I am soo Sorry for the long wait! I had a serious case of writers block and was also distracted on a new story that I have been working on so please forgive me this is the best I could come up with for an epilogue! Enjoy!


Three children could be seen sitting in the garden underneath a blooming tree on the lap of a beautiful woman with midnight blue hair, porcelain skin and lavender eyes. This garden was a Japanese style garden that connected to the garden next door "So that I may see my grandchildren as much as possible!" Mikoto had exclaimed on the day of her eldest grandchild's birth, Hinata had just giggled at the idea at first but it ended up being a fun project for her and her mother-in-law as well as her sister-in-law to do. Now there was a garden that connected the Uchiha leader's family houses.

Two of the children were young twin boys, they both had dark raven hair but one had deep onyx eyes and the other pale lavender. The other child was a girl with raven hair and blue eyes. All three were looking at a photo album while Hinata played with her niece's long hair.

"This is your wedding day right Okaa-san?"

Hinata nodded looking down at the picture, she was wearing a white kimono with lavender flowers pinning her hair. Itachi was also wearing traditional Japanese wedding attire. Their wedding was traditional with a traditional reception afterwards.

"How did Oji-san propose again?" her nice asked looking up from the album.

"Well it was on a warm spring night just a year after we started dating, and just over there;" the woman pointed to a blossom tree on the outside border of Mikoto's garden, "He knelt down and asked for my hand."

The young girl got a dreamy look on her face as she squealed about how perfect her uncle and aunt were for each other.

Hinata giggled at the girl's antics as she thought back on that night.

Mikoto had insisted that they have a family barbeque to celebrate their year anniversary along with some of the Hyuuga family as well. Both families were infamous about their pride and large egos so when having two alpha families in the same room; it promised chaos.

Hanabi and Neji did their best to be polite but her father as well as Fugaku just had to try and one up the other with the "my horse is better than yours" attitude. The look on Mikoto's face was priceless once she noticed all of the men's bickering. She legitimately hit both men on the backs of their heads and yelled at them to behave. That's when Itachi had pulled his girlfriend aside so that they could get a breath of fresh air away from their family drama. And that's when he proposed, asking if she would be willing to deal with their clan drama together and to be his forever. She of course consented practically jumping on him with tears streaming down her face. And they were married about nine months later.

Hinata glanced back at the children with the album still in their hands. There were pictures of all her friends at the wedding and the reception. Naruto, Sakura and Ino laughed as Sasuke scowled at whatever had been said before the photo was taken; Kiba looking mildly annoyed at seeing Akamaru's massive tongue licking off the rest of his food from his plate while Hanabi hid her giggles behind her hand. There was also a picture with the newly wedded couple as they had stepped away from the crowd for a little more peace and quiet. There were many other pictures from the wedding; those were just Hinata's favorite. She then noticed the picture that showed their house when the couple had first moved in together.

Hinata had been excited to have a place to call her own.

On their first night after Itachi had carried her over the threshold, Hinata had cried out of happiness. She then had expressed her excitement to start a family with her beloved.

A few years after they married, Hinata became pregnant with the twins.

Speaking of, the dark haired beauty noticed the baby pictures of when the twins were born. She couldn't help but to feel lucky that someone thought to bring a camera to the hospital. If they hadn't; she wouldn't have been able to have a picture of Itachi's face as he held his two sons for the first time.

The overwhelming love on his face practically screamed of his silent promise to be the best father possible for his children.

Both have begun to show signs of being prodigies like their father. One of them would soon be able to use the sharingan and the other the byakugan. Her sister was more than excited to have a new byakugan user to help train.

Hinata's train of thought was broken once again at sensing another presence entering the garden.

"Otou-san!" both boys exclaimed at spotting their father, Itachi smiled and scooped both children up into his arms while kissing the top of his wife's head.

"We've been looking at pictures," the woman informed as their niece approached to greet her uncle.

"Okaa-san wants to have dinner with our and Sasuke's families tonight." Itachi patted his niece's head while he spoke to his wife who nodded her consent.

The older woman loved having her son's families over for dinner once a week, and would have Hinata and Ino come over early to help make a desert just like the first time Hinata had come over to the Uchiha's home for dinner the first time.

The bluenette smiled at seeing her blond friend beckon her over to get stared with their mother-in-law.

Itachi noticed the exchange and turned to his wife as she kissed him on the cheek, "I love you," she whispered and then joined Ino as they entered his child hood home leaving him there with the children who looked up at him expectantly.

"Can you help with target practice Oji-san?" Itachi's niece spoke up, "That would be fine as long as we don't get too dirty, we don't want to get any of our Okaa-sans angry with us do we."

Upon hearing the affirmation, the twins and their cousin ran in their houses to grab their practice gear. The older man chuckled at their eagerness. He truly loved his family and was grateful for the amazing woman that had been willing to let him into her life.


I'm sorry the story had to end for those of you who had expressed they wanted otherwise but I had no ideas on what to do with them next with this story line. I hope you will forgive me! Once again thanks for the support!
