When Tomeo got back to the castle it was quiet, and he was worried. Usually he could here his wife asking for more peanuts. He quietly made his way to his room and saw his wife next to their son. He smiled, and looked at them. They looked so cute, and they were his family. Tadashi may have not known it thanks to his innocent mind, but there were actually 3 lives on that bed. His wife, Tadashi, and his unborn, and unnamed son. Maemi was so excited when she found out she was having another son. Tomeo was just as excited. One son was great, but now tadashi wouldn't be alone in the castle all the time anymore. He would have a friend. They would grow up together, play together, and most importantly rule the kingdom together like he, and his wife had. His sons would be kings, and his Daughter in laws would be queens. He realized that he had been thinking too far ahead. He looked at his wife, and nudged her. "I'm home he whispered.
She lifted up her head, and put it back down. "Can you get me some more M&M's" she groaned "I'm so famished." she added.
Tomeo Chuckled, and smiled "of course my dear."he said leaning down, and kissing her head gently. He then went into the kitchen to fetch her M&M's. Maemi uses to like peanuts before, but now it wasn't just liking them, she craved them. They had now become her lifeline, and that wasn't good, but he couldn't tell her no in the state she was in. He also couldn't blame her. She was pregnant and had these sorta things happen before, but with tadashi it was oats. Tomeo had no idea how many oats his wife could eat. She likes them made into crispies or in cookies even in bread, but she didn't eat them as much as she had eaten peanuts. Also with peanuts she only took short breaks, but when she woke up she demanded her M&M's. She never forgot, and she had probably had more 5 times as more peanuts than she had had oats in her life. Whatever the case, he couldn't say no to his dear wife he went back upstairs, and handed her the bag, and she began eating them immediately. Tadashi stayed asleep, too tired of school to do anything else.
Tomeo smiled. "We have quite the son." he told his wife.
"Indeed we do." Maemi replies
"I couldn't be happier with my family." Tomeo said
"Yes you could." Maemi said patting her stomach softly.
"Oh yes."Tomeo said "Can't forget our little one."He added.
"I love you." Maemi replied talking to both Her husband, and her unborn son.
"Me too, I love you little man." Tomeo said nudging tadshi awake. Tadashi lifted his little head before waking up fully.
"Daddy" tadashi squealed happy to see his father home. His dad though he was the king was also a scientist, and a really smart one in tadashi's eye's. "Did ya bring anything to eat?" tadashi asked
"Of course I did I ordered pizza." his father replied. "Yay! Pizza! I love pizza, is mommy gonna eat pizza with us?" tadashi asked.
"Tadashi, Mommy is going to stay here. She has her own favorite food." Maemi replied holding up her now half empty bag of M&M's.
"But in my class they said eating too much candy can make you sick." tadashi said.
"Tadashi it's different. Please tell me you ate something healthy maemi." tomeo said. "Of course I did I ate some peanut butter chicken with some fries." Maemi replied.
"Alright you heard her tadashi let's go eat some pizza." his father said.
"Okay daddy, bye mommy see ya later." tadashi said getting off the bed to follow his father.
They arrived in the dining room where his father had left three boxes of pizza from his favorite fast-food restaurant Mitza Pizza.
"Did ya get hawaiian?" tadashi asked
"Of course I got all your favorites. Hawaiian, Quintuple meat, and of course stuffed crust pizza." His father replied.
Tadashi went to the sink to wash his hands before he went to the 3 boxes that were on the table.
"Which one do you want to open first?" His father asked
"I want Hawaiian." tadashi said.
"Alright then Hawaiian it is little man." his father said Opening the box, and handing tadashi a slice.
Tadashi ate his slice quickly before asking for another one. His father gave it to him gladly.
Then his father took two pieces of pizza, and put them over his head like ears. "I am a pig oink, oink." his father said.
Tadashi immediately began to laugh. Before putting his piece on his nose,and making a trumpeting sound. "I'm an elephant." tadashi said gleefully.
Tadashi's father cut his pizza in half, and put them next to his mouth. "I'm a walrus." His father said.
Tadashi giggled. They went on like that making animals out of their pizza till they hear tadashi's mom say something about needing some form of peanuts. Tadashi's father replied with a simple. "Be there in a minute" before looking down at the box and realizing it was had only eaten one box, and they weren't hungry anymore. The box filled them up so they put away the other two boxes to eat later. Then his father told tadashi to go ready for bed.
Tadashi brushed his teeth, put on his pajamas, and then got his dad who was as equally ready for bed, and had finished getting his wife the peanuts she had desperately wanted. Tadashi jumped into bed then his father tucked him in. His father then went to the shelf, and pulled out a book that was a little worn from overuse. It was called the The Ugly Duckling. It was about a duck who was hated, and no one liked him, and turns out he was a swan, and had been misplaced as an egg. Tadashi liked the story because the swan got to go back with his true family, and it was cute. His dad read it to him every night, and tadashi never got bored of it. Especially when his dad added little voices, and made up parts of the story like when one duck made fun of him, and got stuck in the mud because he didn't see where he was going or when the duck went to school, and made friends. His dad was an expert storyteller, and that made him love his dad all the more. A soon as his dad read the story, tadashi fell asleep dreaming of happy swans.
