War Torn
Chapter Nineteen: Epilogue


Tai walked through the house, searching for Sora. He hadn't seen her since the early morning before he went to work. Now the house was dead silent, and Tai was worried. It wasn't like his wife to just leave and not leave a note telling him where she was going. Tai walked up the stairs and checked the bedroom. She wasn't there, nor was she in the bathroom.


"Sora?" Tai called out. He heard stifled giggles from another room, and when he peeked inside, he saw Sora with their kids, grins on their faces.


"Surprise!" Sora and the kids shrieked. Tai grinned and walked into the room sitting on the little bed. Sora got off the floor and sat next to Tai as two little kids jumped onto Tai's back.


"Hi daddy!" a boy with brown eyes around ten years old declared. Tai grinned at the redheaded boy.


"Hi Cayde." Tai replied. A small girl with reddish brown hair and dark brown eyes walked shyly up to Tai and hugged him. Tai hugged the little one back.


"Hi Alyssa. Where's your baby brother?" Tai asked the six year old. Alyssa pointed to the crib in the corner and ran to it.


"He's in here." Alyssa said smartly. Cayde asked for some juice, and Sora led him and Alyssa out of the room, heading for the kitchen. Tai walked over to the crib and gently picked their newborn son up.


"Wake up, Ryan. Daddy's home." Tai whispered to the infant, who squirmed and opened his big brown eyes slowly. He squinted and rubbed his eyes with his tiny fists, then fell back to sleep. Tai ran his fingers through the baby's dark chocolate brown hair.


Tai and Sora had been married for a short time when they decided to have a baby. Cayde Robert Kamiya was born exactly nine months after they were married. Alyssa Jean Kamiya was born four years after Cayde, and six years later Sora gave birth to Ryan William Kamiya. The family couldn't be any happier, Tai held a good job after all. He was still in the Army, and was a Major. Sora took care of the kids and was a member of the PTA with Mimi. They had been inseparable since he married her ten years before. They often went to each others' houses with their kids. Matt and Mimi had two children, a boy and a girl. Abigail was ten years old and just as daring and adventurous as her father. Adam was four years old and took after his mother more than Matt, although he too had blonde hair and striking blue eyes. Soon Matt would be a father again as Mimi would be having another baby in the coming months.


"Tai? Are you ready to go to Matt and Mimi's?" Sora asked as she walked into the room. Tai realized he'd been staring at the floor for awhile, and nodded, rising and carrying Ryan out of the room with Sora. They loaded the kids into the car and drove about fifteen minutes to Matt and Mimi's home. As they walked up the sidewalk, the door opened, and Abigail ran out, Adam toddling behind her.


"Aunt Sora! Uncle Tai!" Abigail cried happily. Tai and Sora hugged the kids, allowing them to take their kids inside the house. Mimi and Matt appeared at the door and waved. Matt had his arm around Mimi's waist, and Mimi's belly was well rounded with pregnancy.


"Hi guys!" Mimi chirped as she let the adults in. Matt took Ryan and held him gently. Tai and Sora sat opposite them at the kitchen table.


"He can't wait to be a daddy again." Mimi whispered. Matt smiled and nodded, talking baby talk to Ryan as he looked at Matt with large curious eyes.


"Matt got a new job. He works at a company that designs buildings. He's an executive Vice President already, can you believe that?" Mimi rambled. Matt had left the air force when his service came to an end shortly after Abigail was born, and had worked odd jobs throughout the ten years that followed. Matt nodded proudly.


"I'm a suit and tie man now." Matt said happily, handing Ryan to Sora, who held him and rocked him back and forth. As the four adults talked, they watched their children play in the back yard. Tai felt a settling peace come over him as he realized his life was perfect.


The sun was setting as Tai pulled into the driveway. He carried his two sleeping children into the house and put them to bed, tucking them in gently. Sora walked into the room quietly.


"Ryan's sound asleep." Sora whispered.


"So are Alyssa and Cayde." Tai replied. Sora smiled and touched her babies' faces softly.


"Have you ever thought about how lucky we are?" Sora asked Tai as they walked out of the room and into theirs.


"Every day." Tai answered as he kissed Sora on the lips passionately.
