So with that in mind I really don't think I have anything else to say but I LOVE ALL OF MY READERS ^.^;
On with the Story (for the last time *Crying*)
~~~~~~~~~~ (Recap) ~~~~~~~~~~
"Fine Mai, I'll go take the stupid test, so stop crying ~Sigh~ please." He told her while wiping away the tears that still lingered by her eyes.
"Thank you Naru" Mai whispered as she slipped into a dreamless sleep. Kissing the top of her head, and looking at his family (Mai and the twins) Naru walked out of the room and went to the nurses' station.
~~~~ (And Now) ~~~~
~~~~~~The Epilog~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~One month later~~~~~~~~~~
"Mai we're so happy they finally released you and the twins today, Noll's being a big meanie and won't let us come by, and he even asked Lin and Martin to keep us in the house" Madoka and Luella both cried into the phone as Mai held it away from her ear
"He-he-he-he well I'm sure he has his reasons" she tried to defend him, somewhat, not really putting her heart into coming up with an excuse for her husband after the stunt they pulled with all the gifts.
'~Sigh~ I mean I know they were happy and all but, with all the gifts they brought for twins and me I'm surprised the hospital didn't try to open a second gift shop in my room' Mai thought to herself.
"Lue…. Put that video camera down …. They're not here yet!" Martin yelled in the back ground
"But I'm going meet them out front so I can get the babies on film" Luella yelled as she tried to snatch the video camera back from Martin.
"Mai tell them to stop being mean to us" Madoka wailed as Lin took the phone from her
"Mai-san can you put the phone to Naru's ear for a moment please" He asked her
"Sure hold on, Lin want to speak to you Naru" she put the phone to Naru's ear and turned to her side to look at their babies
"I understand" was all she heard from Naru as he told her Lin has hung up the phone and she pulled the phone back.
"What was that about, is everything alright" Mai couldn't help but ask looking at her husband face in the rear view mirror (she's in the back set with the twins).
"Yeah everything is fine Mai, we're almost home so get ready to be bombarded by mother and Madoka" he chuckled as her expression went from happy to scared. Don't get her wrong she loved them to death it's just they can be OVERLY dramatic at time.
As Naru pulled in their yard his mom and Madoka came running towards the car with cameras and video cameras in hand.
"Awwwwww their here! Look over here sweetie its grandma Hi, babies"
"Look over here I'm Aunty Madoka, Awww I just want to eat you both up" Madoka said as she snapped picture after picture after picture (you get the rest)
"Mother, Madoka could you not scare our kids their only a month old"
"What are you talking about…?"
~~~~~*Crying*~~~~~
"Come on don't be scared that's just your grandma, and Aunt Madoka there's no need to cry sweetie" Mai said as she held her daughter carrying her in the house as Naru held their son in his carrier.
"Mmm…Mmmmmm…Mmmm….."
"What's that noise, where are father and Lin? Mother, Madoka" Naru asked as he glared at the two
"…uh…" Madoka said looking at Luella
"…"
"Mother, Madoka where are they"
As Naru glared at them they both yelled
"They're OUT!"
"WHAT THE HELL…, Naru come here" Mai yelled from the living room
"What did you two do?"
"….." they wouldn't answer him as he walked to the living room
"Do I even want to know?" Naru asked as he walked in on Mai untying rope from around Lin as his father still had a towel in his mouth tied to a chair.
"Madoka, Luella REALLY" Lin yelled as Mai finished untying him and Naru was undoing his father.
"…well…. That's what you get" they said pouting while avoiding eye contact.
"Luella….." Martin said in a very calm voice.
"No, Martin you BOTH had it coming that's what you get for not letting us go put Mai up from the hospital" Luella stuck her tough out at them and ran into the kitchen saying something about dinner, after a minute Madoka followed her lead.
"~sigh~" came from Naru, Lin, and Martin.
"He looks just like you Noll" Martin said as he looked at his grandson who looked like he was glaring at the two that just left.
"I just hope he doesn't have your attitude" Mai mumble
"oh, I'm going to go see what their cooking" she said as she followed the other two out the living room
"Oh would anyone like something to drink while I'm in there" she said as she popped her head back in the room, there was one yes and two nods of the head, and once again she was gone.
When they were in the kitchen the rest of the group came bursting into the house making all kinds of noise (well most of them, John was telling them to lower their voices) obviously they didn't listen
"Lin how could you and Martin LIE to us, you both said Mai and Naru were stopping by the SPR office before coming home." Ayako, Monk, and Yasu all yelled.
"And for some reason or another Madoka and Luella are missing" Monk added. As they heard a baby's cry come from the living room, they all rushed towards it and almost ran straight into Mai who was also running towards the living room.
"Mai you're already here" they all yelled as they all stood in from of the living room where they saw Naru and Martin holding the babies trying to stop they from crying.
Martin handed Gene over to Mai as she came towards him "it's ok, they're stupid, so they cannot help but make idiots of themselves, RIGHT" Naru said as he looked like he was going to kill all of them.
"You don't have to worry they are all going to shut up RIGHT now" he said looking at them again making them ALL regret coming into the house like that.
"SORRY" they all said
"That's ok, Naru stop being mean, they didn't know we were here" Mai said to defend them but he didn't answer her, he just kept on watching Maya as she giggled at her father's face he was making.
"Yeah whatever" he finally said as everyone sat down and got comfortable drinking whatever was in their cup.
"Let's go put them in the bed Mai" Naru said as he stood up with Maya in one hand and her car sit in his other.
"OH NO HOW COULD I BE SO STUPID, I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THE NURSERY, OH WHAT I'M I GOING TO DO, NARU WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO, I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT IT THEN WITH US BOTH IN THE HOSPITAL..." Mai said as she paced around the living room trying to figure how she could forget something so important. She was so lost in her thought that she didn't realize Naru and the rest of them just pushed her upstairs in the direction of the nursery which was connected with Naru and Mai's room.
Leading her into the room he had to call Mai's name more than once, because she wasn't paying attention to what was happening around her. And when she finally heard Naru she stood in amazement as she looked around the nursery room.
Mai noticed that the room had two walls painted in a beautiful ocean blue color, that reminded her of her husband and daughters eyes, the picture sparkled when any light touched it, it made it seem as if you were watching a bright full moon surround by stars in the middle of the night, while you sat under a bright hazel brown tree, which the group notice was the same color as Mai and Gene's eye color, then next to it you had a beautiful baby blue, pink, and purplish sun set that took place at the beach that was painted on the last two walls with a window setting in the center. Two completely different pictures, that just seem to fit each other perfectly, it was like two halves to a whole picture that could never be compete unless they were together. Just like Naru and Mai and now just like Gene and Maya.
To say that Mai and the rest were speechless was an understatement, well that is everyone but Lin, Martin, and Naru, who knew what, was in the room.
"When did….. Who…. How…" Mai tried to say but couldn't finish her sentence; she just starred at the walls in awe as Naru went over and placed both Mai and Gene in their bed.
"This was done when you were in the hospital, who did this is not really important, and I am not going to answer your last question seeing as its stupid" Naru answered her
"My teacher told my there is no such thing as a stupid question" Yasu commented when the group snapped out of their amazement.
"Well your teacher lied to you, and should be fired for letting you and your classmates think that a statement like that was true." Naru told him.
"He-he-he-he yeah well anyway this is a really beautiful room whoever designed it did a wonderful job" John said changing the subject.
"But why does this picture look so familiar to me? I don't even know who painted this, but I'm sure I have seen both of these pictures before" Luella said as everyone in the room except for Naru, Lin, and Martin, turned to look at her.
"Really" they all said
"Yes, but I really have no idea where it could have been, I mean ….hm" Luella said trying to remember where she seen the picture at before.
"There is no need to remember something so petty as that, if you do not remember it could not have been that important" Naru told his mother when he turned to face his twins, as Martin and Lin just smirked at the boy known exactly what his mother was referring to.
"Naru's right it could have been a long time ago when you first seen the pictures, that could be why you can't remember where you saw them clearly" Mai said as she watched Luella trying to figure it out.
"Yes your probably right dear but for some reason it's really bothering me"
"Could someone we know have designed it" Martin coxed her along much to Naru's disappointed
"There is no REASON for mother to remember where she saw the picture father it will just give her a headache trying to remember" Naru said while looking at his father as if he just lost his mind.
"Well whatever, it will come to me in time" Luella said
"Hopefully not" Naru mumble under his breath for no one to hear.
"So, anyway who designed this picture I really must thank them for doing such a wonderful job" Luella said completely forgetting about the previous.
"That is not necessary mother, that person is no longer in Japan and is very busy" Naru told his mother trying to stop this conversation from going any farther.
"Well ok, but still I would like their telephone number just in case I want something designed for the house in the future." Luella asked not letting the subject drop.
"…. ~sigh~ …."
Lin and Martin were waiting to see what Naru was going to do, seeing as his mother was stubborn and wanted the number.
"….I do not have the number mother, unfortunately, I lost it while working on something." Naru answered.
Trying to hold back a snicker Lin looked away from Martin who was trying to do the same thing.
"Are you both ok" someone asked
"Lin honey, are you ok?" Madoka asked because it is really unusually for Lin to smile let alone laugh.
"I am fine Madoka; I just remember something from a long time ago." He answered.
"And what was that?"
"Nothing important, just a memory of the past, nothing to worry about" he answered.
As a big gust of wind blew in from the open window, two pieces of paper flew from their hiding spot and right into the hands of Mai "What is this" she asked looking at the back of each paper
"Gene and Noll" she read but before she could turn them over, Naru snatched them from her hands.
"Naru what did you do that for, what are those?" Mai asked trying to get them back from Naru.
"These do not have you name on it, do they Mai?" Naru asked
"No" she whined
"and it has my name on it so I can keep them" Naru said as he walked away from her but before he was able to stuff them in his pocket Luella snatched them from his hands
"And I'm your mother I can look at whatever I want to" she said as she moved behind Martin as Naru came to take them from her.
"Now let's see, ~gasp~" Luella said as she dropped both pictures, as tears came to her eyes
"Luella are you ok" someone asked
"Yes I'm fine, I finally remember where I first seen these picture before, how could I ever forget" she told the group.
"Really where?" everyone asked
Lin and Martin watched as Naru tried to make his way out of the room before it was too late.
"Noll, where are you going young man, I do Not appreciate you lying to me" Luella said as she noticed her son trying to leave room.
Naru knew it this was all Gene's fault even if he could no longer speak to his brother he still knew where that sudden gust of wind came from. "Gene you Bastard" he thought.
"~sigh~ Sorry mother but I did not see the importance of your remembering these pictures" Naru answered her, as the group looked lost.
"How could it not be important when it was you and Gene who designed this?"
"WHAT! Naru can draw?" was heard throughout the room.
"Of course he can" she said as if it was normal, like everybody knew it.
"Noll and Gene were always competing against each other and these drawings were submitted into a contest were they both won first place" Luella said laughing at the memory.
"What Naru, why didn't you ever tell us you could draw before?" the group asked
Deciding to ignore them Naru turned towards the door and walked into Mai and his room and closed the door with a silent ~click~
"Well I guess that answers that questions he-he-he-he" someone said.
"So who wants dinner" Mai said headed towards the stairs
"I do" came from different people in the room.
~SMACK~
"Shut you stupid Monk you just ate a few hours ago" Ayako said as she followed the group down the stairs
"What's your problem you stupid….." Monk was getting ready to yelled at her but before he could finish Naru yanked open the room door
"I dare you" he said as Monk ran too hid behind Ayako seeing as she was the only one still up stairs.
"Sorry" he squeaked out as Naru turned back into the room and shut his door.
~~~~ An hour later~~~~
"Naru dinners ready" Mai said through the intercom she had, she knew he heard her because of the other one in their room.
After dinner they all played with the babies, after a while they all said their good byes and gave their promises to come back and visit tomorrow, much to Naru's distaste.
Making sure everything was in order before he and Mai went into their bedroom, Naru turned off all the lights and came back into the living room where Mai and the babies were, taking Gene in his arms Naru ushered Mai into their room upstairs, taking a giggling Maya in his other arm out so that Mai could go and enjoy a nice bath. When Mai was finished she found Naru who was standing over his daughter and son who were both sleeping in their beds.
"But I thought their beds were in the nursery?"
"They are, but I also put one in our room just in case" was all he was willing to answer.
"Ok, I glad you did I really didn't feel comfortable with the babies sleeping in another room even if it connects with our" she smiled at him. Walking away to take his own shower, when Naru came back Mai was still standing over her babies.
Going over to her he wrapped his arms around her waist, turning around Mai gave him a kiss but instead of moving she wrapped her arms around Naru's neck as he deepened their kiss, picking her up bridal style he carried her over to the bed and laid her down with him on top, "We can't be doing this with Maya and Gene right over there Naru."
"Is it a crime to give my wife a good night kiss" he smirked.
"Jerk" Mai said as she tried to turn over to her other side before Naru caught her lips once again
"But I'm your Jerk, idiot" reaching over her once he turned off their lamp and pulled her as close as she could get before drifting into one of the best sleeps he's had in the past eight months since they found out she was pregnant, and that last month that they were all in the hospital.
"I Love you" they both whispered subconsciously falling into an even deeper sleep then before.
~~~~~~~~~~*Crying, Crying*~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~*Crying, Crying*~~~~~~~~~~
but like all new parents they found out that never lasted for long, Jumping up when someone tapped her on her shoulder she then heard the sound of their two little blessing, looking around Mai almost held her pillow over Naru's head when she realize Naru woke her up
'Ok you want to play that game' she thought with a smirk on her face
Mai went to check on them, than she brought them both to the bed and laid Maya down next to Naru's head Mai had to bit her lip so that she wouldn't laugh when Maya grabbed a hand (a baby fist) full of Naru's hair and started giggling as she pulled on it.
"You think that funny Maya" Naru said with one eye open
"That's what you get, why did you wake me up and go back to sleep Naru?" Mai pouted
"Mai as much as your brain amuses me, I would like for you to tell me how is it that I would be able to feed them seeing as they are probably hungry" Naru smirked as he saw a blush slowly creep across Mai's face.
Taking Maya Naru walked out of the room as Mai began to breast feed Gene, after a few Minutes they came back with a tray of freshly brewed tea.
Sitting the tea down Naru handed Maya to Mai as he took Gene, after they were both feed and asleep Mai and Naru laid them down back in their own beds, they both took their cup of tea and sat back to relax in their own beds listening to the sounds that both Maya and Gene made when they were asleep.
After finishing the tea they both just sat there listening to the steady breathing of their kids and drifted back into dream land without realizing it and a couple of hours later…
~~~~~~~~~~*Crying, Crying*~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~*Crying, Crying*~~~~~~~~~~
THE END
So how did you all like the Epilog it was just something that I needed to pull my story together ^^
I made it to where Naru and Gene drew those pictures because I figured that if there Genius they should be great in each subject (including art) right ^^. Although I do admit Naru is really out of character I just hope not too much.
I was going to wait to post this chapter until September 13th seeing as that's my Birthday ^^ (Yay me) but I'm trying to get my other story done or at least part of it, so that I can post it on then.
So just on a random note this entire story took 57 pages on Microsoft Word 21,067 words ^^. Although I really hate ending it with only 7 chapters, (only because I really like things to be even if I can help it) but alas with my story I could not so I'm kinda of sad right now ^^
So I guess this is see you later from me and Midnight (my puppy, who likes to types on my laptop while I'm writing lol) -_-! Not easy trust me.
Love Always,
Aktaiy.
