Epilogue
Rin POV
I stare out the window at our snow covered yard. Glittery crystals of ice float gently to the waiting blanket on the ground, but it is light, not the heavy snowfall like earlier. It's dark night outside, but our porch lights and moon light cast a glow over the snow. I sigh contentedly to myself as I gaze. Suddenly I feel a tug on my pajama pants.
"Mama?" My beautiful three year-old daughter stands there, holding onto my leg with an arm raised up. I smile at her. Her wispy blond hair frames her sweet, full little face, and her huge blue eyes, darker and deeper than mine, stand out in her light skin. I pick her up, letting her chubby little arms wrap around my neck as she nestles into the crook of my neck. She pops her thumb into her mouth and stares out the window with me.
"Mama, what are you doing?" she says around her thumb. I kiss the top of her head.
"Watching the snow. Isn't it pretty?" She nods.
"Where's daddy?" She asks, and shifts around in my arms, trying to get a better look outside. I hear footsteps behind me.
"Right here silly." Len says, and I turn to see him leaning against the counter nonchalantly.
"Daddy!" She shrieks, and wiggles, stretching her arms out to him. I pass her over to him, and he draws me into his arms as well.
"Len!" I say. He laughs.
"Daddy, can we go play in the snow? Please please please?" She begs. Len looks out the window and sighs.
"Of course you can bunny." He coos. She shrieks with joy, and Len puts her down as she runs to get her things.
"Rinna, make sure you get your gloves!" I call, but only hear a mischievous giggle. I sigh, but Len wraps both his arms around my waist, distracting me.
"Hey." He says, grinning at me. I can't help but smile back.
"Hey." I reply. He leans down to kiss me softly, and I kiss him back. I lay my head on his shoulder, and he holds me. I can hear Rinna rustling around in the laundry room, singing quiet little nonsense songs to herself.
Len kisses my ear sweetly.
"How are you feeling?" He inquires, a little worry in his voice. I shake my head slightly against his shoulder and grin.
"I'm just fine. Been starving though. Even more than I was with Rinna." He pulls back a bit to look at me.
"That's ok though right?" I nod and tap my finger on his nose.
"You worry too much." I say. He pokes my stomach and I swat him lightly on his arm before Rinna bounds into the room.
"Mommy! You don't have your coats on!" she whines, pulling on my hand. Her face is flushed and eager. I crouch down to button up her hastily thrown on coat, and she squirms.
Len laughs at her childish impatience and walks to get our coats. As I pull Rinna's hood up, she bounces up and down slightly on her toes, barely able to contain her excitement. Suddenly she stops and leans forward.
"Did you tell daddy about the card yet?" She asks. I shake my head. I had forgotten all about it. I straighten up as Len walks back into the room, fully clothed for the outside. He holds out my coat for me.
"Len?" I say as I put my hands through the arms. Rinna dances around us excitedly in her pink and yellow boots, spinning like a ballerina.
"Hmm?"
"Our annual card from Miku and Kaito came today." Len sighs.
"Anything unnerving?" he asks his voice slightly tense. I turn and wrap my arms around him.
"Nothing at all. Polite, formal, and they wish us happy holidays. As usual." I lay my hand on his cheek. "Don't worry." I whisper. I see his eyes go to Rinna, and I kiss him lightly before drawing my hands back to scoop up our daughter.
"Come on daddy!" Rinna calls, gesturing with her little hand for him to follow us out the door. He smiles and follows.
Once outside, Rinna squirms and I set her down and look her in her deep blue eyes.
"Stay in the yard. Don't take off your gloves, or boots, or coat. Got it?" She nods solemnly, and then runs screaming into the snow drifts when I release her. Len slips his arm around my waist as we stand on the front steps, watching her, and I lean my head against him.
"Isn't she beautiful?" Len sighs, watching her fling snow into the air to watch it fall back down around her.
"Exquisitely." I reply.
"When do you think we should tell her? I think she will be excited to be a big sister." He says.
"You think?" I worry. He nods. Rinna falls down into the snow, and waves her arms and legs around to make a small snow angel.
"After all, more the merrier huh?" Len says. I smile. Suddenly Rinna sits up and turns around.
"Mommy! Daddy! Come play!" She calls. Len grabs my hand, intertwining our gloved fingers, and pulls me off the porch into the snow.
"Coming!" He says. She squeals and tromps happily through the snow towards us, arms out. Len scoops her up in one arm, still holding my hand with his other, and Rinna tilts her head back.
"Eat them!" She exclaims, pointing her mittened finger up towards the falling snow. She sticks out her little pink tongue, and we mimic her.
"Ah! Cold!" She says, her face shocked as one landed. We burst out laughing at her surprised little face. She scowls and squirms to be put down, and runs off into the snow once more. Len turns to me and presses his cold lips against mine.
I love you." He says.
"I love you too." I reply. Then we turn to watch our sweet excited daughter play in the snow as more filters down from the dark sky.
