"Mikoto, the bus is here!" Sana called into the living room from her spot by the front door.
"Coming Mommy!" Her young daughter replied back. Mikoto ran to her side, hair done up in pigtails. Sana smiled, kneeling down so that she was eye-level with her daughter.
"Very good. Now Mikoto, remember what I said?" She asked, passing her daughter her book bag and her lunch. Mikoto nodded, placing the backpack onto her shoulder.
"Do unto others as you would want others to do unto you." She recited, a happy grin on her face and in her eyes. Sana nodded, patting her cheek.
"Good girl. Now hurry on, darling, and I will be here when you get home." Sana assured her daughter. Mikoto nodded, hugging Sana tightly."I love you." The five year old whispered into her ear. Sana blinked back tears, hugging her tighter.
"I love you too."
"And Madara's first day was fabulous!" Sana giggled, feeding Maki another spoon full of peas.
"That's good. I'm waiting on Mikoto to come home now. Obito is outside, playing in the leaves."
"And Maki?"
"Eating Peas. Has Oboro started walking yet?" She asked, smiling and praising Maki when she took another bite. Lin murmured an affirmation, then jumped into a long winded rant about it. When her phone beeped, she sighed.
"I'm going to have to call you back. I think that its Hats." Sana explained.
"Okay! Bye, Sana." Lin said. Sana nodded, clicking over.
Hatsuho immediately began to wail into her ear. Rolling her eyes, Sana stood up, picking up Maki as well.
"I'll be right over. Is Maho down for her nap?" She asked.
"Y-yeah…"
"Good. I'll place Maki in with her and we'll stick Kyoko out back with Obito." Hatsuho agreed, then hung up. Sighing, the pinkette looked down at her daughter, who was playing with her necklace.
"Let's go get your big brother." She cooed, placing a kiss on Maki's cheek. Maki grinned, pointing towards the backdoor.
"Obi!"
"It pains me to have to let them go, Sana. I mean, sure their in the best school in the country and all, but they're my babies." Hatsuho pouted over her tea. Sana nodded, gripping her hand.
"I know. It pains me too to watch Mikoto grow up." She said sadly. Both women sighed, looking over to their other children.
"We at least have more?" Hatsuho asked. Sana nodded, smiling.
"That is true." She agreed. Smiling slightly, Hatsuho stood up to play with the children.
As Sana watched the single parent, she felt a stab of sympathy for the woman. She couldn't imagine raising four small girls by herself.
Suddenly she was very grateful for her husband.
"And I really enjoyed recess." Mikoto rambled excitedly to Jo as he tucked her in. Jo nodded, sitting next to her on the bed.
"Oh yeah? That's good." He commented. Mikoto grinned up at him.
"What was your first day of school like, Daddy?" She asked. Jo's expression softened as he remembered.
"It…was something to remember, that's for sure." He murmured, his mind throwing up mental barriers as the memories of that dark day tried to surface.
"And Mommy's?" She asked, oblivious to her father's reflective thoughts. Jo blinked out of his trance, he glanced down to his dark eyes daughter.
"You know, Mikoto, I'm not sure." He said, bothered by how true that statement was. He hated not knowing everything about his wife.
"School?" Sana asked as she climbed into bed beside him. Jo nodded, lifting up the covers so she could scoot closer into his embrace.
"Yes school. What was it like for you?" He asked. Sana wrapped an arm around his waist as she thought about it.
"Well, I thought school was fun. I had a couple friends, and Daddy would pick me up and Mommy would drop me off. Normal school stuff until I became part of the Venus project." She shrugged. Looking up at her husband, she returned the question.
"How was it with you?" She asked, curling into his embrace. Jo rested his chin on the top of her pink locks, wondering about it.
"Well, mine was normal as well. My Dad worked from home, and my Mom would be the one to pick me up. Then, at eleven, I was forced into the military, as you know." He added. Sana nodded, yawning.
"I'm hoping Mikoto's school days will be just as peaceful." She murmured. Jo nodded, kissing the top of her head.
"Me too."
A/N: More to come about the family life. I love writing about my mother's origins. It brings me joy.
