A/N: I know I should be working on my other story, The Unknown Factor, but I couldn't get this idea out of my head. One of my oc's are mentioned, Maria and as for Danielle, she isn't in this story at all. This may become a series of one-shots, I'm not sure. They won't be in time order either. Enjoy!
Good Morning! ~ Dan's P.O.V.
I rolled over in bed again. The clock on the bedside table told me it was Saturday, April 27 ,2022, and it was 6:48 am. I couldn't sleep on one of the two days I have off. At 26 years old, I was still doing the same thing I was doing at 13, foiling the bad guys plans. I am a Crime Investigator, so are some of the other people in my family. The other half of the king sized bed was empty, which meant my wife was already downstairs. I got up out of bed, defeated by lack of sleep, pulled on a t-shirt and headed downstairs. I went into the kids playroom to check and see if one of them were in there without an adult. The house was huge, a small kid could get lost in here; I did. Sure enough, as soon as I walked into the room I saw a pair of small feet sticking out of the Disney Princess play tent. I looked through the tiny window to see my three year old daughter, hugging her blankie and sucking her thumb, inside. I tickled her feet and pearls of laughter were carried out of the tent. Suddenly, the feet disappeared and she stuck her head out.
"Daddy!" She giggled; and jumped into my arms.
"Good Morning, sweetheart." I replied, picking her up and spinning around."Now, Rachel Melody Kuso, I remember your mother putting you to bed last night, so why are you down here this early?"
"Because, I was hungry and I couldn't find the kit-chan, Daddy" Rachel chimed, saying kitchen as two separate words.
I chuckled; she looked like her mother, but had the love of food I did. Her only physical feature that she got from me was her red-brown eyes. I ran my hand through Rachel's soft blue curls as I carried her to the kitchen.
In the kitchen Runo and Shun were sitting at the island, drinking herbal tea. Alice was flipping pancakes on a large griddle. All were wearing PJ's from Julie and Maria's new fashion line. Alice's are purple and white, and splashed across the front was " I'm sweet, but i've still got a dark side." Shun is wearing green PJ pants and a black robe. Runo's white robe was opened, showing her blue and yellow plaid shorts, and a blue shirt that proclaimed " I love you, now do as I say". Julie told me that she had designed that for Runo with me in mind; enough said.
"Good Morning!" They said. Runo came over and kissed me and Rachel. She took Rachel and sat her down at the kids table.
"What would you like on your pancakes, Rachel?" Alice asked.
"Well, Auntie Alice, I would like chocolate chips, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and bluberry syrup on my pancakes...please." Rachel replied, giving her Aunt a cheerful smile.
"I'll have the same, please Alice." I said.
"Oh great," Runo grumbled. " At this rate we will be eaten out of house and home, because my 3 year old daughter eats as much as her 26 year old father, who eats more than the average human anyway."
"Not to mention the fact that 21 people live here, not including regular visitors." Shun stated, looking over his tea cup.
This was true. There was me, Runo and Rachel. Shun, Alice and their 3 year old Stephanie. Julie, Billy and their 4 year old son Jaden. Philby (4 years old too) belonged to Chan Lee and Joe. Oh, and the other 2 kids named Rose and Conner, both 1, the babies of the family. Rose is Baron's and Maria's daughter. Conner is the son of Ace and Mira. And you can't forget Marucho, Keith and his soon-to-be wife Veronica. There was never a dull moment around here, this had to be the most hectic house in the world. We all liked keeping busy and on our feet. But as I looked down at Rachel, who gave me a huge smile, I thought that peaceful, early Saturday's weren't so bad either, if welcomed with a cheerful "Good Morning!".
A/N: There you have it, my first attempt at a one-shot. Tell me ,please, your opinion. Should I make another one? If you want to read more, review.
