Maki's Accidental Addition

Epilogue

"That was an amazing story. Can I hear another one?" a little girl laying on a bed said. She jumped up away from the pillow and pleaded with her mom. "Please, mom."

"Fine but this is the last one. Besides, I have to help your mother in a bit." the girl's mom said back to her. The girl nodded excitedly and snuggled back into the bed. "How should I start? I guess it was our wedding day . . ."

"It needs more roses," Umi shouted to Hanayo. "I don't think black would work for this, but having only red is a bit . . ."

"Maybe some red and pink ones would work?" Kotori told Umi from the spot next to her. She pulled out a rose from a box, the color being pink.

"Yeah, that sounds good. Better hurry though, they're going to be here in a couple of hours," Umi said tying down balloons. The balloons were also red and pink.

"How are the seating arrangements coming, Rin?"

"All done, nya," Rin reported. She gave Umi a clipboard.

"Their families are in the front, good." Umi pulled out another list and checked something off of it. "Is the food all picked out, Honoka?" Umi looked at Honoka. She was on the phone with a list and an annoyed expression. Honoka hung up the phone and sighed.

"They don't have the cake we ordered ready. They said that it was due for tomorrow. I can't believe they got the date wrong. Next time I'm going to tell my parents to make the cake."

"Honoka," Eli walked away from a car, "your parents are here." Eli pointed to the car with Honoka's parents waving to them.

"What are they doing here?" Honoka shouted. She walked over to the car. "What are you guys doing here?"

"We brought a cake," Mrs. Kousaka replied. She and Honoka's father opened the car door and pulled out a wedding cake. "It wasn't easy to make and deliver so be careful with it."

"How are we going to carry this over there?"

"I came to help," a girl who got out of the car said. They rubbed the back of their neck bashfully."I also wanted to see you."

"Tsubasa!" Honoka ran and hugged her.

"Jeez, I didn't think you missed me that much." Tsubasa hugged her girlfriend and kissed the top of her head. They've gotten closer throughout the year. Honoka's dad grunted. Tsubasa let some space in between her and Honoka. "Sorry, Sir."

"We'll have time for more later," Honoka whispered to Tsubasa. Tsubasa blushed and left to help with the cake.

"You have a cake. Thank you so much, Mr. and Mrs. Kousaka, you just helped us by a lot." They put the cake on the round table in between all the food.

"I can't wait," Rin yelled. She then grabbed Hanayo and rubbed her cheek against hers, just like a cat. "Right, Kayo-chin?"

"Y-yeah," Hanayo said blushing. Rin has gotten more touchy with her and they both feel like they've developed feelings for each other. It's pretty awkward with them around.

"So we've got the flowers, balloons, cake, and seating arrangements down. What's next?" Everyone thought and looked around.

"Did you make their outfits Kotori?" Eli asked.

"I made sure to. By the way, how is Nozomi feeling?" Eli sighed.

"She's still in the hospital. She's due soon and I'm really nervous about being a parent."

"I'm sure you'll be a great parent Eli, you just have to be mature," Umi said.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. I think that's everything done now." Eli looked around at their handy work.

"Yeah, I can't wait to see Nico's and Maki's wedding," Honoka excitingly yelled.

Maki stood by the altar with a look of worry. She pulled the collar of her tuxedo and sighed.

"It's alright," Umi said next to her, "don't worry. It's your big day, remember."

"Yeah, yeah, I know." Maki looked down the aisle and gulped. She went through her thoughts as the music started. Everyone in the audience had either a pink or a red rose.

The doors opened making everyone look. Nico walked with Eli by her side. If Nico was nervous, it didn't show on her face. She had a small smile on her face, Eli had on a serious face walking her down the aisle. Rin and Hanayo were behind them being the flower girls. When Nico reached the altar, Eli took her spot behind Nico. Kotori admired her handy work and how amazing both of them looked. Umi shed a tear and quickly wiped it away. She glanced at Kotori hoping that they can get married as well. Tsubasa came out and stood in between Maki and Nico.

"Tsubasa? Why are you doing this?" Maki asked.

"Well, I don't even know but apparently I'm allowed to." Tsubasa shrugged. She cleared her throat. "Do you, Nishikino Maki, take Yazawa Nico to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

"I do."

"And do you, Yazawa Nico, take Nishikino Maki to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poor, in sickness and in death, until death do you part?"

"I do."

Tsubasa turned to Maki. "You may now kiss the bride."

Maki grabbed Nico's sides and planted a passionate kiss on her lips. Everyone threw the roses in their hands up to the air. They all cheered and clapped rushing to the happy couple.

At the end of the day, both Maki and Nico know that they will always love each other.

"Maki!" a voice called from outside of the room.

"See your mother needs help," Maki laughed. "Alright off to bed. Goodnight." Maki tucked her daughter in and kissed her goodnight. She then turned off the lights and left the room.

"Telling more stories?" Nico asked when Maki walked into the living room. Maki sat next to her wife and kissed her on the cheek.

"Well, I want our kid to know more about us." Maki placed her hand on Nico's stomach. "And you can be sure that I'll tell this one stories as well."

"I love you, Maki"

"I love you, Nico."
