Hello readers! You wanted it, you got it. This is the last chapter. I am sad because this was so much fun to write. But don't worry, there's plenty more where that came from. I want to thank all of you for reviewing, following and adding this story to your favorites list. I am so glad that you loved my story and I plan to write more when I can.

(Angela POV)

I was sitting in the garden behind our house. After I told Rioichi that we were having a family, we agreed that we needed a bigger place. Instead, we found a lovely house not too far from the restaurant that had a beautiful garden and the river flowed behind the house. Life has been perfect.

Instead of having one child I actually had triplets the first time. Two girls and one boy. The girls were named Henriette Jane, and Amaya Hazumi Cooper. Ironically, Rioichi and I liked the name I took when I was disguised as a geisha, so we decided to name one of the girls that. Both of them were daddy's little princesses and Rioichi doted upon them every second of the day. While my son, Sly Rioichi Cooper was a mommy's boy and always demanded my attention over his fathers. I named him after the two most important men in my life, my best friend, and my son's father. It was a way to keep both of them with me for always. All three of them took after Rioichi in so many ways. Sly was the spitting image of his father, a red panda but he had my blue eyes. While the girls looked just like me with my brown colored fur and darker brown rings on their tails, except with Rioichi's brown eyes.

Before we found out how many children we were having, Rioichi asked me to marry him and become his mate and wife officially. Of course, I said yes. Our wedding was on a lovely spring night in our garden surrounded by cherry blossoms and the light of a full moon. It was one of the best nights of my life. I only wished Sly was there with me. After we were married, my loving husband doted upon me and made sure I was happy. I would never forget the day that our little angels came into this world.

Rioichi was nervous and excited at the same time. He never left my side while I gave birth. When the cries of the baby raccoons filled the air, there was never a brighter smile on his face with tears of joy in his eyes. I can only imagine what his and the kids' reaction will be due to the news I have.

My thoughts were interrupted by the rushing of feet approaching me.

"Mommy, mommy!" I turned and saw my daughters running towards me. I knelt down with a smile as they rushed into my arms.

"Hello my darlings. Have you been running from your father and brother again?" I asked with my arms crossed and a smirk. Both of my girls were looking down and Henriette was looking at the ground with her good eye. She got into an accident with her brother. Sly was playing with Rioichi's cane and Henriette got too close and he hit her in the face, taking out one eye. She now wears an eye patch and her nickname is Henriette "one-eye" Cooper.

They both said "no" at the same time I heard "yes". I looked and saw my son at the entrance to the garden.

"Sorry Mom, they wanted to see you badly." He explained while running towards me. I stood up and put my paw on his head.

"It is alright Sly." Sly then wrapped his little arms around my waist as I wrapped him in my arms.

"Mama, I want to be a pirate and sail the seas when I grow up." Henriette said.

"A pirate? That is exciting. Well sweetheart, you are a Cooper. You can do anything you set your heart out for." I said while smiling. My children had such big dreams.

"I want to be an archeologist." Amaya said.

"And I want to be a ninja master thief, just like Dad." I smiled greatly at this.

"Your father will be happy to hear that. In fact, we think that all three of you are old enough for him to start training you in the ways of the Cooper Clan." My children smiled massively and all hugged me.

"We will make you proud mommy." Henriette said. I was paying so much attention to my children that I failed to see a certain red panda sneak up behind me.

"I know you will, sweetheart. By the way, where is your father?" I asked. Immediately after, I felt something hook around my waist and yank me backwards. I squealed and squirmed before I was wrapped in the arms of my husband with his tail wrapping around me.

"Hello Mrs. Cooper." He whispered in my ears, bringing shivers down my spine as usual.

"Hello yourself" Mr. Cooper" I turned around in his arms and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I can see that the children escaped me and found you again." I laughed at this.

"You must understand dear, they are Coopers, they are adventurous. They take after you in that way." He chuckled and wrapped me tighter in his arms.

"Maybe so, but they have your beauty Watashi no ai." He then pulled my lips to his. After all of this time, our love and passion still burned like a strong flame. I hope that it will never dim, even as we grow old.

Our moment was interrupted by the groaning of our children.

"Ewwww!" our children groaned out, covered their eyes, and stuck out their tongues in disgust. We laughed at their reactions.

"Children, you will need to get used to it. I will never stop showing your mother how much I love her." Rioichi said while keeping me wrapped in his arms.

"it's still gross Dad. I am never going to be like that." Sly said while crossing his arms stubbornly. Rioichi chuckled and knelt in front of his son.

"You say that now son, but your feelings will change as you get older, trust me. I was the exact same way when I was your age. But that all changed when I met your mother." He smiled while looking up at me.

"Well, that won't happen to me." We all laughed at Sly. He was most certainly his father's son. Rioichi stood up while laughing and wrapped an arm around my waist.

"Let's go inside and have dinner." Rioichi announced after we all caught our breaths. I stopped everyone. It was time to tell them my news. I am not as worried as I was the first time.

"Before we do that, I have an announcement to make: Someone will be coming in about 8 months." The children were confused but Rioichi understood exactly what I was saying as his eyes widened and his mouth dropped open.

"Are you certain my love?" I nodded my head and I was swept off of my feet and swung in a circle as my husband kissed me deeply.

"What's going on? Who is coming?" Our children asked at the same time. Rioichi put me down and brought me close to him as he explained to them.

"What your mother means is that you are going to have a baby brother or sister. Your mother is having another baby." Their little mouths dropped open and their eyes began to sparkle.

"YAAAAY!" The children shouted and jumped around with joy. I put my paw on my stomach with happiness and Rioichi covered my paw with his as we smiled lovingly at each other.

"Now go inside and wash up for dinner. We will be in there soon." They nodded and ran into the house while shouting how they're going to be a big brother and big sisters.

I turned to Rioichi as he pulled me against him and smashed his lips with mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and his wrapped tightly around my waist as our tails entwined. As usual our kiss left us both breathless when we broke away.

"I love you so much Angela Cooper. You have given me everything I have ever wanted: a beautiful mate in you, three wonderful children and another little one on the way. My life is perfect all because of you." Rioichi cupped my cheek with one paw as the other kept wrapped around my waist. I leaned into his paw.

"And I love you Rioichi Cooper. Before you, I thought I would die of a broken heart. But you saved me and I have never been happier. I have you, Henriette, Amaya, and Sly with me and I am never letting go as long as you never let me go."

"Never." He kissed me once more, then Rioichi and I walked back into the house to feed the three hungry mouths that were waiting on us.

I thought back to everything I have been through. I have always thought that I lost my chance because my best friend, Sly Cooper did not love me. I believed that I was not meant to fall in love. But now I am grateful that Sly did not love me. For if he did, I would not be happy with my family. His rejection gave me what I truly wanted. It gave me a second chance at love and a wonderful life with my true love and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

The end! That's it. The story is finished. I had so much fun writing this and I am glad you enjoyed it.
