Small surprises.

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."

"Hmmm. I think we missed a spot." Alison smiled and grabbed the soapy washcloth. She started with his face and scrubbed her way down to his little toes. The toes she couldn't resist tickling lightly as they came into reach.

"You are so darn cute. How did you get that way, huh?" She kissed the top of his head.

"PLECH!" SOAPY WASHCLOTH BAD! ICKY! PATOOIE! Longshot made lots of disgusted faces after the washcloth left his face. Those faces stopped when he was getting tickled.

"Eee!" He pinwheeled his arms a bit and nearly fell off of Ali. He caught himself before he broke his little behind. He blinked up at Ali.

"I stop being cute when I'm growed up?" He looked down. "Must be 'cause my toes get bigger."

He wiggled his toes for emphasis.
