-One year later-

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MILLIE!"

Veronica smiled as she cut her daughter's birthday cake into tiny portions for everyone and watched as her mother gently tossed Millie up into the air and caught her, wiping away a tear as she placed the slices of cake onto plates.

Wolfwood wrapped his arms around his wife's waist as she cradled tiny Millie in her arms, looking around at all the happy faces that surrounded him and remembering the day that he, Vash, and Knives returned here with Millie...

------------------------------

Wolfwood stepped out of the car and walked around to help his wife out, wrapping his arms around her and crying. Millie followed suit.

"Millie, I'm so glad that you're okay," choked Wolfwood, kissing his wife tenderly.

"Darling, I'm glad to see that you're okay," she responded. "I was worried about you all this time."

Wolfwood smiled at Millie and took her arm in his, walking up to the door and ringing the doorbell, breathing in heavily and stepping aside; the doorknob turned and the door opened. Veronica stood in the doorway, dropping a basket of clothes onto the ground and gasping as she stared at the woman in front of her, tears filling her eyes.

"M-mom?" she stammered, slowly stepping forward.

"Yes, darling," whispered Millie, tears filling her eyes as well. "It's me."

Veronica wrapped her arms around the woman in front of her and began to cry harder as she realized that this woman was indeed her mother. Millie hugged her daughter tightly as tears stung her eyes, never wanting to let go again.

Damon stepped outside to see what all the commotion was about, nearly dropping Little Millie as he stared at his mother-in-law, who was supposedly dead, hugging his wife. Millie looked up at him and smiled, releasing her daughter and walking towards Damon and the baby.

"M-miss Millie," stammered Damon, "you're alive?"

"Looks like it!" exclaimed Millie.

"Mom, I want you to meet someone," whispered Veronica, taking Little Millie out of Damon's arms and turning to face her mother. "This is Millie Nichole Bonaire, your granddaughter."

Millie clapped her hands together in joy as she took the sleeping baby from Veronica's arms and cradled her in her own.

"Hi Millie," whispered Millie. "I'm your grandmother."

Wolfwood walked forward and stood by his wife's side, holding back tears as he realized that his family was back together once again.

-----------------------------------

"Veronica we're here!" exclaimed an unfamiliar voice, bringing Wolfwood from his thoughts. He turned his head and dropped his jaw as he viewed a man whom he had not seen in year. The man was tall, had black hair with ice blue eyes and stood tall; the man was Wolfwood and Millie's son, Alexander.

Alexander hugged Veronica and froze as he viewed the tall brown haired woman that stood behind his sister. He released Veronica and walked toward the woman, placing a hand to her cheek and gasping.

"Is it really you?" he asked as Millie grabbed his hand and held it in hers.

"Yes, it's me," replied Millie as her son embraced her tightly, freely crying as he held is mother in his arms, in shock that he was actually in her arms again.

"How?" he asked, not bothering to release Millie.

"I had an angel watching over me," whispered Millie as she pulled away from her son and wiped away his tears. "Don't cry anymore."

"I won't. I'm just so happy to see you again."

Alexander smiled and turned to Wolfwood, hugging him tightly and returning to his wife's side, gently rubbing her stomach and smiling. Wolfwood smiled and wrapped an arm around Millie's waist as he watched Alexander with excitement, immediately realizing that there would be another grandchild soon.

"Hey Alex," said Wolfwood, smiling at his son.

"Yeah Dad?" he asked.

"Do you have something you would like to share with us?"

"Yeah, actually I do. Mom, Dad, Veronica, Damon, I have some news. Stephanie and I are going to have a baby."

Veronica squealed with delight and ran to hug her brother and her sister-in- law. Millie's eyes filled with tears and Wolfwood just smiled, sighing to himself and thinking of how wonderful life would be from now on.

He had finally found his Eden and it was here with his family.

-------------------------------------------

Vash walked back outside and smiled as he heard the news of his other godchild's pregnancy, quietly walking up behind him and placing a hand on his shoulder. Alexander turned around and dropped his jaw as he stared his uncle in the face for the first time in months.

"When did you get here Uncle Vash?" asked Alexander, hugging him tightly.

"I've been here for quite a while," replied Vash. "I just called Meryl and Knives to make sure that they were on their way here. Congratulations on your baby."

"Thanks."

Alexander released Vash from his embrace and proceeded to the table with his wife, sitting down and taking Little Millie from his mother's arms.

"Sorry we're late!" exclaimed a masculine voice from behind. Vash turned around and saw his brother standing in the doorway carrying his and Meryl's child not older than a few months. Vash rushed up and hugged his brother and kissed his niece on her forehead, noticing Meryl rushing in from behind.

Wolfwood smiled and walked towards Knives, Millie following close behind.

"What took the two of you so long?" asked Vash.

"Well, we had to get Sophia's things together before we came and we woke up late and today was just a disaster," said Meryl, hugging Vash as she gasped for air.

"Well, we're glad that the two of you could make it," said Wolfwood, hugging Meryl and rubbing Sophia's tiny head.

"Vash, would you mind taking Sophia for a few minutes?" asked Knives.

"Sure," said Vash, taking Sophia out of her father's arms and cradling her in his, thinking back to when he first saw her beautiful face.

---------------------------------------

Knives sat with his hands folded in the long hallway of the hospital, sweat pouring down his face as he anticipated the news of his wife, pissed off that they wouldn't allow him to stay in the room with her. He got up from the stiff chair and began pacing again, running his long fingers through his platinum blonde hair and sighing heavily.

Vash returned with two Styrofoam cups filled with steaming coffee, handing his nervous brother his cup and sitting in the chair that had belonged to Knives. He sipped his coffee slowly as he studied his brother's pensive mood.

"Knives, please relax," said Vash, staring at his brother.

"Vash, I can't relax," said Knives.

"She'll be fine."

"I should be in there with her Vash. That's my wife giving birth to my child!"

Knives sat down next to Vash and slowly sipped his coffee, somewhat relaxing and releasing some of the tension in his body. He banged his head against the wall behind him as two people entered the hallway from the elevators to his left.

"Did she have the baby yet?" asked the woman, rushing to Knives' side.

"No, Millie, she did not have the baby yet," said Knives, taking another sip of his coffee.

"Any news at all?" asked Wolfwood, sitting down next to Vash.

"As far as we know, she's still giving birth," said Vash, finishing his coffee and crumpling the Styrofoam cup in his hand, tossing it into the waste basket across the hall.

The four of them sat in the silent hallway for about an hour until a doctor appeared from Meryl's room, removing his gloves and stopping in front of Knives. Knives rose from his seat as sweat began to pour down his face, staring the doctor in the eyes.

"Well?" asked Knives.

"Congratulations," began the doctor, "it's a girl."

Knives smiled brightly from ear to ear as he shook the doctor's hand vigorously, rushing down the hall and into Meryl's room, smiling at his wife and newborn daughter. Meryl turned her head towards Knives and smiled, motioning for him to come over and look at their newborn daughter.

Vash, Millie, and Wolfwood followed Knives into the room and stood by the doorway, watching as the happy couple welcomed their newborn child into the world.

"What should we name her?" asked Knives, stroking his daughter's head.

"I've always liked the name Sophia," said Meryl, looking up at Knives for approval.

"Sophia it is," said Knives. "Sophia Genee Knives."

"I love it," said Meryl. "Hi Sophia, I'm your mommy."

"And I'm your daddy," said Knives, grabbing Sophia's tiny hand and holding it in his.

Meryl looked over at her band of friends and motioned for them to come over and welcome Sophia into the world. Millie and Wolfwood walked over the bedside hand in hand and kissed Sophia on her head.

"Hi Sophia," whispered Millie. "I'm your Aunt Millie."

"And I'm your Uncle Nick," whispered Wolfwood.

Vash slowly walked to the bedside and stood by his brother, smiling at his newborn niece and rubbing her forehead with his gentle hand.

"Hi Sophia," he whispered. "I'm your Uncle Vash."

"Would you like to hold her?" asked Meryl, pushing Sophia closer to Vash.

"Don't you think that Knives should be the first one besides you to hold her?" asked Vash, taking a step back.

"Take her Vash," said Knives. "I'll have plenty of opportunities to hold her."

Vash gently lifted Sophia out of Meryl's arms and cradled her in his, staring into her icy blue eyes and taking in her features. She had her father's eyes and hair, but she had her mother's soft facial features. She was beautiful in every way and she was born into a wonderful family.

Vash sighed to himself as he looked around at the people surrounding him and back down at Sophia and smiled. He didn't need some girl to make him happy, he just needed to love and support of his family and close friends.

He sighed to himself as he had finally found what he had been searching for all of these years. He had truly found his place of peace and serenity. He had found his Eden and it was here with his family and friends.

--------------------------------------------

Vash stared at the scene before him, smiling to himself and thinking of how wonderful it was to have everyone together again. Everything was back to normal and there was nothing but peaceful days ahead for Vash the Stampede.

He had found his Eden.
