AN: This is the epilogue for the previous chapter. I thought that it seemed incomplete without one.

So many years pass by, but your love still stays the same.
Five Years Later
"That's right Fuji-san push." A nurse said.
Ryoma screamed in pain. The pain of birth is something that she will never get used to.
Outside Fuji was paseing back and forth. He was a nervous wreck right now because his dear Ryoma-chan was in that hospital bed delivering his twin girls. He heard all those horrible stories of childbirth and frankly it scared him.
He jumped when he heard Ryoma scream again. He bit his nails and started to pase even more. Tezuka and Atobe were watching him pase back and forth. A young boy about four with brown hair and golden eyes stared at his father with a confused expression.
"Tou-san, why are you paseing like that?" the young boy asked.
"Ah Tou-san is just nervous, but I'll be okay when mommy is done, Fuuta." Fuji said with a strained smile. His son walked over to his father and gave him a hug.
"Mommy's gonna be okay daddy. She said so." Fuuta replied.
Fuji smiled and he relaxed a bit.
It's been five years since he and Ryoma got married and had a child. Fuji had to admit it wasn't an easy five years. There were so many things that happened. Especially with the paparazzi tailing you everywhere you go.
Fuji shuddered at the memory of all those restraining orders, thirty-three to be exact. He especially didn't want to think about the bathroom incident. Who knew those reporters would be so…..desperate to get a story.
Things got even worse when the press found out about their first child.
Oh God, you know those restraining orders? Yea twenty-one of them were because the paparazzi found out about the new baby.
He had to hire security guards to watch over Fuuta so the paparazzi wouldn't go sneak into the house into Fuuta's crib to snap a picture or two.
Fuji sighed. He always got headaches just thinking of it. Of course, Atobe and Tezuka didn't have it any better. The paparazzi had an early Christmas when they found out that Atobe was gay and that he was in a relationship with the famous doctor Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Lord, those two were in court every other day for two month to get those restraining orders. Well at least things settled down a bit after the first year.
Then of course he and Ryoma got busy another night and a week after they found out that Ryoma was pregnant with twins. Well looks like another early Christmas for the paparazzi. They had to keep Ryoma inside the house for almost two months because the paparazzi would hound her and try to get a shot of her swelling belly.
Well here comes another ten restraining orders. Fuji almost strangled one of the reporters because he climbed up a tree and got into their living room and then he went into the kitchen were Ryoma was and snapped some pics.
Fortunately, Fuji, Atobe, and Tezuka were nearby so the reporter was caught. Still it was a hectic two months. Fortunately some famous movie star was caught cheating her husband, and they got some photos of her and a famous actor in bed doing the naked pretzel. Fuji had to thank the poor actress.
Fuji was so caught up in his thoughts that he jumped when he heard the sound of crying babies and a doctor shouting at his nurses.
"Oya Fuji it seems that you just got yourself another batch of kids." Atobe said smirking.
"Ahh. Finally I can breathe again." Fuji sighed.
"You were starting to worry us." Tezuka said.
"Ah I'm sorry." Fuji said apologetically.
"Really think of how much we'd have to pay to fix that hole you made." Tezuka joked. Wait Tezuka made a joke! There is a God!
There was a prolonged silence. Tezuka shifted uneasily and asked:
"Why are you all so quiet?"
Fuji and Atobe went out of their stupor and laughed nervously.
"Mitsu-niichan they were all surprised because you made a joke." Fuuta piped.
"Is that all?" Tezuka said with a small smile.
"What do you mean is that all?! Mitsu how many times have you ever cracked a joke?" Atobe exclaimed
"I freaking live with you and this is only the fourth time I've heard you crack a joke!"
"Maa maa Atobe. I'm sure Tezuka was just relieved after being under the pressure." Fuji reasoned.
Atobe sighed. Fuji always had a way with reason.
Before he could say anything the doctor came out of the room.
"Fuji-san you may all come in now." She said kindly.
"Ah thank you." Fuji breathed. He was excited to see his twins.
Atobe and Tezuka gave him a hearty pat on the back.
"You first Fuji." Atobe said.
Fuji entered the room and saw his wife holding two little girls wrapped up in a blanket. They both had their mother's emerald hair and their father's azure eyes. Fuji went to his wife and kissed her.
"Syusuke look your two little girls." Ryoma smiled. Fuji could hardly breathe. He'd been waiting for this for nine months and finally he could see his two daughters.
"Aa." Fuji managed to say.
"What should we name them?" Ryoma asked.
"How about…Tsubomi and Leiko." Fuji said with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Fuuta joined his parents and looked at his new baby sisters. He gave them both a kiss.
"They're so small Kaa-san." Fuuta commented. Ryoma laughed and smiled at her son.
"You were like this too when you were a baby." Ryoma said smiling at her son.
"Really?" Her son said in disbelief.
"Yup I remember you were so small when you were a baby I could have fit you in doll clothes. Right Syusuke?" Ryoma turned her attention towards her husband who was staring at the twins.
"...Ah. Right you were very small when you were born." Fuji said without looking up. Ryoma laughed.
"Syusuke, Atobe and Tezuka are coming in now." Ryoma chuckled.
"What." Fuji said turning his head around.
"Ara Fuji. You were like this when Fuuta was born." Atobe said. He and Tezuka were observing the scene from the door.
"Oi Monkey King why don't you come over here and take a look at your goddaughters." Ryoma said.
Atobe growled. Really and he thought that Ryoma would have grown up and stopped calling him that horrid name. Atobe sighed.
Heh. There's one thing that'll never change.
Atobe and Tezuka went over to them and looked at the two twins. They also held them for a moment too.
"Heh they look like you Gaki, but they have Fuji's eyes though." Atobe said.
"Whereas Fuuta looks like his father, but has his mother's eyes." Tezuka said cracking a small smile.
They all laughed.
"Maa maa. We should leave Ryoma had a tiring day and she needs her rest." Tezuka said.
"Mo I'm fine." Ryoma rebutted.
"Always a stubborn one." Tezuka mumbled.
"Hehe Fuji which one got the stubborn gene that Ryoma passed on." Atobe laughed.
"Saa I would think it would be Fuuta." Fuji said with his usual smile.
Fuuta pouted.
"Tou-san's picking on me again!" Fuuta fumed.
Everyone laughed.
"Maa. We'll see you guys later then." Atobe said as he and Tezuka proceeded to the door.
When they were out of the room they could hear Ryoma talking to Fuji.
"My Oyaji and Aniki are so stupid, planning out a party like this." Ryoma mumbled.
Atobe and Tezuka chuckled quietly at this and shut the door.
-Two months later-
"Atobe, Tezuka, glad you guys could come." Fuji said as he ushered the two in.
Atobe smiled and struck his Ore-sama pose.
"Of course Ore-sama and his Hime-sama came. Who do you take us for Fuji." Atobe said with a smirk.
"Heh I don't think Tezuka will be too thrilled to hear his new nickname." Fuji said with a sly smile.
"Well Tezuka isn't here anyways so he won't get mad at me." Atobe shrugged.
"Mada mada dane, Monkey king." Ryoma smirked.
"Wha—"Atobe started, but he was cut off when he felt a menacing aura coming from behind him.
Atobe nervously turned around.
"T-T-Tezuka. How nice to see you. Ahaha I thought you went back to the car to get something." Atobe said wringing his hands. He shot a glare at Ryoma and Fuji.
"We'll talk when we get home." Tezuka said then he turned to Fuji and Ryoma.
"It's nice to see you again. How is the baby?" Tezuka smiled.
"Good why don't you guys come in. Fuuta was so excited to see his god parents." Ryoma smiled.
"Thank you." Tezuka said. Atobe and Fuji stayed outside.
"I'm in deep shit now." Atobe sighed. Fuji laughed and Atobe gave him a glare, not that it had any effect on Fuji.
"You sadist you knew he was behind me."
"Saa." Fuji didn't get to say more because his four year old son came out of the door and hurled himself at Fuji.
"Tou-san help me Oji-san is going to eat me!" Fuuta cried.
"What did you do this time?" Fuji asked.
"I just told Oba-chan where he put some of those weird magazines with women in underwear." Fuuta said.
Fuji sighed really his father-in-law never changed. He remembered it wasn't that easy to get him to accept Fuji. Even after he told Ryoma that he didn't mind her marrying Fuji.
Her Aniki and Oka-san were much more open about Fuji and they easily took him in as part of the family.
Of course with Nanjirou he needed a little more persuading. God knows how many times he tried to break the two of them apart. Honestly the old lady disguise traumatized him enough. Nanjirou had escaped death so many times you'd think that God was on his side.
Fortunately, he was able to accept Fuji over time, well maybe not. It was probably when he found out that Ryoma was pregnant with a child that he stopped all that nonsense, or maybe it was that death threat that Rinko gave him.
Who knows. The good news is that Nanjirou had somewhat accepted Fuji.
"Syusuke, Monkey King, Fuutta are you going to come in?" Ryoma asked.
"Aah we'll be right up." Fuji replied.
Inside he heard Kikumaru cooing at his twins.
"Aww Ochibi they're so cute." Kikumaru said smiling at the twins. He made a tickling motion with his fingers in front of Leiko's face.
"Ah Kikumaru I don't think you should do that."
"Hnya?"
Grab. Stare. BITE.
"YEOWCH!" Kikumaru jumped and took his finger out.
"That's what I meant." Ryoma sighed.
"Leiko's the more abusive and protective one."
"Hnya. She sure gives one heck of a bite." Kikumaru said nursing his finger.
"Haha did Leiko get you too?" Fuji laughed.
"Aha Fujiko you're so mean. Making fun of an injured person." Kikumaru whined.
"Eji there you are." A man with a helmet like head and two side bangs falling on his forehead.
"Aha Oishi Leilei-chan bite me!" Kikumaru whined.
"Eji what am I going to do with you." Oishi said exasperated.
"You could always throw him into a pit of crocodiles and leave them to eat him." Ryoma suggested. Everyone sweatdropped.
"Tsubomi's the more peaceful one if I recall." Tezuka said.
"Eh she's a really happy baby when I last saw her." Atobe added.
"She takes after her sadistic father." Ryoma said as she stared at Fuji.
"Maa maa it's not like she's going to take after me right Mi-chan?" Fuji cooed.
Tsubomi just smiled. Everyone just stared and thought:
Not gunna take after the father huh?
Fuji smiled and took Tsubomi out of Ryoma's arms. Tsubomi just gurgled happily, but Leiko made a pouty face. Ryoma laughed.
"Syusuke it looks like she doesn't like the prospect of having her twin soul taken away." Ryoma smiled gently at her two daughters.
"Yea." Fuji laughed.
"Don't worry Lei-chan your sister's still right here." Fuji assured Leiko.
Leiko still didn't seem to enjoy her sister in a different pair of arms then her though but she seemed a bit more contented.
Tsubomi also seemed to be a tad bit uncomfortable, but it went unnoticed by almost everyone but her family.
Fuuta went over to the two twins.
"If you hurt them then I'll do something very bad to you guys so don't touch them." He said, arms crossed across his chest, legs apart with a determined expression on his face.
"Haha Fujiko looks like you won't need to guard the door when the suitors come." Kikumaru joked.
"Saa."
The two twins started to squirm.
"Syusuke I think they want to be fed." Ryoma said.
"Alright." Fuji lead Ryoma out of the room and she sat on the couch. Fuuta and Fuji sat on either side of her. The twins started to feed.
"Kaa-san." Fuuta said.
"Yes." Ryoma replied.
"I'm sleepy." Ryoma and Fuji laughed.
"Then sleep my dear." Ryoma cooed.
Fuuta yawned and slept on his mother's lap. Soon the twins fell asleep.
"Ne Syusuke."
"What is it Ryo-chan."
"We came a long way huh?"
"That we did." Fuji said snuggling against Ryoma.
"But we made it through right." Fuji smiled and he kissed Ryoma's forehead.
"Yea we did." Ryoma smiled.
"That's why please stay with me Baby." Fuji whispered.
"I always will Fuji Syusuke." Ryoma smiled. She knew that there still would be hardships, but they'll make it through together.
