Sorry it took so long. I've had the BIGGEST writers block that I've EVER had. I couldn't think of a GOOD way to end this. Like… I just… *sigh* never mind. Just… read it.*walks away all frustrated*

Left4Dead

Infinity looked out the window. She was so tired; relieved… but totally tired. They were finally out of that damned city. She couldn't believe all of that was really real that it wasn't a dream, that all those lives were really gone.

She sighed and brought her legs up to her chest and laid the side of her head on her knees.

Currently they were in a hospital of sorts, making sure that the five of them were all clean. She was sitting on her window sill, the only window in her room. They all had their own rooms, she had been in hers away from all the others for 8 hours 45 minutes and…

She looked at the clock on her wall, 32 seconds.

She felt so alone and scared without her friends. She felt terrible that she was so dependent on them now, but it just felt so wrong not to see them or hear Nick and Ellis bickering. It was quiet again and she HATED quiet, I guess it from being in a city full of zombies so long. Where silence meant awkwardness, where it meant that there was something big coming.

She sighed for the billionth time and laid her head on her knees again, looking out the window. One thing that was good about this room was the view. They were right on the ocean, she could see the blue water for miles, the setting sun made it have a orange sheen up on the horizon.

When they had left the mall with that race car Nick had a near broken arm. So they had to fix that but what was awful was that even though they had plenty of gas it didn't matter. They had to stop early. The bridge had been covered in cars, they couldn't use the car anymore, they had to walk over the bridge. Leaving the car there, it took another 2 weeks before they were finally rescued.

They had been running through that city together for 5 weeks. That's one month. She couldn't believe it.

The door to her room opened. She didn't look, the doctor she had sucked. Insensitive sonofabitch…

The jerk head hadn't been able to find a vein easily for the IV so he poked and prodded her with the needle for a good 10 minutes on both arms. When he got tired of trying he jabbed it into her arm with as much force as he could. When she screamed he yelled at her and told her not to be such a baby.

She had stopped screaming looked him right in the eye and punched him in the nose just as she had Nick at the hotel. After that it was a constant staring contest, as well as a how-much-damage-can-I-do-to you- game.

She looked at her aching arm; it was covered in bruises and cuts, not from the zombies she had managed to keep from killing her, but from the doctor and his damned IV She huffed and laid her head back down and continued to watch the sunset.

She had asked his nurse one time if she could tell her how her friends were doing. She had opened her mouth to respond when the doctor came in and told her, "Infinity has no right to know how other patients are doing."

They HELL I don't. She though currently. What a son of a gun. I HATE him. I spent 5 weeks with those people, we are finally safe and we have YOU for a doctor. That's a bunch of bull sh-

"Marie?"

That's not Dr. Butt Head. Dr. Jerk Face knows me as Infinity. He doesn't even know my real name. Not to mention…. Dr. Moron doesn't have that cute/funny accent.

She raised her head from her knees and looked to the door. The door was still open and instead of a mean looking doctor there was a timid and beat up young man standing in the door way.

The said young man was still in his hospital gown, and looked rather uncomfortable. His hat was gone and his hair was mused and tangled. He had a small smirk on but it wasn't as mischievous as usual. His face was covered in scratches and cuts, he had one ugly one on his neck. His arms and legs were just as bed, but his left leg had fresh white bandages covering one of his worst ones, he had gotten it when they were in the swamps. Mudder had grabbed hold of him. Quite frankly he looked like shit… but really bad ass at the same time.

"Ellis?" She asked, she cleared her throat, Damn my throat is raw.

"Hey… how are ya feelin'?

Without really thinking she jumped off of the sill and ran the short distance to the waiting Ellis. She threw her arms around his neck and buried her face in his neck, the side the nasty cut WASN'T on. She could feel her emotions start rising to the surface, threatening to break through. She was shaking in an attempt to hold them at bay for at least a little longer. She just needed to enjoy this moment.

"Ellis I'm so happy to see you. I've missed you. Are you okay? How are you feeling. Oh it's so good to see you." She sighed… but this time contentedly.

Left4Dead

Ellis wrapped his arms around Infinity's waist and held her as close as he could without suffocating her. The twenty one year old was shaking now, he raised a hand to her hair and stroked it. She sighed.

He smiled and pulled her away for a moment, taking her in. The bruising around her neck was almost gone but it could still be seen. She had a cut above her eyebrow, her lip was split on the bottom, her right cheek was badly bruised; yellow, green and purple covered a good half of it.

Her hair was down and it was falling down into her face, he brushed it behind her ear.

Ignoring all of her questions for the moment, he pulled her close again, resting one hand on the back of her head and the other falling and rubbing his hand up and down her back.

"Ah'm alright, just overly happy ta see you. Ah was counting the minutes, Ah couldn't take it any longer Ah had ta see ya. How are you feelin'?"

"I'm feeling amazing now." He could hear the smile in her voice. He pulled her away again and cupped her face.

She smiled and pulled him out of the doorway and closed the door and locked it.

She left the door and sat on the bed. "I'm so tired of those doctors. They're terrible. We survive a bunch of flesh eating infected and come to a bunch a crappy mean doctors." Ellis looked down at Infinity's arms when she started to rub them up and down with her hands. He walked over to the bed and crouched down in front of her and took her hands gently into his and looked at her arms.

"What…."

"They couldn't find a good vein."

Ellis couldn't believe them, he didn't care who they were… this was not gonna fly. But it did when she grabbed his arm and gently pulled him back to the bed when he had tried to stand and "talk" to them.

"I'm fine. Really." She smiled gently at him, he smiled in return but he couldn't keep his eyes off of her arms. They were bruised and had scabs all over them.

His gaze was brought up to her face when she touched the side of his face. Her voice was dangerously mischeivous and low.

"Wanna go find the others?" She smiled wickedly.

He smiled just as wickedly in return and nodded his approval. Normally he would say "You need your rest." But she'd been through much worse, and if she was any where near as restless and bored he understood how she felt. Especially since he also missed the others… he was even beginning to miss Nick.

"It's been 9 hours and Ah miss them already."

"Then let's go get 'em." She grabbed his hand and led him to the door.

He grabbed hold of the knob and opened the door slowly, peeking out the crack as he did. Once the door was all the way open he looked both directions in the hallway, checking for any doctors that would stop them on their mission.

"It's clear." He whispered and then led her out of the room and down one of the halls.

They made their way down the hall, hand in hand, with their fingers intertwined. Both of them would check the doors. And if it was closed they would cross their fingers in hopes that one: it was the room with their friends and two: that their doctor wasn't inside.

Left4Dead

They had checked nearly the whole floor, hand in hand. No luck in finding their friends. They had one more wing of that floor before they would have to either quit and go back to their room or go to the next floor. Whatever floor this one was….

"Ellis?"

"Hm?"

"What floor are we on?"

"We're on floor four."

"Oh…" She replied, "Ellis?"

"Hm?"

"How did you know that?"

"It says the floor number over top of each elevator."

"Oh… Ellis?" She smiled.

Ellis laughed. "Hm?"

"Do you have any stories?"

Ellis laughed again and she turned to look at him, but they kept walking, looking in any open rooms.

"Not any that relates ta our situation…"

"That's okay. I just wanna hear you talk."

"Mmm, okaaaay. So this one time Keith and I were gonna make…"

"Ellis! Shut the hell up! Seriously, can't you just stop with the damn stories? Just for one DAMN second."

Both of them stopped dead in their tracks at Nick's voice. They ran back to the room that they thought they heard his voice come from, 408.

"Nick?" She asked.

"And Coach…" Coach replied.

Ellis and Infinity ran into the room. "Guys!" Ellis exclaimed.

Infinity refrained from hugging them both, they were both in different beds that were side by side, with the monitors and IV stands between them.

"How are you guys holding up?" Infinity asked.

"Great. Our doctor SUCKS man. We ask anything about you guys and he's like"you don't have a right to know blah blah blah" not to mention he's a real… do you see my arm?" Nick immediately complained.

"Sounds like we have the same doc Nick." Infinity groaned. "I had the same guy." He showed them her arms for evidence.

"Damn." Coach said.

"Yah." She agreed.

"Did you guys see Ro'?" Nick asked. Sitting up a little bit more.

"No we didn't see her." Ellis shook his head.

"Damn."

"She might be with the kids." Coach suggested.

"As in OUR kids… or just kids." Infinity asked, her voice raising an octave.

"Just kids."

"Alright. Where would they be?"

"They'd probably be on floor three." Coach shrugged.

"You're just guessing aren't you." Nick huffed.

"Yep." Coach laughed.

"Alright, well we'll look around for them." Infinity turned to go.

"WAIT!" Nick shouted. "I wanna come too."

"Same." Coach said.

"Alright fine. Hurry up. 'Fore the Cranky Doctor comes." Infinity rushed them.

The two men pulled out their IV's and got out of bed. Once they were all ready they looked around cautiously for their mean doctor. All of them afraid of being caught by him.

Infinity looked around the hallway, "it looks clear you guys."

The four of them walked around the fourth floor, trying to look the least amount of suspicious as they could while avoiding the doctor that was so abusive.

"Ah haven't seen ANY children. Maybe they are on another floor?"

Infinity shrugged, "I'll ask a nurse."

All three men started to whisper harshly for her to stop and not to do that as she walked up to the main desk where a nurse was typing on her computer.

Ignoring the protests she walked up to the nurse. "Excuse me?"

"Yes?"

"Uhm, where could I find the children's area?"

"Third floor." She said simply and went back to her typing.

"Thanks." Infinity said and turned back to the dead silent men. She sashayed past them, probably looking like a moron in her hospital gown but, it proved her point.

They jogged slightly to catch up with her. "Well?"

"Coach was right, floor three."

"Damn Coach, how do you do that?"

"Kids have chocolate."

Everyone looked at him funny but didn't comment.

They all went to the elevator and got on, Ellis pushing the button for floor three.

"So how are you guys doing?" Ellis asked.

"Fine. Relieved… paranoid…." Coach replied.

"I know the feeling." Infinity agreed nodding her head.

The elevator dinged and the group got off, and went on their search for Rochelle.

"Hey, there." Nick pointed to Rochelle who was sitting Indian style on the ground. She was only known because of her hair, still pulled into the short ponytail.

The group hastily made their way to the young woman, the entered the room only to become frozen in surprise. Around Rochelle were four children, and they all looked very familiar.

One girl in particular stood out to Infinity, the small girl with a teddy bear held close to her chest. Despite how she was at the apartment, close and cuddly always wanting to be around other people. Monica was the one who was more separated, Marie was in Rochelle's lap and Matt and Alex were sitting beside Rochelle holding onto her arms, as she spoke. Little Monica was sitting about 3 feet away from them all, listening from a distance. Rochelle's back was facing the group as well as Matt, Marie, and Alex. However Monica was facing them, and it didn't take long for Monica to see Infinity.

Monica stared for a while, which made Infinity worried that she was mad, but when she slowly started to stand and then walked over to her, her heart lifted a little. The walk turned into a run and soon Monica was scooped up back into Infinity's arms.

Monica wrapped her arms around Infinity's neck while Infinity held onto her tightly. "Hey honey."

The other children and Rochelle turned around and they all greeting each other. Rochelle immediately went to Nick and they exchanged a quick kiss and embrace.

Once everyone had said their hello's they all sat with each other talking and enjoying being with each other again.

Left4Dead

Infinity looked outside the house the sun coming through the window and warming her face, she smiled contently.

The children's happy squeals and laughs filling the entire house.

The football game was going and Coach and Nick's yells and shouts could be heard. Coach yelling at his favorite teams "retarded-ness" and Nick's celebrations at HIS team "kicking ass".

The smell of fresh food being cooked filled the air, food. REAL food. It has been 3 weeks since they were out of the hospital and 3 weeks and 2 days since they were out of the infected city, but freshly cooked food was still an amazing thing. Rochelle was a great cook.

She half jumped but laughed when two arms wrapped around her waist and the person buried his face in her neck and mumbled something.

"Ellis, you should be used to them by now. They watch it every Sunday."

"But they are worse than the kids…." Ellis complained, referring to the shouting adults in the other room.

Infinity shrugged and turned in his arms. "Why don't' you take the kids outside then…"

When Ellis moaned and laid his forehead on her right shoulder she laughed. "You are such a baby… you know that?"

"But Ah'm a cute baby right?"

She laughed again, "I'm not answering that."

"Why not?"

"I don't want you getting any ideas." She laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Mmm, what KIND of ideas?"

She kissed him lightly on the lips…. "I'm not answering that."

Ellis groaned, he was about to say something when Marie and Matt and Monica came running in followed closely by Alex.

Marie squealed when Alex tagged her. "Hey hey hey, guys! Tag is an outside game, go to the back yard." Infinity told them, pointing to the back door.

"Okay…"

Suddenly Infinity was "tagged", "Your it!" Marie shouted and ran with the others to the back yard.

Infinity laughed and chased after the four kids.

Left4Dead

Ellis laughed and went and sat on the couch with Coach and Nick to watch the football game.

He watched for a while before he turned to look out the glass back door where he could see Infinity running around the yard with the kids. She loved those kids just as much as they loved her, which was a lot of love.

"Lunch is ready." Rochelle announced.

"Ro' the game is on can't…"

"That's what TiVo is for Nick." She said condescendingly.

Nick huffed and paused the game.

The three of them got off the couch and Ellis went to go tell the kids and Infinity.

"Marie…" he called.

Both Marie's turned to him, though it didn't matter, because both of them were being told.

"Lunch's ready." He finished.

All four kids ran inside, and Infinity walked up to him. They grabbed hands and walked in together.

Left4Dead

Read Authors Note for further explaination.

Okay just so you all know. They do not all live in the same house together. It's more of a "We come and visit Infinity and Ellis' house every Sunday for football and lunch." thing.

Ellis and Infinity have the house and keep the kids with them. The kids aren't adopted but they are taken care of by the group of survivors.

I couldn't think of a way to explain all of that in the chapter without it being boring, so I thought I would explain here. If you don't'like reading authors notes and you didn't read this… than poo on you. You get to enjoy being confused. :-p

And to those of you who DID read this. KUDOS!

Anyway, there it is, the last chapter. I was talking to my boyfriend and I was so upset over this chapter. I was so scared it was gonna suck.

But I don't think it's TOO bad. I mean it's not the best but its…. It not BAD… It's kinda hard to end a story like this. Especially since they aren't being attacked and almost killed all the time. Rather they are safe and sound and crap. So it's kinda hard to slow down like that. I tried. Let me know how I did.
