"But perhaps it was only an echo." I finished reading Alphonse and Alouette, "The Giver", an English book I got in America. After high school, I didn't live the provincial life I so dreaded. Tamaki and I traveled a bit, and we gave birth to 2 beautiful children; first Alphonse, then Alouette a year later. "The end." I finshed.
Ali's eyes widened. "HUH?!!! THEY CAN'T END IT LIKE THAT!!!"
"YEAH!" Al agreed. "WHAT HAPPENED TO GABE AND JONAS?!"
I smiled. "That's for us to figure out."
"Can you tell us another story?!" Ali begged.
I looked at the clock. 7:48... "... Okay... one more... but then you have to sleep. Big day tomorrow!"
"How did you and Papa meet, Maman?" Al asked, his blue eyes inspecting me.
"Well... we were starting the spring term at our high school, Ouran Academy... we were looking for the music classroom, because I was learning piano..."

"And that's how I met your father." I looked to see they were both already asleep. I tucked them in, kissed their foreheads, then left the room. I walked in to see Tamaki walk in, suit and tie, seeming a bit tired from work. I smiled. "Hey Sweetie."
He smiled. "Hello princess." He walked up to me and kissed me softly. I smiled. "Do you want the maids to heat up some dinner for you?"
He nodded. "That sounds fantastic."
I came back to see him sitting on the couch, exhausted. I smiled and walked in, sitting next to him. He then pulled me into his chest and kissed the back of my neck. I blushed deeply. Even though we've been married for year, I still feel embarrassed by his affections.
"So, you were telling the Al 'n' Ali a story?"
I nodded. "Yeah, I finished "The Giver". Then I told them how we met."
"Again?"
"They really like that story, Tamaki."
He nodded. "Okay."
After he ate, we went to bed (hugging one another).

"WAAAAAAAAKE UP!" Ali screeched as our bed suddenly bounced. I woke up instantly to see Ali and Alphonse were bouncing on our bed. "C'MON! WE WANNA SEE SHIMA, MAO, KAITO, AND AYAME!"
I groaned. "Fine... Ali and Al... go get dressed. I'll wake your father." They nodded rapidly.
"Pas de problème! Soyez prêt en une minute, Maman! (No problem! Be ready in a minute, Mom!)" The shot out. I sighed, closed the door and began shaking Tamaki.
"Oi... Tamaki, dear. Get up." He pulled a pillow over his head. "Get dressed." I commanded, as I walked to my dresser, locked the door to our bedroom, and began undressing and pulling on new clothes. One I finished the last button of my button down shirt, I felt Tamaki's arms wrap around my waist.
"You look beautiful, Princess." He cooed.
I turned to see that he was already dressed. I smiled. "You're not so bad yourself, my Prince."
Our kids pounded on the door. "Maman! Papa! Let's gooooooooooo~!"
I opened the door, grabbed our picnic basket, and brought them to the limo. "Okay... let's go!"
