This is the last chapter and I wrote it slightly differently, I hope you don’t mind. First it is his mother’s thoughts, then Beatrix’s, then his own.
Chapter 8.
My little boy. My baby. My angel. He is so very dear to me. My darling. He was only in that hospital a month but without my precious child in my arms it felt as though he has been gone for much longer.
But he’s back where he belongs, at home, in bed, in my arms.
The 40-year-old woman gently brushed the small child’s hair out of his face, revealing more pale skin.
It’s not good for a child to be kept inside for so long! He won’t be exactly the same any more; it will be different for him, being home and not being allowed sweets. Sugar altogether is a big ‘no’ for my son. He’s diabetic now, but that means that my life is different now too. I have to give him injections, I have to prick his finger to check his glucose levels, I will have to be careful of what I buy, but perhaps most of all, I will to worry!
I know fine well I will worry. It will constantly be there, this fear in the back of my mind, haunting me always.
‘ Is he alright?’ ‘ Does he need help?’ ‘ What if he’s passed out?’ ‘ Is he sick?’ ‘ Does he need to go to hospital again?’
Oh dear, just thinking about it is making me paranoid and he’s lay against me! But there is no need to panic, he’ll be fine he’s like his brother; he’s strong, like his father.
Oh goodness, I’ve just thought, what’s his future going to be like? Maybe he will be a teacher like my other angel, my grown up baby, as he insists 23 isn’t a child’s age!
Oh, I remember my mother’s reaction when I came home one night and stuttered to her that I was pregnant.
“ 17 years old and you are going to have a child!” she had screamed at me “ You’ve ruined your future! Destroyed it!”
I remember that it took her a week to speak to me again, a bit after that she accepted it and even began asking me about names!
I made sure my eldest had a good career and my youngest shall also! I’ll make sure of it, even if it means pushing him, I shall not see him fail!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are definitely different to anyone I’ve ever met! Vincent, you are my best friend and have been for a long time!
It’s a shame my little brother can’t be as nice as you, then the world would be perfect … well not really but still … then again, Tuyen talks to everyone but you simply glare at those you don’t like. Why is that? Do you have a problem with people or is it you just aren’t good at socialising, don’t you like talking to people, do you even know how to do so?
I like your mom! You are so close to her, I’m not like that with mine, she tries but has too many other things around her. She gets easily distracted, especially by Tuyen, that little brat takes up most of her time. But I think small children are just very frustrating, I bet your brother found you annoying when you were younger.
Still I know he found you sweet when you sat with him and hugged him, I remember he once mentioned some girls who used to be in his class ‘aww’ing him when he was going out to the park with you. Did you know I have so many memories?
I hope that after school we go to the same college and then university! You are my best friend and I’d be totally lost without you, regardless of what I say.
Who knows, maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to tell you face to face,
Thank you.

The world is different now. Very much so. From the authorities that run it, such as Wutai becoming a tourist area and Shin-Ra being messed up, to the children’s schools, with them being mixed schools which teach different things to what I was taught. I remember that my school was one of the few to mix boys and girls.
I wonder what Beatrix is doing now. I haven’t seen her in so long. Will she be married? Will she have children? Grandchildren? Will she be alone? Will she remember me?
I wonder where my mom is as well. I know I’m an adult now but I miss her so much.
Cloud thinks I’m cold but I think AVALANCHE are wrong! They know practically nothing about me, yet they think they know all there is to know! They know nothing of my mother!
I love her so much! She’s everything to me and I would love to see her again, but it is so long since I last saw her, she’ll be old!
What if she doesn’t remember me? What if she thinks I’m dead? What if she’s dead?
No! No! She’s not! I’d know if she were, I don’t know how but I would!
I know I should be over silly ideas now, but I still have this idea firmly in my mind that she can’t die! I know it’s ridiculous but it’s there! So strong is this hope that she will be with me forever, that she will carry on protecting me, it’s frightening to think that anything bad might have happened to her!
She could be in pain, or in loneliness, she could be sad or tired. I wish I knew where she is.
I miss my mom so much! I want my mom more than ever right now! I love my mom more than the world I live on!
If I could, I would go to see her right now. I know that while AVALANCHE were fighting for the future, for the children and for the planet itself, I was fighting for my mom. I know it’s what she would want!
