Heyy readers. What's going down? Good things I hope. So, how'd you like that last chapter? I know, it was very dramatic, but like I said, I had just watched the movie and quickly developed a very powerful hate for those Jungle fucks. Plus, I wanted a really cute scene between a reunited Yata and Aya. I really hope you liked it and let's continue.
So, without further a do, let's make it do what it do-
"Misame." I sighed in relief and hugged her small body to me. As soon as we arrived at Mitomi's I went straight for my daughter. She had her little black beanie on and one of her large sleep shirts. It was really late when we got there and she was asleep when I came running into Yata's old bedroom. I had yanked her up from the bed and pulled her tightly into me.
"Mama." She said sleepily. She rested her head against my shoulder and draped her little chubby arms around my neck. Her pacifier fell out, but for once I don't think she minded.
Yata came walking into the room, leaning against the door frame. His arms were crossed and he looked relaxed and yet very tired. Had he slept since I was gone? I mean I was pretty sure those fuckers had me for a good four or five days. At least it felt that way. Had he even come to pick Misa up or did he just leave her with Mitomi?
"Yata, when's the last time you got sleep?" I asked, still holding Misa to me.
"When do you think?" He yawned. "I was out trying to find you every night. Misa was here with my mom the whole time." He pulled his beanie off and scratched his head. He had dark circle under his eyes and sleep fogging his eyes. I sighed and looked at him. I laid Misa back down and walked over to him and threw my arms around his neck and held him tightly, yet gently.
"I love you." I said softly. I felt him tense beneath me and then relax. He snaked his arms around my waist and then held me tightly.
"I missed you." He said weakly and dropped his head into my the crook of my neck.
"I know. I missed you too." I sighed and petted his hair down.
I pulled away slowly and then grabbed his hand. I led him to the edge of the bed. I helped him pull his shirt on and then stripped my pants off. We got into bed, Misa in between us. Yata draped an arm over the two of us and held us tightly to him. I relaxed and drifted to sleep rather quickly.
I woke up to Misa sitting up in between me and Yata. She had her pacifier in her mouth and just sitting there. I chuckled softly and reached a hand up and smoothed her hair out. She smiled and then laid a hand over my mouth. I kissed it and she giggled. She did it a few more times, giggling up a storm. Yata groaned in his sleep and tossed a little. I laughed quietly and then carefully crawled out of bed. I looked through his old dresser for a pair of sweats. I pulled those on and tied my hair up in the small dog tail I had. (A/N: A dog tail is like a ponytail for those who have short hair).
"Come on, Misa. Let's let Daddy sleep." I whispered and held my arms out. She smiled widely and then crawled over into my arms. I sneaked out of the room, closing the door behind me quietly. I went downstairs to the kitchen where I found Mitomi cooking breakfast. She looked up from the stove and nearly dropped the pan.
"Ayame!" She said and rushed over to me. I gave her a hung with my free arm and held her tightly. "When did you get in? Where's Misaki?"
"Last night and he's upstairs sleeping." I sighed and put Misa in her highchair. "He hadn't gotten any sleep in the last few days. I thought might let him get some rest."
"I think that's a good idea." She sighed and gave me another tight hug. "We've missed you." She said softly.
"I missed you guys." I cry-laughed. "I'm sorry if Misa was any trouble. I know she can be a handful."
"I was happy to help." Mitomi waved her hand as if it was no big deal. "I know Misaki wasn't in the best state of mind and everyone was out looking for you."
"Did he ever drop by to see her?" I asked, biting the tip of my thumb nail.
"He came by around nap time everyday. I don't think he wanted to chance her getting upset when he took off again." She said, placing a plat in front of me.
"I figure as much." I said, feeding Misa.
We sat around eating and talking. After a while Megumi and Minoru came running down, engulfing me in hugs. Megumi sat on the other side of Misa's high chair and started feeding her for me. She must'v been a big help with her niece while I was gone. Minoru asked where his brother was about a million times, but I told him sleeping. Mitomi had to explain to him why Misaki was allowed to sleep in. By the time ten o'clock rolled around Mitomi had left to take Megumi and Minoru to school and I was left with Misa.
"Dada! Dada!" She cried, slamming her little fists onto her highchair table.
"Shh, Misa. Daddy's trying to sleep." I begged. She had been throwing a fit for a good twenty minutes. I couldn't get her to stop.
"Dada! Dada!" She screamed louder. "Dada!" I picked her up and started bouncing her, hoping it would calm her...but it didn't work. "Dada! Dada! Dada!" She kept crying out, blowing my eardrums out.
"Please, stop." I pleaded and prayed it wasn't waking Yata up.
"Dada!" She wailed, now slamming her fists on my shoulders.
"Misa, please-"
"Give her to me." I tensed and turned around to see a sleepy Yata. He had his hands out for her and she was reaching for him.
"Yata, you should be-"
"Dada!" Misa cried, grabbing her hands out for him.
"It's fine. Just hand her over." He yawned and took her from me. Instantly the screaming and crying stopped and Misa buried her face in her father's chest. He bounced her around for a minute and then sat down at the table. I got him a glass of water and sat down next to him. I smiled lightly and cupped his face. He gave me a small smile and then leaned in for a small kiss.
"You really should be asleep." I said softly.
"It's fine." He yawned. "But I will say this one has a set of pips on her." He chuckled lightly and took a drink of water.
"It took you eight months to find that out?" I raised a brow with a smile still on my lips. It was quiet for a minute, we were both watching her. The side of her face was pressed against Yata's chest, her pacifier moving light, the occasional hiccup coming from her. I looked up at him as he watched her with a small smirk on his face. "I missed you." I said lightly. He looked up at me and then leaned in for another kiss. This one was long and needed. He leaned his forehead against mine as we parted.
"Don't scare me like that again." He said softly.
"I won't." I sighed.
"I mean it." He said more seriously. "I don't think I can handle that again."
"Yata," I reached up and cupped the side of his face again, "you won't ever have to if I can help it." I gave him another small peck and then looked down at Misa. She was out. I laughed lightly and then stood up. We took her back up to Yata's old room and curled up with her in between us. We watched her sleep for a little while and then Yata fell asleep.
I laughed to myself when I saw the similarities between the two. Misa slept like her dad. She had her mouth open slightly like Yata normally did and an arm stretched out like him too. I compared more than their sleeping habits. I carried this kid around for nearly nine months and somehow she came out looking just like her dad. She had his hair, his skin tone, his smile, his eyes, his nose, his everything. The kid got my gender and maybe my full lips, but that was about it. A lot of people say she looks like me, and then Yata walks in the room and they immediately change their minds. It fucking mind blowing. Now, I will say she got her temper from the both of us and she had no chance to come out a calm kid with us as her parents. I was surprised her first word was 'Dada' and not a curse word.
It was peaceful and quiet in the room...until Yata's watch went off. I grabbed it off the dresser and answered it.
"Hello?" I whispered.
"Aya? Where's Yata?" Rikio.
"Asleep with the baby." I whispered again got up. "Hold on." I said and quietly exited the room. "What's up?" I asked in a normal tone.
"You guys didn't come back to HOMRA last night and-"
"We fell asleep at Yata's mom's house." I cut him off. "Why? Is something wrong?"
"Anna was just worried and I think she wants everyone at HOMRA." He said. "You know, just as a precaution."
"Well, can we just come back tonight? I want him to get some sleep." I sighed and looked back at the door.
"I don't know, Aya. I think she wants everyone here like now." He said.
"Alight. We'll be there soon." I groaned and hung up. I walked back into the room and shook Yata's shoulders.
"Hm?" He grumbled and looked up. "What's wrong?" He said thick with sleep and went to sit up.
"Anna wants everyone back at HOMRA. Precautionary." I sighed and pushed his hair back. "I told Rikio we'd be there soon. I tried to get us a few more hours, but he said she wants everyone there like now."
"M'kay. Let me get dressed and we'll go." He groaned and got up.
I changed back into my own pants and slipped my shoes back on. I helped Yata put his jacket on and then I went to put some clothes on Misa without waking her. I got some sweatpants and jacket on her, but she started tossing when I tried putting shoes on her. I gave up after about five tried and just told Yata we were just going to have to carry her. Yata put her beanie on and pulled her hood on while I grabbed her bag and other belongings from downstairs. Yata grabbed his board and I knocked my shoes together as we exited the house. Yata carried Misa as he skateboarded back to HOMRA. I kept an eye out just in case I had to act fast and grab her if he lost balance.
We walked into the bar, which was super fucking loud, and took Misa up to her room immediately. She tossed for a minute, but quickly drifted back off. We walked downstairs and kept going down the basement where they had the giant TV and the couch. Yata laid out on the couch, holding me close to him. A few of the guys in the room acknowledged us for a second, but turned back to the movie they were watching. About mid movie I heard Yata's soft snores in my ear. His arms tightened their hold around me and he pulled me closer subconsciously. I intertwined my finger with his that laid on my stomach and curled into him. About an hour or two later Kusanagi came down, tapping me on the shoulder.
"Hm?" I looked up, trying not to disturb Yata.
"Misa's awake." He said lowly.
"Alright." I sighed and carefully wiggled my way out of Yata's grip. I made sure he didn't wake up then quietly went back up to the 'third' story.
When I opened Misa's door she was up, bouncing on here chubby little legs. She was crying of course. I picked her up and went to make her a bottle, but when I offered it to her she pushed it away and kept crying. I changed her. It did nothing. Tried burping her and that didn't work. Playing with her didn't help and singing to her didn't do anything. She just kept wailing and I think I knew why.
I walked downstairs, her still screaming in my ear. I didn't stop when everyone stared at me when I came into the bar and I went straight down to the basement. Some of the guys groaned when they heard her screaming, but I flipped them off and they shut up. I shook Yata's shoulders and he opened an eye. He looked at me and then Misa. He sighed and then reached up for her. I handed her over and what do you know. She stopped crying. Damn the daddy's girl thing. Why was he so much better than me? I just didn't get it. I went back upstairs to the bar and flopped down on the couch. I pinched the bridge of my nose and groaned.
"She want her dad?" Kusanagi asked.
"I just don't get it!" I flung my hands up. "I mean I carried her around inside of me with her constantly kicking for nearly nine months and she comes out not only looking like him, but preferring him. Over me!"
"She's just a daddy's girl." He sighed, cleaning out a glass.
"She's just fucking like him." I scoffed and groaned. "I have to deal with the screaming and crying, but as soon as he picks her up it's like some fucking magical peace that comes over her."
"It won't always be like that." Kusanagi smirked. "One day she's going to have boy problems and she's going to want mom."
"Oh great. I get her in the bratty teen phase." I raked a hand through my hair and then rubbed my face. "Being a mom is freaking hard." I whined and looked over to the smirking Kusanagi. I lightened up and then sighed, "I'm so dramatic."
"Really? I hadn't noticed." He mocked. Suddenly my freaking awesome husband and well behaved daughter came up from the basement, sleep still in his eyes and tears still glistening in her's.
"Aya," He groaned, "take your daughter."
"Now she's my daughter." I teased. "What? Dad's touch didn't work this time?" I asked and stood up.
"She's fucking teething again and she keeps biting down on my fucking finger." He snapped and handed her over.
"Where's her teething ring?" I asked, bouncing a now upset baby.
"Right here." Kusanagi said, pulling it out of the freezer.
"Thank you." I said and took it from him. I held it in front of her, playing with it for a second and then she took it, immediately putting it in her mouth like she did everything. The crying had stopped and it was silent. "There ya go. Crying and biting has thou stopped." I sighed and handed her back over.
"It must be easy being the mom." Yata yawned. I looked over to Kusanagi who was smiling and shaking his head.
"Yeah," I rolled my eyes, "super easy."
I showered pretty quickly that night, enjoying the feeling of actual hot water. I was brushing my hair out when Yata had come into the room with a bed ready Misa. She had one of her little sweat shirts on and some fuzzy bottoms I'm sure Mitomi bought her. She kicked her little legs and reached out for me when she spotted me on the bed. I grabbed her and let Yata flop down on the bed. I was bounced up a little as a result, but Misa found it funny. I blew on her tummy, making her giggle some more. I sat criss-cross on the bed and Yata was laying on his side behind me, my back against his stomach. I reached up and bopped Misa on the nose and gave her a funny look that set her off on a fit of giggles. It was a pretty peaceful moment.
I put her down in my lap and she buried her face into my shirt. She looked up and saw her dad. He made a funny face and she hid her face back into my shirt. It went like this for a few minutes. It was pretty cute. I petted her hair back as she played with her dad, giggling away. After a few more minutes she rubbed her face in my shirt and yawned. Her little fists grabbed tightly on Yata's t-shirt that I was wearing and she pushed her head hard against my ribs.
"Ok, it bed time for a certain baby." I smirked and let Yata give her a kiss. I adjusted her in my arms and then went to put her in her room. She was already out by the time I laid her down in her crib. I covered her with her favorite black blanket and put her favorite little plush in her arms. I watched her for a minute, until I felt two arms snake around my waist.
"Still hard to believe we made that." Yata said lowly in my ear, looking down at her.
"Really? Did you not see the fit she threw today?" I laughed and turned to face him. "She is one hundred percent us."
He gave me a smirk and then pecked my lips. "Making her was fun." I rolled my eyed and smack his arm. I ducked under his arms and went to her closet. I started getting her clothes for the next day ready when Yata's hands grabbed my hips. He pulled me into him and started kissing my neck softly.
"What are you doing?" I chuckled, bopping him on the head with one of the hangers.
"Trying to get my wife in the mood." He muttered against my skin and started groping my hips.
"Yata, we are in our daughter's room." I reminded him and continued what I was doing.
"Ok." He said and then in one swift motion I was over his shoulder and we were walking out Misa's room. He shut the door behind me and with me demanded he put me down, he walked right to our room. He threw me down on the bed and climbed over me.
"Yata, I was trying to get Misame's things ready for tomorrow." I groaned and pushed at his shoulder.
"Do it in the morning." He said and kissed the other side of my neck.
"Yata-"
"I need attention too." He said and looked me in the eyes. "You were gone five days. I missed you." He said and placed his head against mine, staring me in the eyes.
I groaned and caved. "You're so needy." I teased and he smirked. He went back to attacking my neck, making me laugh when he'd hit a ticklish spot.
The next morning I woke up extremely happy and curled up next to Yata. I had to really force myself up and out of his arms to go and get Misa's things ready. I contemplated just staying in bed and taking another lazy day, but I had a feeling Yata was probably going to be sent on another assignment. So, I got up and got his things ready to. I had Misa up and ready before I even bothered trying to wake up Yata. I sat Misa next to his face and let her go at it.
"Dada!" She cheered happily and repeatedly hitting her plush toy on his face. "Dada! Dada! Dada!" She kept going and kept hitting. I just stood back and watched while trying to keep my laughing down. "Dada! Dada! Dada! Dada!"
"Ayame," He groaned.
"What, dear?" I stiffed a laugh.
"Get your daughter." He muttered against his pillow, his eyes still closed.
"Dada! Dada! Dada!" Misa chanted and continued hitting her dad on the head with his plushy.
"You know, I think she's really wanting her dad." I mocked. He opened his eyes and then groaned.
"What are you doing, fireball?" He smile and chuckled, poking Misa in the belly.
"Dada! Up!" Misa laughed.
"Alright. I hear ya." He groaned playfully and sat up. "Aya, throw me my-" I threw his sweatpants at him, which hit his face and cut him off. That's when I lost it. I started laughing hard. I squeaked when I felt myself being lifted off the ground, but I kept on laughing. I was flung onto the bed and then Yata flopped on top of me.
"Yata," I gasped through laughs, "get off of me!"
"Nope." He shook his head.
"Please!" I cried out, tears from laughing rolling down my cheeks.
"No way in hell." He said.
Misa was cracking up next to us. Yata looked over at her and scooped her up. He started tickling her tummy, making her laugh harder. He pulled me into a bear hug and held us both tightly, all of us laughing. It didn't settle down for awhile. But when it did Misa was still on the bed laughing while Yata and I went back and forth playing with her while we got dressed. It was a pretty good morning.
We raced downstairs, Misa giggling the whole way down. As soon as we got to the bar Kusanagi put our plats out on the bar and Rikio took Misa from Yata so we could eat. We watched at him and the guys played with her, keeping her entertained with little things like making butterflies from their fire or just sparking little flames and then putting them out. No matter what they did she giggled and clapped her hands together. Anna even sat down and played with her a little. It was just a really good start to a really good day.
