Epilogue
After Mikan graduated from Alice Academy she found out her mother owned a big company just like her father. Mikan's father's company was shut down by Himeko a while after he died.
Unlike her father's company her mother's was still being run by Mikan's aunt. Her aunt happily handed over the company to her niece and now Mikan was the respected CEO of the Sakura corps.
Natsume toke over his parents' company, the Hyuuga corps. It was worldwide news when Natsume married Mikan. They still live in the same mansion with Mikan and Natsume's friends living nearby.
Akemi is now 12 years old. She has a 10 year old brother, Morio. The littlest of the family was the 5 year old twins, one girl, Hana, and one boy, Haru.
Mikan's POV
"Mommmmy! Daddddy! Onii-chan doesn't let me play ball with him!" I hear Hana and Haru call in unison.
Natsume and I turn around from fixing sandwiches for lunch in the kitchen to see them running to us. I pick up Hana and Natsume gets Haru.
I sign annoyed.
Morio has his friends over and he usually ignores the twins during that time.
There have been a lot of improvements to my mansion. We added 2 basketball courts, 3 gazebos, a soccer field, a large flower garden, a spacious picnic area, and two pools to separate the kids since they often fight in the water. Sakura trees surround the borders of the backyard.
The basketball courts are side by side at the farthest part of the yard. The picnic area is next to it with a gazebo in the center and on the other side is the soccer field. The pools are around the center of the yard with a gazebo separating them. Another gazebo is near the main backyard entrance from the house. The garden surrounds the gazebo near the house away from the danger of the all the wild sports.
Natsume and I finish making lunch, pack everything in a basket and head out to the backyard with the twins still clinging to us.
I set the basket down on the picnic table in front of the gazebo and head over to the basketball court.
"Morio" I say strictly loud enough for him and his friends to hear
He sees the twins and starts freaking out.
"Sorry I'll play with them I'll play with them but don't take away from video games!" Morio begs.
Natsume chuckles.
"Well, I was just going to give you a warning to not be mean to your siblings and we were going to play with them until Akemi comes back from shopping but that works too" I smirk at my oldest son.
His face drops; totally surprised and looks really annoyed like he's going to throw a tantrum but hurries back to his friends to keep playing.
Morio looks more like Natsume and often acts like him but he can suddenly have my personality.
"I'm back! Mom! Dad!" Akemi shouts as she runs toward us
"Hello sweetie"
"Onee-chan play play play" Hana and Haru say as they run to hug their older sister
"Later, it's time to eat lunch" I say calmly
"Morio time to eat your friends too" –Natsume
"Okay come on guys lunch"
Morio and his friends sit on one table while Natsume, Akemi, the twins, and I sit on another picnic table.
The maids place the sandwiches and drinks in front of us, bows, and moves away.
I hear Morio shouting along with his gang about the basketball game but ignore it and turn my attention to the twins. I was sitting next to Natsume with Akemi and the twins across from us.
I giggle seeing Akemi trying to handle both kids at once. She does a good job after a little struggling.
Akemi and the twins leave soon to play in the soccer field. The other boys were already back on the court.
I sit next to Natsume under a Sakura tree watching the happiness of the children.
"Whattcha smiling about?" –Natsume
"At how I get to see my kids happy"
"Are you happy?"
"Of course! I have a beautiful place to raise my children. They're succeeding in the best ways possible. And I have a loving husband."
He smiles and leans over to kiss me.
As soon as it breaks Natsume speak.
"My life may not be perfect but it's what I've always dreamed of"
