"But Isakawa, you're my dear husband, so it brings me so much happiness to protect you," she coughed as she held his face with a smile. She added, "And I'm not going to die you, idiot,"

She slowly stood up, her hand in his as he helped her. "So stop acting like a baby and let's check what that monster was protecting," she said with a hint of enthusiasm in her voice as her eyes glimmered with curiosity. "I bet it's some ancient artifact."

Isakawa looked at her and laughed, "Fine, let us check and see what's in that pod."

About eight of Isakawa's bodyguards escorted him as they walked up the strange pod.

Isakawa then laid his hand on the pod, and it automatically opened up.

Jennifer peeped into the pod to see what was inside, but to her surprise, it was a small, but gorgeous russet brown skinned baby with long black crystalline hair and shiny hetromania purple and black eyes. The little baby had a left pupil shaped as a Purple diamond, while the right pupil was shaped like a Black Diamond.

Isakawa and Jennifer both stared at the baby in shock before turning to look at each other confused.

Jennifer reached her hand forward to touch the baby that was sleeping peacefully.

She peeked in the baby's diaper, and she blurted out, "It's… a girl," as she looked at Isakawa.

He gave her a puzzled look, "So what are we going to do with this child?"

"Let's adopt her," she answered, with little hesitation in her voice.

"Huh? What !! That's madness. We don't even know what that child is…," he refuted.

"But she's so cute and looks just look at those adorable eyes, who could ever resist them?"

Jennifer picked up the baby, cradling her gently.

The child opened up her eyes slowly and the second she saw Jennifer she smiled brightly, giggling happily.

Jennifer, stood there paralyzed and squealed in excitement, "She will be my child." She declared.

Isakawa looked at the child suspiciously, but the child looked back at Isakawa and gave a big smile.

Isakawa, touched by the child's cuteness, coughed to hide being flustered, "Well she doesn't look bad. I doubt an infant could be that dangerous, so we might as well keep her, if you're so hellbent on it."

Jennifer looked happily at Isakawa that she could have her way.

She looked down at the baby again and to her surprise, all of a sudden, the baby's hair turned black like Jennifer's hair and her eyes changed from purple to blue bright eyes like Isakawa's.

"What just happened?" he mumbled.

"I don't know. Why does the baby look like us?" Jennifer asked with a confused face.

"It could be that this child is an Ability user." He said, hand on his chin.

She shrugged her head, "That could explain what we just saw. Well, even if it's something else, it doesn't matter to me anyway since she's so cute and adorable. She deserves to be shown some love." Jennifer squealed as she cuddled the baby.

"Now you'll call me mummy, and he's daddy," she said to the baby, pointing at herself and Isakawa with a warm smile on her face.

"And we'll name you Iris."

‧˚₊ ︵︵﹕✧﹕︵︵ ︵︵﹕✧﹕︵︵ ₊‧

Iris was peacefully sleeping when she awoke, seeing a woman looking down at me with a captivated expression. She also saw a man standing beside her, and she slowly realized that she was being held.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

'This is strange. I'm surprised I can be held so easily,' she thought to herself.

She opened her eyes, clearly hoping to get a good look at them, and she was bewildered.

She seriously wished she could cry with joy. 'The couple were the most kindest people I've ever seen since I woke up.'

'What a lucky person I am,' the man she saw had light blue hair with light blue eyes and brown skin and the woman had dark black hair with black eyes with fair skin.

They both stared at Iris as they constantly used the word baby.

Iris was confused, and she tried to get a look at herself. She raised her hand to touch the lady and realized how small she was.

"Did I get smaller??!!" She asked herself.

She tried to speak, but all that could come out was "gaga, gyaaaa."

'Wait a second… I'm a baby!'

Now that she came to the realization, shock slowly washed over her.

'So, I became a baby. That part seemed clear-cut, but how, is what I wondered.'

As she tried to figure out her situation, she heard them speaking with each other.

"Dear, we can't leave this child here," the woman wept as she looked into my eyes.

The man replied to his wife, looking worried, "But we don't know what the child is."

"But it looks like she was abandoned!"

'I looked like a baby in my current state I guess,' Iris thought about it for a second but didn't know how or why, so she decided to leave the panic behind. Deciding, she wouldn't let this bother her.

'I do wonder, though, where am I? What happened to me? And who was I?'

Those were the questions that flowed through her mind. All of those questions seemed impossible to answer however, seeing how my memory was completely blank.

That man and woman who she first saw when opening her eyes then adopted her, apparently. They took her in as their daughter since they couldn't have children of their own, and they became her new family.

｡*ﾟ✧-------------------•̀✧•́------------------✧*.

Five years passed so quickly. Iris was as jolly as ever.

Iris came running down the stairs from her room hurriedly to the living room.

"Daddy! It's time daddy, come quick, they are going to show Starlight Girl's interview," Iris shouted eagerly with joy.

Isakawa chuckled, "Okay, okay, I am coming Iris."

Iris had lovely brown skin, with short black hair down to her shoulders. Her pair of large blue adorable-looking innocent eyes were her best feature, or at least that's what mum always told her. She was also tall, for an ordinary 5-year-old, anyway.

Their living room was huge, being the biggest room in the whole house. It was shaped like a square. The room was covered with lovely and expensive tiles and walls of glass opposite each side of the room. This room boasted her family's incredible wealth.

A family picture was hung on the wall above the fireplace. That picture has been there since Iris was two years old. Isakawa had been the one to suggest they took a family picture together to make the living room look warmer with love.

The room was painted in different shades of white and gray, along with clear glass framed windows.

Iris sat down on our warm gray family couch as she snatched the remote to switch on the smart television, which was wide and big.

She got comfortable as she waited for her mum and dad. Jennifer came dressed in her Pajamas and Isakawa came in sportswear, Iris guessed he went for his morning exercise.

Her Dad and mum then came to sit by her as they cuddled together to watch the news together.

Her mum, Jennifer Clover, has lovely black hair and eyes. She is Japanese, and she is a very beautiful lady, with a slim figure and lovely fair skin. She is also 27 years old and looks so young. Furthermore, she has a cold look, but with a warm heart and a calming voice, with a very kind personality.

And her dad Isakawa Subaru. He's an American. He has cool blue hair that reaches his waist, has dark lovely blue eyes that compliment his dark skin, with a well-built body, and is 6'3 feet tall. Furthermore, he has a calm personality and can easily deal with serious issues, a man who is willing to always achieve his goal. However, Isakawa never says anything about his family for some reason.

'It's really hard having a handsome dad and beautiful mum, but I still love them,' Iris thought as she looked at her mum and dad.

They all watched the TV as the news reporter then gave an announcement.

News Reporter: "We've received news that the B class dungeon released monsters into the city in Hawaii. The dungeon monsters have caused trouble for the inhabitants of the island and people also lost their lives in that incident.

But we have good news, now the monsters have been cleared by the Heroes and the whole resort Island is safe from destruction. We're most thankful to the heroes for helping us once again."

"Wow!!! They're so cool!!" Iris gasped in excitement as her eyes began to sparkle.

"But they skipped Starlight Girl's interview, I waited for all week for this!!!" Iris yelled.

"Mum, dad, aren't they cool?" Iris asked them as she pointed to the heroes displayed on the news who were waving to the crowd.

"Yes, they are, my child," Jennifer replied.

"If they weren't so fake, nobody wants to think about why they were so late," Isakawa growled.

'Even when Daddy is angry, he's still so handsome for some reason,' Iris thought, staring at Isakawa's face.

"No Iris!" She slapped her face, "He's your dad," she said to herself crying, causing Isakawa to look at her confused.

Watching the news, Isakawa always gave off the impression of hatred against the heroes. Iris wanted to ask him why, but she was afraid to try, so she just ignored him.

Iris stood up on the chair, her hands in her waist as she smiled brightly, "I would like to become a hero when I grow up, so I can protect mum and dad and others."

"Okay, we'll wait and see that day," Jennifer giggled with a smile.
