Saki Kawasaki's request

The sound of incessant crying rings throughout the house. A high pitched wail, eager for company.

Just one night, one friggin night for a good night's sleep. Is that really too much to ask? Braving the harsh cold, I sit up out of bed in only my plain black boxers.

Amazingly, the other body that laid with me hasn't been woken up yet.

Navigating through the dark, I go to the dark room where the source of the crying was coming from. A dark shadowy figure huddled over the sounds of distress unknowing as to what to do form the erratic movements.

"Hiki, good job on making your sis cry."

Hiki turned towards me, his messy silver hair almost shining in illumination along with an ahoge too long for it's own good.

"Just trying to calm her down, is all..."

"Let me guess, once she saw her loving brother, she cried upon seeing what she thought was a voodoo zombie."

Obviously dejected, the six year old looked down dejected. Crap, I probably went too hard on the little guy. He does take after me after all.

"You auntie was the same aswell so make sure you shove that in her face next time she comes eh?"

Bending down to pick up the scared baby girl, she only wailed louder.

"You're not any better then I am dad."

"Well, this is dad's problem now so got back to bed."

"What is it with you guys?"

Lo and behold, she got out of bed. Dressed in a white nightgown, her hair camouflaged with it and with a tired look via bags under her eyes, Saki Hikigaya broke free from inner peace.

I don't blame her. She's pretty vigorous in bed...

Her protruding stomach was evidence of our late-night activities. Third child already, what a handful...

I knew what I signed up for ofcourse. Saki did warn me she wanted lots of children. I didn't have a choice in the matter, just as long as it was her popping them out...

I passed Kosaki to Saki's open hands tenderly. She was the only one who stopped Kosaki wailing through the night. Heh, I remember how troublesome it was for me and pops to get Komachi to shut up when mom had to work overtime.

Using her motherly intuition, she rhythmically hummed to the baby swinging it gently.

"Hiki."

Me or him? See that's the problem naming him that woman.

"Not you, Hiki. Shouldn't you be in bed? You got school in a couple of hours."

"Do I have to? I'll be plenty awake now."

"Hmm."

Well, he had a point. He got enough sleep so I guess I'll let him off.

"Yeah, I suppose you can have as much free time as you want."

"Really?"

"Yeah, if you clean up the house buster."

"Sorry dad, bed's looking mighty comfy now."

Yeah yeah, say what you want. I'm quite proud of him though. He's a quiet kid, just like me. Looks like my identical clone too except his chin. Who are you? Solid Hiki or liquid Hiki?

Eventually, the baby fell into a peaceful sleep once again. Girl's were just more whiny then guys, I can say that from experience.

"Me and you're mother need to go sleep, so back to bed. Off with you."

"Right right."

Exhausted, we seek our bed once more to fully enjoy what we have.

"BEEP! BEEP!"

The loud digital scream of the alarm sounded. It was time to ready the dawn of the new day.

"Urghhh, no such luck." My wife exclaimed

Saki though, being pregnant was only more tired and out of energy then me for good reason. Her job didn't exactly allow for much breaks working in the management of Angel's Ladder. In comparison, being a light novel editor allowed me to have much more free time to pursue at my own leisure.

The drawback was I had to make sure Ebina's yaoi material was inoffensive enough to get by for the teen ratings. They were her biggest demographic after all. The things that girl can dream up, sends me the shivers...

"Everyday's a blessing."

And it was. My needs were simple, good food, a good bed and a voluptuous partner to share that bed with.

Add to that, she's a pretty good person too. Add to that, looks like the sibling love was great training for the trials of mothership.

But only one of my needs won't be filled today.

Just one question...

"Why d'you give me tomatoes?"

"Eh? Why do you ask? Komachi said you loved tomatoes."

"That so?"

That sly imouto of mine...

That was pretty evil of you.

And thats it. I'm glad I was able to finish this when I did. My idea tank was going pretty low so I'll be taking a break from writing. (for realz this time) I'd like to thank every single one of you that read this from start to finish. It makes me happy seeing you lot happy from reading this. See? An endless cycle with no end. Seriously though, glad you enjoyed it.
