Hey guys! Ugh, sorry that it took me so long to update! I had finals, and right after the last final, I went out of town from Thursday ~ Saturday night! And then, a new semester (well, we call them trimesters—sounds like stages of a pregnancy .) started, and it's all been very confusing...

So what I'm trying to say is, I'm sorry for not updating! Well, here's the final chapter—the epilogue—of [Coming Home]! Thanks to all for your support and reviews! I love you guys!

P.S. Don't expect this to be long...my prologues and epilogues are usually short.

Disclaimer: I don't own Detective Conan...but I could...in an alternate reality...somehow...possibly...

=======================================

Epilogue ~ "Tadaima"

A very tired Shinichi stepped off the plane, only to find a very angry and worried Ran.

"BAKA!" was the first word out of her mouth as soon as she saw him. "Why the heck did it take you so long? Do you know how worried I've been? I checked the information desk at least twenty thousand times, asking them if something had happened to your flight. Th-they wouldn't tell me anything..." Tears welled up in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Ran!" Shinichi said quickly. "I had—"

"—a case to solve," she finished for him. "I knew it." She smiled at him weakly.

They looked at each other for a few moments, not saying anything. Then, Shinichi burst out. "Thanks."

Ran stared at him. "For...?"

"For waiting," he replied. She smiled. "I told you," she whispered. "I'd wait forever..."

Shinichi pulled her into an embrace. "Tadaima," he whispered in her ear. She nodded.

"Yes...you're finally home."

=======================================

Well, that was all! You guys can imagine how their relationship went after that. Hopefully you think that everything went well, they got married, had a kid and named him Conan!!! Heehee...oh, and of course, Haibara—erm, Shiho—finds her one true love too, of course! Can't leave her hanging, right? I know that I always make my stories S/R, but trust me, I DO like Ai! She's just so...cool. Anyway, yeah, there's my two cents...make that five cents.
