Hola! Miss Classy here with The Samurai Family II: Here We Go Again! Are you excited? Because I am!

So, you're probably wondering why I didn't just keep on making chapters on the prequel to this.

Reason 1: While I was typing chapter 38, I was thinking, "Wow, it's like the story is ending."

Reason 2: The Samurai Family focuses a lot on Mia's pregnancy, Lauren's first boyfriend, and Mike and Emily's marriage. You know how long that took? 38 chapters (I tried to get 40…)! Okay, that's not long compared to other stories, especially the ones that reach 50 - 100 chapters. But think about it, Mia isn't pregnant anymore, Mike and Emily have been married for two months, and Lauren's relationship with Cody is starting to mature. Don't you think that calls for a part II? Did I make any sense? ._.

For the people reading this like, "What the hell?": Um, I recommend reading The Samurai Family. Reading this first might confuse you. But whether or not you decide to read the prequel, and this story sparked your interest… Hi! I hope you enjoy this story! :)

Okay, enough of my super long author's notes. Here we go again…

"Sleep well, honey." Mia whispered to her daughter after making her comfortable in her crib. Like most babies, the long ride home took its toll on Breezie and put her to sleep. "I hope you like your room."

Mia smiled warmly at her little bundle of joy and picked up a baby monitor from a dresser that's closest to the crib. She didn't plan on staying in the quiet nursery so she turned on the device before leaving. This way she could know when Breezie woke up without having to keep her eyes on her. There was no point in leaving the door open while Breezie slept but Mia kept it open just a crack. It made her feel better about not being by her daughter's side. Since she woke up at the Shiba house, Breezie has always been within her reach.

She yawned and stretched her arms as she made her way to the living room, where Kevin was already sitting on the couch. He seemed to be in deep thought. It was either that or he was having fun staring at a television screen that wasn't displaying anything.

"I'm tired." Mia said, snapping Kevin out of his thoughts. She sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I thought you were the one that was sleeping for week." Kevin replied. He placed his hands on her waist. "It feels good to hold you again without a bulging stomach in the way."

Mia giggled slightly before playfully nudging her husband in the ribs. Her pregnancy wasn't easy for her and the amount of weight she gained didn't help at all. The room fell silent again as Mia and Kevin dreamily gazed into each other's eyes. So much crap has happened to them in the past few months but they managed to dodge the obstacles with each other and with the Samurai Family.

"I feel… different." Mia spoke up, breaking the silence.

"Me too." Kevin agreed. He looked at the baby monitor Mia set on the coffee table. "Can you believe there's someone else in this house?"

Mia shook her head. "I'm still trying to warm up to the fact. I hope that person stays in here until she's eighteen though. I kind of like her."

"I like her name."

"She's definitely going to be a fly kid in school with a name like that."

Mia and Kevin looked at each other and laughed.

"I really missed seeing you happy so much." Kevin told her. "I'm glad I got to keep my wife and my daughter."

"About that…" Mia gave Kevin a serious expression. "When Catherine was giving me a checkup yesterday, of course we got into a conversation about how I felt… but then that conversation led to talking about how you felt."

"What do you mean?"

"She said that you were losing faith in me and you almost gave up. She also said you wished we decided to have kids at a later date so Ji could warn us of the consequences and you wouldn't have to lose me. I don't know about you but I think Breezie entered this world with good timing. We married each other almost four years ago and have been wanting kids ever since."

Kevin sighed. He should've seen this coming. He didn't quite explain every event in detail that happened to Mia while she was on her death bed. He's never really been the one to focus too much on the past. He liked to keep going, putting bad memories behind him.

"I did." Kevin couldn't lie to her. It would just cause more unnecessary drama he doesn't need, especially since things were starting to calm and get better.

"Kevin, I know you love me but… I would die for Breezie. Now that I know how perfect she came out… I would do anything to make her life happy with or without me. I left her in good hands, right?"

"Yes, you did. I would die for her too Mia. It's just… I was having a hard time coping without you. I've known you longer than Breezie. Since we got married, apart from work, everywhere I went, you went with me. Think about it, you would feel the same way."

"I would." Mia nodded. "I'm glad we're on the same page again."

"Two great minds think alike."

"Exactly."


Mike walked down a hallway, leading to his dance studio at the recreation center. Evany gave him a voicemail a couple of days ago and just today he called her back. He's glad Evany is serious about learning the choreography now. He's planning on inviting parents for a performance soon to show them how much their child has progressed. And with a family of high dance expectations like Evany's, he's more than willing to help her improve.

"You wear a lot of green." Evany said, leaning on the door to the studio.

"You wear a lot of pink." Mike laughed and opened the door with a key. He knew it wouldn't take too long for his students to catch on to his fashion choices. They didn't know it but he was a green Power Ranger. He's naturally drawn to the color.

"Pink's a cool color." Evany shrugged. She dropped her school bag by the wall and walked out to the middle of the floor.

"Is pink your favorite color?" Mike asked her, pushing a CD into his stereo system.

"Yeah, why?"

"I have a friend that loves pink." Mike gestured for Evany to sit and he sat across from her. "She's really tough. She recently just had a baby after a… unhealthy pregnancy. When I met her five years ago, we were living together with some other friends. She really loves to cook. She cooked for us whenever she got the chance to. You know what the problem with that was?"

"What?"

"She's a terrible cook. And guess what? Her mom can cook, her dad can cook, and even her brother that's five years younger than her can cook better than her. My friends and I used to hide our disgust so we wouldn't hurt her feelings."

"Really? What happened?" Evany wasn't expecting a story and she honestly didn't care but when Mike mentioned the second half of the story, she got very intrigued.

"Well, we eventually told her we didn't like her cooking." Mike answered his student. "She wasn't sad about it. She said that she always suspected she was a bad cook. You know what she did about it?"

"She stopped cooking?"

"Nope, she enrolled into a culinary academy. She worked very hard too. The next time my friends and I met up with her, she blew our minds. We never knew it was possible for her to improve her cooking skills. Now she only has one more year of culinary school until she gets her degree."

"Wow… I want to be like her."

"Evany, you told me one of your brothers teach hip-hop. Why didn't you join his class?"

Evany stared at the ground. "Chad, my brother, he… he offered me to join his class. He thought I was like the rest of the family and I picked up on dances quickly. I turned him down. I didn't want to disappoint him or anyone in the family."

Mike nodded slowly, letting the information sink in. From what he can tell, Evany is very insecure, especially about dancing. She won't even talk to her own family about it.

"Have you ever danced at home, in your room, when no one is watching?"

"Yeah."

Mike nodded again. "Do you love to dance?"

"More than anything in the world!"

"Do you love hip-hop and R&B?" Mike asked. There are many different genres of dance. What's the point in teaching her hip-hop if she doesn't like hip-hop?

"Yeah."

"Good. We're already making progress." Mike stood up and held out his hand for Evany to take. "Let's start with some simple moves."


"Thanks." Antonio told a cashier at the ice cream shop. Jayden, Lauren, and Cody all decided to enjoy the sunny weather and eat outside so he picked up a tray to carry the ice cream he ordered them. On his way to the table though, a short woman bumped into him, causing his quick reflexes to catch his tray before it feel and made a mess.

"I'm so, so, sorry!" The woman exclaimed. She wore big glasses, and a rather modern vintage, floral skirt. "Do you need me to get you any napkins, or more spoons…?"

"Hey, no harm done." Antonio rested his hand on the startled lady. He gestured to the tray. Everything the cashier gave him was where he put it, except a little closer to the edge of the tray from the sudden collision.

"Oh… um, I'm just going to go now."

"Are you okay?" Antonio asked but the woman didn't hear him. She was already in the ice cream shop. The gold samurai shook his head and made his way to the table his friends chose while he got the ice cream.

"Who runs the world?" Lauren sang, putting one of her earphones in her ear.

"Squirrels." Antonio chuckled as he gave everyone their ice cream.

Lauren rolled her eyes. "Who's that squirrel you ran into?"

"Yeah, seems like you scared the crap out of her." Cody said.

"I don't know." Antonio replied. "She accidentally bumped into me and freaked out."

"That's strange." Jayden commented. "Maybe she's antisocial."

"Maybe…" Antonio looked back at the door to the ice cream shop. He watched as doors swung open, revealing the same lady that bumped into him. She was licking ice cream off of the cone while she kept a book tucked under one of her arms.

Woo! How's that for a new beginning? I'm not going to promise anything this week but I want to try updating every Saturday (and another day I'm not sure about right now). This way I can relieve myself of pressure to update and keep my school work out of my FanFictions. Please review! :)
