Sekhmet: Oh man, I don't wanna go.

Susano-o: Well this was a ride.

Sekhmet: So in the end, do you like Evangelion now? Now that you've gotten your catharsis?

Susano-o: I never disliked it.

Sekhmet: But do you like it more?

Susano-o: I have no strong feelings either way.

Sekhmet: I'll take that as a no then. Oh well, I know you had fun. And speaking of fun, last chapter of this story is comin your way. Here we goooOOOOO!

Susano-o: *Whispers* Ok I like it a little more.

Epilogue 3: Much to do About Something and Nothing

(2024 AD)

"Rei!" Isabelle shouted running into the NERV emergency room.

"Wife Isabelle," Rei said nodding from the bed she was sitting on. "I see you arrived unharmed."

"Arrived unharmed?!" Isabelle stuttered. "I sped across the city to get here," She said standing in front of Rei and taking her hands. "Honey how many times do I have to tell you things like, "I am at the hospital," Is not a good enough message?"

"I am sorry," Rei said nodding without changing her expression, but Isabelle could see the slight change in her eyes that showed she was genuine.

Isabelle sighed. "It's ok," She said sitting down. "Now what is the problem?"

"I am bleeding," Rei explained waving a hand over her lower abdomen. "In my vaginal area."

Isabelle gave Rei a confused look. "What?"

"It was dark red, with small bits of congealed blood and flesh," Rei continued to explain, and Isabelle felt a chill run down her spine. "This is most certainly not normal, so I decided coming to the hospital was a good idea."

A knock at the door stopped Isabelle's response, signaling Ritsuko's return. "Rei," She said looking over Rei's chart. "Ah I see Isabelle is here now, good I can tell you both at the same time."

"Umm Ritsuko," Isabelle said looking between the middle age woman and her wife. "I was just about to try and tell her what she was having-."

Ritsuko interrupted. "Rei, you're having your period," She deadpanned.

Rei blinked as she looked between her wife and the doctor. "W-What?" She stuttered uncharacteristically.

"Your period," Ritsuko said again while taking out a flask and having a quick drink. "I know I said when you were younger you wouldn't have one because of your S2 organ, but recent scans have shown," She explained setting a set of MRI's on the board. "That after your interaction with Lilith and the removal of your angel half your body was changed. Your S2 organ was completely removed rather than becoming dormant and a womb and ovaries have been growing in its place, it appears that within the last month the growth has finished and now you're having your first period."

Rei looked at the MRI like it was a hieroglyph in an unreadable language while holding Isabelle's hand in a death grip. "D-Does this mean…"

"Yes," Ritsuko confirmed. "With a proper donor, you will be able to have children."

Rei grabbed her mouth in shock as she sat forward breathing heavily, Isabelle quickly wrapped her in a hug as she felt Rei's shoulder's shake. "It's ok," Isabelle said calmly patting her back.

"I-I c-c-can have children," Rei stuttered as tears started running down her face.

Isabelle grabbed Rei's hand as the blue haired girl returned it with a bone crushing grip. "Oh Blue," She said softly smiling.

"I-I need to go home," Rei said standing up, dragging Isabelle behind her. "Ritsuko cancel everything for me today."

….

"Wait, are you sure?" Shinji asked.

"Yeah. We've got a good foothold in life by now, and you said you wanted a big family, and these are my prime birthing years after all." Mary said, her face reddening with every reason.

"I know, but isn't birth really painful?"

"It's ok, it's all worth it for a family." Mary said.

"O-ok…" Shinji stammered, blushing heavily and taking Mary's hand. It was a very sweet moment that was massacred by Rei barging into the room.

"Shinji," She said grabbing him by the shirt and shoving him into the couch. "-I require your sperm, please pull your dick out so we may commence intercourse," She explained straddling his lap. Shinji's brain instantly fried, and he turned a deep red.

"Blue!" Isabelle yelled. "Explain first please!" She ordered. "For Lilith's sake you almost can't get pregnant on your period anyway!"

"Wait whos on their period?" Asuka yelled from the doorway. "We haven't started ours yet though!"

"Yeah I mean we've been pretty closely synched up for years now," Mari added. "And I don't start for another two weeks."

"What is with the yelling?" Adelise asked as she and Ray came out of their studio. "We can hear you through the soundproofing."

"Rei what are you doing home so soon?" Ray asked.

"I'm trying to get pregnant here but Shinji refuses to relinquish his sperm," Rei growled trying to get her shirt off.

"Blue seriously I know you're happy, but you need to calm the hell down," Isabelle ordered trying to drag her off the still limp Shinji.

"What the fuck is going on?!" Mary near shrieked.

"I believe Rei said she was on her period?" Adelise asked.

"Wait I didn't think she could," Mari asked scratching her head.

"She just learned she could," Isabelle said finally pulling a half naked Rei off Shinji. "Her womb has been regrowing these last few years and finally finished, so now she's really keen on having kids."

"I've been told all my life I wouldn't be able to, so forgive me if I want to have one before another apocalyptic event prevents me from becoming a parent," Rei growled crossing her arms in an uncharacteristically childish tantrum.

"Well that's great and we're all very happy for you, but you can't just go around demanding people's speed. There's rules to this kind of thing, and both agreeing to it is the biggest one by far." Mary said.

"Yeah," Asuka harrumphed. "Also I call dibs on it first," She said. "We were going to tell him today."

"Uh, I just told him before all this and I'm his wife, so that supersedes your dibs." Mary said.

"I'm older so I go first," Rei snapped. "I've died three times for your asses so back off."

"Ok ok everyone stop!" Shinji yelled shoving himself in between the three. "Everyone stop treating me like a sex toy!"

"...Isn't that what we all are to each other?" Mari asked giggling, Shinji responded with a glare.

"Ok now, who wants to have a child?" Shinji asked and everyone's hand went up. "And who wants one with me?" Adelise and Ray put their hands down.

"Why did we even answer his questions?" Ray asked.

"-Because we were scared of him," Adelise answered.

"Oh right," Ray agreed before the two slowly backed out of the room and down the hall.

"Ok," Shinji said calmly. "We're going to discuss this civilly, everyone at the table now."

Everyone scuttled over to the big dining room table and took a seat. "Can someone please explain what happened with Rei and her period now?" Mary asked.

"My S2 organ was removed during my rebirth and my womb regrew," Rei explained.

"That explains a couple of things." Asuka said. "Namely why you're so baby crazy so suddenly."

"I want a child," Rei said calmly reaching over to grab Shinji's crotch.

"Stop that, I feel violated." Shinji said, taking her hand.

"I want you to violate me," Rei responded, Isabelle just sighed.

"It's kind of weird going back to back to back to back, is a donation ok?" Shinji asked.

"Fine," Everyone agreed before Rei pulled him onto the table. "Start donating."

"Mary, get the dressing cups!" Shinji whined.

….

"Sorry about this again Shin man," Isabelle said as Rei dragged her out of the room towards their bedroom. "I'll buy you some fancy cheeses as compensation!"

"I'll set up dinner at Hell's Kitchen," Asuka added as her and Mari left the apartment.

"Tiny tiny babies…" Mary said, cradling her container. "Come on dear, let's go rest. God knows you deserve it."

Shinji, who up until this point had had his head on the table in a daze, nodded. The two retreated to their room, and as they lay down on the bed, Mary opened her container and downed the contents in two gulps.

….

"I apologize again Lover Shinji," Rei said blushing as she looked down at her plate.

"It's ok, really." Shinji replied, poking at his breakfast.

"I was just really excited," Rei continued.

"It's ok." Shinji replied.

"And I-"

"Ok wondergirl we get it," Asuka interrupted. "You're sorry and Shinji's a cum cow can we move on please."

Before he could reply, Mary walked in and slid something down the table. The skidding object turned out to be a pregnancy test, labeled positive.

"Oh congrats," Asuka said taking a drink, before spitting it out across the table. "Wait what?!"

There was a round of cheering and crying before Adelise suddenly stood up. "We would also like to announce we are having a baby too!" She said excitedly. Another round of cheering went around the table.

"...I am also with child," Rei said softly. A third round of cheering ensued.

"Well you've ruined it for us now," Asuka joked. "We're having one too."

"Ah! You're already glowing Asuka." Ray said.

"What? No I'm not pregnant," Asuka said back.

"Wait I thought you said you wanted a baby?" Ray asked.

"I do, but I'm way too busy to take time off for maternity leave," Asuka explained. "So we took Shinji's sperm and my egg and had them implanted in Mari."

"Heyo," Mari said waving.

"There has to be an easier way to do that." Mary said.

"-But this is the way we did it," Asuka said proudly as she took Mari's hand.

Everyone looked at each other and shrugged, and went about celebrating the mass pregnancy, wondering what was to be expected while they were expecting.

"Hey, let's go for a drive. I wanna check on something." Mary said.

…

The hill overlooking Tokyo 3 was just as it had always been. Except of course, with the addition of small peach saplings, just now getting their first leaves.

"They've been doing great!" Mary chirped, checking out their tiny trunks.

"Didn't expect them to grow so good," Asuka said sitting down.

"Yeah me either," Mari said sitting beside her and holding her arm.

"They will be very tall," Rei added as she laid out a blanket on the ground.

"Perfect for climbing," Isabelle joked, Rei rolled her eyes and sat the two of them down on the blanket.

"This is a very nice place to see the skyline," Ray commented looking out at the city.

"Oh I am so very sorry we never took you here," Adelise said sadly, Ray just chuckled and pulled her into her arms to look out with him.

"When Misato brought us out here for the first time, she said that this is what we would be fighting for." Shinji said, remembering it all. "I'll be honest, I wasn't sure we were going to see this again. But I'm glad we did."

Isabelle turned to Mary. "Hey, remember when we first met?"

"What about it?" Mary asked, and she couldn't help but smile.

"I'm really glad I took that peach," She said smiling back.

Mary smiled back and the seven watched the sunset, ready to face whatever life had in store for them together as a family.

Sekhmet: Such a sweet closer.

Susano-o: Bookended almost like we're half good at this lol.

Sekhmet: So, What new projects are on the table now that the Evangelion slot is up for grabs? I know I'm working on some AUs, and the sequel is planned as a thing that's going to exist, but what's up next?

Susano-o: Getting back into YuGiOh and smuts, making Eva smuts, and possibly finishing Feral and Traveller or just skipping to Sword and Shield so I can scream in an Irish accent for chuckles.

Sekhmet: And I can make my character thirst after Milo because she spent most of her teen life in a self imposed exile and didn't know what she was missing. But yay, EVA smuts, and it's not gonna be traumatic for anyone! There is a small issue though with the schedule, you want to fill the audience in on that?

Susano-o: Yeah we're taking a small break, like three weeks give or take to get ahead with as much material as possible going forward so we can both relax a bit more and not drain ourselves dry trying to write on a close deadline. Like we finished this the day before it went out.

Sekhmet: We did that a lot for a while. Let's be clear thoughts, this isn't a hiatus. We're still going to be working in the background for the entire break. It's just a break from content for you guys. With that said, what quote should we end this on?

Susano-o: You do it this time Sekhmet.

Sekhmet: Alright.
