AN1: I was thinking this one up when I was writing up a Dreamvaders chapter. I was kind of annoyed with the fact that I had to make Mirai Trunks act like he did with Emily and the kids so I'm sort of getting him back… Anyway, supposed to be humour, I enjoyed writing this; hope you guys enjoy reading it. On with the story!!!
Chichi hummed away in the kitchen as she prepared for the school rush. Since her eldest two children both worked full time now, she had agreed to look after the four grandchildren until they returned home. Mainly the fact that three out of four of them were demi saiyans meaning that she was in for some fun.
She sighed as she heard her husband approach the house. The eldest of the four grandchildren were six-year-old twins Jake and Alex, who belonged to her adopted daughter Emily and her husband Mirai Trunks. Both the spit of their parents, Alex had her fathers lavender hair whilst Jake sported his mother's blonde hair.
Next were four-year-old Pan - who belonged to her eldest son Gohan and his wife Videl - and finally two-year-old Daisy, Emily and Mirai Trunks's youngest daughter, who was also proving to be quite a handful. She sported her mothers blonde hair with two lavender highlights running either side of her scalp.
"So did you three have fun in school today?" She could hear Goku ask, she smiled as she heard the doorknob turning.
"Yeah, I drew a picture of me, my mom and my dad." Pan chirped as the three entered the house.
"Our day was ok too Grandpa Goku." Alex sighed.
"Except Alex had another fight." Jake laughed.
"Grr, shut up Jake, it was only because Becky pulled my hair!" Alex yelled, glaring at her twin now as Chichi made her way out to greet them.
"So you pushed her down the stairs?" Jake asked raising an eyebrow.
"What?" Goku and Chichi cried staring at her. Alex just blushed and looked down. Ever since she could walk and talk, Alex had shown her mothers fighting spirit by being determined to be as good as her male family members, both twins already mastering the art of being a super saiyan.
"It was only one step; she didn't hurt herself too badly. She never came near me again and I'm sure mom and dad would want me sticking up for myself. It's more than what you did." She snapped.
"Well I don't think pushing someone down a step is self-defence Alex. Your parents are going to flip when they hear about this." Goku sighed. A couple of hours later Mirai Trunks arrived home before his wife and collected his children from his in-laws.
"How were they?" He asked as Goku passed Daisy to him, who automatically reached for his tie. Adjusting his grip so that she couldn't grab anything he turned back to his father in law.
"They were great, apparently Alex pushed someone down a step but at the house they were fine. The twins have done their homework and they've just been sparring since." Goku replied.
"Again? Great, I'm sure Emily would love to hear about this. Well thanks a lot Goku. Thanks Chichi. Jake? Alex? Time to go home!" He yelled as two blurs came zooming down the stairs and halted before their father, smirking at him.
"Hi dad." They chorused in unison.
"Hey you two, come on time to go. What do you say?" He asked.
"Thanks grandpa Goku. Thanks grandma Chichi." They said, again in unison causing Goku to laugh.
"How is it they do that?" He asked.
"Emily said something about the fact that their brains think along the same lines, they've even shown signs of telepathy. Oh well, thanks again Goku, see you soon." Mirai Trunks replied leaving the Son household. Two and a half hours later he heard his wife's car pull up in the driveway then suddenly she hurried into the house.
"Trunks? I'm so sorry; I didn't mean to be this late. I know I was supposed to make dinner tonight!" Emily cried dropping her briefcase into the hallway, Mirai Trunks smiled and pulled her into a reassuring kiss.
"Hey, don't worry about it. I know how busy offices can get last thing at night. People annoyingly decide that's when they want to do everything." He replied. Out of the living room, Daisy came crawling out at the sight of her mother, grinning and picking up pace.
"Mommy!" She yelled.
"Hey Daisy, have you been good for your dad and grandparents?" Emily asked scooping her daughter up, Daisy just nodded as she flung her arms around her mothers neck.
"She's been no problem, actually the twins have been good too, except I heard Alex has been fighting again at school." Mirai Trunks replied.
"Again? Doesn't she realise how much trouble that can get her into?" Emily groaned, trying to put Daisy on the floor with great difficulty as the tot refused to let go, and Mirai Trunks ended up pulling her off.
"Apparently not." He sighed, shortly later, the family of five set down to dinner. Jake and Alex as usual, fighting over who was having what.
"I have an announcement to make." Emily started, but got cut in.
"If it's about me fighting mom, I really will stop. It's just this one girl Becky, she thinks she can boss me around and I can't let her do that can I?" Alex blurted out, Emily stared at her daughter.
"Uh actually I was going to say I got a promotion." She said.
"You did? Congratulations sweetheart!" Mirai Trunks cried.
"Thanks honey. What's this about you fighting?" Emily replied, keeping her gaze fixed on Alex who had now shrunk back after hearing what her mother actually had to say.
"I will stop mom, but she won't leave me alone." Alex mumbled.
"Who won't?" Mirai Trunks asked frowning at her now.
"Becky, she keeps trying to boss me about." She replied.
"Well ignore her: you can't fight at school. If things don't improve I'll ring the school." Emily said firmly.
"Ok." Alex sighed. Smiling, Emily turned back to her husband.
"There's actually a catch to this promotion honey. I'm Martin's new Personal Assistant, he has to go away for a business trip and I have to assist him." She said. Mirai Trunks nodded at this.
"So where are you going?" He asked.
"It's from Friday to Monday. We'll be going to New York." Emily replied and Mirai Trunks nodded again.
"Ok, when are you going? This weekend?" He asked.
"Yeah, will you be all right with the kids all by yourself?" She asked, not noticing the evil smirks the twins were now wearing as they listened in on their parent's conversation. Daisy on the other hand was busy throwing dinner everywhere, so she wasn't listening.
"I'll be fine. Besides I have your dad and Gohan to be on hand. Daisy honey, your supposed to eat that, not throw it." Mirai Trunks sighed, jumping up. Emily spun around just in time to see a spoonful of baby food get thrown into the twins faces, they both glared at their little sister.
"Hey!" They both yelled in unison as they began throwing food at her. Daisy just began laughing and decided to catapult more spoonfuls of baby food at them starting a huge food fight.
"Stop it now! Pack it in you two!" Emily yelled, Mirai Trunks lifted Daisy out of her highchair whilst Emily grabbed the twins by their arms and dragged them to the kitchen door.
"Jake? Alex? Bath and bed now!" Mirai Trunks said firmly as he began pouring warm water into the sink. The twins pouted and stormed up the stairs whilst Daisy burst into tears.
"Are you sure you'll be alright with the kids?" Emily asked, smirking as she started clearing up the table.
"I might be needing Gohan and your dad more than I thought." Mirai Trunks laughed, as he began undressing Daisy and dipping her into the sink. Emily smiled as she threw a handful of food into the bin.
"Alright, I'll ask my parents tomorrow." She replied.
The next day Goku and Chichi had planned out another day with the grandchildren, and to their surprise, it was Emily who picked them up.
"Hey Emily! Nice surprise. Did you get off work early?" Goku asked, letting his daughter in. she could hear Daisy crying and yells upstairs.
"Yeah, I came to ask you and mom something. What's everyone doing? It sounds like our house on a Saturday." Emily commented, before Goku could say anything, Daisy came running in, tears pouring down her face as she ran towards her mother.
"Mommy!" She yelled, Emily sighed as she scooped her up and noticed a small cut on her forehead.
"Did you run into the wall again?" She asked.
"Hurts!" Daisy just wailed. Emily quickly fished around in her handbag and produced a senzu bean then gave it to Daisy.
"Eat this honey and it'll make your head feel better." She explained. The tot quickly gulped the bean down and a grin spread across her face as the cut healed, giving Emily the chance to put her down.
"Thanks mommy." Daisy chirped then ran back up the stairs, smiling now, Emily turned back to her father.
"You keep senzu beans?" Goku asked.
"Yeah, it's handy when I'm out with the kids. Now what was I going to say? Oh yeah, I need to ask you something, but I'll need mom on this too." She said, Goku nodded and led her into the kitchen where Chichi was then Emily explained the whole situation.
"You got a promotion? That's fantastic sweetheart!" Chichi cried when her daughter had finished.
"And of course we'll help, when Trunks needs it we'll be there." Goku added. Emily grinned at this.
"Thanks mom, dad. You have no idea how much we appreciate this. Daisy uh kinda started a food fight last night so it got Trunks admitting he might need help." Emily laughed, Goku and Chichi both raised an eyebrow at their daughter and shook their heads.
"Daisy started a food fight?" Goku asked.
"I'm not even going to ask." Chichi added. The door suddenly opened and everyone could hear 16 year old Goten yelling.
"Ah! Their at my CD's!" He screamed, running up the stairs.
"Goten, they're in Emily's old room!" Goku called, chasing up after his son whilst Emily followed. To their shock though, they found the twins in Goten's room with all his CD's on the bed and chasing each other, whilst Daisy was sitting on the bed, on Goten's CD's too, laughing.
"Jake! Alex! What do you two think you are doing?" Emily yelled, scooping Daisy up off the bed, scanning to see if any of her brothers CD's where broken and relieved when they were fine, then glared at them. The twins suddenly stopped running about and stared up at their mother.
"Well they where in your old room." Goku muttered.
"Well?" Emily demanded, placing one hand on her hip, whilst she adjusted her grip on Daisy with the other hand.
"Sorry uncle Goten." The twins chorused in unison, looking down at the floor. Goku looked at Goten who sighed.
"It's ok you two, nothing is broken." He said.
"Now out, and I don't want you two ever playing in here without your uncle's permission! Do I make myself clear?" Emily snapped.
"Yes mom." The twins said again in unison as they both filed out the room. Emily sighed and looked at her brother.
"Sorry about that Goten. Are you sure nothings broken?" She asked.
"Yeah, everything looks fine. I guess I kinda over reacted a bit." He laughed, placing his hand behind his head.
"No, your reaction was fine. They know better than to play around in your room, without your permission." Emily said darkly as she left the room.
The rest of the week flew by and Emily announced that she was flying out early Friday morning, which she wasn't too happy about. Thursday night came around and after she settled the kids down, she relaxed with her husband, on the couch downstairs.
"I'm going to miss you." Mirai Trunks whispered.
"Me too. Don't worry I'm only a phone call away if you need me." Emily laughed, snuggling up to him.
"I won't let things get that far. And I'll take you to the airport tomorrow." He said, Emily shook her head at this.
"Don't be silly, it'll mean getting the kids up. Martin said he'd pick me up anyway." She said, Mirai Trunks sighed at this.
"Alright, I'll see you out then." He said, Emily smiled at this as they both finished up for the night. Emily's case was in the hallway ready for the next morning as they both passed it, making their way up the stairs. Peering into the twins room, they smiled as they saw Jake tucked up under his blanket whilst Alex had hers hanging off, and was half hanging out the bed herself, gently snoring away.
"Will you look at that?" Emily whispered, laughing a bit as she made her way over and placed Alex back in the bed and tucked her up.
"Bet you'll miss doing that." Mirai Trunks joked.
"Hm, I probably will. Come on before we wake them, I know how much of a light sleeper they are." Emily replied as they both crept out the room. Peering into Daisy's room, she was rolled over on her side in her cot and the blanket was only up to her waist.
"Why can't girls keep their blankets on?" Mirai Trunks laughed. Emily hit him softly on the arm then she crept over and fixed Daisy's blanket.
"Night sweetheart. I'll see you on Monday." She whispered as they backed out the room. Retiring to bed, they both fell asleep.
