Abigail Kaori Christelle
A Bedtime Story from Daddy!
Chapter 1
Oh, boy. I don't know how Abigail does it! Taking careof the kids while she's gone is tiring… Okay, if you're
wondering who I am, I'm Tai. Tai Kamiya.
Hold on. I'm going too fast. Basically, my wife, Abigail, isattending a meeting in her realm right now. I'll explain all thatother realm and royalty stuff later.
"Daddy, I'm sleepy!"
"Yeah, me too!"
"So am I!"
"Coming kids! Go to your room and change. I'll be rightthere."
That was my kids, if you were wondering. I've got six. Kiara, Yuka, and Suzuka, the triplets; Aiko(Girl) and
Akio(Boy), twins: and finally, Kyoya, our little baby boy. He's a month old. I think Akio's relieved to have another boy inthe house.
Kiara, Yuka and Suzuka are all 8.
They all have elbow length wavy hair, as well as blue eyeslike their mother. Only difference is that Kiara has red hair, Yuka's hair (dark brown) is exactly like my wife, Abigail's, and Suzuka's hair is blonde. Yuka's older than Kiara by 2 minutes and 15 1/2 seconds, and Kiara's older than Suzuka by 12 seconds, though she doesn't act like it.
Aiko and Akio are 10. They've got black hair. Aiko's eyes are blue which turn
silver at night for some strange reason that has to do with the starlight. And Akio's eyes are hazel, just like his ol' man. They're apart by 3 minutes and 27 seconds.
And finally, Kyoya's got bright red hair, though I don't know how that happened. His eyes are a dull red to match.
They all have the royal birthmark too. You probably don't know what this means, but you will later on in the story.
"Oopsie-daisy!" I cooed when I picked Kyoya up. He laughed. I carried him up to me and Abigail's room and set him in his crib. Then I walked across the hall and one door over to the kid's room. Yes, the kids share a room. It's a simple white room with blue bed sheets for the beds. The girls' beds have light blue bed sheets and and Akio's bed has dark blue bed sheets. There are three beds along the right wall for Kiara, Yuka and Suzuka, and a bunk bed along the left for Aiko and Akio.
They were all ready in their beds. I got to work tucking them in. When I finished, I gave each of them a hug and walked back to the door. "Goodnight, sleep tight, and don't let the bedbugs bite, kids!"
"What?" I asked, confused. Did I do something wrong?
"What about our lullaby?" The most childish of the triplets, Kiara asked.
Shoot! I can't sing as well as Abigail! Oh, well. I'll try…
I closed my eyes and tried to remember the lullaby Abigail used to sing.
"Go, to sleep, my little ones,
The sun has sa—"
"Dad, that's not the lullaby…" interrupted Aiko, as he sweatdropped. "You must have forgotten it."
"In that case, you have—"Aiko started, but was cut off.
"To tell us a story!" Akio finished, interrupting someone again.
When they were 5, we found out that they had telepathy.
"Well… I don't know any good stories…" I laughed nervously. Well, I have one. But it contains the secret of
Abigail's side of the family! And we didn't plan on telling them 'till next year!
"Come on, dad…. please?!" They asked in unison. Aw, man! Their giving me the puppy dog face!
My weakness! Well… maybe I could tell them. After all, the younger they are when we tell them, the better.
"Well, if you don't know any, daddy, then could you maybe—"Yuka started, and was then cut off yet again.
"Tell us how you and mommy first met?" Suzuka finished. Funny, I didn't think she was the type to interrupt someone.
"Sure, kids! So it all—"
"Wait! I need to pee!" We all laughed as Kiara scrambled to the bathroom. When she got back, I 'ahemed' and once again started.
"Ahem… So it all began when…"
