Me: Wow…hehe, sorry for the wait…again. Um, but my dad blocked cause he said I was on it too much…I'm not even on my computer right now.

Renji: Does all this even matter?

Me: So mean RenRen! And on the last chapter too! Oops!

Renji: wait…what?

Me: Yeah…it's the last chapter-or epilogue. I decided I'd keep it at an even number, 20

Renji: Oh…wow

Me: (hugs him) AWWWW RenRen! You sad for me!!!

Renji: ACK! NO!! I'm happy! Just get on with it!

Me: Okay! Last chapter…

Chapter 20: Our store

Subtitle: The end-Epilogue

12 years later

Wind blew softly making a soft whistle sound. It was spring, the air was a comfortable warm. From a distance you could hear the bell on a store door ring.

"Hi misses Kurosaki" A young girl skipped into the shop with her mother.

"Hi there Rena!" Rukia greeted looking up from her magazine "Hey Tatsuki"

"Hi Rukia" Tatsuki greeted being dragged by her daughter

"Where are the men?"

"Coming this way"

"Hurry mommy! I want to see Hoshi! He's so cute!"

"Alright, alright" Tatsuki rolled her eyes "Where is he?"

"In the back, asleep" Rukia giggled. As they went back, Renji came in with 5-year old Renji Jr. (Rena's twin brother) on his shoulders. Ichigo followed behind with 5-year-old Taro by his side.

"Hey there" Ichigo greeted

"Yo" Renji said after

"Hey guys" Rukia looked smiled at her husband. She averted her gaze down to Taro's tear stained face "Sweetie what's wrong?" Ichigo placed him on the counter and he wiped his eyes.

"Rena beat him in class today"

"Again" Renji added chuckling. Ichigo elbowed him in the stomach.

"She beat Renji Jr. over there too!" Ichigo pointed out. Renji put down his son and turned back to Ichigo.

"Yeah well at least my boy didn't cry!"

"Your boy didn't get flipped over and sat on!"

"Hey boys" Rukia whispered putting Taro on the floor next to Renji Jr. "Why don't you go in the back and get some ice-cream from the back, okay?"

"Okay!" Taro cheered up "Come on Renji, I know where it is!" Rukia stood back up to see Ichigo and Renji still arguing.

"You wanna bet Raggedy Ann!"

"Bring it on Carrot-top!" Rukia shook her head and got between the men.

"Okay, lets not act like were in high school people!" She pushed them both back

"Renji!" Tatsuki called from the back "Rena is beating up Jr. again!"

"Oh man! Rena don't beat up your brother!" And with that Renji ran to the back

"Crazy day" Rukia giggled returning to the counter.

"Yeah" Ichigo sighed leaning on the counter "4 more months till I get a daughter" Ichigo smiled looking at her stomach.

"Yup, any names in mind?"

"No not yet"

"Daddy?" Ichigo looked down to see 2 year old Hoshi standing in front of him wiping his eyes.

"Hey little guy" Ichigo crouched down. Hoshi held out his hands and Ichigo picked him up, and sat him on the counter "Take a look around Hoshi, it's your mommy's shop" Rukia grabbed his hand and Hoshi's.

"Our shop"

"Our shop" Hoshi repeated giving a toothy grin. Rukia and Ichigo laughed.

"That's right little man" He ruffled his hair "Our shop"

CRASH!!

"Eeeekk! Taro, you knocked over all the ice-cream!!" Rena cried. Taro and Renji Jr. stepped from the back covered in ice-cream.

"Mommy, I taste good!"

Laughter filled the store.

Renji: I got a kid?

Me: Two actually, twins

Renji: Oh wow

Me: Um…I'm hoping I do another story soon…I LOVE ALL YOU GUYS! Especially the ones who've been there with me since the beginning! (And with me through those rough chapters) I hope you're happy with the ending!! OH YEAH!
