You are all wonderful, beautiful people. Special shout-out to everyone who's still reading this.

In this one-shot, I'm going to introduce you to one of the first OC's in this story. This person is a very special character to me; literally came out of a dream. If you love this person as much as I do, there will be more future chapters starring this wonderful character, so don't worry.

"Dad." Poke. "Dad." Poke. "Daddy." Tug. "Dad." Pull at eyelid.

Tadashi groans and rolls over, still in the haze of slumber. "What."

"Dad, you said I had to wake up early today!" The small voice, even though it was just a whisper, was like an alarm blaring in Tadashi's ear. "Daddy, come on."

Tadashi sits up carefully, so as not disturb the slumbering GoGo. He finally turns to his six-year-old son, Max Hamada. "Hey, buddy," he smiles, and stretches. "Thanks for waking me up." He stifles a yawn behind his hand.

There's an astonished and somewhat hurt look on his first-born face. "Daddy, did you forget?"

"Of course I didn't, Max." Tadashi lies straight through his teeth. But what was he supposed to do when he was up a bit late last night spending a very... Memorable night with Max's mother? "Come on, let's talk in the kitchen. We might wake mommy up."

Max frowns, and stalks off to the kitchen in his white and red pajamas. "Fine. But hurry up daddy, mommy's going to wake up, soon!" Tadashi shakes his head, amused at his son's 'Holier-than-thou' attitude. Then again, Max was a mommy's boy, so today was just as special for him as this was going to be for GoGo.

This is the first year, you see, that Max actually understands the concept of 'Mother's Day'. Once he had heard about it in daycare, he had immediately told Tadashi that he wanted to 'do something special for mommy'.

"So, what do you think mommy's going to want, Max?"

Tadashi picked Max up and sat him on the counter so the two males could talk eye-to-eye. His son looks more like GoGo than Tadashi; same piercing eyes, more narrowed than wide and the same chubby cheeks, although there was argument as to whether it was more of a childish chubbiness or not. Max and GoGo also share an obsession with cars; while GoGo tinkers around, Max just likes sitting in his special chair and watching his mommy work.

"Hmmmm..." Max's face screws up in concentration. "Pancakes!"

Tadashi smiles nostalgically. "Yeah? Do you want to make her special pancakes?"

Max nods happily. "I wanna help you make mommy the same special pancakes you make for me!"

This only makes Tadashi's smile grow. "How about we make your favorite chocolate chip pancakes, and you can decorate them anyway you want to?" His eyes dart to the kitchen clock. "We have about one hour before mommy wakes up."

"Okay!" His eyes light up. "Can I mix the pancakes?"

Tadashi hesitates; the last time Max mixed the pancake batter, they had lost nearly half the bowl. "Why don't we do it together?"

"Okay. But I get to decorate them, right?"

"Of course you do," Tadashi promises, and helps Max get down from the counter. "You can wear mommy's apron today." After Max's consent, Tadashi helps tie a purple and white apron onto his child, while he puts on his own 'Kiss the Inventor' apron.

The two then spend about thirty minutes making Tadashi's special chocolate chip pancakes; a secret recipe that Aunt Cass had passed down to him. Luckily, they didn't have any major mishaps; Max didn't lose any batter, thanks to Tadashi's watchful eye (and hands), and none of the pancakes are burned.

A delicious scent wafts from a plate where all the pancakes are stacked, and Tadashi catches Max sneaking a bite from the one on the top. "Hungry?" he teases his son.

"We can't work if we don't eat, daddy," Max says seriously, and offers Tadashi the rest of the pancake. "Do you want it?"

Tadashi and Max agree to decorate three pancakes each. While Max gets busy with edible flowers and chocolate syrup, Tadashi has a hint of a smile as he writes, 'I love you, Mrs. Hamada*' in kanji on all three pancakes, in maple syrup, chocolate syrup, and finally using chocolate chips

Max makes a face as he sees the 'weird decorations' on his dad's pancakes. "What's that?"

"I'm just telling your mommy how much I love her," Tadashi reassures his son. "Do you want me to teach you how to write it, too?"

Max shakes his head. "No. I like my decorations." Tadashi looks over at his son's work. Max has covered one pancake entirely with edible flowers, drew three stick figures in chocolate syrup, and is currently drawing circles all over the last pancake. "Mommy likes wheels," he explains.

Tadashi smiles. "Yeah, she does. These look so yummy."

"Yummy-er than yours?"

"Mmm, I'm sure mommy's going to love yours more. Those are really pretty," Tadashi says. "Are you all finished?"

"Yeah! Yeah! Let's go give these to mommy," Max claps.

"How about we go and surprise mommy upstairs, and bring her down here with the pancakes?" Tadashi suggests. "If we stack them on top of each other to bring to mommy upstairs, the decorations might get messed up."

Max gasps. "You're right, daddy!"

GoGo was actually awake when her two favorite men in the world snuck out of the bedroom earlier (her son is a very loud whisperer, like his father), so she hurriedly closes her eyes when she hears two pairs of footsteps trying to sneak back up to the bedroom.

The door creaks open, and it's not long before she feels a small pair of hands trying to shake her awake. "Mommy, mommy, good morning!"

She yawns and rolls over, smiling sleepily at her son. "Hey, Max," she says. "You're up so early."

"Me and daddy surprised you!" He smiles hugely, and brings his daddy closer to the bed by tugging his hand. GoGo looks up at sees her husband holding a bouquet of daisies (obviously picked from the garden). "Happy mommy's day, mommy!"

GoGo feels a bit teary-eyed, and she has to hide her face beneath the blanket to hide her tears. So this is what being a mother feels like. She hears a bit of rustling, and Max climbs into the bed next to her. "Mommy, are you okay?"

She smiles, and reaches out to bring her youngest into an embrace. "I am super okay."

Family, family, family! How do you guys like Max? Being a nurse, I actually tried really hard to make him as realistic as possible (I am literally having a class of Pediatric nursing while I write this. Horrible of me.). I love him! Such a dear. Will he get any more siblings? How will he be in the future? Stay tuned.

* - This is a reference to the first chapter, when GoGo teasingly tells Tadashi to make her pancakes that spell 'I love you, Mrs. Hamada' in kanji.

For future chapters, I have plans for GoGo (and maybe, maybe Tadashi) getting a tattoo, Max's actual birth (but nothing too descriptive, guys!), getting a puppy, and decorating the nursery. And of course, the wedding and part two of the honeymoon.

If you have any cute ideas of what you think Married Tomadashi could do, please review or request! I'd be so happy to do them.
