And we are here! Yep, we have made it this far and I couldn't have done it without all of my self-motivation and re-watching of the movie of my favourite snake man! You all are welcome to write oneshots with my OCs but still you have to ask me first. Now, let's close the book.


Epilogue

A muffled sound of a baby cry stirred Copperhead from his sleep. He woke up, trying to process his surroundings with his still groggy mind. His beloved wife too stirred but he gently stroked her hair, letting her know he could handle this.

He walked towards the other room and scooped his crying baby boy. Suddenly, his little twin also whimpered in her sleep, making the snake man carry both of his children into their bedroom. On the bed, he gently purred and nuzzled his children to comfort them. Oh, how lucky he was to have married such a wonderful woman and be blessed to have twins. A son and a daughter together.

"It's alright, little ones," Copperhead cooed softly. "I'm here…your mother's here too…."

Liliana couldn't help but snuggle into her husband. He's so good with her and the kids! She smiled, reached out her hand to stroke their little heads. She thought how much her daughter looked just like her father with his scales but retained her beauty and her sweet smile. Her son, may not have a lot of scales but he's such a handsome boy with blonde hair resembling his mother's but his eyes held a curious glance at everything. She was blessed to be a mother to the twins.

But it wasn't easy.

When the twins were born, Liliana suffered from postpartum depression for a month because the twins put a strain on her physically and emotionally. She almost wanted to quit her stable job she loved and devoid herself of her own self-interest because of them. When they cried, Liliana wanted to kill herself due to lack of sleep and sometimes gazing at the kids, thinking how much they caused her a lot of trouble.

If it weren't for Copperhead, she wouldn't have seek help and treatment to get better.

Now, she adored and loved her twins so much. She promised to love them along with avoiding becoming like her mother. She vowed to make sure her kids felt wanted and not something to relieved your burden on. She took both of the babies in her arms, kissed them with much love a mother could give. Her own mother still tried to contact her but she refused to answer.

It was her punishment.

"They love you, my flower," Copperhead told her. He pulled her close to lean into his chest as they adore their children. Slowly, they fell asleep and Liliana suggested that the twins can be between them. Copperhead chuckled, kissing his wife softly on the lips.

"I love you, Sameer," Liliana sighed lovingly.

"I love you as well, my dear."

Liliana was taking some photos of her husband taking an afternoon nap with the twins. She cold hardly control her squeals of how adorable he looked with the two in his arms. She would dedicated a photo album of the four of them together.

She saw her son stirring, cooing a bit.

"Hi Qibli," she smiled, scooping him up. "Let your daddy and sister have a nap. We could go to the park together."

At the park, Liliana was pushing her son in his stroller, letting him view the whole surroundings. She was surprised to find an old friend there, taking an afternoon jog.

"Benji!" Liliana waved. The man stopped and saw who it was.

"Hey, Liliana," he greeted her before looking at her son. "Hey, is this Qibli? Ain't he getting big."

"Sure is," she smiled, letting Bronze Tiger hold her son. It was a good idea between her and Copperhead to make him the kids' godfather. He's very patient with them. "Sameer is still taking a nap with Nagini. I bet she'll wake him up by now."

The three of them headed back and Liliana was right. Both father and daughter were playing a little game of their own. They still have their pet snake, Verdi who was basking near the balcony to get some heat. Qibli gurgled his way of wanting to join his sister.

Bronze Tiger watched the family having fun in each other's company. He was happy for the snake man who found salvation through this woman and redeemed himself by becoming a father and a husband. He sighed, wishing his love was with him so that they too could start a family.

Alas, this is the closest thing he has as a family. Becoming the godfather meant so much to him every time he spent with the kids, hopefully one day train them for basic self-defence class and games he had played with his own father before the military took him. Right now, his freedom had given him a second chance.

"Sameer, could you watch the kids while I make tea for us?"

"Of course, dear," he kissed her. Copperhead offered Bronze Tiger to sit on the sofa, allowing the twins to crawl between their father and godfather. He smiled, seeing that the kids turned out alright after all that has happened. He decided to tell Copperhead of some updates he was told.

"Waller's dead. The cancer has take its toll on her."

"Well, I wouldn't celebrate just yet," said Copperhead carefully. "You'll never know if she left with a back up plan."

"So far, no ticking sounds in our heads," Bronze Tiger tapped the back of his head. "Might wanna get it removed soon."

He told Copperhead how Deadshot has finally reunited with his daughter while he himself became a trainer at the local gym. He was glad because he was done doing all of the dirty work in the past and looked where it got him.

"Gentlemen," Liliana smiled. "Tea's ready and let me put the kids back in the crib."

But Copperhead insisted they can still stay. The blonde woman smiled, sitting next to her husband. She had made a lot of bad decisions in the past but she has never regretted a single moment with her family. Copperhead looked so contented with his children playing with their toys while their pet watched the scene carefully.

Closing her eyes, she drifted off for a bit. She still couldn't believe that she has married to the man she loved and their relationship has become better after their honeymoon. The only thing that concerned her would be finding the right kindergarten for Qibli and Nagini when they are four-years old. Right, she wants to enjoy the blissful life she was having.

This is Liliana's version of Heaven and she wouldn't trade it with anything else!
