Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: And now… it's over. I've never actually finished a story this scale before. This will be the first long scale fic I'll ever complete. It's just… new for me. I hate endings. When something ends… it's over. It will never, ever be updated again. I… it's rough for me, not having anything more to create or write for these guys. After 101 chapters, you start to grow attached to them. I think I'm just as sad as you guys to finally see this fic come to a close. As of now… my plans for a sequel are up in the air. My plan of EAH stories remain on Her Number and Sins of Love. I can't forget those fics right now, so as of now, no sequel. However, when Her Number and Sins of Love are done, do look for a Sven/Maddie story coming out. Until then… enjoy the final installment of 101 Ways Kitty and Alistair Are Adorbs.
Prompt 101: I Love You
For once in her life, Kitty had no words to describe how she felt.
It was a few days after her labor. Kitty was recovering nicely, still wincing at the experience of birth. Kitty knew that if she was having more kids, she was going to make sure she was in a coma when they came out. Kitty smiled at the memory of holding her two children in her arms, looking and loving them both so much.
Felix had come out first. Kitty giggled when she saw him with a cat's tail flopping around. Getting the tail was a recessive trait. Kitty didn't have it… but apparently Felix did. Looking at Felix for the first time, he truly did remind Kitty a lot of herself. She just hoped he didn't turn out exactly like her…
Allison, on the other hand, looked so much like her father. Kitty giggled as she could obviously tell her blonde hair was going to be gorgeous. Heck, Kitty was told that, after Allison was born, she was already trying to figure out what blankets tasted like. Kitty knew that Allison would be a curious one… but then, curiosity didn't kill the cat, so Kitty didn't mind so much.
Currently, Kitty was looking through the see-through window, looking at her two kids resting next to each other in their little beds. She smiled at each of them as they slept, happy that she, not anyone else, could claim them as hers.
"I love you both," Kitty said with smile.
BUMP!
"Meow!" Kitty said, steadying herself, still kind of wobbly from the whole birthing experience. Someone had walked into her, but form what it felt like, it appeared to be an accident.
"My apologies," came a voice. Kitty looked up to behold a man with rainbow hair and a rainbow suit. He had rainbow suspenders as well and a white shirt and rainbow tie. He was looking at Kitty apologetically. "I didn't mean to run into you."
"It's no problem," Kitty smiled, turning back to the window.
"One of these yours?" the man guessed.
"Two, actually. Twins. The one with the cat tail and the one who's sucking on her pinky," Kitty giggled. "Oh Allison… you're going to be such a handful!"
"Indeed," the man chuckled. Kitty looked at him curiously. "She seems like a handful. I'm simply making an inference that she'll be a handful, that is all."
Kitty sighed in relief. "Good," she said. "For a moment there, I thought you were talking like Neb would talk. Neb's a… friend, I guess? Not really sure what he is to me…"
"People like him can be tricky," the man said wisely. "Would you mind if I give you some advice Kitty?"
"Sure, go ahead!"
"Don't. Trust. Neb," the man said. "If you do, you will lose what you don't have."
"Huh?"
"That is all. I do hope that you have a nice motherhood," the man said simply and walked away.
Kitty continued watching her babies for a moment, thinking over what the man said. "Wait a second, how did you know my… name?" Kitty asked. However, when she turned to look for him, he was gone, vanished from sight.
"Who are you talking to?" came a voice as two arms wrapped around Kitty. Kitty giggled, rolling her eyes. She spun around and kissed Alistair, giggling. "Miss me?"
"We've been apart for five minutes," Kitty giggled.
"Miss me?"
"Of course I did."
Kitty and Alistair fell silent, just enjoying being with each other and staring at their kids. They didn't have anything to say to each other… but that was ok. All they needed to be was with each other right in that moment. Nothing more, nothing less.
"I love you," Kitty said.
Alistair chuckled, looking at his wife. "Why bring that up?" he asked her.
"Sometimes… I feel as though I don't say it enough," Kitty said. "I love you… so much… and I want to make sure you know that. I want to make sure you have it memorized. I want you to always remember that I love you."
Alistair smiled. "A day doesn't go by that I don't remember how much you love me," Alistair said. "And a day doesn't go by that I stop loving you."
Kitty smiled, then nervously looked behind Alistair. "Sorry, I keep thinking that Neb will pop up out of nowhere and interrupt this moment," Kitty said.
"Don't worry about Neb," Alistair assured. "He guaranteed that the only ones in this 'chapter' are you, me, and our kids. Just us four. No one else."
Kitty smiled and hugged her husband tight. However, a thought came to her mind, one she couldn't push away. Only us four? But… what about that man? Nah… whatever these 'chapters' are, Neb must have referred to this moment, not before Alistair came. Although… how he knew this would happen, I don't even know. Maybe… that's why I'm not supposed to trust Neb… what did that man mean? I'll lose… what I don't have?
"I find it kind of funny," Alistair said, bringing Kitty out of her thoughts. "I love you. It's so simple, a phrase that doesn't really have a lot to it. But the meaning… it holds so much in three simple words. I've never realized how much those three words mean."
Kitty smiled. "You'll always be curious," Kitty giggled. "But you'll never kill me."
"Of course I won't," Alistair smiled. "How about we say it one more time? Just to make sure we remember."
"Done," Kitty said.
Before Alistair could say anything, Kitty kissed Alistair, which Alistair sunk into. The two kissed for a long time, loving their partner and loving each other. Finally, when the two parted, they said three words. Three words that would bind them together. Three words they would always mean when they said it to each other. Three words.
"I love you."
BN: *cries so much the world sinks in its own sorrow* This fic… it's been so much fun. I hate thinking that it's over, that I'm done with it… but that's just it. It's over. I loved writing this fic for all of you and I am so happy that so many of you loved this as much as I have writing it. We've had our rough patches, but we got through them. I want to thank everyone who's supported me up to this point. Here's some shout outs to people who have made this fic what it is.
KittyCheshireLuv: You made this fic. You created Kittystair. This fic was all you. I only wrote the story, you inspired it. If you weren't here, I would have never written this fic. This story is all thanks to you. Otherwise I would have been writing other things, most likely my TD stuff. I owe this inspiration and love and adoration to you. Thank you so much for being there to support me and building this couple up since day zero. Thank you.
Rainbow Swirl: You might not have been there since day one with reviews, but you have also truly supported me. You helped me with your reviews and, despite not knowing it, Lizzie's character. I don't think I could have written this without you either, and I thank you so much for the support.
Pickles and Hello: You have friends. Us. You came later on, but you are still accepted by me and everyone in the review section. You have a friend in Hello, who stood up for you in the reviews when they thought I was being mean to you. You both have places in my heart and I appreciate you both.
Apple Cider: You came toward the end, but your reviews were appreciated. Feel free to talk to me, KCL, Rainbow Swirl, anyone of us whenever you want. You've gained my respect and I thank you for loving this story as much as all of us.
EAH HG GEEK: I can't forget you! You've supported me with my issues so much and I thank you for being there for my support. I truly do appreciate what you've done for me. Thank you.
Everyone Else: You guys… you guys read my stories. I… I can't thank you all enough. If you dropped a random review once or twice or if you just decided to read this out of curiosity… thank you all so much. I love you all, even if you don't always read. Thank you.
And with that, the end. You know… I knew this was coming… and I didn't really know how to end it. So… I guess I should just end it how I normally end these chapters. Here's the final line of this fic. Enjoy it. :)
Like? Hate? Meh? Let me know with your final review, and tell me how awesome Kittystair really is. Thank KCL, thank the others, thank yourselves for making this possible. I love you guys. Until next time… farewell.

?: Fool. He thinks we're finished. Oh, he's wrong. We're nowhere close.
(Baby Room)
Inside the baby room, Felix and Allison both slept soundly. Nothing seemed to disturb the room. Everything was quiet. Not a single baby was awake or stirring, not even Earl Grey, who's a mouse and apparently decided to sleep with the babies. Everything was still…
…until the rainbow man walked into the room.
The man quietly made his way over to Felix and Allison, looking at the two of them with a sneer. "Happy ending," he said. "Happy ending my #$%."
The man quietly and gently took something out of his pocket: a syringe with a needle on the end. Carefully and subtley, he slid the needle into Felix. Felix didn't flinch or make a sound as the man pulled the lever up, extracting a little bit of blood that filled half of the syringe. After he was finished with Felix, he walked over to Allison and did the same thing, filling up the other half.
Once the man was finished, he nodded to himself and walked to the back of the room. There, he opened a closet, one that was not there previously. Inside the closet… was Kitty. Only… not Kitty. It was a body that appeared like Kitty, only she had green and yellow hair and her outfit was black, white, and red. The man smirked as he injected the blood into the unconscious Kitty. Color came to the skin and it started to breath.
The man reached into his other pocket and withdrew a circle object. Carefully, he set the object on her head. It began to glow for a moment… and then stopped. The man grabbed the object off of her head and set it back in his pocket.
Fake Kitty's green eyes flashed open.
"Greetings… Dark Kitty," the man chuckled.
"That name… is for my subconscious," the girl said, licking her lips and feeling her new body. "Call me… Shire."
