Time Of Your Life(Epilogue)

~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~
There are times in our life when we feels that we cannot make it through. It's human nature. Rei, at the
 moment, felt exactly like that. Standing outside the church entrance, Rei glanced at her brother in black
 tuxedo. He seemed so calm.

She HATED that.

"Oh gosh, I don't know if I can do this", Rei said and looked down at the creamy dress that swelled
 over her well endowed stomach. Nine months and counting, she never felt so swollen in her life.

At the moment optimism seemed from her mind but looking at her brother she could not help but smile. 
Mamoru looked at his beautiful sister holding a bouquet and for once he felt utter contentment.

"You are so beautiful", Mamoru reassured her. "Man, I wish mom was here to see this"  The music
began to play and he held his breath. "Are you ready?"

She turned to him and linked arms. "As ready as I'll ever be" Walking down the aisle she felt the wobble
 as her long, lean legs supported her watermelon body. Everyone was staring at them, Usagi's brothers
 and sister, Mr.Hoshi, colleagues from her work. For a moment she imagined her mother looking from the
 front pew, her eyes shining with joy at the thought of her child growing up.

As they ended their walk, Rei turned to her brother and gave him a kiss. She smiled and looked into his
 eyes lovingly. "You know I've never heard of a someone walking the GROOM down the aisle. This no
 ordinary wedding"

"Well this is no ordinary family", Mamoru replied as he went to his side. Rei quickly made her way to the
bridesmaid side. Mamoru now began to feel those jitters that his sister unbeknowest to him felt a few 
minutes ago. He looked at his daughter sitting with Shingo. Tami was now a year old, with her chin
 length dark hair and bright eyes, she glowed like a pixie. How he loved her.

And that woman walking down the aisle with her brother. Boy did he love her too. Usagi in a off the
 shoulder, pure white wedding gown floated as she was escorted by Yuuichirou. As she came to view
, Mamoru's breath caught and he was frozen by the sight off her.

Their eyes met and she smiled at him. Usagi looked at him and mouthed an "I love you". He in turn did the
 same. They were blest and as they each slipped the rings on each others fingers, they felt a surge of
 happiness.

"I now pronounce you man and wife"

That one sentence brought a smile to everyone's face and as they lips began to meet-

"OW!", Rei gasped. She held her stomach. "Not NOW!!" Usagi took her arm and laughed.

"Honestly Rei, does it always have to be about you?", Usagi joked as she, Yuuichirou and Mamoru led 
her out.

"Does that mean the reception cancled?", Minako asked Ami.

"My Aunt Rei gave birth to my cousin Hana, two hours later", Tamlyn recalled. "I guess I'm using this story
 as a speech because it shows that things are life are going to change. However when it comes up to
 anything, in the end love, happiness, family, friends and optimism is all we have to hold to"

Tamlyn looked at her mother and father. Mamoru and Usagi Chiba looked on proudly. Her mother looked
 as youthful as ever, her silvery blond hair shone as she smiled at her daughter, tears in her eyes. Mamoru
 couldn't believe that his little girl was all grown. Tamlyn, with her shoulder length brown hair but her
 mother's blue eyes stood gracefully at the podium. Her graduation cap and gown of black made her 
look even more mature. Mamoru looked at his wife and she smiled taking his hand. Her other arm
cradled an infant with a tuft of pink hair, which they named Usagi.

"Mamoru, Tamlyn looks so wonderful up there", Rei whispered to her brother as she sat next to him. 
Yuuichirou by her side and Hana now sixteen took pictures of her favorite cousin. Hana looked almost
 identical to Tamlyn except for their eyes, while Tami's were cornflower blue, Hana's were a deep brown 
and her hair was went to her waistline. Rei looked around at her family. All Yuuichirou's brothers and
 sister were there. Now all of them were grown up and living their own lives. Her and Yuuichirou married
 right after the birth of Hana were just as happy as ever. Her brother now much more mature and broad
 shouldered could only nod.

"I congratulate everyone and I would like to thank my parents for letting me tell this story" Tamlyn took a
 deep breath. "Thank you" The crowd errupted into a thunderous applause. The graduation continued
 with the handing of the diplomas. Tamlyn quickly went to join her family. Running into her mother's arms
 she felt a swell of happiness.

"Ohmigosh I was so scared mommy", Tamlyn said and Usagi smiled at her daughter's innocent
 pronounciation.

"But you were so great", Her mother said. "You really were"

"Dad, what did you think?", inquired Tamlyn as she looked up at him.

"Wonderful", He whispered to her and kissed her forehead. A group of girls called out to Tamlyn
 ushering to go along with them. "Go ahead"

"Thanks!", She said and kissed her family. "See you tonight"

"I hope she has the time of her life", Usagi said to him and linked arms with him. "By the way I'm having
 another baby" Mamoru looked at her.

And all he could do was smile.
