So a week went by and Lal had found out everything she needed to report back to the ninth. She wrote a detailed report in a laptop she had before carefully reading through it and correcting everything. Once done she emailed it towards the Vongola HQ for Timoteo to read and sighed in relief. Finally she didn't have to return to that horrible base with the pervert of a mafia boss trying to get her into his room and to his bed. Pretty soon they would come and handle everything and she could have a moment of relaxation, if it weren't for the round of crying from the infant Colonnello had picked up off the street that is.

"Woah! Ts-Tsunayoshi look, kora!" Colonnello said as he tried to get the baby to stop crying and look at him as he began to try and make weird faces in front of him. It seemed to have been working- until he watched as Tsunayoshi began to cry again. Colonnello was currently lost in what to do and was desperate for some help. "Lal!" he called towards Lal as he picked up Tsunayoshi and walked into the living room where Lal had been writing her report and such. He went over with a look of desperation.

Lal just sighed at her husband who can't seem to take a good enough care of one single child. "Why is he crying now?" she asked him and placed the laptop away.

"I-I don't know, kora!" Colonnello said while Tsunayoshi continued to cry. "I already fed him this morning and checked his diapers but nothing and I just seriously don't know what's wrong!" he said clearly panicked.

Lal rolled her eyes and took Tsunayoshi. She bounced the child a little before noticing that the boy's mouth opened and closed a lot and he was moving his head from side to side as well, she tried to test something and lightly poked the child's cheek and saw that he turned towards the source and racked through her brains on what that meant because she was sure that she remembered Luce saying something about that when she showed Lal her own child; Aria. She looked at the time and turned towards Colonnello. "What time did you exactly feed him?" she asked.

Colonnello blinked and thought about it. "Uh...four and a half hours ago, kora" he answered.

Lal groaned at that and sneered at Colonnello. "You idiot. He's hungry and you're suppose to feed him every 2-3 hours" she said. 'Or so Luce said when she kept bragging about it to Viper and me...' she added in her head.

Colonnello blinked. "Well how was I suppose to know that, I'm a new parent, kora!" he said before going to the kitchen and looking for the milk formula he had bought before. He didn't know much about parenting but Lal had scolded him about how he shouldn't feed the baby with normal milk since it didn't have all the nutrients the kid would need, he then asked about which method was more ideal and saw Lal's face go red as she muttered something about breast feeding was the best choice for new born children and had asked why Lal doesn't do that only to get a giant bump on his head. Honestly it was worth seeing her blush a bright red to ask that question. Anyway he searched around and...

"Oh god, Lal! I forgot we ran out of the milk formula this morning, kora!" he said and managed to dodge a slipper that was thrown at him, courtesy of Lal Mirch.

"Why didn't you go buy once you found out we didn't have anymore?!" Lal said in anger as she balanced the crying child and trying to calm him down in the same time.

"You were still out working and Tsunayoshi didn't have anyone to look after him with the house being empty, kora!" Colonnello fought back in the tiny argument between the two.

Lal practically growled at the excuse. "You could have brought the kid with you!" she said and saw Colonnello looked sort of confused.

"...I could, kora?" Colonnello asked and there went the other slipper which he failed to dodge and hit him right at his face.
