Author's notice: H.O.T.D. does NOT belong to me. Starts at Takagi's Estate before they even decide to leave and they will stay there for a few weeks. Forgive me if characters seem out of character.

Summary: Takashi and Rei have found a 5 year old girl with a striking resemblance to both of them in both looks and personality. Not only does she looks and acts like them, she also thinks that both Takashi and Rei are her parents. Will the they and the rest of the gang deal with this new situation in this zombie-apocalyptic world of theirs, and more importantly, how will Rei and Takashi's relationship be affected by this girl? Let's read and find out, shall we.

Chapter 1: Mommy and Daddy!

Rei's P.O.V

Takashi and I were out for a walk on the exterior of the estate walls when we heard the sound of a child crying just around the corner.

"Takashi, do you hear that?" I asked him.

"Yeah." He said. "Let's go check it out." When we rounded the corner, we were surprised to see an uninfected 5 year old girl sitting against the wall, crying her eyes out. Her appearance was what surprised us the most. She looked like me and had my brownish hair color and style while she had Takashi's golden eyes. We approached her calmly but cautiously. I bent down to her eye level and held out my hand to her.

"Hey are you ok?" I asked putting on a caring smile. She looked up at me and what she did next was even more of a surprise to us.

"Mommy!" She yelled as she tackle hugged me, almost knocking me over. I returned the hug and rubbed her back in a comforting way to slow down her sobbing so she could talk to us. Once she had calmed down enough, she looked at Takashi and yelled "Daddy!" surprising him as well.

"What's your name sweetheart?" I asked her in a caring motherly voice.

"Elisabeth." She said with a hiccup.

"Can you tell us why you were all alone and why you think we are your parents?" Takashi asked in a caring way.

"Well that's simple Daddy. We have the same eye color and I look a lot like mommy." She said smiling at us. "I used to live at this place called an orphanage and then everything went all weird. I knew Mommy and Daddy would come back for me one day and now you both have." I smiled at her sweetly. I gave Takashi a look saying 'follow my lead or else'. He gulped as he nodded.

"Elizabeth, sweetie." I said as sweetly and as motherly once again. "Your Daddy and I would like to take you to the place we are staying at the moment. Is that alright with you?"

"I'll go anywhere with you two." Elizabeth saying happily as she hugged me tighter. I did the same as I picked her up and carried her back to the estate with Takashi.

Takagi Estate: 9:00PM

To say everyone was shocked was what we expected. Though only Soichiro Takagi and Yuriko were the only two who remained calm.

"Ummm…. Why does that girl look like you Rei?" Kohta asked as if she was a mini-clone of Rei.

"Simple silly. She's my mommy and he's my daddy." The girl answered pointing as the couple blushed in embarrassment.

"Could we speak to you two alone?" Mr. Takagi asked in a calm manner. Takashi and I nodded. I set Elizabeth down.

"Elizabeth sweetie could you be a good girl for your Aunt Saya and Aunt Saeko while we go talk with Saya's parents?" I asked her. "We will be back in a few minutes."

"Okay." She sighed as she took Saya's hand. We followed her parents into the other room.

"Where did you find that girl and why does she refer to you two as her parents?" Mr. Takagi asked.

"We found her outside the estate grounds and we guess that we look like her that she thinks we are her parents sir." Takashi answered him calmly.

"I see." Yuriko said amused at the current situation. "We'll allow this, but she's the responsibility of you both then. We'll both at like uncles and aunts towards her along though. Understood?"

"Yes m'am" We said as we left the room. We went back to our rooms and had Elizabeth's room right across from mine and Takashi's room. We went to her room so I could tuck her into bed.

Elizabeth's room: 12:00 A.M.

"Daddy's and my rooms are right across the hallway sweetheart." I said in that motherly tone again as I smiled while I tucked her into bed. "If you need anything, let me know. Mine is the room on the left. But for now I want you to get some sleep, alright darling."

"Ok Mommy." She said tiredly on the verge of falling asleep.

"I love you. Good night." I said as I kissed her on the forehead when she shut her eyes, but not before Takashi ruffled her hair. We then silently turned off the lights and shut the door. "Takashi."

"What is it Rei?" He asked slightly concerned.

"Could you spend the night with me?" I asked, my voice slightly trembling. "I want to talk about things."

"Um sure." He said as he followed me into my room. After we got comfortable in bed with his back against the wall and me in his lap with my head resting on his chest and he had his arms around my waist. I had my pink nightgown on and he was in his boxers. After a few minutes, he broke the silence. "So what did you want to talk about?" He asked.

"Takashi… I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you. I know it must have devastated you for having me to hurt you like that. But I am truly sorry. I really am. The tr… tru… truth is that I still, will, and always lo… love you… until I'm de… dead. I won't blame you if you won't return my fee… feelings for after all that I've put you through. If you ever fell in love with another girl… I wouldn't be able to live on. So please forgive me for my wrong doings and please help me raise this girl… please? I think that she can repair our relationship." I asked through my sobs as tears ran down my face as I buried it in his chest. He held me tightly and protectively as he rubbed my back.

"Rei." He said quietly. I looked up at him only to have his lips me mine in a soft gentle and passionate kiss, which I gladly accepted and gave back. We were unfortunately interrupted when we heard a knock at the door.

"Come in. It's unlocked." I said as the door opened to reveal Elizabeth with a slightly scared look on her face. "What's the matter sweetie, did you have a nightmare?" I asked with a concerned look on my face.

"Yeah." She answered with a few sniffles. "Can I sleep with you and Daddy tonight?"

"Sure you can dear." I smiled at her as she came in and crawled in my bed between the two of us. "Here cuddle with me. Mommy will protect you from your nightmares." I chuckled lightly as the girl used my right arm as a pillow.

"And Daddy will protect both of us from our nightmares, won't you Daddy." She laughed as Takashi slightly flushed from embarrassment.

"I'll try my best." Takashi said small smile. "But who will protect me from mine?" He asked her half jokingly, half seriously. It was the first time I've seen a real 100% genuine truly happy smile on his face in a long, long time. I was glad Elizabeth has a positive impact on him.

"That's simple." She said with a large smile on her face. "That's Mommy's job to protect you from your nightmares." She said causing both of us to blush furiously. "Right Mommy."

"Right." I said blushing. "But anyways it's time for bed. You don't want a grumpy mommy in the morning cause you and I need our beauty sleep or else a certain Minster will be getting a rude wake-up call in the morning." I said glaring evilly and playfully at Takashi, who gulped as he let his imagination take hold of what might happen if he does get a rude wake-up call in the morning.

"Alrighty then." Elizabeth said. "Nighty-night Mommy, Daddy."

"Good night Elizabeth." I said as I kissed her on her forehead and then Takashi on the lips before I laid my head down on my pillow and wrapped my arm around Elizabeth in a protective motherly manner as she cuddled into my embrace. Takashi had already fallen asleep. I softly smile at him. "Good night my love." I whispered to him before falling asleep myself to a wonderful dream.

To be continued…
