Epilogue

6 Years later

September 3rd

"Mo—"

A sleeping Tomoyo faintly heard some whispered words nearby, but her eyelids were still heavy. Albeit, her ears were listening well the sounds.

"Sshhhh," someone whispered, "Mom is still sleeping."

"Don't talk loudly, Kobato-chan," another said softly.

"Mm... I'm sowwy, Ohji-niisan, Mino-niisan," said a little girl voice.

Unconsciously, Tomoyo was mumbling incoherently because she was still not fully awake, That made the three children frozen at their spot. They were waiting for their mother to sit but nothing happened so the trio breathe in relief. Eriol stood at the bedroom door frame, smiling to his children when the trio looked at him questioningly. He nodded and raise his hand to slowly start counting.

One...

Two...

Three!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!"

Her Amethysts eyes snapped opened, instantly her sight was full of her children smiling faces with her twins boys sit on each side while the youngest girl hovering on her chest. Although she has woken up roughly, Tomoyo was smiling, "W-what?"

"It's yow b'day, Mom!" Kobato, the youngest (nearly 3 years old) and the only girl beamed at her beloved mother. The eldest twin, Ohjiro (5 years old), sat on her right side, he got Eriol's blue eyes, "Happy birthday, Mom," he kissed Tomoyo's cheek followed by his younger twin brother, Minoru who inheriting her amethyst eyes, kissing her left cheek, "Wish you all the best, Mom."

"Thank you, Ohjiro-kun, Minoru-kun," slowly, Tomoyo still in her nightgown sat up with her youngest daughter sat on her lap, "and Kobato-chan." She smiled gently at her children. Kissing their foreheads before hugging the three of them who were laughing in one hug.

"Ah, Dad! The cake! The cake!" Shouted Kobato to her father, urging him to come inside. Eriol chuckling went in with a birthday cake on his hand. He started singing Happy Birthday song and their children singing along until Eriol stopped to seat on the edge of the bed. Tomoyo glistening eyes looking lovingly at her husband and children. Listening to the song before blowing the candles.

"Happy birthday and happy anniversary, Honey" said Eriol before kissing his wife forehead tenderly. Tomoyo smiling and kissing his husband cheek softly, "Thank you, Darling. Happy anniversary to you too."

"Mom, mom, I put the stowbewy on the cake," Kobato was pointing at the fruit on the cake. "Twy it, twy it."

"Kobato-chan, Mom should cut the cake first," said Ohjiro gently to his sister. Kobato apologized, "Sowwy, Mom..."

Chuckling, Tomoyo gripped the plastic knife from Eriol to slice the cake, "Nothing to worry, Dear." She cut the birthday cake and ate the strawberry, "It's delicious, thank you, Kobato-chan," Tomoyo smiled at her daughter who beamed at her. She took a fork then slice a small piece cake to feed it to Kobato, "Here, for you."

The reddish-brown haired little girl eating it eagerly and commented, "Yummy~!"

Tomoyo did the same to her twins boys and Eriol, cutting a slice for everyone and put each slice in small plates before give it to their children. "Itadakimasu~!" said the Trio.

While watching their children eating happily, Eriol and Tomoyo smiled contently. The twins boys look like Eriol but Minoru has amethytst eyes like his mother and his maternal grandmother, Sonomi, while Ohjiro has blue eyes like his father. Their youngesst and the only daughter, has long reddish-brown hair color like Sonomi's with amber eyes like Fujitaka's which was inherited from Eriol's grandfather, Clow Reed's father.

"You know, I had a weird dream last night," said Tomoyo while eating the cake.

She checked the clock on the wall. It's quite early. 7 am.

"Oh? What kind of dream?" Eriol took off his glasses after some icing from Kobato's fork fly and landed on them. He absently took a tissue from the desk beside the table.

"It's... about us but we were younger. Much younger but we look the same age."

Eriol stopped wiping his glasses, "Can you guess the age?"

"Well, from the uniform and height, I think around 10 or 11."

"I see... anything happened in your dream?"

"Hmmm... from what I remember, it looks like you transferred to my class and the teacher ordered you sit behind my desk. I don't remember the details because it was like watching a fast forward movie. In flashes, I saw you with a blue robe holding the sun staff you have from Clow-san. The magic circle was also the same. Then there were two beings? I don't know what they were but one looked humanoid with butterfly wings, it looked a lot like Nakuru-san and the other was a dark blue panther with butterfly wings too. Not only that, Sakura and Li were also there."

Eriol chuckled and Tomoyo did the same, "Hard to believe, right?"

"Not really," his blue eyes twinkled with meaning. Tomoyo tilted her head. "Why?"

"You're telling the truth," one of Eriol's ability whenever he took off his glasses, "I can see your voice."

Besides, the world is not only one.

Fin.

mmlove.1718: Wow! This is the first time you review in hours time since I first updated! Amazing! Yeah? You agree too with Kusanagi? Thanks! :) I almost didn't choose anyone as Tomoyo's father haha but I think it will be fun to choose one. Owwwh... you would do that for me? I'm so touched :') Good for you! It's nice to write something, right? Fighting! Ah... dear... I feel honoured... I don't think I'm good... but... thanks. It means a lot to me... Q~Q

Lin Lu Lo Li: Yeah... I feel sad too QoQ Thank you for thingking this story cute :') I'm...more than happy to know how you enjoyed this story. I was in tears while writing the vow :') I couldn't be more agree about toddler Eriol hahaha

Man... it's finished. Took quite a long time to finished it but I'm gonna miss writing Eriol x Tomoyo. I can't thank you enough for you guys who supported this fic by reviews, favs or alerts the last two years.

I'm grateful. Truly, I am.

The chapters title's meaning:

Omiai : Arranged Married

Onaji: Similar

Otomodachi: Friend

Itsunomanika: Unnoticed

Iru kara: Since exist

Ironna: Various

Aisuru: Being in love (often found in songs not in actual conversation)

Arainagasu: To wash away

Aishiteru: I love you (which usually used by husband and wife)

Sides notes about the children of Eriol and Tomoyo in this story: Ohjiro (Mihara) is from Angelic Layer, Minoru (Kokubonji) is from Chobits and Kobato (Hanato) is from Kobato. Of course, all of them are CLAMP's work too.

I choose to make Ohjiro and Minoru twins because in my story, Tomoyo has twin aunties (Sashi and Kaara) and twin cousins ( Shura and Tennou) so genetically, she has chance to have a twin too. At first I planned twin girls or twin boy-girl but I couldn't find a girl resembles Tomoyo from Clamp's works. Even Kobato was kinda forced because I want them to have a daughter, luckily Kobato has red hair like Sonomi and eyes like Fujitaka so genetically she can be Tomoyo-Eriol's children in my story (because Eriol is Fujitaka's half-nephew)

Imho, Minoru resembles Eriol a lot. The way he smiles, hair and gestures, he really look like the copy of Eriol. Ohjiro maybe not exactly like Eriol but have the same aura like him. So, I personally think both of them can be Eriol's family relatives if not sons. Ohjiro-Minoru-Kobato have unnamed parents so I think it's coincidence.

But, hey, there are no coincidence, only inevitable LOL

See you guys in another time!
