Hey everyone. Before we begin, I want to make an important announcement. I am no longer writing... Further information will be explained at the end of the story. And please enjoy this early short story.

Previously on My Little Family:

"Yamamoto, don't say those stuff out of nowhere!"

"Haha! It's fine Tsuna. Matthew probably doesn't know what we're talking about."

But they were wrong. Children know more than what their parents think they do. The only issue was that he can't talk right now. He has to be a bit older to do that. Matthew clapped his hands, enjoying the peach flavored baby food that Yamamoto bought. Tsuna smiled. Since he finally got enough sleep, he felt really energetic. As if he could match up to Ryohei. Well, that might be going too far. The brunet said 'ah', hoping that the raven haired baby would do the same. Matthew blushed every time his mama Tsuna fed him. He was feeling rather happy. It was just another day with his papa Yamamoto and mama Tsuna. With two more people added. Maybe he can get used to this sort of lifestyle.

Chapter 10: Ideas

It was just another regular day in Namimori Middle School. Tsuna was sitting at his seat, reading over the script. His teacher finally made the copies of the play that he promised and is currently going over them. The brunet was just skimming through it since he didn't particularly liked the idea of him playing the main female role. It left a dent in his pride.

"Make sure to go home and practice over your lines. Once you come back next class, I'll see if you did or not." He said.

'How can I study this? I'm watching over a baby at home!' Tsuna thought miserably.

And that was true. Fortunately for him, he wasn't alone on this. Yamamoto was with him too. Since Gokudera found out about Matthew, he was insisting to come over to help. That wasn't doing much for them. Matthew just didn't show any signs of liking the Storm guardian nor his 'Uncle' Dino. If anything, he made it very clear that he didn't want those two to get too close to him.

'I hope Dino-san isn't having any trouble with Matthew.'

"Why don't you like me?" Dino exclaimed.

'You're plotting to get mama Tsuna again!' Matthew thought angrily.

"I mean what did I do to make you hate me?"

'You're constant flirting with mama Tsuna!'

Dino pinched the bridge of his nose. This was driving him crazy. A baby is driving him crazy! This is completely talking to one knowing that the child can't talk made it worse. Matthew just stared at him boredly. At first, he wasn't too happy with the blond bronco. Because earlier that morning, he saw something mama Tsuna and papa Yamamoto were getting ready for school, Matthew caught his 'Uncle' getting too friendly. And that's why he's stirring up trouble.

'Keep away from mama Tsuna. And we won't have any issues.'

"This doesn't matter anymore. Let's just, for a single minute, get along." Dino said.

Matthew mentally hummed, thinking about what the blond said. Well, he should try to. And he's putting a lot of emphasis on the word try. Since Dino came in and called himself the uncle, the raven haired boy have been causing a lot of trouble for him. Mainly because he thought of him as a threat to his current parents relationship. He didn't want his papa and mama to be torn apart.

'Okay, just this once. But if you try to flirt with mama Tsuna again, I won't go easy on you.' He thought seriously.

And that was the start of his friendship with uncle Dino. Though, he didn't really see him as one. More like an acquaintance that you would talk from time to time. Now that he has a new ally, he was wondering about his other uncle. Matthew swayed his arms up and down excitedly. Will his other uncle become his friend or enemy? That will all depend on if he tries anything on papa Yamamoto.

It was lunchtime for Tsuna and his friends. The three of them were up on the rooftop, eating lunch like usual. They were talking about all sorts of topics. Most of them were about either Matthew with Dino and the upcoming play they're having. Gokudera snorted slightly. They were talking about Dino's position as Matthew's babysitter and uncle. Tsuna leaned on the rusty fence tiredly.

"You shouldn't worry too much Tenth. He can handle himself... sort of..." Gokudera reassured.

"Yeah, the kid was the one that suggested him. If it was anyone else, I wouldn't feel too easy either." Yamamoto commented.

"That's true... Maybe I'm just too worried. I need to relax more."

"That's the ticket Tsuna. Despite doing work, school is the only place we can relax at and unwind."

Television is the best thing that ever happened to Matthew. Well, besides meeting papa Yamamoto and mama Tsuna for the first time. Dino, unsure of what to do, sat him down to watch TV. After surfing through only children's show, he dozed off on his own to later find himself asleep. So Matthew was just resting in his arms securely while watching TV. Right now, the commercials are on.

'What are they doing?' He thought.

In the commercial, it was for married couples. A vacation for them to be a bit specific. However, Matthew ignored the talking. Instead, he was watching what the two couple were doing. The woman kissed the man on the cheek and held his hand as they went onboard the ship. That made the raven haired baby think for a minute. He could figure out that doing something like that was normal for couples. But why is it that his papa Yamamoto or mama Tsuna didn't do any of that? He had to do something about it.

'Hey, wake up uncle Dino! I'm hungry!'

The three students were heading back to the Sawada's residence. They just finished looking over the script most of the day. That's what their teacher had them do. While they weren't, the female students in their class would bother either Yamamoto or Gokudera. They wanted to see if they could be their Juliet understudy. It was working very well up to a certain point: the kissing scene. After that, they both refused to continue what they were doing.

"Everyone sure is daring nowadays right?" Yamamoto said.

"I don't get why they keep doing that. It getting annoying now." Gokudera hissed.

"But you guys are really popular. I'm actually really jealous." Tsuna commented.

The two guardians looked at their boss, shocked. Yamamoto, snapping out of his, wrapped his arm around Tsuna's shoulders. The brunet blushed a bit at the action but didn't say anything. Gokudera just snorted and said being popular isn't something you would want to brag about. Especially with the girls constantly bothering you and getting a bit possessive can get tiring at one point. But for Gokudera, it was all the time.

"Don't worry Tsuna. You're popular too. You just don't know it." Yamamoto laughed.

"Baseball Idiot, don't say strange things to the Tenth!" Gokudera exclaimed.

"Well, he is to us right? Instead with girls, he's really popular with the guys."

"Don't tell him weird stuff like that!"

Tsuna smiled sheepishly. He didn't want to know why he's popular with the guys anymore. For his pride and virtue, it was best to keep it unknown. They were already by the door and opening it. When they got inside, it was eerily quiet. That made the brunet feel somewhat nervous. Did Dino take Matthew out somewhere? If so, where? That's when he heard a baby's laughter coming upstairs. He snapped out of his train of thoughts and ran upstairs to Matthew's room.

Yamamoto and Gokudera followed right behind him. Much to Tsuna's relief, it was Matthew that he heard laughing earlier. Dino was making silly faces that was entertaining the child. The raven haired baby giggled and clapped his hands, signaling that he wanted more. Dino, stopping for a minute, looked up to see Tsuna and his friends. He smiled brightly. That was something the brunet hardly saw since the blond bronco became Matthew's babysitter.

"Tsuna, you guys, you're home! Look, look! He likes me! Matthew's starting to like me!" Dino exclaimed.

"Really? That's great! What did you do to make him like you?" Tsuna asked.

"I don't know. He just does. But never mind that. Look! He smiles whenever he sees me!"

Dino moved close to Matthew, showing his smiling face. In return, the baby clapped his hands and smiled. Tsuna, dumbstruck, couldn't believe his eyes. One moment, Matthew didn't seem like he would get along with his uncle. But now, he is. What made him change? The brunet ignored the thought. He'll figure that out later. For now, he should be congratulating Dino's new friendship.

"This is great you guys! We should celebrate! Maybe he could get along with Gokudera-kun this time." Tsuna smiled.

"Yeah, Gokudera, move closer to Matthew. Let's see if he has the same reaction."

And that's what he did. Gokudera moved a bit closer to Matthew's sight of vision. Once he was in it, the raven haired baby's smile soon faded. It wasn't that he was frowning. No, he was just staring at the Storm guardian. His bright brown eyes followed Gokudera's movements. Instead of being all happy and clappy, he just did nothing. Gokudera, at this point, was feeling discouraged.

"Nope... It's just me that he doesn't like." He commented.

"I don't think that's the case. If he didn't like you, he would have screamed by now." Yamamoto said.

"That's true. He did tend to do that when you're close. Speaking of that, why does he do that?" Tsuna asked.

At that moment, almost on cue, his two guardians blushed and turned away. They didn't try to answer that question. That already gave Tsuna a slight hint of what happened between them. He mentally frowned. Now he knew why Matthew screams whenever Gokudera was too close to him and, on occasion, Yamamoto. He would have done the same thing. The brunet picked up the baby, patting his back.

'Good job Matthew.' He thought proudly.

"We'll deal with that later. But for now, let's have Dino watch over Matthew while we practice." Yamamoto said.

"You guys are rehearsing it now?" Dino asked.

"Yes, but, right now, I want to be with Matthew. You guys practice without me for now."

Yamamoto was about to protest. However, Tsuna was out the room before hearing any of it with Matthew. Dino, looking between the two guardians and the door, followed the retreating brunet. He still responsible of taking care of the child. Yamamoto and Gokudera were left alone in the room, silent. Sighing, the Rain guardia ruffled his hair and said that they should start practicing. Reluctant, the Storm guardian agreed.

"What was that just now?" Dino asked.

"What was what?"

"That! Your sudden change of attitude towards your friends."

"I don't know what you're talking about. I just wanted to be with Matthew."

Dino knew better than to believe that. He recalled what had happened minutes ago in the shouldn't have been anything that could have cause the brunet's sudden change of behaviour. That's when he got it. It was because of what Yamamoto and Gokudera did. When they were asked about the cause of Matthew's screaming, they didn't answer. Instead, much to his surprise, they blushed. That was something to know about.

"Either way, Matthew misses me didn't he? As his 'mama', I'm just playing my role."

'Of course he is...' Dino thought sarcastically.

"And I'm just, you know... restless. That's it. Nothing else."

"Jealousy is showing right through you."

Tsuna stopped his walking. His cheeks turned bright red at the mentioning of jealousy. He is not jealous. What should he be jealous of? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Dino took that chance to move closer to the brunet. He could have guessed what was going through his little brother's head. Most of it would have been denial. Well, he couldn't blame him. He's a bit lost figuratively speaking.

"I'm not jealous." He denied.

"I didn't say that you are. I'm just saying that jealousy is leaking out of you."

"Isn't that the same thing as telling me that I'm jealous."

"Well, here's a good question. If you're not jealous, then why are you so angry?" Dino asked.

That moment, Tsuna couldn't answer it. The words wouldn't come out, much less form in his head. He couldn't come up with a good answer for that either. Dino was just standing there, looking down at him. His eyes were staring as he was waiting for an answer. It grew silent. Well until Matthew cooed weakly. He was feeling rather hungry. Tsuna regained his composure and drew the baby closer. And that was the end of that conversation.

That's the end of this chapter. You must be wondering about why I am no longer writing. Well... my laptop was stolen. A thief came to my house and took my laptop during the night. The main thing is... everything (all the stories and soon-to-come stories) are gone. Because of that, I lost all my motivation to continue on. I even had to use my friend's computer to write this. Even though I'm saying that I'm not writing anymore, it doesn't mean it's going to be permanent. Once I get a new one, I will start writing again. Thank you again.
