CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

"I can't believe they thought my dad purposely killed my mother."

"Yeah, that was harsh."

"You think?" Natsume said sarcastically

Ruka laughed "So how's Mikan?"

"I don't know, I still can't believe that she didn't fight for me."

"Well, at least try your best to understand the situation. You didn't know what really happened after walking out and you know how she grew up and all."

*ring *ring

"Who's that?" said Ruka to Natsume

"I don't know. It's an unregistered number. Should I answer it?"

"It might be Mikan, you know."

"Hello?"

"This is Natsume Hyuuga right?"

"Why?"

"This is Mikan's father."

"Tch. So." Natsume said almost hanging up.

"Wait before you hang up. Please. Is our daughter with you?"

"Why, is she missing?"

"Yes. We figured maybe she went to you."

"No, she didn't."

"I know what happened between us the other day but we don't want to lose our daughter. Please help us."

"I understand. I'll be there in an hour."

"Who was that?" Ruka asked

"Mikan's father."

"Woah. What?"

"Mikan's missing. I'll go now, Ruka. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I understand."

At Sakura's Residence

"Thank you for coming."

"I'll do everything for your daughter."

"It seems that you love our daughter so much."

"I do very much."

*ring *ring *ring

Natsume received a text message

"It's Mikan."

"What did she say?"

"She told me to meet her up."

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go now."

At the Sakura Tree

Natsume saw Mikan with her all her bags.

"Where did you sleep last night?"

"It doesn't matter anymore."

"Where are you going? Why are you carrying all these stuff?"

"Natsume, I can't take my parents anymore. If they don't want us together then let's elope. We're done taking up college we can manage to get a job and support our new family. You and I, we belong together."

"No, Mikan."

"Why not Natsume? I thought you love me?"

"I do."

"Then, why not?"

"We can't be happy knowing that we are disappointing people we love and care about."

"But Natsume, what about us?"

"Our love will find a way Mikan but as for now you should talk to them." Said Natsume showing Mikan's parents

"Mikan, our daughter." Said Mikan's father then hugged her

"We're so sorry. We weren't there for all those times you needed us. We just wanted to give you the great future you deserve." Said her mother

"I understand. I'm sorry for running away."

"We're so lucky to have a daughter as understanding as you. We have to thank Akira for raising you well." Said her mother

"And since you grew up well, we believe you that you made the right choice on whom you should marry." Said his father smiling

"Really?"

"He seems like a nice guy plus he helped us find you." Her mother said.

"Natsume! Come here." Mikan shouted

"My daughter made the right choice of marrying you. We're giving you our blessing. Please take good care of my daughter."

"I will sir. Thank you very much." Said Natsume as he shook Mikan's father's hand

"Please. Call me, dad."

Mikan and Natsume smiled.

Mikan and Natsume's married life

Mikan's POV

"It's our fifth anniversary already and everyday I love Natsume more and more." Said Mikan while looking at their pictures

Mikan and Natsume's wedding picture

"Oh, how I remember this day when Hotaru and Ruka were asked to make a speech and they were both nervous.

Mikan with two babies just minutes after her delivery

"Haha. I almost saw Natsume fainting here."

Flashback…

"Nattttttttttsssuuummmee! Take me to the hospital now! I think I'm about to…"

"Wait don't panic!" said Natsume panicking

"Hyyyuuuuuuuuuggggggggga!"

"Mikan, relax. Please wait."

"You dummy. How am I supposed to relax? This is your entire fault. How I wish you'll be the one delivering our children." Shouted Mikan

"Wait, wait. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't know what to do."

"You dummy. You don't know what to do. I'll tell you what to do. Take that stupid car of yours and bring me to the hospital!" Mikan shouted as she threw all the stuff she can get and throw it at her husband who is also having panic attacks.

After delivery

"Mrs. Hyuuga?"

"Yup, that's me." Said Mikan resting on her hospital bed

"Congratulations on your twins. It's a girl and a boy."

"Thank you."

Moments after the nurse left Natsume who was sleeping on the couch woke up.

"Is that our… our…"

"Yes Natsume."

Natsume spaced out a little

"Are you crying, Natsume?"

"No! You do not know how hard it is to bring you to the hospital. Earlier, you were worse than a monster."

"Shut up."

"And you said you wanted a lot of kids."

"I do."

"You're just making excuses, you just want to throw stuff at me"

"I have to admit, seeing you in panic was really fun."

"Oh yeah."

"Yeah."

"Wait their waking up."

"Oh hi there babies. We're you're parents."

End of flashback

"It's been a great living with Natsume. He's an awesome father, he can balance managing their… I mean our company and being with our kids. Our parents are now talking to each other, Hotaru and Ruka are married now and they're expecting a child by next month. Luna and Takumi are doing pretty well since their meeting on our wedding. The funny thing is Takumi kept asking Natsume about Luna and Luna kept asking me about Takumi. As for me, since I'm busy with the kids I told mom to handle the clothing business first so I can focus on being a full time mom but sometimes, I also design clothes for the company."

"Hey, what are you doing?" said Natsume as he walked towards Mikan

"Nothing. I just wanted to look at some of our pictures."

"How many times would you look at those pictures? I know you think I'm handsome and all but, what I couldn't understand is… I'm already your husband isn't that enough? Why do you still have to stare at me while I'm gone?"

"Darn you, Hyuuga." Said Mikan blushing

"Are you calling yourself or me? Remember we share that name already."

"Hmmp."

"Hey, polka… Are you angry?"

"You went home late… and now you're calling me polka? Hmmp."

"Polka… Polka…"

But Mikan wouldn't answer.

"Mikan, look I'm sorry. The investors wanted a meeting with me."

"Are you sure that 'meeting' was with the investors not some girls you meet at a bar?"

"How did you know about that?" Natsume said jokingly.

Mikan threw him a pillow.

"Aww. My wife is jealous… you of all people who can understand me cannot see how much I love you." Said Natsume

Then a tear flowed down Mikan's face

"What did I do this time?"

"You just made me happy." Mikan said as she gave Natsume a kiss

"Well, if you'd give me that every time I make you happy, then I'll make you happy every second… Can I have… you know… one again?"

As they were about to kiss…

"Mommy! Daddy! Can we sleep at your room tonight?" said their children as they jumped to their mommy and daddy's bed.

"No. No. No. No, you're mommy wakes up all the time when it is very noisy."

"Then, we'll keep quiet. Please mommy. Please daddy."

"Sure kids… We could all sleep here together." Said Mikan

Mikan was amused at Natsume's annoyed expression.

"You serious polka?"

"Sorry Natsume…We're a family now."

"Fine, but can I at least have my kiss?"

"Sure."then Mikan kissed Natsume on the cheek.

"Tch."

"Daddy, daddy… tell us a story…"

"What story would you like?"

"How you met our mommy."

"Sure Natsume, tell them our story." Said Mikan with her don't-mess-the-moment-up-or-else look.

"You see. When I met your mother, she looks so dirty and she looks like she doesn't take a bath… And I was like…"

"Natssssuuummmeeee…"

The Hyuuga family kept laughing all night until they fell asleep.

FOR REVIEWING.

I'm sorry if I missed your name or anything. In general, I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU WHO HAD PATIENCE IN READING MY WORK. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR SUGGESTIONS AND CORRECTED MY MISTAKES. I can't promise that I would still continue writing fanfics. I'll be busy until May because I'll be studying really hard and I'll be preparing for my entrance exams.. Wish me luck. Good luck also to those who'll be taking but of course it's not a question anymore if I would keep reading fanfics since it's like my oxygen. HAHA! So there. If I'm not that busy. I'll correct all the mistakes here.

TAKE CARE EVERYONE.

P.S The Philippines was hit by a typhoon recently. Let's pray for those who are still having a hard time coping with their losses.

Lots of love,

NxMologist
