Archer had relocated to the manor a few weeks ago. The basement of his uncle's place was a bit unfit for Archer's new little family. So he now owned a large wing of the manor where the household staff wouldn't ever venture. They wouldn't have to worry about other people intruding upon their lives. There was enough space in this wing of the house where everyone could have their own room.
Archer grinned and looked down at his newest 'guest' of sorts. She was still out cold from the chloroform but should be waking soon, though he was too excited to let her wake on her own. "Darling wake up." he called from the bedside post at the end of the bed. He'd woken Hana and Puff before he made his way into Mommy's room. They would be in here soon enough.

Hotaru blinked a few times, feeling herself waking up. She had a terrible headache, and had the worst nightmare too. She had been kidnapped by Hana and these two other people, and Jack was nearly dead and-
She paused when her eyes came into focus with the room she was in. This wasn't hers and Jack's bedroom... The redhead rubbed her eyes as she sat up a little, she could have cried if it weren't for one of her kidnappers being nearby. So that hadn't been a nightmare, it was all real... "Where am I?" she demanded to know right off the bat. She paused when she saw the Kuma's face for the first time. He was in jeans and a nice button-up shirt, he honestly didn't look too ba- WAITWAITWAIT! She was stopping her thoughts RIGHT there! The guy was bad news, she knew that, and she had every intention of staying AWAY from those hands of his as much as she could. The Tora hated this already, she really wanted Jack right now...
Hana was skipping her way into Mommy's room, Puff at her side. "We get to see Mommy~" she sang as they went. She was thrilled to death! She started thinking about all the fun they would have, puppet shows and dress-up, and all kinds of other fun stuff~ She peeked her little head in the room and giggled. "Mommy~? Daddy~?"

Puff had been awoken that morning by his new daddy getting him up instead of an alarm clock. It looked like he had slept in judging by how light it was outside, and before long his new sister was dragging him out of his room. Dragging wasn't really the best word though, he was excited to meet their new mommy properly. Just looking at him wouldn't lead one to believe he was the same man as last night. His sleep-shirt was a size too large for him with little cartoon sheep gallivanting across it, the pants were flannel sleep-pants and he wore bear-foot slippers.
Hana simply stuck her head into the room, but Puff burst in, tackling the woman on the bed. "Mommy!" he cheered. With his attire and his voice, he was sure he appeared much younger than usual. That was alright though, it was bound to make mommy more willing to stay.

Archer smirked at Hotaru's wandering gaze and again as her eyes hardened. She'd eventually get over that part. "You're home." he answered in response to her question. He glanced back at the door at the little head peeking in. "Please don't hurt their feelings." he murmured quietly right before Puff busted into the room and launched himself onto the bed. The man was much older than Archer yet he always seemed to be like a child. He sincerely hoped Hotaru wouldn't hurt their feelings... They just wanted a family. "Puff don't hurt Mommy. She just woke up. I'm sure she'd like a minute to use the restroom and freshen up a bit." he said with a smile to the white haired man child.

Hotaru's eyes grew wide as she was tackled, barely containing a scream as he... hugged her? She looked at the white haired man for a moment and froze. This was the guy that nearly killed Jack... and he was acting like a little kid? Okay Hotaru, stay calm, stay calm, don't freak out too much. She wasn't too sure HOW to react at that moment, she just stayed there, speechless. She still didn't understand this whole Mommy business, it was starting to annoy her. However, she was a little too terrified to try and protest at the moment.
Hana followed right behind Puff, but she stood beside Daddy for the moment, waiting for her turn to hug Mommy. She squealed quietly to herself, it was hard for her to keep this to herself!

Puff looked over to his daddy and smiled. "I'm not gonna hurt her, daddy, I just wanted to give her a good morning hug." He couldn't stop smiling. He had a daddy and a mommy and a sister too~! It almost beat having his big brother, almost. The white-haired man let Hotaru go after a moment or two more and looked over to Hana to signal that it was her turn to hug the redhead if she wanted to.

The redhead took a long breath to try calming her nerves after Puff let her go. Okay, so they weren't gonna kill her, that was always good. Though when Hana jumped to hug Hotaru, she wasn't scared in the slightest. To her Hana had always been an annoying little kid following her around. So, in response to the little Tora's hug, Hotaru grabbed her shoulder and pushed her away. "Get. Away."
Hana went to hug her new mommy eagerly, though she frowned when she was pushed away. "But Mommy, I just wanted a hug..." her big green eyes attempted to look sad, and it worked pretty well too, Hana loved acting.
Hotaru looked down at her furiously. "Child, I'm not-" she stopped, common sense kicking in and telling her that it wasn't wise to rebel when you're surrounded by your kidnappers. Especially when said kidnappers could easily break a bone or two.

Archer sighed and walked to the side of the bed and picked up Hana. He held her to his hip and smiled at her. "Come on Shortie, let Mommy get dressed and you'll get your hug after she's woken up." he walked to the door and set Hana on feet. He ruffled her hair and waved Puff out of the room. "I need to talk to Mommy real quick so I'll meet you two in the kitchen." he closed the door and turned to Hotaru.
The pyro sighed again and plopped down in the desk chair. "Listen... I know you'd rather not be here, but since you are you're going to have to understand. Hana and Puff are going to continue and call you Mommy whether you like it or not. I know you and Hana had a slight past but she really just wants a family. So you're going to have to get over the aversion to it all. Don't hurt their feelings... As you can tell they're definitely not like most people and I doubt they'd have any qualms about adding to your scar collection." he paused and nodded to the bathroom. "There's clothes in the bathroom and plenty of towels. I suggest you take a shower and get dressed then come down for breakfast. At least accept the hugs." he said getting up and walking to the door to wait for her reply before he left.

Hana's frown soon turned back into a wide grin as she hugged Daddy. "Okay~! C'mon Puff, let's go!" she exclaimed, taking Puff's hand and walking out of the room. She wondered what all there was to eat around here, the place was huge, so it had to have some good stuff!
Hotaru listened to the Kuma impatiently, flinching a little when he mentioned her scars yet again, he really wasn't gonna let that go. This wasn't fair, she didn't ask to be part of this made up family! She didn't even have any intentions of being a mom for AT LEAST a very long time! The redhead was about to protest, but quickly realized this was no place for her to back talk for the moment. She was use to charging into things without a plan made out, she'd have to be more careful about this one. Hana may have been the one to organize this little group, but something in her gut was telling her that the guy in front of her was the true mastermind behind everything. She was a little surprised when she saw he was just going to leave. Wasn't he suppose to stay and make sure she didn't escape or something? Whatever, she wasn't going to say anything about that, no need to give him ideas. "Don't expect me to be the perfect Mommy, Dear." she spat the last word out as cold as she could manage as she made her way to the bathroom, slamming the door shut.
She took as long as she possibly could to shower before the steam started to be too much for her. She wrapped herself in a towel and looked for the clothes he said he laid out for her. "... Oh you've got to be kidding..." she groaned when she saw the shirt laying next to a pair of jeans. It was short, VERY short; it looked like it'd be barely enough to cover what NEEDED to be covered. She frowned when she noticed her old clothes were nowhere in sight. Son of a....
After a few more minutes she hesitantly walked out of the room, wrapping her arms around her stomach to try and hide her scars. This place was so big, she was bound to get lost at some point, she just knew it.

After Archer left Hotaru's room he went to his own to finish the bars on the windows. He'd already put them on every other window in his wing and had an extra set of locks placed on the outer doors. He was just leaving his room to head downstairs to the kitchen when he heard Hotaru come from her room. He leaned against the wall as he watched her look around lost like. He chuckled and shook his head. "Lost already?" he asked with a smirk. "The Kitchen is this way." he gestured behind him to the stair way. "How's pancakes sound?" he asked as he turned and started to make his way down.

Hotaru frowned, following the Kuma anyway as he led her to the kitchen. "I'm not hungry." she muttered. She wasn't ready to give into the 'Family' thing yet. The Tora looked at him for a moment. It was so odd, just what, last night? They were all completely different people, now they were hugging her and calling her Mommy and it was all just too weird for her! What creeped her out the most was how calm everything seemed to be, she felt like they were setting her up for something.
Her train of thought stopped when they entered the kitchen. Hana was sitting down talking to Puff until she noticed her mommy and daddy enter. "Mommy~!" she exclaimed, hopping back up on her feet. She made her way over to the redhead and tried hugging her again. Hotaru kept herself from pushing her away again, hesitantly patting the girl's head instead of hugging her back. This would take a lot to get use to, she just hoped she could find a way out before she really did get use to it.

Puff waved to mommy as he was led from the room by Hana, an extra spring in his step. The pair chatted for a bit, and eventually both daddy and mommy made their way into the kitchen. Puff could have sworn he heard the mention of pancakes though. "Can we have pancakes, daddy?" The white-haired man asked, gaze hopeful and obviously restraining himself from tackling Hotaru again. "I want pancakes." He COULD cook them himself, but then what would be the point in having a daddy or mommy?

Archer chuckled and started to pull out the needed items. "Pancakes it is Puff." he said as he started to mix it. Once he had the pancakes going on the griddle he went to the fridge and got out the Orange Juice and poured himself a glass. He downed it in one drink and pulled out three more cups. He wasn't sure if everyone liked orange juice or even drank it but if they didn't he wouldn't waste it. "Drink up, it's good for you." he said as he turned back to the griddle and flipped the pancakes. "So I was thinking today we could do some things as a family since Mommy is here now. Hana, Puff what'd you wanna do first?" He flipped the pancakes on the plates and slide it across the bar to them. He eventually had a nice stack of pancakes on the four plates done and ready to be eaten. He placed the syrup in front of the three and let them go first.

Puff nearly attacked his plate of pancakes, stopping himself after two bites as he remembered that his mommy was here now, so manners might be a good thing... After all, he didn't want her to not like him. Even if it was a mommy's JOB to love her kids, that didn't mean he couldn't make sure... "Mwhmm Mwe mrph hromph mmph!" He grunted out, attempting (and failing) to voice his idea to his family through a mouthful of fried batter.

Hotaru took a seat, still keeping her arms over her stomach. She didn't want to eat, she felt too sick to even try. She looked at the two... kids, for a moment as they were eating. Puff seemed to have forgotten his manners for a moment, but quickly picked them back up again, Hana was a little more polite with her eating from the start. The redhead raised a brow slightly at Puff's muffled speaking. She couldn't tell what he was saying, she personally didn't want to know either.
Hana looked over at Puff, giggling at his attempt to speak. "What?" she asked him cheerfully. She wanted to know what Big Brother wanted to do first.
