Epilogue

A year has passed since the passing of Cody's father and the engagement of Noah and Cody. It had been hard for Cody since the death of his father and all. But, on the day both he and Noah got married (legally by a judge and all; Noah didn't want a fancy wedding anyway for he knew his sisters were going to make a big deal out of it, which they still did anyway) he was able to enjoy himself. He knew his father would be happy to know what joy he felt on that day.

They were now newly weds and they were happier than ever. Nothing would change their world this time. No, not even a cute little toddler banging his hands on a sensitive keyboard…

Noah glared at his little nephew and carried him away from the computer.

"How many times do I have to say this? Don't touch the computer."

The little toddler merely squealed and squirmed his way out of Noah's hold. Another toddler was holding hands with Cody as he took the little girl into the living room. The little boy toddler ran up to Cody and clutch on to his leg. Cody lightly smiled at this and laughed when the little boy stuck his tongue out at Noah. Noah glared at his little nephew and stuck his own tongue out back at him.

"Noah, don't be mean to your nephew." Cody said teasingly.

Noah grumbled, still glaring at his nephew.

"He started it…" Noah said.

Cody rolled his eyes, but smiled. Both toddlers, twins really, tugged on Cody's clothing and asked for something to eat in the language of three-year olds. Cody cooed at the children and helped them sit on the chairs in the dining room.

"Noah, help me get the sandwiches, please?" Cody called out, going into the kitchen.

Noah walked to the kitchen, before blowing a raspberry at his nephew. His niece giggled as his nephew glared and blew one back. He saw Cody grabbing some sandwiches from the fridge and he smiled. Walking up to him, he hugged him from behind. Cody giggled and wiggled in Noah's hold.

"Noah, what are you doing?" he asked.

"You know…," Noah whispered in Cody's ear, "If the kids weren't here, we could be doing…" And Noah continued whispering in Cody's ear in a more hush tone.

Cody blushed hard and squirmed his way out of Noah's hold. He lightly glared at Noah, still blushing.

"You're such a pervert!" he whispered.

Noah smirked at Cody and shrugged. "You know it's true, though. If they weren't here."

"Oh, be nice. They're your family. Besides, your brother will be here soon to pick them up." Cody said.

Noah frowned at that and grumbled again. "I can't believe he just dumped his kids on us when we got seven other siblings he could leave his kids with."

"I don't mind. I love the twins. They're so cute." Cody said, smiling.

"They're evil." Noah said, frowning still.

Cody rolled his eyes again, but placed a kiss on Noah's cheek. He walked back to the dining room and served the sandwiches to the toddler twins.

For the past hour, Noah had to keep his nephew away from the computer while his niece was playing with his collection of novels. Keeping two small children was tough for Noah, who had little patience with dealing with children anyway. Cody though just turns the TV on and flipped it to a children program. The twins stopped what they were doing and sat down in front of the TV. Noah sighed as he picked up his novels from the floor and Cody helped him, smiling.

"Evil little brats…" Noah mumbled.

"Be nice…" Cody mumbled back.

A little later, Cody was helping the twins put on their coats and hats. Noah stood by the door, tapping his fingers on the doorknob. The niece was happily blabbing about something while the nephew was trying to tell Noah a story about what happened at the park.

"Where the hell is Connor?" Noah mumbled.

"Noah, watch your mouth." Cody mumbled back, tying the niece's shoes.

"Sorry. It's just he's late." Noah said, glancing at his watch.

"He'll be here any second. Don't worry." Cody said.

The doorbell suddenly rang and Noah quickly opened the door. Two older males stood by the doorway, both having small similar features of Noah. The much older one grinned at the twins and opened his arms.

"Kids!" he said.

"Daddy!" yelled the twins and hugged him tight.

"You're late, Connor." Noah said, frowning at his oldest brother who was hugging his children.

"Don't be such a tight-wad, Noah." Connor said, picking up the twins.

"Brody, what are you doing here?" Cody asked.

The second older male blinked and grinned at Cody, his scruffy messy hair sticking out a bit as he scratched the back of his head.

"I met up with Connor and wanted to tag along. I don't get to visit Uncle Noah and Aunt Cody that much anyway!" he said, smirking in a way.

Cody lightly blushed and Noah glared at his brother. Connor rolled his eyes at Brody and turned to Noah and Cody.

"Hey, thanks for babysitting. I had so much work to do at the hospital and the wife was held back in her work."

Cody smiled and waved his hand. "It was no trouble at all. The kids are such angels!"

"Angels, my ass…" Noah grumbled. Cody laughed and nudged Noah to keep quiet.

Connor laughed. "Anyway, thank you very much. I'm gonna take these little guys home now. I'll call you guys sometime later."

"Ok, Connor." Noah said.

Cody smiled at the twins and said goodbye to them. The twins happily bid goodbye to Cody and stuck their tongues out at Noah, blowing loud raspberries.

Noah glared at his niece and nephew as they giggled. Connor shrugged at his youngest brother and headed out the door. Brody laughed at Noah, shaking his head.

"I can see you're not the favorite uncle, Noah." Brody said, still chuckling.

"Shut up, Brody. Shouldn't you be somewhere half-way across the world?" Noah snapped, glaring.

"…HEY! And, I'm not going anywhere until a week from now." Brody said, glaring.

"Oh, where are you going this time?" Cody asked.

Brody grinned and said, "Australia! We're gonna do a photo shoot there for a couple of months. Guess I won't see you guys in a long time."

"Wow that sounds so cool. I hope you have fun, Brody" Cody said, smiling.

"Don't worry, I will! I'll send you guys a souvenir!" Brody said, giving Cody the thumbs-up.

"Please don't let it be something weird like last time." Noah said, a cigarette already in his mouth and lit.

"What? You guys didn't like the shrunken heads I sent you last time?" Brody asked.

"O-Oh! No, it's ok Brody! We did like them!" Cody said, smiling nervously.

Brody raised a brow at Cody, but grinned anyway. "Ok, if you say so."

Brody checked his watch for a moment. "Aw, got to go. Promised some of the guys I meet up with them to talk about the trip." He waved bye and said, "Later, Mr. and Mrs. Dasari!"

Cody blushed again and Noah growled at his brother and slammed the door at his face when he walked out. Noah puffed out some smoke and sighed. Cody laughed and went to the living room to tidy up. Noah glanced at Cody and smirked. He took the cigarette out of his mouth and carefully placed it in his ashtray. He slowly walked up to Cody as Cody was bending over the couch to fix the cushions. He wrapped his arms around Cody's waist and placed his lips over Cody's ear. Cody lightly gasped and blushed when Noah began lightly brushing his lips on his ear.

"Noah…" Cody whined, closing his eyes.

"We have the whole apartment to ourselves again…" Noah whispered in Cody's ear.

Cody lightly shivered when he felt Noah's hands slowly going under his shirt. Noah chuckled and began kissing Cody's neck soft and gently.

"N-Noah…I h-have to clean up t-the l-living r-room…" Cody said, moaning a bit.

"You can do that later." Noah mumbled on Cody's neck.

Cody whined, blushing hard. He opened one of his eyes and saw a little doll staring at him and Noah. He gasped and tore himself away from Noah. Noah blinked, confused on why Cody did that. Cody picked up the doll and showed it to Noah.

"Your niece forgot her dolly!" he said.

"Wait, you stopped me almost getting you into the bedroom because my niece for her…dolly?" Noah said, lifting a brow.

"Yeah. Only because she really loves this toy! I better call Connor and tell him. She won't sleep without it." Cody said and went to the telephone.

Noah sighed deeply, feeling extremely depressed. He went back to ashtray to get his cigarette and took in a long drag. Cody hung up the phone, the doll still in his arms.

"Well, Connor didn't pick up, but I left a message." He told Noah.

"Splendid. I'm so glad because I was so worried." Noah said sarcastically, taking another drag.

Cody frowned at Noah. "Don't use that tone with me. I know your niece will throw a fit when she can't find her doll."

"Why do you care? She's not your kid." Noah said, frowning himself.

"I know that. But, you never know. Maybe one day you and I will have a ki-"

Cody stopped himself, blushing. Noah looked at Cody, his eyes a bit widen.

"What? You want a kid?" Noah asked.

Cody blushed harder and stammered out, "W-Well, I don't k-know. Maybe?"

"So, what you're telling me is that you're thinking of you and me adopting some random child. Is that what you're thinking, Cody?" Noah asked.

Cody shrugged, still blushing. "It's a nice thought." He said.

"It's a bad thought. Stop thinking." Noah said.

"Oh, don't be like that, Noah! Don't you want a son or daughter of your own too?" Cody asked.

Noah opened his mouth to answer the question when he realized he didn't have one. So, he just took another drag of his cigarette and shrugged himself. Cody smiled at him and gently brushed Noah's hair away from his eyes.

"Could we at least think about it? Please?" Cody asked.

Noah sighed, knowing he's losing this battle.

"Alright, fine. We can think about it." He said.

Cody smiled and kissed Noah. He placed the little doll on the couch and went to the bedroom. He stuck his head out and said,

"Well? What are you waiting for? Aren't we going to continue where we left off?"

Noah blinked and than smirked. He quickly put his cigarette out and rushed to the bedroom, taking off his shirt while doing so. Cody giggled as Noah began kissing him and closing the bedroom door behind them.

Little did they know, somewhere in southern parts of India, a little girl was sitting on the steps of the orphanage, counting the passing flower petals in the wind in Hindi while the older children were busy playing soccer. When she finished counting the flower petals, she looked up at the blue sky and smiled.

The End.
