This is a new series I'm starting, it's sort of a sequel to Ladylike, but nor really, with (lots!) more fluff and not including the epilogue for the other one. Its set after Lal gave birth to Clove. For those who have not read ladylike, i suggest you read that beforehand. Well, enjoy!

A year. A year has passed since Lal brought Clove into the world. In that year, it has never gotten easier for Lal, who hates being a mother. Sleepless nights, crying child, and early mornings just don't agree with her. She sighed in frustration, wanting to smash something to pieces. She never imagined parenting to be so difficult. In COMSUBIN, she has whipped thousands of recruits into shape. Of course, she always used the standard 'Do or Die' method, and threatening, and beating, and cardio building punishments. She can't exactly use that on a baby when she refuses to eat what Lal stuck into her mouth, and spit it out, gruel dribbling down her chin. Throwing the spoon down in frustration, she turned around and stood up from her chair.

"Colonello, you feed Clove." Lal stormed out of the kitchen as Colonello hurried in.

"Now come on Lal. It can't be that difficult kora. See?" Colonello gently picked up the spoon, as Clove opened her mouth. Lal made a noise between a snort and a choke, and promptly called out

"I'm going to go train." And stormed out of the house. Colonello merely sighed, and kept on feeding Clove.

"you're mother sure has a temper kora." He sighed as scrapes the tiny bowl clean, dropping it in the sink and taking Clove out of her high chair. "Now, daddy's going to get Uncle Reborn to watch you kora. I'm going to out for a while kora. You're mother's in a really in a bad mood..." He carried Clove with one arm and reached for the phone with the other.

After a few minutes...

Lal was bored training by herself. Of course, she came here just to blow off steam, but really, there's nothing much to do with a sand punching bag. As she aimed another jab at the target, she kept on going over in her head why it was so easy for Colonello to take care of Clove. Every time, as long as it was him who was feeding her, or cleaning her, or playing with her, she would always comply. Seriously.

"Lal! Did you miss me kora?" Lal's head turned as a certain blond walked into the training room.

"Colonello! What are you doing here you idiot! Where's Clove?" Lal ceased her punches to the punching bag and instead aimed at Colonello.

"Whoa there kora!" Colonello blocked her punches as she aimed again. "I Left her with Reborn. Besides, I though you would need a sparring buddy kora." Colonello smirked as he dodged Lal's trip.

"Good. I still remember what she did to the other nanny." Lal shuddered as Colonello's kick missed her head.

"She stole one of my rifles and started shooting at random pigeon's right?" Colonello answered as he countered Lal's kicks.

"Hey! Her aim was good. She would make a good sharpshooter someday." Lal defended as she slipped past Colonello's defences. Colonello, stepped back, and hugged her tight around her waist.

"Don't want to encourage her, or she'll end up like you one day kora." He murmured into her ear, as Lal tensed up, ready to slap him, but relaxed into his arms and sighed.

"I'm letting you take advantage of me too much." She sighed as Colonello laughed lightly.

"I don't mind kora." He whispered, as he lightly kissed her on the cheek, nibbling on her ear.

"S-stop that! It tickles." Lal started shuddering and blushing adorably. Colonello let go of Lal, and as if he just remembered something, started looking in his pockets.

"Oh yeah! That reminds me kora!" Colonello whipped out two plane tickets as Lal looked them over curiously.

"What are these for? And why are there only two?" Lal held them in front of her, reading over the date and time. Next Wednesday... what happens next Wednesday?

"It's for our honeymoon kora." Colonello took back the tickets. "Don't tell me you've forgotten? It's the day we first met..." Colonello slung his arm around Lal, who looked away guiltily.

"I-I don't bother remembering such trivial things-ah!" Lal protested as Colonello picked her up, and spun her around, setting her down by the wall and bring her mouth close for a full kiss.

"Trivial kora? You hurt my feelings." Colonello pinned Lal against a wall, kissing down her neck.

"Colonello... you... perverted idiot..." Lal whimpered as Colonello's lips met the sensitive patch of skin at the nape of her neck.

"That hurts my feelings even more. " He pouted. As their lips met, his tongue pleaded for entrance, and being lenient, Lal opened her mouth just a little, wrapping her arms around Colonello's neck. Immediately taking his chance, he darted his tongue into her mouth, exploring his territory, one only he can set foot on. Lal shivered at the touch of his cold fingers at her waist, and moaned, tightening the grip around his neck. What snapped her to her senses were Colonello's fingers, traveling on her skin, up her shirt. Breaking the kiss, she roughly pushed Colonello away from her, blushing and panting.

"Don't Colonello. Now's not the time, and this isn't the place." She said firmly, turning towards the door. Colonello sighed.

"Fine kora. Geez. You're still so uptight." He muttered, as a quick backfist caught him in the neck, leaving him gasping for air.

"Watch it. I was being nice." Lal growled as she exited the training room.

"What's with women and mood swings kora?" Colonello quietly muttered as he hurried after Lal.

Meanwhile, at the house, with Reborn and Clove

"Oh, a rifle I see. So you want to challenge me at sharpshooting?" Reborn smirked, as Clove, on wobbly legs picked up a rife.

When Colonello and Lal got home, they found the front littered with dead pigeons.

Did you guys enjoy that? Yeah... there's a lot of fluff ahahahahahah... lot's more yet to come! Reviews make me a happy person!
