AN: Well, it's been a while. I'm back, though, with the final chapter FINALLY translated from Italian to English—heh heh. Sorry about that. Anyway, here's how it all ended in this wonderful tale, Welcome Home, Jesse! 59 reviews… I'm so happy I could cry. Here it goes. I did do some minor editing, as I'm older and I'd like to think wiser now. So I touched it up… it's not great, but now it doesn't suck.

Hello, my friends (this term for friends, amicos, can be used for either males or females, hence the next statement) (friends, females only, probably). Well, I promised to write a story in Italian, and here it is, the final chapter of Welcome Home, Jesse! I do not own The Mediator or Meg Cabot. Thanks, Gorbash and Dreamcoat, for your support. I love you!

Jesse stood next to the window, looking out and waiting for Suze. "Why is she late?" he muttered under his breath, petting his cat impatiently. "She's never this late coming home from school."

At that moment, the door opened. Suze was breathing heavily, looking ragged. "Sorry," she said, "I didn't mean to be late, but CeeCee wanted me to help with the newspaper. Oh, and she kept telling me just how handsome you are… all the time. Father Dom just had to give her those glasses, didn't he?"

Jesse smiled. It faded quickly. "I had a meeting with Father Dom today," he whispered. "Corey, the good Father, and I were there. He suggested that I live in my old home, Susannah… and I agreed. I wish to go back home. Is that okay with you?"

Suze breathed in sharply. "No." Jesse looked hurt. "But I'll live. I know you probably miss your old house, Jesse, that you wanted to go back… I love you, Jesse. If that's what you want, that's what you can have, querido."

Jesse smiled softly at her, then disappeared.

"WHAT?" she demanded. "No kiss? Rip off."

There you have it, folks, the final edition of WHJ. Hope that gave you some closure, though I wish I could have done better. I love you all and plan to write more soon... Expect something in a month or so, okay? Lovely. 3 3 Lita Pern
