Pilot.

I marched the girls into the house where Monika was waiting for us in their room.
On each of their beds were their colour arranged onesies, Red for Sayori, Pink for Natsuki, and Purple for Yuri, obviously.
Monika looked cross with each of them for their misbehaviour.
Sitting on the beds, Monika and I took the girls one at a time to ready them for bed. I had Sayori on my knee and began untying her bow while Yuri had her clips removed by her mom.
Natsuki, being the youngest of our girls but with the most to prove, undid her hair herself and even went as far as to get undressed to her underwear.
Before letting them get into bed, Monika and I held the girl we were preparing firmly on our laps and as soon as they were sans their clips and beads and bows, we began repositioning them over our knees.

"Mommy?" Yuri asked with obvious fear in her tone.

"Daddy!" Sayori yelped when she suddenly found her self laying over my lap. "NO! Please!"

Natsuki watched from her bed in terror as I began pulling her sister's panties down and began spanking Sayori's butt.
She turned to her mom, and found Yuri also fighting tears as Monika made her bottom pink too.
Sayori held my left arm as I smacked her with my right. This'll teach her to run off, and Monika was making short work of Yuri.
A spanking for each of them and then it'll be bed time.
I heard Natsuki run off down the stairs, knowing she'll be next.
After Sayori and Yuri were spanked enough, Monika and I picked them up for their cuddles.
Sayori sobbed loudly into my shoulder as I patted her back. Her little arms were tight around me. The pity and sadness this brings me made my chest ache. I love them so much and it wounds me to have to do this.

"You gonna be good girls now?" Monika asked as she combed Yuri's hair with her hand.

They both nodded, saying their sorries and fighting back the hiccups that follow a long cry.
I lay Sayori on the bed and got her dressed into her pyjamas. The fabric was soft and smelled so clean after Monika does laundry, just the way the girls like it.
Yuri was in her PJs too, and we tucked them in gently before giving them a kiss on the head and turning off the light.
With them both settled, Monika and I would both like to call it a night and let them sleep.
But Natsuki was hiding somewhere and her spanking was coming as soon as we find her.

"I don't know, she'll wake the others up when she joins them. Maybe we should hold off until tomorrow?" Monika suggested.

She had a point but we had to find Natsuki anyway, so it might as well happen tonight.

"where is she?" I whispered to her.

Monika placed her hands in my shoulders and leaned in to me. She does this when she's about to read or write code.

"hmph hehe" She giggled before staring off through to the living room. "she's hiding under the sofa"

I looked too, and saw a set of hands and knees and the side of her face peeking out at us.
She got a fright and pushed her self higher, causing the cushions to rise at her back.
Monika and I walked over to the sofa and I lifted it one handed.
Natsuki looked at us with wide frightful eyes before curling up and hiding under her hands.
Monika pulled her out as I lowered the sofa and we both sat down. Natsuki was placed on my lap and I held her in place.

"No! No! NO!" She cried flailing her arms and legs.

"Behave yourself" I commanded restraining her. I wanted to be gentle though. Her code has a lot of red flags when it comes to fatherly abuse, so I had to do this right otherwise I risked her mind collapsing. With Monika on standby, that shouldn't happen though.

"Listen, you get the privilege of having a choice Natsuki" I told her. "You will be spanked, that's nonnegotiable. But since your sisters are in bed already, you can join them tonight and take your punishment tomorrow before breakfast or right now and sleep in with us tonight"

Monika showed Natsuki her pyjamas were already with us.

"But I don't want to be spanked" Natsuki cried pulling my shirt into her face to hide from us.

"If you take it like a good girl, you'll have a sleep with us and tomorrow you can play outside again" Monika prompted giving her a pat, but she also signed to me that we should go with it now before it gets any later.

With the girl still sobbing into me, I picked her up and carried her towards our bedroom.
The whines grew louder as we sat on the bed. Monika collected the clothes as I removed them from Natsuki and folded them neatly on the dresser.

"please don't papa" Natsuki mumbled to me.

Melt your heart, she would.

"I'm sorry honey. It's dangerous for you girls to go alone, I promise this is better than being eaten by wild animals"

"If you got hurt out there, if your sisters got hurt, we'd be lost without you" Monika said to her. "You three mean everything to us, we'd die if something happened to any of you"

"I'm sorry"

"you've been sorry before, Natsuki. We need you to mean it this time" I gave Monika a look. Things have changed since the game. I feel she genuinely loves these girls like I do. She's not unnecessarily cruel or mean. "Do you want muma or papa to spank you?"

Natsuki whined as she pulled her face into my shirt.

"okay dear" I gently pried her hands from me and manoeuvred her onto my lap. She'd started crying before I'd even pulled her pants down.

In my peripheral vision, I could see Monika had started getting dressed into her pyjamas too, now that I'd been elected to handle this without her.
I gave the spanks on Natsuki's bare bottom just as I did with her sister. Printing rosy spots all over and bringing the girl to tears while kicking and waving her arms around.
Once it was over I pulled her in for cuddles and snuggles. Monika had just let her hair down as she walked over fully ready for bed to take Natsuki away so I could get undressed.

"there there" Monika hummed as she rocked Natsuki back and forth, giving her gentle pats on the back to calm her.

As I was just putting my bottoms on, I recognised the tune Monika was humming as Your Reality and it seemed to be doing a fine job putting the girl to sleep.

"does my pen, only write better words for those, who are dear to me, dah tha, tha tha… is it love, if I keep you or is it love, if I set you free~" She smiled to me as our eyes met. It was our song, the one she wrote for me, but it was nice to see it having such a warm affect on our children too.

We set Natsuki down in the middle of our bed while Monika and I took the left and right sides before snuggling in.
Natsuki fell asleep with her arms holding her muma, but I was able to wrap my arm around both of them to pull in.

"thank you" Monika whispered to me.

"for what?" I asked softly.

"for making me bring them back"

We kissed just above our girl's head and when pulled away, Monika snuggled warmer into Natsuki like a teddy bear, looking like she was very much in love with her daughter as any mother should be.
I was just happy the family was complete again.
