A/N: Hey! First all I'd like to thank you for taking your time to read this. It is my sequel to "We're Having a Baby". Hope you enjoy it!

Prologue

She was the apple of their eye; a little girl full of warmth and sunshine. Sugar and spice and everything nice, just like little girls should be. Shuichi smiled as he watched his daughter, Ichigo sitting on her tou-san's lap while he typed.

Why is it that he's more lenient with Ichigo than he EVER was with me?

"Baka... Are you just going to stand there, watching all goggle-eyed?"

The vocalist started. "So when did you know I was here...?"

"Ten minutes ago..." His fingers continued to peck at the keys.

The pink-haired man smiled.

"Here, come take her since your home..." Tap, tap, tap.

"She hasn't been any trouble has she, Yuki?"

"Not much, no." He stopped typing and turned to his lover. "I'm telling you, my editor loves her. I told her if she loved her so much she could have her." "Yuki!" "I was only kidding... This is my kid...." He put a callused hand to the strawberry-blonde head. "I always said she had my looks..." "Just as long as the beautiful thing doesn't have your attitude... We all know how I feel about that."

Ichigo didn't pay attention to either of them, she was too fixated with ruining her tou-san's novel. Shuichi snickered. "What!?" Yuki looked perplexed. "I hope your readers like strange cryptic words..." "Huh?" He gestured towards the laptop. The novelist turned and looked in horror at the gibberish filling the screen. "Ahhh..." He growled. Their daughter looked up startled. "Ichigo," He picked her off his lap. "Why don't you go get a snack with okaa-chan, okay?" The four year old put a thumb in her mouth. "Kay!" "Come here, Ichigo...." Her okaa-chan murmured and crouched down to receive his little girl. "Okaa-chan!" The strawberry-blonde squealed, throwing herself into Shuichi's embrace.

"Let's go find you a yummy snack, kay, Ichi..."

She nodded, thumb still in her mouth.

"And no pocky sticks like last time..." Yuki said stonily.

"Yuuukiii..."

"I said, no! The kid was bouncing off the wall, she was so hyper. No sugar, Shuichi!"

"As you wish, Yuki-sama....." He bowed mockingly, Ichigo in his arms.

Shuichi walked through the apartment and entered the kitchen, searching for something suitable and nutritious for their daughter to eat. "Let's see what we have. Kay, Ichi-honey?" "Kay?"

After much searching, he finally found some shortbread cookies. Not exactly healthy but a snack nonetheless. Since when did he listen to Yuki anyway; this was his kid too. He opened the box and gave her cookie. "Here you go, Ichi-honey..." "Tank ooo, Okaa-chan..." She murmured, cramming the delectable treat in her mouth.

Shuichi smiled at their daughter, sitting down at one of the kitchen chairs. He watched her devour the treat. His thoughts drifted back to the day he learned he'd conceived her; it had been a mystery. Then the proudest and most happiest day of the young rock star's life... Ichigo's birth. His daughter was joy to his life; a bright light he hoped would never diminish...

Still... He shuddered when he thought about her teenage years..

"May you always stay as sweet as you are, Ichi-honey...."
