This story will jump at times, so that everything moves along fairly quickly, but don't worry nothing important will be left out, I promise. :)

It has now been almost a year since Swift was born, and a lot has gone on since then. Liz and Soul are engaged, Swift is almost a year old and has learnt to crawl (amongst other certain things), and has become great friends with Dixie, she is also out of the hospital now, after spending much of her first year in there since she was premature, and had a few complications with her health, but now she's home and all healthy.
Kid and Maka are getting married soon, Dixie is now a year old and now has her white 'lines of Sanzu' going half-way around her hair, just like her Father used to. Dixie can now walk and run, can say certain words, and is learning more and more things each day (along with Patty's help). The D.W.M.A is still shut down for now, but Kid has decided to get it up and running very soon.
Black Star and Tsubaki are expecting a little girl of their own soon, and Crona has been thinking about asking Patty to move in with him (yes he still lives with Medusa and Stein and Simon, but the castle, has enough room for the five of them to live in).
….
"Swift, Swift!" little one year old Dixie called to the younger girl as she waited for Swift to make her way over to her.
Swift just giggled happily as she crawled over to where the older girl was standing, and calling to her.
"Don't tire her out too much now Dixie, we're all going to be having dinner soon, and we don't want her falling asleep in the middle of it," Maka stated as she smiled to her young daughter playing with Swift happily, as she was in the lounge with them, along with Soul, while Kid and the sisters were in the kitchen, making dinner for everyone.
"K," Dixie replied to her Mother, before she sat down on the floor and waited for the younger girl to reach her.
Swift just giggled happily as she crawled faster, and was soon sitting beside Dixie, smiling to her happily.
"YAY!" Dixie cheered as she hugged Swift happily, before she stood back up went running off, while calling out Swift's name, getting the younger girl to follow her again.
"Dixie sure does have a lot of energy," Soul thought out loud with a smile to his Meister.
"I know, and yet she still doesn't sleep very much at night," Maka replied with a slight sigh, before she smiled back to her little daughter, as Dixie stopped running and called to Swift again, as she waiting for the younger girl to crawl over to her, while Swift giggled happily as she made her way over to the older girl again.
"Dixie, dinners ready," Kid called as he came into the lounge and looked to his little daughter.
"Daddy!" Dixie smiled as she ran up to her Father, before he picked her up and smiled back to her.
"Hey baby girl, you hungry?" Kid asked the one year old, before Dixie just nodded to him slightly in reply.
"Alright come on then," Kid said as he took Dixie into the dining room, and sat her down at the table in her high-chair.
Swift, noticing that Dixie was not in the lounge anymore, sat down and started to cry loudly. "Don't worry you can keep playing with Dixie afterwards," Maka stated as she picked the crying baby up and smiled to her.
Swift looked to Maka and whimpered slightly as tears streamed down her cheeks, it was obvious that she wanted to keep playing with Dixie now, rather than later.
"Come on, first we need to get you fed, then you can carry on playing with Dixie alright?" Soul explained as Maka passed his daughter to him.
Swift just pouted to her Father as she glared to him slightly, "You really are a lot like your Mother, Swift," Soul stated with a smile to his daughter.
"As stubborn as ever," Maka commented as she smiled to Soul slightly, before they both walked out of the lounge, and into the dining room, with Soul carrying moody little Swift in his arms.
…...
Later that evening after everyone had finished their dinner, Maka and Kid had decided to go to bed early, to see if they could maybe get their hyper-active daughter to go to sleep without any troubles tonight. So Maka and Kid had already put Dixie in her bed (she has her own room now, which is next-door to her parents' bedroom), and were sitting up in there bed, in their room, talking to each other. And waiting to see if their daughter would actually fall asleep tonight (Dixie's sleeping problems haven't changed in the least bit).
"So how far along is Tsubaki again?" Kid asked as he looked to Maka.
"About 5 months now," Maka answered as she fluffed up her pillow more.
"Wow, can you imagine Black Star as a Father?" Kid asked with a slight smile to Maka.
"Well would you have imagined Soul as a Father?" Maka asked.
"Not really. A lot sure has happened huh?" Kid sighed slightly, as he looked up at the ceiling.
"We're not kids at the D.W.M.A anymore, that's all I know," Maka stated as she copied Kid's sigh.
"Yeah," Kid replied with a nod, before Maka gave him a small peck on his cheek, and smiled to him.
"I love you Kid,"
"I love you too, Maka," Kid pecked Maka on her forehead, before she turned away from him slightly, and settled down in the bed, ready to go to sleep, while Kid decided to stay awake for a little bit longer, just to see if Dixie would stay in her room tonight.
And sure enough a few minutes later, Dixie was at her parents' bedroom door, rubbing her tired eyes.
"Hey baby girl," Kid smiled to his little daughter as he saw her peek through the small gap in the door, "You can come in you know,"
Dixie pushed on the door a little as it opened more, and she walked into the room slowly, "Come here," Kid called to his daughter as Dixie walked over to her parents' bed.
Kid picked Dixie up and sat her down on the bed as he gently stroked her short jet, black (and partly white) hair, "Can't sleep?" Kid asked.
Dixie just nodded slightly as she looked up at her Father, "Swift," she suggested.
"Aww I'm sorry Dix, but Swift is sleeping right now, you can play with her more tomorrow," Kid explained as he sighed slightly to his daughter.
"SWIFT!" Dixie repeated loudly as she glared up at her Dad slightly.
"Listen Dix, if you settle down and go to sleep now, it'll be morning and you can play with Swift in no time," Kid tried to reason with his stubborn daughter.
Dixie didn't reply to her Father at first, instead she just looked away from him slightly, before she turned back to him, "Up?" Dixie asked as she reached both of her arms up, asking her Father to pick her up.
Kid smiled as he picked Dixie up and cuddled her close to his chest, while she smiled to happily, "Hey, maybe when Swift is a little older, you two could share a room?" Kid suggested, hoping to cheer up his daughter.
Dixie's little face lit up at her Father's suggestion, as she smiled and nodded to him happily, "Okay I'll talk to Soul and Liz about it in the morning," Kid replied before he kissed Dixie on her forehead lightly.
Dixie smiled brightly to her Father before he sat her back down onto the bed, "You know, soon you're going to be too big to sleep in our bed," Kid stated as he watched Dixie lay beside her sleeping Mother and curl up to go to sleep.
Dixie just smiled as she closed her eyes. Kid leaned down and kissed his daughter on her forehead again, before he also lay down in the bed, "Goodnight Dixie," he whispered with a smile, before he closed his eyes, and both Reapers were soon fast asleep.
