I had written this on Wattpad, but I like Maui that much, I decided to write it on here too but hope you like because it's a cute story, because Maui woukd make a great dad and Moana a great aunt.

In this story, Maui finds a baby on the beach which the gods sent him, naming her Lani who happens to be a demigoddess in training so he has decided to raise her as his own with help from Moana of course but I hope you enjoy.

It was many years after helping Moana restore the heart of Te Fiti, but the demigod of the wind and sea was about to receive a very precious gift, seeing Moana Rush up to him making Maui very curious.

His eyes widened seeing a baby on the beach's sandy shore, guessing their friend, the ocean had brought this little one to them picking the infant up in his huge yet protective arms making Moana realise something from what he'd told her.

"Maybe the gods sent it to you, you know?" Moana told him.

Maui guessed that she was right, guessing this little one was destined for greatness like him meaning she was a Demi goddess making Moana grin, guessing he was going to be a father which bothered Maui because he didn't know how to be a father when his parents had abandoned him.

"I think we should call her Lani, kid." Maui told her.

It was a few months later after finding Lani, and night time but Maui was on his island, with Lani in his big and protective arms, as the infant was looking at the various tattoos on his arms with curious eyes making the demigod grin, because she was cute plus when she was old enough, he would teach her to use her powers seeing her dad's magical fish hook.

"You're too little, to use it Lani, one day you can." Maui told her, while feeding her coconut milk.

He was telling her stories about some of the things he'd done, which was calming her into sleep relieving the demigod putting her in her crib hoping things in the village were alright, knowing the Festivalof Wayfinders was approaching, which honoured way finding since voyaging had returned, and honoured way finders of past, present and the future.

"Yeah, daddy is awesome, like your aunt Moana and one day, you'll be awesome too." Maui told her going to sleep.

He was going to sleep himself,putting his fish hook near his bed, hoping things were alright, going to sleep hoping that Lani wouldn't wake up during the night.

Plus Moana would help him, if he needed it in raising Lani but was hearing Lani cry, around sunrise, making Maui get up, going to Lani's crib picking her up gently, singing a Polynesian lullaby to her, which was helping her calm down and go back to sleep.

"That's good sweetie, as daddy needs more sleep." Maui told her.
