Deathly Jester: So it's been a while from when I finished this story, I'm getting emotional just thinking about it! So I've decided that I'll give you all a lovely Christmas gift! Here's an after story, I was going to post this on the 3 year anniversary, but Christmas seemed right =] So here you guys go, please review! Most of this chapter will be written in third person unless I type otherwise!

I don't own YPP.

I'd been a year. One year from Christmas. One year forward in time, a years worth of memories. Memories that'd last a life time. A lift time of memories to share. Memories to share for lifetimes to come, and then create new ones and so on. A lifetime. That's all they have, a lifetime to share the life lessons, to comfort the heart breaks and rejoice for a heart in love. A lifetime to share their love with one and another, to talking about the past memories while making new ones. A lifetime is all they have. But a lifetime's all they'll need. They only need a lifetime to share their love and memories, to love their children through thick and thin.

Makoto and Ichigo Kashino. All they need is a lifetime.

===Ichigo's POV===

"Makoto, can you help with Kairi? I need to go take a bath." I said rising from the chair I had finished nursing Kairi in. Kairi is out little princess.

"Sure! Just be careful, can't have you burning your eyes out again." Makoto said with his sly smirk.

"It happened once! While I was pregnant with Kairi, doesn't mean it happen again!" I exclaimed as I walked to the master bathroom. Undressing myself I ran the warm water, careful not to run it too hot as not to burn myself.

I sank down into the tub, thinking about the past year. Kairi being born was the best thing in my life, along with my wedding. The wedding, Makoto's and mine wedding... It seemed like it was yesterday, the butterflies in my stomach. Walking down the aisle, holding my fathers arm one last time as he let me go, giving me away forever. I was no longer his daughter, but Ichigo Kashino, Mister and misses Makoto Kashino. I'll never forget it. Seeing him cry, not because of dread, anger, hate. But for love. It's something I never want to forget.

"Ichigo, I think Kairi misses her mommy, mind if I bring her in?" Makoto's voice rang out from the other side of the door.

"I never mind!" I said smiling as he walked into the bathroom, blushing as red as he could.

"Even if we've been married I'm never going to get used to this." He said passing down our child to me.

"Haha I don't think I will either. But who knows."I said rocking Kairi carefully; Kairi slowly stopped crying and started to sleep. "That's better! Now, how are Yuki and Kat? Finals just finished right?" I asked putting the conditioner in my hair.

"Their out hanging out with friends, a lot has changed with them. They're much more... open to people. I think you've helped them a lot. Their more active with other people, well Yuki is." Makoto said with a chuckle, sitting next to the tub.

"They just needed a slight push. Kat's boyfriends also a nice guy. Helping around the cafe was a blessing." I said.
A few months ago, a boy Kat had been crushing on had asked her out, she said yes and they've been in love.

"That reminds me, my mother has pestered me on more wedding pictures being sent over, the handful we gave her have been shown off to many times. 'Oh look at my son and his beautiful wife~ And their beautiful baby~'. She needs new show material." Makoto said with a laugh.

It was funny how at first his parents detested me, yet now they can't get enough of us! I don't know if it was just the baby, but she's opened some doors for us! A whole new world.

"So what's the shops plan for the new year? A new year bash, that'd be fun! We could have a mini cake tasting time!" I said thinking over my idea, the shop open for new years. Silver balloons, fun little party trinkets, plenty of small cakes to munch on, some nice cocoa and coffee to drink.

"Sounds like a good idea, pass it by Hikiru before you get tooooo far into this." Makoto said stretching the 'o'.

"I'll try to, but you know how I get with planning parties~ all the sweets are driving me insane! Hehe~" I said laughing along with my husband.

"I know, our baby shower was crazy! I don't know why Kat and Yuki let you help! You did know it was to be planed by ONLY friends."

"I did... I just wanted to help a little!"

"A little? Let's see~"

=== Flash Back=== Third person ===

The room had been covered with fun little decorative baby things, a small table filled with small treats, a bowl of pink punch, and a cake with a picture of an ultrasound on it. (a/n: You know how lots of places can print edible pictures for cakes.) Around the table was a semi-circle of chairs, lined near the chairs was gifts, wrapped in pinks and purples. The chairs were occupied with women and the occasional young boy.

"Thanks for coming guys! As you all know our lovely Ichigo is going to be having a little baby~ GIRL! In a few months actually... what is it... 3 months till May? Yeah three months until this watermelon pops!" A young girl with waist length hair exclaimed.

"Kat... Anyway's what we're going to do is play a few games! Eat some amazing cake then open the gifts." A calmer Yuki said smiling.

A few laughs were shared here and there, gag gifts along with gifts that will be cherished for years to come were opened. The cake was reduced to a few crumbs, and the talking grew.
After a few hours, the shower was finished, and everyone left happy, all but an over stuffed Ichigo.

"Ichigo, I warned you not to eat that much cake!" Makoto scolded her.

"B-but it was soooo good! You know how much I love your chocolate cakes! I couldn't help myself from eating mist of it! Besides I'm 6 months pregnant, I like to eat! Eat sweets, savory things anything I want tooo~" Ichigo said cuddling up to her soon to be husband.

"I know, and these next three months are going to be hard! You HAVE to take care of yourself, that means eating right! Not just what you're craving." Makoto said holding her by the waist.

"Fine, I promise... but first I need to throw up!"

=== Flash back end === Makoto POV ===

"I was happy you made it to the bathroom before emptying yourself." I said with a laugh.

"Whatever~ her being born was my revenge on you mocking me though!"

=== Flashback === Third person ===

Screams filled the room. Painful screaming, helpful screaming. Ichigo was gripping Makoto's hand to the point it almost broke.

"Just a little more come on I know you can do this! I'm going to count to ten one more time! One, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight-"

The counting was cut off by an ear piercing scream.

"Congratulations... You have a little baby girl! Let's get you cleaned up, but first, daddy would you like to cut the cord?" The nurse asked a pain ridden Makoto.

"S-sure..." His white face filled with pain and elation. The sight of his newborn daughter had his heart racing. All the 'what ifs' that ran through his mind and vanished. All he could see was the beautiful little girl. His little girl.

=== Flashback end === Still third person ===

"You sprained my hand, how could I forget?" Makoto said poking his wife on her forehead.

"I said sorry after! But I have to say... Our wedding was beautiful. it's something I'll never forget." Ichigo said staring into her husbands eyes.

=== Flashback === Third person ===

The church was decorated lightly, already being so beautiful it didn't need much help shining. Light chocolate brown and strawberry red fabrics crossed on the chairs, flowers lining the aisle. Makoto awaited his blushing bride, dressed in a handsome suit with a light pink tie, standing next to him his groomsmen dressed likely to our groom. The bridesmaids dressed in the chocolate color awaited the bride.
When the music started once more, everyone raised.

When the doors opened everyone was left speechless. Ichigo was wearing a sweetheart neckline white fit and flair wedding dress, pleated lace adorned the whole dress with some shine here and there. The dress, however, couldn't compare to Ichigo. His makeup was done lightly, a smokey natural look adorned her eyes, a gradient light pink lip and sweet blush. her hair was let down with tiny gems scattered through. She looked like the beautiful princess her father always said she was.

"You may all be seated."

As the wedding went on, the little baby sitting in the front row just smiled. Maybe she know what was going on? She could feel the love encircling the room and everyone in it. The love between Makoto and Ichigo. Nothing could compare to it.

"Makoto, do you promise to care and love for Ichigo, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer till death do you part? If this is in your heart say I do."

"I do."

"Ichigo, do your promise to care and love for Makoto, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer till death do you part? If this is in your heart say I do."

"I... I do."

"Well then, Makoto, you may kiss your bride," the kiss was short and sweet. "It is now with ,y great pleasure to announce for the first time, Mr and Mrs. Makoto Kashino. May the LORD bless your marriage forever." Everyone stood and cheered, from Japan or France or the magical sweet kingdom everyone cherished the love that would last forever.

=== Flashback over === Third person ===

"How could anyone forget? It was... magical." Ichigo said smiling.

"It was, and I can't wait to spend forever with you. I really do love you Ichigo." Makoto leaded over the tub and kissed his wife.

"I love you too Makoto."
