Splatoon: A Beast-Inklings family

Chapter 21: Protecting

Nine years later....

Lizer's POV

"Mommy, Mom!" I hear Eliza jumping on our bed. Me and Ella groan.

"Your child is awake." Ella mumbles

"Before sunrise she's your child." I mumble back as Eliza kept shaking and jumping on us.

"Come on mom you promised to show me how to make salmon cakes today!" She whined. WI opened my eyes and saw my daughter pouting down at me. I sit up.

"Alright, alright I'm up." I yawn stretching my stiff limbs." Why do we have to do this in the morning again?" I asked getting out of bed and putting my sweats.

"Because you said the best pastries are made early." Eliza says giggling.

I grumble to myself for putting that kind of thinking in her head....well at least it will prepare her for school. It was summer vacation now and I promise Eliza I will teach her some of my popular dishes and today we are making her favorite, salmon cakes.

I smile picking my now ten year old daughter. It has been 10 wonderful years with my family and Eliza is growing up into a fine little inkling, I'm proud of her everyday.

"Ok how about you go setup while I brush my teeth and get ready." I said, she nodded and I placed her back down and she scurried off to the kitchen.

I turn around and looked at my wife sleeping the day away. I briefly lay on top of her and kept giving her small kisses. "Honey, how about you join me in the bathroom, huh?" I said and kiss her neck in a way that makes her whimper.

She moaned but answer me." I would but I'm comfortable staying here and sleep."

I laughed giving her a peck before getting up." Fine be that way, I'll just enjoy some quality time with my daughter then." Ella mumbled an ok and went back to sleep while I grabbed some clothes and went to the bathroom.

After doing my daily routine and clothe myself I went downstairs and found our daughter almost done putting everything.

She smiles up at me when she saw me." You ready kiddo?" I asked she nods.

-----

"There!" I said placing two pan in the oven we have 45 minutes before it was done. I look towards Eliza and she's covered in flour, I laugh." Looks like you need a bath there princess." I said picking her up, she sneezed and a dust of flour blew away. She grins at me showing her little fangs. Apparently one of her fangs is longer then the other like mine.

We were in the shower. For some reason Eliza likes it when I bathed her and who am I to deny my little princess that. I turned on the water to filled the tub I then proceeded to unclothed Eliza.

She happily climbs into the bath and splash around and I began to was her and like always she makes it hard by moving or swims away from me. Maybe that's why she likes bathing with me.

After finish up in the bathroom we sat in the living room and watched some cartoons on the tv.

Eliza was starting mesmerized at the flatscreen watching a show called...Steven Universe? It was about a human boy hybrid learning about himself and his moms past. And I'm ashamed to say that it's quite interesting.

"Mom." Eliza called without even turning around.

"Yes sweetie." I answered leaning my arm on the couch.

"Why does Pearl hate Steven's dad?" She asks

"Oh she doesn't hate him she just having a hard time coping with the fact that the one she loved is gone." I explain
