Quietly opening the garage door, trying not to wake the sleeping household, he dropped the duffel bag from his shoulder as he slipped off his shoes and set them by the door. Even after living in America for the last seven years, Daiki Aomine found certain cultural differences hard to give up.

Once his shoes were off, he made his way into the darkened kitchen where Miki, the family dog, greeted him. The Akita happily wagged her tail as Aomine scratched her behind the ears as he continued to quietly make his way towards the other side of the house.

As he passed a baby monitor on the counter, he could hear soft humming coming from the device. Even without looking at the image on the monitor of a young woman gently rocking a child, he would know exactly where to go.

Padding his way down through the living room and down a hallway, Aomine didn't make a sound. Miki trailed behind him the entire time, happily wagging her tail. The closer he got to his destination, the more humming he could hear. He couldn't help but smile.

Stepping into the doorway of the room at the end of the hallway, Aomine's smile only grew larger. He silently leaned against the door jam and watched as his wife slowly rocked their 2 year-old daughter back to sleep in her arms, while humming to her. He continued to watch as his dark green haired daughter, stuck her thumb in her tiny mouth as her mother continued to rock her. Thankfully their daughter had gotten all of her mother's beauty. From her dark green - almost black hair - to her vivid green eyes.

This was his family. Both mother and daughter had their eyes closed as they continued to rock in the chair for a few more minutes, seemingly unaware that Aomine was watching them from the doorway. Miki brushed past his legs and moved to curl up in the middle of the nursery's floor, content that her family was together.

Moments such as this where all the more reason that Aomine was thankful for second chances. There had been a time, long ago, that he never would have imagined that his life would have turned out the way it had. Yet there wasn't a single thing in the world that he would trade for what he had now - his wife and their daughter.

Aomine began to hum along with his wife as she softly began to sing to their sleeping daughter."You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away…" she sang to the sleeping child, before opening her own vivid green eyes and smiling at her husband. He couldn't help but smile back at her with his dark blue eyes shining back his love for both of them.

Yes, she was his sunshine. She kept him grounded and focused, while he vowed never to let anything ever harm her. Yet things had not always been that way…
