Thanks for the reviews! Too nice! XD
So… To answer a quick question; No, I didn't watch PRiS. And like many ranger boys, I'm pretty certain the PRiS rangers are smexy. Lol.
I also got another question about making a story where Breezie is older. That is answered on my profile :)
Kevin stuffed his hands in his jeans' pockets awkwardly as he walked to the kitchen. He left Mia in their room to have a moment with Breezie. Mia insisted that he stayed but Kevin told her that there was something important that he needed to do. Before Mia woke up, he said some harsh things to Mike and Emily and never gave them a chance to explain.
When he got to the kitchen, everyone was sitting at the table, laughing and having a good time. The laughter soon stopped as they noticed Kevin entered the room though. Mike gave him a dirty look.
"It's okay." Emily whispered into Mike's ear. Mike shook his head.
"Where's our goddaughter?" Mike asked Kevin.
Kevin leaned on the door and sighed loudly. All of the samurais, including Cody, were staring at him, obviously not happy with the way he greeted Mike and Emily when they got home earlier. "Your goddaughter is with Mia in our room."
"Mia's awake already?" Catherine turned to Ji. Catherine helped Ji care for Mia but she didn't know much about the black flower's strength.
"We'll check on her later." Ji nodded his head. He looked at Kevin. "Sorry, continue."
"Um, I came to apologize to Mike and Emily." Kevin smiled at the couple. "And thank them along with Lauren and especially Cody for saving my wife. I don't know what I'd do if I lost her."
"You're welcome man." Cody returned a smile Kevin. "I really didn't do much."
"You did more than you think." Lauren told her boyfriend and rested her head on his shoulder.
"How's Breezie?" Antonio asked.
"Did she stop crying?" "Jayden added on to Antonio's question.
"She stopped crying when Mia was holding her. I have never witnessed such a beautiful miracle in my life." Kevin flicked his thumb over his shoulder. "I should probably get back to Mia. She didn't want me to leave in the first place. Do you guys…?"
"Aw, go ahead Daddy Kevin." Emily said, already knowing what Kevin was going to ask. "We'll meet Breezie later, right Mike?"
"Yeah." Mike replied. "I don't think Mia's in the mood to share her daughter right now anyways."
"Ha, got that right." Kevin chuckled. "I'll see you guys later."
When Kevin left the room, Mike's phone made a sound; alerting him he had a voicemail. Mike brought his phone to his ear and listened to the other person on the line's message.
"Hi, Mike. This is Evany. Um, I usually don't do this especially over phone… I feel so bad about the way I spoke to you last week. My parents taught me way better than that. Uh… I hope you're okay and you're going to come back soon. I would really like to learn how to dance. That's it. Bye."
Mike smiled brightly as he hung up the phone. There was occasional sniffling on the other line (he guessed she might have been crying) but he got the message loud and clear. Evany is ready to dance again and she's actually willing to try.
"Who was that?" Emily asked him.
"It was Evany." Mike told her. "She wants me to come back and teach her how to dance."
"That's great!" Emily kissed his cheek.
Kevin went back to his room grinning. His wife is alive, his daughter stopped crying, he made up with Mike and Emily, and judging by the mood in the kitchen, everyone else in the Samurai Family is happy. Life is good. The new father changed into bed clothes and lied on one side of the bed. Mia was on the other side with Breezie in the middle.
Breezie stared at her mother. She didn't have very good memory but she knew she never met this woman. She liked this woman though. She seemed safe, warm, and loving like her father. Mia held Breezie's tiny hand with her finger.
"She's ours." Mia said in a gentle tone.
"Yup." Kevin replied.
"Our unique little baby girl." Mia beamed, kissing her daughter. "You know, you didn't have to name her Breezie. I would have understood if you named her Aquanetta."
"But I did." Kevin shrugged. "I had a change of heart two weeks ago and I figured if you lived or not, Breezie Aquanetta Terryonna De-Tiege would be her name. I just wanted to see you happy."
"Oh, well, welcome to the world Miss Breezie." Mia tickled her daughter's stomach. "Or should I call you Bre?"
"Hey, just because I named her Breezie, doesn't mean I won't be calling her Aqua."
"So what did Terry and the rest of the family say about her? Are we good baby makers?" Mia giggled but Kevin didn't. Kevin frowned, scratching the back of his head. "You didn't tell them, did you? Why?"
"Because I wanted to be sure you'd wake up in less than a month before telling them." Kevin explained. "If you didn't live, what would I tell them? Oh, hey mom, you're a grandma now but Mia…"
"Okay, okay, I get it." Mia said, cutting off Kevin's sentence. She didn't want to hear what almost happened to her life. "So we have a lot of family to see, don't we?"
"Yeah, how do you want to do it? We can see our parents separate or we can invite them over our place or something and have a mini get-together."
"I think it would be best to share the news with both families present. We can invite your parents to my house since it's bigger. Dinner party sounds nice to you?"
"Yup, it's a plan."
"Good." Mia placed her hand on Kevin's and gazed into his eyes. "I love you. From what I can tell, you did a very nice job getting Breezie through a first week of life."
"Thank Catherine. I was clueless." Kevin blushed. "I love you too. Breezie is definitely… special."
"And ours."
"You still can't get over the fact that we made her, can you?" Kevin laughed with Mia. "It takes a while to sink in."
"Shh… shut up before you ruin the surprise!"
Kevin and Mia laughed slightly louder, not wanting to disturb Breezie, at the whispers they heard outside their door. They could hear Emily and the rest of the family giving each other harsh whispers about Breezie might be sleeping, Mia being pissed at them for not seeing her earlier, or messing up a cake. The new parents could tell what was coming for them. Expectedly, the whole Samurai Family walked into Mia and Kevin's room in all smiles with Emily holding a small homemade, pink and blue cake.
"Congratulations Mia and Kevin." Kevin read the first half of the cake after Emily placed it on the end of his bed.
"And Happy One Week Breezie." Mia finished reading the second half of the cake. "Aw, you guys are so sweet! I love the pink frosting. It's a nice touch."
"Of course you would." Kevin playfully rolled his eyes at his wife and turned to see Emily behind him, jumping up and down in pure excitement. "Yes, you can hold her."
Just as Emily was about to pick up Breezie, Mia pulled Breezie closer to her chest. "Are your hands clean young missy?"
Emily pouted and crossed her arms at Mia. Kevin just chuckled and picked up a small bottle from the nightstand next to him. "Here Em, I have some hand sanitizer."
Emily gladly squirted a good amount of the hand sanitizer in her and Mike's hands. Once the liquid dried on her hands, Kevin placed a tiny baby wrapped in a big, pink blanket in her arms.
"Hi little Bre-Bre, I'm Auntie Emy." Emily told Breezie, who was looking up at her and Mike. "You're really cute and tiny. I made you an awesome one-week cake but you can't have it which is probably a good thing because I can't cook or bake as well as your mommy."
"Stop hogging her." Mike held out his arms to hold Breezie. "It's Uncle Mike's turn."
"Fine." Emily passed Breezie to her husband. "This is Uncle Mike. He's a pain in the butt sometimes."
"But he has some… golden ideas." Kevin said, bringing Mia closer in to his chest now that Breezie wasn't separating them on the bed.
Antonio chuckled at Kevin's comment. "That's my thing Breezie. Your dad thinks he's funny."
"Man, you're so small." Mike said to Breezie. Breezie made a sound that eventually turned into a cry. Mike looked at the new parents. "I didn't mean it."
Kevin checked the time on the clock that was hung up on a wall. "It's okay. She's just hungry."
"Yes! My first time feeding her!" Mia sat up in the bed and took Breezie out of Mike's arms. "Where's her bottle? I want to make her formula and everything!"
"I don't think she's that type of hungry Mia." Kevin smirked.
Mia gave him a confused look but then she pointed to her bust. "Oh, I see, she's this hungry." She began to pull her spaghetti strap off shoulder and looked at the rest of the family. "Can a mom get some privacy here?"
"Oh, yeah, um… good night." The rest of the Samurai Family hurried out of the room, giving Mia the privacy she requested to feed her daughter.
Ji shook his head at the samurais and picked up the cake at the end of Kevin and Mia's bed. "I'll just put this in the kitchen for tomorrow. We can have it after breakfast."
"Good night you three." Catherine told the family on her way out the door with Ji.
"Good night." Mia and Kevin chorused.
