Epilogue

Kuon woke up when he heard his alarm clock blaring. Uh… it's so noisy… He opened his eyes slowly. He used his right hand to reach for it and practically crushed the alarm clock. It stopped blaring. He turned to his left and saw his wife was sleeping peacefully in his arms. He disentangled himself from her slowly, not wanting to disturb her sleep. She looks tired recently. She sleeps faster and she could sleep for the whole day if she wasn't working.

He leaned down and kissed her lightly on her forehead. He sat up and stretched a little. His eyes fell on the dead alarm clock on the nightstand. Ah, it's 6 am? Or not… He got off his bed and went into the bathroom when his bladder was asking to be emptied. He got out of his room afterwards and headed to the kitchen. He was thinking to prepare the breakfast for today. He knew Kyouko wasn't feeling really well just by looking how pale her face was.

Kyouko heard the door closed in a soft thud. She smiled even though she wasn't going to open her eyes now. She felt really tired and if she could she wanted to sleep more. She knew that she would have to wake up anytime soon. She had an interview scheduled for her latest drama so she still had to wake up and prepared herself. This drama was the fourth drama she co-starred with her husband. This time the genre was family. They were a newlywed couple in the drama. It was about her husband's bad relationship with her father and her bad relationship with her mother in law type of drama.

It was her first time playing a newlywed. Kuon had told her in their gokko around two and a half years ago, one day she would encounter such role and he was right. They were excited when they first read the script. It was different with their real marriage life. There wasn't any father in law for Kuon and Julie wasn't an evil mother in law like in their drama.

She smiled when she heard his hasty footsteps sound getting clearer. She heard the door being opened abruptly.

"Kyouko!" He called out to her loudly.

Kyouko opened her eyes. She still felt sleepy. "Good morning, Kuon!" She sat up and she squeaked when he embraced her tightly. He was holding a box in his hand.

"This…" He seemed overwhelmed and couldn't continue his words.

"Happy 24th birthday, Kuon," she continued whilst wrapping her arms around his waist. "I hope the gift is to your taste?"

He pulled away slightly and kissed her soundly. "This is the best give I have ever got from you. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I wanted it to be a surprise for your birthday," she said with a smile.

"I assure you, it's a big surprise for me," Kuon smiled widely. He looked at the box content again. He was surprised when he found a gift box on the dining room table. It got a card with Kyouko's handwriting on it, written with 'Happy Birthday, dearest Kuon'. He was eager to open the box because Kyouko usually gave him surprising gift for his birthday. He was confused when he found a white stick wrapped in a transparent plastic bag inside the box. He took it out and saw there were two red lines on the stick. He was confused till he saw another thing inside the box. When he took the other thing out, his eyes widened. It was an image of an ultra sound. There was paper accompanied the ultra sound and the stick, which was a result of a blood test. He read the result quickly and he felt his heart was about to burst with happiness after he realised what was the gift meant. He turned and headed to their bed room. He almost fell and tripped because he was in a rush. We're going to be parents!

"I'm glad you like the surprise," she giggled and kissed him on his cheek.

He smiled. He put the box on the night stand and pulled her to him carefully. He made her sat on his lap and hugged her tight. "Is this why you slept a lot recently?" He caressed her still flat stomach softly.

She laughed softly. "Perhaps. I feel really tired and I just want to sleep. Like now… I don't want to wake up." She yawned.

"I should have realised it. You took long in bathroom as well," he added. "Not to mention, you went to the toilet often. I thought you made the bathroom your camping ground."

She laughed and caressed his cheek. "Yes but I'm glad you didn't realise that or my plan would fail. I tried my best to keep it from you."

"Naughty girl… you should have told me. How far are you along, dear?"

"8 weeks… and I'm feeling really lazy now. I'm being such an irresponsible wife." She sighed. "I have to get up now."

"No, it's okay. Breakfast right? I'm on it." He laughed softly. "I know you're tired."

She leant her head against his chest. "Um… really? You cooked it already? I hope it is not sunny side up? I don't think I can stand the eggs now."

"No, I haven't cooked anything yet. I found the box and opened it and… yeah, you know the rest." He kissed the top of her head softly.

"Oh nice. Since you haven't cooked it, I'll cook our breakfast then." She was about to sit up again when he pulled her back to him.

"No, I'll cook our breakfast. I don't want you to get too tired. You can just sleep more." Kuon continued caressing her stomach.

"Kuon, I'm not sick, I'm just pregnant," she reminded him.

"I know, but… better safe than sorry." He lifted her slowly and put her on the bed. "Be good, Kyouko! I'll call you when I finished cooking. What do you want to eat?"

She sighed and gave up. He is unarguable… "I don't want to eat anything now." She continued when she saw his disapproving look, "but… anything is fine."

"Anything but eggs, right?"

Kyouko nodded. "And something with light smell. I can't stand the food's smells actually."

Kuon leant down and kissed her softly. "Okay, I'll think about it. I'll make it fast. I don't want to starve my wife and kid." He got off their bed and walked out the room with a bounce in his every step.

Kyouko giggled when she saw his funny antics. "So, Son? Daughter? Can't wait for you to come to this world." She caressed her stomach softly. "Mommy loves you."


Another seven months spent with happiness, frustration, excitement and anticipation till their first daughter born. She was born on the mid-September. Kuon beamed with happiness when he first held his daughter. The baby girl got his blond lock, green eyes and face shape. Kyouko had been calling her little fairy princess when she held her daughter. There were funny moments when they were deciding what to name the little princess.

"The daughter of a fairy prince." Kyouko smiled. "We should name her Tinkerbell or Tink. Tink got blonde lock. Her eyes were blue though," she said half-jokingly. "What about Cindy or Aurora? Both of them got blonde locks too. What about it? But none of them got green eyes? Hmm…" She hummed lullaby song whilst cradling her daughter.

Kuon stood shocked in place. Cindy? Tink? Aurora? Seriously?

"Ah, I got it. Rapunzel. She got blonde lock and green eyes, I think? Kuon, how about Rapunzel?" Kyouko asked with gleam in her eyes.

Rapunzel? Is it final? Kuon still stood petrified.

"Kuon? Are you listening?" Kyouko waved her hand in front of his face.

"Yes." Kuon smiled awkwardly.

"Kyouko!" Kuu and Julie barged into the room.

"Dad, Mom!" Kyouko smiled. "Come! See my little princess," Kyouko waved to them.

The doting grandparents immediately came close and took turn holding their granddaughter.

"She's so cute. She's got blonde hair… aw…" Julie squealed. "What about her eyes?"

"Green," Kuon answered.

Julie squealed more. "Hmm… that's my gene. She looks like Kuon too." She looked content and prideful.

"Have you named her?" Kuu asked.

"Err… not yet," Kuon answered.

"Dad, what do you think of Rapunzel, Aurora, Tink and Cindy? They all got blonde locks but only Rapunzel got green eyes, I think?" Kyouko asked in excitement.

Kuu cringed. Rapunzel? Aurora? Tink? Cindy? Seriously?

"Aurora. I vote for Aurora," Julie immediately said.

Both men cringed more. Why the princess names?

"Oh, it is so merry." Saena knocked the opened door.

"Mother." Kyouko smiled widely.

"Kyouko, I came to see my granddaughter. How is she doing today?" Saena walked close to Julie who was holding the baby. "Hi, Hizuri-san, you two just arrived in Japan, I guess?"

"Yes, we just couldn't wait to meet her," Kuu answered.

"Oh, yes. I bet. She's really cute." Saena smiled. "So, what's her name? Have you finally decided her name?"

"We are naming her, Mother," Kyouko answered.

"I hope it isn't something like Cindy or Aurora?" Saena said with a weird smile plastered on her face.

"Yes, you're right mother. How did you know that?" Kyouko chuckled.

Oh no! Saena cringed inwardly. She turned to Kuon. Kuon fidgeted in his place.

"You're not serious, I hope?" Saena dared herself to say.

"I'm serious. Partly," Kyouko said. "She's got blonde hair and green eyes. She doesn't look very Japanese too, right? Won't it be weird if she got Japanese name?"

"Ah… makes sense. You're right." Saena nodded. "Cindy? It is easier for Japanese's tongue, I think."

NO! Both men screamed inwardly. Their last hope was crumbled.

"Kyouko, remember Setsuka?" Kuon said, trying to avert her attention.

"Yes, what's with Setsu?" Kyouko tilted her head.

"Tell me Setsu's profile!" Kuon stated.

"Blonde haired, grey eyed, half British half Japanese?" Kyouko said. "Ah, I know. You want to say that it's not a problem even if our daughter got Japanese name?"

Kuon nodded profusely. "That's it."

"Fine, you name her then." Kyouko gave up.

"What about…"

They finally named the little princess Chieko. It meant thousand blessing child.


2 years and 6 months later…

"Mommy! See! Daddy is flying. Daddy can fly." Chieko tugged on Kyouko's skirt.

The mother and daughter watched Kuon did a backflip. He was like a fairy under the moonlight. Chieko and Kyouko clapped hard for him. Kuon laughed happily and walked to his wife and daughter. They were having a hanami in Inokashira Park at the night.

Kuon scooped up his daughter and kiss her on her cheek. "Do you like it, my little princess?"

Chieko squealed. "Like it."

Chieko was now two years and 6 months old. Kuon was a doting parent like Kuu and he seemed to compete with Kuu when he was coming to visit his granddaughter. He would pout if his daughter preferred Kuu over him. Chieko was a picky eater like Kuon. She was difficult and Kyouko had to shove food into her mouth like Julie did to Kuon. She did it gently so Chieko wouldn't throw out the food afterwards. Even though, she was difficult with food, she rarely threw fit. She was an obedient and calm kid. Like her mother, she loved fairy tales. Kyouko would tell her fairy tales when she was about to sleep. She loved Cinderella and would call herself as Cinderella. Kyouko smiled widely. This part of Chieko was like her, and it made her happy. She nudged Kuon playfully when they kissed Chieko goodnight. Kuon stood shock when he heard Kyouko said, "Good night Cinderella." for the first time. Kyouko smiled and told him that their daughter often called herself Cinderella.

The family sat and leant against the big Sakura tree, watching the Sakura petals fell down. The wind was breezy and a little cold at night.

"Chieko, come and sit on mummy's laps. Daddy is all sweaty." Kyouko held out her arms.

Chieko crawled over to her and hugged her mother tight. "Mommy, sleep… Cinderella…" the little girl said and not long after she fell asleep in Kyouko's arm before Kyouko could even start telling her story.

Kuon chuckled. "Little one is tired I guess."

"Yes, and it passed her bed time too." Kyouko smiled. "Thanks for the performance, my dearest fairy prince."

"Sure. Now, where's my reward?" he asked then leaned over to her face. "May I?"

"It's… okay I think?" She blushed.

He raised his hand and cupped her face. He leant down and kissed her lips softly. He pulled away and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her close to him.

"See! As I said, you're a good mother," Kuon said suddenly when Kyouko stroked Chieko's hair softly. "You love Chieko and you treat her well."

"I love our little girl. She's adorable. And honey, you're a good father too."

"Thank you. She and you are my biggest treasures. I love you both." He leaned down and kissed her again.

She smiled against his lips. "I love you."


Later the night...

They deposited the sleeping Chieko in her room and kissed her good night. They closed her bedroom door softly. Chieko's room was only next door to their room. They made a door that connected their room and her room. They wanted to be there as soon as possible when she needed them.

"Chieko is sleeping now. It's adult time now," Kuon said and scooped Kyouko up, walking to their bedroom.

"Adult time? For us?" She said seductively.

"Not so loud. You don't want to wake her up and being disturbed, do you?" He winked at her.

She smiled and kissed him playfully. They kept kissing each other till he dropped her on their bed and pinned her down. He lifted up her shirt and…

"Wait!" Kyouko stopped him.

"What is it?" He asked impatiently.

"Before that, let's pick roles!" she said with a wink.

He was stunned then laughed. "Sure."

"What are we playing tonight?" She sat up and took the glass on their night stand. The glass had several papers inside it. She poured the glass content onto the bed. "Pick it?"

He took one quickly and handed to her. "This one."

She opened it and chuckled. "This is really naughty." She showed him the paper.

"Doctor and Nurse? So, shall we get our props first?" he whispered.

"You turned me on," Kyouko stated. "The answer is yes. We have to make it believable."

He chuckled. "You turned me on too. Believable, you say? We are actors… we have to…"

They got off their bed to get the 'props' that were kept in their wardrobe. Whilst they were walking to their wardrobe, they kissed and undressed each other.

"Kyouko honey," Kuon said right before they went into their walked in wardrobe.

"Hmm?"

"Let's have another baby. Chieko is big enough now. She needs a sibling. Maybe a son or another daughter." Kuon pulled her close to him. "What about it?"

"I think it's time to have another child too." She ran her fingers down his bare chest. "A son who looks like you will be nice."

He laughed. "Don't name him Phillip or Adam."

She kissed his nose. "If he got black lock like me then… Prince Charming." She giggled.

"Prince Charming?" He gaped.

"Adam or Phillip got dark locks too," she added.

"Most princes got dark locks huh?" He knitted his brows.

"Don't worry! Or we can name him Corn, like my fairy prince." Her hands moved lower and touched his clothed arousal. "If… he got blond lock like his father then... Kuon Jr." She smiled seductively.

He groaned when he felt her hand brushed over it whilst she pulled his boxer down. "Nice idea. The night is still long." Kuon pulled her up and kissed her neck. "Tonight I won't let you sleep."

She moaned when she felt his arousal rubbing her private part. They were completely naked and their eyes and hands feasted on each other's naked form. "Um… sounds interesting! Let's get change before we… ah… no, don't put it in just yet. I want to play first." She moaned louder.

"Heh? Are you sure?" He rubbed her harder and she had to grip his arm to suppress her moans.

"Sure, patient is a virtue," she panted hard. She was getting delirious just with the pleasure he gave her. She pulled away from him before they forgot they still had a game. She entered the wardrobe. "Come on, Corn."

He chuckled. "Coming..." He entered the wardrobe and closed the door, joined his wife inside and getting ready for their game of the night.

FIN


A/N : It's finally finished. The last one got a little heated, but I didn't plan to write their 'game' so no further lemon. LOL. Thanks for reading. ^ ^
