• 4 • Nannies

That's what happened.

One nanny was changing you into new clothes after giving Homusubi's very first bath.

The second nanny fixed up her toys on the table in a new and better room.

The third one was making a milk formula.

The fourth is with the first one, trying to make the baby happy by wiggling a rattle toy at her.

Then the fifth one having the biggest balls for trying to talk to her boss to stay "-because a child needs a parent!"

Enji snapped, "Don't you dare tell me what to do or do you want to lose your job?!"

"But sir!" The nanny stood her ground with determination, "I know this based on the report of the previous nanny. And I really do hope that you know too--"

"What?! Just spill it out!"

"Homusubi is relaxed and happy whenever she's around you."

But the hard-headed man didn't grasp what she meant to say and raised an eyebrow with crossed arms, "So are you saying that I will take care of her?'

"No sir...! It's just..." She heaves a sigh, to sincerely say, "A child needs its parent just as a flower needs the sun to bloom. Sir Endeavor I hope you understand..."

For a moment there, Enji was surprised by this woman's words. He glanced to the side where his daughter was, before looking down at the ground, 'I'm the sun... and Homusubi's the flower...' for the first time, he felt his heart melt as he thought about that phrase. No matter how much his pride is high up in the sky the nanny was still correct, 'I need to be the sun of her life—'

"Excuse me..." A soft feminine voice called out as soon as the door opened.

He looks up and his eyes widen in shock, "Rei?"

The white-haired woman, wearing casual clothes as if she wasn't the wife of the new top 2 hero, bowed her head in respect, "I'm back... The hospital discharged me earlier than I expected." She giggles nervously.

Just knowing that Rei will be home from now on, his thoughts changed quickly.

He furrowed his eyebrows to establish more dominance, "Good to have you back." He turns his head slowly towards the nanny beside him and raised an eyebrow sassily, "Now. She will be enough to take care of Homusubi, yes?"

The nanny was surprised too at the arrival of the mother, but nodded nervously at the question of the hero, "Yes sir... Absolutely."

However, with her whole heart, she was still worried about the baby she'll take care of. The baby she knows who'll soon carry the legacy of her father with heavy burdens. She just wished that this little infant will grow up with a good childhood and loving people around her. But it seems she'll have to work harder than this.

"Aww... She has the shape of your eyes!" One of the nannies commented as they crowded over at Rei, who sat in a chair while carrying her baby with a genuine and emotional smile.

"Really...?" She asked with a giggle.

"Yes yes!"

"Mhm!"

They nodded at each other in agreement.

Sure Homusubi may have hurt her during labour, but it was just an accident. Though, she'll still have to be careful sometimes whenever the baby crying.

The innocent bright and blue eyes were staring back at her mothers' brown ones while she lets out tiny cooes.

The nannies fell in love in an instant with this harmless— okay maybe not harmless, but an incredibly adorable baby.

"Do you think she'll grow up to be as strong as her father?" One of the nannies whispered.

"I hope. But I also hope she won't pick up his personality—"

"Hey!" The other one scolded with a whisper, "What are you saying?!" She muttered angrily before glancing at the wife of the man they're talking about.

Rei let out a soft giggle as she tilts her head down nervously.

"Khehe...!"

Everyone froze before slowly looking down at the baby with wide eyes.

"Did she just... Laugh...?"

"No that's not possible yet!"

"But she just did, did she?!"

Homusubi shows her gummy only smile together with another giggle, being happy to see her mother happy too.

Everyone was taken aback, "She can laugh already!"

Rei was beyond surprised as he pulls up her baby closer to her, "Oh dear... This is a miracle!"

"She seems to recognize you! What a sweet potato~!" The nanny gasped while placing both of her hands on her chest in awe.

"More like a *musubi."

*[Musubi in Japan is rice ball]

Everyone giggled at her joke.

"Homusubi... rice ball... Aww... It suits her well."

"She's just so cute! I wanna squeeze those cheeeeks!"

The mother has arrived to come and take care of her child. She hopes that the child won't hurt her again, but even if her child does, she'll still protect and take care of her. Like an Earth and human relationship.

Why? Because children are precious.

No matter what Enji was doing, no matter what he was thinking, his heartfelt lonely whenever he's not in the presence of her daughter. But he knows that whatever happens, he'll be the sun to his little flower.
