Alright, I have no serious assignments at the moment and I can bring my laptop to school, I promise that my updates will be more frequent.
I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
It was two weeks after Vanada and Natalia were born when Alaude said that Lal could bring them to work with her if needed; needless to say the woman was thrilled for her first day back to work.
"Are you sure they'll be okay in the same building as Iemitsu all day?" Viper asked as she helped Lal make the kids' lunch, she was of course being paid by Luce to do it…
Luce had a small cold, which is why she wasn't looking after the twins while Lal and Colonnello were at work or making the children's lunch. She was cooped up in her and Reborn's bedroom until she was better.
"They should be fine as long as I keep them away from him." Lal said zipping closed Mukuro's lunchbox.
As a joke Reborn got Mukuro a pineapple shaped lunchbox for his birthday…needless to say it was the only lunchbox Mukuro was allowed to use…the pineapple haired boy is still mad at them for it…
"I don't see why you won't just let me bring them to the base with me today kora." Colonnello said as he helped Fon with the dishes.
Lal sighed and got out two slices of bread for Ken's lunch, "Because as much as I would love for them to shoot a gun for the first time after only two weeks of being alive, you can't feed them properly and Vanada throws whatever he can get his hands on. Do you really want to deal with that alone all day?" She gave a chastising look towards the newborn being held by Verde.
"Well I'm sorry I don't have the things needed to feed them kora," Colonnello said as he tried not to step on Mr. Fluffy Wuffy Pants.
Until just a few days ago the cat had been hiding from everyone, even Luce. They would put food in her food bowl and the next day all of it would be gone so they weren't worried. Fon said it was because she was getting used to them being in a new house and that she would get over it…well he was right…
"Do you really want to bring two newborns around loud noises without their mother? Trust me; you won't be able to calm them down without having a meltdown yourself." Reborn snorted into his espresso. "Oh, and Ada is coming home with you twerps after school today." He said to the kids.
"Sweet we get Ada for the day!" Mukuro exclaimed happily, he loved when Ada came to visit.
"Aunt Lal, Natalia keeps putting my fingers in her mouth; make her stop!" Fran cried out as he pulled his index finger out of the baby's mouth for the third time that morning.
"I've noticed she only does that when she's hungry." Verde spoke as he ate, "Lal maybe you should feed her."
Lal sighed and Fon took over for her while she went to go get the little girl, "Why don't you just cry like your brother and every other normal baby when you are hungry?" She asked curiously, kissing Natalia on the top of her head gently before going to the nursery to feed her.
Lal honestly didn't care if anyone saw her breast feeding; she was just tired of Reborn wolf whistling every time.
"I'm surprise these two don't cry as often as Aria did." Viper said as she picked up Vanada. The boy for some reason loved Viper as much as he loved when Colonnello was the one to pick him up and play with him.
"We don't know who they get that from kora." Colonnello said, finally getting tired of Mr. Fluffy Wuffy Pants trying to curl herself around his legs he picked the cat up and went to go bring her to Fran's room since she always ended up their at the end of the day.
"Don't kill my cat!" The four mist users screamed protectively.
"I'm honestly surprised that Reborn hasn't killed it yet," Fon said with a soft chuckle. "He nearly killed Lal's cat when we were little." He said.
"I didn't kill it I just let it out of the house!" Reborn argued as he didn't even try to deny it. He hated animals for the most part, but he and the Mirch's cat had this mutual hatred going on that not even he, Reborn, could describe in the least bit… "After that whatever it did should have no link to me…" He said.
"You were the one who let our cat out?" Lal hissed as she came back into the dining room dressed for work with Natalia, who was dressed in a flowery yellow dress that was given to her by her grandmother when they left the hospital. "Mom was upset for months!" She said with a sigh as she put Natalia in the double stroller. She walked up to Viper and held her arms out for Vanada, who gladly went to his mommy.
"I know," Reborn said as he stood to put his cup in the sink as well as his plates. Reborn was like the others dressed in what he had slept in the night before; a pair of white boxers with red hearts on them and a faded orange shirt that had been given to him by Fon when they were sixteen.
"Bastard," Lal said under her breath, kicking him lightly as she passed on the way to the stairs to dress Vanada.
Luckily she met Colonnello when she reached the stairs and he took the boy right up and said he would get him dressed. Sighing in relief she went to go make herself a third cup of coffee to keep her up better.
Once everyone was ready to do whatever it was that they had to do that day they were out the door, ready to take over the world…literally for some…
Colonnello drove the kids to school, Lal and the twins to the CEDEF, and then went to the base himself…not before making sure that Iemitsu knew how to behave with the kids seeing as he's never around his own child.
"I'm surprised that Colonnello allowed you to bring the twins here with you." Alaude said as he hesitantly looked down at the gurgling babies.
Lal snorted and looked down at them herself, "The only reason he hasn't brought them with him is because he can't take care of certain things by himself."
"Can I hold one of them?" Oregano asked hopefully, she never really got a chance to hold them while Lal was in the hospital.
Making a face Lal went to the front of the stroller to see if they were awake or not, they had all learned the hard way that they did not like being held whilst still asleep, thankfully Vanada was staring up at her with big pale pink eyes that he had inherited from her side of the family. Natalia's eyes had turned blue, the same blue as her father's to be exact.
"You can hold Vanada, he's awake enough." Lal said as she gently picked him up. She made sure to hold him away from her hair so that he didn't cling onto it like he does with Viper. "Keep him away from your hair, he will pull it out…I gave you warning…"
Alaude cleared his throat, "Please do remember that you all still have work to do." He said just a little cranky.
"How about I just go make you some coffee…" Lal said with a chuckle. She made sure Natalia was still asleep before going to get the drink.
Alaude grumbled under his breath and knelt to look better at the sleeping baby more closely. She had her mother's hair but he couldn't tell about the eyes at the moment since neither of them slept with their eyes open like their father. "I wonder how they will act when they are older." He said wistfully.
"Want to hear Reborn's theory?" Lal asked from behind him carrying two cups, one filled with mangos and the other filled with Alaude's coffee.
Alaude stood, straightened himself up, took the cup, and grunted as a sign to say he was listening.
"He thinks Natalia will act like Colonnello and that Vanada will act like me." Lal mused as she popped one of the mangos into her mouth.
She wasn't all that worried about the babies being in the CEDEF for she knew that they all feared her in their own way so they wouldn't do something stupid.
"That seems like an interesting theory." Iemitsu said as he too peaked down at the still sleeping infant.
"Too bad we can't really tell now." Turmeric added, walking over to the group with a now sleeping Vanada. "He fell asleep so we thought it would be best to give him back to you." He gave a short chuckle as he remembered the days where he would watch over her little sister while she was working here in high school. It seemed really weird to him for some strange reason.
"Oh, just give him here." Lal said as she put her mangos down to take the boy.
"You're very calm for a new mother Lal." Oregano said what they had all been thinking the whole time. "Especially for someone who just had twins…"
Lal simply shrugged as she rocked the newborn, "I don't like panicking over little things…they don't cry that much at night…plus Colonnello gets up fifty percent of the time and actually does something other than handing them to me…the only time I actually have to get up is when he can't calm them down or they're hungry."
They all whistled lowly, not thinking that Colonnello would actually do that; but Lal never lied when it came to things like this so it was the truth.
"You got lucky Lally, most men wouldn't do that." Oregano said.
Lal grinned and cooed down at Vanada who was waking up again, "I know…I didn't even have to threaten him for the most part." She said happily.
"As cute as these two are, please do remember that you all are still at work and need to do actual work." Alaude said in a stern voice. "Lal I had Iemitsu set up bassinets for them in your office, please try to them quiet for the most part." He said.
Everyone nodded stiffly and went back to whatever it is that they were supposed to be doing.
With all the kids out of the house or over at the Varia Luce was allowed to leave her bedroom, as long as she didn't cough on anything or go into the kitchen…so she went to the mail box.
Her eyes lit up quite a bit when she saw three envelopes with their old high school logo on them. One addressed to Reborn, one addressed to Fon, and the last one addressed to Colonnello and Lal Mirch for their high school reunion.
"Oh I'm so going to get them." Luce giggled as she hid the envelopes from the four.
"Why didn't I get one…? I graduated with them as well." Verde said sounding oddly disappointed that he didn't get one.
Luce frowned and went out to see if she had forgotten anything…which she had… "Sorry Verde, I didn't grab it." She said with a smile…and then a sneeze. "I hate being sick." She whined as he made her go upstairs.
"Fon will bring you some soup in a little bit so just go lie down and take a nap." Verde called from the bottom of the stairs.
Luce simply muttered under her breath and went upstairs to her doom.
So you all got an update! Woot! I am warning you now, I have a busy weekend ahead of me but I will try to write as much as I possibly can. I have a craft fair (Another one I know, hopefully someone my own age will hit on me instead of a 47 year old man.), my 'little sister's birthday party, and a trip to the zoo. I'm going to have so much 'fun'!
