Chapter 4: Question

Today was Mana Walker's birthday. Nothing made the little boy more excited than this.

"Mommy, Mommy!" A dark green haired boy yelled as he ran towards his mommy.

"Hello how was your trip to uncle's office?" Lenalee asked as she picked him up in her arms.

"Uncle's office was full of papers! And when I asked him what they were he just said that those papers were unimportant and talking about it was unnecessary!" he replied as he flailed his arms in the air.

"Unnecessary? That's a big word for a 4 year old like you!" She said and kissed his forehead. The boy giggled at this.

"Mommy, I'm 5 now! Today is my birthday, remember?" he said with an adorable pout, "Don't tell me you didn't remember my birthday!"

Lenalee smiled, "Of course not! How could mommy forget her little baby boy's birthday? Now, how about we go to the cafeteria to eat?"

Mana's eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly, "Yay! Uncle Jerry's food! I love Uncle Jerry's food!"

"Just like daddy?"

"Oooh! Daddy loves Uncle Jerry's foods too? Then daddy is in the cafeteria? Yay! Let's go! Let's go!"

She laughed at her child's antics. Lenalee and Mana then went to the cafeteria.

. . .

"Is everyone ready?"

"Yup, we're ready; all's left is for Lenalee and the little munchkin to come!" Lavi replied and grinned.

"Daddy, are you here daddy?"

Lenalee and Mana then entered the cafeteria and then loud cheers of 'Happy Birthday' erupted. Mana squealed loudly and hugged Allen.

"Happy Birthday Mana," Allen said and scooped the boy in his arms.

"Where's the cake daddy?" Mana asked excitedly and looked around, "thank you too!"

"You're welcome Mana, how about let's go to uncle Lavi and uncle Bakanda? They have the cake."

"Uncle Bakanda?" The boy asked curiously. Allen chuckled.

"Uncle Yu is uncle Kanda, okay? So let's go." The two then made way through the crowd and soon, they saw red hair and long black hair. Mana got out of his father's arms and ran straight to the two.

"UNCLE! UNCLE! UNCLE!"

"Ah, Mana! My little munchkin!" Lavi said and scooped the boy in his arms. Mana then hugged the redhead by the neck.

"O-Ow! You're choking me!"

"Sorry!" Mana giggled, "Oh, hello too uncle Yu! Daddy said that you have another name! He said you were also uncle Bakanda!"

The Japanese twitched at the name. Now, there were two bean sprouts calling him that horrid name. Kanda then glared at Allen, who glared back.

"Maannnaaa!" A familiar shout was then heard.

"Uncle Jerry! Uncle Jerry!" Mana squealed and hopped out of the redhead's arms and went into Jerry's arms instead.

"Happy birthday Mana!"

Mana giggled, "I'm five now!"

"Yup, you are, mommy is already with the cake! Let's go there! I baked the cake!" Jerry said and winked at the boy.

"Really?" The boy's eyes lit up in amazement, "Then it must really be yummy! Let's go! Let's go!"

And so, they went to where the cake was and Lenalee was also there, standing beside the cake. From Jerry's arms, Mana went back to his mommy's arms and hugged her.

"Happy Birthday Mana," Lenalee told him and kissed his forehead, "Blow your candles now."

The boy nodded and instantly blew the fire in the candles. Allen went to them and ruffled his son's hair.

"So, Mana, what did you wished for?" he asked his son while the latter looked excitedly at them with a huge smile on his face.

"I always wanted a baby brother or baby sister." He replied, "It's lonely whenever daddy leaves for work or whenever mommy is busy. I have no one to play with. I'm also jealous because my playmate, John, has a little sister."

"…" Everybody was silent. The boy's request had immediately silenced them.

"So please, please, mommy, daddy, can I have a little sister or brother?" Mana pleaded and gave his puppy dog eyes.

"Um…M-Mana…" Lenalee trailed off with a blush.

"Please!"

"Allen? W-What do you think?" She asked him, blushing.

Allen scratched the back of his head and blushed, "I-I guess…we can try…"

"ALLEN WALKER! DON'T YOU DARE DEFY MY LITTLE SISTER ONCE AGAIN! I'LL KILL YOU! LET'S GO KOMURIN 100!"

Don't blame me.
