"Sorry to interrupt your dinner, but I was wondering--" He stopped as the mash potatoes hit him on the cheek. He slowly wiped it from his face and looked at it.

Everyone stared in shock as they awaited the thunder god's reaction. Bo' Rai Cho began go laugh at Raiden's mishap when he was hit with a piece of mashed potato in the face. Everyone diverted their gaze from him to Raiden who held an outstretched hand with a smile on his face.

"Sonya, why did you do that?" Kitana asked.

"Because Johnny would have deserved that had he not ducked, although that was slightly immature of me." Sonya said.

"Clearly it was." Johnny said.

"Shut up! You're still getting yours!" She said flinging more mashed potatoes into Johnny's face.

"Hey!" Johnny said flinging some back at Sonya.

"Food fight!" Jax yelled flinging some food himself from his fork. Soon everyone erupted into a massive food fight. It was everywhere. On clothes, hair, on the walls, on the table, on the chairs, some on the kitchen floor and some even managed to get in Kung Lao's hat which was placed beside his chair. Screams of laughter could be heard from outside the house as food flew across the table. The fight lasted for 30 minutes due to lack of food to throw.

"Good thing we ate before we threw the food, huh?" Jax said.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

"Unfortunately we've got to clean this mess up." Kitana said.

Raiden began to slip out when Kitana caught him.

"And just where do you think you're going?" She asked.

"Why I thought I'd slip out unnoticed." Raiden said innocently.

"Uh-uh. I don't think so. You're helping, thunder god."

Raiden frowned. "But I'm not the one who started it, remember?" He said pointing to the white pieces on his cheek.

"True but you helped cause the mess." Kitana said.

"Of course I'll help. But after some water." He said chuckling.

He walked forward but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see a fire raging in Kitana's eyes. Raiden could not help but stare wide eyed.

"Well this is a side of you I've never seen before. Maybe Liu Kang has, but not me."

"Raiden, please…" She said.

"Oh ok. I'm cleaning, see?" He said starting to scoop dried mashed potatoes from the wall onto a plate.

"So why did you come here Raiden?" Johnny asked.

"Well I wanted to see what you mortals were up to." Raiden said.

Johnny just stared at him. "That can't be all if you came here just for that."

"Ok, Ok. I was bored. What? What's a thunder god to do when you guys aren't defending the world?"

"Make fun of us?" Johnny asked.

Raiden laughed. "Well that too."

It took an hour to fully clean the house but it was well worth the effort for the mess they caused. Everyone left at eleven thirty pm. Liu had just climbed into bed totally exhausted.

"Whew. I'm beat." He said.

"So am I." Kitana said.

"What a crazy day. It was fun though."

"Yes, and just think it's only the beginning." Kitana said.

"Oh yeah…wow, what did I get myself into?" Liu said scratching his head.

"A whole mess of trouble, but there are rewards down the road."

"Rewards, like what?" He asked.

"Well this is one of them." Kitana said kissing him.

He wasn't really into the mood but he didn't argue. Even though it was the weekend, they would wake up tired in the morning, but they didn't care. It was worth it, despite how late it was. It was well wroth it indeed.

Three weeks later…

It was another ordinary day at the training academy. Well almost. Liu Kang's students were actually progressing, much to the delight of him and the monks. They were just happy to be able to use their water for drinking instead of extinguishing flames. Liu Kang and Kung Lao were in the middle of a lesion when a monk ran up to them looking very frantic and out of breath.

"Liu Kang." He said. "I must speak with you. It's urgent."

"Oh?" Liu Kang walked with him off to the side.

"I'm afraid I have some bad news."

"What is it?"

"It's Kitana. Her water broke several hours ago but we just received the message when now when Raiden came. She's in the hospital now. Apparently her labor is progressing quickly."

Liu Kang's eyes widened with fear. "Where's Raiden?"

"He's in the temple."

Liu Kang started to run off but Kung Lao stopped him.

"Liu Kang, what's wrong?"

"Kitana's water broke and I've got to get to the hospital now!"

Ok I'll take over and delay the graduation program. I'll put it two weeks later."

"Thanks I owe you one." Liu Kang said running off to find Raiden.

The monk walked beside Kung Lao. "This is truly blessed day." He said.

"Not for Liu Kang it isn't." Kung Lao said walking back to the class. He left the monk standing dumbfounded.

Liu Kang proceeded to run through the halls at full speed. He was going so far that he almost missed Raiden, and a few monks. He stopped tripping over a pot of in inscents.

"Ow! Darn it!" He said picking up the inscents.

"Raiden, I need to talk to you!" He said frantically in totally panic. He could feel his heart pounding against his chest with every beat.

Raiden turned around and put up his hand. "I know. There's not time to waste. We must hurry. Kitana's is getting upset with every passing second." He said.

He took himself Liu Kang to the hospital. They appeared in the middle of the hall. Liu Kang dashed over to the front desk.

"Witch room is Kitana in?" He asked.

"Kitana let me see." She said searching through the records. "Ah yes, here she is. She's in room 302, on the third floor."

The shaolin monk immediately ran to the elevator when he noticed the sign that read "out of order". He cursed to himself as he ran around until he found the stairs leading up. He ran as fast as his legs would carry him, pushing past the people along the way. He was grateful that his years of training paid off. He finally reached the third floor out of breath and out of energy. He stood at the doorway and bent over panting.

"Whe…where's room 302?" He asked to a passing nurse while trying to catch his breath.

"That's the fifth door on your right. Are you alright?" She asked.

"Yeah I'm fine. I've got years of training behind me." He said dashing off.

He could hear muffled screams. He knew he was close. He made it to the front door to see Kitana in the room with Sonya. He walked in and leaned against the wall so he wouldn't collapse.

"Where the hell have you been?" Sonya said.

"Sorry. I got here as fast as I could." Liu said out of breath.

"Well good. Then you can give her support. I'm going out for some fresh air." Sonya said leaving.

Liu walked up and stood beside Kitana.

"Hey, how are you doing?" He asked.

She immediately grabbed his shirt and pulled him down.

"It's about time." She said grinning. "Well I've been better."

"I can tell." He said chocking. "Hey Hun, can I have my shirt back?"

"Sorry." She said releasing him.

He gasped for breath as he held his neck. "Show how long have you been in here?"

"Three hours. What took you so long to get here anyway?"

"Sorry. Apparently Raiden himself just found out and came as soon as he could."

"Well at least you came. I had to call Sonya because I couldn't reach you."

"Sorry. Had I known sooner, I would have driven you myself. Besides, if I hadn't made it, you would have killed me."

"You got that right. By the way, why do your pants have an oil stain on them?"

"Oh. Well I was in such a rush to find Raiden that I smashed my shin on a pot filled with inscents. I guess it must have some oil in it. I hadn't noticed."

"Ouch. Would you do me a favour? Get a doctor in here."

"Sure." He walked out just as a doctor was entering.

"Sorry. Oh good. Kitana just sent me to find one of you guys."

"You must be the husband." The doctor said.

"Yes."

"Wasn't there a blonde haired woman here earlier?"

"Yes but she's left for a bit. She was filing in for me while I raced over here."

"I see. Well I'm Dr.Kojak."
