AN: Last Chapter! Thanks for reading loves3 Hope you enjoyed the feels:D

Naomi patiently stared dead ahead of herself. Listening in content to the sounds of the world around her, like a child who was first brought into the world. It was quiet...and it was so peaceful.

She finally had gotten a moment away from the chaos happening at her house, and had gone to sit besides her favorite spot. The walk had been tiring on her old bones, but sometimes it was good to just wander for a while.

To get lost without really losing her way.

Sighing, contently, the older woman allowed her head to lean back and her eyes to close. Soaking in the wonderful sunlight.

"I can't remember the last time I had a moment to come here..."

Don't get her wrong, she adored her children and grandchildren just as much as Seiko did, but to even get a second of silence now adays? It was as rare as it was unlikely. So perhaps the trip hadn't been as taxing as she made it out to be. Maybe she was just that old.

Enjoying the way the gentle breeze caused her aged hair to flutter softly and tickle her neck and face, Naomi smiled. The feeling reminded her of when she and Seiko had been young...still so curious and unsure. A light kiss here and there. A shy look and fumbling hands. Heavens she had been so unsure. But even to this day Seiko managed to hold herself better then she ever could.

"Never nervous...not even for half a second."

Seiko had lead the way to practically every milestone for them. Their first everything, almost. Of course Naomi had swallowed her nerves enough times to be considered somewhat even as far as their game went.

But now?

"It's always Seiko showing me what is what...always."

Gazing up as a nearby mockingbird squeaked a small tune, the aged woman peered around her. There were families, couples, and single patrons all around. Each taking in the same beauty as she...but the thought still gave her no comfort. They were all so young and had so much to live and experience.

What she wouldn't give for more time back when everything had been simpler. If it were up to Naomi she would take Seiko's hand at this very moment and turn back time. Back to when they were children laughing over small things, back when they were young lovers still learning of each other's feelings...back when life wasn't so long pass by day after day.

Moving to brush a stray strand away from her eyes, Naomi noticed a figure walking over slowly to sit beside her. Lightly grasping onto her hand in an all too familiar way.

"Got tired of hearing them all fight over Monopoly?"

Looking over at Seiko comically, Naomi rolled her eyes skyward. Her laughter flowing like that of the falling leaves.

"Gods above, I'm sure you booked it as soon as I did too. I swear every weekend they just manage to get louder and louder."

"They inherited their volume from me anyways. I suppose this is the universes way of giving me a taste of my own medicine."

"Very true love...very true."

Smiling as though she hadn't aged a day, the mature girl moved to lean her head down on Naomi's shoulder.

"You love them just as much as I do."

"Never said I didn't...they all remind me of you."

"And it's nice that they find time to visit us as often as they do."

"Again very true love."

With a sigh the two fell into a comfortable silence. Naomi felt her heart beat like it had when she had first held Seiko's hand. Somehow her wife always managed to give her butterflies...even after all these years.

"I have to head back. We both should before they call a man hunt."

Meeting the smaller girl's eyes, Naomi allowed a small smile to grace her features.

"Okay. You go, Ill catch up. See you later?"

"Of course."

Seiko placed a small sweet kiss upon Naomi's lips, before turning to walk away.

"Mom?"

Naomi's tired gaze turned upwards. The sun was being over shadowed by the figure of her eldest son standing over her.

"Mom you okay?"

"I'm fine Yuu...just wanted a little break from all the excitement. Personally I didn't care to find out who pulled a chance card and who ended up buying Texas."

Smiling softly, the older man laughed.

"Aw come on now you make us sound like a bunch of loons."

"You all are. Trust me I'm married to one I would know."

Smile faltering, Yuu became serious as he moved around the bench.

"You know the home doens't like when you wander off like this. And your nurse said you didn't take your medication today."

Waving her hand to say never mind that, Naomi felt the gentle grasp on her forearm as her son moved to help her up.

"I don't like that stuff. It messes with my head."

"It HELPS your head mom. You can't just walk away from it, it isn't safe."

Turning back to glance around her Naomi frowned slightly. Not at all liking where she was.

"Yuu? Why are we here?"

"...You always come here mom. It's okay im taking you back to the home now."

"But...why would I come to a graveyard. It's far to depressing. Maybe I should tell Seiko to come with me next time, she'll explain everything."

"Yeah...mama can come next time. Come on mom."

Lifting his hand to assist the older woman towards his car, the oldest child of 4 smiled as his mother's eyes closed softly in exhaustion. Poor girl had practicality spent all her energy for the day.

"I miss Seiko Yuu, take me back home I want to see her."

Looking away sadly, Yuu waited until after his mother was safely inside the car. Then he turn around to stare at the bench where Naomi had been sitting. Staring sorrowfully at the headstone before it. Seiko Shinohara-Shinning all the brighter among the stars.

"...I miss her too mom. So so much..."
