A/N: I actually got this idea from reading an old one-shot of mine called Secrets And Fears from earlier in this collection. Anyway, lets get on with this because I still have my Rukain to do and it's getting late. Rima's point of view!

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight or make a profit from this.


As a young girl, I swore up and down I would never have kids.

Now, many years later, I know exactly why.


"Sukie, Reiko, you get your a-" I barely restrained myself from swearing in front of my 2 year old daughters. I knew they would pick it up immediately too, they were gifted and I was cursed like that. "Get back here."

Sukie, the dominant one, made it to the top of the dresser, which sadly was out of my reach. I caught Reiko, who was born second and tends to be a follower, and settled her on my hip, trying to think how I could use her as a bargaining chip.

I heard the front door click shut and I smirked. "Honey! I need your help!" I called down the hall and listened to Senri pad down the hall. "I'm telling you, I win every time. Because I am the mother." I cast my smirk on Sukie as Reiko yawned and cuddled close to me.

"Again?" Senri stepped up to the dresser and pulled Sukie down with ease. "Can you ever get them down for their nap without me?"

"It's a rare occurrence." I looked down at Reiko as her little head bobbed, she was falling asleep. When I glanced at Senri's charge she was starting to fall asleep as well. "Quick, we need to get them into bed before they wake back up." I whispered to my husband.

Once we had them all tucked in, their blankets just so and their stuffed animals arranged around them so they could feel secure if they woke up early, Senri and I slipped away to our room for a much needed nap of our own.

"They'll only be asleep for a half hour, tops." I yawned and curled closer to Senri. "Who's getting up when they freak out?"

"I'll do it. You look exhausted." Senri ran his fingers through my hair. "You know, it's odd." He murmured in such a way I could go to sleep if I wanted, or I could listen. "They weren't planned in any sense of the word, yet, I couldn't imagine life without them now."

"Yeah." I yawned and chuckled. "I never wanted kids when I was a kid myself... but they're my daughters now and I wouldn't trade them for the world."

"I'm sure you'll change your tune when they're teenagers." Senri joked and I slapped his hand lightly before falling asleep with my head on his chest.

In our household, naptime was a staple.


A/N: I'm going to try to update these one-shot collections weekly, but I don't know if that's doable yet. I'll try though. Anyway, as you can tell they're not cancelled. I would love it if you left a review, so will you please?
