*Skah*

I opened my eyes and found Daiyu with her head against my bare chest.

"Wakey, wakey," I said, tapping her head.

"Can't you let me sleep some more?" she said as she snuggled me.

I laughed. "Alright, but could you let me go. I need to go get things ready for Roa's birthday party."

My wife's eyes opened. 

"Roa's birthday!" she said as she jumped off the bed and put on a crimson robe. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

I ran a hand through my white hair. "I didn't take that long to say it..."

"True, but every second counts. I trust that you sent out all of the invitations?"

I nodded. "Yup! This birdie delivered them all!"

She gave me a deadpan look. "Stop with the bird jokes, they aren't funny."

I rubbed the back of my neck and laughed. "Was aiming more for cute than funny."

Daiyu sighed. "You're cuter when you don't try too hard."

My face flushed a little. "I see..." I stood up and picked my white robe from the ground. "I'm going to go get cleaned up. Care to join me?"

She pulled out a piece of paper from the pocket of her robe and glanced over it slowly. "I'll take one later, got to go over the list while I still have time."

I snickered and walked up behind her, putting my arms around her waist. "You worry too much, dear. I already glanced over it last night. We got everything we need, it's all a matter of putting it together."

She cleared her throat. "Then, I better start on piecing everything before the kids wake up and start making things hectic."

"In that case, I'll help," I said, letting go of her. "That way, it'll be quicker, right?"

Daiyu smirked. "No, sir. Your job is to distract the kids."

"True, but if while they're still in bed, I can aid you as much as I can."

She scratched her head. "I appreciate it, but I rather do it on my own. If anything ends up being out of place, I would just end up blaming you."

Hmm, perhaps it is for the best that I let her do all of the decoration stuff.

"Plus, you've already helped enough by making the centerpieces of the party."

"Look at me!" we heard a familiar voice yell.

"Woah!" a couple of voices said collectively.

Suddenly, the sound of glass or ceramics clashing to the floor silenced the voices.

"I'll take care of that!" I yelled, running out of the room.

Daiyu sighed behind me.

My eyes widened as I arrived at the stairs where my four youngest kids looked down at their big brother in shock.

Roa rubbed his head as he pushed himself up the floor.

"Roa!" I yelled, leaping into the air and flying over to him.

My oldest son glanced at the broken vase. It was a wedding gift from my sister-in-law, Anis.

He gulped and said, "Sorry, Dad."

I wrapped my arms around him and held out my hand over his head, covering it in a golden aura. The aura spread throughout his body.

"The vase doesn't matter. Now hold still for a moment."
