Epilogue
1 ½ Years Later
The Kazekage woke to his usual sight; the sun rising over the sandy dunes, people busy in the streets, and his wife still asleep next to him cradling their two eight month old children. One boy and one girl. His son of course had his mothers' eyes and his fiery hair. While his daughter possesses Yumiko's chocolate locks and his sea-foam orbs. Ai (Girl) and Kouki (Boy). (Love and Hope) Both had a birthmark on their shoulders. Ai's was on her right while her brother's was on his left. The doctor said that they both oddly like the peace kanji. He was right. Gaara reached over and kissed his wife on the forehead.
"Gaara?" she asked, coming out of her sleep.
"I didn't mean to wake you."
She shook her head and gently placed her children on the bed. Gaara was up and searching for his robes. Since they were married, Yumiko moved back into his room-with only one bed this time. The twenty-two year old woman came behind him and buried her head in the crook of his neck. She looked good for a woman who gave birth to un-identical twins. But she had Kankuro watch over the kids while she went out on missions. Yes she did convince her husband to let her out of the village. But now she was staying at home, taking care of the children.
"We're parents," she stated glancing back at the two sleeping babies.
"How often are you going to say that?" the red head asked chuckling.
"Until it registers," Yumiko whispered hugging her soul mate tighter.
Don't get this wrong, they had their fair share of fights and disagreements but they always forgave each other. Gaara embraced her too and they both gazed at their children. The babies were huddled together under the sheets lightly snoring.
"They look like you."
Husband and wife laughed quietly, since they both said that at the exact same time. The children stirred and caused Yumiko to slap her hand on Gaara's mouth. She had spent way too much time just to get them to sleep. His hand was occupied by sweeping down her sides, knowing that that specific area was one of her weak spots. The doctor struggled to keep her laughter inside but she was braking. At last the young woman reached up to find his weak area. She tugged on his ear, causing him to jerk down to her level.
"Ah…"
"Gaara, I'm a medic and your wife. I think I know where your weaknesses lie."
He smirked and brushed his hand down the side of her neck. His finger swirled around the junction on her shoulder. That was just another of her weaknesses and again she struggled to keep her noises down. Yumiko twirled in his arms and kissed him to make him stop-which thankfully it did. But then it started to get passionate and, as much as she wanted to, her children were in the same room. She finished with a simple peck and helped the Kazekage get ready for his day. By the way it still consisted of scribbling his name over and over.
"I can finally keep my clan alive," she sighed as they took one last look at the babies before he left.
"I know; congratulations. Did I tell you that Naruto was coming?" he asked taking his hat from the coat rack.
"With Hinata?" she asked, given a nod.
Hinata and Naruto had gotten married. Along with Neji and Tenten. It was a very long year of weddings since everyone they knew had gotten married-except Kankuro of course. But he was dating someone from Konoha that he met on a mission. He finally met someone as stubborn as he was. With a final kiss, Gaara left leaving his wife to care for their children. She crawled back into the dark blue bed and went back to sleep. Hinata wouldn't show for a while and when she did she always helped with the babies. Plus Hinata was now Yumiko's only lifeline on what was happening with her friends back in Konoha. Sure they kept in touch, but it was more fun when you heard the actual story. So at one last look at the children before being consumed by her own darkness, Yumiko mumbled something for only her ears.
"I did it, Daiki-sama."
WOW... I did two chapters in one day. But the epilogue wasn't really meant to be as long as the others. But that's it for the story. I might redo Love and Hope in third person. But I'm not sure. but I am going to redo Deja Vu in third person so if you liked that I'll send a message out to tell you when it'll be out. I guess I'll work on another story now. But I'd like to thank all who reviewed.
But remember all because it's over doens't mean I don't like reviews so PLEASE! I LOVE FEEDBACK!
