Universe(s): Treatment Course/Canon Big Hero 6, From the Ashes/Digimon Hero 6, Immortal 7 and The Phoenix

It had been a long day at work. Hiro loved his job, he did but some days, it was a drag when it came to business matters like paperwork… or just trying to get one of his fellow business partners to settle down.

Tony's a great man but man he's getting to the cranky old man stage of his life. He really needs to loosen up.

Hiro opened the front door to his home, sighing in relief.

Home sweet home.

"Honey! Kids! I'm home!" He called.

"Tou-san!"

Hiro's back met the floor instantly as his three kids tackled him down, snuggling up to him from all sides.

"You're home!" Autumn squealed. "You're finally home!"

"Yeah, you were gone forever!" Hisashi pouted. "You promised we could work on Megabot today."

"And you would help me with my homework." Makoto gave an innocent look.

"And play!" Autumn added.

"And I intend to keep all those promises AND unload the dishwasher if your mother hasn't noticed-"

"She did." They chirped.

Hiro threw his head back.

"Rats. I did not mean to be gone so long. Mr. Stark loooves complaining about stupid interns or his wife denying him another mid-life crisis project."

"He should just let his daughter take over already." Hisashi scoffed. "'Sides, he's old."

"Try telling that to his face. He'll deny it for years on end."

"Well, I don't appreciate him stealing my husband all day."

All looked to the entryway to the kitchen to see Kathleen leaning against it, a smirk on her face.

"Next time he starts rambling just tell him to be on the lookout for flying frying pans."

"Will do. He's already carrying an umbrella for chanclas after the last meeting for new medical devices and Honey Lemon lost it on him via a nasty text."

"Serves him right." Kathleen chuckled before walking over to him, the kids getting off Hiro, allowing him to stand up. Kathleen got a sneaky look before grabbing him by the tie and kissing him. "Welcome home."

Hiro grinned, kissing her, bringing her into his arms.

"Good to be home. I missed you guys so much."

"And we missed you." She smiled nuzzling him. "Forgetfulness with the dishes and all."

"I swear I'm gonna just make a chip for Kokoro or Megabot one of these days just for that."

"If you must, the one with hands please and no vendettas."

"Okaaaaaa-saaaaan." Autumn hugged Kathleen's leg, burying part of her face in her pant leg a little, giving a sad look in her eyes. "I'm hungry."

Kathleen gasped before scooping her child up.

"Well, I certainly can't have that!"

"Yeah, I'm hungry too." Makoto joined in, Hisashi nodding.

"Yeah, I'm starved!" He gave Hiro a smirk that reminded the man a bit too much of himself at that age. "Someone was late."

"Make me the villain why don'tcha?" He ruffled his kids hair before rolling his sleeves up. "Alright, since Dad was late that means Dad cooks!"

The kids cheered at this.

Kathleen smiled.

"What shall we have then, Chef Hiro?"

He hummed in thought.

"We had stir fry yesterday and the day before that we had a roast… How about a hot pot?"

The kids cheered.

"Just like Grandma Cass makes!"

"Then we have ourselves a meal." Kathleen smiled. "Kids, how about you and I go have some fun with Baymax while Daddy cooks, hm? I mean, we'll set the table first but then we'll play, okay?"

Autumn squealed loudly, hugging her mother around her neck.

"Yes please, please, please, Okaa-san!"

"Yeah!" Makoto cheered.

Hisashi grinned.

"Maybe he'll forgive me for the thumbtack Megabot put down."

Kathleen shook her head.

"Come on."

They hurried off to the dining room to get the table set while Hiro made his way into the kitchen, rolling his sleeves up entirely and putting on an apron.

"Alright…"

Kathleen looked around until she found Baymax's case.

"Ow!"

Baymax inflated immediately.

"Hello, I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion. Hello, Kathleen."

"Baymax!" Makoto ran up to him, hugging him.

Baymax would have smiled if he could, bringing his arms around the boy.

"Hello, Makoto."

"I missed ya buddy. You get enough rest?"

"Yes, I did. My battery is fully re-charged. Are you all well?"

Makoto nodded, Autumn reaching out as Kathleen let her climb up onto Baymax's shoulder, the youngest child hugging the robot's head.

"Kya! We love you Baymax!"

"And I love you all as well." Baymax patted Autumn's head.

Kathleen chuckled, crossing her arms.

"Think you can help us set the table real quick Baymax and then maybe play some games while Hiro is cooking dinner?"

He nodded, careful not to jostle Autumn.

"Yes. I would like that, actually."

"Yay!" The kids cheered.

"C'mon then!"

Hisashi waited until Makoto had moved away before getting a hug in himself.

"I swear me and Dad are gonna fix Megabot so he's not suddenly acting vengeful and crazy anymore."

Baymax patted his head.

"I believe you, Hisashi."

He sighed happily, hugging him a bit tighter before pulling back.

"Thanks, big guy. Awright let's get goin'!"

"Please do not trip over your shoelaces again."

"That was what, twice?"

"And three times as of this morning."

So, I'm as clumsy as Dad can be. He chuckled.

"Yep."

He was careful, however, when he bolted from the room, Baymax waddling after him.

Soon enough, the table was set and the kids set about to playing with their favorite companion. Kathleen peered into the kitchen, seeing Hiro was hard at work.

"Doing alright in there?"

"Yep. Just working away." Hiro grinned, focusing on the food in front of him.

Kathleen smiled, walking over to him, bringing her arms around his neck, kissing his cheek.

"Always working so hard."

"Never taking shortcuts." He nuzzled her. "'Sides, I like helping out, Kathleen. You know that."

"And I do miss your cooking." She nuzzled him, sighing happily. "Just so glad you're home."

"Happy to be home." Hiro sighed happily. "Everything go okay at the cafe today?"

"Yep. Tomino and Acacia worked themselves into the ground a little but we managed."

He chuckled.

"Busy as usual then. Least it wasn't like the time when Acacia hadn't slept in two days."

"Silly girl and her song recording."

Kathleen kept close to Hiro.

"Sorry, just glad you're home."

Hiro nuzzled her, bringing a free arm around her.

"All good. I'm really glad to be home too. I love my work and I love my company - but I don't love either one like I love you guys."

She smiled, hugging him tightly.

"And we love you a lot."

"Yeah!"

They looked to the entryway, seeing the kids, peering in, giggling a bit.

"See?" Kathleen smiled.

Hiro chuckled, giving a wave to them.

"Tou-san should come play." Autumn grinned.

Hiro looked to Kathleen.

"Only if Okaa-san says it's okay."

They all gave her the Hamada puppy eyes.

Kathleen brought a hand over her heart.

"Hrrrk! I'll handle monitoring the food! I can't handle this cuteness!"

The kids cheered, Hiro kissing his wife's cheek before hurrying over, scooping Autumn up.

"C'mere you! We got games to play!"

"Yeah!" Autumn cheered. "We could play heroes or something!"

"Darn right!"

Hisashi grinned before he got a stunned look on his face, gasping.

"Aliens are trying to take over the city!" He yelled, pointing at Baymax. "They disguise themselves as health care companions!"

"Alright, team." Hiro grinned. "Let's get to work!"

"Yeah! Team Hamada, assemble!"

Kathleen peered in the doorway from the kitchen at the sight of her children and husband playing in the living room, roughhousing a little bit but overall just laughing and having a good time.

Hiro had Autumn on his shoulders, the little girl making "laser noises".

"Pew, pew!"

Hisashi and Makoto were rough housing a bit, the younger boy pulling his brother's hood over his head.

"Oh no, Nii-san's been possessed!"

"Oh nooo! Not Mako-nii!" Autumn gasped.

"I am not Mako-nii." Makoto did his best robotic voice. "I am Bay-oto now. I serve the Bay Empire."

"Noo!" Hiro gave his best "serious" face. "I must stop this Bay Empire. Quickly team! Glomp the emperor!"

All turned their attention on Baymax.

"... Oh no."

Hiro knelt down as Autumn ran over, jumping right onto Baymax, her hair flying out behind her.

"EEEEEE!"

Hisashi joined in from the side.

"RAWR! Release Mako-nii, Lord Baymax!"

Baymax looked to Makoto.

"You are no longer Bay-oto."

Makoto took off his hoodie.

"I'm free! Now… REVENGE!" Makoto tackled Baymax on his other side. "RAH!"

"Oh no. I have been defeated by Team Hamada." Baymax patted the children's heads.

Hiro grinned.

"Good job team!"

"Yeah! Team Hamada wins again and saves the day!"

Kathleen smiled, giving a small clap before heading back to the kitchen, seeing how the meal was coming along.

Hiro sighed happily, watching his kids play… that is until Autumn looked to him, giving a kicked puppy look.

"But now I'm extra, extra hungry, Tou-san."

"Well, I'm sure dinner will be ready soon." Hiro picked her up before heading into the kitchen. "Kit Kat?"

Kathleen smiled.

"Caught me at the right moment. Just finished."

Autumn squealed.

"Yay! Food's done guys!"

Hiro chuckled.

"Thanks for finishing up for me." He kissed her cheek.

"Anything for my husband. And I know you wanted time with them too."

Hiro smiled, hugging Autumn a bit tighter, the little girl giggling.

"Yeah. You know… I'm really lucky to have you guys."

"I'm lucky too. An extraordinary guy married an ordinary girl."

This is the life we lead now, just us and our kids.

I can't imagine a better life.

The End
