A/N: I still do not own Ggundam and I also do not own "Just Another Day In
Paradise" by someone who's name escapes me. With my luck I'll remember it
tomorrow and then shout it out in the middle of Language Arts.
Domon awoke with a start. He'd just had the worst dream. He had dreamed that he had never gone after Rain after that fight they'd had all those years ago. He fingered his gold wedding band and then looked over at Rain. She too had just woken up. Suddenly a young child's shriek from down stairs pierced the early morning stillness.
"Kyoji give me back my teddy!!" their five-year-old Jennie cried.
"Don't worry Mr. Mailman," seven-year-old Mikano called from her window. "Sparky doesn't usually bite."
Domon swung his legs over the side of the bed and headed towards the bathroom. Rain stood up as well and started to go downstairs to get breakfast ready. It was just another day in paradise.
The kids screamin', phone ringin'
Dog barkin' at the mailman bringin'
That stack of bills, overdue
Good morning, baby, how are you
Got a half hour, a quick shower
Take a drink of milk, but the milk's gone sour
My funny face makes you laugh
Twist the top on, and I put it back
There goes the washin' machine
Baby, don't kick it
I promise I'll fix it
'Long about a million other things
Domon walked downstairs. The kids were sitting at the table eating breakfast in the dinning room. Rain was in the kitchen with the baby feeding his applesauce. There was probably more applesauce on Rain the in the baby's stomach. Domon tried his best not to laugh as he pulled the milk carton out of the refrigerator and took a sip. Domon tried his hardest not to spit out the milk in his mouth. Rain and the baby both laughed at his face as he swallowed the sour milk.
Suddenly the washing machine started making a clunking noise. Rain rushed to the laundry room to see what was going on. Soapsuds were everywhere on the floor. She opened the lid and saw the remainder of one of eight-year- old Danny's Lego sculptures. Some of the small pieces had gotten jammed somewhere.
"I'll fix it this afternoon," Domon promised as he grabbed his wallet and kissed Rain as well as each of the kids goodbye.
Well, it's okay, it's so nice
It's just another day in paradise
Where there's no place that
I'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the Lord every night, ooh
For just another day in paradise
Domon looked at the clock on the wall. Rain was running late at the hospital again. They were never going to make it for their dinner reservations. He picked up the phone and called the restaurant to cancel. Thirty minutes later Rain rushed in. She looked at the clock and tears gathered in her eyes. Domon gave her a hug.
"Don't worry about it sweetheart," he told her. "We'll have our special evening right here."
An hour later the doorbell rang. It was the Dominoes' pizza delivery guy. There were two pizzas for the kids and then one just for Domon and Rain. Domon walked into the living room carrying the kids' pizzas. "What are you kids going to do tonight?" Domon asked them as he set the pizzas down on the coffee table.
"Stay in here and don't bother you and Mommy," a chorus of five young voices said in unison.
Friday, you're late
Guess we'll never make our dinner date
At the restaurant you start to cry
Baby, we'll just improvise
Well, Plan B looks like
Dominoes' pizza in the candlelight
Then we'll tippy toe to our room
Make a little love that's overdue
But somebody had a bad dream
Mama and daddy
Can me and my teddy
Come in and sleep in between
A few hours later the kids were still in the living room watching tv. However five-year-old Mikano had already gone to bed. Domon and Rain slipped up the stairs and into their room. After they closed the door Domon captured Rain's lips in a long and tender kiss. As they slowly made their way over to the bed that long kiss turned into trails of passionate fiery kisses. Just as they laid down on the bed a timid knock was heard at the door.
Rain gave a little sigh. "Come in," she called.
"Mommy, Daddy I had a bad dream," Mikano said tearfully. "Can Teddy and I come sleep with you?"
Domon scooted over on the bed and patted the space between him and Rain. Mikano smiled and jumped up onto the bed. They took turns going into their bathroom and changing. Then Domon turned off the main light. Mikano gave a little whimper and Domon reached over and flipped on the bedside nightlight. Mikano smiled happily and snuggled down under the covers. Soon she was fast asleep.
Domon laid a gentle hand on top of her head. Of all the children, Mikano looked the most like Rain. He looked over at Rain and saw she was asleep as well. As he watched his wife and daughter sleep he offered up a silent prayer to God. "One more day Lord," he prayed. "One more day in paradise."
Well, it's okay, it's so nice
It's just another day in paradise
Where there's no place that
I'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the Lord every night, ooh
For just another day in paradise
For just another day in paradise, oh yeah
Well, it's the kids screamin', the phone ringin'
Just another day
Well, it's Friday, you're late
Oh, yeah
It's just another day in paradise
