A/N: This is a tribute to K-ON. I'll miss it - until the movie airs 8D
This is only series of drabbles (is that what you call them?). There's some sort of continuity in them, but you don't necessary have to read all of them.
Well, as you can see, they are pretty short. It would be in one character's POV for each entry. And even though the summary says '10 years', it only means the events happen between after graduation and 10 years.
It's meant to be a light read so don't think too much about it ;)
Disclaimer: I don't own K-on.

The sun slowly rose from the horizon, its light gradually gliding over the tranquil town, urging the inhabitants to leave their slumber to enjoy a brand-new day. A certain woman was groggily aroused from her dreams, but she refused to even move an inch.
"MOM!"
"Mommy…"
Before her ears could even register the voices two human bombs dove on top of her, forcefully waking her up.
Two tiny, persistent hands tugged at her long bangs, while another pair of tiny hands tried to pull off the cover from her feet. She feigned sleep, ignoring the pain on her scalp and invasion of cold morning air.
Just when she thought it could not get any worse, she felt familiar arms encircled her waist in a vice grip, treating her like a body pillow.
Attacked from three sides, Tainaka Ritsu had no choice but to open her eyes.
Groaning, she tried to brush her hair with her only free hand. Key word, tried. The said hand was quickly grabbed by tiny but strong hands.
"Youko-chan! Mom's finally up!"
A small body climbed up and sat on her chest. Ritsu groaned again. "Are you kids trying to kill me or something?" She glared half-heartedly at the two smiling faces, their bright green eyes sparkling innocently.
"Mommy, Sacchan and I are hungry," Youko clasped her hands pleadingly. Satomi grinned, poking Ritsu's face insistently. "I want to eat Mom's special breakfast, NOW~"
Sighing wearily, Ritsu waved her hand in a shooing motion. "Ok ok ok, just get off me and wait for us in the kitchen. I'll wake up Mama, k?"
"Ok!" The two little angels, no, devils cheered and bounced off the bed, running out of the bedroom.
"Just how does she sleep through all that? And why don't they ever target you?" Ritsu turned her head, smiling affectionately at the raven-haired beauty who was still sound asleep.
Tainaka Mio's head was tucked underneath Ritsu's chin, but the amber-eyed woman could easily picture her wife's peaceful expression.
God, how I love her. Chuckling mischievously, Ritsu placed a light kiss on Mio's forehead…and tickled her.
"Riiiiitsuu!" Mio groaned, burying her face into a snickering Ritsu's chest while fending away the offending hands.
Turning sideways, the amber-eyed woman nuzzled her wife, earning another groan of protest. Mio's eyes were still stubbornly closed, even though her arms tightened around Ritsu's waist.
Gazing at the black-haired woman's miffed expression, Ritsu heard the last strings of her restraint snapping.
I swear this is a crime…no one should be this cute! You brought this on yourself, Mio-chuan~
Ritsu's lips grazed Mio's, almost teasingly. The latter mumbled something, but Ritsu ignored her and continued her path down her chin, her neck, and-
Mio's eyes snapped open, now definitely awake. "Ritsu! What are you doing-"
A deep, tender kiss interrupted her. Ritsu smirked to herself when she felt Mio responding just as eagerly. Mou, why can't she just be honest? Hehe, no one can resist Ritsu-sama's charm~
Blushing, Mio broke the kiss, breathless. "We shouldn't do this now, I mean, I'm still tired…you know, from l-l-last night-"
Ritsu kissed her again, this time harder and hungrier than the previous one.
"Hmm? You were saying?"
"Er-"
Chuckling, Ritsu closed their distance again. Mio's eyes flickered shut as she pulled Ritsu on top of her. Their lips met in a fiery dance; Ritsu growled when she felt Mio's tongue rubbing against her own.
Ritsu couldn't stop herself; her disobedient hand slid up Mio's leg sensuously-
"What's Mommy and Mama doing?"
"Shhh Youko-chan, you shouldn't be looking!"
"But why do you get to see, Sacchan?"
Ritsu was immediately pushed off the bed, her upper body landing haphazardly onto the floor with her legs still hanging on the edge of the bed.
Damn those little… She couldn't help but smile at the joyous grins on the girls' faces, though her view was upside down. A blushing Mio hastily got up from the bed and greeted the girls, who hugged each of Mio's leg.
Satomi had short black hair with bright green eyes and an impish smile similar to Ritsu's own, while Youko had long sandy-brown hair, intelligent green eyes and a shy personality, reminiscent of Mio's.
The couple had first seen them while reading through some of the adoption paper works. They simply couldn't stop looking at the pictures – the twins' resemblance to their own was uncanny, in spite of different hair and eye colors.
It was the best decision we'd ever done. A warm and fuzzy feeling enveloped her heart as Ritsu took a mental picture of her wife embracing their daughters. Thinking back, after all we'd gone through to be together, it is definitely all worth it.
Mio turned and smiled at Ritsu, as if she knew what was on the amber-eyed woman's mind. Yup, it's definitely worth it.
"Mommy, will you make us breakfast now?" Youko tugged her shorts, looking up with puppy eyes.
Ritsu tied up her hair into a short ponytail. Scanning the room, she spotted her apron. How did it get here? "Ok, Youko-chan, I'll go make breakfast now. Now go wait in the kitchen while we make up the bed." She patted the girl's head, smiling.
Nodding enthusiastically, Youko ran out of the room. Satomi folded her arms behind her head and gave Ritsu a cheeky grin, "Don't play with Mama again~ Youko-chan and I are really hungry~"
"Oh, go after your sister you little…"
Laughing, the girl smartly dashed out of the room. I swear, that kid has to be related to me or something… no, she's worse than me!
"Geez, I really get no respect around here. Even that Yui can get those two to listen to her!" Ritsu scratched her head exasperatedly, yawning. She tied the apron (which has bunny imprints on it) and glanced at the clock.
"Let's see, I'll make breakfast, then Mio can send the kids to kindergarten while I open up the restaurant -"
Her breathing hitched when Mio abruptly wrapped her arms around her waist, resting her chin on her shoulder.
"You look so cute in an apron, Ri~tsu," Mio whispered seductively, her breath tickling her ear. "I never get tired of it."
Blood rushed to her face instantly. T-that's right, the apron's here because Mio attacked me last night while I was cooking some midnight snack -
Ritsu tried to calm herself down the best way she knew – counter.
"Well, I'd rather see my Mio-chuan in nothing but an apron~"
Satomi and Youko giggled as Ritsu's pained yell echoed down the hallway – such was the typical morning at the Tainaka household.
"H-happy anniversary!"
"T-this is…!"
"S-stop staring at me like that! …wait, don't cry! That's not what I intended! Um, do you not like it? I-I'll try to see if they'll let me exchange-"
"Baka! I-I'm crying because I'm happy! Of course I like it. It's beautiful."
"Hehehe, I'm glad you like it! Ok, now…(deep breath)"
"R-Ritsu?"
"Mio. I know I've caused you a lot of trouble, and I know I'm not exactly the most responsible person in the world. But…"
"W-what are you doing?"
"But I know no one loves you as much as I do."
"R-Ritsu!"
"So, if you will let me, I will stay by your side for always."
"…baka…"
"W-wait don't cry again, I-"
"Always. Promise me."
"I was only... huh? What did you say?"
"..."
"Heh, does that mean 'yes'? I'm the happiest woman on earth!"
"B-baka! That's supposed to be my line."
"…You mean it?"
"…only because you're with me, Ritsu."
"…Mio…"
"I-I can't breathe! Don't hug me so tight, baka!"
"I will not let you go ever again. I won't. No matter what the world thinks of us, I'll protect you."
"I will not let you let me go either. And we'll overcome any obstacles together."
"I'll give you happiness, Mio, I swear."
"Baka, I'm already happy."
A/N: I hope you've enjoyed this short drabble!
It's inspired when I was doodling and then voila, the children and the rest of plot just went from there...
Portamento means a continuous glide from one note to another, usually of different pitches, and this can be done by instruments such as timpani. I'll leave it to you why I chose this word D:
Children's names...are obviously from their respective seiyuus 8D
The italics under each entry would indicate what pairing this entry is focused on ;)
And the last two lines, 'happy' isn't exactly the word I have in mind. In my head it is 'shiawase' but I have no idea how to translate that (and I don't really like what my electronic dictionary's english definition...)
Ah yes, Ritsu opened up her own restaurant... yes, she's a chef. Other characters' jobs will be revealed later.
