Chelsea Hedgehog, Firehedgehog, Tsukino Kage Spectre, Roll.exe, Prjct.WAR, Sephi Kitsune, Pata Hikari – Thanks for reviewing. Sorry there's no personal note in this one. It's, you know, the finally chapter... and sorry it took so long to get this chapter out. I would go into the explanation but that would end up being as long as the chapter itself.

The day was perfect. It was an outside wedding – Cinnamon had insisted upon that, much to Axl's confusion and dismay ( hadn't the blond heard all the horror stories revolving around them? ) - the sun was shining, birds were chirping, flowers were in bloom everywhere, and a faint breeze was keeping all present nice and cool.

Axl was wearing the dress. It was large, it was white, it was foofy, and it was making him feel decidedly gay. Oh, sure, it was breezy and it was comfortable what with the lump sitting in his stomach… but it was making him feel attracted towards X. And Zero. Which was not a good thing since he was about to marry Cinnamon. In any other circumstance he would have been perfectly fine feeling this way but no, he had to go and ruin his bachelor hood by getting married. Damnit.

The familiar strains of the wedding march filled the air as Cinnamon stepped forward, bouquet of flowers in hand. As per tradition Axl hadn't seen her in her… wedding garb ( he hadn't known if she was also going to be in a dress or a suit or what the hell sort of crazy idea she had planned ) and was slightly shocked to see her in a more formal version of her nurse's outfit. The skirt was longer and pure white, she had on heels instead of boots – the thigh-high black stockings were still there – and the top was strapless. "Wow…"

"She is beautiful. Hard to believe she's the same girl that fought with us so many years ago." Glancing behind him, Axl smiled slightly at Zero.

"Yeah…" The orange-haired teen sighed and looked down. "Man, how long ago was that? Ten years... and I'm the first one out of the three of us to get a girlfriend, let alone go further. You and X suck." Zero rolled his eyes as Axl allowed himself once last moment of childishness - he stuck his tongue out at the taller blond - before sighing and becoming serious again. "I feel like a freak standing up here. I'm dressed in a frilly white dress and I'm pregnant and I'm a man and-…. Uh-oh." A look of horror crossed his face as his eyes widened. Zero frowned.

"Are you okay?"

"Um..." Axl shifted and looked down. He didn't want to say this unless he was absolutely sure but it was hard to come up with anything else that could be. "…… I think my water just broke."

Zero stared at him, eyes widening in shock. "You mean like... like pregnant water breaking?" Axl nodded, nervousness and fear causing his to start fidgeting. "Oh god ew. That's just... man, this was not in the job description when I agreed to be the best man!"

Cinnamon frowned. She had only started walking down the aisle when Axl had suddenly looked panicked. After saying something to Zero the two had rushed off, leaving a murmuring crowd behind. Various rumors immediately started floating around, varying from a torrid love afair between Zero and Axl to the maverick virus suddenly taking hold of the orange-haired teen. Who really wasn't much of a teen anymore. "I'm, er, sure they have a good reason…"

"Shut it Alia." Clenching her jaw, Cinnamon refused to allow herself to become embarrassed. Yes, she'd have to yell at him later but there probably was a good reason for this. Nerves or illness or... or something. Axl wouldn't have just run off and left her standing here... he would be back. She was sure of it.

"Maybe Axl's-"

"It said to shut it, Alia."

Half an hour later she was still standing there, flowers firmly in hand, and the embarrassment was starting to take hold. He had asked her, he had been desperate to marry her, and now he ran off during the ceremony! That little punk! She'd knock his face in the next time she saw him! That was, of course, assuming she would see him again and that he hadn't really run off to have a love affair with Zero. Which was absolutely absurd, it was just a stupid rumor that people had started because they couldn't explain what was really happening, and it was now starting to seem to be the most likely out of all of the rumors she had heard.

"Um, Cinnamon? Why are you still here?" Turning around, the blond nurse glared at Layer. Layer, who wasn't wearing her bridesmaids dress. Layer, who was now changed intoblood-stained medical garb.When had she left and what had the purple-haired navigator been doing?

"What do you mean, why am I still here? This is my wedding. My husband is supposed to be here. My husband-"

"Is in the middle of labor."

"… He's WHAT?"

Note: Yes, you read right up there. This is the last chapter.
