Okay, here's the next chapter to this story! Anyway, enjoy!

The next morning, everyone was up pretty early as Milo was slowly getting up, seeing the usual crashed tree in his living room, not in the least bit acting surprised. It was the second tree, however, that surprised him. Before he could question it, he suddenly heard the slight cooing of a sweet little girl as he turned towards the crib that was in his room. There was sweet innocent little Melody, who was urged to want out of the crib.

Milo gave a small smile as he walked over and picked up the little girl from her crib as he said, "Morning, little Melody. Sleep well?"

The girl gave a giggle as she clung on to the boy happily before looking around curiously. "Momma?"

Milo looked a little confused, before suddenly remembering that Melissa was supposed to be the 'mom'. "Mommy had to leave for an errand for a while, but I'm sure she'll be back soon. I guarantee it. How about breakfast, huh?"

Melody gave a nod as she started to giggle. Milo nodded as he grabbed the backpack, before Melody hopped inside happily, clinging on. Milo couldn't help but shake his head as he carried the sweet little girl out of the living room.

"Well, I have to admit one thing." Brigette started to say upon seeing Milo feeding the fussy Melody. "He certainly knows what he's doing with kids."

Sara gave a giggle. "I certainly think it's sweet."

"Come on, Melody, you've got to cooperate with me." Milo gave a small laugh as Melody giggled. Smirking, he put the spoon in Melody's mouth as she ate the spoonful of soft food that was in her mouth, before giving a happy grin, clapping her hands. Milo paused as he said, "Well, at least I can say that I have better experience in this than last time."

"Glad you-" Martin started to talk, before his eyes widened. "Last time? What do you mean, last time?"

Milo yelped as he realized his slip-up and chuckled nervously. "It's a rather long story. You see-"

But before Milo could talk any further, digging the grave he started, the phone rang on the hook as Milo gave a smile. "Oh, that must be Melissa! I better answer the phone!"

"Okay, but we're getting back to this conversation..." Martin said as Milo ran over to the phone and picked it up.

"Hello?" Milo paused.

"Hey, Milo." Melissa's voice said over the phone, before pausing in a sad sigh.

"What's wrong? You don't seem to be in a cheery mood." Milo paused.

"Well, I talked with my Dad, and I told him that he and I need to meet with all of you as soon as possible... preferably this morning." Melissa gave a sigh.

Milo smiled. "Oh, so you told him about the baby girl we have."

"Not... exactly." Melissa sighed. "Listen, Milo, I think it's best that Melody stays at your house. The last thing he needs is a heart attack upon learning he became a grandpa at an early age."

Milo paused a little bit in confusion, before his eyes widened. "Oh yeah, your dad's not ENTIRELY a fan of me..."

"I know he trusts you and he thinks you mean well... but if he learned about this kid, he is going to go ballistic!" Melissa said nervously. "I hear him in the other room, muttering about what you and your family could possibly want to talk to him about. So, I just want you and the family to come over and try to ease up on the news a little bit, okay? Just go over and tell him gently about the new Murphy family member. Okay?"

Milo paused as he looked over towards his family, Martin and Brigette patting the little girl on the head as Sara was cooing and having an easier time feeding the baby girl. Milo nodded as he said, "We'll be right over. Just tell him to expect us at nine o'clock."

"Nine, got it. See you later, Milo." Melissa's voice said as she hung up the phone.

Milo nodded as he put the phone on the receiver as he turned to his family, all of them looking over as Milo sighed, "That was Melissa, she says she wants to meet with all of us regarding... the little guest in our room."

"Oh!" Sara smiled. "So, are we taking little Mel with us?"

"Not exa-" Milo stopped himself as he looked at Sara. "Did you just call her 'Mel'?"

"It's short for Melody, so why not?" Sara giggled as she turned to the young female Murphy and ticked her belly, making her laugh. "You're such a cutie, little Melody, yes you are!"

"Auntie Sawa, ha ha ha!" The girl giggled as she held her stomach.

"Awww..." Sara's eyes widened in happiness as Milo sighed.

"As I was saying, Melissa didn't tell her dad about Melody. Apparantly… that's going to be our job." Milo gave a sigh as he looked over at her. "Meaning she'll have to stay in the house until further notice."

Martin paused as he said, "But who's going to look after her while we're away?"

A toilet flushing was heard from upstairs as everyone looked over to see Doofenshmirtz running downstairs and pausing. "Oh, uh, don't go in there for two hours. I already placed a scented candle in there..."

Milo paused as he looked over at Doofenshmirtz before Brigette raised an eyebrow. "Milo, are you sure about this?"

"I'm sure." Milo said as he motioned over for Heinz Doofenshmirtz to come downstairs.

"What's the occasion?" Doofenshmirtz asked as he came down.

"Dr. D, the family and I have to go out to Melissa's for a little while for a light talk, and we might be a while. How good are you with kids?" Milo asked.

Doofenshmirtz gave a smile as he said, "Are you kidding? I practically have a daughter of my own. Sure, she's grown up and matured a bit, but I still see her as my baby girl. Even after the divorce, I'm still able to see Vanessa whenever she comes by, and-"

"Perfect!" Milo smiled. "Then you can help me watch over Melody while we're out."

"I can do what now?" Doofenshmirtz blinked a few times as Milo walked over to Melody and bent down.

"Hi, sweetie." Milo gave a grin.

"Hi, daddy." Melody gave a happy smile as she waved.

Milo paused as he said, "Listen, your grandparents, aunt and I have to go out for a while, we're going to meet with your mother and your grandfather about something, but rest assured, we'll be back soon. Until then, just stay with your babysitter for a while, okay?"

"Okay, daddy, I love you, buh bye!" The girl waved as the family gave a chuckle.

Milo then turned to Dr. Doofenshmirtz as he gave a grin. "Okay, Dr. D, she's in your hands now. And rest assured, if something were to happen to Melody..."

Milo's eyes then slanted down as he looked over at Doofenshmirtz. "You will be sorry you messed with me."

"Whoa, geez, you're going a little dark on me!" Doofenshmirtz yelped as he backed away.

Milo coughed a little bit. "Sorry. Don't know how that happened."

Brigette, watching this, gave a laugh as she said, "He's already developing the parent protectiveness."

"Well, shall we go to the Chases?" Milo asked as the others nodded.

"Let's go, then." Martin said as the four started to go out, already grabbing the car keys.

"Don't forget Dr. D, keep her safe for an hour or so!" Milo said as the four started to leave as Dr. Doofenshmirtz gave a grin and waved.

"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of your daughter like she was Vanessa when she was young... back in the old days..." Doofenshmirtz paused as he sighed a little sitting down at the table next to Melody as Melody looked over and giggled at the daydreaming Doofenshmirtz. "When I could hold her in my arms... and seeing her so happy. Sure, I was raised by ocelots and my parents never cared for me, but seeing Vanessa in my arms, it was... a different time. Sure, I tried my best to raise her, and in a way, she's been raised right... she's a little evil, but she's a bit good too... heh, almost like I am..."

As Doofenshmirtz kept droning on and on, Melody looked around, wondering what to do... until she spotted a familiar dog going out the sliding glass door. Melody's eyes widened in delight as she laughed. "D-O-G!"

Melody tried to get out of her high chair, but she couldn't seem to get loose... until she pulled an arm out and slapped a spoon away from her, as it went upward and hit the ceiling fan, just as it came close and landed mere inches from the table, causing the high chair to fall over and loosen Melody. Melody then got up and laughed as she started to chase after Diogee, sliding out the glass door.

"...Nowadays, she's doing an internship at the OWCA, and she seems to be doing well..." Doofenshmirtz smiled... before frowning. "Of course, thinking about the OWCA only makes me think of Perry the Platypus and... ugh, I don't want to talk about it! But enough about me. Let's see what I can do for you, Melody."

Doofenshmirtz blinked as he noticed the ceiling fan next to the knocked over high chair. The former evil scientist's eyes went wide when he noticed Melody climbing up on top of the fence. He screamed as he tried to run after Melody, screaming, "Hang on, Melody! Don't run off!"

Little did either of them realize that they were just about to run into quite the interesting day...

And that's the end of this chapter! How did you guys like it? Next time, an adventure with Melody and Doofenshmirtz ensues! Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks!
