It was after school Wednesday when Aunt Cass came and took tadashi to the fair like she promised him the day before.

Tadashi just loved book fairs. They were some of his favorite things that happened at his school. Once the entered the library there was shelves filled with books of all shapes, and sizes. Tadashi's eyes were wide, and he awed all the precious books, and his aunt was going to buy him some of them.

'"Okay so which one do you want tadashi?" his aunt asked

"Can't I get all of them?" Tadashi askedp

"I wish. But then other kids couldn't buy any." Aunt Cass replied

Hugging

Tadashi studied the shelves carefully for what felt like forever, then he decided on two books. One about robots, and one about weird, but true facts.

As soon as they paid for the books Aunt Cass decided to take tadashi out for dinner. She took him to an all you can eat buffet. For a small boy, he really piled his plate.

"Wow tadashi that is some food on your plate." Aunt Cass said

"Well they have macaroni, pizza, and really good chicken not to mention tacos. I couldn't just leave those there all alone. " Tadashi replied

"You are one amazing kid."Aunt Cass told tadashi

"You are the best Aunt cass!" tadashi explained

Tadashi then began telling aunt Cass about his school day. All the homework he. didn't have to do since school was ending soon. Aunt Cass listened. Smiling at her wonderful nephew. After they were finished eating they went back to the cafe, and continued working there. The employees were booked, but they managed to survive a some hours without Aunt Cass.

They finished and once again she fell asleep not knowing what happened to her sister, again.

The next day was almost the exact same except she didn't have time to take tadashi out. Her cafe was almost full to capacity, so now she had to ask him once again to help soon as he got home for school, he helped gladly, he didn't even complain, and it made her love him all the more. So did the whole kingdom. Anyone that saw him i the cafe would smile at him, and coo at how cute he was. He didn't even shy away, he even thanked them a few times. She made sure to give him extra leftovers from the cafe. He seemed to be happy with that.

After the whole cafe was once again closed, and cleaned she sent him off to bed. For some reason he wasn't having any of it. He wailed when she made him go take a bath after getting some flour all over him trying to help her bake. Plus he was dirty from helping her wash the dishes. After that he wailed, when she told him to brush his teeth. He even cried when she went him to bed. She couldn't take a busy cafe, and a seven year-old that would not calm down.

"Tadashi please you need to go to bed." Aunt Cass begged

"I don't wanna, mamma's is not coming home again, and she always does. I'm scared. Aunt Cass where is she?" Tadashi asked

Aunt Cass sighed. "I'm scared too." she said

"Really Tadashi asked, you're not scared of anything." Tadashi said

"Oh I am, the truth is your mom hasn't called in days. I have no idea where she is, or what happened. I;m scared if she's okay, or if they got hurt. The last thing she told me was to watch you. SHe told me to pick you up from school the day I was late, but other than that she hasn't said anything to me, or texted me." Aunt Cass said

"So you don't know if mommy's okay?" Tadashi asked

"Of course she is, she's a strong willed woman who knows what she is doing. Besides if they died it would be all over the news, but it's not, so they have to be okay." She said

Tadashi sighed "So when will mommy come home?" he asked

"I don't know, but hopefully soon." she replied

Tadashi wiped the last of his tears from his face."I love you aunt cass." he said

"I do too. Now that you're calmed down will you get into bed?" She asked

"No what if Mommy comes home, and I miss seeing her." Tadashi said

"You won't, and if she comes home won't she be upset to see you're still awake?" she asked

"Nope I always stay up waiting for them, well when she wasn't fat." Tadashi said

"TADASHI that's not nice, your mother is just fine." Aunt Cass said "Now go to bed or the tickle monster's gonna get you!" she said poking his sides, and making the small boy giggle.

"Oh no it's got you!" she exclaimed lifting up tadashi, and swinging him into the bed.

The little prince giggled in glee."S-s-stop" he giggled

"Oh no the tickle monster is melting." Aunt cass said "and adorable little kids are it's weakness." she added falling to the floor in what resembled melting.

Tadashi clapped. "Ha, take that you monster." he cried in victory.

Aunt Cass got up and sat next to tadashi on his bed. "Alright little prince it's time for bed." she said petting his head.

"Can you read me a story?" he begged

"Of course." she replied

He reached for the desk near his bed, and pulled out a book called the little robot."This one." he said

She gently took the book from him.

She began reading the story. It was one he got from the library a week ago. It was about a robot who was lonely because it's builder was working on another robot, and forgot about him. He tried to get noticed, but it's inventor never finished him. He was sold to a garage sale where a kid found him, and fixed him up. The boy lived happily with the robot for a while until he became old, and passed it down to his kids who passed it to their kids, and the list was endless. The robot lived ever in that family as a heirloom.

After she finished she saw her nephew sleeping peacefully. She smiled down at him. He was a good kid, and would make a great king someday. She felt so lucky to have as great as a nephew as tadashi.

(o-o)

They woke up the next day it was friday, and tadashi's school got out early on fridays. The cafe was busy so he once again had to help out.

Aunt Cass was really bothered that her sister had appeared for almost a week. This was getting to be worrisome. She had now called, and text her sister enough times that if she hadn't had unlimited calls, and text she would have been broke. On every break she was calling, texting, and stress eating because of her sister. Her sister did not answer the phone, and did not even text back. Her sister had always been on top of things, so why wasn't she now. She had no idea, but she would head to the hospital, and even tell tadashi the surprize if he sister did not come home by tonight.

(o-o)

"Who's a little cutie, yes you are, and mommy loves you so much."Maemi cooed at hiro. The baby remained straight faced until maemi's smile went away, and turned into a frown. Hiro would then have a fit of giggles.

"No hiro it's not funny when people are sad." Maemi scolded

Hiro tipped his head just a-little because he was confused. Then looked at the guy she told him was daddy.

"No, no, no hiro you need to be good, it's not good to giggle when someone is sad. You laugh when they do something funny." Tomeo said

Hiro then looked at both of them before he began giggling again. Tomeo, and Maemi just had to laugh back.

Hiro then snuggled in the little blanket that had been his companion in the freezer for days. He loved the little blanket. You could not take it away from him or he would have a fit.

Tomeo, and Maemi coed at their baby. He was small, but he had grown more hair on his head quickly. It was already black, and messy. Maemi rocked him gently.

"We love our little hiro, don't we Tomeo." She asked

"Yes and I am sure the whole kingdom will too." Tomeo replied

Just then a doctor walked in. "So how is little Prince hiro doing." he asked

"Just fine, though he doesn't laugh unless we frown. It's weird, but I think he will get over it." Tomeo said

"If he doesn't, try tickling, it might give him a good laugh. He'll learn. I am confident that you may be able to get out of here by tonight. "The doctor replied.

"Tonight, tonight?" Tomeo asked

"Yes, and well you don't have much left of today. It's friday, and you've been here quite a while. I'd say you're good to go in a few hours." the doctor said

"What time is it tomeo." Maemi asked

"Its 10 P.M. It's actually pretty late, but hey if you stay up we can be home by today." Tomeo said

After said few hours of watching baby hiro sleep they were finally ready. Tomeo was helping his wife into the car, and finally the paperwork was done. As Tomeo got in he turned on the car. Hiro was still snuggled into his mother's chest. They drove safely, and parked close to licky cat cafe. The lights were off, and it seemed everyone was asleep. That's when it hit Maemi.

She hadn't texted or called her sister the entire time. She was so busy with hiro it was only a second thought. She Opened her phone, and saw hundred of missed calls, and texts. Little hiro was staring at the scream having woken up, when the screen had liten up. "Oh shoot, my sister is going to wipe me off the face of the universe for this, quick tomeo take us to New Yaris my life is over." She said

Tomeo chuckled and just walked to the door, she sat in the car and waited for her sister's wrath.
