Here it is. The end of Bliss. I'm sorry it took so long -.-

Summer has been busier than I thought it would be... I've had no time to write.

Hopefully that will change now though! :)

Sorry this chapter is really short, but I really wanted to wrap it up sweet-like.

Any who, I hope you enjoyed my series (I think, No, I know and Bliss) they were a joy to write and I'm so thankful for all your kind words :')

Enjoy!

Epilogue

Great big sepia eyes stared into sceptical brown.

"Momma pleeeease!" Ruka sighed. Even at three, Hikari Kain was proving to be just as stubborn and persistent as her mother. Before she could answer though, Akatsuki walked through the kitchen doorway, Hanabusa behind him.

"Daddy!" Hikari's eyes sparkled and she smiled widely. Skipping over, she leapt into her father's arms and giggled. Haru ran over and attached himself securely to Akatsuki's leg and laughed. Akatsuki chuckled and lifted his son into his arm beside Hikari.

"What, no welcome for me?" Hanabusa teased. Hikari blushed and hid her face in her father's shoulder. Haru however smiled brightly at his father's cousin.

"Hi, Uncle Busa!" Hanabusa chuckled at his nickname. Although he wasn't their uncle, he considered them his niece and nephew so 'Uncle Busa' was perfectly acceptable in the privacy of their own homes.

"Can you please settle this Akatsuki? They've been at me all day." Ruka pleaded kissing her husband's cheek. Raising an eyebrow, he set the twins on the island countertop and questioned them.

"Music room?" They spoke in unison and looked up at Akatsuki with imploring eyes.

"Will you promise to behave yourselves?" Hikari and her brother nodded vigorously, smiling.

"I can chaperone if you like Akatsuki." Hanabusa suggested. Looking at the children they smiled gleefully. Akatsuki couldn't help but smile back.

"Off you go then." He lifted them individually and kissed them on the cheek before letting them go.

"Race you Hikari!" Haru called out, his auburn curls bouncing as he ran. Hikari giggled and rushed to catch up, her slightly darker curled braids flying behind her. Hanabusa nodded to Ruka and calmly followed the rambunctious duo.

Ruka sighed and stepped into Akatsuki's waiting arms.

"I missed you." She mumbled into his shirt. Akatsuki chuckled, his voice rumbling in his chest making Ruka's stomach flutter.

"Goodness, how ever did you survive without me so many years ago?" he teased. Ruka hit his arm playfully but still hard enough to warn him.

"Don't be mean." Akatsuki smiled crookedly and followed her to the living room where he pulled her onto the couch with him. Laughing Ruka looked up into his eyes, his beautiful sienna eyes that made her heart pound. She ran her fingers through his hair that flipped out in its natural wild way and trailed across his light stubble lining his strong jaw. He felt a shiver go down his spine at her delicate touch. Her bright brown eyes protected by full long lashes seduced him as they always did. He leant down and kissed her tenderly. Soft hesitant music notes reached them and they smiled against each other's lips. Communicating through glances, they got up and made their way to the music room. Coming in the door, they saw Hikari holding a violin under her small chin, her eyes determined, tongue out to the side. Haru held a cello close, his small hands travelling up the chords. Smiling, both Ruka and Akatsuki stepped in.

"Will you help us?" Haru asked cheerfully. Ruka came over and sat on her knees, holding her son around the shoulders.

"Always." Akatsuki kissed Hikari's cheek and positioned the instrument more comfortably in her small arms.

"Play for us." He said softly. Eager, the twins obliged. Music filled the room and everyone smiled. In the Kain household, it was rare there wasn't at least one smile a day. Akatsuki and Ruka Kain were happy and proud parents, well respected in society and blissfully private.

They were content.
