Small surprises.

[shimmerandsing]

Alison didn't like it when her husband wasn't home. There were a variety of reasons for it, but the main reason was because he wasn't with her when he was gone. She had spent most of the day in a funk, waiting for Longshot and Asuka to return home from a clan mission. She couldn't complain too much when he was sent away. The jonin knew Alison was pregnant and somewhat clingy where her husband was concerned. So, if he had been called away, it was probably very important.

She still missed him, though.

So, she spent most of the day in her music room. Her single had done remarkably well since its release and now she was looking to find more good material to record. She had almost an album's worth already.

She was taking a break from working, having a sandwich for lunch in the kitchen, when she saw the glowy orange light from John's arrival. She hoped Lisa was with him. The girl had not been in her room this morning and that had worried Alison, too.

"Hi, guys!" She called. "Come have some lunch with me."

Longshot eyed the cookie Lisa had set out. He glanced left. He glanced right. He glanced up at Ali's chin. Then he snagged the cookie off her plate! He was two fisting his cookies! HA hahahahaha!

Alison stifled a laugh at Longshot's cookie grabbing. If this was any indication of things to come, then their children were going to have their mommy wrapped right around their little fingers. She kind of didn't mind, though.

"Hey," she grinned down at the tiny blond. "How many cookies do you have, huh?"

"One-a each," Longshot replied before he nibbled on the peanut putter cookie. He fluttered his eyes innocently.

Asuka put her hand in front of her mouth to hide her smile. It took her a second to regain composure. She looked at John. "Will just the two of us be enough? It was just me and Longshot and you see what happened with that."

She gestured to the cookie-munching kid nestled happily in Alison's lap.
