25 Years Later:
Tamaki's POV:
A limo pulled up, and I smiled. Out stepped a beautiful blonde woman, and a brown haired strapping man. They both looked teary eyed as they stepped out. With my arms open wide, I embraced them both.
"Which row is she again?" asked the blonde girl. I looked quickly around and then responded, "She's in row 23." She nodded solemnly, and then wandered off. Choked cries could be heard as she tried to hide her tears. The young man took her hand, comforting her.
We stopped in front of an elaborately carved stone marker. On it was, 'Haruhi Suoh, Loving Wife, Mother, and Friend.' Along with the quote 'Real love stories never have endings.' "My dear Haruhi, it's been too long."
I felt the sting of tears start to grip me, but as I glanced at the two beautiful people in front of me, I held them back. "Hiroki, do you want to say anything to your mother?"
The brown haired boy let his hair fall in front of his eyes, but I could still see the signs of tears being restrained. "Mom, I miss you, and I wish I could've gotten to know you better. I'm starting medical school next fall, and I'll be an oncologist. I'll help people with cancer."
He looked as if he couldn't hold back anymore, so I went over and hugged him. "I'm so proud of you Hiroki, and I know your mother would've been so proud." He nodded against my jacket and then lifted up his head. "Kotoko, is there anything you want to say?"
She dried her eyes with her handkerchief and then nodded weakly in my direction. "Mom, I'll be starting an internship at a big law firm soon. It's near where grandma used to work. I.." she paused, composing herself, "I know that you'll be with me, every day, to guide me and help me. I know you never got to go to law school, so I'm so happy I can fill in your shoes and help the world."
She started to cry again, but I hugged her close and dried her tears. I grabbed Hiroki's arm as well, so that we could all be together. "Why don't you two go wait in the car? There is one last thing I want to say, and then we'll go celebrate your birthdays."
I watched them get back in the limo, and then went to place my hand against the cold stone. "Haruhi, my darling Haruhi," at this point, I didn't hide my tears, I didn't need to be strong for my kids, "I miss you more and more every day. There is so much you've missed, last year Kyoya and Taylor's daughter, Asami got married, to Hikaru and Hannah's son, Sato. Everyone misses you so much, Taylor insisted on naming their second girl Haruhi. She's heading off to medical school with Hiroki. Brightest girl I've ever met, graduated college early. Too early to tell, but I think our son is quite smitten."
I took a deep breath and dried some of the tears that were running down my face. "It seems like just yesterday I was cradling you in my arms and kissing you. I can't believe it's been so long. Well I must go, goodbye, my love."'
Before I left, I placed on her grave, beautiful cherry blossoms. Like I said all those years ago, cherry really is my favorite.
Sorry its short, but I needed some sort of resolution. This is it, it's been so long, but it's finally complete. Thank you to all of you who have been with me since the beginning. Special thanks to LeeshyLoo for helping me name the twins, and thank you to everyone who read it, it was an honor to write for you guys. Also if you want to see Kotoko and Hiroki, look on my profile.
