Stitch felt as if he could not breathe. He felt his world shatter in the same amount of pieces as his heart. He stared at Jumba with his pleading eyes, hoping he misunderstood him. He shook his head rapidly as the tears blinded his vision.
"She can't be dead!" He cried. "Not my Lilo! She was so strong! She can't be dead!"
"I'm sorry 626." Jumba replied as he bowed his head and allowed the tears to cascade down his purple cheeks.
"NO!" Stitch shouted as more tears came. "Jumba stop lying! She's not dead! Not my Lilo! She can't be!"
Nani watched Stitch as he cried his heart out. She felt guilty then that she believed Stitch didn't love Lilo as much as another man could. She noticed just how broken Stitch was. She saw the tears he never cried before and the weakening of his knees. She never knew Stitch could be so in love with her sister like this, but he was. Lilo was his strength and now that she was gone, he had nothing to hold himself up.
Angel left Reuben's side to waddle over to Stitch. She put her arms around his neck from behind as he totally gave way. He buried his face in his hands and wept. Everybody gasped, except for Angel and Jumba, as the almighty experiment 626 exposed his weakness in front of them. Angel whispered soothing words in his ear, but it did nothing. She then bent down to his level and placed her arms around his abdomen and burying her face into his back, crying with him. Stitch turned to face her and brought her tightly into his arms, sobbing on her shoulder as she scratched his ears.
The whole family started weeping too, but not one was as bad as Stitch. He looked up at Jumba with wide bloodshot eyes. "I want to see her."
"Evil Genius don't think it being wise idea 626." Jumba responded.
Stitch growled. "I want to see her and I will." He replied in a dangerously dark tone and ran into the room where Jumba had come.
His heart stopped when his eyes took in the sorrowful sight of Lilo. She was lying on a cot with a machine beside her. Her hair messy and fanned out on the pillow. Her lively tan skin had turned pale and cold to touch. The machine next to her had a figure of her, but it had no color except for green. Stitch realized this to be the same machine that showed his life when he almost died from his glitch. He turned towards Lilo, unable to accept the fact that she was dead.
He walked over to the girl and pulled up a seat next to her. He held her lifeless hand and started to speak. "Lilo, please come back. I don't know what I'm going to do without you. I know I said I'd be over you when you die, but I don't think I can. I'm hurting inside Lilo. I need you now more than ever. Please come back to sooth the pain. Only you can do that. Lilo please."
He got no response from her. He then stroked her hand, hoping she would wake up. "I have so many regrets. I regret that I wasn't able to make you my wife, I regret that I never told you how much you truly mean to me, I regret I never told you I loved you. I don't know if you can hear me or not, but I've loved you since the day you brought me back to life from my glitch. Even when I was with Angel, I still loved you more. You were always number one on my list. I've loved you then and I love you now Lilo. If you come back to me, I swear I'll tell you everyday how much I love you. Just please come back."
He sobbed next to her while holding her hand, stroking it with his thumb. "I love you... I love you... I love you."
The door opened to reveal Angel and Reuben. "Jumba said it was time you leave." Angel replied.
"I know you don't want to let her go Stitch, but there's nothing we can do for her."
Stitch nodded then backed away, still lingering his eyes on the machine. He willed it to buzz or beep, but it didn't. He turned to leave with Angel and Reuben. Just before they could make it out the door, they heard a faint beep. Stitch turned to see the machine roaring to life. The two experiments next to him watched the machine too and their hearts leapt as the machine's beeping grew louder. Stitch left their sides to race to Lilo's side. She still had her eyes closed, but he noticed, with glee, that her tan skin had returned.
Stitch quickly reached for her hand, but she didn't respond much to his disdain. Angel and Reuben looked on with hopeful gazes, but nothing happened. Stitch clutched Lilo's hand tighter as the beeping started to faint. He kissed her lightly cold cheek, then her eyes, then her other cheek, then finally her lips. Even though she wasn't responding, he still kept his lips on hers. After a moment, Stitch felt her lips moving against his. He gasped in the kiss then heard the other two experiments gasp as well. He broke away from her lips to see her hand had also curled around his.
"Lilo?" He asked. "I love you."
He saw a smile twitch on her lips, causing his heart to skip a beat. "I love you Stitch."
Then her eyes opened to reveal those beautiful chocolate brown orbs sparkling with a happiness they never had before. Stitch almost squealed with joy as he cupped Lilo's face and brought her lips hard on his. Lilo lifted her arms to tug Stitch into bed with her and wrap around his waist, pressing him close to her.
Angel smiled with wonder as she walked over to the kissing pair. Reuben left to tell the family the good news that they had their Lilo back. Angel walked up behind the couple before they broke apart with smiles and tears on the other's faces. Lilo turned to look at Angel and held her arms out for her best female friend.
"Lilo!" Angel almost wept in joy as she raced into the little girl's arms. "I was so scared."
Lilo smiled and cried with happiness on her friend's shoulder. "I know. I was scared too."
Just then, the whole family poured in, including Victoria and Keoni since Nani called them earlier. They ran inside with huge smiles and open arms to Lilo. Angel moved away so she wouldn't get caught in the tight hug.
Stitch watched as the ohana nearly squashed his girlfriend. He remembered to when he had his glitch and how Lilo saved him from dying. She had always said love was more powerful than death and that proved to be true twice. She had saved him from dying with her love and he saved her from dying with his love. If their love for each other worked like that, then that meant something.
Lilo and I are meant to be. Stitch thought with a smile.
A week later...
"I now pronounce you husband and wife!" The grand councilwoman shouted for all the audience to hear. "You may kiss her now Reuben."
Reuben turned to face his gorgeous bride. Angel's eyes shone with a radiance that made him smile. He leaned forward and kissed her lips, bringing her close to him. The audience stood and cheered for the now married couple. Their kiss lasted longer than kids would like, but they finally pulled apart for a breath of air.
Music chimed and everyone standing in front of the audience left with their respective girls and boys. The audience still whistled, tears brimming at the edges of their eyes. The next thing that happened was everyone inside the house partying like no tomorrow. There was loud music and food served inside the kitchen.
Lilo met Angel in the entrance to the kitchen and smiled. "Hey, congrats."
Angel smiled then pulled her friend into a hug. "Someday Lilo, I'm going to be saying this to you when you and Stitch get married."
Lilo laughed. "I can't wait." She then looked down at Angel's swollen belly. "I just wish I could've seen Lila."
"I'll come to visit. Don't worry." Angel assured as she licked Lilo's cheek. "You just tell me when little Angel or Stitch Jr. will be born."
Lilo laughed once more. "Little Angel?"
"That is what you'll name your daughter in the future right?" Angel asked hopefully.
"Maybe." Lilo smiled. "If she's an angel, then she should take after her father."
"Already talking about babies sweetheart?" A familiar voice asked as an arm wrapped around Lilo's waist.
Angel smiled. "When did you show up Stitch?"
Stitch smiled at her then shrugged. "Your husband wants you."
Angel and Lilo turned their heads to see Reuben beckoning his new wife over. Angel walked past Stitch to Reuben's side who stood in front of the couch in the living room. Lilo stood next to Stitch, smiling as his arm went around her shoulder. When the music stopped, everyone stopped doing what they were doing to pay attention to the newly weds.
Reuben handed the microphone to Angel who started to speak. "I'd like to thank you all for attending my special day with Reuben. You all have been so good to me and you all are like a family I never have. Most of all, I'd like to thank Lilo and Stitch for helping me find the family I've always wanted. Thank you so much you two, I've had a great time." Tears started welling up in Angel's eyes. "Oh these darn hormones!" Everyone chuckled as Reuben helped dry her tears. "It's going to be hard leaving all of you, but I promise to visit even if I have to drag my dear husband into the ship and drive it to Earth. I'm sorry none of you gets to meet Lila 625624, but I promise you all will get to meet her someday and I will tell stories to her about all of you. Now lets have some music Sample!"
Sample copied her in response then started up the music. Everyone moved into a circle as the newly wedded couple danced closely in front of everyone, their arms wrapped securely around each other. Stitch leaned down to whisper in Lilo's ear. "Someday Lilo, that will be you and I."
Lilo smiled then kissed his lips. "I'll count hard on that Stitch."
After the bride and groom dance, another romantic song came on for only couples. Stitch lead Lilo to the dance floor, letting Angel and Reuben have the middle. Stitch brought his arm around Lilo's waist then took her free hand with his. He kissed it just before lacing his fingers through hers. He gave her the most charming smile as she placed her arm around his neck. They smiled just before swaying to the music.
I wasn't the one with a full happy life
I've always had events bringing me down to my knees
I've fell so hard many times
Sometimes I wished I had never been born
Then you come along
You came with an inner beauty
You came with a heart of loneliness much like my own
You came
And shined light into my life
Stitch pulled her closer, basking in the feel of her body tight against his. Lilo smiled as she felt Stitch's love for her warm her heart.
This feeling I get from having you around me
Lets me know I love you
This feeling I get from having your arms around me
Lets me know I'm happy
Maybe you're the one for me
Maybe we are meant to be
I don't know how you did it
I'm still wondering on how you know what to do
I don't know why
I have this feeling of happiness that I never felt in a long time
And baby, it makes me think this is how love should be
Stitch let go of her hand to wrap around her torso. Lilo lifted her other arm around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder. Stitch reached to kiss her head, causing her smile to widen if it was at all possible.
"I love you Lilo." Stitch murmured in her ear.
"I love you Stitch." Lilo smiled. "We are meant to be aren't we?"
Stitch nodded on her shoulder. "Yes, we are."
This feeling I get from having your lips upon mine
Lets me know I love you
This feeling I get from having you say you love me
Lets me know I'm happy
Maybe you are the one for me
Maybe we are meant to be
You are my angel
Sent from heaven to shine love into my life
You are my savior
Here to help me get by
You are my life, my lover, my everything
Without you, I wouldn't want to be
You're the one for me
You and I together
We face this world and its challenges
Because we are meant to be...

Note: This is the end. Well, maybe not the ONLY ending, but this is the original ending. I will put up the alternate ending tomorrow since I have another chapter story that I'll be putting up later. I'll describe my next story in the alternate ending. Also, I kind of worded something worng when I said I'll be having an alternate ending for those that want Lilo alive or those who want her dead. What I meant to say is that those who thinks the concept 'love is more powerful than death' is used a lot, then I'll have an alternate ending to this where she doesn't make it.
One last thing, the lyrics of my Meant To Be song is made by me. If you feel this song has the same lyrics as one you've heard before, then let me know in your reviews so I can make amends for it.
