Keebo & Miu's Misadventures in Parenting

Inevitable Subject

I was sitting in a beanbag, staring at me and Miu's awkward wedding photos. I adjusted a light blue scarf I'd gotten as a wedding gift, knowing those were only a fraction of the photos taken at the wedding. Putting down the wedding album, I looked over at my wife Miu. She was drinking a pumpkin spice latte while watching her favorite game show, and wearing a pink shirt with coffee stains, a lavender skort,her long sunset socks, and a scarf identical to mine, only light magenta. She looked back at me, but I paid no mind to her and simply stared out the window. I thought to myself, "There's no way today could go wro-"

"Hey Keebo?"

My thought was interrupted, and I immediately felt like a cannonball made of stress had crashed into me. I quickly turned around...and it was just Miu. Phew...

As a breeze of relief blew past me, I asked Miu what it was she wanted.
"Oh, simple! I just want to adopt a child with you! The thrill..." Miu replied. I suddenly got more than a little stressed, and started to play with my thumbs. I avoided eye contact with Miu as I thought it over. I did like a good thrill... But
honestly, I was not sure I'm ready for this level of responsibility. I decided to go to my room and call Angie. She had TWINS, for crying out loud! She knew if it was worth it.

I rang up Angie's home phone and immediately got a response. "Hello, this is the Gokuhara residence. What is the issue?"(a/n:okay so the reason Angie says "this is the Gokuhara residence" is because she is married to Gonta. Just an FYI there UwU) I told her what happened with Miu and I. "Ah, yes. I see. Well, the best thing to do is act on Atua's will and adopt him or her. Atua doesn't like when children are not cared for."

I nodded and hung up. Miu called out for me, "Are you done yet, Keeby-kins~" Ugh. I've told her countless times not to call me Keeby-kins.

"Yea, I'm done," I called back, "and I decided that we can adopt that child." Miu's cheers of elation sounded through the house. I grabbed our wallets and left.

Preparations went well. We got all the essentials, and we still had enough yen left to buy a Build-a-Bear. Now it was time to go to the adoption center.

After both of us filled out a a form, the adoption center worker led us to the room where our child would be waiting.

And the child in question was adorable.

A 5-year-old girl, with long strawberry blonde hair, down like Miu's, and glimmering, ice blue eyes. In her hair she wore a strawberry-shaped hair clip, and she wore a light pink dress with lavender tights.

"Here they are," said the worker, "your new mom and dad!" The little girl walked up to us and smiled.

"You two seem nice," she said. "Whatcha gonna name me?" That was a question I wasn't prepared for, but as always, my cute but annoying wife found a way to answer.

"Your name will be Lotus," replied Miu. And Lotus was clearly satisfied with the name.

After filling out the adoption papers, Miu and I walked home with our new child. Lotus Iruma was ours now, and I'd do anything to protect her.

That night, after the girls ate, we decided to watch a movie. Since Miu got to choose last time, I got to choose this time.

After we watched Star Wars, it was time to go to bed. As soon as Miu and I stepped through the door to our room, we heard the knock of wood. I sighed as I plugged myself in. Tonight would be an excruciating night.
