Summary: At the end of every story is a new beginning.
A/N: Thank you so much to everyone that has supported me throughout this series!!! And especially to
Taguchi doesn't exactly have the best track record when it comes to doing things behind Ueda's back, but he knows he can't go wrong here and he wants it to be a surprise, besides, he doesn't know how many dogs they'd end up with if he took Ueda on a tour of the city’s dog shelters with him.
He doesn’t know what he’s looking for, but despite feeling sorry for every single one of the dogs he’s seen in the two rescue centres he’s visited so far, none of them have felt quite right for them.
As he walks around the third rescue centre, he still doesn’t know what he’s looking for but the moment his eyes land on a little ball of grey, black and white fur, he knows he’s found it.
“She sure is a pretty little thing but those bright blue eyes come at a price.” The carer explains when Taguchi points her out. “She's deaf, she’s going to be a lot of work, but she’s got collie in her so she’s smart and she’s still young enough to learn easily.”
It’s kind of perfect really, Taguchi thinks, he knows a puppy isn’t a replacement for a child and he knows that it wouldn’t be fair on the puppy to try and make it one, but having a puppy with special needs will be both tiring and rewarding, and that should be enough for them for now. He doesn’t say that aloud, just answers with a simple “We have quite a lot of experience with dogs, I’m sure we’ll be able to adapt to her needs.”
It’s easier than he’d expected, there are a few forms and he has to give his details so that they can check in on the puppy in the next few weeks, but twenty minutes later he’s walking back down the sidewalk with their new puppy in his arms and already he’s thought of the perfect name for her.
When he arrives home he hears the TV playing low in the sitting room and he pokes his head through to tell Ueda to close his eyes.
“What’s going on?” Ueda asks sceptically.
“I did something impulsive.” Taguchi admits. “I just had this idea and I knew that it would make us both happy so I went with it…open your eyes.” Ueda opens his eyes and gasps at the sight, Taguchi can feel the little dog’s tail wagging ferociously against his side. “Uepi, I'd like you to meet our new baby. I hope you don't mind but I already named her…her name is Blue.”
Ueda shakes his head with a laugh, his eyes filling up with tears as he steps forward to tussle her fur. “Our baby, Blue.”
The End

Thank you so much for all of your support! I have a few multichapter fics that I'll start posting once I'm available little further with them! I don't want to fall into the same trap of having months between chapters while I try to finish writing! In the meantime I'm looking forward to the one-shot spin off you have planned!

OF COURSE THAT HAD TO BE AT THE END!! LOL you have no idea how hard I laughed when I read that xD Oh my goodness so they got their baby blue after all huh? This was so heartwarming to read! (Not gonna lie, I was either expecting smut or angst from you...yes even in the epilogue I was psyching myself up for potential angst lol) Again this was so sweet and I'm so happy that they have their own version of a happy ending here >w< Aaah actually there's so much more I want to know from their story! But like you said sometime ago it'll probably never end if you kept going huh?
*huggles* I'll say it again congrats for finally putting this to a close and thank you so so much for the entire series! <3

You know how bad I am ending things, there definitely won't be a part 6 or anything but there may be more small peeks into the Baby Blue world in future so keep those ideas in mind ;P
Thank you for your continuous support ♥
