~ I'm so happy that people are enjoying this! Keep the reviews coming ~

Millie sat in front of an open window, she didn't know how long she had been starring at the sky nor did she care. Vash walked up to Millie holding a cup of vanilla pudding "here I brought you this!" Vash said in his hero voice. "Mmm pudding my favorite!" she said snatching the cup away from him and quickly devouring its contents. Vash smiled as he watched her eat, he found such joy in her company like she were a little sister of his, she could always cheer him up and make him laugh. Millie put down her empty cup and turned to her friend, "she loves you, you know? Despite her nasty outer shell Meryl is really quite fond of you. I know because I can some times hear her say your name in her sleep" Millie confessed. Vash scratched his head and blushed "well I dunno. you really think.I mean it couldn't be.." Millie just laughed. "Ok Mr. Vash I suppose I need to go down to the fabric store, I need some yarn, and some cloth and gee some thread and..allot! Care to join me?" she asked pushing herself out of the chair. "What do you need all that stuff for?" he offered a hand in helping her up. "Well my baby can't just run around naked can it? My big, big, sister taught me how to sew, and my mother would you believe it taught me how to knit!" She said happily. "Umm.. I think I'll pass this time" he blushed

Millie and Meryl walked down the isle of the dusty old fabric store "well how about this?" Meryl picked up a baby blue cotton material. Millie felt it with the tip of her fingers and nodded. "So, how long do we have until the baby is here? I need to brush up on my cooking so that he or she can have good baby food" Meryl asked. Millie waved her hand in a "no" gesture "oh that wont be necessary for at least six months, I plan on nursing" Millie implied. Meryl made an odd face and kept walking, the thought of her friend nursing frightened her. Millie stopped when she saw a figure in the corner of her eye, holding a large cross, but when she turned her head the figure was gone. She sighed and reached deep into her pocket and grabbed something, Wolfwood's cross cufflinks, she had taken them from him, and never left them behind, they brought her comfort and gave her strength.

Once again Millie sat in front of the window, this time watching as Vash played street hockey with a few of the towns children and she watched as Meryl dragged Vash away after being hit in the groin with a hokey stick. "They do look awful cute together" she thought picking up her knitting needles and some yellow yarn. " I think I'll knit a little sweater" she giggled. Cheerfully she began to knit; she didn't immediately notice the icy feeling creeping up on her. Making the hairs on her neck stand up and braking in a cold sweat. "I'm so proud of you" a voice said. Millie looked around but no one was there.
