It was around two in the morning at Yoshi's Island.  All was still and quiet as the inhabitants slept in their homes, including the legendary family that lived in a simple home that sat deep in the forest.  Chaoshi and Serenity were sleeping together in their large, comfy bed, dreaming of whatever they pleased.  However, a loud cry suddenly caused them to sit up from under the warm covers.  The crying sound was echoing through the nearby hallway.

"I'll take care of Anastasia...you go ahead and try to get back to sleep."  Chaoshi whispered as he slowly climbed out of his bed.

Chaoshi struggled to keep himself up as he slowly walked down the hallway, rubbing his eyes as he moved.  The volume of the crying quickly increased as he grew closer to Anastasia's room.  He finally entered the room and focused his attention to the crib that Anastasia laid in.  Her room was small, but the walls were painted completely blue with little clouds painted in many spots.  A small cabinet sat across the room from the crib.  The crib itself was completely white and Anastasia was stirring under her light blue blanket.  Chaoshi approached the crib and looked down to see Anastasia as she squirmed.  He reached down and lifted the young Yoshi into his arms.

"Sh...Calm down my daughter...daddy's here..." Chaoshi silently stated as he rocked her in his arms.

Anastasia's cries slowly turned into light sobs and whimpers.  Her eyes slowly opened to see her father looking at her with his tired, yet loving eyes.  After another few quiet moments, her whimpers finally ceased.

"Much better..."  Chaoshi stated as he began to smile.

Chaoshi continued to rock Anastasia with a gentle motion, making her coo in content.  As he continued to rock her, Anastasia's small eyes began to slowly close.  Within moments, she was sound asleep once again.  Chaoshi then carefully placed back Anastasia back in her crib and pulled the blanket over her petite body.  He lowered his head and gave Anastasia a light kiss on the head.

"Have a good rest my special daughter..."  Chaoshi softly said before he left to return to his room.

Chaoshi soon turned around and made his way out of the room.

The next few hours pass without interruption before Chaoshi and Serenity finally awoke to the sunlight that pierced the heart of the room through the window.

"Good morning dear."  Serenity kindly spoke.

"Good morning Serenity."  Chaoshi said before giving Serenity a light kiss on the cheek.

"Did you manage to get a good sleep?"  Serenity asked.

"Yeah, I was able to get a good rest after getting Anastasia to fall asleep again."  Chaoshi replied.

"Well, you go ahead and get Anastasia while I get her some breakfast ready."  Serenity suggested as she climbed out of the bed.

Chaoshi nodded and followed suit with Serenity.  He then walked back to Anastasia's room while Serenity walked towards the kitchen.  Upon entering the room, Chaoshi saw Anastasia wiggling around in her crib, playing with the few toys that sat in it.  Chaoshi couldn't help but laugh to himself before approaching her.  He reached down and scooped the young Yoshi into his arms and then rubbed his finger against her small tummy, making her giggle in response.

"Are you hungry?"  Chaoshi asked, even though he knew Anastasia couldn't talk yet.

Anastasia just looked him blankly, occasionally blinking as her eyes remained fixed on her father.

"I'll take that as a yes."  Chaoshi said as he carried her out of the room.

As Chaoshi returned to the confines of the kitchen, he could see Serenity pulling out a small jar of baby food before placing it by a small bottle of apple juice on the table.  As she did so, Chaoshi placed Anastasia in a baby seat that sat on one of the chairs that surrounded the wooden table.  Anastasia raised her in curiosity as Chaoshi took a chair and brought it beside her and took his seat.  Serenity twisted the top off the jar and then dipped a small spoon into the baby food, taking some of it onto the spoon.

"Alright Anastasia.  Open wide."  Serenity asked in a playful manner.

Anastasia shook her head in refusal.  Serenity tried to press the spoon into her mouth, but Anastasia's mouth was shut tight, denying entrance.  Thus, some of the food ended up smearing onto her face, causing Chaoshi to laugh lightly.  Serenity kept trying to get Anastasia to open her mouth, but she still continued to refuse.  Finally, Chaoshi rubbed his finger against her belly, making her giggle again and give Serenity her chance.  Serenity took advantage of it and slowly placed the spoon into her mouth.  Anastasia clamped down on the spoon.  After a moment, Serenity pulled it out, seeing that she licked it clean.

The feeding antics kept going for ten more minutes before Anastasia finally ate all the food in the jar.  As Serenity lifted her out of her seat, she took the bottle and pressed the nozzle into her mouth, letting Anastasia sip on the sweet juice.  She smiled and closed her eyes as she sucked.  As she drank, Chaoshi and Serenity walked into the living room.  It was simple in design, made up of only a couch, a television, some pictures on the wall and a couple of tables.  Chaoshi and Serenity sat on the floor and then placed Anastasia between each other.  Anastasia was still gripping the drink, taking in as much of the juice that her little mouth could.  She sometimes tilted her body to the side as she drunk.  Chaoshi soon reached down and held her in his arms, causing her to drop the bottle onto the ground.  Her arms reached down in an attempt to get the bottle, making her father laugh.

"No Anastasia, you had enough juice."  Chaoshi said before he laid himself onto his back, allowing Anastasia to lie on his chest.

She looked up in curiosity and grabbed hold of Chaoshi's nose.  Serenity smiled as she played with her dad.  Chaoshi didn't speak another word as Anastasia had her fun.

Both he and Serenity knew that she would be destined for great things to come.  However, when would they happen to her and how would she react would be left for the power of time to reveal.
