~Epilogue~

The bed started moving as I felt the blankets being pulled off me, "Mommy! Daddy! Wake up, it's Christmas!"

I open my eyes groggily, "What the hell…" The hell bound five year old and two year old gasp, "Mommy, Daddy said a bad word!" tattle tales…

"Ohh, bad Sasu-chan. No Christmas cookies for you!" I glared playfully at the pinkette beside me, traitor. I grabbed the big one and spun him around, "Hush up, all of you. Now, who wants to open presents?"

All three of them perked up, "ME!"

"Say cheese Sasuke-kun!"

"No Hanabi, don't eat the paper!"

"It's mine!" "No, it's mine!"

"I suggest you two rock-paper-scissors for it."

"ITACHI DON'T ENCOURAGE THEM!"

After hours of chaos we finally got to relax. Sakura and I were curled up on the couch by the fireplace staying nice n' toasty while Itachi was pigging out in the kitchen and the kids were keeping themselves occupied (Hatsu-playing with his new Nintendo, Hanabi-playing with the wrapping paper on the rug). Out of no where Sakura starts giggling beside me.

I kiss the top of her head, "What's so funny?"

She smiles, "Well, I had a dream exactly like this a while ago. It brings back some memories." I smile and kiss the ring on her left hand, "What kind of memories?"

She doesn't say anything for a little while but continues to smile wider, "The promise…"

It clicked in my head and I kissed her lightly on the lips; Now it was my turn to here her say it, "Forever and always?"

I smirk at the blush on her cheeks; how I can still make her blush is crazy but adorable, "Forever and always, Sasuke-kun."
