Mika smiled as someone knocked at the door. She quickly headed over and opened, finding Kaim standing there with Seth and Renji. "You're here!" She laughed. "Come on in."

"Is Ken here yet?" Renji asked as he walked in. He set a bag down on the counter, among the presents.

"Yeah. He's out back with the others." Mika smiled. "Why don't you head on out, I'm just finishing up the cake."

"Alright." Kaim laughed. "Are you sure you don't need any help?"

"I'll be fine."

"UNCLE KAIM!" A fifteen year old girl with black and green hair came running in and wrapped her arms around Kaim. Mika smiled looking at her older daughter, Aioki. "You were able to come!"

"Of course." Kaim smiled as he patted her head. Mika smiled. After Sven and her got married Kaim disappeared for a year. He just showed at Aioki's birth. Mika had been so happy to see him. Kaim stuck around for a while, trying to discover his purpose. Kaim cared deeply about Aioki and stuck around for a few years, helping raise her. Aioki may not have gained Mika's powers, but she did gain a higher amount of strength than kids her age.

Kaim had trained her for a while, but then he had left again. Right after Lloyd had been born, fourteen years ago. He worked as a sweeper after that. Then three years ago he and the other three had joined Chronos. Kaim actually now number three in Chronos. Seth had become number six, Renji number nine, and Kenji had become number eleven. The four of them mostly stuck together if they went on missions. The four of them had replaced Cerberus after Beluga's death.

"You all head outside." Mika laughed and patted her daughter's head. "Make sure you tell your siblings to stay in the backyard and not get into any trouble."

"Alright." Aioki smiled and grabbed Kaim's arm. "Come on Uncle Kaim!"

Kaim laughed, he always relaxed when he was around Aioki. Seth and Renji followed after Kaim and Aioki. Mika watched them go and smiled, before quickly heading back to the kitchen. All she had left to do was finish mixing and then put the cake in the oven.

The door to the kitchen suddenly opened and Sven walked in, carrying more presents. "Nizer is here. He's out back now wanting to see the birthday boy."

Mika smiled as Sven set the presents down. They were two huge boxes. She walked over and wrapped her arms around Sven's neck, after putting the cake pan in the oven. "I'll go get him up from his nap in a moment."

"I'll take care of the cake while you go get him up." Sven kissed Mika gently. "Go on ahead."

"Thanks." Mika kissed Sven back quickly and then headed towards one of the back rooms. She looked around as she walked. Sven and her had moved in right after they got married. It used to be one of Sven's safe houses. Sven had continued on as a sweeper until three years after they got married. Lloyd, their second born, was one and Mika had just started up her own little restaurant. Sven decided taking trips away from home, even if they were only a week at a time here and there, was too much time away. So he settled down and became an informant, just like Annette had been.

Mika was happy with everything that had happened, but sometimes she wondered if that was what Sven truly wanted. Mika walked into the corner room, right across the room from her own room. A crib rested in the corner and a small black haired boy shifted. "Nizer." She smiled and picked her youngest son up. He shifted and woke up. He grinned up at her and giggled slightly. "That's my boy."

Mika walked back out and nearly tripped over a young purple haired three year old who was running through the front room. "JEM!" Mika yelled after her. "BE CAREFUL!" Mika chuckled. Jem was Jenos and Rinslet's daughter. "She must be following one of the other kids." Mika looked down at Nizer.

"Mom!" Mika looked over to see her second child, Lloyd. He had been named after Sven's old partner. He was fourteen with black hair, just like Mika's. "Uncle Jenos is here now, and so is Uncle Train."

"Oh!" Mika smiled. "Train's here! That means all we're waiting for is Eve and Leon."

"Okay." Lloyd nodded. He turned and head off, after Jem.

Mika smiled. She walked out into the backyard. It was full of people. All of her family, blood related and not, were there. Well all of them except for Eve and her family. Train stood talking to Rinslet and Jenos. A woman with short brown hair stood next to him. Mika smiled recognizing Train's wife. The two of them had gotten married nine years ago. It had surprised Mika, but Sven more so. A small nine year old boy with purple hair stood behind Jenos.

That was Beluga. Mika always stopped short when she saw the short boy. He was named after Jenos' old partner. It always brought tears to her eyes to think about Beluga. "Hey, is that my little name sake?" Mika looked up to see the first Nizer standing next to her.

"Yes." Mika smiled and rocked Nizer. "Do you want to hold him?"

"Sure." Nizer took the younger Nizer in his arms and smiled. "He's such a sweet little boy." Mika laughed.

"Mom!" Mika looked over as two ten year old twin girls rushed over. One had long green hair and the other had short green hair. The short haired one was Nanami and the long haired one was Annette.

"Is Eve here yet?" Annette asked.

"Not yet." Mika laughed. "Why don't you go wait inside, and make sure that the younger ones don't destroy the place."

"Alright." Nanami nodded. She grabbed her sister's hand and rushed off.

"They've grown up so much." Nizer smiled. "I understand why you turned down the option to join Chronos."

Mika smiled. Five years ago she had been offered a place in Chronos because of her skills. Mika hadn't even hesitated in declining the offer. "I could never leave my family. This is my place… I don't plan to use my powers for anything other than their protection."

"Here." Nizer handed the younger Nizer back. "I'm going to go talk to Jenos. I'm going to let him know what's been going on recently. Since he's left Chronos for his family." Nizer shook his head.

Mika smiled. Chronos had changed after everything that happened. They no longer killed so calmly. They had become more professionalized sweepers in many ways. Of course Train still refused to rejoin. "Aunt Mika." Mika looked down at the little four year old brown haired girl tugging at her sleeve.

"Yes Saya?" Mika asked.

"Have you seen Zagine?" Train's daughter asked.

"No." Mika smiled. "But I'm sure he's around here somewhere." Mika looked up and around. "Maybe he's with Sen."

"Thanks Aunt Mika." Saya rushed off, in search of her older eight year old brother. Mika laughed. Zagine looked so much like his father, and had a very similar personality. The only difference would probably be that Train had cast away his loner personality long ago.

Mika rocked Nizer and headed in search of her mother. But she was interrupted by a short five year old blue haired kid running past her. "TIM!" Mika yelled after him. "WATCH OUT!"

"Sorry!" Tim waved over his shoulder.

"He can be so careless sometimes." Mika looked over to see Eve walking up, Leon at her side. In Eve's arm was a small one year old blonde haired girl.

"Hi Eve." Mika smiled.

Eve smiled and awkwardly hugged Mika. Both of them held their youngest children in their arms. Mika always laughed at that thought. Eve and her had same age children. The two were separated by a few months, but in many ways Laila was Nizer's aunt. Sven and Mika had adopted Eve and considered her their child. She had moved out of their house though after she graduated from high school. Leon and her started dating a year after Mika and Sven got married, but it took them almost nine more years before they got married.

"Hey." Leon nodded and looked off. "So it looks like everyone is here now… Are we going to sing happy birthday?"

"Yes, once we bring the cake out. It should be done soon."

"Is Sven taking care of the cooking?" Eve asked.

"Yes." Mika laughed. "He's watching the cake cook at least. I mixed it up." She laughed. "How's Laila?" She looked down.

"Doing fine. It's only been a year since we celebrated her birthday." Eve smiled and looked down at her daughter. "She hasn't changed any since then."

Mika laughed. "Probably true."

"Mom!" Mika looked over as her third child ran up. Sen had green hair just like his father and was twelve. "Dad told me to find you and let you know the cake is done. He's just putting the candle in it. He's bringing it out now."

"Thanks Sen." Mika patted his head. "Let's go celebrate Nizer's first birthday!" Mika laughed as she watched everyone looking towards her and her son. Happiness over flowed through her. She never would have expected her life to turn out so happily. When she had first lost her memories and been adopted by the first Sen all she expected was to live a normal boring life. But then she meet Sven and her life changed. She regained all of her memories, and she was able to gain a happy life. A life full of loved ones and happiness. A life she never wanted to give up.

"Mika?" She looked at Sven and smiled.

"Come on!" She held Nizer up. "Time to celebrate our little boy's first birthday!" Everyone laughed and smiled as well. Mika's life felt perfect, or as close as it could get to being perfect.
