13 Years Later

"Have a lovely day at school kids~"

"Make sure to pay attention in class you three~"

"Okay~"

"We will mommy~"

"See you later dad~"

Suko and I were the last to send our kids off into Redwood Academy.

Xinrei, Xinya, and Nitro hugged us and ran off with the other students, as well as our other kids~.

It's been thirteen years now. Xinrei and Xinya are both twelve, Minkyu is thirteen, and Nitro has been fourteen since last year.

Xinrei's horns are a lot sharper now, and they've grown quite a bit. I learned from the demonic realm that he's exceptionally strong, since he's had his horns from birth. However, his tail doesn't come out unless he goes full demon.

Xinya has beautiful light blue wings, and a dark brown wolf tail and ears. From what the angelic realm has told me, the aura that they felt from her was completely pure. There wasn't a hint of darkness in her whatsoever, and that hasn't changed for years.

Nitro has grown a lot, and we now know what he is. We didn't expect it, but he's definitely a hybrid mix. Not only is he a White Leopard, but he's also has the tail of a Zebra-Tailed Lizard. He's also gotten taller too~.

As for everyone else who's been busy, Jeno, Donghyuck, Jaemin, and Chenle had kids, Chenle's being the most recent~.

Jeno and Serafina had a boy that they named Lee Jeongho. Donghyuck and Jay had a girl that they named Lee Suyun. Jaemin and Aurora also had a girl that they named Na Sungmin. And Chenle and Kou had a boy that they named Zhong Xuefen.

As of right now, Jeongho is twelve like Xinrei and Xinya, since Jeno and Serafina had him not long after they were born. Sungmin and Suyun are both four. And Xuefen is one, and he's also a cat hybrid like Chenle. But instead of being a calico like he is, Xuefen is a black cat.

For the moment, the only Stand users out of all our kids are Jeongho, Xinrei, Xinya, and Nitro.

Jeongho's Stand is called Star Platinum, and it's a close range Stand with incredible speed, strength, and precision. Xinrei's Stand is called Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, and it amplifies his birth ability to hop through dimensions. And Xinya's Stand is called Little Feet, which amplifies her birth ability to shrink any object or person.

At Redwood Academy, Nitro, Xinya, Xinrei, and Jeongho are all in Class 1-A's hero course. Minkyu is in it too, but he's also in Class 1-C's general education course. He doesn't really want to be a hero because he's afraid of getting hurt.

Suyun, Sungmin, and Xuefen are still too young to attend the academy. So for now, we're teaching them from home until they're a little older.

But apart from that, we watched all of them go in before returning home to relax. Suko went back to sleep, and I found the others in the theater room.

We all agreed to meet here this morning to continue watching Jujutsu Kaisen. Jeno found it not too long ago, and we all enjoy watching it.

Apart from the rest of us that came here alone, Chenle had Xuefen sleeping on his chest. We thought it would disturb him if we watch it while he's sleeping, but Chenle reassured us that he doesn't mind noise.

Regardless, we still set it at a moderate level just to be sure. After making sure everything was set, we continued from the last episode where we left off.

"So how's school going for the kids?"

Jaemin asked.

"Minkyu doesn't really favor the hero course, but agreed to stay in it, mainly because he doesn't want to be alone in general education. But despite that, his performance in both classes are very exceptional"

Mark smiled.

"Xinrei, Xinya, and Nitro are doing just fine. However, Xinya has the best performance, while Xinrei has...decent performance. Nitro is in between the two of them, but only because he doesn't want to outrank either of them. For Xinrei, it's not that he doesn't understand what's being taught. It's just that he doesn't seem to care about heroes as much as he used to these days"

I explained.

"Jeongho's performance flip flops at lot, so there's no telling what his true potential is. He just kind of has a nonchalant attitude for just about everything"

"Kind of like how Kun-hyung used to be?"

"Yes! Exactly!"

Donghyuck chuckled at Jeno's sudden agreement to his comparison.

"How are the other kiddos doing?"

Jisung questioned.

"Suyun is doing fine. She's a bit of a tomboy and she's a tad bit wild, but Jay and I think it's cute~"

"Sungmin is the complete opposite of Suyun, and there are times that she seems just a bit too mature for her age. Her only interest as of right now is to make it halfway through her dictionary~"

Jaemin smiled.

"Xuefen can be a hyperactive baby at times, but Kou and I really enjoy playing with him before he eventually tires himself out. There's not really much to say but that~"

Chenle smiled while gently petting Xuefen's head.

"I wish I had a child of my own with Geno. That way, I'd be able to have conversations like this with you guys without feeling singled out. But..., we're just not ready yet, you know?"

Jisung looked really sad that he was the only one without a kid like the rest of us.

But there's nothing wrong with that. At least this way, he'll be able to learn from us a bit before he does have his kid. It won't be completely new to him when it happens.

"Take your time Jisungie. Kou and I weren't ready for a while, but the day will come when you'll just know that you're ready. Your time will come when you won't feel left out in these kinds of conversations"

"You just have to be patient and have fun until then"

Chenle and Jaemin comforted Jisung.

He still seemed worried about how long it might take, but he still let it go.

We continued watching Jujutsu, until we got completely caught up. Now we just have to wait for the new episode to air. Instead of leaving the room, we stayed and talked more for about another hour.

Seeing everyone grow through all of these years has been amazing. It really makes us look back, and compare a lot from then to now.

From being humbled kids who wanted nothing but love, to becoming well known heroes and fathers. Everything has felt like a dream.

"Let's go get something to eat. We've got mouths to feed~"

"Injun-ah... Hearing you say that makes me feel so old..."

"That's because you are old hyung~"

Donghyuck playfully hit Mark, and he put Hyuck into a gentle headlock.

We soon exited the room and made breakfast for everyone. We made sure to feed the other kids before we took them to school. Now, we just need to feed everyone else in the house.

My life has been a lot of ups and downs, but it's been worth it all the way.

But..., without a doubt...

If this had been a dream, it would be the best dream I've ever had.
