*two years after Kira has been beaten and Mello and Matt lived*I wake up in Mello's arms in our new house. It was a nice house and they made way more than enough to pay rent and for food and other things. They weren't poor, after all Mello was still a Mafia boss, Matt was a hacker, and I stayed home and took care of things. Although from time to time I do help out with Matt's hacking and Mello with the Mafia, I am a Mafia wife after all.
I sat up and slowly stretched and than wiggled my way out of Mello's hold. I went down stairs to begin making breakfast. I saw Lyle was already up watching cartoons. I smiled at him. He looked at me and his face instantly brightened up and he ran to me. "Mommy your up!" He said as he ran to me to hug me. I hugged back and rubbed his head. "Yeah, what're you doing up so early?" I ask walking to the kitchen. "I wanted to watch TV" he said sitting back in front of the TV. Lyle was mine and Mello's child. And Matt's nephew. There was no denying that Lyle wasn't Mello's, they look exactly alike. Well Lyle looks like Mello when he was a kid.
Matt soon made his way down stairs and yawned loudly. "Morning Matt," I say still cooking. "Morning uncle Matt" Lyle said. "Morning, what is Mels still in bed?" Matt asked sitting down at the table. "Yeah, I'll go wake him up in a minute. After all breakfast is nearly done." I say sating the food on the table. "Lyle come eat" I say to him. "Okay Mommy" he says getting up. I go back upstairs to get sleeping beauty up. I sat on the edge of the bed and look at him. He looks so peaceful. "Mello, wake up" I say softly as I gently shake him. He groans and turns over. I sigh and open my mouth to call out to him again, when suddenly Lyle runs into the room and jumps on him. "Daddy!" Lyle cheers. Mello groans but opens his eyes. He smiles.
"Yes?" He asks. "Mommy made chocolate chip pancakes!" Lyle said as I just noticed the small mess around his mouth. One things for sure, they both share a love for chocolate. Mello sits up and says "well let's go eat, before Matt eats it all" Lyle hugs his dad and I smile at my two boys. "I heard that last comment Mello! I'm surprised that all that chocolate hasn't gotten to you yet!" Matt yelled. "And I'm surprised that you don't have lunge cancer yet!" Mello screamed back. "Shut up! And eat your food!" I yelled at both of them.
I picked up Lyle and went downstairs and left Mello to get some clothes on. Soon after Lyle and I sat down, Mello came down stairs in a T-shirt and some jeans. I finally had gotten Mello to wear something other than Leather, don't get me wrong I love him in his leather, but I've wanted to see him in other clothes. He sat down besides me and started eating. "You have to go in today?" I ask Mello. "No,not today. Rod and the others have everything under control. They're going on a job today. They said they can handle it and for me to stay home today. They'll call me if some things wrong." Mello said taking a bite of his food. I smiled at that. "What are they doing for a job Daddy?" Lyle asked. "They're going to go take out a man that owes us money, than take the money." Mello answered.
Lyle knew what his dad did everyday. Lyle even knows how to polish a gun. "Daddy will you teach me to fire a gun today?" Lyle asked hopefully. Mello froze, he had told me that he never wanted Lyle to be doing what he does. "Lyle, I don't-" I cut Mello off. "You probably should. I mean just for protection. He already knows all the safety procedures you showed him. What if it comes to the point where he needs to learn how to use a gun but he doesn't know how to" Mello opened his mouth to protest but this time Matt cut him off. "She does have a point Mels, I mean Lyle knows not to shoot a gun unless in emergency" Lyle nodded in response. Mello sighed I'm defeat and than said "fine, but Lyle I don't ever wanna see a gun in your hand unless in an emergency. Understand?" Mello said to Lyle. Lyle nodded and said "okay Daddy."
I smiled at both of them as we began our day. Matt was hacking again, I was cleaning and Mello was teaching Lyle how to use a gun. The day went by fast, before long it was night time and I was about to put Lyle to bed before there was a knock on the door. "Are you expecting someone?" I asked Mello and Matt. "No." Mello said grabbing a gun and tossing it to Matt, but not before grabbing another one. I held Lyle close and ran to the office room, the room that I knew was the room for emergencies. I heard Mello open the door and I heard an unfamiliar voice. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but I heard gunshots and than soon it sounded like they were fighting. I put Lyle in a trunk that locked from the inside and got in it myself and locked it. There was two small holes for air to get through. "Search the place!" I heard another voice yell. I heard several footsteps. Some made they way to the office room. The person than tried opening the chest. Than I heard several gunshots and sounds like someone fell over. 'Mello, Matt. Please be okay' I thought as tears threatened my eyes.
I soon heard someone else enter the room and another shot and another thud. I than heard someone knock on the chest three times. I quickly opened it and came out with Lyle in my arms. Mello was standing there covered in blood, and Matt was in the door way also covered in blood. I covered Lyle's eyes so he wouldn't see the dead body. I broke down crying and Mello held me close. "Its all over now, don't worry. Tommarrow I'm gonna find this son of a bitch who did this. And trust me, they'll pay." He said to me. "Matt, could you put Lyle in bed?" I said shakily. "Yea," Matt said as he walked over and took Lyle from my arms. Lyle looked at the dead body as Matt walked out of the room. "I'm assuming you and Matt need to get rid of the bodies?" I asked. Mello only nodded. "Alright, I'll be in bed." I said as I walked to our room.
This thing doesn't happen often, this is maybe the second time its happened. I changed into my pajamas and got in the bed. I laid there for maybe an hour or two and still couldn't sleep. I than felt a pair our arms around me, in know it was Mello. I turned to face him and clung tighter to him. He just rubbed my back as I slowly fell asleep in his arms.
I woke up in the middle of the night due to nightmares about the event again. I clung closer to Mello. He responded by pulling me closer. He was a light sleeper. "Nightmare?" He asked quietly. I nodded and said "yea." Mello opened his eyes to meet my e/c ones. "Don't worry, as long as I'm around I swear to you I will protect this family, no matter what it takes" he whispers. He than leaves a gentle kiss on my lips. I just wrap my arms around his neck and burry my face in the crook of his neck. He held me tightly. I smiled, knowing he meant what he said and I slowly feel back asleep.
A/N the picture is how I imagined future Mello and Lyle. The picture isn't mine, I didn't draw that, I found it on deviant art but I forgot the artists name. But I don't own the picture or the characters of death note.
