Fate or Destiny?

Epilogue

"You awake Lucy?" Cobra whispered, and Lucy gave a small hum as she felt their bed shift, knowing that if she looked over she would be staring into the violet colored eye that she loved.

"You don't think Aurora and Viper hate me, do you?" He suddenly asked, causing her to stiffen in surprise before quickly turning over staring at her husband. Blinking as she realized that he was dead serious about the question.

"Now, why in the world do you think that our twins hate you?" She asked, watching as he thought for a moment before rolling onto his back and staring at the ceiling. She frowned as he remained silent still, and began to bite at her bottom lip. It wasn't normal for Cobra to doubt himself like this, at least not anymore. Sure, when they had started going out and settling in together there were many times of doubt, but she had thought that they had gotten through all of that.

What between them moving in together, him proposing to her on his graduation day; much to her brother's dismay. Of course she had said yes, and the follow year after her graduation they had their wedding, bought a house, and begun their lives together. Only to get a surprise six months later when she found out that she was pregnant.

At first she was worried that it was too soon to start expanding their family, but had been thrilled to find out that Cobra was ecstatic when he discovered that he was going to be a father. Only to nearly faint a month and a half later when they found out that they were having twins! When her brothers had found out, there was a bit of a mixed reaction at their surprise party for the announcement.

The girls had 'awed' and 'cooed' while congratulating them. Her brothers however, well, to point it simple, they were out for Cobra's blood. Midnight being the first in line to corner him and threaten his manhood if he even so much as stuck a toe out of line, with Erza backing him up after she finished with her congratulations. As well as the rest promising their own forms of pain should he do anything to hurt her, or make her doubt herself with the children on the way.

She knew that they didn't need to worry about anything though. Her and Cobra had formed a bond that she doubted would ever be broken. Not to mention, when the twins were born, he cried more than she did, and even held them longer. Their daughter Aurora had been born first, with blonde hair, pale skin, and violet eyes. Then came her brother, Viper. Tan like his father, with maroon silky hair, and brown eyes that seemed to glow.

Those two babies had become their world, and they were willing to do anything for them. Even now, four years later, they had just finished cleaning up from the twins fourth birthday party. Set up as a medieval castle, with Aurora being the princess and Viper as the knight in shining armor. She wondered briefly if something had happened during today that she hadn't noticed.

"They always seem to go to you, before me. I was wondering if maybe, I'm not being the best father that I could be." Cobra finally muttered, causing her to blink and glance over at him. Feeling her chest tighten at the pained look in his eye, and eased over so she was resting her head on his chest. Relaxing some as his arm wrapped around her back and gripped her side lightly.

"Don't think that. You're the best father out there, they told you so on Father's Day, didn't they. Not to mention, you're the one who calms their nightmares. We both comfort them when they're not feeling well. We both kiss their boo-boos." She stated, watching as he sighed and rolled back over, hugging her closer to his body.

"But, whenever they want something, they go to you first. Why not me?" He asked, causing her to blush and shift slightly. She mumbled something, trying to look away when he looked up.

"What?" He asked, and she gave a sigh before giving him an apologetic look.

"That's probably my fault." She answered, watching as his eyebrow rose and he gave her a questioning look.

"Well, do you remember a while ago, when you told them that they couldn't go to the park that day because they had misbehaved? Well, I kinda took them anyway. So, they probably think that I'll always say yes, while you say no sometimes." She muttered, watching as he blinked before butting his head lightly against hers.

"Weren't you the one who said we needed to respect each others wishes when it came to them. So we don't spoil them?" He asked, causing her to shift again and pout up at him. Already knowing that she was going to be forgiven when he tensed slightly.

"I just thought you were being a bit harsh. They didn't mean to break that vase." She muttered, batting her eyes and watched as he tried to hold out by gave up on a sigh and huffed before smiling down at her.

"Honestly, what am I going to do with you?" He asked, pressing a kiss to her lips before hugging her close. Giving a hum, she laughed.

"Love me like you do." She whispered, smiling into his bare chest when he hummed in response.

"So long as you don't go behind my back like that again." He mocked out, causing her to laugh and roll her eyes.

"Oh please, it's not like I was going against your rule about them dating." She muttered, giving out a laugh when he suddenly dug his fingers lightly into her side, rolling on top of her while continuing to tickle her.

"That's one rule that is never up for a debate. Neither of them are allowed to date, especially Aurora, until I'm dead and gone." He stated, ending his tickle attack and captured her lips in a sensual kiss. Pulling back when she moaned in pleasure and then stared down at her with a smirk.

"You know, I still don't understand that rule." She muttered, raising up slightly to press a chaste kiss to his lips.

"Because, between me and your brothers, we'd kill any guy who so much as looks at Aurora the wrong way. While you and the other women would completely destroy any girl who dared toy with Viper's emotion. They would both have graveyards dedicated to their ex's alone." He muttered, his hand running down her side and gripping her hip. She merely nodded, too busy biting her bottom lip as he began to toy with her body. Causing pleasure to slowly build within her.

"You know, I've been thinking...Maybe it's time for them to have a younger brother or sister." Cobra whispered, causing her to blink her eyes open and give a smile. Giving a hum as he leaned down and re-captured her lips as he slowly began to trace down her outer thigh. Sliding his hand beneath the material of her loose sleeping shorts, and causing more pleasure to grow within her as she felt his excitement growing through the boxers he head on.

"Papa! I had a nightmare!" The screech from Aurora caused them to both tense, before Cobra gave a sigh and rested his head on her chest as she gave a laugh.

"I swear, they're little cock blockers." He mumbled, causing her to swat at his arm while she laughed. Only to smile as he rolled off of her and headed out of their room, across the hall, and into Aurora's room. Lucy waited only a moment, before rolling out of bed and following, waiting at the door as Cobra crouched down beside the small bed and hugged their daughter after pushing Sting and Rogue to the side. Since they were basically the guard dogs of their children now, and whenever one of them fussed, they both came running.

"I'm here now, Rory. What was that about a bad dream?" He asked, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead before meeting her gaze.

"I...I dreamed that you said you didn't love me no more." She whimpered out, and Lucy bit her bottom lip as Cobra visibly tensed before staring at the little girl in shock.

"Aurora...You need never worry about that, alright? I will always love you, and nothing will change that." He finally whispered, picking her up and hugging her close. Lucy once again felt her chest tighten as their daughter gave a sniff and clung to him tightly.

"B..But what...What if it does happen? What do I do?" She asked, and Lucy was about to speak, but stopped when Cobra pulled her back some and got her to focus on him.

"If that ever happens, I want you to go straight to Uncle Midnight and Aunt Erza. Tell them, alright?" He stated, and Lucy had to cover her mouth, knowing exactly what he was getting at.

"W...Why? W..Wont they get you for that?" Aurora asked, and Cobra gave a small smile.

"If I ever did anything like that, then I deserve whatever they do to me. Listen Rory, there may be times I lose my temper at you and your brother, but I will never stop loving you. Nothing in the world could stop that. Just as nothing in the world could stop me from loving your mother, this family is very precious to me, and I would never do anything to hurt any of you." He stated, and Lucy smiled as Aurora gave a nod and wrapped her small arms around Cobra's neck.

"M'kay Papa. B..But, could I still sleep with you and Momma tonight?" She asked, and Lucy gave a nod when Cobra glanced over at her.

"Sure you can, Princess." He stated, picking her up and grabbing her stuffed salamander from the bed.

"Momma, Papa? Is Rory alright?" Viper sounded, causing Lucy to turn around and smile as she watched their son rub at his eyes. Crouching down, she picked him up and gave a nod.

"Yeah, she's okay. She just had a bad dream." Lucy whispered, looking back at Cobra as he finally reached them.

"Papa, did you chase the dream away?" He asked, and Cobra nodded as he ruffled his hair.

"Yeah, I believe so." Cobra sounded, as they walked back to the bedroom.

"Thought so..Papa's the best when it come to fighting nightmares. Are we having a slumber party?" He finished on a yawn and Lucy giggled as she settled him beside her as Cobra walked around and laid a already dozing off Aurora on his side.

"You know Viper, I believe we are." She stated, watching as Cobra slid into bed and easily pulled the cover up over all of them, before laying on his side and stretching his arm out to hold all of them. Lucy could only watch for a while as Cobra nodded off with the kids, a smile on her face. They truly had come a long way, and they had a lot of bumps along the way. However, she wouldn't change any of it.

There it is! Thank you for reading! Hope you enjoyed it!
