Minions

Killian and Emma's youngest daughter, Rose, is obsessed with Despicable Me, and the minions, who drive Killian nuts

Killian Jones loved his daughter Rose as though she was the most precious thing in his world, but her current obsession, Despicable Me, was driving him nuts.

Normally he could sit through any movie with her.

Barbie movies, Bratz movies, even Disney Princess movies, but the yellow minions had to be the most annoying things he had ever seen. Their constant jabbering in some unknown language with the occasional English word was enough to drive a sane man into insanity, after having to watch both the second and first movies twice in one day.

"Are you sure there is not another movie on your shelf, princess?" Killian asked, as Rose went to put the first movie into the machine for the fourth time that day.

"No." Rose smiled. "I want to see minions."

Killian rolled his eyes, "Very well then."

Rose pressed play on the machine, than she quickly ran over to Killian and jumped up on the couch beside him, and snuggling against his side. Killian, despite being annoyed at watching the same movie again, couldn't help but smile.

Rose was his fourth child with Emma, and his second daughter. Anna was now in her early teenage years, and no longer believed that hanging with her dad was cool, so subtly she had broken away and now spent a lot of her time with her friends.

A six year old Rose though, could not love her father more. She spent every day with him when she could, and wouldn't leave his side during family time.

Killian's arms automatically caged around his little girl, as though he was protecting her from any harm that may come, "I love you, daddy." She smiled, as the film began to play.

"I love you too, princess."

Rose giggled, as Gru began walking down the street. Killian couldn't believe that he was watching this movie again. And then he remembered that he would be in work all day tomorrow, and Emma had the day off.

With a smirk on his face, he sat an endured the movie, his smirk vanishing when the yellow minions appeared on screen.

"Ok, ok." A yellow one said, before hammering another minions head.

Rose let out an excited giggle, and for her sake, Killian chuckled in a fake manner, clearly not finding it amusing.

At first, Killian would admit he laughed naturally in some parts, both in the first and second films, but when Rose had announced she wanted to watch them again, he found that they weren't as funny, and highly annoying.

Killian couldn't help but glance to his wrist-watch, almost breathing a sigh of relief when he saw that Emma would be home in ten minutes with Anna, Liam and Will, meaning that either one of those three would end up in here, and then he could follow his wife upstairs and kiss her until they were both breathless.

The next ten minutes were the longest of his life, and when they were over, Emma still wasn't back. He began to feel the usual stress when another twenty-minutes went by. Rose though hadn't noticed, as she was too focused on three minions making their away around a department store looking for a toy unicorn.

Another five went by, and the garage door finally opened and Rose quickly paused the DVD machine, before bolting up and running into the kitchen, watching as Liam, Anna, Will and Emma climbed out of the family's Range Rover.

"Mommy!" Rose exclaimed, as Emma walked in, picking her up.

"Hey beautiful."

Anna rolled her eyes as she walked past, not even acknowledging Killian. Liam and Will though greeted their dad before making their way to the games room to play PS3.

Emma put Rose back down on her feet, as Killian lent over to her, before kissing her gently.

"Good day?" He asked.

"Yes, yourself?" Emma replied.

They both watched as Rose went back into the television room, before Killian followed her to the back of the car to get the groceries.

"Sorry, we were desperate." Emma mumbled.

"Do you know how many times I have had to endure those bloody minions?" Killian groaned. "Three times for both movies, and she is watching the first again."

Emma laughed as they carried the bags into the kitchen.

"Well, those minions are rather cute." Emma smiled, as she went to unload a bag.

Killian's arms wrapped around her from the back, his chin resting on her shoulder, his mouth right beside her ears.

"They are the most annoying things ever." He purred.

"Nah, I think they're rather cute. Face it, if Rose loves them, you will be seeing them a lot more. And even better, Killian, they have their own movie coming out next year. I'm sure Rose would be delighted if her daddy took her to see it."

Killian groaned. "Ah, ah. Her mother can do that."

Emma turned her head and captured his lips in a gentle kiss, which turned into a bit more passionate.

"Daddy?" It was Rose's voice.

Killian quickly pulled away, not wanting to expose Rose to a heated kiss and gave her a soft smile.

"What is it, princess?"

Rose folded her arms across her chest. "The movie isn't over, daddy. Come back."

As Rose took a hold of Killian's hand, taking him back towards the theatre room, he didn't miss the snigger coming from Emma.

"I'll get you later, lass." He chuckled darkly.

Late that night, when all four children were asleep, Emma and Killian lay beside one another, basking in the afterglow of love making. His arms were still around her, his face nuzzled in her hair.

"So, consider yourself punished." Killian chuckled.

Emma sighed happily as she snuggled even closer, if that was possible. "I feel the complete opposite of punished. I feel loved and adored."

"Good." He kissed her forehead tenderly as their breathing slowly returned back to normal.

The next day, Emma spent the entire day watching Despicable Me 1 and 2 with Rose, and that night, as she lay beside Killian, she hated them as much as he did

"You were right." She murmured.

"About what?"

"Those minions are bloody annoying."
