I'm sorry this has taken so long! There should be one more chapter after this one. We've made it to the end of the story!

There was nothing else to say other than that Kono looked beautiful in her wedding dress. Her look was completed by an elegant updo underneath a veil trimmed with lace that matched her dress.

But she noticed something wasn't right, and it didn't have anything to do with her dress or her hair or anything like that. She noticed Willow's sad eyes staring at the arm Meredith Townsend made a large cut with a knife on that left a scar.

"Willow?" Kono asked gently, staring down at the little girl.

"Yes, Auntie Kono?" she asked, the sorrow evident in her voice.

"Why are you sad?"

Willow's lip started to quiver as her eyes flooded with tears that she stubbornly held back. "'Cause it's my fault."

"What's your fault?"

"Your arm. She...she hurt you 'cause of me." She bit her lip and still tried to hold back her tears.

"Please don't cry, sweetie. You look so beautiful in your dress. Don't cry," Kono said as she placed a hand on Willow's shoulder.

"I'm so sorry, Auntie Kono."

Kono sighed. "You're just like your sister, Willow. It's not your fault, okay?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Now, we have to leave soon, and we don't want to leave Ben waiting, right?"

Willow nodded, slowly becoming more at ease. "Right."

"So we can't be late! Are you ready to go?"

Smiling, Willow stood up. "I'm ready."

"Alright, then, let's get going."

As Willow began to walk out of the room, Kono thought about how awful it was for the poor little girl to feel guilty for everything. She was almost ten years old and she had already gone through so much.

Soon Kono followed her downstairs where eventually everyone gathered before they left.

It was difficult to miss the look on Kono's face. It was clear that she was nervous, evidence for that appearing as she bit her lip. Catherine, Mary, and Lauren put forth their best efforts to calm her down.

"You nervous, Kono?" Catherine asked in a soft tone.

Kono gave a short laugh as she shrugged. "A little."

"There's nothing to be nervous about," she assured her. "You're going to marry the man that you love. Getting married, having kids? Best moments of your life."

"O...kay," Kono said shakily.

"All you have to do is remember that Ben is waiting for you at the end of the aisle," Mary suggested. "That's when all your nerves will go away."

"I'll do that," Kono replied with a nod, though she still looked nervous.

"This is your special day, Kono. It's not a day you should feel nervous on. You have nothing to worry about," Lauren said in an attempt to comfort her.

"I know, it's just...I'm not used to this. I don't feel comfortable in a dress like this and what if Ben..."

"Hold on, hold on," Catherine said quickly. "I felt the exact same way. But you look beautiful, Kono. You can't get yourself worked up over it because when you see Ben standing there, your fear is going to go away and you'll feel so stupid for even thinking about it. Trust me. I'm talking from experience."

"Thank you. All of you. Thank you very much," Kono said, appreciative.

She followed all of their advice. When she saw Ben, Mary's words echoed in her head. He's waiting.

Kono took a deep breath. Then, with her father by her side, she took a step forward.

Lauren went into labor two days after Kono and Ben arrived back on the island from their honeymoon. The newlyweds, along with the rest of the family, waited in the hospital for news.

Finally Chin stepped into the waiting room with what Danny and Steve immediately recognized as the new father look on his face. After several questions were thrown at him, he said, "Victoria? Lauren wanted me to come get you."

Smiling, Victoria Rollins rose to her feet and accompanied her son-in-law back to Lauren's room.

"Really? You're not going to tell us anything?" Danny called after him, receiving no answer.

When Chin and Victoria arrived at the room, Lauren beamed at them with the twins in her arms.

Victoria quickly made her way over to her daughter's bedside. "Oh, honey."

"This is Chin Ho because we had to satisfy my husband's ego," Lauren introduced the boy she held.

"I'm pretty sure it was your suggestion to name him after me," Chin reminded her.

Lauren just smiled at him before continuing. "And Mom? This is Victoria."

Her eyes slightly wide, Lauren's mother asked, "Victoria?"

"Yeah, Mom, after you."

"Oh, honey," Victoria said again, a smile appearing on her face. "You're going to be such a wonderful mother, Lauren. I'm so proud of you."

"Do you want to hold her? I figure we'll call her 'Tori' for short," Lauren announced.

"Of course I want to hold her," Victoria agreed, extending her arms to hold the newborn. As she leaned back in the chair beside her daughter's bed, she began speaking to her son-in-law with amusement in her voice. "Chin, you have a lot of people upset with you at the moment. As a matter of fact, they're all in the waiting room."

Chin smirked. "They're all waiting for news," he explained to Lauren. "I'm going to go fill them in on everything."

Before he left, Chin and Lauren shared a glance. Finally they had what they wanted for so long.
