Kaori and Kōusei talked to Yoshiyuki and Ryouko all night as their kids were running around playing, afterwards Kōusei and Kaori went home in a very good mood.

Yoshiyuki and Ryouko became Charlie and Elizabeth's new babysitters every time Kaori and Kōusei wanted to do something just between the couple,.

A Week Later

The concert in Miami was now about to begin:

Kōusei and Kaori was ready, Kōusei was reading his notes beforehand, whlist Kaori was dancing around admiring her new dress she bought herself, when the time was right, Kaori and Kōusei entered the stage and performed the Kreutzer in which Kaori performed it her way like she did when Kōusei met her all those years ago.

In the crowd were Charlie and Elizabeth as well as the Miyazonos, some of the Loud family, Watari and Sherry and Evan Tsubaki and Dil.

Afterwards Kaori switched it up and played Watashi No Uso with Kōusei and it again reminded them of when they were younger and when Kaori was on borrowed time.

Afterwards her friends and family all gave her congrats and the after party which was held at the bakery was one of the funniest parties in Kaoris life with Dil and Tsubaki getting very drunk and then entered into the spare room probably for sex. Watari was drunk after doing shots and Kōusei was also carrying Kaori home after she had too much to drink.

In the next coming months Kaori led Miami to the College Football Playoffs after cruising through the season only losing one game against Georgia Tech after a last minute field goal.

By now it was Christmas and Kōusei and Kaori had planned it at their house, Watari and Sherry couldn't make it due to Wataris Boxing Day clash between Millwall (Who Watari was playing for) and West Ham.

In the buildup to Christmas Kōusei and Kaori went Christmas shopping for Charlie and Elizabeth in the buildup to Christmas and They got presents that they knew that the kids would like.

Christmas Day:

Charlie woke up first and immediately woke Kaori and Kōusei up and soon after Elizabeth woke up, they went downstairs to see a big Christmas tree with lots of presents and Last Christmas from Wham playing in the background

Charlie recieved a toy play set from his favourite preschool TV show as well as an Xbox from Kaori and Kōusei despite being 2, Watari got Charlie a signed matchworn Millwall shirt, the Louds got Charlie a teddy bear and Dil and Tsubaki got Charlie a a brand new hot wheels play set.

The first people to come around was Tsubaki and Dil who had arrived in Florida just an hour ago, Tsubaki was pregnant with Dils child after that concert after party months prior and Dil looked happier than he had ever been, joking around and playing with Charlie and Elizabeth.

The next to come round was Yoshiyuki and Ryouko with their younger kids April and Alex Miyazono, the kids immediately ran around the house with each other as Charlie and Elizabeth recieved a present from their grandparents being teddy bears and a melodica, Elizabeth's presents had been mostly teddy bears and storybooks, but the melodica was a present that Elizabeth grew attached and obsessed with from that day onwards.

Soon everyone was handing each other presents with Kaori getting a golden violin from Kōusei as well as a new QB gloves from her parents. Kaori and Kōusei though had a present for Dil Pickles that they had kept secret since last December.

Flashback

Leni and Kaori met up at a cafe to buy Christmas presents, Leni was quite frail at that point as her cancer had started to kick in a bit and she was talking to Kaori about her treatment and her fashion lines when she had an idea.

"Kaori, I've got an idea for the Christmas after this one" said Leni

"What is it Leni" said Kaori evan if it hurt her knowing that Leni probably wouldn't be around in the next Christmas

"Why not I send Dil a final Christmas message just in case I'm not around anymore so it feels like I'm still here" said Leni

Kaori looked sad and a bit down hearing that from Leni, Leni knew that she wasn't going to make it for the next Christmas and still wanted everyone to feel like she was still around.

"Are you sure that's what you want" said Kaori

"I'm sure, get the Cassete tape in that Walkman and record" said Leni

Kaori obliged and put the cassete in the Walkman and began recording

End of Flashback

Dil opened his present to find a Walkman and a Cassete

Kaori asked Dil to put the Cassete in the Walkman and he did and pressed play

"Hello Dil, I would first like to say I love you and I know this will be my last Christmas message to you and I want you take this to heart, first of all I remember the times we spent with each other in Royal Woods ranging from the Mall to the Boatside all those years ago, I remember when I resurrected Kaori Miyazono and we all met up for cookies and ice cream, I also remember our little dates and how we let the stars shine our path or the Christmas where we spent in Royal Woods before you went to Yale. It feels weird that this is the last time you'll hear my voice until your dying days, so Dil I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and I hope the girl you have now treats you the best of her ability and I wish her good luck and I leave you with the same words I've said to you many times and hopefully the next girl does as well: I love you and Merry Christmas, Goodbye little guy and see you soon" - Lenis Final Christmas message

Dil cried through the whole way as well as Kaori as they were the ones close to Leni, Tsubaki comforted Dil and whispered quietly "I'll look after him, don't worry Leni, he's in good hands"

Afterwards everyone had turkey and fried chicken and afterwards board games such as Monopoly and (when the kids went to sleep) Cards Against Humanity.

They also watched Christmas films and Kaori and Kōusei evan performed the Nutcracker Suite for the guests and both the Louds and Watari sent their Christmas wishes via video chat.

At Christmas it felt like everyone was together and family and friends were eating and celebrating with each other

Merry Christmas everyone and a happy new year
