HC: No one knew L was married and had a child until there was a flash flood and you had to move into taskforce with him.

"Hey L, someone's at the front door" Matsuda said, looking at the girl holding a child in her arms.

"I know, I'm expecting her" he replied.

Watari went to go let you in and helped you take your bags upstairs.

The taskforce turned to face you as you opened the doors and kicked your shoes off.

"Woah, what day..." you mumbled.

The child in your arms suddenly spotted her father, and broke the silence.

"DADDY!" She exclaimed.

L got up and took the child from you, giving her a smile and holding her against his chest.

"Hello cupcake, how are you?" He smiled.

The child laughed, wrapping her small arms around her father.

"I'll take that as good"

That's when the taskforce spoke up.

"HOLD THE HECK UP- YOU HAVE A KID?!" Matsuda exclaimed.

"Yeah?" L replied, confused as to why he was so shocked.

"And a wife?!" Light added.

"Hi" you jumped in.

"Yeah? And?"

The taskforce stared at him, dumbfounded for a moment.

"Since when? How come you never told us?!" Aizawa asked.

"Since..." L began, trying to count the years in his head.

"Four years ago we got married, 3 we had a kid" you said.

There was suddenly a loud bang and everyone turned to see Misa has burst through the door.

"DID I JUST HEAR L HAD A KID?!"

"Say hi sweetie" you told your daughter.

The child waved at the blonde and smiled.

"AWWWW, she's so precious!" Misa cooed, rushing over to say hi to your baby.

"Listen. Here's the deal. I was trying to keep these two out of the case for safety reasons but or house was flooded from the hurricane the other week, so they have no choice but to live here for a while. If any of you hurt my girls I will personally take you outside and break your nose, got it?" L said.

The taskforce seemed shocked at this new side of L, but understood. Anyone would want to protect their family.

"Oh yeah I should probably introduce myself- I'm Ichigo and this is Sakura" you said, using the aliases L gave you.

"Sakura? That's so pretty! It suits her so well" Misa said, letting your daughter play with her necklace she seemed to be interested in.

After all the introductions were over and you moved all your stuff into L's room, you sat on the floor with Misa and Matsuda who were adoring your daughter. L, being the protective father he was, joined you to watch Sakura play with everyone and make sure she didn't get hurt.

"Wow she really does look like you L. Her hair is just as thick and dark and she's got your pale skin" Matsuda said.

"I'm just glad she didn't inherit my back issues... instead she got Ichigos amazing eyes" L replied.

"Shut up, my eyes aren't that spectacular" you said.

"Yes they are, they're prettier than mine that's for sure"

"You're such a sap you know?"

"I know"

Misa was really conflicted. Something about watching you and L play with your daughter was... moving. She knew that Light wanted her to kill L and possibly now even you and Sakura, but now that she knew L has a wife and child, and that he had a family to protect and care for... she felt bad. She didn't want to do it anymore...

As much as she loved light and wanted to help him, something about seeing all this was just pulling at her heart strings.

In a way she could relate to L. She didn't have parents and neither did he. Something about seeing someone start over and create a family to fix the void of the one they lost have her lots is sympathy and comfort. She just couldn't bring herself to kill L anyone. Or you, and especially not Sakura... she's a child after all.

She turned to look at Light who was starring menacingly at you, Sakura and L. It made her worried that he'd take matters into his own hands. Surely there was some way to convince him to continue being Kira without killing you guys... right?

She was smaller back into reality by the sound of Sakura bursting out in laughter. She turned to see L had Sakura in his lap and was tickling her, making her laugh like the innocent child she was. She's never seen L so happy before.

The way he looked at you... the way he looked at Sakura...

It was all too much. She couldn't kill them... she wouldn't.

"Hey... Ichigo" she asked.

"Yeah?"

"How long have you and L known each other?"

"We met when we were 6, we grew up together and started dating at 13. Ever since then we'd just waited until we were legal and could get married. The second we were both 18 we got engaged and at 20 we got married. I had Sakura at 21 and here we are..." you explained.

Childhood sweethearts... there was no way she was going to even think about killing you.

"That's so sweet. You know... L's always been so quiet and seemed so sad up until now... I've never seen him so happy" she replied.

"I don't think he really likes being away from us. He'll never admit how much of a softie he is but I know that he's just scared something will happen to us while he's gone"

You watched as Sakura climbed all over L, laughing and having way too much fun playing with her dad. L's smile told you everything you needed to know, he'd beat anyone that came between you and his daughter to smithereens.

"Mummy!" Sakura said.

"What is it?" You replied.

"Let's play clappy!"

Oh god here it comes. When this game starts it doesn't end until Sakura says it does.

You crawled over and held your hands out.

Clappy was a three-way hand clap that faster and faster and if you messed it up you were out. L and Sakura were unbeatable at this game.

Misa watched you play for a moment before excusing herself to get a drink. When she was alone in the kitchen, she sighed, leaning against the counter.

"Rem..." she said.

The Shinigami no one else could see turned to her.

"Yes?"

"Make sure nothing ever happens to those three... I won't let them experience the loss of a family I did... and I'm sure L doesn't want to go through it again..."
