Daughter Of The Revolution: Thanx again for all the favs and wonderful reviews. I read and love all! Anyways, here's the last chapter. Short and sweet and just simply about family and issues with mates . . . a particular pair too XD Why? Because I wanted to, and luv their crazy family spats ;)

"Ah!"

Axel fell over the moment his moving legs met the sturdy form of Roxas' leg as the blond Submissive struck it out just in his walkway. Axel had caught himself on his hands and knees before his face met the hard pavement just outside their home.

"Roxas!" Axel complained, shooting a dirty look towards his mate. "What the hell? !"

Roxas only crossed his arms, turning his nose up at his mate as he walked passed him, ignoring his mate as the redhead stood back up on his lengthy legs. Axel then let out a growl that didn't affect the Submissive at all.

"Really?" Axel questioned, wiping at the dirt on his pants. "Are you going to be like this during the whole reunion? !"

Roxas still didn't speak, but the look in his eyes every time he looked at the redhead, spoke loud enough. Axel only sighed with a roll of his eyes and threw his hands up in the air in defeat.

"Whatever," Axel surrendered. "But I'm not explaining to the pups about your sour-ass."

"You might as well, when you caused it!" Roxas grumbled, before turning on his heel and marching off, leaving his redheaded mate behind in a frustration of his own.

Ventus smiled once he finished fixing his clothing and appearance. He inhaled a deep breath of scented air before turning and outstretching his arms.

"So, how do I look, Terra?" Ven asked, looking back at his mate.

Terra finished combing his graying locks with his claws before turning to his beautiful Submissive. He smiled an affectionate smile and came closer to him, placing his hands on the smaller's shoulders

"You look great, Ven," Terra said with a nod as he leaned down, giving his mate a lick on the cheek. "The pups will think you haven't aged a day."

"Can't say I don't feel it," Ven muttered before he grinned brightly. "But, it'll be fun seeing everyone else's as well!"

"Yeah," Terra said with a smile. "Let's go, shall we?"

Terra held out his arm and Ven took it, hugging him close as they exited their home only to see their neighbors, who just so happened to be Ventus' twin brother and mate, fighting about something or another.

"Oh, great," Ven sighed out. "They're fighting again."

"What's new?" Terra asked with a chuckle as the two walked a little farther behind them. "They've been like this for a while now."

"Ever since we spoke about the reunion," Ven informed with a sigh and shake of his head as he watched his brother stay a far distance from his mate by walking at a quicker pace ahead of the redhead.

The two only shook their heads and continued their way, towards Riku and Sora's home where they planned on having the reunion between all the founding fathers and their families—since Sora and Riku had claimed the largest house for their ever-expanding family.

"Roxas, Axel! Glad you made it!" Sora beamed, welcoming the two in who, as soon as they stepped into the foyer, quickly separated like they had the plague.

Sora blinked in confusion, watching the two's reaction toward the other before his blue eyes trailed off to his mate who stood in the dining room, fixing up the tables and chairs and then setting the food out. Riku only shrugged his shoulders with a sigh.

Out of all the couples, those two were some of the worst when it came to temperaments. Everyone just learned to accept them like that.

Sora met and greeted the rest of the other families coming to the reunion. All of the Elders and their mates and pups, and so on and so on. Demyx and Zexion came with their pups and so did Terra and Ven who had met their pups before coming into Sora and Riku's house.

Eventually, Sora and Riku's litters arrived with their families in tow, but Roxas and Axel's entire offspring were missing.

"They're late, aren't they?" Sora noted, looking around, noticing how long the others had waited for them.

"Hhh, you did tell everyone the right time, didn't you, Axel?" Roxas asked with a grumble in his throat, but he didn't so much as look in Axel's direction when he spoke to him.

Axel's conversation with Elder Angeal was cut short when he heard Roxas from across the room. Axel bit his lip, turned his head and rolled his eyes.

"I did, Roxas," Axel growled. "It's not my fault when they decide to show up!"

"If they decide to come at all . . . so much like their sire," Roxas murmured.

Axel let out a louder growl and everyone else in the room grew concerned with whether they'd have to referee their fight outside. The two had been known to get into violent fights; breaking bones, bruising lips and ribs, even twisting limbs . . . of course the two were also known to make up with weeks long of passionate sex. So no one really worried about them, but lately . . . the two had been at each other's throats more than normal.

"Guys, calm down, I'm sure they'll arrive soon," Sora spoke out, popping in the middle between the two before they decided to toss down their drinks and tackle each other with claws slashing and fangs biting.

"This reunion's been planned for months, months, but now this fucking dick's ruined it!" Roxas growled, pointing at his mate who narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"Say that again you fucking bitch and I'll rip you apart!" Axel snarled, bringing out his claws.

Roxas stood from the chair he had seated himself in and readied to fight him. When he stood to his feet, everyone else gasped. They really didn't want to see this and especially not in front of the little pups.

"Not in my house, you two!" Riku growled, threateningly.

"Yeah, what Uncle Riku said."

The whole group turned to see Roxas and Axel's eldest pup, Lea, who had now grown in great similarity to his sire, minus his birthmarks. Axel was the first who retracted his claws and went up to his pup. He hooked his arm around his shoulders before bringing him close—the pup was just as tall as he, if not a little taller.

"About time you get here, Lea," Axel said with a smile. "I knew you wouldn't let me down."

"We only have reunions every two years, of course I'd come," Lea said, turning behind him and motioning his mate and pups to come. "I also took the liberty in tracking all my sibs down, making sure they all came on time."

Behind Lea and his raven-haired mate were the rest of Roxas and Axel's pups with their own families in tow.

Even though Roxas was frustrated at the moment he couldn't help but smile as his pups came up to him and Axel and embraced them close.

"How's da been treatin' you?" one of Roxas' Dominant daughters came up to him and embraced him, her blue eyes shining as she smiled at him, occasionally flicking her kinky red hair out of her face.

"It's been better, but I'm glad to see you all again," Roxas said as he looked at his children who all smiled and then showed him his grandpups who were still quite little, besides Lea's pups.

So, the reunion went well. Roxas and Axel still wouldn't sit near each other and it was starting to bug everyone. Especially the other Dominants who were more than a little unnerved with a frustrated aggressive Submissive, so they stayed by Axel's side while Sora and the others tried to get the blond Submissive to tell him what had been eating at him.

Roxas was quiet and wouldn't say anything. Their pups only laughed it off; seeing their parents like this.

"This is normal," Reno said with a chuckle, while his brothers and sisters all nodded in agreement. "Father and dad would get moody like this all the time—afterwards they'd have makeup sex and we'd be getting some new siblings."

Everyone laughed at that and Roxas couldn't help but grind his teeth. Why did pups have to tell everyone about their parents' lives? Sure, it was the truth. Because of this routine, Roxas and Axel were the proud parents of 5 litters. All adding up to 15 pups in total.

"They're either hot or cold, no in-between. That's a good thing, I guess," Lea spoke up with a shrug as he held a silver-haired nephew of his. "I wouldn't have my parents any other way."

"Well, it certainly wasn't fun when we were caught in the middle," Vaan spoke up, shaking his head. "It got so bad sometimes that we have to spend the night at Uncle Riku and Uncle Sora's place."

"Yeah," one of Roxas' Submissive daughters spoke up, whom they happened to name in honor of their close friend, Terra. "But it was fun."

"Never a dull life at our house," Peter spoke up with a chuckle.

"We all know that," Squall spoke up, his arms crossed and head shaking to and fro. "No one ever wanted to stay the night at your place."

"I loved it!" Zidane spoke up, though; his brother and sister whom he shared in litter only gave him a few good wakes on his head.

"You're so idiotic, little brother," Kuja spat. "That was a horror house! Not just with Uncle Roxas and Uncle Axel, but their pups too! They were devil children!"

"Yeah," Mikoto agreed with a firm nod.

"Alright, alright, enough with bashing our family, will ya!" Reno spoke up, trying to calm the subject or perhaps change it. "Let's just enjoy the reunion like we always have."

Everyone rose their glasses in a cheer and hail before everything went on like normal. The little pups played together while their parents communed and kept a close eye on them, and the older ones reminiscence about old times.

"Seriously, Roxas," Ven sighed out with a roll of his eyes as he plopped in the empty chair next to Roxas that no one wanted to sit in. "What's biting at you?"

"It's none of your concern," Roxas moaned, placing his elbow on the table and then his cheek in the palm of his hand.

"I'm your twin brother, sorry, that's a given," Ven stated before pressing at his older brother. "What is it?"

"Nothing," Roxas growled, looking away from his brother.

"I know it's something Axel did," Ven said. "What, did he jump you in the shower and make you hit your head again?"

"N-No!" Roxas gasped, his cheeks lighting up to a shade of red as he turned at his brother, motioning him to seal his lips since there were so many in the room with them.

"I'm close, I know I am," Ventus said, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms. "I'll keep spouting out suggestions until you give me the truth, Roxas."

And Ven was true to his word. He kept asking and asking before Roxas finally waved him off, his face more red than before.

"No, no!" He protested. "I'm sorry! My mated life isn't like you and Terra, alright? ! Everything's not always right with us!"

"Roxas," Ven spoke up with a sigh. "The last time you and Axel got into an argument was over what vegetables to eat for dinner. You two were so pissed off at each other for the longest time until you made up. You're a grown Submissive, Roxas. 41 and still bickering like puppies."

"Puppies wouldn't bicker over this," Roxas mumbled with a sigh as he shook his head before looking at his brother who offered him an encouraging smile.

"I can help, trust me," Ven encouraged before Roxas closed his eyes and eased some tension out of his shoulders.

"Don't you dare scold me over this, Ven. You've done it in the past and I don't want you doing it now, or else I'll never confide in you again, you hear me?" Roxas warned. Ventus only nodded and leaned in closer to his brother who sighed once more before he brought his sapphire eyes towards the cause of his troubles and narrowed them threateningly at him. "Axel . . . denied me in bed."

"W-What?" Ven stuttered for a moment before he caught himself, and his giggles. "Axel, the, uh, sex addict, did that?"

"You're laughing at me," Roxas grumbled, pointing at his brother accusingly.

"N-No, I'm not, really," Ven said, shifting nervously in his chair while bringing his fingers to lips to try and hide his smile and giggles.

"You don't understand!" Roxas complained. "Every time, EVERY time he's in the mood, I let him, but lately I've been in the mood and every time, EVERY time he's cleared the bed and slept in another room. What is that? !"

"Weird," Ven muttered before looking towards Axel who looked like he was having a good time, talking to his boys. "Axel's never usually like that. Have you asked him why?"

"Yes!" Roxas hissed. "But he won't tell me anything!"

"Honestly," Ven spoke up, placing a hand over his heart. "That's worse than what vegetables to eat for dinner, but still—as I've stated before—your fights with Axel are always so . . . overdramatic."

"Of course they are," Roxas said with a sigh before turning his gaze towards Zexion and Demyx who were holding up some newborn grandpups of theirs. "Demyx and Zexion hardly ever fight—and if they do, Zexion always wins. You and Terra, fighting isn't even a word in your home. My friend, Cecil, he's got two mates, TWO, and yet they've had many pups together and never fight, Dominant or not."

Roxas groaned and rubbed his face into his folded arms, looking quite dead on the table.

"I don't know what's wrong with me and my family! Why can't we be normal like you guys? !"

"Because then you wouldn't be you, now would you?" Ven suggested, rubbing his twin's back before their Dominants started raising their voices and it was Riku who spoke up first to silence everyone.

"Alright, announcements!" Riku called out. "It's been two years since we've last had a get-together—and, for some of us, it's only been a day, so, we'd like to know what's going on in everyone's lives."

"Much to my dismay," Lea spoke up, motioning to his adopted blond little brother who stood next to his silver-haired mate, clinging to all three of their pups. "My little brother mated himself to Elder Sephiroth and had his first litter."

"How many?" Sora called out.

"Three," Cloud spoke up, looking at the youngest he held in his arms while his mate held the oldest two. "All boys, all Dominant."

"Congratulations," Terra spoke out.

"Anything else?" Riku asked.

"We're moving next week out into the country," Demyx and Zexion spoke up.

"Really?" Riku asked. "Don't like the city life anymore."

"It's not that," Demyx spoke up. "Our pups and grandpups all left the city and we just want to live near them. So we can see them grow up."

"That's understandable, but we'll miss you," Terra said with a nod as he raised his glass and cheered for a good move.

"Anything else?" Riku asked. "Nothing else happening lately?"

"I'm sure you don't want to get into the happenings in the city," Elder Genesis spoke up, taking his nose away from his book to look at everyone. "I'm sure Elder Roxas can tell you all about it. In fact, that's probably what set him in a mood."

The whole room chuckled, even Ven, who patted Roxas' back.

"It's all right, Roxas, you're not the only one frustrated with it," Ven said. "I'm sure that adds to yours and Axel's argument."

"You have no idea," Roxas said with a sigh. "I sometimes just want to claw some peoples eyes out . . . but that's normal, right?"

Ven only shook his head and laughed lightly while leaning into his brother and giving him a kiss while he leaned against him.

"You'll get over it, everyone always does," Ven said softly while Roxas leaned back into his brother's warmth, snuggling close and missing how when they were little they used to do this for hours on end when, now, Roxas had Elder duties and then frustrations at home—it seems more so than when all their pups left. "Ever think of retiring?" Ven suggested. "You haven't been the same since the pups grew up."

"I miss them," Roxas admitted. "Sure we'll get visits from them and their families, but it's not the same as hearing little feet running across the halls 24/7."

"Know what you mean," Ven agreed. "But it's the way of life. You just need to slow down for a little while."

"Maybe," Roxas said with a nod before turning hard eyes back to his mate who actually met his eyes for a moment before raising his hand, catching Riku's attention.

"Got an announcement, Axel?" Riku asked.

Axel only shrugged before he began to speak.

"I know everyone's noticed mine and Roxas' distance lately. No, we don't hate each other and no this isn't over something petty, I assure you." Axel then turned his emeralds towards Roxas and sighed out, looking at him apologetically. "Roxas, I know you just want to be close me and I'm glad, but I didn't mean to push you away like that, honestly. It just came out wrong."

"Really?" Roxas spoke up, crossing his arms; all tension in his limbs returned as he leaned back against his chair and stared his mate down. "Then, please, explain yourself."

"No fighting, guys," Riku warned once more, raising his hands to motion them to calm their tempers.

"I wanted the reunion to be happy for you," Axel said. "You always look forward to it every time. You even always overexert yourself when you don't have to. So I took the liberty in helping Sora and Riku out while you dealt with your Elder duties since you've gotten so frustrated with them lately. I even called the pups, granted I didn't know Lea would take his sweet time—"

"Hey! It wasn't my fault that my sisters and brothers weren't all ready when they should have been!" Lea protested, but Axel raised his hand and quieted his pup.

"But they did," Axel finished, easing his shoulder tension while he smiled softly at his mate who was now beginning to understand why Axel had forced him to rest so much. "I wanted you relaxed and refreshed for today."

"Then how come—?" Roxas began, about to ask about the multiple times when Axel would sleep somewhere else than their bed.

"I'm sorry about that, really I am, Roxas," Axel apologized. "But . . ." Axel let out a chuckle, shaking his head before he looked at Riku and raised his hand again. "I've got another announcement! Roxas is with pup!"

Not one mouth in the room was spared a gasp to escape. Eyes widened as heads turned to look on an equally surprised Roxas who looked as if he were about to say something but then he turned to Axel, looking at him nervously.

"Axel!" Roxas whined. "This isn't funny, you asshole!"

"Sorry," Axel apologized once more. "The reason why I wasn't willing to take you or share the same bed as you is because you smell so goddamn awful."

Roxas' mouth dropped once more and he looked at everyone, especially his pups who looked at him up and down and then shook their heads in disbelief.

"So, I won't be the youngest anymore," Cissnei concluded with a giggle as she and the rest of her siblings ran over to their Submissive and held him close.

"You—You jackass, Axel!" Roxas cried out again, wiping at his leaking eyes as a smile replaced his frown upon his lips. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I wanted it to be just as much a surprise to you as it was to me when I first smelt those turn-off pheromones," Axel said, shaking his head.

"That explains things," Terra spoke up. "I thought he smelt like a pupped Submissive, but I shook it off as nothing since it's been years since his last litter."

"Well I'll be," Zexion gasped, shaking his head with a smile while everyone came closer to Roxas and congratulated him before Roxas finished wiping off the tears from his eyes and looked at his smiling mate who raised his glass to him.

"To you, Roxas," Axel whispered before drinking down the whole substance.

Roxas smiled and felt new tears begin to slip down his cheeks. He was still angry with his mate, but now that he had a reason, he understood. Still . . . Axel could have told him!

With the new litter on the way, Roxas didn't feel as old and worn as he used to. He had to be lively for the new little ones on the way. But then again . . . that brought on the frustration of preparing for the new arrivals and now Roxas was beginning to feel a dread rise up in him . . . but he had plenty of time for dread. Right now, now was a time for rejoicing.

Roxas had never liked an empty nest anyway.

But he had never had eight pups in one litter before.
