The Ultimate Detective and The Ultimate Hope Gaiden: A Sleepwalking Kyoko?!
"Waaaahhhhhhhhhh!"
"…I'll get it…" Kyoko groaned, hearing Makoto mumble in agreement before he fell back to sleep.
Sighing and shaking the drowsiness out of her eyes, she gingerly got off the bed and walked over to Kiki's crib, picking up her wailing daughter and cradling her in her arms as she bounced her.
"Shh…shh, don't cry, Kiki. Mama's here…Mama's here. It's alright, Kiki, don't cry…Shh, shh…"
As Kyoko continued to hush her daughter, Kiki's wails lowered in volume until they were mere whimpers. Seeing her daughter's eyelids almost shut, Kyoko decided to finish things with a song.
"Nen, nen korori yo, Okorori yo. Kiki-chan wa yoi koda, Nenneshina. Kiki-chan no omori wa, Doko e itta? Ano yama koete, sato e itta. Sato no miyage ni, nano morota. Denden taiko ni, sho no fue."
Kyoko smiled wearily as Kiki at last closed her eyes and fell back to sleep. Sighing in relief, the young Mother gently placed Kiki back in her crib, kissing her on the forehead once she whisked the blanket back over the baby girl's body.
"Good night, Kiki. Mama loves you…sweet dreams…" Kyoko yawned before walking back to bed, collapsing on the mattress next to her husband before she closed her eyes and fell back into slumber.

"Huh?" Makoto murmured, sitting up and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "What was that…is Kiki a…" Makoto looked over and sighed in relief, seeing his infant daughter still sleeping in her crib as he mumbled "Good, that clanging didn't wake her up. Kyoko, what was…Kyoko?" Makoto's eyes widened in shock as he wondered "Where…where did Kyoko go…could that clanging have…"
*Clang*
Makoto froze, keeping quiet as he kept a close eye on Kiki, only to relax as she merely mumbled and kept sleeping.
"Luckily that didn't wake her up…but that was definitely Kyoko." Swinging his legs over the edge of the bed and getting to his feet, Makoto mumbled "Guess I'd better see what she's doing…"
When he quietly opened their door and did a quick check of their apartment, Makoto came to a stop in their kitchen. He stood there, baffled as Kyoko was for all intents and purposes asleep, but still getting the eggs out of the fridge, putting them on the counter.
What the…is she cooking breakfast? But it's three in the morning!
As if to confirm his suspicions, Kyoko reached down to the cupboard below the counter and opened it. Makoto sweatdropped as she pulled out the frying pan and put it on the counter before closing the cupboard.
I guess she is…better stop her before she ends up burning the apartment down… Makoto walked over, grabbing her hand just before she could turn the knob as he said in her ear "Kyoko, honey, it's three in the morning. Let's go back to bed and you can make breakfast in a few hours, okay?"
Kyoko sleepily nodded, making Makoto sigh in relief as he led her back to the bedroom, closing the door before he helped her settle into bed. Taking one last look and sighing in relief at his daughter's undisturbed sleep, he quietly crawled into bed, snuggling next to his wife and wrapping his arms around her in a bear hug.
"There, now you can't go sleepwalking again and start a kitchen fire." He pressed a kiss to her cheek before cooing "Good night, honey…I love you."
Kyoko mumbled sleepily before falling back into slumber. Relieved now that his wife was sleeping again, Makoto closed his eyes, nuzzling her neck with his nose as he joined her in slumber.

"Makoto…wakey wakey, Makoto…"
Makoto groaned, opening his eyes to the sight of his wife smiling down at him, Kiki facing him while held in her arms.
"Good Morning, Makoto." Makoto smiled as his wife smiled at him, urging "Kiki, say Good Morning to Dada!"
Kiki merely blew bubbles, making Makoto chuckle as he sat up, reaching for his daughter as he greeted "Good morning to you too, Kiki." Kyoko eased her into his arms, watching as Makoto cooed "Did you sleep well, pumpkin?"
Kyoko giggled before she informed him "I just fed her while you were asleep. If you want to hold her, I can make breakfast for us."
Makoto's stomach growled, making him smile bashfully and nod "Sure, breakfast sounds good."
Kyoko nodded back, smiling as she hopped off the bed "Excellent, then I'll call you when it's ready." She leaned down to kiss Kiki's forehead as she cooed "Mama's gonna make breakfast for her and Dada, but Mama will be back soon, okay? Mama loves you…" before standing up straight and turning around, walking to the door and opening it.
Makoto watched as she left their room before he smiled and bounced Kiki in his grip, cooing "Hey, Kiki, I'm glad you slept well. Dada had to wake up early cuz Mama was sleepwalking and making noise in the kitchen. Dada got her to come back to bed, but it looks like she doesn't remember it, so it'll be our little secret, okay?"
"Makoto." Kyoko called from the kitchen. "Why are the eggs and frying pan already out?"
Makoto froze as he cursed Ah crud…
