"Okay, Dad, here's some food!" Nya announced, holding up the spoon to him. "Eat up!"
Her father glared at the spoon, then shook his head vigorously in defiance.
"Why not?" She asked. "Just two minutes ago you said you wanted some!"
"No!" He denied, knocking the spoon from her hand, the mush soaring from the utensil and upon Nya's face.
Kai let out a quick, roaring laugh at his sister's expense. Nya ignored him, trying to hide her frustration.
"Come on, you'll never do it that way." Kai declared.
He moved to Nya's previous position, taking a new spoonful for his father. He inched the spoon closer to his dad's mouth until the spoon hit the toddler's unmoving lips. Ray swung back his head and once again yelled "No!" and flung the food to the face of his feeder - only this time, Kai didn't laugh.
Applesauce dripping off her brother's chin, Nya released a brief giggle. One long and messy meal later, they had finally gotten their father to consume the food. His eyelids began to droop, and he seemed less energetic.
"I think it's time we get him to bed." Maya suggested.
The two ninja agreed, allowing their mother's gentle arms to place the infant upon the soft sleeping mat. He shut his eyes and a soft snore gradually came upon his lips. "Y'know, he seems pretty cute when he's asleep." Nya noted.
"Yeah." Kai agreed. "You know, we understand it will be hard to take care of him this way. If you want, we can help take care of him - we're close relatives too."
Suddenly, a loud, gross noise sounded from the no-longer sleeping baby. Maya crouched down and picked him up. "Yep, that's a full diaper." She confirmed.
"On second thought, maybe we should go." Kai considered.
"Yeah!" Nya agreed. "As you said, this won't last long! We'll see you later!"
As her children hurried out of the shop, she shouted, "This will be you one day! I promise! Just wait until you have children! He and I will be here, laughing at your expense!"
As the two siblings sped away on their motorcycles, Nya glanced over at her brother. "Wait," She said, ". . .what about Wu?"
