"We're home!" Kid called out as he walked into the mansion's entrance hall, closely followed by Maka, who was carrying Dixie in her arms, while Dixie was whimpering slightly, wanting to be held by her Father instead.
"Ahh, it feels good to be back in my old mansion again," Kid sighed as he was happy to finally be back home, after having to stay at the hospital for about three weeks with Maka and Dixie, while he deeply breathed in the air of his home that he had come to love through the years.
"Kid, could you hold Dixie, clearly she wants you instead of me right now?" Maka asked as she smiled to her whimpering daughter slightly, while Dixie was close to bursting into loud cries.
"Aww what's wrong baby girl?" Kid asked the little infant, as he took her from Maka and cuddled her close to him. Dixie happily gave a little smile and stopped whimpering, now much happier that she was being held by her Father.
"She really is quite the Daddy's girl," Maka thought out loud, as she smiled to her boyfriend and daughter.
HA! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!" Maka and Kid heard a familiar cheery voice call out, before Patty came running over to them happily, with her older sister following close behind her.
"See sis I told you I heard them," Patty stated proudly, before she turned to Dixie and started to play a game of 'Peek-a-boo' with the little infant.
"Yeah, yeah," Liz nodded with a smile as she greeted Maka and Kid back home.
"Hey can I show sis what I taught Dixie-chan?" Patty asked as she looked to her Meister.
"Sure, but don't tire her out too much alright? She needs to be fed soon," Kid stated, before she handed his daughter to the younger twin.
"Got it!" Patty replied, before she carried Dixie into the lounge, and lied her down on her stomach on the rug, while she sat down beside her.
Liz, Maka and Kid followed Patty into the lounge as they all walked over to her. Liz looked confused as she looked to Dixie, who was happily wiggling around on her stomach, while she looked to Patty.
"Okay Dixie you ready?" Patty asked as she lay down opposite Dixie and smiled to her happily.
Dixie just smiled back slightly, while she waited for the younger twin's command.
"What are you doing Patty?" Liz asked.
"Just watch sis," Patty replied as she looked to her older sister for a minute, before she looked back to Dixie and smiled to her again.
"Okay, Dixie, roll-over," Patty said as she twirled her head round in a circle.
Dixie giggled a little, before she did as Patty said, pushing herself with both hands, and rolled over onto her back, and then back onto her stomach again.
"YAY! Good job Dixie!" Patty cheered for the little infant, while Dixie just giggled back to the younger twin.
"She can roll over already?" Liz asked, surprised as she looked to Kid and Maka.
"Well Reaper babies develop faster than human babies, but there's also the fact that she's a female Reaper, who are much stronger than male Reapers surprisingly enough," Kid explained as he smiled to Liz.
"Patty was doing that with Dixie for almost an hour while we were in the playroom," Maka stated while she smiled to her giggling daughter.
"So that's what you were doing while Soul and I were talking with Kid yesterday?" Liz asked with a slight smile to her younger sister.
"Yep, Dixie-chan sure is a fast learner," Patty replied happily as she smiled back to her older sister, before she looked back to Dixie and picked her up again, while she cuddled her tightly.
"Alright time for dinner," Kid stated.
"Aww," Patty whined slightly as she wanted to keep playing with little Dixie.
"Well after she's been fed, and we've had dinner, you can play with her until we put her down for bed," Maka explained with a smile, while the younger twin stood up from the floor, with Dixie in her arms still.
"YAY!" Patty cheered happily, before she passed Dixie back to Maka, and ran off to the kitchen, to go and start making her dinner.
"HEY, WAIT FOR US PATTY!" Liz called to her younger sister, before she ran after her.
Kid chuckled slightly while he walked into the kitchen (which was next door to the lounge), while he left Maka in the lounge to feed Dixie.
"Alright girly, you hungry?" Maka asked her daughter happily, while Dixie just looked up to her Mother with a small smile, before Maka walked over to one of the sofas in the lounge, and sat on it, while her boyfriend and his weapons were all the kitchen making some dinner for them all.
…...
Later that evening (long after they had all finished their dinner) Maka and Kid decided to go to bed along with their daughter, since they were pretty beat after not getting much sleep last night, because of Dixie's constant want to be in her Father's arms, while Liz had been dragged into a pillow fight by Patty in their bedroom.
Maka and Kid were happily just talking to each other in their bed in Kid's room, while Dixie slept peacefully in her small light pink cot (which the sisters had brought for her for when she got home), which was next to Kid's side of the bed.
"Hey Kid, do you think Dixie will end up being as active as Patty?" Maka asked as she looked to her boyfriend.
"I hope not, but she and Patty are quite close, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of her hyper personality would rub off onto Dixie," Kid stated with a smile to Maka, while they were both sitting up in their bed.
Maka just chuckled to Kid slightly, before she settled down, and pulled the covers over her.
"Should I even bother laying down?" Kid asked with a sigh as he slightly looked to his sleeping daughter, wondering if she would wake up as soon as he lied down.
"Try it, you never know, she might even like sleeping in that cot," Maka stated as she smiled to Kid.
"Yeah maybe," Kid replied, with an unsure look on his face, before he lay down beside Maka in their bed, and sighed again slightly.
It hadn't even been two minutes when Dixie suddenly awoke, and started to cry out loudly, begging to be picked up, while she wiggled around in her cot.
"Well that lasted long," Kid said sarcastically, before he sat up and got out of bed, while Maka just smiled to him slightly.
Kid walked over to Dixie's cot, and picked up the crying infant, "Alright shh…wow you really don't want me to sleep do you?" Kid asked with a smile, while Dixie stopped crying, happy that she was in her Father's arms now.
"Hey bring her here," Maka said as she sat up in bed, and looked to Kid.
Kid walked back over to the bed, and passed Dixie to Maka. Maka cuddled Dixie close to her, before she looked to Kid again, "Now you get into bed and lie down," Maka instructed to Kid.
Kid did as he was told and got back into bed, before he lay down and looked to Maka, "Maka what are you planning to do?" Kid asked as he looked to his girlfriend confused.
"The Doctors probably wouldn't have let me do this while we were all still in the hospital, but we're home now so it should be alright," Maka stated before she lay Dixie on Kid's chest and kissed her forehead lightly.
"Maka?" Kid questioned.
"When I was little I used to hate sleeping on my own, so I would cry until Papa let me sleep on his chest, so I figured I'd try it with Dixie," Maka explained with a smile to Kid, while Dixie happily snuggled up closer to her Father.
"She really is a lot like you Maka," Kid stated as he watched Dixie slowly close her eyes with a small smile.
"I guess, night Kid," Maka replied before she pecked Kid on the lips, and lay down beside him.
"Goodnight Maka," Kid smiled to Maka, before they both looked to their daughter.
"Goodnight Dixie," they said in unison as they smiled to Dixie. And sure enough all three of them were soon sleeping soundly.
