate you- you have fufilled your destiny."
"Okkkaaaayyyy...." Usagi replied, not understanding.
"You're free from immortality, free from the Ginzuishou's curse. When you die, the curse and the Ginzuishou will die with you. Mortals will be able to protect themselves from the evils of this world, thanks to you."
Usagi's eyes sparkled as she realized the full value of her mothers words. She smiled and opened her eyes in another dimension to see Wufei holding the two newborn twins. Her life was perfect and complete.
