A/N: THIS IS A SECOND CHAPTER Please GO BACK AND READ CHAPTER 50 BEOFRE YOU READ THIS ONE!
Evie was sat in the hospital bed looking at the ultrasound picture, this was her baby, her little boy or girl. And they were safe and sound.
She'd been terrified the entire way to the hospital.
The EMT checking everything while also checking over Jayden.
They'd been separated as soon as they arrived, Jayden being moved to an examine room while she was rushed straight to an OBGYN.
And by some good will of the universe. It hadn't been as bad as she thought.
Her spotting and cramping had been minor, a warning of the risk she was at, rather than the end of her pregnancy. She'd been put on strict bed rest and told to take it easy for the rest of her pregnancy. Otherwise she had relatively minor injuries.
Her wrist was fractured but it wasn't too severe, and her ankle was twisted. She had bumps, cuts, and bruises but nothing else that was serious, Jayden catching her as they fell had likely done a lot to soften her landing too.
The others were all in their own rooms, their families with them. She knew Ji would come in and see her once he was done checking up on Jayden who was in worse shape than she was with his dislocated shoulder, two dislocated fingers, bruised ribs and a concussion. But part of her felt a little sad that she didn't have happy parents to come and see her. She hadn't actually told Jayden about what she thought had happened with the baby, and she was debating whether she even should.
"So how's my favourite fellow coloured ranger?" asks a voice and Evie turns and looks up smiling as she saw Tommy leaning against the door.
"Tommy."
Tommy smiles and walks inside sitting down on the bed and hugging her gently.
"What are you doing here?" she asks pulling back.
"Well the others families are seeing them so I figured I'd come and see you. I know how exhausting and heavy saving the world can be," chuckles Tommy.
"We really did it Tommy, we won."
"You did, I never doubted it for a second."
"Where are JJ and Kat?"
"Outside we wanted to make sure you were up for visitors first."
"I am."
It meant so much that they had come to see her.
Tommy smiles and disappears outside for a moment before suddenly JJ ran into the room with Kat and Tommy. "You defeated the bad guys," smiles JJ as he jumps up onto the bed. Though Tommy stops him climbing onto Evie.
"Yes, we did."
"Just like mom and dad."
"Just like your mom and dad."
Kat walks over then and hugs Evie, "You can relax now. I hear we had a scare, but we're all good now?"
"All good, just got to be careful for the rest of the pregnancy."
"Well now you can enjoy, or not depending on which symptoms you get," she smiles pulling back and brushing some of Evie's hair behind her ear.
"Thank you for coming."
"Anytime" assures Kat.
"You wanna see the ultrasound?" Evie holds it out.
Kat takes and smiles as Tommy looks at it over her shoulder, "I'm so happy for you Evie."
"Dr Maddox said that it's perfectly on track for 3 and a half months. It worked Kat, they never even realised," smiles Evie, "so thank you for that."
"I'm glad it worked and Jayden was able to put his caveman instincts on hold for long enough to let you continue to fight."
"Took some work."
"I don't doubt it did, not sure if its red rangers or just all ranger men," smiles Kat.
"I think reds are just worse for it," giggles Evie.
"Hey I'm not just a red," argues Tommy.
"No you're black too which is the best."
"Yes, yes we are."
Kat just laughs and hands the picture back to Evie but JJ grabs it, "what is it?" he asks screwing up his nose as he tried to figure it out.
"It's a baby, Evie's baby," explains Tommy.
"It doesn't look like a baby," says JJ in confusion.
"They don't when they're that little," chuckles Kat.
"It'll start to look like one the further along Evie gets, we'll explain it all when you're older," adds Tommy quickly before he tried to ask how Evie had gotten her baby.
JJ hands the picture back, and Evie smiles as she looks at it.
"I think it's a metal samurai, Jayden is convinced we can't know yet, but he wants it to be a fire samurai."
"Well we shall see, but I'm sure it will be as stubborn as you and be a metal samurai just to spite Jayden," chuckles Tommy.
"I have solid reasoning, but we'll see."
"Where's Jayden, I thought he'd be plastered to your side?" asks Tommy.
"Resting, he was hurt from his duel with Deker as well as catching me, he was quite out of it.
And Ji wants to make sure he gets plenty of rest and fully checked over. I also, don't know whether to tell him about the scare."
"It's entirely up to you Evie, but now you know it's fine, maybe it'd be best to share it with him," advises Kat.
Evie nods, leaning heavily against the other woman.
They sit with Evie for a while catching up when JJ starts to get restless, so Kat takes him to the cafeteria to get some food leaving Tommy sat with Evie.
"Here, we got you something, for you, or for the baby rather," says Tommy as he reaches into the bag and hands it to Evie.
She opens the parcel and smiles as she sees the baby book.
"Kat kept one for JJ, it's something you'll look back on and treasure."
"It's beautiful Tommy, thank you," says Evie as she leans over and hugs him.
"Glad you like it," replies Tommy hugging her back.
The sound of someone in the doorways caused them to pull apart and they see Lauren.
"Uh sorry if I'm interrupting," she says looking unsure of what was going on.
"Lauren, come in, this is Dr Tommy Oliver, a friend of Ji's, and Tommy this is Lauren Shiba, the older red ranger."
"Nice to finally meet you," smiles Tommy holding out his hand as he stood up.
"Uh you too," replies Lauren still confused as she shakes his hand.
"Tommy is one of Ji's friends and a five time former ranger, leader of three different teams and owner of four different power ranger colours, yours and mine included."
"Oh, right, sorry wasn't sure who the random older attractive guy was hugging my baby brothers girlfriend."
"Careful Lauren his wife might have something to say about that."
"Who is also a two time former ranger, though she was pink both times."
"Tommy was around when Jayden and I were younger, and we blacks are in a much shorter supply than you reds."
"Speaking of reds my pain in the ass brother wants to know how you and the baby are," says Lauren walking in and sitting down on the bed.
"For now tell him we're both fine, give him this." She holds out the picture.
"What is this?" ask Lauren in confusion.
Evie laughs and points it out, "That is my baby. See this is its head, and those are its hands, and its little toes."
"Wow," murmurs Lauren, "you're really growing another person, and my brother is the father of another person, oh god this just got a lot more real."
"I had a similar reaction when I saw my sons ultrasound for the first time," chuckles Tommy.
"I'm going to be an aunt, wow when I said I wanted to be a family I didn't think it'd expand quite this fast. But everything is okay right?" clarifies Lauren turning to her.
"Everything is fine." She'd talk to Jayden once they were out of the hospital if she decided to talk to him about it.
"Any idea on gender yet?"
"No, not yet, probably not until at least 20 weeks."
"Do you have a preference?"
"Not really, but I feel like it might be a girl."
"Why?" asks Lauren.
"Mothers intuition."
"Kat knew JJ was a boy the moment we found out she was pregnant," points out Tommy, "Trini knew she and Jason were having a girl with Grace, and Karone knew her girls would be twins before she even had an ultrasound, though I guess since she and Andros were twins that was a bit more likely."
"Who now?" asks Lauren.
"Trini and Jason are the original yellow and red rangers, Tommy's first team. And Andros is the red space and Karone is his twin sister the second pink galaxy ranger."
"And I thought our legacy as samurai was long," snorts Lauren.
"Oh no you have us beat, but there are a lot of previous rangers," smiles Tommy, "Not quite 18 generations stemming back hundreds of years though."
"I only ever really learnt the samurai histories."
"Well that is going to change," assures Evie, "besides Tommy has a handy video he can show you that'll explain it all pretty well."
"A video?" asks Lauren sceptically.
"Some of us prefer technology to scrolls, besides unlike you I fought off aliens not demons, my mentor was a floating head in a tube, then a floating woman in a tube. And then I had to be the mentor."
"Something tells me you've got a lot of stories."
"So many, my son loves them, and meeting a female red ranger might just add you to his list of cool."
Lauren just smiles, she was learning to adapt to this strange family she'd found herself with and she was enjoying it immensely. And she was glad her baby brother hadn't been as alone as she'd feared.
"Well I'd better go and report back before Jayden tries to come here himself," she says as she stands up.
"Here, give him this, and point to the bits, if need be," says Evie holding out another ultrasound picture
"I will," smiles Lauren hugging her, "I'll be back in a bit."
Evie nods and Lauren heads to the door only to collide with someone.
"Oh god I'm sorry."
"No I'm sorry," comes a voice that has Evie looking up in surprise.
Lauren looks at the woman she crashed into, and was startled by the resemblance she saw to Evie.
Glancing at Evie curiously and receiving a nod she walks out, revealing Nia stood in the doorway.
"Hi," she says awkwardly.
Evie looks at her mom, blinking to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
"Mom?" she asks.
"I know I said I'd let you contact me, but after I saw it on TV, I just, I needed to know you were okay. And I know that sounds pretty rich coming from me given I didn't do it for 13 years, but I just, I was in the car before I even realised what I was doing," admits Nia her gaze flicking to Tommy who was watching her with narrowed eyes and a guarded expression.
"And how did you explain that to your family?" asks Evie still eyeing her mother warily.
"I've already told Emmett about you, I told him the day I got back from talking to you. He understood why I wanted to be here."
"You actually told him?" asks Evie in surprise, part of her hadn't actually expected her to do it.
"I did."
Tommy looks at Evie, "Do you want me to go?"
"Maybe just for a minute."
"I'll go and get a coffee, you want one?"
"Don't tell Mia."
"Not a word" assures Tommy squeezing her shoulder, as he walks out.
"You can come in."
Nia steps inside and walks over taking Tommy's vacated seat, "Who was that?"
"That's Tommy, he's a friend."
"A ranger friend?"
"Yeah, a ranger friend."
"Are you okay? I mean you don't look too worse for wear" says Nia looking her over, noting the cuts, bruises, and bandages, but nothing that looked critical or overly serious.
"I'm okay" nods Evie.
"And the baby?" asks Nia carefully.
Evie wordlessly picks up another picture and hands it to her. She was definitely not comfortable divulging anything more to her mother.
Nia takes it and smiles when she sees it, "She's fine"
Nia looks at her, "she? Just a feeling, now, right?"
Evie nods.
"I knew, with you, the moment I knew I was pregnant I knew you were going to be a girl," smiles Nia, "your dad was thrilled when I told him that, he'd always wanted a little girl."
Evie looks at her, unsure of how to react or respond.
Nia sighs, she'd known that coming here would not be easy, it wouldn't be a joyful reunion, but she was relieved to see Evie was alright, and the baby as well.
"How uh, how are the others?"
"They're okay, sore, aching and a couple broken bones, but a lot more okay than they could've been."
"That's good, that's really, really good," smiles Nia, and she meant it.
"He's gone for good; Xandred I mean. There shouldn't be a need for a 19th generation."
"Really?"
"We destroyed him this time. Not just sealed. Gone for good we hope."
Nia smiles and reaches over tentatively taking Evie's hand, "you did good, all of you did. And I know, I know it doesn't mean much, but I am so proud of you Evie. You've done and become everything I couldn't."
Evie looks at her and squeezes her hand as she feels tears flood her eyes, "I've wanted to hear that from you for so long," she whispers unable to help herself. And if it weren't for the warm and solid feeling of her mother's hand in hers, she'd think this was a symbol projection.
Nia feel tears in her own eyes as she looks at their joined hands, "I'm sorry you had to wait so long for it," she replies her gaze coming back to Evie's face. She'd missed so much.
"I still don't know if I'm ready to let you back into my life."
Nia nods, "I know that, and I meant it when I said it would be your choice. But if you do, if you're willing to give me a chance, even a little bit, I would like that very much."
"How do I know you won't just disappear again if things get too hard or too complicated for you?"
Nia sighs, "I know I have done nothing to warrant your trust, in any way shape or form, and I would understand if you did not want me anywhere near your daughter after what I did. But I want you to know, I'm not that woman anymore Evie, I'm not the same person who left you at the Shiba House, I am not the same person who said those unforgiveable things to you.
And if you give me this chance, I will do whatever it takes, whatever you want me to do, to try and show you that. I am not asking for your forgiveness and I know you will never forget, but I would like to earn a place in your life, however small."
Evie looks at her, "I need some time."
Nia nods, "I understand, you have my number, feel free to call me, whenever you like. Or not, whatever you decide to do, take as long as you need. I'll still be here, this time, I'm not going anywhere."
Evie studied her mother, and while part of her wanted to just sink into her arms and be held, she knew it wouldn't be that simple. This was going to be the furthest thing from simple.
"Do you know how long you'll need to be in hospital?"
"Keeping me for observation, as well as for the baby. Plus, Jayden will probably have a fit if I got home without him."
"And how is he?" asks Nia.
"He'll probably need a little longer. But he'll be fine, he has a hard head, plus he caught me so it's his own fault, kinda," she adds without thinking.
"Emmett is the same, bounced down the stairs last week just got up and walked away. He regretted that the next day though" admits Nia with a smile.
Evie looks at her mom, "How did you meet?"
Nia looks surprised but her smile grows, "Uh well I was driving to work when smoke starts pouring out of my car. I pull over and I have no idea what to do, but then Emmett pulls up in his truck, the garage logo on the side. And assures me he is in fact a mechanic and that he's not a weirdo or a serial killer or anything. Well I knew I could take him if he was, but he obviously turned out not to be, he fixed my car so I could get to work. But said I should stop by the shop after work so he could have a proper look, and things went from there."
"What about his ex?"
"They were already divorced then. You know I never thought I'd love anyone like I loved your dad, but Emmett, he's a really good man."
"And you really told him, everything?"
"I did, he had a mixed reaction to it, had a bit of trouble believing I was ever a ranger. But he was very open to meeting you as well."
Evie just nods when suddenly the door opens and Lauren hurries in shutting the door behind her and leaning against it looking a little traumatised.
"Lauren, are you okay?" asks Evie.
"I just met Antonio's dad," she says by way of explanation.
Evie just nods and pats the bed, "what did you do?"
"I've never had to meet someone's parent before, I'm still new to all this stuff. And his dad was just there, and he was all smiles and Antonio introduced me and his dad smiled more and I kind of turned and ran in here," admits Lauren as she sits down.
"That's okay, like you say, you haven't had much experience with meeting parents, or people in general. Especially not non Samurai people."
Lauren just nods and then notices Nia, "Oh sorry I didn't realise someone was here" she apologises noting the similarities between her and Evie again.
"Lauren this is my mom, Nia, mom this is Lauren, Jayden's older sister."
"Jayden's what now?" asks Nia in confusion.
"Oh my dad sent me into hiding when I was little, I perfected the sealing symbol while Jayden led the rangers. And the Nighlok never knew to look for me because they didn't know about me."
"Wow, well your dad was always smarter than people gave him credit for." nods Nia.
Lauren just smiles before turning back to Evie, "I have to go back in there, right?"
"Antonio has had to explain a lot to his dad right now. I think he could use a friend."
"Right a friend, just a friend," nods Lauren.
Evie catches her hand, "Or more than a friend, if that's what you'd like."
Lauren gives her a nervous smile before walking out.
"Well she's, different."
"She had an even less normal life than Jayden and I, she's nice though, but her social skills need a little bit of work."
"So Nathan really hid her away, from everyone?"
"Yeah she hasn't seen Jayden since she left, never said a word."
"You mean you didn't know?"
"I learnt a couple of months before the others did, Jayden told me after a Nighlok brought up something else. Once she'd mastered the sealing symbol she came back."
"That must've been an adjustment?"
"A little," admits Evie, "but she's Jayden's sister, and now she gets to be normal, we did what she spent her life preparing for."
"That's good, now you can all be normal."
"Yeah, we can."
"And your child will never have to face what you did, in any way," assures Nia gently.
Evie looks at her, "just because I haven't asked you to leave doesn't mean I want you back in my life."
"I know it doesn't, but just getting this, I'll take whatever you are willing to give me." replies Nia.
A knock on the door causes them to turn and Kat walks back in with Tommy and JJ.
"Here you go, one coffee," smiles Kat as she hands it to Evie who takes it with a smile before sipping it, "Ah perfect, and this is only my second cup so I can't be yelled at Kat."
"Who yells?" asks JJ.
"My pink ranger, Mia."
"Like my mom?"
"Just like your mom JJ."
"She yells too sometimes, especially at daddy."
"Well sometimes red rangers need to be yelled at."
"Don't they just" agrees Kat looking at Tommy with a fond smile.
"I'm also, green, white and black."
"Greens need to be yelled at sometimes too. Just ask Mike," she smirks.
JJ turns to Nia then, "Are you Evie's mommy?"
Nia nods, "I am yes."
"You look like her."
"And you look like your daddy."
JJ beams at that.
Nia looks at the four of them, and found she felt like the stranger in this situation, because she was. And it was her own fault.
"I'm just going to go and get a drink; would it be okay if I came back up before I left?"
Evie nods, "sure."
Nia smiles and walks out, glancing back in time to see Tommy take her vacated seat, Kat sitting down on the bed, and wrapping her arm around Evie, and JJ joining her as well. No awkwardness at all.
Nia walks down to the cafeteria and grabs herself a couple of things and heads to the cashier.
"Nia?" asks a surprised voice.
She turns and her eyes widen when she sees Alice stood behind her.
"Hi Alice," she replies.
"It really is you," smiles Alice, "I take it you're here for Evie? Have you seen her?"
"I have, she says everyone's doing okay," nods Nia. Had it been any other member of her team she might've been less inclined to talk but Alice had always been the kindest member, and she'd never once bitched back at her for anything she'd said or done.
"Emily will be fine, she's got some bruised ribs, a broken wrist, and a semi-serious cut to her leg, but she'll be fine. I hear Evie is good as well, and the baby too."
"Yeah, they're both good," replies Nia before looking at her in confusion, "wait Emily, what about Serena?"
Alice sighs, "oh you wouldn't have known, uh Serena is, well she got sick. She's still sick now, Emily is the one who took up the mantle."
"I'm so sorry Alice."
"Thanks. So how long have you been back in contact?"
"It's uh recent, this is the second time I've seen her. But when I saw it on the news, I just, I needed to know she and the baby were okay."
"That's really great if you're reconnecting," smiles Alice genuinely.
"Well not sure if we're quite there yet. But that is my own fault."
"If she's expecting a baby of her own, it might make her want her mom around more."
"She has a mother figure in her life. But I'm hoping there might be room for me as well."
"I'm sure she will" says Alice, "So I heard you have a son?"
"I do, Elliot, he's 7, and adopted. I remarried, and my husband Emmett has two sons with his ex-wife, they're both good boys too."
"That's nice, and good that you found someone else, I know losing Markus must've been devastating."
"The straw that broke the camel's back."
Alice reaches over and rests her hand on her arm, "We were all young, and you weren't prepared for it the way the rest of us were."
"You were always the good one Alice."
"I try."
"Are you coming back up?" she asks.
"Yeah," nods Nia. "I was thinking of bringing something back up to Evie and it occurred to me I don't know enough about her to know what to get."
Alice reaches behind her and hands her a couple of packets of strawberry laces, "According to Emily, Mike, Antonio and Kevin all received some very, very unpleasant kicks from Evie when they tried to go near her strawberry laces," smiles Alice. Her daughters e-mails had been quite the insight into how different this team was from how her own had been. And she was glad for it.
"Thanks," replies Nia as she pays for her stuff before the two women head back upstairs.
"Let us know how you're doing okay, we'll come and see you again once you're all home alright," smiles Tommy.
"Thanks, for everything."
"Anytime," assures Kat as they hug her goodbye before walking out.
Evie smiles as she picks up the baby book and slides her ultrasound photo into it.
The door opens again and Evie is surprised to see Dr Maddox with a nurse and Ji.
"What's happening?"
"We're moving you."
"Where?"
"To the same room as Jayden, because I'm not having either of you injuring yourselves further trying to sneak in to see each other. And while I'm sure you'd manage it, I'm saving myself the trouble since you currently lack a little of your usual grace."
"You know me so well."
"Exactly" answers Ji with a smile as he gathers up her things, while Dr Maddox and the nurse help Evie into a wheelchair.
"I can walk," she reminds.
"Doesn't mean you should," answers Dr Maddox with a smile.
"Is this from Kat and Tommy?" asks Ji as he picks up the baby book.
"Mhm."
"We'll make sure to fill it," assures Ji as he hands it to her.
"My mom's here," says Evie looking at him.
"I know she is; I figured the older redhead who Lauren noted looked remarkably like you would be Nia," nods Ji, "But I knew Tommy was with you and you would've made yourself quite vocal I'm sure if you hadn't wanted her around."
"Thank you."
Ji just nods as she's wheeled down to Jayden's room.
"Guess what, you get a roommate," smiles Dr Maddox.
Jayden smiles when he sees Evie.
"Hi," she says as they help her settle in the bed next to his, having moved them right next to each other and ensured their IVs were on the other side.
"Hi," replies Jayden reaching over and taking her hand, "Lauren sucks at explaining ultrasounds by the way."
"I know, she also sucks at meeting non samurai people. Fled Antonio's room when she realised his dad was in there."
"Ha, hilarious."
"She's not had much experience" reminds Ji.
"Yeah but to my understanding, younger brothers are supposed to be real pains in the ass to their older sisters," smiles Jayden looking at Evie.
"If Mike is anything to go by, then yes," nods Evie before biting her lip, "if my mom does come back up, will you tell her where I am?" asks Evie looking at Ji.
"If you want me too."
"If she even comes back."
"What did she say?" asks Jayden.
"A lot, we talked about stuff, but she says she wants a place in my life, if I'm willing to let her have one. But if I don't then she'd accept that" she adds before biting her lip.
"What?" asks Jayden.
"She said she was proud of me."
Jayden squeezes her hand reassuringly while Ji gives her a small smile, both knew exactly how much that meant to her.
"What do you want to do?" asks Jayden.
"I don't know. Can I think about it some more?" she asks rubbing her eyes.
"For as long as you need" nods Jayden.
"It is entirely your decision," agrees Ji, "Now I am going to go and check on the others."
Evie rolls onto her side and looks at Jayden, "How are you feeling?"
"I've felt better, I've also felt worse" replies Jayden, "how about?" he says.
"Same," chuckles Evie, "Now do you want me to explain the ultrasound?"
"Yes please."
"Oh and Kat and Tommy got us this," she adds as she grabs the baby book and shifts closer.
"They stuck their heads in before they left" nods Jayden before yawning.
"Get some sleep, it's all over now."
"We did it."
"We did it."
Jayden just smiles and shuts his eyes and is asleep within minutes.
Evie just smiles running her thumb over his hand before shutting her eyes and drifting off as well.
Ji had finished checking on the others when he saw Nia arrive with Alice.
"Doing the rounds?"
"Habit."
"Thank you for bringing them all home" smiles Alice.
"I cannot take all the credit."
"Wait where's Evie?" asks Nia noting her room was now empty.
"She's in with Jayden."
"Why?" asks Nia.
"Because otherwise Evie would attempt to go and see him, and while I'm sure she'd manage it, I am saving myself the trouble of her possibly injuring herself further."
"Ah to be young and in love," smiles Alice.
"Keep your eye on Mike and Emily then."
Alice chuckles and walks back into Emily's room, while Ji walks with Nia down to where Evie and Jayden were.
As they look through the window, they see both sound asleep, their hands still joined over the two beds.
"They look happy."
"They can finally relax, and just in time too" says Ji before turning to Nia, "Do you really intend to make this work, if Evie lets you back into her life you're not going to bail on her again?" asks Ji pointedly.
Nia looks at him, "I want to be a part of her life, if she will let me be. I'm not the same woman I was then Ji, I promise."
"You better not be, because this pregnancy makes her fragile, she's already dealt with enough as it is."
"I know, I won't hurt her again."
Ji nods and turns back to the sleeping samurai.
Nia watched Evie as she slept.
"We'd better stop this."
Nia looks at him in confusion.
"Evie doesn't like people watching her while she sleeps. Jayden has faced several unpleasant results when she catches him doing it."
Nia nods, "I'll just say goodbye and then I'll go, I promised not to crowd her."
"Wake her up at least" says Ji.
Nia steps inside the room, walking around to Evie's side of the bed. Leaning down she shakes her lightly.
Evie mutter something before her eyes open and she blinks a couple of times, "mom?" she asks.
"I didn't want to go without saying goodbye, and I got you these," smiles Nia holding up the strawberry laces.
"Thanks," smiles Evie taking them.
"If you want to talk, please call me."
"I'm still not making any promises."
"I don't expect any," assures Nia brushing Evie's hair back from her face and leaning down she kisses her forehead. "But if you do, this time things will be different."
Evie nods but doesn't say anything else.
Nia squeezes her hand before walking out of the room, she pulls on her coat and looks at Ji, "thank you, for everything Ji, for succeeding where I failed."
"Much as I would've liked to spare Evie the pain, I wouldn't trade it away."
Nia nods and with a final glance at her daughter she walks away, hoping she'd get to see her again.
A/N: Ta-da, so I may post some follow up chapters, with parts and pieces of what comes after. But the main story is finished. Thanks for those who stayed with me :D
