I'm sorry I didn't get to post this last night. I came home exhausted and went straight to after rewriting the whole epilogue. I really hope you like it. I wasn't really sure how to end this story so I just wrote what was playing around my mind.

I've changed my pen name. I've been meaning to do that for a while now and decided that now was a good time as I'm ending my first story (Well, actually a trilogy but in my mind it's just one long story)

Thank you all for you all wonderful reviews!

ThaliaElizabethChase - I can't believe it's coming to an end too, but I guess everything should end. I just hope the epilogue is good enough.

percyROCKS123 - Thank you! I hope I've made a good epilogue but I guess I will have to wait to hear (read actually) my readers' opinion.

chica-sabia-nabepi11- Don't worry about writing in Spanish, it's not a problem. And I'm glad you were happy to see the updates. Thanks about the review!

Lady Syndra - Thanks and I hope this is considered soon.

seaweed brain's wise girl - She'll definitely be her daddy's little girl.

TweetyBaby - Thank you! And yes I certainly imagine Apollo would be overprotective.

daughterofak1ng - Thanks! I hope the Epilogue is good enough.

WordsAsStrongAsSwords -Thank you! And don't worry about not getting the review. I'm reading this now, ain't I? :) I'm glad you like the name and domains. I had hard time thinking them up.

TimeLordLady - What can I say, I'm a they-lived-happily-ever-after fan.

So, this is it! The last chapter. The epilogue. I can't believe it!

Epilogue

The Things That Are Worth Living For

"Mommy! Daddy! Wake up!" A giggling voice was the first that Percy and Apollo heard in the morning.

"Kali, what time is it?" The sun god groaned as his hyper six years old jumped on his chest. He opened his eyes to see Kaliope's face hover over him, splitted by a radiant smile that seemed to lighten up the whole room. Her sea-green eyes sparkled with excitement and Apollo couldn't hold back his own smile.

"Come on, Daddy, get up, it's my birthday!" And indeed it was. Six wonderful years had passed since that joyfull day Kalliope had been born. Six years filled with both joy and worries, but happier than any Percy and Apollo had live before. However, raising a kid was not an easy feat, they learned quickly. Raising a godly child, though, was much harder.

Once, when she had been upset, a three years old Kaliope had involuntary flashed herself away, leaving her scared parents to search the whole afternoon until they finally found her, playing with Hestia by the hearth.

"Is it?" Apollo asked, trying to appear surprised, winking at Percy over his daughter's shoulder. "I seem to have forgotten about it."

"Daddy!" Kaliope whinned, bringing her lower lip forward in a pout, her eyes growing wide in a very successful puppy-dog expression, that no one could resist (And yes, it worked even on Zeus). The sun god laughed and turned them over so she was half lying on her mother as he tickled her sides. Kalliope laughed loudly trying to hide in Percy's arms. "Mommy, tell him to stop!" She cried out, tears of laughter streaming down her cheeks. Finally, Apollo pulled his hands away and Percy used the moment to lean down to whisper something in Kali's year. The child's eyes widened and a wide grin appeared on her face as both she and her mother jumped on the sun god, surprising him. They wrestled on the bed for a while, before ending it with a victory for the girls, who shared pleased smiles at their triumph.

"Happy birthday, darling!" Percy said, leaning in to kiss Kaliope's head, before quickly standing up. "Come on, let's get you in the bath before the others arrive."

Every year, they threw a huge party for Kalliope's birthday. All the gods were invited, as well as some of Percy's old friends and of course, Paul and Sally. Zeus had agreed to bend the rules slightly so Percy's mortal family was allowed access to Olympus once in a while. Of course, it wasn't easy to convince the King of the gods that the two mortals were not a threat to Olympus, but once Kalliope had put her pleading expression in work, Zeus quickly caved. Apparently he coudn't withstand her puppy dog eyes as well.

The same puppy dog eyes Percy was facing at the moment.

"Mommy, can I please wear the blue dress?"

Percy just groaned in answer, turning to look at her daughter's walk in closet. Aphrodite had taken it upon herself to make sure that Kalliope had the most fashionable clothes available, and while Percy liked clothes like every normal female, this was just too much. Hundreds of dresses, skirts, blouses and any other piece of clothing you can imagine were carefully hung on the walls of the huge closet. Sighing, Percy started searching the blue dress her daughter wanted, trying not to think what this place would look like once Kaliope grew up.

Finally, after an hour or so, Kalliope was finally dressed, her blond curls bouncing as she twirled in front of the mirror, enjoying the way her dress shimmered under the light.

"How do I look?" She asked her mother, who stood behind her smiling, already wearing a green dress herself.

"You look like a princess, sweetie."

Kalliope looked over her mother. "I want to be as beautiful as you when I grow up." She admitted shyly and Percy gave a soft smile, picking her up.

"You are already more beautiful than me, baby."

A sudden smell of sea water reached both their nostrils and they shared wide smiles, before Kalliope bolted from her mother's arms and towards the living room. "Grandpa Poseidon!" She shrieked, throwing herself at him. The sea god laughed and picked her up easily.

"Ah, there is my birthday girl!" He exclaimed, flicking her nose slightly. "Look at you, you look so grown up!"

Kalliope pouted. "It's not true, grandpa, I look the same."

"Don't look so sad, Princess, I brought you a gift."

The girl's eyes immediately lit up with excitement. "Can I see it!"

Poseidon frowned, rebuilding his features in a thoughtful expression, but Percy knew that that he was just as excited as his granddaughter.

"I think it won't be a problem." He said slowly, teasing her with his reluctance.

Kali bounced in his arms with happiness. "Where is it? Where is it?"

Percy and Apollo followed Poseidon and their daughter outside, both curious of the gift.

"A Pegasus!" Kalliope gasped as she saw her birthday present, giving her granddad a stunning smile. "Thank you so much!"

"That's Pearl. She is all yours." Poseidon laughed, releasing the child so she could rush to meet her new pet. Percy walked forward to give her dad a hug, moving to stand by him as they all watched the scene.

"Dad, do you think it's wise to give her a pegasus?" The goddess asked a bit worriedly but Poseidon just waved it off.

"Pearl is just a colt. Nothing bad will happen."

The gods started arriving one by one and Poseidon went to greet Athena, whom he started dating an year ago and despite their constant fights, they made a surprisingly good couple.

Percy sighed in content as Apollo's arms circled around her, bringing her closer to him. They watched Kalliope shriek with laughter as the young pegasus nudged her gently.

Their child's happiness, Percy realized, was the greatest give one could have. There was nothing more she could wish for, other than what she had right there. Her family. And despite all she had been through to get to the place she stood now, she knew she would never want to change it because after all, it was worth it.

During her whole life she had blamed the Fates for the bad things that had happened to her but now she realized just how unpredictable fate really was. It had its own ways of spinning the world and no one, even the gods could change it. But if you really want to be happy you must do anything in you power to earn that happiness yourself. You must find your way through the sorrow, see the sunlight in the darkness. And then, only when you have seen sadness, you could recognize the true happiness and find the things that are worth fighting for. The things that are worth living for.

THE END

So this is it, it's over. The last installment of The Kisses of the Sun is finished and I must admit I cried a little as I wrote the epilogue. It has been amazing two years and a half, filled with both joy and sorrow, which I all poured in this story. I'm going to miss writting this but everything must come to an end, no matter how much I hate endings.

I remember the right moment I started writing The Kisses of the Sun not even suspecting that it will have not one, but two sequels. This trilogy is my baby and in every chapter I've poured a little of myself and I can't believe its finished.

But most of all, I want to THANK all those who have reviewed, favorited and followed The Kisses of the Sun, Just a Dream and All That I'm Living For. You won't believe how much your support means to me. Without it I probably would have given up on this story long time ago.

SO THANK YOU! I love you guys!
