A/N::Last we saw of the precious story, Rapp had finally been found not guilty, but Mullen used one of the guns, and shot the boy in the arm. Leen rushed to his side in worry, and called for assisstance, did anyone listen to her cries for help? Did Rapp die? What will become of their young love? ::feels the tears:: oh, it's so beautiful. a love so deep, that not even the two lovers can fanthom it...

Spirit Fox:: Will you just start?

Whits:: alright, alright, sheesh, I was in a deep moment, thank you.

"Hard times can bring the sweetest fruits"

Leen walked into the room of the hospital, looking into the room. She sighed heavily as the boy in the room was still asleep in the hospital bed, his arm all fixed up. She walked into the room, seating herself next to him, laying her hand on his fist. Mullen had done a number on him, and he was lucky that she and Justin got him there when they did, otherwise he would have got poisoning from the bullet that entered his arm. Justin looked inside to see the poor young woman sitting next to her boyfriend, her eyes twinkling, as if she was about to cry. He opened the door, making her look back at him, a slight half frown on her face. He walked over, and sat on one of the seats in the room.

"Is he doing alright, he was shot, after all."

"The doctor said he's doing fine, and he should wake up soon. Thank you for your help, Justin, we wouldn't have gotten Rapp here so fast if you hadn't helped me." She turned to face the red head, a smile on her face.

"I was glad to help, Leen, I didn't want a cute couple like you and him to be seperated so easily. Mullen got what was coming to him, so you don't need to thank me." Justin pulled his ponytail out of his hair, letting the long red locks pour down his back.

"I just want him to wake up, it's scaring me to see him like this." Leen sighed.

Justin looked over at the teal haired girl, and walked up to her, laying his hand on her shoulder, giving his warm smile that pretty much said 'don't worry'. She gave her best smile, and turned back to the boy in the bed next to her. Justin smiled, and left them alone, seeing that Feena needed his support after all. The baby was due in a few weeks, and they expected it to be a girl. Leen watched Justin leave, and then, a groan filled her ears. She turned to see Rapp already half way off the bed, laying his hand on his forehead. She smiled happily, tears of joy spilling down her cheeks like waves. Before he could turn to see her, her arms were thrown around him, letting her tears soak his cheek. He winced a bit, and let his eyes open to see the girl hugging him. He smiled warmly, and laid his arms around her, forgetting the pain going through his arm.

"Rapp, I'm so glad your alright, your feeling better, right?" Leen looked into his amber eyes.

"Yeah, but I don't remember being in the hospital...and I'm kinda not comfortable here..." Rapp looked around.

"...If you don't mind me asking, why is that?

"My...mother fell ill a long time ago to a new disease, and she died in the hospital....that's why I don't like it here..."

"Oh...I see..."

The older boy wrapped his arms around the younger girl, as if wanting to feel comfort in the place he greatly disliked. Leen melted into his hug, laying her arms around his waist, relieved that she could hold him once again. She felt his hands go through her hair repeatidly, letting her silk locks flow through his fingers. They looked into each other's eyes, and as their lips got close together, Nicky ran in, making the two jump. They looked over to see a look of shock written on the boy's face.

"Nicky, what's the matter?"

"Rapp...the...there's....um...."

"Nicky, spit it out."

"Dad's here..." Nicky breathed.

Rapp felt his grip on Leen go limp, at his little brother's words. The last time he actually saw his father face to face was the day after his mother died. Why was he back now? Leen looked over at him, seeing the uneasiness in his eyes.

~flashback:: 5 years ago::

The ten year old boy looked into the room where his father was putting the clothes he owned in his suitcases, a look of pure seriousness on his face. Nicky, around 5 years old, was alseep in the boy's arms. Rapp looked at his father, wondering what he was doing.

"Daddy...are we going somewhere? Do I have to pack too?" Rapp spoke in a soft voice.

His father, who had the same black eyes as Nicky turned to face the young boy. He seemed to look off into the wall, and then walked over to his oldest son, lifting his face near his own.

"No, Rapp...your staying here with your little brother...I have to go somewhere far away, and I can't take you or your brother with me. I've hired a nanny to take care of the two of you, since your mother is dead...I will send you and your brother money, and presents, so be good."

Rapp laid his brother on the bed, as his father began to head for the door. The boy ran for the car his father was heading to, and pressed his back against it, tears staining his cheeks.

"NO! You can't leave us!! Mommy wouldn't want you to go, and I don't either!! Don't go, daddy!"

Rapp's father laid his hand on his shoulder, but not in a comfortable way. He pushed his son to the ground, and climbed into the car, making the young boy run over to the car.

"DADDY!!!"

The car pulled away, driving down the street, leaving the young one on the grass, letting his tears of saddness fall to the grass below. Nicky looked outside, to see his elder brother on the ground, sobbing.

"Rapp brother....where'd daddy go...?"

Rapp faced his brother, seeing the confusion in his eyes. He lifted himself up, and walked up to him, lacing his arms around him.

"Daddy's going away for a while...he's sad about mommy...he'll be back."

"Okay..."

~end of flashback~

Leen looked over by the door to see a man, his skin light tan like Nicky's, dark brown hair, and his eyes black as the midnight sky. He was taller than even Judge Gadwin, and he fashioned a black shirt with dark jeans, and a white and gray dipped vest. Amber eyes and Midnight were gazing into each, one hard, the other angry.

"It's been 5 years, aren't you going to say hello to your own father, Rapp?"

"Fine! Hello, father...now get lost!" Rapp turned to the window.

"....Rapp..."

Leen watched in shock as he rejected his own dad, and looked back and forth from Amber to Midnight over and over. His father saw her, and walked over to her, gently taking her hand.

"Hello, miss, you must be the girl my son is in love with. I'm Romen Istegen, it's nice to meet you."

"Um...pleasure to meet you."

Rapp turned, his eyes filled with rage. He jumped off his bed, pulling Leen out of range from Romen. Nicky stood by the door, simply watching the scene. Leen looked over at the boy who had her in his arms.

"Why did you come here, weren't you happy in Zil Padon city?"

"I was, but your case was on tv, and I saw that man shoot you, and I hurried over here to see if you were fine."

"....Yeah, you wouldn't want your wife's son to die and have my insurance money to pile up." Rapp growled.

"Rapp, I know your angry for me leaving you so soon after your mother's death, and I'm sorry that I couldn't take you and your brother, but you must understand, if I would have stayed in our house, we wouldn't have as much money to pay for the house as we do now. Going to Zil Padon was the only way I could make the money I send you and your brother. After a few years, I'll be able to move back to this town, and I'll try and catch up with you and your brother."

Leen could see the tension between the two, and then grabbed Rapp's arm, leading him out of the room. They stopped near the bathrooms, and Leen stopped in front of the boy.

"Listen Rapp, that man in there is someone you haven't seen in five years, and instead of letting him treat you like his son, you treat him as if he's your worse enemy. I want you to stop, and go in there, and talk to him."

"Leen, you don't know what happened five years ago..." Rapp replied.

"So what if I don't? That doesn't change the fact that he's your father. My parents are dead now, and Feena is the only family I have left. I would love to be able to even have a father like you. Now go in there, and try to get along, do you hear me?"

"....."

Rapp stared into Leen's eyes, and knew she was being serious. He gave in, sighed heavily, and nodded. She smiled victorious, and pulled Rapp back into the room, where Romen and Nicky were talking.

"Oh, you've returned, Rapp."

"Yeah...I know..." Rapp sighed.

A/N:: Okay, okay, I seriously don't wanna do this part, I'm skipping the time a year.

Sugarhigh:: Why?

whits:: because we all figure out that Rapp tries to get along, and now, in this next scene, Rapp and Leen are married, and their expecting their first child. What should I name him?

Sugarhigh:: ¬.¬ you figure it out, and continue the story...

~1 year later:: Parm Hospital~

Rapp sat on the bench, clutching his hands into tight fists. Leen's water broke at the wrong time that day. He could barely afford the tab for the cab they drove in, and their car had broken down, thanks to Nicky using all the oil and gas. Since the little kid decided to use the supplies for his experiment, the car was of no use in the moment for the young couple. The doors to the hopital were torn open as Nicky, Romen, Justin, Feena, and their baby girl, Seme came into the waiting room, seeing the other boy sitting on the bench.

"Rapp, how's Leen?" Nicky asked.

"How should I know, they never let me in there, they think it might be a bretch birth, and they didn't want to endanger Leen or the baby." Rapp sighed heavily, tugging at his trentch coat.

"I know Leen, she's going to be just fine, I promise, Rapp." Feena smiled.

Rapp looked over at the emerald haired girl, and simply gave a smile to her. Their daughter ran from behind her mother, and jumped into Rapp's arms, smiling up at him. It had only been a few weeks since she learned to walk, and she was already getting good at running. Rapp ruffled the young one's hair, making her giggled softly.

"Unca Rapp." Seme stated, as if it was the answer to a hard question.

Rapp laughed, and let the girl hug him, as Nicky walked up to his young little niece, and began to tickle her, making her fall to the floor laughing. Romen smiled, and sat next to his oldest son, putting his arm around him.

"Dad...do you...think I'll be able to raise our child?" He looked at the ground.

"I'm sure you'll do just fine. I was around your age when your mother was pregnat with you, but after a while, we got used to the hard times, and enjoyed every minute we had you with us, even after we had your little brother."

Rapp simply nodded, and looked over at his father's black eyes, a smile on his lips. Suddenly, a scream, and a cry ran through the hospital, causing the husband of Leen to shoot from his seat. Seme watched, as he walked over to the doors, when a woman stepped out, holding a small blue bundle in her arms.

"Congradulations, Mr. Istegen, it's a boy."

Rapp held his arms out, wishing to hold his son in his arms. The nurse laid the small light blue bundle in his arms, looking down at a pair of sea blue eyes with streaks of amber running through. The rest of the group ran over to Rapp, seeing the pair of blue amber eyes looking up at them.

"Awwwww..." Feena cooed.

"He's so adorable, what were you thinking of naming him, Rapp?"

"That's something I have to check with Leen. Excuse me."

Rapp and the newborn went into the room where the young woman laid in the hospital bed, smiling as the young man walked in with their son. He laid him in her arms, as she brushed the few brown hairs away from the baby's face.

"We have fans outside, Leen, isn't that a surprise?"

"Not really, we'll have to share him soon, I suppose."

"First, he needs a name, don't you agree?"

"I do," Leen smiled, "If it was a girl, I was going to name her Aia...what do you think, honey?"

"...I wanted to name him Kohaku."

"Kohaku Istegen...it has a nice ring to it."

"Okay," Rapp took the baby's small fist, "Your name is Kohaku, is that okay?"

The baby laughed, and laid it's fingers out, maying it flat on his father's palm. Leen and Rapp looked at each other, and then shared a passionate kiss, before the husband took the young Kohaku to meet everyone outside.

A/N:: And that's the shooooooooooow! ....x_x okay...it's not the show, it's a story....oh whatever. That's the last chapter, and I hope you people that say you like Rapp/Liete's bite more than you can chew, because this fic is good. hmmph. see ya later ^^ r/r
