hi again people! How have you guys been? So, this chapter is the last "chapter" in the story, the rest of the chapters I'll be posting will be Maka x Soul mini story's about their married life, kids, etc...so enjoy this chapter!

Time passed as time does. Soul, His Mom and Maka were all living together. Then Souls Mom decided to pursue her actual dream of becoming a journalist and moved away to the countryside. And of course, Soul being as he is, kept having recurring nightmares about that night, about his mom. But Maka was always there, she endured the many hits that Souls unconscious limbs threw, even though they bruised horribly. She would gently wake him, she would wipe away the sweat and brush away the tears. She would get him a glass of water and sit on the bed with him and make him tell her all about it, she knew he would feel better afterward. After the nightmare had been told in great detail, Maka would climb in next to Soul, she would move herself up so his head was resting in the space between her chest and her chin. Maka would cuddle him and play with his soft, snowy hair until she heard his soft snores. Then she would fall asleep as well.

He would wake up, the small blonde entwined in his arms. He would remember the nightmares and the way she had comforted him. He would grip her tight and never let her go. If she didn't wake up in at least half an hour, he would gently shake her shoulders and kiss her until she had fully awoken. School had ended. They had taken their exams and had their prom. Maka was now in college, she was going to become a science professor. Soul had done very well, thanks to Makas tutoring, and he was at college studying music further. He did love his piano after all. His Father and Brother never contacted him or his mother. But that didn't bother them, they just wanted to leave it all behind.

On this particular day, Soul woke up and remembered. It was Makas twentieth birthday. Crap. Soul quietly got up and got dressed. He left a quick note and headed to the shops. The town was quiet for a Saturday morning, but he arrived at the shop he was desperate to find. The jewellers. After searching for hours and hours for the perfect ring, Soul found one. He could picture Maka wearing it. And she looked beautiful. Soul paid for it and headed home, but before that he got a dozen blue roses that were Makas favourite. Soul arrived back at the apartment but there was no sign of Maka, he placed the box and roses on the kitchen table

"Maka?" He called out but only silence answered him, until he heard little, silent cries. He carefully walked into the bedroom to find Maka sitting on the bed, face buried in her knees. In her hand, a postcard.

"Maka? What's wrong?" Soul said as he placed his arm around her shoulder. All Maka did was lift up the postcard so he could read it,

"Dearest Maka,

I'm sorry I haven't written in so long. But I've got great news. I'm married! To a wonderful man I met in Italy! He's a whole lot nicer than your father, my other news is you're going to be a big sister! Richard and I are so happy together. I hope you'll write back to me soon, I've left the address,

Love, Mama"

"Maka, I'm so sorry..." Soul held her tighter. Maka sobbed into his warm jumper, his scent comforting to her.

"She didn't even ask how I was..." Maka said between sobs. Soul stroked her hair slowly,

"She didn't even know it was my birthday" she wailed out. Soul lifted her chin up so her bleary green eyes locked onto his,

"Wait here" he returned a minute later,

"I've run you a bath, tell me when you're almost done so I can start making you a birthday lunch, okay?" Maka sniffled and stood up, she went over and hugged him, her tiny frame shaking slightly. After Makas bath, she got dried and changed and walked out into the kitchen. A giant pancake sat on a plate, it was covered in chocolate and strawberries. In a small vase there were blue roses, her favourite. Maka sat down, amazed at the length Soul went to. He appeared behind her,

"So, what do you think?"

"Soul, this is amazing!" Soul smirked and reached behind him,

"Sorry, Maka. I couldn't get you much, I've got a promise to keep" Maka stared in awe as Soul knelt down and pulled out a blue velvet box, and opened it. Revealing a stunning ring.

"Maka Albarn, two years ago I promised you that the minute we were both twenty, I'd marry you. So, will you be my wife?" Maka clasped her hands to her mouth, more tears streaming down her face.

"You...you remembered?!" She said,

"Of course I did, idiot! Now, is that a yes or a no?" Maka sighed,

"You're an idiot, you know that? Of course it's a yes!" Maka and Soul embraced, breathing each other in. In that small apartment they called home, where they would live the rest of their lives together. Both were finally happy, together. Forever and ever.

So, what did you guys think? Review and let me know! I don't have any inspiration for any stories at the moment, I have one story line in mind but it might take a while to write...but oh well! I'll see you guys next time!
