"Mummy? Daddy?"

Summer Hyde was all seriousness as she walked in the front door from the school bus to find her mother seated on her father's lap partaking in a rather heavy make out session. Whilst such displays of affection were not unusual in this household, young Summer had never had cause to question it until now.

"Why do you kiss so much?"

Donna looked at her husband's face – a face close by – before she slipped from his lap (smirking inwardly at the soft groan she heard) and gestured for her daughter to come over.

Summer scrambled up into her father's lap as Hyde propped himself up more upright. "Oof," said the man as he positioned his daughter. "You're getting big."

The five year old eyed her father with a look so much like her mother. "You haven't answered my question."

Donna studiously ignored her husband as she faced her firstborn, taking the question seriously. "Your father and I kiss a lot because we love each other."

"Oh."

"Just like we kiss you and Saxon and Miley and Edie," added Hyde. "Because we love you and that's how we show it."

Summer processed this. "I guess that means that Mrs Kane and Mr Imajane love each other."

Donna and Hyde exchanged glances at this reference to the very married teachers from their daughter's school as said daughter carried on.

"Missy said today at school that kissing makes babies and I guess that's true." Summer turned to bewildered mother, looking down at her flat stomach that had been big with the twins a year ago. "Is there another baby coming?"

"No!" replied both parents together.

A month later, Donna turned to face her husband. "What on earth is she going to think when we tell them another baby is on the way?"

"The same thing we told Summer," said Hyde as he nibbled at Donna's ear. "We love each other."

"You're no help."

"I'm inclined to disagree," said Hyde as he slipped a hand under his wife's tank top to rest on where her abdomen had begun to softly swell once again. "I've been much help."

Donna grinned and allowed him to take over.
