(Hi all it's been a while and I have had a few request for an Epilogue so I decided to write something short and sweet for my readers out there. Enjoy!)

Epilogue

Ten Years Later

It had been a long day as one of the worlds best investigator next to L, who would be retiring in a few years when both Near and Mello were ready to take his place. She walked into a manor south of London and called out, "I'm home!" as she hung her coat not looking even a day older than her college years. In fact she hadn't aged in the slightest as she looked herself in the mirror. Her now mid thigh hair was in a large messy bun on top of her head and her makeup was soft and professional. Her black and striped business suit was tailored to form to her curves to perfection and instead of a skirt she wore slacks as she hung her trench coat of the rack next to the door.

"Momma!" a small voice called out from down the hallway as a toddler wobbled in a run towards her with his small arms wide.

"Adian," she called back and crouched down with her arms widen as well with an even wider smile. The boy had black hair and her skin tone. His eyes where also her own, but he had her lover's handsome looks.

The boy rushed into his mother's arms and his small hands grabbed on her business clothes wrinkling them in his small fists. "Welcome home, mommy! I missed you." he said in his small voice.

"I missed you too and I'm so happy to be home," she said picking him up into her arms. "Have you've been good for daddy?"

"Uh-huh, grandpa Walt fell asleep in his reading chair again," he told her.

Watari had retired two years after the Kira investigation. He was too old to really work anymore so instead he played the part of grandpa for Adian who called him Walt or grandpa. He was also helping L learn how to take care of his child and even teaching him basic household choirs because the old man couldn't take care of him forever. At the moment the old man lived with them during his retirement and likely would remain until he passed away, but his last years would be happy and surrounded by family and both herself and L wanted. After all it had been Watari that had raised L since he was abandoned by her blood related family.

"Hello wife," L's voice could be heard from the door way to the kitchen. "Happy fifth anniversary."

She looked up and her smile became even wider with happiness as she step forward and pressed a passionate kiss on her beloved's lips while still holding their son. "You too, my dear husband." Then she noticed he was wearing a white apron around his normal clothing and she looked at him in surprise. "Have you been cooking again?"

L gave a small sheepish smile, "Yes, and this time it wasn't a utter disaster."

Akane giggled knowing all to well what happened the last time. He nearly burned down the kitchen and the smell of his cooking wasn't exactly pleasant, "Good and thanks to Watari no doubt, but thank you." She kissed his cheek, "I have a gift for you."

"Oh, so do I, but it'll have to wait for later once Adian is asleep." He said.

"Yes, so should mine." she smiled at him. "So what's for dinner?"

"Spaghetti," he answered.

"Oh? I'm looking forward to it," She said.

….

Dinner went well and she didn't choke on his cooking this time and she suspected that Watari had been giving him lessons in secret and behind her back no doubt. After dinner Akane bathed her son after he made quiet the mess with the spaghetti as all small children do and then put him to bed. She found L in the library writing messages on the computer. She smiled at him knowing it was work and she went to take a shower. She dressed in a black flattering silk night gown and blow dried her hair. Then looked herself over. Not one thing about her face had changed in the last ten years and she wonder if they ever would. Would she die looking this young or would she start the age again when her time was running short? She knew not.

"Akane Lawliet," L's voice came from behind her. It was her true last name though it was top secret in order to protect them both. Her son and herself sir names were still her birth name Yagami. Though she was okay with that as long as L called her by her true name. It's all that mattered.

"L Lawliet," She replied as she turned toward him. His face hadn't change at all either. Though the circles under his eyes had clear up a bit thanks to her care. She made sure he he at least slept reasonable as possible hours and she made sure he ate. Not that he liked being told what to do, but he got use to it.

"Happy anniversary." He told her holding out a box.

She smiled and turned to her purse taking with out two boxes. "I can't believe it's been ten years already." she said with a both happy and sad look upon her face.

"I never did ask, if Satoru Kaguya had never..." he began and then trailed off. "Would we still have ended up meeting."

"I think we where always meant to meet," she told him, "but I don't think that is what you're asking. You're asking if we still would of ended up together. Yes, I think we would of. Satoru was controlling and I was so desperate to escape my fate at the time that I blinded myself to the truth of that. I don't know if he was ever a good man or not and I don't think I ever really knew him. I would of eventually of left him. I would of left him for you. It would of just taken longer for us to be together."

L smiled hearing that as he handed her his gift. She opened her gift and inside was a silver locket with a picture of himself and Adian inside of it. Neither of them liked large gifts something that was more thoughtful suited them both. She hugged him, "Thank you, I love it!"

"I'm glad," he told her.

She pulled away and handed him his first present, "Open this one first."

He nodded and slowly opened the first one. His eyes widen. It was a positive pregnancy test. "Your pregnant!" he said in surprise.

"Yes," she smiled and he smiled as well, "and now for the second one."

"We could be better than this?" he asked.

"You'll wait and see." She told him.

He opened the second. Inside was chocolate covered strawberries and a card that said 'It's a Girl!' He embraced her. He was as speechless at her first pregnancy. She wrapped her armed around his neck and she placed her lips on his. Sometimes words were not needed. The two didn't need them as Akane pushed him onto the bed. Even after all these years she still preferred the top. Adian was asleep and they where alone and even ten years later she still couldn't get enough of him. He was the same in that regard. Funny enough he was still a bit shy when it come to their closeness, but he was no less eager as she herself was.

She slowly slide his shirt from off his pale body. "I love you," she whispered to him before taking his lips again.

"I love you always," he whispered back a bit breathless, by her actions.

"Always and forever," she said as she was flipped over to her back and his hands ghosted over her body. She giggled a bit ticklish at where his hands ghosted over to her delight and her nails found there way down his back just the way he liked. Even ten years later he still couldn't get enough of her either and he very much doubt that he ever would.

"Forever," he said before his lips kissed her neck.
