29 year old Ren Amamiya slowly opened his eyes on a cold January morning. He however was warmly snuggled against his wife of 6 years, Makoto. His nose was nuzzled in her auburn colored hair as he embraced the warmth her body provided. He noticed her stir and knew she was awake.

"Mornin' Makoto" he smiled as he kissed her ear.

"Morning Ren" she returned. She turned around and snuggled into his warm chest. They sat there in a wonderfully comfortable silence for a few minutes, just snuggling each other when Ren realized something.

"You know what's weird?" he asked in a loving voice.

"Hmmm?"

"I woke up on my own today."

"Me too" Makoto replied, taking a second before her eyes got big.

"It's 9 am, and it's quiet" Ren stammered.

"Too quiet." Ren and Makoto both jumped out of bed simultaneously and ran downstairs to find the little brown haired girl of their concerns happily swinging her legs on the couch watching a cartoon, all while clinging tightly to her Buchimaru. Her dark brown hair showed obvious signs of bed head. Her silver eyes glanced happily up to her mother and father. Her smile took up her entire face.

"Hi Mommy! Hi Daddy!" she smiled when she noticed her parents standing on the staircase. Their look of worry instantly grew to a look of relief upon seeing that their daughter had not broken anything or injured herself while they were asleep. After all, she was only 5.

"Good morning Maya" They sighed in relief as they finished their trek down the stairs. Little Maya ran over to her father who scooped her up in his powerful arms.

"You want some breakfast sweetie?" He smiled as he ruffled her hair; causing giggles to come from the little girl. She nodded her head while giggling and Ren plopped her down at the table.

Makoto opened the fridge to find some apple juice when Ren decided to whisper something in Maya's ear. Maya giggled again and nodded her head. Makoto turned around with a suspicious glare on her face but continued to pour the apple juice, till Ren began to tickle her sides from behind. She almost threw the apple juice in the air, but her Queenly instincts kicked in. She grabbed the nearby orange and promptly pelted him in the head. Maya's face was red from laughter as Ren and Makoto's little game continued.

These morning squabbles occurred so often that the couple kept a pair of toy swords under the sink. Their Phantom Thief skills kicking in, Maya watched in awe the epic battle taking place in her kitchen. Maya was unaware of where her parents gained the skills they possessed, she just thought they were amazing. Ren, being the leader of the Phantom Thieves, usually won their little squabbles, but today was Makoto's turn to be victorious. She stabbed Ren in the chest, causing him to grab it in fake pain. He collapsed to the floor as Maya ran to his aid.

"Maya, there is something you must know," he said while coughing, clutching his little girls shirt.

"Tell me Master Amamiya!" she giggled, having already seen that American sci-fi a bunch times despite her yoing age. He pulled her close and whispered in her ear.

"I, am your father" and pretended to die on the kitchen floor.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Maya tried to yell, but the giggles caught her again. Ren, realizing her acting skills had not come from her mother, grabbed her and tickled her.

"Alright, breakfast is done" Makoto smiled, tapping them both with her toy sword before placing it beneath the sink again. Ren got up and motioned his daughter to her seat at the table. She skipped happily and began too much on her breakfast. Makoto poured herself a cup of coffee and followed Ren to the living room to watch TV. He flipped it to the news to see what was going on as Makoto snuggled into his side.

"Well it appears we have about 7 inches of snow on the ground and it will continue to fall throughout the day."

"Well, today is our day off Makoto, why don't we take Maya to the park?" Ren asked. Makoto looked up at Ren and after pondering it for a minute, smiled and nodded her head. They turned around to see Maya smiling at them after finishing her breakfast.

Ren and Makoto went upstairs to get dressed and get Maya some warm clothes. They came back down dressed properly for a day in the cold snow. However, upon seeing the massive amount of clothes she was going to have to wear, Maya turned and ran, prompting a cat and mouse-like chase around the house. Ren eventually caught her and they forcibly pulled the warm sweater over her head. They then placed her in a pair of jeans, then snow pants. After pulling the coat over the sweater, they adorned her hands with mittens, her feet with snow boots, and a nice winter hat over her little orange pigtails.

Being fully outfitted, they made their way out to the park. When Maya stepped into the white wonderland that was her front yard, Ren and Makoto could only smile. She attempted to skip in the tall snow, only to trip and land face first in a pile of the fluffy powder. Ren and Makoto laughed when she got back up with a face full of snow. They helped her back up and each held a hand as they happily walked to the park.

The park was practically empty, aside from an blonde haired girl, her also blond husband, and their 2 year old little boy.

"Ann! Ryuji!" Ren shouted when they arrived. They let Maya go to play in the snow, and she instantly ran over to Rock, who was happily flailing snow all over the place.

Yes, Ann and Ryuji named their son Rock

Don't ask

"You guys had the same idea eh?" Ann smiled as the approached the Amamiya's. They nodded. Ren and Makoto began to laugh, so Ann and Ryuji turned around to find Rock and Maya attempting to build a snow man, and failing miserably.

The four parents laughed and decide to help them. Ren and Ryuji went to their children and showed them the proper way to make a snowball. Ren then helped Maya roll the bottom while Ryuji helped Rock make the middle. Ann made the top while Makoto took off to find materials to decorate it with. After the body was complete they had to wait for Makoto to return before they could finish it. Ryuji and Ren discussed things pertaining to their old days as Phantom Thieves while Ann decided to teach the two children how to make snow angels.

"Daddy look! I made a snow angel!" Maya shouted in glee. Ren turned and gasped.

"Oh no!" he cried, Ryuji laughing.

"What!" Maya gasped

"Jeez, now I have 2 angels, what am I gonna do?" he smiled. Maya jumped out of the hole she made and ran over to her fathers arms, while poor little Rock was stuck in his. She tackled him and shouted

"Silly daddy! I'm your angel!" he smiled and patted her head.

"I know sweetie. My only little Maya." He picked her up and planted a big kiss on her forehead. Ann walked over with Rock in her arms

"It's getting a bit too cold here, and he's just gotten over a fever" Ann sighed "We're gonna head home, you gonna say bye bye to Maya-chan, Rock?"

Rock shyly hid his face prompting Ann and Makoto to laugh

"Say bye to Rock, sweetie" Makoto instructed her little girl

"Bye bye!" Maya waved. Ann smiled as she, Ryuji and Rock began to head home

Ren cleared the snow off it and pushed Maya on the swing. As she flew higher and higher she began to feel the cold.

"I'm cold Daddy can we go home?" Ren and Makoto smiled and nodded. They took her hand in hand and walked back to the house.

When they arrived they quickly placed all their snow covered clothes in the bathroom to dry off and Ren made glasses of hot chocolate.

Shortly after Maya had finished her coco, she had snuggled onto her parents laps in the living room and fell asleep. Ren picked her up and they carried her to her room and tucked her into her warm covers. They both kissed her and said goodnight, smiling as they turned off the light and slowly shut the door. Ren sat back down on the couch and Makoto settled on his lap.

"Can't believe how lucky I am" Ren whispered to himself with a smile

"You and me both" Makoto smiled as she snuggled against him
