For Kiss-me-in-Paris

How exactly did this happen?" Baba muttered as children ran amuck.

Little Ota grabbed his paints and began to create child's masterpieces....on the wall.

Soryu looked very interested in the gun Baba had put on the highest shelf he could find and was currently trying to find ways to get it.

Mamoru, apparently the most mature child, was currently smacking Ota's head.

Eisuke, perhaps the most childish, was relentlessly teasing Cecilia about apparently everything.

Baba groaned and put his Hancock across his face. How exactly did this happen?

Baba flicked Eisuke's forehead, the latter glaring up to him.

"You don't bully girls. They are delicate and meant to be admired." He said, giving Cecilia a flower.

She blushed and smiled before running off to join Soryu who had given up on the gun and was currently reading a book.

Eisuke rolled his eyes and gave him a firm kick to the shins.

"Ow." Baba rasped out.

"Creepy old man." Eisuke scowled and stalked off.

"Eep!" A tiny voice shouted and jumped on him.

"You come clean this right now!" Mamoru warned.

"Don't wanna." Ota said defiantly despite the fact he was hiding.

What was trash to them was actually a complex painting even adults couldn't pull off.

Eisuke not going to like it. Baba thought with a wince.

Suddenly the door burst open and several expensive trays with food were sent in before they hurried out shouting something about a million dollars owed.

"Who asked for all this?!?" Baba yelped.

Eisuke appeared with a smug look. "Pay for that grandpa."

"Why you-" he took a deep breath. "You little adorable boy. I could just eat you up." Baba forced a smiled and squeezed his cheeks.

"Gross, get off me." Eisuke swatted his hands away and walked off muttering about creepy old men.

Ota had gotten bored creating wall masterpieces and was now chasing Cecilia around, tugging her hair and teasing her relentlessly.

Baba easily picked Ota up by the collar and glared. "Would you just sit down?!"

Ota pretended to think before giving a swift kick to the *ahem* lower parts.

Baba fell down with a groan.

"You alright mister?" Soryu asked with a tilt if his head.

"Of course not! He got hit in his-" Soryu clamped a hand on Mamoru's mouth a shook his head.

"Tsk." Mamoru rolled his eyes before stalking off.

"No offense mister but you aren't very good at this babysitting thing." Soryu pointed out.

"Tell me about it." Baba groaned.

Cecilia skipped up to them and sat on Baba's lap.

"You need to learn how to take care of kids if you are going to have a wife." Soryu said wisely.

"I know, I know. Geez. Who knew kids were such a handful?"

"Everyone. Even us. Especially when we had reached what my mother calls, 'the terrible twos.'" Soryu deadpanned.

Baba sighed and picked the quiet Cecilia up who squealed at the sudden change of height.

"Nap time!" He boomed and picked up the scampering kids, hoping a nap would revert them back to previous state.

"Baba. How exactly did this happen?" Eisuke asked dangerously.

"Y-You see, um, you turned into kids and Ota started drawing on the wall and you ordered a bunch of food and the other went kinda crazy." Baba laughed nervously as Eisuke glowered.

"I remember. But why didn't you clean up?" He glared.

On second thought maybe he shouldn't have wished for them to return.
