I am really sorry it has been so long guys. Had to find a job, found one, been working, sprained my wrist at said job etc. Okay yes maybe I went a little far saying Lulu beamed (since like all of you commented on it) but I think she'd show more emotion when she found out she was going to have a baby. Besides, this is fan fiction. So, yeah this is it: "The Last Chapter In My Story" haha. Recognize that line? You guys better. Hope you like and thanks for all the reviews I got on this so far. Now to it.
Disclaimer: See the previous 9.
"Wakka I'm not made of glass!" Lulu told her boyfriend stubbornly for what had to be at least the 50th time that day. Ever since Wakka found out his girlfriend was pregnant he had been insisting that she take it easy and hardly let her do anything for herself. Obviously Lulu did not take kindly to this. She fought him tooth and nail to do what she wanted, if that didn't work she was not above threats of bodily harm.
"Lu, you have to be careful. You're gonna have our baby." Wakka said his voice becoming soft.
"I'm well aware of that." Lulu answered dryly. Honestly, she was the one with morning sickness reminding her of that fact everyday.
Wakka grimaced.
"Sorry Lu, I know you are." he caught her in his arms and looked at her with apologetic puppy dog eyes. She softened, damn him for perfecting that look.
"Wakka, I'm only a month pregnant. The baby hasn't formed enough yet to get hurt. Especially from stumbling over a tree root." she said this as if speaking to a 5-year-old but Wakka didn't seem to notice. They had been talking a walk along the tree line by the beach when her foot caught on a stray tree root and she uncharacteristically stumbled. Must be the extra weight and awkward coordination, Lulu told herself.
"Yeah but-"
"No buts! I can't take you coddling me much longer Wakka, I don't have infinite patience."
"Alright, I'll try to let up." Wakka conceded, sounding thoroughly chastised. She arched a delicate black eyebrow at him. "Okay okay I will let up." he corrected.
She nodded to herself.
"That's better." she said and kissed him.
"Do they have to do that all the time?" Rikku complained loudly to her cousin as they passed by the kissing couple. Yuna giggled.
"I suppose they don't Rikku. Why don't you go tell them that?" Yuna suggested with humor.
Rikku scowled at the brunette who was trying in vain to keep a straight face.
"I wouldn't do that all the time if I had a boyfriend." she stated resolutely.
Yuna gave her a once over thoughtfully. Her look turned smug.
"Oh yes you would." she said.
Rikku snorted.
"No way Yunie. I wouldn't get all google-eyed like that."
"Google-eyed?" Yuna repeated trying to contain her laughter.
"You know what I mean Yunie."
"Well regardless what you think now Rikku, if you are ever in love like they are; you'll be just as 'google-eyed'." Yuna said in a sad voice as if remembering a far off memory. No doubt about who it was as her eyes misted. Rikku noticed and sighed.
"Yeah, okay Yunie." she answered softly.
Yuna glanced at her younger cousin and smiled gently.
"Just wait."
With that she left, strolling back into the village. Rikku looked once more at the sickeningly sweet embracing couple, sniffed and followed her best friend who just also happened to be her cousin.
Wakka pulled away from her and caught her face with his hands.
"I love you." he told her quietly as if saying the words any louder would make them less meaningful. Lulu gave him a small smile.
"You have no idea what that means to me to hear from you." Lulu answered with feeling. Pregnancy had a way of making you more emotional than you would be normally, Lulu noticed with chagrin.
"I love you too. Even though you aren't the fastest blitz ball on the court." she couldn't help but add, albeit with no real conviction. Wakka laughed.
"True. But then you aren't-"
Lulu's warning glare would have frightened a Behemoth King.
"I mean…uh…you don't have those kinds of problems." Wakka tried to cover.
Lulu narrowed her eyes, she loved watching him squirm and avoid her stare. She would never admit it but she loved how he looked at her when she threatened him. She didn't know why but he looked unbearably attractive when he shied away from her. Maybe it was because the rest of the time he acted like the tough, manly blitz ball player he wanted everyone to see him as. The second he looked at Lulu however, the façade disappeared like pyre flies and he showed what a big softy he was. The same thing happened when she threatened him, it showed his vulnerability which Lulu found sexy and endearing.
Why does she always glare at me like that? Wakka wondered. The fire in her eyes whenever she was angry at him was really quite a turn on, Lulu was her sexiest when she was impassioned with anger. Far be it from him to explain why, perhaps it was the way her scarlet eyes darkened to a deep blood red, the way her breathing increased, how she spoke, with a low husky voice. Sexy. Most definitely.
"That's better." she told him in a silky voice and captured his lips with hers. She ran her hands through his hair and pulled him close to her. Wakka held her as though she were the most precious and sacred thing on earth, and to him she was. When they broke apart again they could no more speak than they could fly, the emotion was too strong for words.
As if to say everything, they both placed their hands over Lulu's abdomen where their child was growing. Looking up at her, into the love of his life's eyes he knew exactly what to say.
"Lulu, will you be my wife?"
Lulu's breath caught in her throat. What? Did he really just ask her that? Oh my Yevon (regardless that she no longer believed in Yevon). Marry him? Was he serious? They'd kill each other! Never mind that they would probably end up living together most of their lives anyway. It was just too much at once she decided. She opened her mouth to make him see sense.
"Yes." she answered in a slightly chocked voice.
What? What! Where the hell did all that reasoning go? Honestly, Lulu thought to herself.
However, as soon as she saw the expression on Wakka's face she knew she could not have answered him any other way. For better or for worse, they were meant for each other. Chappu forgive them.
I really don't know if this ending is any good because no one else read it but me when I posted it. I hope that it satisfies your cravings though. Please let me know what you thought of it. I won't be doing an epilogue because that would either be her still pregnant or with the baby born which as I said before just won't do. So, thank you all for your reviews through my story and let me know if you want to see me write another couple for FFX. Much thanks to all, and leave a review before you go!
Forever love
