I think I'm killing you guys with my slow writing. ;-; Sorry in advance~ At least this is the last chapter of this story; any more of my delayed updates for this story is going to kill me. This fic will now be rated M, though, because this chapter mentions some lemony stuff. This chapter is going to be very, very short.

I don't own Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu!

"Name…" I muttered, staring at the baby on Haruhi's chest. What could be considered as hair appeared in a dark fuzz on top of his head. An idea popped into my head. "Haruhi, do you mind if we give him a Western name?"

"Depends…what do you have in mind?" she whispered back, still panting.

"…John," I replied.

A smile slowly spread across her face. "That's perfect."

Soon after naming John and making sure he was healthy, Dr. Yamamoto and his assistant left. Haruhi kicked me out of the house, saying that I'd fuss over her to no end and that she wanted some proper rest. I sighed as I left the apartment, closing the door behind me. Where to go… As I thought of someone to visit, my mind quickly produced one name: Nagato.

oOo

"…" She greeted me with her usual silence.

"Hey, Nagato. Can I come in?"

The alien nodded, and opened to the door to let me inside.

"Nagato, something weird happened again," I said as I walked into her apartment to sit at the low table. "Do you know anything about it?"
Another nod.

"Is there a way to back to what life was like before?"

She nodded again.

"Can you–"

Nagato looked at me with those piercing eyes, still looking as stoic as ever. "Is that what you truly wish for?"

"Huh?"

"Suzumiya Haruhi is content in this world. She will no longer wish for things that she longed for before because she has you. Rather than erupting a closed space this time, she has turned this world into an open space, and her wants will never affect it again."

"…" I didn't follow too well, as usual.

"So basically if I stay in this 'world', there won't be any more weird issues or anything?"

She nodded again.

"What happens if I go back?"

"…you will live life as you always had. Suzumiya will still have her wants, and you will continue to stop her from ruining your life."

"…and if I stay?"

"If you stay, you will live life as a spouse and a father. The choice is yours to make."
"And Haruhi will never know about my decision?"

"Suzumiya Haruhi will never know."

I leaned backwards, thinking. I wasn't sure if I was up to putting up with Haruhi's antics anymore, but I wasn't that ready to be a father yet.

"…do I have to decide now?" I didn't know if I could actually make a choice just yet.

"Yes."

Dammit.

"It's now or never."

"Nagato, I–" I suddenly knew what I wanted, even though I wasn't quite sure how I had suddenly made up my mind.

"–I want to back to the other world."

Nagato nodded as if she had known my choice all along (she probably had). In an instant there was a flash of light, and I was back to where I had been almost nine months ago, standing in front of Haruhi's apartment. I knocked on the door. I'd better do this right this time…

The door opened. "You're late."

I smiled inwardly. "Can I come in?"

Haruhi never answered, but she opened the door wider and walked back into her apartment. I stepped inside and shut the door behind me, taking off my shoes and lining them up next to the door.

Once I neared Haruhi's living room, she tackled me onto the couch and started complaining.

"I woke up and you were gone! I thought you were going to spend the night with me! Why'd you have to go home? I–"

"Haruhi." I stated her name in a nonchalant voice.

"W-what?" She seemed taken back by my calm complexion.

"I'm sorry for leaving," I said, lifting my head up to place a kiss on her perfect lips.

She seemed surprised at first, but soon closed her eyes and snaked her tongue into my mouth. "Mmmm…" she moaned, wrapping her arms around my neck and pulling me closer.

I broke the kiss abruptly. "Haruhi, do you…?"

She turned her gaze away for a moment. "I-I love you," she stuttered. I was slightly taken aback, even though her statement shouldn't have been too surprising. "Let's…" Haruhi lowered her head, a blush spreading across her face. "Let's have sex," she said, attacking my lips once more.

oOo

Needless to say, sex with Haruhi was breathtakingly full of pleasure. Once we'd both reached our limit (by that time it was already noon), we lay on the sofa in a sort of tired bliss, Haruhi sleeping in my arms. I stroked her hair and gently kissed her cheek. I was glad to have come back to this world. Even though I'll still have to put up with Haruhi's antics until we graduate, I'm still grateful for one experience that I would not have gone through in the other world:

I'll get to marry Suzumiya Haruhi.

The end. ;u; I'm sorry if it was really abrupt, and the fact that it took eons for me to finally finish this fanfic. I'll also apologize for the short chapter.

~Thank you for all the reviews and encouragement!
