Marco hated court mornings in this house, Megumi would have been up the entire night before reading over the case file. Though he did chuckle when he woke up at two in the morning finding all three boys asleep on the sofa with their mother.

"Morning Monet," Marco smiled as he opened the door on Thursday morning.

"Good morning Mr Phoenix," The woman smiled as she stepped into the house at half 7, "How are feeling about this morning?" She asked.

"Fine... Sorry Megumi would of met you but she has to make sure the boys are completely ready before she is of to court," Marco told her.

"Its fine Mr Phoenix," She smiled.

A bang sounded upstairs and a groan of, "Luffy," the sound scattering of feet across ground and the pounding sound of feet Luffy burst into the entrance hall half dressed in school trousers.

"DONT WANNA GO!" Luffy yelled at the woman at the top of the stairs eyebrow raised.

"Oh really?" She grinned at Marco and shrugged, "Ok then... But does mean you can't go on your play date with Zoro tonight."

"FINE!" the boy huffed as he stalked up the stairs and took the shirt from her outstretched hand.

"Good boy," She smiled kissing his head, "Oh Monet i didn't see you there sorry."

Monet just smiled sweetly looking at the pictures in the hallway, noticing that a lot of pictures had been added since her visit. Monet knew of Marcos side of the family and she saw so many pictures of Marcos siblings and father with the three boys. She remembered when asking about Megumi's family the woman froze up, Marco explained later that she didn't have contact with her mums family.

"I will just be observing through your morning routine, this will go on until i have come to a decision... But I'm already seeing you are doing well with Luffy."

"MUM!" Ace yelled, "LUFFYS FALLEN ASLEEP ON MY TROUSERS AGAIN!"

"And the Chaos begins," Megumi laughed turning back to the boys room.

Monet would honestly say she was surprised how the family interacted in the morning, after the boys were dressed Megumi got ready for court stealing an apple out of the bowl. Kissing the three bots on the head and Marco on the cheek she was off.

Monet watched Marco as he cleaned up breakfast and got the boys into coats and shoes. Passing the boys their bags and making sure they had their lunch they all filed out one after another.

She had to admit this was the calmest morning routine she had seen in a long, long time. The family just seemed to work, she smiled getting into her own car as she watched Marco buckle the boys into their seat. She couldn't see anything wrong with this family, all smiles and cheers nothing wrong with them at all. They were just the perfect family, father was a top end business man and the mother was a top rated Criminal Solicitor.

AN: So I thought about continuing this since I did like doing them originally.
