*~* Epilogue *~*
Standing in the walkway to the locker rooms of the massive Luca Stadium, a woman lifted a hand to shade her stormy eyes from the glare of the sun off of the watery Blitzball sphere. Perched on her hip was a child with a head full of glorious strawberry blond curls and curious amber eyes. "Now where is he?" the woman questioned softly as the child tugged at the fabric of her bright blue tank top. "The game was over five minutes ago. They should be here by now, don't you think Ari?"
The child merely looked up at her mother and giggled, waving her tiny fists gleefully.
"You're such a silly thing!" the mother laughed, dropping a feather light kiss on her daughter's forehead.
"Kenz! Hey Kenzi!"
The woman turned at the sound of her name being called, a smile instantly breaking out on her gorgeous face. "Letty! I'm surprised to see you here! I thought you'd be at the hospital with Bree." A slight frown momentarily replaced her bright smile. "Is everything okay? How's Bree?"
"She's doin' great," the tanned ex-Auroch said as he stopped in front of her. "And so is our son! 9 pounds 11 ounces!"
"Letty! That's wonderful!" she exclaimed, giving her friend a one armed hug. "You must be so proud."
"I am. He's the cutest little guy too. And strong. I got a little blitzer on my hands."
"Who's a little blitzer?" Rikku asked, joining them with a very pregnant Yuna at her side. Rikku herself was starting to show, only months behind Yuna in her pregnancy, something of which Jassu and Tidus were immensely pleased about as well as worried. Although marriage agreed with them all considerably it was obvious the two were going to spend a majority of their newly wed lives worrying about their pregnant wives.
"Bree had a boy! We're naming him Dylan," Letty boasted, crossing strong arms over his chest.
Yuna smiled up at him, a hand resting maternally over the swell of her stomach. "That's great. Congratulations Letty."
The tall man bowed slightly out of habit. He still showed quite a bit of respect for the summoner, even though she insisted he didn't. "Thank you Yuna."
Suddenly the crowd sitting in the bleachers above the entrance to the locker rooms began cheering wildly and the Aurochs, wearing wide smiles as they waved to their fans, came down the walkway.
"Hey, hey...where's my little mascot!?" Jassu shouted, earning himself an excited squeal of laughter from Ari. He trotted up to Kenzi, sweeping her up in a quick hug and ruffling Ari's downy hair. "You've done good my little good luck charm!" His appreciative gaze traveled to his wife, standing a few feet away and wearing a shy smile that was so unlike her and yet so adorable. "But you...you're the one I've been waitin' to see." He left Kenzi, giving her a quick apologetic look before going to Rikku.
Laughing at Jassu's shameless display of affection, Kenzi turned back to face the group of Aurochs, congratulating each of them as they passed. When her eyes settled on her own husband she felt her heart catch. He was shaking his head, freeing the wild strands of hair from clinging droplets of water. When he saw her his smile widened.
"Da.da!!" Ari chirped, waving her hands at Wakka.
Kenzi laughed, nuzzling the top of her daughter's head. "That's right baby, that's daddy! Isn't he handsome?"
Ari cooed in response, going wild with excited giggles when her daddy snatched her up and tossed her into the air, easily catching her and then holding her tiny body in his muscular arms. "Hey there cutie. I saw you an mom chearin'. Don't think I coulda won the game without you two bein' here." He used one arm to pull Kenzi close. "Hey hun," he whispered as his lips came down to claim hers in a sweet kiss.
"Hey yourself," she murmured back with an indulgent smile. She would never tire of such wonderful attention from the man she loved. "You played great Wakka."
Wakka grinned and brushed his nose across hers. "I only play great when you're watchin' Kenz." He smiled down at their daughter, pride and love welling in his heart. "And you two angel."
Kenzi laughed softly, resting her head on her husbands shoulder. Her mind wandered as she surveyed the group of friends around them, Tidus holding Yuna, Rikku laughing at something Jassu told her as he held Botta in a headlock, Datto and Keepa talking animatedly to an excited Letty. Her family. She loved them all so much. She wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for them. And for Wakka. Sighing, she tilted her head up to meet his liquid amber gaze. "I love you Wakka," she whispered.
"Mmm." His arm tightened around her. "I love you too Kenzi. You got the next game right?" He asked, referring to their agreement that Kenzi would play every other game, switching places with him. It was, in a way, an double coaching deal that they both enjoyed and agreed with. Except now.
"Actually, I can't," Kenzi said, a secretive smile curving her lips.
"What? Why not?"
She laughed softly, turning to look over the group of Aurochs before returning her laughing gray/blue eyes to Wakka. "So which one of them do you suppose would like to be a godfather next?"
