1.Paddy Cake
Roxas has decided in one of those spur of the moment type things that he was going to clean his desk, which sounded like a fantastic idea until he was knee deep in paper.
"How did my desk get this messy?" Roxas exclaimed falling back into the large pile causing a piece of paper with rushed writing scribbled across it to fly into the air and land on his face. Roxas picked up the piece of paper and stared at it.
"What's this?" He asked himself studying it carefully. Then laughed as he remembered what it was.
***
Roxas was huddled over a piece of paper scribbling furiously.
"Hey Roxas, what're you writing?" Demyx asked trying to look over Roxas's shoulder; well he was before Roxas summoned his keyblade and pointed it at Demyx. "Whoa, whoa, okay, okay I'm leaving"
Roxas re-read what he had written, before correcting a spelling error and adding one more thing to the list. Perfect.
Axel read the list of things Roxas had written down; it didn't really make sense to him.
"So… you're going to write a story with these things in it?" Axel asked, taking a swing in the dark. Roxas looked at him strangely; he thought it made perfect sense.
"This," he said pointing to the list "Is a list of things we have to do once the baby is born"
Axel stared at the teen, then at the list, then at Roxas again.
"… Have you noticed how a majority of these things require going near water?"
Roxas looked at the list, then laughed and walked off leaving Axel staring worriedly at the list
***
"Axel!" Roxas yelled scrambling out of his room going to find the red head.
Axel was sitting in the nursery playing peek-a-boo with Xion who would giggle uncontrollably every time Axel 'found' her. Roxas stood in the doorway smiling, she was so cute.
"Axel, guess what I just found!" He said waving the list in the air.
Axel and Xion both looked at Roxas strangely.
"Do you remember the list I wrote last year when I was pregnant with Xion?" Roxas asked walking over to cuddle the toddler. Axel's eyes went wide, he remembered, he also remembered hiding it at the bottom of the pile on Roxas's desk.
"Yeah I found it when I was cleaning my desk! I can't believe I forgot about it!" Roxas exclaimed tossing Xion into the air and catching her again.
"Y-you cleaned your desk?" Axel asked, stunned.
"Yeah, I couldn't see out the window, I missed my view of nothing" Roxas replied whilst Xion was poking his face. Roxas laughed then handed the toddler to Axel. "A few of these things we've already done, but I've crossed them off already, I think we should start with number 1!" the teen said looking at the list.
"What's number 1?" Axel asked as Xion started chewing on the ends of his hair.
"Well it's-"
"Did someone say my name?" Xemnas asked poking his head into the nursery.
Xion giggled and gestured that she wanted to get a hug from 'grandpa Xemy'. One of Axel's preferred nick names for his superior now. Axel handed Xemnas the toddler who squealed in delight. She had taken a real liking to Xemnas; Axel was almost certain Xemnas had been giving her candy when Roxas wasn't looking.
"No, actually we were just discussing this list I found in my room" Roxas said gesturing to the list
"Oh, that's cool- Hey! Xi-xi, don't pull grandpa's hair!" Xemnas exclaimed trying to hand the toddler back to Axel.
"Xi-xi I'll read you a story if you let go of grandpa's hair" Axel said tenderly, gaining acceptance from the toddler who let go of Xemnas's now disheveled hair. Xemnas turned and left the room trying to comb his hair with his fingers.
"Anyway, as I was saying, Number 1 is teaching Xion a nursery rhyme" Roxas exclaimed, excitement glinting in his eyes.
Axel glanced at the toddler then at Roxas "But I don't know any nursery rhymes"
Roxas contemplated this for a moment before walking over to the bookshelf and pulling out a book "I think that's what this is for" the teen said showing Axel the book, gaining an excited giggle from Xion.
"Has she said anything yet?" Roxas asked glancing at his daughter.
"Not yet, just a lot of gibberish and laughing, though she did start clapping earlier" Axel said, ruffling Xion's hair. The toddler had a mop of jet black hair which had confused the entire organization.
***
"Hey, has anyone noticed that Xion has black hair?" Zexion asked the rest of the organization at dinner.
The entire table turned to look at Xion who was splashing her hands into her dinner.
"Yeah, actually I was wondering about that, I mean shouldn't she have like… red hair, or blonde hair, or even brown hair?" Luxord asked stroking his beard.
"Hmm" Zexion said "Maybe Kingdom Hearts just didn't like the idea of a Xion with blonde hair"
"That is the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard Zexy" Demyx said, scoffing at how preposterous it was.
***
Xion was 12 months old and she still hadn't said a word, all she said was gibberish that only Demyx really understood. Axel was constantly trying to teach her to say words but she just wouldn't say anything.
"Paddy cake, Paddy cake, baker's man, Bake me a cake as fast as you can; Roll it, pat it, mark it with a B, Put it in the oven for baby and me" Axel and Roxas chanted in unison as Xion giggled uncontrollably clapping her hands along with them.
Axel and Roxas stopped chanting, "Go on Xion, Paddy cake!" Roxas exclaimed smiling at the toddler, who was constantly making him want to pick her up and cuddle her. Xion began clapping out of time and saying the words in complete gibberish but in the right sort of tune.
Axel looked at Roxas who looked like he was about to cry he was so proud.
"Woah, Roxy calm down."
"She's so cute!" He exclaimed picking her up and tossing her into the air.
"Sometimes I really wonder what goes on in that kids mind" Axel said to himself before seeing something out of the corner of his eye "The list!" Axel looked at what was next on the list. "What the hell is rollerblading?"
