A/N: Hello again! Ok- Just in time for the Holiday break! The end of the
story ^_^
I know some are sad to see it end. but all good things must come to an end.
Thank you all so very much for the reviews! I enjoyed them all. And I had
a blast writing this story! I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did.
I've gotten a few emails asking if I plan on doing a sequel or something
with Nyoko and Kenji. I might think about it- It depends on what everyone
thinks- let me know your thoughts! I also depends on the time factor. It
might be a little while before I have the time to devote to the story-
finals and papers are around the corner. stupid school taking up all my
free time!
Anyway- Here's the conclusion to the fic! Enjoy the ending and the
holidays!

Epilogue-
"Uncle Kenshin! Uncle Yahiko!" A loud voice called as the doors to the Kamiya dojo opened wide to reveal a girl with brown pigtails. She was out of breath as she met up with part of the Himura family in the front yard.
"Nyoko!" Kenji smiled and ran towards his best friend.
"Kenji!" Nyoko smiled back as she finally got her breathing back to normal.
"Nyoko-chan it's so nice to see you, that it is." Kenshin smiled.
"No time! You got to come with me!" She said grabbing Kenji's arm. "Mom's having the baby!"
"She is? That's wonderful." Kenshin replied.
"It's about time- she was the size of a house last time I saw her." Yahiko chuckled- but his laugh stopped when the little girl flashed a scowl his way.
"Come on! Let's hurry." She said pulling Kenji off with her.
"Oh great!" Yahiko sighed after she had left. "More Sagaras to cause trouble. just so you know- I'm NOT babysitting again. EVER!" He said with the memories of being stuck with Nyoko for an entire week while Sano and Megumi went off to a hot spring for their honeymoon.
He was never so happy to see Sano and Megumi as when they returned. The little girl had looked harmless- but by the end of the week Yahiko was battered, bruised and on the death lists of many people in Tokyo because of the little girl and Kenji's knack for getting into trouble. Yahiko had even sworn off having children of his own because of the horrible experience, much to Tsubame's dislike.
Kenshin just smiled as he grabbed a basket of food he had prepared. Kaoru was already over with Megumi and Sano as birthing began.
"PUSH!" One of Megumi's assistants told her.
"I know!" Megumi huffed back at her in pain. "This is YOUR fault!" She growled looking over at her husband who was by her side dabbing her face with a cool cloth. Squeezing his hand very hard when a contraction hit, Sano too screamed out in pain with his wife.
"Please.please. Megumi. dear let go. please let go!" Sano pleaded as she squeezed again.
"I think it's coming." Megumi panted looking up at Sano. She met his eyes as she began her final push to bring their child into the world. Sano tenderly stroked her face and looked down on her with worried eyes. He had been here before. but with a different woman. and he had lost her. he would be even more devastated if fate once again intervened and took this woman away too.
'Please, not Megumi. don't take her from me ever again.' He silently prayed as he kissed his wife.
Placing her free hand up on his face she tried to assure him that she was ok. But the tired eyes and pale face still worried Sano. Her eye closed tightly as she let out a sharp scream as she pushed again.

As the two children entered the house, with Kenshin and Yahiko following quickly behind they were met with the sounds of babies crying. Kaoru and the assistant left the bedroom after cleaning up.
"Kenshin!" Kaoru smiled as she went and embraced her husband. "It was so beautiful."
"Megumi is alright?" Kenshin asked knowing that childbirth was a difficult time. He was wracked with extreme worry and guilt when Kenji was being born- he also knew that Sano's last experience wasn't a joyful occasion either.
"Yes, she's perfectly fine." Kaoru smiled not wanting to ruin the secret of the birth to the group. That was Sano's honor.
As if he was cued, Sano came out of the room with a large smile on his face. "Nyoko, you're a big sister now." He said hugging his oldest child.
"Is it a girl? Do I have a baby sister?" She asked curiously. Since her father and new mother had told her they were going to have an addition to the family, she had been so excited.
"Why don't you all come in and find out." Sano said with a proud smirk.
The group quietly entered after Sano. Megumi laid propped up on a mass of pillows and blankets cradling a small bundle in her arms. Nyoko was by her side in an instant wanting to see her sibling.
While everyone had their eyes on the pale form of Megumi and the tiny infant, another cry came from a basket to her side. Sano instantly went and picked up the second bundle. Taking a seat beside Megumi, he smiled up at the group of shocked on lookers.
"Everyone- meet the new addition to the Sagara family. This is my son, he's older by a minute or two." Sano said calming down the bundle in his arms.
"And our daughter." Megumi smiled looking down lovingly on the baby in her arms.
"T.t.two?" Yahiko and Kenshin seemed shocked beyond words. Yahiko passed out after seeing the two children and just imagining what troubles they would become..
"Isn't it wonderful?" Kaoru smiled leaning against Kenshin with a sigh.
"Twins!" Nyoko exclaimed cheerfully.
After a little while the newborns became fussy. The group all cleared out and left Megumi and Sano once again alone in their bedroom to take care of their new babies.
"They're so precious." Megumi smiled as Sano handed her their fussing son. "How come they look like you?" She mock grumbled as she stoked her son's little fluff of dark hair as he suckled at her breast.
"I think our youngest daughter has more of your beautiful features than of mine." Sano smiled as he took his second daughter in his large arms. "They are so small. are you sure they you're all alright?"
"We're fine- I know why I was so large now." Megumi smiled. "I was worried we were going to have a huge baby. If it wasn't bad enough to try and feed your bottomless stomach- I was sure I was going to have to feed another one."
"Ah, but you forget we now have two more mouths to feed, and you like cooking for me." Sano smiled as they switched children and she fed their daughter.
"I do?"
"And you like everything about being married to me." Sano continued.
"Really?" Megumi asked playfully.
"Well if you want our children to look more like you, I guess that means we're going to have to try again." Sano growled low after he took the second sleeping bundle away from Megumi and placed them in the basket bed they had prepared for the babies.
"You can't be serious?" Megumi blushed.
"Why not?"
"Because I just gave birth to two children, that's why!"
"Alright- we'll have time later then. We have our entire lives to spend together doing such things." Sano winked.
"You are impossible." Megumi sighed as she rested back against the soft pillows.
"But you love that about me." Sano reminded her as he moved to lay next to her. Taking her into his arms he hugged her tightly. "Thank you Megumi."
"Hm?" Megumi sighed as she settled against him. Her eyes closed as she enjoyed the warmth of his touch.
"Thank you for giving me so much." He whispered into her ear. His eyes drifted closed as she relaxed against him. They felt so right together. like they were truly meant to be together. Sano drifted into a light sleep with his wife and newest children next to him. They both were exhausted, the last eight months or so had been the happiest times of his life.
Remembering the day of his wedding was especially a nice memory.. Kenshin and the rest of the guests looked all dressed up, but Megumi looked like a goddess in her traditional white garb. Dressed in a newer version of his old outfit from four years ago Sano stood proudly next to Nyoko, who wore a version of his white jacket, except the kanji was different- Sano's kanji still marked him as 'wicked' or 'evil' in remembrance of his old mentor and friend. Nyoko had chosen the Kanji for kitten, Sano's pet name for her. Yahiko had made a comment about Nyoko needing the evil symbol more than Sano, everyone laughed. Except Nyoko- who had taken off after the samurai's son.
Happy memories were replacing the many bad ones. Not only did he have his friends near him now, but also he had the two most important people with him- Nyoko and Megumi. And now the list of important people was increasing.
Sano might not know exactly what the future had in store for him and his growing family. The past was something that was full of sadness and hardships, but he knew that they were all cherished memories. Hikari, and her father, they both were looking down on them all- Sano could feel it. They would be happy that he had been given a second chance and found what his heart had been looking for.
"I love you Megumi." He mumbled as he nuzzled her hair and drifted further off to sleep, his heart full of joy and high expectations for the future. his future together with new family, and with his love, Megumi by his side.
A/N: Again- Just a thank you to everyone who has left me a review- even if it wasn't much. I like just hearing that people are reading my story and enjoying it. Hopefully I'll be hearing from you all again when I do post anther S/M story- you know there's going to be more! Ja!
