I have no planned amount of chapters on this (I will stop at a certain amount though….), and there's no set updates. These are just drabbles that come to my head as they come and go. I only own OCs still.

When it came to family, there were some limits that Ratigan had placed for himself. He even wrote them all down on a list in his study and they were the following;

Try to avoid co-workers/minions families if possible.

Never mention his brothers.

Stay away from Howard Knox when he hasn't had his coffee. Not tea, just coffee.

Only spoil Felicia like a baby.

Needless to say, after almost five years of knowing each other, a twenty-three year old Knox found the said list and things might have not gone so well on one of the topics.

"My Papa ain't bad wivout 'is coffee!"

"Knoxy…" a thirty-four year old Ratigan sighed as he tried to finish up some plans.

"Don't yew 'Knoxy' me! My papa is a sweet, kind, joyful mornin' person!"

Ratigan looked up at the young woman from his desk. The difference between how he looked back then compared to what he would look like later in his forties would be surprising to anyone who hadn't known him. His hair was somewhat longer, and had fuller color in his fur, with some freckles to one's amusement. As for Knoxy, she clearly showed much more emotion on the outside at this younger state, though the beginnings of her monotone expressions was starting to set in. Her own hair was strangely shorter, short enough that if she had bundled some of it up in her hat, she could have passed off as a feminine male.

As Ratigan looked at her, he thought, 'Sweet, kind, joyful morning person. I can think of four things wrong with that sentence when concerning Howard Knox.'

"Knoxy, you fail to realize that aside from you, your father is a very scary person without caffeine or any sort to many people. Including myself," he answered, earning a glare from Knox.

"Lor' luv a duck! As if yer any be'er! Thee act like a squirrel that doesn't 'ave any nuts ter chew on when yew don't 'ave any tea!" she yelled, snarling at him. Ratigan stared at her, taking in what she just said before snickering.

"Wha… what?" he asked, snickering quickly turning into chuckling. "Yew 'eard me!" she yelled, causing the rat to burst out laughing. "What's so funny?!"

It took almost half an hour for Ratigan to stop laughing, and another half an hour for Knox to start the argument again.

Alright, so I went into a long time brain-fart for my current fanfiction and I'm about to go to my grandmother's for the summer. So… yeah.
