Epilogue:

It had been many years that the couples had been friends and been together. On this particular day, one would find two couples that lived just down the street from each other in a nice little gated community in Beverly Hills, California.

It was a celebration of two children who had been born only two years and one week apart. Birthday cake, balloons, clowns and lots of presents filled the back yard of the guests of honor: five year old Sean Hizuri, platinum blond hair like his mother, green eyes like his father, and three year old Etsuko Heel, raven black hair like both her parents and the beautiful golden eyes that her father loved so very much. Both were filled with love and both would share that love many years later down the road, but for now Etsuko-chan was sitting comfortably in the lap of her best friend in the world and listening to him read her a fairy tale from the book that Auntie Setsu and Uncle Kuon had got for her.

Setsuka sidled up to Kyoko and smirked. "Soooo... When are you due?"

Kyoko giggled. "March, and you?"

Setsuka groaned. "April; although, one would think it was tomorrow with how big I am with these two." She groused.

Kyoko gasped. "Twins?!"

Cain raised an eyebrow at Kuon and Kuon just shrugged as he continued to flip the burgers on the grill. They had only found out for certain, days ago.

"What can I say man?" He smirked. "I'm just that good." He muttered and Cain shook his head, then chuckled.

"Congratulations." He mumbled.

Kuon patted him on the back. "You too." At that moment the little get together was interrupted by two sets of happy grandparents that were ecstatic to see their children and grandchildren. The Hizuris and the Heels would forever be linked in one way or another.
