Final Chapter
The Epilogue
On the day Ryo and Rei turned 20 years old...
"Daddy! Why are we here? Are you going to disown us now that we are an adult?" Ryo asked. It was Saturday and it was his and Rei-chan birthday. He thought they were going to Chiba as promised but they were at a law firm. Both Masaki and Sho looked at their son, surprised with his conclusion even after their conversation last night. They had always knew he is a replica of Masaki, not only in looks but also his character and last night he proved them right.
******************************************************************************
Last Night conversation...
"I knew that both of you are not my real fathers". Both Masaki and Sho was shocked. They decided to talk separately with their son since Rei had known this fact since she was young. "How do you know it?" Masaki asked. "Well, I don't know it at first but as I grew up and saw how much both of you love each other, I know there is no way papa was in love with Kaasan and had us with her. I went to school you know and I know well how the relationship between couples work too." Ryo tried as much to say it in a better words so it won't offend both fathers. "And yet you just keep to yourself and never came to ask us?" Now, it was Sho who asked. "Because I don't think it was important. You know I don't like complicated matters. I don't care what others said about our family because no one is more important to me than both of you and Rei-chan. Both of you love us more than some of my friends with normal parents love them. You are my papa and my daddy no matter what other said even if we are not related by blood although I'm a bit jealous of Rei-chan because she had a part of daddy's liver in her" "Oh my god niisan, you are really a baakaa ne, you should be thankful and grateful that you are healthy instead of being jealous of that." Rei-chan who had been eavesdropping at the door snap at him. "If I'm baakaa then you are a nosy lady who like to eavesdropped on others conversation" Ryo replied. Masaki cleared his throat. " Your fathers are still here and we are still in the midst of a conversation now." Both apologized, rei want to leave the room but Sho stopped her since she had been listening to the conversation. "Papa, daddy, don't worry. I love both of you so much and you will always be my papa and my daddy." Ryo wiped the tears in his daddy eyes. "You don't have to be jealous for the liver because I never love you any less from her and I'm really proud of you Ryo-kun. Thank you for coming to this world to be my son" Sho hug his only son tightly. He can't be more prouder to have a reliable son like him. "I love you too daddy" Ryo replied. "Hmm... As usual it will always be daddy who get all the love. Rei- chan, Papa felt so lonely right now" Masaki whined and hig his daughter who sat beside him. "Don't worry papa, Rei-chan loves you" Rei-chan hugged Masaki tightly. Both Sho and Ryo laughed. Ryo let go of Sho and hugged Masaki, "I love you too papa." "And papa love you too" Masaki looked at his husband relieved. They were too nervous to talk to him and glad both of their kids are reliable and except the truth with open hearts.
******************************************************************************
"How could you think of that when you know how much we love you? We are here for your inheritance that your mum left for you" Sho replied. "Oh!" Ryo replied short. They visited their mum's grave yesterday. Since they were in elementary school, their fathers, most of the time their daddy, will bring them to visit their mum every once in 3 months and a must visit on a day before their birthday. Masaki thought it was the best way so the kids could celebrate their birthday happily and didn't blamed themselves for their mother's death.
Tachibana sensei came and greet them with a big pile of files. There were too many documents which required their signatures. The shares and other investment turned out well and multiplied. The lawyer praised Sho for his efficiency in managing their financial matters. The whole process took almost 2 hours and all the properties now officially transferred to the Ryo and Rei's name however they requested both fathers to be the one who handling it for them like how they always did. "Finally, this is the last gift from your mother. She passed me this letter to be given to you when you reached 20. That was the last time I met her before she passed away." Ryo took the letter from the lawyer. It's envelope looks old. He passed the letter to his sister and promised they will read it later. "Now let's go to Chiba, your grand parents are waiting for us with delicious foods". Masaki said. Sho smiled at their kids. He was glad that they are still closed to both him and Masaki till now unlike most teenagers who started to be more closer to their friends at that age. The kids never felt ashamed of their special family condition and both he and Masaki were thankful for it.
A big celebration of coming of age ceremony among the family and close friends is waiting for them at their grandparents house in Chiba. Everyone were there and both fathers presented them with a set of kimono for them to change. Ryo's kimono is in dark green with silver colour hakama and Rei's kimono in red with mix of white and light green flowers. Both Masaki and Sho went to buy it personally for their kids along with their mothers as advisors. They took this chance to take a new family photos after the cake cutting. Masaki wore a maroon kimono with silver colour hakama while Sho wore a similar colour to Ryo kimono with gold colour hakama. Both fathers staring at each other saying the words of love through their eyes. No words will be able to describe the mix feelings they felt right now.
They finally manage to rest after cleaning late at night. Ryo will be sleeping with his grandfather at Yuusuke's old room and Rei will be sleeping with her grandmother at her grandparent's room. Sho was seating on their bed in deep thought when Masaki came in to the room after his shower. He didn't realized Masaki was there till the other hugged him. " What are you thinking right now Sho-chan?" Masaki asked, he saw tears in the other eyes although Sho tried to blink it away. "Nothing, just looking at all their gift" Sho pointed Ryo's and Rei's gift that was kept in their room for the night. "Honey, you know that you are bad in keeping secrets, tell me what was on your mind that made my love so sad right now?" Masaki wiped the tears that start to fall down. Masaki is always the emotional one and cried easily but their role change when it was about their kids. Sho rested his head on his husband's shoulder. He felt calm in his arm. Masaki caressed his hair to keep him calm. They had been together for more than 20 years and there is no way he can hide his feelings from his husband. "I was just reminded of those nights when four of us slept together in this room or when I brought them to visit your parents while you were away are now left as memories. Seeing those gift made me feel sad thinking of the time they will lead their own life far from us is coming soon. I guessed I'm not ready for that." Masaki felt the same too but he has to be strong for the other. "I think this was also how our parents felt when they were in our positions before. I felt the same Sho-chan, it felt as if it was yesterday when I hold their hand for the first time. I can still remember how Rei-chan lying on the bed with all the needles while Ryo will always cried at night looking for his sister. I can still feel my nervousness waiting for both of you outside the operating theatre, how Rei hides behind me and pulled my pants strongly when you first meet her while Ryo jumped to your arms right away. It were all still clearly pictured in my mind but Sho-chan, those moments that made our love stronger and made me proud to be a father. Never once, I regretted my decisions to take care of them. This is a part of nature Sho-chan. Just like us, they will need to stand on their own to find their path in life. As their parents we can only guide them and show them the way but it is up to them how they want to shape their life and for that we need to let them go when the time comes." He fully aware of how Sho felt especially he is the one who spent most of the time with them. "But what if we didn't prepared them enough, Ma-kun, I can't bear to see them in pain." Sho can't help his fatherly instinct to be worry of all this. "We may not be perfect but I believe we did our best and we will always be there to guide them. Isn't our life is all about choices. We wouldn't know if it is right or wrong till we walk down the road and sometime they need to feel the pain to make them stronger." Masaki took his phone and look at the photo of the four of them in their kimono which they took earlier during the ceremony. "See how great are our prince and princess. They are stronger than what we think. Let's put our trust in them and if one day they were in pain, we will be there to heal it." Masaki kiss the other lips to make him forget all his worry but the voice of someone crying in front of their door shocked them especially Sho as he recognized his daughter's voice well.
Ryo tried to calm his sister who was sobbing softly beside him although he was crying in silent himself. They read the letter from their mother and it made them realized how much both fathers had sacrificed for them. They went up to their fathers room to hug them to say how thankful they are to them when they overheard their fathers conversation through the small crack at the door. They almost fell when their papa opened the door. "What are you both doing here?" Masaki asked but Rei passed him and went to hugged Sho. "Daddyy" "Why are you crying darling? Are you okay? Do you felt pain anywhere?" Sho asked worried looking at both of his kids crying like a baby. Ryo hugging Masaki and cried silently on his papa shoulder. Both were confused by their children action but hugging them back to calm them."Daddy! I promised that I will study hard to make you and papa proud of us, we won't make you cry for us again." Rei said in between her sobs. "Yes! I promised papa, I will take care of you, daddy and Rei-chan. I will protect our family" Ryo continued. Masaki and Sho finally understood the situation. "You heard us? How long have been listening?" Masaki asked. "Sorry we didn't mean to eavesdropped. We came to hugged both of you to tell you how much we always loves you when we over heard daddy cried because of us." Ryo passed the letter to his papa. Both Sho and Masaki read the letter. In the letter, Yuri explained to the kids her situation and what she did to Masaki. She also told her kids not to blame Masaki if he left them because it was not his fault. He never imagined that Yuri will tell the kids the truth in her one and only letter to them. Although she found out her mother lied to get married to her papa since she was a child, Rei never expected that her mother stooped so low to achieve it. "I hate her for what she did to you and papa" Rei cried again and Sho hugged her to calm her down. "It was in the past and both your papa and me had forgave her. Remember I've always told you not to hate her. She is not a bad person although what she did was wrong. But trust me she did it because she care about both of you." Rei is always the most sensitive between his two kids. "Rei-chan, don't you think it was a blessing in disguised, if not I won't be here with both of you now. All the pain that we felt at that time were paid off with the love and happiness that both of you gave us." Sho wiped her tears away. "What your daddy said is true. Your mum gave me a letter too and in her letter, she never force me to take care of both of you. It was my own choice because I didn't want both of you to repeat the same mistake and when daddy came back to me, my life is complete. Our love may not be as deep as it is now without both of you. There are times when we both fights when we can't agree with each other but when we both look at the two of you, it reminded us the reason why we are together and continue to love each other. For that, I've always thankful to your mother for trusting me to take care of you." It took sometimes for both kids to calm again and went back to sleep in their room.
Masaki smiled seeing Sho smiling again in his arms. "We have a wonderful kids Papa" Masaki nodded his head agreed with Sho. "and thank god they are big enough to sleep on their own. Do you know how suffering it was for me to sleep in this room before when the two of them were in between us? You were there but I can't even touch you and you only hugged the kids" "Papa seriously are you regretting it now?" Sho asked. "I didn't regret just a bit bitter about it." Sho laughed, he knew his husband tried to cheer him up. "Papa, do you remember how we were panic when Rei was having her cramps for the first time?" Masaki smiled and nodded his head. Their daughter was independent. They didn't even know she was already at that age when she had the cramps and fortunately Sho sister was there to help them. When come to woman's matter, Rei will talk to her aunt because she said her fathers won't understand but according to Mei, she was just embarrassed. For other matters, Sho will always be there for her. If one thing which never change for her, Sho is still everything to her. "I will get married when I find a good guy like daddy" It was always be her reply whenever anyone asked her for her ideal type. "And Ryo came home with a bruise in his mouth but insisted not telling us the reason why he fight till Nino told us about it. We are lucky papa, to have our wonderful kids." Sho cheerful voice brought his mind back. Masaki remember it well. It was the day when he just came home after flying for 10 days and Ryo was in grade six. Ryo didn't answer them when they asked for the reason of his fights with his schoolmates. Even Rei kept her mouth shut and both willing to be punished rather than open their mouth that made him so angry but Sho managed to stop him. Till Nino called him that night to tell him the truth after hearing the incidents from Kaoru who was in grade two at the same school. That was the first time both Sho and Masaki found out about the kids teasing the three of them for coming from a special families. They kept quiet because they didn't want both fathers to be sad and felt guilty. "Now tha I know, It made me worried, all this while Kaoru had been depending on the twin, I wondered how she will manage without them after the twin went to Junior school?" Masaki remembered how worried Nino was but Kaoru did well even without the twin. Ryo still cares for her till now although he always claimed he cares as a brother when everyone can clearly see the love in his eyes and he is not the only one. "Finally we have a normal guy in the family." Jun always said it whenever they gathered. Jun and Toma had a son by a surrogate mother who is five years old and now staying permanently in Japan. Toma had taken over his mother day care but still work as one of the teachers there. He just loved being around children. Keiko and Daigo have two daughters and will visit them whenever they came back to Japan.
"Papa! You are day dreaming at night?" Sho waving his hand in front of his husband who lost in deep thoughts. "No, I was just thinking how lucky I am to have the three of you in my life especially you. I have wonderful children because I have amazing husband who took a good care of them. Thank you Sho-chan for being a wonderful father to our kids." Sho blushed with the compliments and Masaki can't stop himself from kissing him when Sho show him his cute chipmunk smile. His hand already moving all over the other. Sho moaning in their kiss when his member reacted to his husband ministration. "Daddy, I want to feel you" Masaki whispered to Sho ears licking his earlobe. Sho nodded his head, he was drown in the pleasure to reply him. Masaki took off the other clothe and preparing his love for their pleasure nights. If there is one thing that never change between them is their love. Their nights are still hot especially now they have more time together since Masaki changed his job to be an instructor 5 years ago. He hardly fly unless there is workshops or seminar that he needs to attend else he will be on ground most of the time. They used to be scared if their love will change when they saw each other more frequently but it made them more clingy with each other. Since they have same working time it was easier for them to plan their day. They will go on a date every Saturday when the kids hanging out with their friends and spending their time together as a family going for dates with their kids on every Sunday. Masaki and Ryo dates are always about baseball or animals. Sometimes, the father and son just spent a whole day volunteering at animal shelters. When with Sho, their dates are always full of movies, shopping and food since they both have similar palate and Sho is not as good as Masaki when come to fashion. For Rei-chan, her dates with his daddy means a night of musical, visiting museums and watching Soccer. With Masaki it will always be fashion and amusement parks. Both father and daughter have a good sense of fashion and love the thrilling activities which scared Sho and Ryo. "Pa..pa! Aah.. dee..per.." Masaki is weak to that erotic voice, he thrust deeper and Sho tried his best to cover his mouth when his spot was hit. "It's always nice to be in you Sho-chan". Their movement is slower but more erotic, declaring their endless love in their every move till both came, moaning each other's name. Both were breathless, looking at each others eyes with full of love. "I love you Ma-kun" "and you are the only one that I love Sho chan".
