One year (and a couple of days) later
A year has passed since Sukiyo's birth, and she has quickly matured into a healthy twelve-month-old child. Currently Krad is trying to feed Sukiyo her breakfast as Dark works in their shop(bakery).
"Suki-chan please open your mouth, so you can be fed." Krad pleads to his daughter, who is unwilling to open her mouth. Krad sighs
"Obviously, you want to starve." He says while placing the bowl of baby food on a nearby table. Suddenly, Sukiyo just stares at Krad then just starts laughing. Krad uses this opportunity to feed Sukiyo, before she stops laughing. Sukiyo gurgles, and most of the food dribbles onto her bib. After swallowing the portion in her mouth, she starts to laugh again, and once again Krad puts more food in her mouth.
"So…" Krad starts "Are there no more customers in the shop?"
"Well at the moment it's empty." Dark replies from behind Krad
"By the way how did you know that I was behind you?" he asks
"Sukiyo doesn't normally laugh for no reason, and most of the time she laughs when you make faces at her." Krad replies
"So, you just assumed I was behind you what if it wasn't me." Dark asks
"But I knew what was you though." Krad says turning to face Dark "Anyway, are there any other reasons why you're in here?"
" Well we are out of a lot of cakes, plus you seemed like you needed some help."
Krad scoots out the chair he's in a proceeds to move into the cooking area of the kitchen as he puts an apron on. Dark decides to take Krad's place by feeding Sukiyo.
Much Later That Day (like several hours)-
It's almost dark outside as the sun slowly sinks below the horizon. At this time Krad and Dark have decided to relax in the living room, with Krad reading a novel while, Dark watches the TV and Sukiyo. Sukiyo sits on the floor and plays with the toys spread out for her.
"Hey, Dark…I've been thinking that something might be wrong with Sukiyo." Krad says tearing his eyes away from his book to look at Dark.
" Don't worry about it, it's probably nothing, you're just thinking to much about it." Dark says still looking at the TV.
" Well, I think it's something serious." Krad says frowning "Because she is not speaking or at least trying to walk, even when we try to teach her how to do both things."
Dark turns to look at Krad frowning a bit "Maybe, she just needs some more time to develop, everyone grows at different rates."
"But, I've read that she should be doing at least one of those things at her age." Krad retorts.
"Like I said before, your just worrying about it much, like you always do." Dark says turning his attention to Sukiyo for a minute then back to the TV.
"I do not worry a lot!" Krad says frowning, then turning to look at Sukiyo. Sukiyo looks at Krad and smiles before picking up a random toy and shoving it in her mouth.
Dark turns to face Krad once again, "Yes you do, like the time when we first brought Sukiyo home, you worried that the color of the walls and the room temperature might upset her and cause her later in life to become a psycho killer."
Krad looks away from Sukiyo, and then towards Dark, blushing because he is embarrassed. "Well it could happen."
"To Who?" Dark asks smirking "Last time I checked that only happens in really creepy stories." Krad looks away from Dark acting like he didn't hear what he just said. "Well it's getting late and Sukiyo needs to be put to sleep." Krad says getting off the couch and picking up the baby. Sukiyo yawns before she lays her head down on Krad's shoulder.
Middle of the Night-
It's been some time since Sukiyo has been put to sleep, and Dark as also gone to bed. But Krad is up and awake working on finances and the like.
"You, should get some sleep, you've been awake all night." Dark says as he enters the living room yawning.
" I know, but I want to finish this, and besides I'm almost done." Krad replies also yawning while rubbing his sore shoulders.
" You said that before I went to bed." Dark replies as he moves over to Krad and starts to massage his shoulders. Krad relaxes into the massage Dark is giving him
"So, why don't you come to bed?" Dark asks
"Will, you let me sleep or will I have to beat you off with a stick." Krad says chuckling
" I dunno, but if you come to bed you can find out for yourself " Dark says as he starts to kiss the side of Krad's neck. Krad silently moans at the contact. As Krad starts to turn around to give Dark a passionate kiss on the lips, Sukiyo is heard crying, Dark's face faults.
" Looks like Sukiyo is awake." Krad says pushing Dark to the side and getting up to tend to his daughter.
"And at the best time too." Dark says sulking as he follows Krad to Sukiyo's room
Sukiyo's Room-
" Looks like she stopped crying." Dark says when he and Krad enter the room. Sukiyo rubs her eyes and then pulls herself up into a standing position. Krad looks at Sukiyo wide eyed before he turns to Dark " Dark, she's standing." He says amazed.
"Oh, yeah I forgot to tell you but she's been doing that for awhile." Dark says to a shocked Krad.
"What!" Krad says as he looks at Dark frowning
"Yeah…it happened that one time when you forced me to go check on her that one day." Dark says backing away from Krad and toward Sukiyo's crib.
"And you didn't tell me!" Krad says almost shouting
"Hey, I was gonna tell you but I forgot." Dark says as he takes Sukiyo out of her crib. "But you shouldn't be mad at me, be happy because, your hear to put our daughter back to sleep." He says holding Sukiyo out to Krad. Sleepily Sukiyo reaches her hands out to Krad, motioning that she wants him to carry her. "Mama" Sukiyo says as she waits for Krad to take her. Krad stands there stunned at he takes the child out of Dark's hands. "She spoke." Krad says with a smile on his face. "Mama" Sukiyo says again as she snuggles into Krad's chest. "Now that is something new." Dark says also smiling
"So I was worried over nothing." Krad states as he lowers himself into a rocking chair.
"That's what I've been trying to tell you, but no you don't listen to me." Dark practically whines.
"Shhh, I'm trying to get her back to sleep." Krad says ignoring Dark's whining. Dark sticks his tongue out at Krad, and then leans against the wall as he listens to Krad hum and rock Sukiyo back to sleep.
