I almost cried at the end, granted I'm 3 months pregnant so it's not hard to make me cry, but still so sweet at the end. Nikki is just darling! I just LOVE that she had her Grandad's personality. You did a fabulous job of bringing it all to a close! And Adieen and Fletcher having a baby together is so wonderful! Ugh, I'm getting teary eyed again, I think I need to end this review before I need some tissues!

Amazing! Just amazing!

And so, a great story comes to an end! :) I love it that Nikki is just like Ed - short and feisty! :D Ed isn't reflected too much in either Nicholas or Aideen so it's fitting that his granddaughter is just like him! ;) It was all I could do not to cry when Ed let Aideen borrow his flamel necklace for the wedding!! T_T just perfect! Riza's gun was a very sweet gesture too. I was kinda surprised that Nicholas and Victor still had this tension between them - which seems to have resolved itself now! They seem kinda mismatched but, since most of the other couples here are like that, they probably have a good chance of making it work. Good luck guys! :)

Ok, by now you shouldn't be surprised that I have issues/points of contention and freely share my opinions on them. Well, there were two things in this that really bugged me. 1 - Aideen was pregnant again and 2 - Nikki totally ruined the perfect RoyEd ending! UGH! grr. Issue 1: No, I'm not gonna slam on Fletcher again - but I could so easily. Damn brother, never heard of a condom?? sheesh. I don't think I will ever have a good opinion of him for some reason. strange. agree to disagree. I wasn't bothered by the fact that Aideen was pregnant by Fletcher; that was inevitable. It was that she chose to keep the new baby a secret. No excuse for that. Didn't like that at all. I shoulda been there with Ed. He and I coulda ranted together. Plus, she was a pregnant bride and I have major problems with pregnant brides. Trust me, you don't wanna know why. The reasons are lengthy and ugly. Issue 2: *sigh* dammit! dammit! dammit! Why couldn't the kid have stayed in her bed? ;_; I mean, when that door opened and Nikki barged in on the moment, I practically banged my head on my desk in frustration. "NOOOOOO!", I sobbingly wailed. Everything was winding down nicely to where it all began, Roy and Ed together, when the brat (thank you, Russell), Little Miss Interruption, ruined the whole damn thing. *sighs and pouts* so close to perfection and yet so far. The "Good night, Roy." "Good night, Ed" lines brought a happy tear to my eye. That was my favorite part! Some of the fluff of the moment had returned. :)
Well, this has been a fantastic story and I will miss it! :) Now I have to find another story and someone else to wrangle with! LOL!!

Hey! I really did try to write a review for the last chapter but I was so torn up at the end that everything I attempted to write came out all wrong. I was damned and determined I was not going to write a bunch of crap or come off sounding like a surly pouting raving bitch (not that I have a problem with being such or haven't done such before mind you!) so, after several false starts, I said, "to hell with it", and decided to wait for this chapter to come out. Only one more chapter after this. wow. It's been one hell of a joyride! :)

Whew! You have no idea how happy I am that Ed has his automail back! :D sqwee! I had wondered if the sudden flare of healing alchemy at the end of last chapter was both Aideen and Nikki reaching out to Ed because they both wanted Ed to be whole again. Yeah, I know that's probably reading WAAAY too much into it on Nikki's part but that's what I would like to think happened! :) I bet Ed's long hair is beautiful. I wonder if he braids it or just puts it up on a ponytail... (O_o? *shakes head* me and my random thoughts...)

I'm REALLY happy they decided to call the baby Nikki!! Thank you Ed!! *glomps Ed* :) Nikki Mustang. I like it! Phillis (never seen it spelled this way) is just ew. That name makes me think of this old lady I work with named Phyllis and it's just wrong to think of such an old name on a new baby. I was squealing with delight that Ed got Nikki a little red coat with a flamel on it!! *happy dances* :D Big shocker I know! ;) Ed's not the only one obsessed with that coat! LOL! I'm not at all surprised that Nikki came early. Nothing about the whole pregnancy's been normal so why should the delivery. :) poor Aideen. She's been thru so much. c-section. yikes. I laughed with a happy tear in my eye when Ed called Nikki small! XD Somebody's gonna be just like her granddad! :)

The only thing I have to say about Fletcher this time is that I thought the age difference between him and Aideen was the same if not greater than the difference between Roy and Ed. I know there's 14 years between Roy and Ed. hmm. Let's see. *googles Fletcher* Ok. hunh. interesting. It is greater. Fletcher should be about 32 now making him 15 years older than Aideen. hunh. Who knew? Fun facts to know and tell.

I feel kinda bad for Russell. He's still kinda on the outside looking in. Hopefully he won't stay a loner for much longer. This makes twice he was there to come to Aideen's rescue. Maybe now he'll have a found a friend in Aideen. It's a start.

Victor and Nicholas. Nicholas and Victor. Always together but not. They've been friends for ages but last chapter really made me wonder if maybe Victor was wanting a bit more than just friendship from Nicholas. (side note: The guy Nicholas was with last chapter was a total creep! loser.) He had no problem with Frank and Kain kissing so obviously Victor is just unsure of how to handle himself around Nicholas. *snerk* The little conversation Nicholas had with Frank and Kain before Victor arrived was so funny! Nicholas: "...I thought maybe if the two of you--" Frank: "Performed lewd acts in front of him?" LOL! Frank is such a naughty boy!! XD Good luck at the academy, Victor! :)
Update soon! *sniff* for the last time for this story. T_T

Ended with a birth aw! These things come full circle. hope the last chapter will continue inthe vien of nice tie up,i'm sure it will.

Nicholas/Victor eh? :D

but they are stll ruining philips name. died and didn't knopw that adieen thought he raped her and he had to be misble but she gets the happy ending. i don't think that is fair. he did all that but it's going to be niki everyone knows, not philis and philip deserved better than adieen. i'm sorry, i like the story just not adieen and how she is still treating philip even though he is dead. how come you aren't posting this on lj any more?

Ooer! i enjoyed this greatly! But then again, i usually do!

You can write a chapter faster than I can write a coherent comment! I'm still a little stunned by all that has happened, and still going back and looking at Dante in Aideen. You really pulled it off. It was good to see Hohenheim and his adoptive family back home and at peace. I feel so sorry for Aideen. She's had Dante possessing her body for so many years, and now she has a new life living inside her. And poor Ed. To have to start all over again to have working limbs, and maybe not to be able to have automail, is a crushing blow. Roy and Nicholas have a tough job trying to hold the family together. I did enjoy Nicholas's t-shirts, though. They all need a laugh, and something to distract them from the daily sorrow.

You did a beautiful job writing Wrath's final scene. Bringing Izumi and Edward in to greet him brought tears to my eyes. Very touching.

*tears in eyes* If Ed doesn't get his automail back, it will just kill me. It will depress the hell out of me and I will be no good for a week, possibly two weeks! I fully expect to be an absolutely inconsolable, completely unreasonable, totally miserable irate brat sobbing my eyes out if it happens! (I can throw a temper tantrum like nobody's business!! XD) I'm hoping it won't tho. Like Hohenheim said, after everything Ed's suffered thru, he's due some good now. damn. I just can't imagine Ed without his automail! It is SO a part of who he is! It's just expected that the automail be there! The automail and the red coat are and were his trademark. With the coat gone, the automail is all that's left to make him distinctly him!. Without it, he's, well, lessened somehow. And I don't mean that as just in physical strength. His whole persona, his presence, is diminished. I mean, Ed wouldn't be Ed if he couldn't clap his hands and do alchemy!! T_T To think that so powerful a person has been brought so low truly breaks my heart. Ed's dark mood had me worried there for a while. A positive state of mind is critical to one's recovery. Speaking of recovery, Aideen should be feeling better now that she's at or nearing the end of the first trimester. Morning sickness generally ends about that time so things will get better for her. Physically anyway. Mentally's a whole other ballgame. She and Ed both have a lot of work to do to get themselves straightened out. Russell too. An empty grave, a cold headstone, and, apparently, no one to fall back on have left him pretty miserable. He seems so alone in his grief. He's probably lost a lot of his brother's attention now that Fletcher knows Aideen is pregnant. Fletcher will be sniffing around Aideen's door more now leaving his brother to mourn in solitude. *sigh* They've all come a long way in their healing processes but there is still such a long way to go...
I really do hope Ed will fully recover. I don't want to cry any more for him than I already have.
Update soon

i went on vaca and then my oc broke and when i finally got back on i saw that u updated so much i had to read. i think the way the story is coming out is cool its different. i feel awful for ed i mean if he wont be able to walk or move well ill prob cry i mean hes been thru so much and when aideen was dante i was shocked i love this story!!! i miss wrath but frank and kain finally have a kid! i hope theres a happy ending! you rock! kep up the great work! <3

I had a feeling Aideen would be keeping the baby. When she introduced Roy and Ed to the baby and called the baby their granddaughter, there was no doubt she was keeping it. Aideen's going to have an extra hard time being pregnant because she doesn't even really know herself. She has to figure out who and what she is on top of dealing with all the issues that come along with being pregnant. She had no life of her own to be who and what she wanted to be and now has to be completely responsible for an innocent life. That's a lot to do. I don't envy her at all. It did make me grin when she thought that the baby was only the size of a bean. Reminded me of all the times Ed has been called bean-sized! :)

It's good she went to see Phillip and say her goodbyes. I don't know why but actually seeing the body of someone who's died somehow makes it more real. It helps you to accept it I guess.

Nicholas' explanation for why the Gate did what it did reminds me of that old Hitler argument I think I mentioned ages ago. The one where what would you do if you were there when Hitler was born - would you kill him then to prevent the deaths of others later or let him live hoping he was he lesser of two (or more) evils. Wanting Dante alive was the Gate's way of being benevolent I suppose. Ya gotta be cruel to be kind or something along those lines eh? whatever...

I wonder how Ed will react when and if Nicholas tells him that he can do the transferral transmutation just like Ed did. :) When Nicholas was little (I think it was when Winry had her baby) he did run around with a shirt stuffed under his own pretending to be just like his daddy! :D How funny (as in odd) would it be if history repeated itself! :)

Seeing Roy cry broke my heart! Roy upset and crying is my kryptonite! ;) This was a really good chapter and Aideen seems to be making progress towards reclaiming her life but when I saw Roy crying, I couldn't take it! *sniff* His baby's having a baby! ;_; We gotta hurry up and get Ed tended to before I completely lose it!
Update soon!
