Hey everyone. I'm happy to inform you guys that this story is able to be regularly updated. I think… We'll have to see. Anyways, I'm recovering from being knocked down. So this might affect my writing for this update.
Previously on My Little Family:
Being able to be home made the Tsuna and Yamamoto feel relief. Matthew was in his own bedroom, asleep. The two of them were in the living room. They were trying to relax but found it hard to do so. They were still feeling on edge after the incident at the zoo. If Reborn were to hear this, Tsuna might need to consider writing a will. The brunet turned his head to the side. Yamamoto was lying next to him with his eyes closed.
"Sorry about today Yamamoto. I thought we were able finally relax and have fun… But in the end…"
"Don't worry Tsuna. I'm just glad that you two are safe. Though, we shouldn't go back there for a while."
"I can agree to that."
Chapter Five: Uncle Dino
Tsuna was groaning as he was walking down the stairs. It's twelve at night and he needed some sleep. And he finally got Matthew to settle down after the lion incident. He is not going to the zoo anytime soon. That's what he and Yamamoto agreed on. Now, Tsuna was going to answer the door late at night for a stranger. The brunet opened the door after shouting that he's getting it. Who in the world would bother someone so late at night anyways? That's when he got his answer. On the other side of the door were Dino and Romario. Tsuna just blinked blankly as the blond smiled at him. The brunet rubbed his eyes tiredly.
"Hey there little bro! How are you?" Dino asked.
"Hello. Sorry to disturb you so late at night." Romario apologized.
Tsuna nodded half-heartedly. He was still wrapping his head around this. And before anyone could say anything, Tsuna just closed the door and slowly made way to his bedroom. The knocking on the door began again. Tsuna groaned. He really didn't want to do this when he's like this. Yamamoto soon came down from the noise to see what was going on. He yawned deeply, covering his mouth during the process. He quickly noticed the brunet standing around with his arms crossed. The Rain guardian merely asked who it was that was causing a disturbance. The quicker they can get rid of the person, the better. Plus, Matthew could be awake from this.
"It's Dino-san…" Tsuna muttered.
"Really…? Shouldn't we let him in?" Yamamoto asked.
"That's the thing. If I do, I doubt my house won't be damaged after a few minutes."
"You know that he won't go away until he comes in."
Tsuna made a small noise of protest. Yamamoto chuckled at the action and pats him on the head. He made way to the door and opened it. Tsuna stood behind Yamamoto, looking over at his side. Dino, once again, smiled. He said his hello to the Rain guardian and rushed into the house. Yamamoto did the same as he allowed them to enter the house. He closed the door afterward and took them to the living room. Dino probably had something important to say if he was here. Tsuna quickly added that they need to remain quick. He didn't tell them about Matthew when he said that. When they all settled down in the living room, Yamamoto decided he would make the drinks while the two bosses discuss among themselves. The three of them thanked him.
"Sorry about before. Not in the best mood right now." Tsuna apologized.
"It's all right. It was my fault for bothering you so late."
"So why are you here Dino-san? Did something happen?"
"Actually, Reborn ordered me to be here and deliver you this."
Dino's hand wandered to his pocket and pulled out a white envelope. Tsuna took it nevertheless. It probably had something to do with Matthew again. He opened it and slid the single paper out to read it.
Dear Useless Tsuna,
How are you doing right now? Mama and the rest are doing fine. You're not having any problems with the baby, are you? Well, knowing you, there probably are. Anyways, I'm writing this to you for one reason. Are you going to school like you're supposed to? If not, I can see why. That's why Dino is here with you. Being your tutor, I'm concern about your education. And since you can't leave the baby alone, Dino is there to babysit. It's not an option for him. It's an order. If he refuses, I will deal with him later. As for now, focus on school. That goes the same for Yamamoto. And I expect you to do well in class. If not, be prepared for the consequences when I come back.
Tsuna paled when he finished reading Reborn's letter. That Spartan tutor never changes does he…? Yamamoto returned to the living room with drinks. He passed them out to everyone. Tsuna took his and drank it quickly as he can, slamming it down when he was done. His hand ran through his messy brown hair in frustration. He should have seen this coming. Sure, put an innocent baby with the leader of a Mafia family. Tsuna's eyes looked up to Dino. His 'older brother' was looking back at him in a daze. It's not that he doesn't trust him. It's just that he didn't have much confident of his ability of babysitting a small, vulnerable baby.
"So, what did the letter say?" Dino asked.
"Well… How good are you with kids?" Tsuna started.
"I'm okay with them… Why?
"Here…"
Tsuna gave the letter to Dino. He read it over before dropping his jaws. Yeah, the brunet wished he could have done the same thing. The blond boss leaned forward onto the table, one hand running through his hair. The only thing that he could do at the moment is follow Reborn's orders. When Reborn say he will deal with him if he doesn't do it, he really means it. And he doesn't want to get a beating from a man with a baby's body. That would be an embarrassment. Dino sighed and agreed to the order. At least he gets to hang out with his little brother and the baby that the brunet is supposed to watch. Yamamoto sat next to Tsuna's side, wondering what was going on.
"Sorry for the inconvenience Dino-san…" Tsuna apologized.
"It's okay. Reborn always have something planned out. So, what's the baby name?"
"Oh, his name is Matthew. He's my mom's friend's baby."
"And where's your parents exactly?"
Tsuna and Yamamoto looked at each other before turning to Dino. The brunet explained the situation in detail. Apparently the responsibility of taking care of Matthew was supposed to go to his mother. Out of nowhere, his dad comes back home to take her on a vacation with everyone else. So his mother, without waking him, left the baby in his care and left with only a letter. The reason as to why they didn't take Matthew was because Reborn thought it as training and to make him responsible. And here they are… Dino smiled sheepishly at the brunet. That's something the Spartan tutor would do from his knowledge of the man.
"So how long are you supposed to watch over him?" Dino asked.
"A year…"
"A year…? And when is your family coming back?"
"After a year…"
Dino was smiling awkwardly at this point. Leaving two teenagers the responsibility of caring a baby for a whole year was madness. Then again, Reborn had some part in this. Tsuna slumped over the table, ready to release the frustration. Since Matthew stepped into his life, he felt some enjoyment on most occasions. However, that bundle of joy can cause more than enough trouble. And the reminder of the zoo made him cringed. There's no need to tell the blond bronco that. Yamamoto rubbed the brunet's back to ease the building tension. It was a stressful day for all of them. And the lack of sleep was making it worse on them.
"Well, I'm here now. I'll be helping around with Matthew then."
"Thanks Dino-san. It'll take some pressure off of us." Tsuna replied.
"So…Is there anything going on with you two…?"
"What do you mean?"
Dino quickly disregard his question, saying that it was nothing. However, he was curious about one thing. He didn't have any negative feelings for Yamamoto, but why Yamamoto? Why did Reborn choose the Rain guardian instead of Gokudera? And that silver-haired male is willing to do anything for his Tenth. And he really means anything. Instead, here he is sitting in front of Tsuna and Yamamoto. He had a slight feeling that Reborn was planning something for the two teenagers. But what exactly…? Tsuna stood up from his sitting position with Yamamoto doing the same thing.
"We need to change the sleeping arrangements then." Tsuna said.
"All three rooms are occupied. There are no extra rooms left." Yamamoto replied.
"Oh, don't mind me. I'll go to the nearest hotel to rest there." Romario responded.
"So, what about Dino-san…?"
Yamamoto suggested that he could go with Romario to the hotel. Tsuna rejected the idea since the blond boss had to stay here. Matthew's room was left alone since the baby doesn't need extra company to keep up late at night. So that leaves Tsuna's and Yamamoto's room. They were considering having an extra roommate. The largest bed in the house was in Yamamoto's room. The Rain guardian said it was okay if there's another person around. The brunet, again, rejected the idea. Yamamoto's room was not near Matthew's room. So Tsuna suggested that Dino sleep with him. On instinct, Yamamoto objected the idea. But didn't voice out why…
"If Dino-san sleeps with me, he'll be closer to Matthew's room."
"I don't want you to do that." Yamamoto objected.
"But it'll be easier that way. And that's my final decision."
"How about you two sleep in Yamamoto's room and I get Tsuna's room." Dino suggested.
The two teenagers paused and stared at the blond bronco. They didn't say anything. They just stood there, eyes on the same male. Dino smiled, one corner of his lips twitched at the sudden attention. That's when he saw it. The two males blushed harshly. It was unbelievable that they did at the same time. Now he saw why Reborn chose Yamamoto over Gokudera. The blond male smiled slyly. This is going to be a fun year. Since no one was objecting the suggestion, not that they could anyways, Dino confirmed the arrangements without another word.
"W-Well, I don't mind sleeping with Tsuna. That is, if you want to Tsuna." Yamamoto said.
"Oh, sure, yeah… I don't mind the sleeping arrangements." Tsuna whispered shyly.
"Since we agreed on this, let's call it a night." Dino said.

So, what do you guys think? I hope this answers Illuminati-4's question. Okay, that's it for today. Thank goodness that there are some loyal fans out there that still waited for this. I thought there wouldn't be any since it's hardly updated. Thank you and please review.
