A/N: Fanfiction user KH-Xeno requested a few chapters (epilogue) of the Just Missed the Train and Follow Me Home series with Roxas and Xion. I also know the J1210 and a few others would be interested in this, so I'll just write a little tidbit for you all and include what's up with the other characters. Normally I would just end it and leave it to imagination but you guys deserve it! But this will just be one, short chapter.

Follow Me Home: The Epilogue

Two years later.

Roxas' POV.

Being confined to a wheelchair was definitely a struggle. I obviously couldn't do the things I used to and everything was so complicated. Over time, however, I came up with different routines for myself in order to adapt to this way of life. I didn't have a choice. I could either whine and complain about it or just figure out how to live with it. I guess it could have been so much worse.

My daughter, Ayaka was growing and becoming more beautiful as the days went by. The sparkle in her eyes and the way she lit up whenever she saw me made me happier than I had had ever been. Her third birthday was coming up. I had just started teaching her how to read. She is really catching on quickly and she's very smart for her age. I'm proud to be in her life.

Heh... sorry. This is all I have now... and honestly, I that's okay with me.

Xion is the breadwinner. In a way, that bothers me because I want to help out financially. I've been trying to find jobs for the disabled but nobody wants to hire me. I could do some desk job, couldn't I? I don't want Xion to have such a burden, even if she is used to working two jobs. I'll figure something out soon.

I'll admit, we don't always see eye to eye on everything but what couple is perfect? That's right—we're together. I never really saw her that way until I moved in with her. Xion does so much for me and I really feel like I don't deserve her kindness. She says she loves me, but of course... I have issues. Who could love someone that could barely do anything for them in most aspects? After everything, I had become so insecure... but whenever I looked into my daughter's eyes, all of those feelings washed away.

Ienzo moved out a few months ago. Without him around, it became a little more difficult because I often needed help with every day things and Xion was working. But I'm slowly moving forward.

Every now and then I will see Kairi... on social media. I have not talked to her once since I moved back to Twilight Town. I noticed that Sora has tried to contact me several times, but I can't bring myself to talk with him either. It hurts too much to be reminded of what I had done to them.

I just...can't.

My bitterness pops up here and there but it is becoming more and more scarce as the years go by. I did what I could to keep Kairi with me. It's a regret I will take to my grave for wasting so much time.

But I can't change it. Oh well.

From what I can see, she and Sora—as well as their twins, seem very happy together.

Funny how things work out.

Xion and I will continue to grow and learn about each other. I hope I can make her happy like she does for me.

Someday, we'll make it alright.

I-.-I

Xion's POV.

I am so glad that Roxas is finally warming up to me. Even Ayaka is happy, and in turn that makes me happy. I don't mind working two jobs anymore when I know that I have them to come home to. He made me see just how valuable life can be.

I don't feel so alone anymore...

I-.-I

Namine's POV.

As time goes on, we grow with every experience. We can dwell on it or move on. As for me, I had to do what was best for my son.

And what was best for him—was leaving Riku.

Riku had changed. I didn't know what to do anymore. We were fighting constantly and it got to the point that I didn't even feel attractive anymore. It made absolutely no sense, because after the Kairi and Roxas shenanigans, I thought we would all be better people. But things happened to Riku. He must have met the wrong people through the host job...

Sora continues to try and get through to him.

I'm still recovering while putting on a smile for the only man that matters in my life. I will make sure to provide Ken with what he needs without his father... for now.

But I hope Riku gets help. I still love him, but I can't be tied down.

Kairi and I often go to the park and spend time at each other's houses. Sometimes, Sora comes too. We are best friends and our kids get along pretty well. So in that aspect, my life is just fine.

It will get better. I just know it.

I-.-I

Sora's POV.

The past few years... how to describe the past few years...

Kairi and I are closer than ever. Our lives revolve around our children and I couldn't be happier. Despite the road we took to get here, I am satisfied.

We are married.

We had twin boys. I was so ecstatic the day they were born! I can't wait to do a million things with them as they grow up! But of course, I must make a living. I became the manager at the toy company; Tifa decided to get married and settle down and gave the position to me, so I can't complain.

I'm home every night.

As far as things with Roxas, I have tried calling him a few times over the past two years to see how he was doing, but he never answered his phone. I really do hope he is doing better. Kairi never talks about him, but I know she would like to know as well. It still bothers me a little, but for the most part, I'm over it. I don't believe that Kairi will betray me again.

Strangely, I feel like the falling out was necessary.

It made me a lot stronger. Now, we tell each other everything—good or bad. I try not to let the past get to me, but I still have my moments. I am not perfect, no matter how many times she tells me I am.

I can't live without Kairi.

Call me a pushover, weak... whatever you want.

I love my life.

My parents have definitely softened up since the twins were born. My mom is extremely happy to be a grandmother. Ever since that surprise party where I found out she was pregnant with the twins, my mom had changed—for the better.

Even Uncle Leon was gradually doing better. I miss Aunt Rinoa every day. They really helped me through such a tough time.

I never really considered Vanitas as my brother, even if we were blood related. What he did to Kairi and the others was unforgivable. I will just forget him and help Kairi to do the same. I will do whatever I can because I love her and I love my family.

I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

I-.-I

Kairi's POV.

He keeps me from falling apart.

Without Sora, my world would end. A life without him would not be worth living.

Our wedding was absolutely beautiful. I could not have dreamed of anything better. I still couldn't believe that he took me back after everything that had happened.

On top of that, our children, Akira and Kosuke were the best gift I could ever receive. After experiencing a miscarriage and enough pain and torture to last a lifetime, their entrance into this world could not have been more perfect. Obviously I was scared to death that I wouldn't get to full term, but I'm thankful nonetheless. Sora is a great father (I always knew he would be).

I have learned so much. I can't express how glad I am to be alive.

Occasionally I would have nightmares, but Sora would be right there to comfort me.

He was always there for me.

I make sure to tell him how much I love him on a daily basis. I don't ever want to lose him again.

Even our time in the bedroom was not lacking one bit...

I just can't get over how lucky I am.

I definitely will never take advantage of Sora's kindness and caring nature ever again.

I was wrong.

I made mistakes.

...I had traumatizing experiences that no one could ever understand unless they had been through it themselves.

Even in death, Vanitas had left so many mental scars on me. Sora tries his best to make me forget.

But I never will.

(Sigh).

I also don't regret Roxas being in my life. He taught me so many things that I never would have learned otherwise. He taught me what I truly wanted out of life. He taught me not to give up on the one I loved, even though he knew that I didn't feel the same for him. He gave me hope no matter how bad the circumstances were.

I think Roxas was the most misunderstood of all.

Looking back now, I can see that all he wanted to do was love me. His actions weren't always the best, but I guess love makes people do crazy things. (I would know).

It still killed me to think about how he had to spend his life in a wheelchair because of it, though.

But I will never contact him. I can only wish him the best from afar. He deserves to be happy, too.

As long as Sora is by my side... and I have my boys, I will be okay.

All I can do is believe in a better tomorrow.

Everything has worked out for the best.

I-.-I

Axel's POV.

"I'm a freakin' DJ, guys! Come down to Club Sunset and visit me. I'll play your favorite song, whether it's a party mix, slow jam... emphasis on slow, (wink), rock hit, or we can even rap it out til our voices are gone!

...got it memorized?"

"Stop fucking saying that."Larxene punched me in the arm.

"You love me."

"Whatever. I want to break up."

"Okay."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Give it a few days, folks. She'll be back!

I-.-I

I-.-I

A/N: Alright, there you go! I will not write anymore on this series. Thanks everyone for all the amazing support! Maybe I won't "retire" after all... but a huge break might be what's really happening! 'til next time!

Sorry that Xion's part was so short, but Roxas pretty much covered it!

And don't worry about Riku, he will be just fine!

I noticed I never said what happened to Axel, so there!

o.o.o

(You do know that I change my mind constantly... right?)

Teehee!
