I watched Maka from the family room as she cleaned up the kitchen from dinner. Our little girl was running around the house screaming "let's go soul resonance!" Her mother and I had practiced resonanting multiple times when she was a tiny tot, so she learned the phrase quickly.

"Honey?" called Maka.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"Could you get Annalin please? I told her that if she left me alone while I was cleaning I'd give her a treat."

"Yeah, one moment."

I sat up on the couch and let out a yawn before I got up to get our little girl. She's 4 now and still doesn't quite understand the concept of not bugging people when they're cleaning or working. She's loud, mostly because Black Star and Tsubaki, who is now his fiancée or GF, have been over a lot. Her hair is white like mine and her eyes are a dark emerald green, almost like her mothers. And her favorite thing to do is play with knives. I can tell she's going to be a meister when she's older just by how well she handles them.

"Annalin?" I called, "Where are you baby girl? Mommy's gonna eat your treat," I teased.

"No!" yelled Annalin as she ran out from her hiding spot toward the kitchen. "Mommy! Daddy said you were gonna eat my treat."

"Did he really?" asked Maka teasingly. "I guess I'll have to teach him a lesson now won't I?" she said as she glanced up at me with a playful smile.

"Yeah!"

"Well, here's your cookie sweetheart."

"Thank you mommy!"

"You're welcome."

Annalin ran past me and into her room, sticking her tongue out as she did, clutching her cookie in her small hands.

"She's just like her father," said Maka as she put away the cookie jar.

"No," I said as I came up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist, "she's just like her mother."

She spun around on her heels and rested her head on my soulder. I could tell she was exausted from cleaning and having to deal with a 4 year old all day.

I picked her up princess like, getting a quiet squeal of suprise and enjoyment from her, and went to our room where I shut the door. I dropped her on our bed and went over and locked the door before I laid down next to her.

"Maka," I whispered, "how about we have some fun tomorrow. We can drop Annalin off at Kid and Liz's place for the day and be able to have fun without having to worry about her."

She let out a sigh as she shifted closer to me, "what kind of fun?" she asked with a giggle, knowing exactly what I meant.

"Oh, y'know. The kind only adults who are married can do," I replied, tapping her nose with my finger.

Silence filled our room as we lie next to each other, gazing into each others eyes with a devious smile present on both our faces. Maka closed her eyes as she snuggled closer to me, sleep slowly taking over her. I myself began to feel my eyes grow heavy as I watched her sleep.

"Good night Maka," I mumbled before sleep, too, took over my body.


I woke up the next morning to the smell of bacon and pancakes. I could hear Maka's humming she always does when ever she's busy in the kitchen.

I sat up, groaning at first but then remembered that today was the day for Maka and I to have some fun without a 4 year old running around. I threw on a decent looking flanel and a pair of dark blue jeans before I walked out of the bedroom to get something to eat.

"Good morning sleepy head," sung Maka when she heard me open a drawer to grab a fork.

"Hi daddy!" squealed Annalin.

"Good morning to you both," I said as I kissed Maka lightly on the cheek. "Smells good, babe."

"Thank you," she said. "I was actually planning on bringing you breakfast in bed."

"Don't spoil me darling. Save that for Annalin over here," I said as I ruffled my little girl's hair.

"Daddy you messed up my hair!" she whined.

"I don't think you brushed it cutie pie," remarked Maka as she set down the plate of pancakes.

Annalin glared at her mother but soon replaced it with a bright toothy smile as she ate her breakfast.

At around 12:30 we droped Annalin off at Kid's place and said we'd be back to pick her up at exactly 8 o'clock. Annalin started to cry as Maka and I began to walk back toward the car, but Liz ended up asking if she wanted to play with dolls, preventing her from running and hugging my leg begging me not to leave her.

"Ahhh," I sighed as I walked in the door of our home, "alone at last."

"Well, if you want a little bit of fun you're gonna have to catch me first," said Maka as she slunk off towards our room.

"Oh, that won't be a problem," I replied as a smile appeared on my face.

"Well, come and get me."

I let out a low growl as I ran to our room. Maka was a clever girl and knew exactly where to be waiting for me.

When I reached our room, Maka wasn't where I thought I would find her.

She's hiding, I thought to myself as I began to erase my breath in hopes of being able to hear her's.

I heard a curtain rustle off to my left and crept over to it, taking care to avoid the creaking bits portions of the floor. I lowered my gaze to the floor and saw a pair of toes with green polish on them sticking out.

"Haha, Maka. You can come out now," I said as I took off my shirt, revealing my scar.

"No," she playfully said. "You have to catch me, remember?"

I sighed, "Fine."

I pulled back the curtains to reveal a sexy sight. I stared, wide eyed, at her, suprised she changed into her pj's quick enough to hide.

After I managed to break my stare, I picked her up just above her knees and peppered kisses down her neck, earning a groan of pleasure to come from her slightly parted lips. I managed to get over to our door and close it, despite having Maka running her fingers along my collar bones and tracing my scar she had come to love over the last two years.

"Ahh!" squealed Maka as I placed her on our bed, putting one hand on either side of her.

Her hair was splayed around her on the bed and her breathing was a bit labored. I leaned over her, teasing her as I held my face 2 inches from hers. She made a pout face and turned her head to the side, clearly angry at what I was doing. I kissed her cheek and flopped down beside her, looking at her green eyes and the smile that appeared on her face.

"So, what are we gonna do for the next 7 hours?" Asked Maka as she toyed with a wrinkle in the sheets.

"Well, we could go to the club, get drunk, come back and try for another," I replied, still gazing at her eyes. "Or we could chill her and watch Netflix."

"Well," sighed Maka, "I'd usually say yes to going to a club to drink, but I can't drink anymore."

"What? Why?"

"Why do you think?" She questioned, as her smile became bigger.

"No way! You're?"

She nodded, flashing her brilliant smile.

"Maka, that's..." I was cut off as I felt a tear fall down my face.

"Haha, I know. Our little Annalin is gonna be a big sister," replied Maka as she wiped away a few tears that had left my eyes. "I don't want her to know yet, so I need you not to smile that sexy mile wide smile you have plastered to your face when you hug me from behind, okay?"

I was so over joyed that all I could do was smile as tears rolled down my face. For the past few months I was wanting to have another and wondered why Maka always refused. But now, now that I know why, my life is 1,000 times better. Maka, returned my smile as she snuggled closer, allowing me to hold her closer than I ever imagined possible.

"It's a little boy, too," mumbled Maka into my shoulder.

"Wh-what?" I said, barely able to keep the crying out of my voice.

"We're gonna have a baby boy to look out for his older sister when he gets older."

As the last word rolled off her tongue, I couldn't help but cry at the news.

Review and PM me if you think I should write another chapter! If not, this puppy is finished! Yeah it ends on a cliffhanger, but who says I won't write a sequel in the future. Tehe.
