A Walk in the Park-

Disclaimer: We do not own Naruto.

Chapter Thirty five-

Epilogue

"Mom is waiting for us, we need to hurry. Come on now, let's pick up the pace."

Sasuke was speaking to his son, his youngest child. They'd had a long day at the shop and were running a bit late to meet Sakura and Sarada, who was his eldest. Junior just looked at his father, not understanding the rush while Levi barked in his excitement.

The kids were never quite as enthused as Sasuke and Sakura were, but even after over ten years of marriage, the two of them were always excited to get to that same old park. Time had changed many things, Luna was no longer with them, but she had blessed them with a son who was the spitting image of her. Levi was just as bright and fun as his mother.

Sasuke and Sakura had happily had their own two kids before Luna ever found her mate. Their daughter was now nine years old, their son only four. They were both sweet and smart children who resembled their father greatly, while taking many qualities from their mother.

It had been a whole new adventure having kids, raising them and expanding their family. The two of them only became happier with the new additions and both of them adored their children more than anything.

While Junior went to work with Sasuke everyday, Sakura worked and Sarada went to school. After having their first child Sakura opted for changing workplaces, moving to a doctor's office rather than the hospital. She only worked a few days a week but was always off in time to pick up Sarada from her dance lessons that she had right after school.

It was the one thing the young girl was passionate about other than her baby brother. She only had to ask her parents once to allow her to join a class before they signed her up. Junior only cared about everything his father did. He always talked about being just like Sasuke and he had the same love of cars.

Sakura found it amusing, but she loved to watch those two walk down the park's path everyday. Junior didn't go anywhere without his favorite toy, a red mustang just like Sasuke's favorite old race car.

These days he didn't race anymore and neither did Naruto. Team Konoha was still going strong, their new driver a young man named Konohamaru that Naruto had taken under his wing when he found out Hinata was pregnant.

Both Sasuke and Naruto turned to mechanics for the team because they didn't want the publicity anymore, nor the risk factor when they not only had their adored wives to live for, but their children as well.

"I'm tired." Junior finally huffed as he continued to walk slowly, dragging his short legs along the way.

"Oh?" Sasuke held back a chuckle as he watched his son pout. "Did you work too hard today?"

The boy loved working with Sasuke so much that Sasuke was really dreading this upcoming year when he'd be starting school. Junior nodded seriously before looking up at his father.

"Way too hard, papa."

"Hn." Sasuke smirked as he grabbed his son under his arms and lifted him up onto his shoulders. The same thing happened every day and honestly, Sasuke loved it. "Better?"

"Hn." Junior responded, resting his toy car on top of his father's head as he was carried along.

Sasuke could only laugh as he finally spotted his two girls. They were always sitting on their bench, Sakura's nose in a book while Sarada did her homework unless she was already done with it for the day. Today they were doing neither, Hinata was sitting there with them, her daughter Himawari in her lap while Naruto and his son were playing football off to the side.

They were all close, even more so now than they ever had been. Sasuke smiled fondly at the sight of them all as he walked up, having yet to be spotted. He watched as his wife, the love of his life laughed happily when Boruto tackled his father to the ground.

She had a way of becoming more beautiful to him every day. She'd changed everything for him. Awakened parts of him that he hadn't known he'd even had. Made him love deeper than he thought possible. Gave him two beautiful children.

And she loved him unconditionally, every day. Always making him happy. Always giving him something to look forward to. She was an outstanding mother, always putting the kids before herself and yet always making sure her husband was taken care of as well.

It amazed him at how remarkable she actually was and after all the years they'd been together, she could still surprise him and make him love her even more.

Her eyes moved from Naruto and locked on him, a breathtaking smile taking to her lips. Sasuke's steps slowed as she stood, lips parting as she started making her way over to him.

"Hey you." He told her, having used the same greeting for her since the beginning of their relationship.

"Hey." She grinned at him, tilting her head back until he leaned down to kiss her softly. She then turned her attention to their son. "How's my hard working boy?"

Junior reached for her and Sasuke bent down so she could take him in her arms. "Good, mama. Me and papa changed a motor today."

"You did?" Sakura asked excitedly as the three of them made their way back to the bench.

"Yeah, in the new Camaro 'cause Konamaru already blew it!"

It always amazed Sakura at how knowledgeable her son was, but he had been going to work with Sasuke ever since he could walk so she supposed it was bound to happen. Sasuke took pride in teaching him about cars and Junior loved it. Sakura thought he probably knew more about cars than she did and this amused her.

"Me and papa had to shower 'cause we got dirty mama."

"Oh, that's why you're a little late?" Sakura giggled as she sat back down on the bench next to Hinata, leaving enough room for Sasuke to sit by her other side.

"Hn."

At her son's response Sakura turned to her husband, giving him a playful glare for letting his habits rub off on their son. Sasuke only smirked and shrugged, keeping any comments to himself.

"Hey, uncle Sasuke come play with us!" Boruto was yelling as he ran over and Sasuke stood, exchanging a smile with his wife before running off to join the boy and Naruto.

Sakura sighed as she watched him run off, amazed at how much energy he still had after all these years. He'd aged well and only became more handsome over time. She loved watching him and she did so often. It was hard to believe that even after so long she could still be so hopelessly in love with him.

But she was.

Junior's head lolled back against her chest and Sakura laughed when she looked down at him to find him already fast asleep. He would do this often, napping while the rest of them enjoyed the park.

"He's so cute." Hinata giggled and Sakura nodded her agreement.

"And a mess. Just like Sasuke."

"Can I hold him?" Sarada asked as she got up and came to stand before her mother, already knowing she wouldn't be denied.

Sakura handed him over with a soft smile at her daughter. She knew just how much Sarada adored her baby brother. She played with him all the time and spoiled him rotten. Sakura and Sasuke were pleased that she was so good with him. She'd been ecstatic about being a big sister since the day she found out Sakura was pregnant.

She and Sasuke couldn't have asked for better kids. There were trying and difficult times, but those times were minimal. It was to be expected and no matter what, they were always happy. They were a loving family and a close one.

Sakura's eyes drifted to her husband and her brows perked up in surprise when she noticed Itachi over there talking to him. He glanced at her about the same time and waved. She smiled and waved back, eyes drifting to his gray husky, she was Levi's sibling, Evie. Another of Luna's precious babies.

They all missed Luna dearly but were thankful they each had a part of her. Even if they didn't though, Luna would forever live in their hearts. She was one in a million. She was family. She always would be.

Sasuke and Itachi came over to the bench while talking to each other. Sarada was on her feet and moving as quickly as she could with her brother in her arms to get to her uncle for a hug.

"Uncle Itachi!" She leaned against him since both her arms were wrapped tight around Junior.

"Hey there… I came to talk your parents into letting me kidnap the two of you for the night."

"Really?" Sarada's eyes lit up at that. "Mama… Papa... ?"

"Well, tomorrow is Saturday." Sakura shrugged, unable to contain her smile.

"Yes!" Sarada squealed quietly, mindful of her sleeping brother.

"Izumi helped me plan out the whole night so we're going to have a lot of fun." Itachi promised which only excited Sarada further.

Itachi had married a girl he started officially seeing soon after Sasuke and Sakura moved into their own home, which was right after their honeymoon. They hadn't had any kids and never talked about taking that step, but they were always eager to keep their niece and nephew.

Sasuke and Sakura adored their kids and missed them terribly when they were gone, but they never minded the alone time. Sakura glanced at her husband to find him already smirking and obviously thinking quite a few naughty things. She laughed out loud without meaning to before she rolled her eyes at him.

Honestly, he'd never change… But, neither would she.

It was an hour later that Sasuke and Sakura were walking up to their home. They had so many memories that it was easy to look back on them all the time, even when they were constantly making new memories each and every day.

Sakura giggled as she remembered the day she and Sasuke fought over what color they were going to paint the outside of their home and it ended in the two of them painting each other.

She remembered the day they bought their home, how happy they were during that first walk through. They bought it the same day, though they didn't move in until after their honeymoon.

Their honeymoon was nothing short of blissful. They spent a whole week in the cabin at the lake, per Sakura's request and they spent another week at an island resort where Sakura saw the most beautiful beach she'd ever seen.

The fun and happiness only continued once they returned home and moved in to their own place. Sakura was always thrilled to go to Sasuke's races and even join him at the shop as long as she was off. Sasuke visited her often when she was working but he'd never been happier than he was when she quit the hospital and went to the doctor's office instead. They had much more time together now.

"You're mighty quiet, Mrs. Uchiha." Sasuke mused as he unlocked the door and stood aside to allow her to walk in.

"Lost in thought I guess." She told him, sending him a smile as she went about walking towards the kitchen.

"I have you all alone and you're lost in thought?"

"Well if it helps, I was thinking about you… Us."

"Yeah?" He smirked. "It does help. But now I'm curious."

"I just still can't get over how crazy I am about you." She admitted and Sasuke grabbed her hand and tugged, causing her to fall right into his arms.

"Well I hope you're not thinking you'll get over it soon. I plan to keep you on your toes for about another hundred years."

"Oh wow." She giggled. "Is that it? Two hundred sounds better."

Sasuke laughed with her as he kissed her swiftly but sweetly before resting his forehead against hers. "Two hundred it is then."

"Sweet ass." She grumbled, grinning from ear to ear and Sasuke laughed again.

"You've got the sweet ass and I do believe I have a date with it… Right now actually."

"Whoa, Sasuke!" Sakura squealed and laughed as she was hoisted over his shoulder before he started jogging down the hallway towards their bedroom.

"You know what time it is, Kitten."

A/N:

OH MYYYY where do we start?!

Guys… to think that this story is actually completed… this chapter, the epilogue… was the end of the end. Like… Kanatyy is cryyyyyying!

So much happened… in the story… but during the writing process as well. This was a record finish for both of us and we're pretty proud of ourselves. We had so much fun writing this fic… at times we were so in character, Kana as Sasuke and Tyy as Sakura that even in normal conversation, everything we said came off as something that would have totally been said in the fic. LOL. It was great. It was a happy and funny time and we're both going to miss it so much…

There will still be one shots! But, I'm sure you all can understand that it is still such a bittersweet feeling to have the actual fic completed. *tear*

This was both of our first collab! Tyy has since starting working on another, with someone else (Fighting for You) but this first collab… it was like a breath of fresh air in a dark, dark time in the FF world. We bounce off of each other the entire time, always keeping each other going and it was honestly so easy… there wasn't a time where we were stuck on something because when one of us became uncertain and had to pause, the other was always here to push us forward.

While there were so many funny and happy times, there were times that weren't so fun as well… Like when things hit the fan with Sasori. Oh my… Of course it was in Tyy's chapter that Sasori cornered Sakura. So, Tyy was writing alone at the time, keeping things on the down low from Kana until it came time for Sasuke to make an appearance. We talked the whole time of course, but aside from the messages Tyy sent to Kana hinting to what might be happening, Kana had no idea what was actually going down during that chapter.

All she knew was that Sasori was crossing a line… and when we say Kana was in Sasuke-mode, ready to defend his woman… it was the most hilarious you-would've-had-to-been-there moments ever!

Kana's Sasuke-mode was and IS something serious… Tyy was a constant gushing and squealing mess. Literally almost breaking her laptop a few times in her excitement. Make no mistake though, Tyy had her time as well, having Kana screaming and near tears.

We laughed. We yelled. We freaked out. We had a great time. And, believe it or not, you guys made it all the better.

Every time we posted a chapter, we would NOT stalk and NOT obsess about the reviews coming in. Some of you really touched us, even made our days. Some of the reviews we read again and again and again because they made us so happy. So many of you took the time to review every single chapter and that meant a lot too! Even those of you who reviewed the first several chapters and then stopped, we're sure you're still reading and we're still thankful to you!

To all the silent readers, who loved the story and felt all the feels but just couldn't bring themselves to review, it's okay… we understand. Sometimes it's hard to put your thoughts and feelings into words and we would love to know them, but we're just happy you walked along with us!

For everyone who ever participated in our Q&A, we love you. It was a lot of fun! We enjoyed your questions so much! (And if you have any after the epilogue, feel free to send them, because one shots will be posted here soon!)

That being said, let's head to the final chapter's questions before we continue:

Will you write any modern AU in future? Maybe a soldier/doctor AU?

Tyy: Oh definitely! I got a request on tumblr for a doctor/soldier fic and I will certainly write it as soon as I can!

Kana: I love AU's so heck yeah!

In the epilogue will you have snippets of their wedding and honeymoon or their life after having children?:

Tyy: Ehhh. Well you've read it now, but there will be one shots covering these things coming soon! Feel free to ask for a one shot in reference to a scene you would like to read here!

Kana: We beat you to it, lol. Can't wait to post those too!

Will this be the only story the two of you write together?:

Tyy: No way! Kanatyy forever. We have to write more together!

Kana: What she said, Kanatyy forever!

How do you guys feel about ending this?:

Tyy: It's such a bittersweet feeling. I'm happy we finished it but so sad to see it go.

Kana: I have no words, I'm happy but sad but happy. Bittersweet is right.

We really can't thank you guys enough for joining us during this Walk in the Park. It's been fun, fun enough for us to want to bring you more of our version of sasusaku for this fic. We have some things planned out to write to show you, but if you have any requests for this Sasuke and Sakura that you'd like to read, send away! We will be happy to accept them!

Kanatyy plans to do more collabs in the future, but nothing is set in stone yet. Anything we write will be posted here, on TyyTyy's account, but by all means, follow Kana Kaname84 here on FF to support her for coming to team sasusaku with Tyy!

For all of you who thought our styles fit together good and enjoyed this story until the end, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We love you. We've loved everything… and we will always be back!

Some shout outs to the final chapters reviewers!:

Kana: Kyaaahhh, Annoyinglyyours! Your reviews had the best timing, my dear. I would feel a little down or unsure about something we wrote and then you would review with your sweet snass! I hope to see you in our other fics too. We will forever be chopping onions, love.

Mimi-Love-4ever!

Tyy: When your last review came in, I got so excited to open and read it. Then I read it and I was screaming and rolling around on the floor like an idiot. You're too sweet, and I want to sincerely thank you for being so considerate!

Kana: Oh Mimi, we love you 4 ever, lol. I was not ready for your review and it hit me right in the heart. Thank you darling, we love you and hope to see you in other fics!

To all the unnamed guests!

Tyy: Thank you, thank you, thank you! You're all adorable and I love seeing your thoughts!

Kana: We adore you! Thank you sooooooooo much!

To all the past reviewers!

Tyy: It's been four months… 34 chapter and 140k words! We've enjoyed every single review. I can't stress enough how important you guys have been! As a writer, I write because I love it… because it is a part of me, it makes me happy. But when lovely readers like you take a couple seconds to lay your thoughts on me, it means so much. It is so exhilarating to a writer. It is such a blessing. Thank you all, for everything.

Kana: This is already the longest A/N ever and we wish we could have mentioned all of you, but in the end we narrowed it down to those that reviewed on the last chapter, 34. We love you just as much as the others, please know that. It really means a lot to us to read your thoughts, see what is and isn't coming across. It helps us evolve as writers and make sure our story is as enjoyable as possible. I cannot express how much it means, thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

So, this is it… for now anyways. We hope you guys have enjoyed it as much as we have! (Also, Kana had Sasuke keeping score and promised to add them up and show everyone but she forgot, scold her, lol. She'll add it onto the next one-shot so don't worry)

Til next time…
