“Asia?” Charlie gasped, once something hard hit him in the chest, his eyes wide and a grin covering his face as he took in the long blonde hair and green eyes that stared up at him in amazement.

“Otou-san! It’s me!” Asia giggled, leaning more into his chest as she snuggled deep into his arms, her body basically trembling in joy as she tightly clung onto Charlie.

“Y-your back? What are you doing back?” He was confused, if she was here then Antonio couldn’t be far behind, “where’s Antonio? Akeno?” He gently stood up so the girl didn’t tumble onto the floor.

“I’m here, Akeno is at home.” Antonio finally walked through the door, a smile on his face as he took in the scene of Asia cuddling up to his father, “we’re back.” He also walked over to get a hug from his father.

“Antonio, my boy!” Charlie laughed, opening his arms to fit Antonio into his hug, “how are you doing? Asia?” He looked down and up again trying to take in both people in his arms.

“Perfect, I’ve come to tell you some great news.” He broke the hug, “something important that I hope you won’t be too upset about.” He flinched but it went unnoticed, he was worried about how his father would react but for now he could only wait.

“I’m also great, Otou-san!” Asia nodded, she was still clinging onto him and didn’t seem like she would let him go anytime soon, but that would be fine, they weren’t leaving so soon anyways.

“Something important?” Charlie lifted a brow, “can’t beat the fact that you have two beautiful women fighting for your love.” He teased, though the blush creeping up on Antonio’s neck got him thinking.

“Don’t tell me my son has more?” Charlie smirked, he wasn’t being serious he was just teasing.

“Yeah, that’s something I'd like to discuss with you over dinner at our place.” He didn’t miss the way Charlie’s face suddenly tightened, like he was catching onto something.

“It better be nothing bad Antonio, I raised you better than to do something stupid.” His eyes narrowed, suspicion creeping up into them.

“No, no nothing like that!” He shook his head, “I promise it’s good news.” He smiled a little, he couldn’t wait to tell him about the baby.

“Good,” He had a look like he didn’t believe him but he nodded anyway, “good, I’ll try and get Bella ready.” He frowned, at the mention of her.

“Bella won’t be able to come, what I’m going to tell you will be too much for her, and she already knows a bit anyway.” He didn’t want her there yet, she wasn’t in a proper state to take his words into consideration and he didn’t want to stress everyone out.

“How is she anyways?” Asia frowned, “is she doing alright? Sleeping? Eating?” She was worried about the girl despite her obvious dislike towards her, in fact she could help with getting her better.

“Okay,” Charlie nodded, “no Bella, but she’s doing better than before, went out with her friends and started hanging out with Jacob.” He shrugged that's what he was seeing and it was making him happy seeing her get out.

“Well you can come around after work Otou-san!” Asia suggested, “I’ll be sure the girls and I make your favorite!” She bounced around, excited to have the family around and a little relieved that Bella was doing better than she expected.

“Fish?” Charlie smiled, he was a huge fan of fried fish ever since Akeno showed him a different way to prepare it than normal.

“And steak.” Antonio added, he wasn’t as big of a fan of Seafood like his father but he’ll eat it if he had too.

“Please invite Billy and Harry also.” He needed to talk to them also.

“I’m guessing you don’t want Jacob, Seth, or Leah there either?” Charlie added.

“No Bella, Seth, Leah or Jacob at the moment sorry.” Antonio signed, he made a promise to speak with Jacob but at the moment things needed to be sorted out and he couldn’t do that with a puppy breathing down his neck.

“Alright.” Charlie signed, “I’ll be sure to let them know.” He smiled, “It’s great having you back here son.” He gave him another hug.

“Here’s the address, we live a good twenty minutes pass the Cullen’s old residence.” His father never went that way before, but he would now since Antonio lived past them.

“Yeah,” Charlie groaned, “Cullen's old residence.” He for sure was still upset with Edward for leaving Bella out in the woods and his attitude towards them that this discussion needed to happen.

“We’ll leave you for now,” Antonio signed, “we’ve got some business to handle.” He was talking about scanning the area around his father’s place, but he wouldn’t know that until later.

“See you later Otou-san!” Asia finally pulled away from his arms, slowly making her way back into Antonio’s

“See you soon Asia, bye Antonio.” Charlie kissed her forehead and sent Antonio out the station door with a harsh pat on the back.

“I’ll head home to help Rias and Akeno.” She held a small smile on her face, eyes sparkling from seeing the man she now considered as a father, “do you want me to send someone over?” She didn’t want him doing anything alone, no matter how skilled he was.

“Issei, Irina, and Kiba.” Irina had no experience dealing with Stray Devils, Issei needed to know how to do something other than contracts, and Kiba was just for extra backup.

“Okie Doki,” Asia giggled, she had a vague idea of what was gonna happen and she found it a little funny.
