Hi Cuties! Thanks for reading and here's the next chapter! Please review as I read them all.

"C'mon Elizabeth," Meliodas begged as he used his puppy eyes on the baby," Just one bite!"

The baby refused to even open her little mouth.

Ever since Elizabeth could eat solids, it had been Meliodas' task to feed her. A task that was proving to be extremely difficult. She'd greedily suckle and gulp her warm milk, but the minute she saw the bowl and spoon, she would blanch.

Meliodas looked down at the bowl. It was weird pinkish gray color and smelled kinda funny.

"It can't be that bad," Meliodas joked as he put a bit in his mouth.

He froze.

It was horrible.

Scrambling around, he found a nearby plant pot and whilst Elizabeth giggled nearby, Meliodas emptied the contents of his stomach. Suddenly a large hand patted him on the back.

"You alright Captain?"

"Hey ban," Meliodas said weakly, turning to give his friend a weak grin. But Ban had moved on and was standing over the now quiet infant.

"Heeey baby!"

To the small Elizabeth, Ban looked like the Big Bad Wolf in the stories Meliodas would read to her, with his sharp eyes and sinister grin. Tears pooled in her baby blue eyes and she began to bawl.

Slam.

Before anyone could blink, Meliodas had thrown Ban into the opposing wall and has scooped Elizabeth up, humming to soothe her.

Ban pulled himself out of the wall, bits of dust speckling his hair and jacket. He didn't even turn to admire the imprint he'd made in the ancient stones. With a cough, he turned to Meliodas, giving him a harsh glare as he neared the Dragon Sin.

"What the hell was that for?!" Ban snarled.

Meliodas' eyes hardened as he felt Elizabeth freeze up in his arms.

"You made Elizabeth cry. Apologize."

Ban paused, taking in the Captain's command before he doubled over, howling with laughter.

"What, are you serious?"

Ban stopped laughing when he felt the cold metal blade at his throat.

"Apologize now," Meliodas repeated, a demonic echo sending a shiver down Ban's spine.

"Fine, fine. I'm sorry," Ban groaned. However Elizabeth still seemed wary of the Fox Sin of Greed.

"So what's got you so green, Captain?" Ban asked the still sick Meliodas.

"I tried Elizabeth's food," Meliodas grimaced," It's worse than mine."

"Let me try," Ban grinned, the silver spoon now in his hand. Meliodas' eyes widened in horror.

"Ban, no!"

But it was too late. Ban had already put the silver spoon in his mouth. Turning a peculiar shade of green, he rushed to the poor plant pot and followed in Meliodas' path, heaving.

After a minute, Ban stood up and wiped his mouth. But unlike Meliodas, he now had a furious gleam in his eyes.

"Who made that?" Ban asked in a dangerous, low tone.

"I think it was the Head Chef."

Before Meliodas could stop him, Ban had already left. Meliodas followed him quickly, carrying the tiny princess in his arms.

When the duo arrived at the kitchen, Ban was already there.

"Who the hell made the princess' meal?" Ban bellowed, startling the kitchen staff. A small, plump man walked over.

"I did. I'm the Head Chef here."

Ban grabbed the man by the shirt and pulled him up to meet him face to face.

"How can you call yourself a chef? Your food is terrible!"

The chef went red, then purple. He began to splutter.

"I beg your-"

"What was in it, huh?" Ban asked in fury, shaking the tiny man," HUH?!"

" It's a mixture of pureed beetroot and mushrooms," the chef answered," Healthy and balanced."

"I'm so sorry," Meliodas whispered to Elizabeth.

Ban dropped the chef and walked over to a worktop, clearing it quickly. He then reached into his knapsack and pulled out a strange yellow object.

"What is that?" Meliodas asked.

Ban gave a sly grin before leaning against the worktop.

"Remember that mission we took a while back? The pesky sirens and that haunted island?"

"Oh yeah!" Meliodas said.

"When we were there, I found this strange tree in the middle of the island covered in these," Ban said, moving the fruit as he spoke," I grabbed some of them and planted some. They're sweet and pretty good."

"What are they called?"

"I called them BANanas," Ban grinned.

Meliodas rolled his eyes and was about to comment on the man's ego but the chef jumped in.

"Why have you brought this banana here, huh?" the chef demanded, his small eyes squinting at Ban.

"I'm making the princess something decent," Ban shrugged.

"Hang on!" the chef shrieked," You can't give that strange thing to the princess. I forbid it."

Meliodas decided to step in.

"I'm her carer so I say she can eat it," the blonde man said, ignoring the slacked jaws and widened eyes. Ban grinned and started to cook.

Everyone stopped what they were doing to watch the sin cook. Even the Head Chef was impressed.

After peeling and dicing the banana, Ban shoved it in a bowl and used a fork to mash it. A sweet tropical aroma filled the air. Ban then turned to one of the assistants.

"Got any cinnamon?" Ban asked. The young assistant looked nervous, but nodded before scurrying off. A few moments later, Ban had his cinnamon. He sprinkled a little bit into the mush before mixing it in. He then placed some of it in a small dish with a silver spoon.

"Voila!" Ban exclaimed as he handed the concoction to Meliodas.

"Ready Elizabeth?" Meliodas cooed at the baby as they walked out the kitchen. The rest of them, including Ban and the Head Chef, followed them out into the dining hall. After sitting down at the table, Meliodas scooped up a little of the mix.

"I doubt she'll like it," the Head Chef muttered.

"Open wide!" Meliodas said. After a second or two, Elizabeth obeyed and Meliodas spooned some of the banana into her mouth.

Everyone held their breaths, even Ban.

Would she spit it out?

Nope.

Elizabeth gurgled and a smile appeared on her face. Whilst the Head Chef fainted, everyone else smiled and sighed with relief.

Thank goodness.

Looks like Ban and his bananas saved the day.
