Epilogue: The Beginning

Mahiru was tired.

But that's what came with childbirth.

The child, a girl, was now asleep in her arms. She was lying against Mitsuru, who had his chin on her shoulder, and his arms around her waist.

“How are you feeling?” he murmured, kissing her neck softly.

“Better,” she answered, holding the child closer.

“You're a mother.”

“You're a dad.” She turned her head slightly. “We're parents.”

“Absolutely terrifying thought.”

“Should we be worried?”

“Yes. We are going to be horrible parents and our child will be dead in a week.”

“Stop.” She scrunched her face and he smiled. “That's not helping.”

“There's no possible way you could be a bad mother. You act like a mother to everyone.”

She made a noise. He nibbled her neck.

“You're really that worried?”

She nodded.

“Don't be.” He grinned and pulled her closer. “And if it goes well, we can always have another.”

Keiko wiped her hands dry, smiling as she felt two arms encircle her.

“How's Mahiru doing?” Akira hummed in her ear.

“Well,” Keiko nodded, “I think she's trying to nap.”

“So what do you want to do now?” he purred.

She turned to him, brushing her lips against his cheek. “I just watched the `miracle of birth.' None of that.”

He grinned and jumped up, pulling her with him.

“None of what?” he asked playfully.

She rolled her eyes, kissed him, and he pulled her closer. They broke apart for a moment, and he smirked and tickled her. She giggled, the pulled closer together, and the night stood before them.

It wasn't the end.

It was a new beginning.

The End

Does this mean a sequel?

No.

So this is the end. Seriously. No more. Go away.

I love you all so much, and thanks for sticking with me through this very cool story. Thank you!!
