Epilogue
3rd Person Pov.
A little girl with black, smooth hair and sea green eyes ran through the park, laughing joyfully as her brother waddled after her.
"Sissy, wait fow me!" The little boy yelled gleefully, emerald eyes sparkling in the sunlight and his red hair poking up in every direction. His older sister stopped running and turned around to face him.
"Hey! Let's play tag! You're it!" The 7 year old said, touching her 4 year old brother on the shoulder.
"That's not faiw!" The little boy screamed, "Daddy! Help me catch Bia."
A man stood from a bench nearby, "Okay Luke, hold your arms out." The man said. The boy, now named Luke, followed the order and spread his arms out. The man lifted the boy up and set him upon his shoulders.
"Go daddy, we've gotta catch hew!" Luke shrieked.
The little girl ran as fast as she could to her mom, who was sitting on the bench still.
"Mom, pick me up! I can't be caught." The girl said, jumping up and down with limitless energy.
"Okay Bianca, but be careful and hold on tight." The woman ordered. The woman knelt down with a little difficulty, having a slight bump in her stomach signaling pregnancy. Bianca ran around and jumped on her mom's back.
"Go! We've gotta go mom!" Bianca yelled.
The man had caught up to them while the woman was helping the girl up.
"Tag. You're it." The man said, a massive smirk on his face.
"Oh, it's on." The woman replied.
The game went on for a while, shrieks echoing through the empty park everytime their team was tagged. After a while both teams got tired and sat down to rest.
"I win."
"No I win."
"NO, I WIN!" The man yelled, striking a pose in a heroic fashion. The woman just sighed, stood, and pinched a nerve on the man's neck, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Owwww. This always happens, you take all the fun away." The man groaned from the ground.
The kids just laughed hysterically from where they were sitting, childish laughter making both parents smile. The mom just laughed and sat down next to the kids.
"You're just jealous that I can make Luke and Bianca laugh at your pain." The woman smirked.
The man stood up in a flash, the air rushing at how fast he stood up. He then leaned down and picked up his wife, carrying her bridal style. The woman yelled, "Put me down this instant!" The man just laughed along with his kids and swung her around.
"Ok, put me down." The woman said, a scary grin on her face.
The man grew extremely scared at this and quickly set her down. The woman quickly rushed forward and pinched a nerve on the man's neck. He fell to the ground with a thud, the woman sitting ontop of him and forcing him to stay on the ground.
"Get him!" The woman said to her kids. Bia and Luke immediately knew what to do and started tickling their father mercilessly. Laughter echoed through the air and tears filled the man's eyes.
"No! Please, hahahahaha, stop. I can't breathe! Hahahahahaha!" The man laughed.
The woman just ignored him and continued holding him down, the children still tickling him.
"Alright, it's time to go home now." The woman said.
"Awww, but I don't wanna." Luke whined, "I'm not even...Aaahhhh...Tired, mommy."
The woman just smiled and scooped up the 4 year old and settled him on her hip. The man followed by holding their daughter's hand and walking back to the car.
After buckling in the children, Luke in his car seat, they started to make the short drive home. The man smiled as he glanced in the rear view mirror and saw his children cuddling in the back seat of the car. The drive home was quick, despite the fact that it was only 7:00, the kids had exausted themselves from running around.
They pulled into the garage of the very famous tower, Avengers Tower, and each parent carried a child to the conjoined family floor. Once the children were tucked in and comfortable, the man walked up to his wife.
"This is so different." The man said.
"What is?" The woman replied.
"Having kids, being a normal family. Sure, it's been this way for seven years, but I feel like it's just sinking in."
"Percy." The woman started, only to be cut off.
"Just think, if I hadn't been falsely accused all those years ago, I wouldn't be here with you." Percy finished, "Natasha Romanoff, I love you. Even more then words could ever express. You are the stars to my sky, the Sun to my Moon. You are my everything."
Natasha's eyes glistened with tears, despite knowing that Percy loved her, hearing it made it that much more real. She kissed him.
And even though a demi god's life will never be easy, gods, he knew that. Maybe, just maybe. He could have some of that to himself.
And all was right in the world. If only for a few moments.
That was the epilogue. Fluff everywhere, and this was the final update to this story. The chapter wasn't long, but I only recently thought of something to write about. Yay!
