The cookies were safe and sound on top of the counter, at least that's what I thought, so I washed the dishes and went to go cuddle with usagi on the couch. He welcomed me with open arms as I curled up into his side. He placed a light kiss on top of my head, and then went back to watching TV. I did too and after ten minutes I realized that izuru wasn't with us.

"Usagi, where's izuru?" purple eyes widened only to look at my slightly frantic face. Usagi let out a sigh, and then put a hand on my shoulder.

"I'm sure he's around here somewhere…" with that I called for him.

"Izuru, come here sweetie!" within ten seconds the light pitter patter of feet flooded both of our ears. We both sighed in relief and relaxed. Izuru came waddling in from the kitchen, with an 'I can do anything I want and get away with it' look on his face. I gave him a questioning look. From the looks of it, he did something he wasn't supposed to do, and knows he will get in trouble for what he did, so I decided to ask him about it.

"Izuru, did you do something bad?" izuru wiped his mouth, looked down and shook his head.

"Are you lying to me?"

"Izuru, you better tell your daddy or else papa will step in." said usagi with a scary look on his face that made izuru squirm. Izuru took a guilty glance at the kitchen than nodded his head.

"What did you do?" without saying a word, izu pointed a stubby finger towards the kitchen. Knowing what we had to do, we both got up from the couch. Usagi picked up izuru and followed me to the kitchen. When I got to the kitchen, I found an empty box of cookies and a mess of crumbs on the floor. I looked at izuru and put my hand on my hips.

"Izuru, did you eat daddy's cookies for auntie nana?" izuru bowed his head then nodded yes. I sighed then started to clean up the mess on the floor.

"Usagi, take izuru to his room for a time out." Usagi nodded his head and walked out of the kitchen. Izuru began to scream and cry, saying he was sorry through the sobs. I had to hold myself back from going after him, because I felt like somehow this was unfair to him, but then again he had to learn his lesson. After I was finished with cleaning up, I started another batter. It was much easier now that I didn't have to go shopping for all of the ingredients. After the batter was in the oven, usagi came back down and hugged me from behind. I leaned into his hug and sighed.

"Was it wrong of me to make that call?" Usagi snuggled into my neck, breathing on it making a shiver run up and down my spine.

"No, what you did was right; just make sure to talk to him in a little bit." I responded with an 'ah', then leaned back more to give usagi a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For everything you do for me and izuru." Usagi chuckled slightly

"You do more for izuru than I do., after all you are with him more often." I thought about it for a moment. It was true that I have been more of a presents in izuru's life, but that was only natural, what with usagi becoming more popular as an author. Actually, I'm with izuru all the time and I don't think him and usagi have had much time together.

"How about, on your next break you and izuru go somewhere?" usagi looked at me questionably.

"What brought that on?" I turned around to face usagi.

"Well I was thinking about how little time you get with your son, so I thought maybe you could take him somewhere and have some fun." My attention was swayed by an awful loud cry coming from upstairs. Usagi noticed, and gave me a sweet kiss on the forehead.

"Go to him, tell him that you forgive him, but remind him that he did badly…I read that in a parenting book that my manager gave me." I giggled at the comment then made my way to the bedroom. I turned back to glance at usagi who had already found a spot on the couch and started to type his new book. No doubt, writing about what happened in the kitchen. I entered the room and I immediately regretted it. His cry's where defining and I almost thought twice about going in there, but I didn't and went to pick izuru up from his crib. I waited for his cry's to simmer before I began.

"Izuru, I want you to know that daddy forgives you for what you did, but you should know that wasn't a good thing that you did." Izu nodded his head quickly, still whimpering hysterically. Through his hiccupping whimpers he managed to speak.

"S-so-sorry d-daddy…"

"That's ok my little bear, just don't do it again, ok?" izuru nodded his head and I brought him in to my chest with a tight, forgiving hug. A few minutes into the hug, usagi called my name saying that the cookies were done and that izuru's favorite show was on, so I grabbed his hand and made my way back down the stairs. When we were down, izuru ran over to sit next to usagi on the couch saying his favorite characters name over and over again. I went into the kitchen and took the cookies out of the oven. I think they turned out better than the last batch. Again I placed the cookies in a fancy box then tied a pink silk bow around it. This time I put the box up in one of the cabinets that were much higher than he could reach.

That night I went to sleep happy, thinking about the exciting and eventful normal day I had with my family. Every time something like this happens, I can't help but think that I fall in love with them all over again. Every step I take as a parent, it's another two steps in my relationship with usagi. I can't help but think that it was the best decision of my life to marry usagi and an even better decision to have izuru.
