Resolution and the End of Life's Chapter

The two stood there in complete silence. The two snow leopards stared at each other for a while, Raoshu's stare was obviously one of regret and fear of hatred. Wugu's stare couldn't be made out. They were sitting face to face with Po and Xiong on the sides to make sure Wugu didn't retaliate. Surprisingly, when he saw Huai and she told the whole thing, he didn't react... at all. Wugu sighed. "Huai-"

"I understand if you want to disown me and forever reject me. You have that right. But for the sake of Huanzhe, please don't let this affect him. I know that's near to impossible but he's really excited to hear about his real dad. I know you won't forgive me right away, but-"

"It's me who should be asking your forgiveness," Wugu interrupted.

"Huh?" Raoshu, Po, and Xiong all exclaimed.

"That's the last thing I thought you would say," Po mentioned, "After thirty years or so."

"It was technically my fault."

"What do you mean?"

"If I had handled the situation differently and just told Po, none of this would have happened. We could have worked out something, but... it was just in the heat of the moment," Wugu sighed. "Besides, my child is alive and now the little one has more family to play with. So, I'm the one that should be sorry." Raoshu blinked for a while, then laughed for the first time in a while.

"You're as idiotic as I remember," She laughed. "How in the world could this be your fault? I'm the one who seduced you remember?"

"Really? I wondering who it was," Po said, satisfied. Xiong, Wugu, and Raoshu all looked at Po. "I mean, I was wondering how it all happened, you know? Were there butterflies the first moment, was it sleeping in each other's bed, was it a gradual accidental walking into the shower, seeing each other naked?"

"Actually it was-"

"THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT!" Huai shouted, immensely embarrassed.

"What is important is that both of are sorry for what you've done and you want to repair things," Xiong added. Wugu smiled as he got up from his seat and hugged his sister.

"I've missed you."

"I've missed you too," Raoshu shakingly said. Her family was coming back together.

"That's good. What else?" Crane asked.

"Well, Raoshu met the rest of the family. Mei-Ling, Viper, Shifu weren't too excited to meet her. My dad, surprisingly, had the hardest time adjusting to it, but ultimately forgave her."

"Why surprisingly?"

"He's usually the first to forgive."

"Hmmm, what about Song?"

"HA! That was a funny story. When Huai finally met Song, they became friends in an instant, even after telling her backstory."

"Okay, what's wrong with that?" Crane asked.

"They spent all day with each other," Po laughed. "They got along so well that they would watch movies together in their free time and lounge on the couch. We thought that Song was going back to her homosexuality."

"Did you ask her?"

"Well, Xiong and I did," Po laughed harder, "Oh, that was a fun day."

"WHAT!?" the two female snow leopards exclaimed.

"I told you they wouldn't take it well," Po muttered to his brother.

"Why on earth would you think that? I'm married to you, Xiong?" Raoshu exclaimed.

"I know, but... you have to admit that you do spend a lot of time with her," The older panda replied.

"So what? I can't be close to females?!"

"And Po, you think I would just dive back into my past mess that quickly?" Song accused.

"Well, you did say it was a part of yourself."

"Yes, and I threw that part of myself away!" Song shot back.

"It's just that the way you guys act around each other is... well... it just looks a little-"

"Homo?" Xiong finished.

"I was trying to find a better way to put it, but yes," Po muttered.

"We are not having sex with each other," The two snow leopards said in perfect unison.

"Okay, okay, we misjudged you and we're sorry," Po apologized as the phone rang. Raoshu went to go answer it.

"You know, it's kind of too bad that you two weren't 'involved'," Xiong cockily smirked. Po knew that he was about to get his foot in his mouth, but let his brother speak anyways. Song crossed her arms and smirked at the panda.

"Oh? And why is that?"

"I'm not against having a bit of fun. Besides, there's more than enough of me to go around," Xiong smugly said.

"I'm sure that your wife wouldn't appreciate you sleeping with another woman," Song said, knowing that Xiong was joking.

"Not if she's there alongside you. I'm sure I can please both of you at one time," Xiong confidently said.

"Are you saying that I'm not enough?" Raoshu asked behind him, arms crossed, eyes narrowed, teeth bearing, and posture intimidating. She was much shorter than Xiong, but she had been around Tigress as well. Xiong was scared stiff.

"Honey, I was just... what I mean is... I was... Po help me!"

"You're on you're own. Come on, Song, we're gone," Po said, leaving the room.

"Honey, I-"

"So you don't think I can't handle you," Raoshu sternly said.

"Hehe," Xiong nervously laughed.

"What happened after that?" Crane asked.

"Well, about four weeks later, Raoshu was pregnant with Jiu-zhu. And Xiong had back problems for a week after that incident," Po laughed. Crane snickered.

"Wow, your life has been amazing to record and document, Po," Crane sighed as he looked at the clock. "Well, I think I have enough for your book. I'll contact you when the novel's done."

"Alright, thank you, Crane. And hey? Call us more. You need to stop being so isolated," Po replied. Crane laughed as Po went out of the office. Po drove to his house after going by work. It was late in the night and the kids were already in bed when he came in. Huanzhe was staying over for the night and Po smiled at the snow leopard and his own sons. They had become complete brothers overnight. Po sighed as he went to his room where he saw Tigress waiting for him. "I'm surprised you're up."

"I thought I would go to sleep with my husband this time. Literally speaking," Tigress smirked. Po smiled and got into their bed. Tigress shifted herself over to her panda and snuggled under his fur. "How was it with Crane?"

"He was hysterical as always about the recent changes," Po laughed.

"Hmmm," Tigress hummed. They were silent for a while before Po starting singing.

"When peace like a river attendeth my way," Po started. Tigress chuckled.

"When sorrows like sea billows roll," Tigress added.

"Whatever my lot."

"Thou hast taught me to say."

"It is well, it is well with my soul," They sang together. Tigress chuffed happily as she slept on Po's chest. Po smiled as he looked up at the ceiling slowly falling asleep. Before he did though, he muttered something.

"It is finally well with my soul," Po sighed and then fell asleep.

The End

There you go!

So surprisingly this whole thing came from my own problems with acid reflux. Then I thought what if Po had acid reflex? In combination with the hymn I got this story out of my mind. While none of this happened to me it does seem likely to a character like Po.

I hope it was a story worthy to look at. Hopefully, I will be able to do more full-length stories.
