"Oniii"

Seeing her childishly handsome big brother Owen Alexander coming towards her, the eight-month-old Anaya Alexander squealed. Now that she was living her second life, Anaya went all out on her unspoken fantasies.

One of them was having an elder brother so she could call him 'Oni San' or 'Aniki' like all those countless manga and anime characters she loved did. As an only child in her past life, Anaya Brooks never had the chance to accomplish such dreams. So, now that she actually had two elder brothers, she would never let go of the god-given opportunity.

This lead the eldest son of the dignified Alexander family to be called "Onii" while the second son being called "Anii", amusing the entire household not knowing why this tiny toddler gave her two elder brothers such unrelated nicknames.

Only the tiny toddler herself knew in her mind how these nicknames came by. As for Anaya Alexander who was not even one year old yet, 'Onisan and 'Aniki' was hard to pronounce. Hence, she shortened them as such until she could use her full vocal cords. Knowing no one suspected how she was calling the two brothers intentionally due to her vocal deficiency, Anaya was quite proud of herself.

As new goals in this life, Anaya decided to learn as many languages as she could. But her main okatu self's focus was to learn Japanese. Other than Japanese, she was keen on Korean and maybe French on top as French always had that sexy feeling to it when someone spoke in the language.

Anaya Alexander had always been a nerd her previous life, to more accurately to put, she was a closeted Okatu. Hence she never had the chance to flaunt her hobbies too openly due to various reasons. Only Hugo Brooks and Callie Alexander knew of this side of hers.

"Little Rabbit, did you miss brother?"

Anaya Alexander was clueless on why Owen Alexander insisted on calling her little rabbit. Though she felt ridiculous names in such an embarrassing way, she still forgave the little brat just because he was one of her sole entertainment portals.

Even though she had a soul of a twenty-plus Aunty, right now, she was occupying a helpless newborn baby who could hardly keep her head up straight. Because of the hardships of being a newborn, Anaya Alexander had to give up her pride and treat the little guy as her elder brother.

What other choice did she have? She was at the stage where she could not hold her bladder and needed someone to help with it. So Anaya Alexander had no other choice but to grudgingly accept the reality and start enjoying the time she could laze around as a child with no responsibilities.

Owen Alexander was an outstanding elder brother. Not only he would come to play with her, he even brought Anaya to his room which had hundreds of comics and translated mangas. Even though the genres were mainly sport and martial arts related, this was heaven for Anaya Alexander who had been missing her books from the day she was hospitalised.

After Owen Alexander realised his little sister smiled even more and clapped her little hands in joy when he showed her his collection, he felt proud. Thus began the days where he would silently read keeping the toddler in his lap letting her enjoy the drawings.

This time he spent with his Little Bunny was one of his most favourite times Owen Alexander cherished. Not that the eight-year-old would ever guess his toddler sister who snuggled in his arms was actually reading the comic with him at an even faster pace than he did.

"How about it Little Rabbit? Shall we have fun before dad comes to steal you? Let's go annoy Ethen a little? That guy study way too much you know."

Anaya Alexander was amused by his attitude towards Ethen. With a baby giggle, she stretched out her arms at Owen Alexander asking him to pick her up.

Owen Alexander was already used to his little sisters' antics. Not only did he skillfully take Anaya Alexander into his arms from the white and baby pink princess cot, but he also secured the little one properly in his embrace so she would not feel any discomfort.

This made Anaya Alexander smile reminiscing how nervous these two brothers were at the beginning when they were forced to hold her by Callie and how adjusted they were now. Now that Anaya could finally hold her own head straight, she started enjoying her surroundings without feeling her head was about to break and fall off her body. Even thinking about that cruel past where she was immobile, Anaya couldn't help but inwardly sigh.

Anaya and Owen Alexander sneakily went inside the elegantly decorated suite which had a dark blue and grey colour scheme. Not only this space had its separate living area, but it was also occupied with a study room and a full suite bathroom showing off the astounding wealth of the Alexander household.

Right when Owen Alexander was about to sneak into the study room, the voice of an annoyed Ethen Alexander came out making Owen Alexander standstill with his face in denial on how he had got caught again.

"Owen, can you please not bother me for once when I'm trying to finish my homework?"

Ethen Alexander, who was still focusing on writing his homework sighed. It always amazed Anaya how Ethen Alexander could always know when Owen Alexander entered his room even without looking to who it was.

After all, Owen Alexander was quite an expert in stealth mode. She had seen how stealthy he could be from the times he had sneaked her out from her baby room to grab her from their silly parents. Plus this time, even Anaya made sure not to let out a peep yet still got caught even before entering the room.

"Ohh, Little Rabbit wanted to play. I suppose I'll take her away then." Giving Anaya a wink, Owen Alexander retorted, carrying an obvious smug smile on his face, not worrying at all about the bitter words Ethen Alexander had just said. This remark of course successfully made Ethen Alexander's head dash towards them in milliseconds.

"Aniiii", knowing it was her cue, Anaya squealed with her face full of smiles. This adorable face of Anaya Alexander successfully brought a small smile to the usually cold faced Ethen Alexander's face while Owen Alexander pecked on her rosy cheek.

"Well, I can always do my homework when dad's back. Where's mom? I thought she was hogging our baby sister to herself again."

This phrase 'Our baby sister' always made Anaya Alexander sentimental. Although these two youngsters were not brothers from birth, they really behaved like one. No one would ever believe these two were not blood-related brothers who had been together for a long time.

Even though the two boys were solar opposites from their looks, likes and dislikes and personalities, they were always united when they fought with the Alexander couple to gain time with their baby sister. Not only did the two sync with each other seamlessly, but their tactic understanding was also much more outstanding than usual siblings at their age.

What Anaya Alexander did not know was, how this unity between the two youngsters constructed because of herself. The two boys who usually did not bother to care for the presence of each other from the day their parents got married now stood together in unison to protect their younger sister.

"She got a call from her office, so I stole my Rabbit while she was distracted."

Owen Alexander who was quite proud of successfully kidnapping his baby sister boasted.

"When did my baby sister became your rabbit?"

Not caring about his chatter, Ethen Alexander retorted while silently patting Anaya's head.

"Of course she's my Rabbit. She loves me the most. Right, little Rabbit?"

Grumbling, Owen Alexander made a face looking at Anaya with Puppy eyes. With his shiny personality and brightly shining blue eyes, Owen Alexander reminded Anaya of a big furry husky begging for treats...

Seeing this pattern again, Anaya Alexander couldn't help but inwardly sigh. These two brothers were really silly just like their parents.

With a helpless face not suiting her age, Anaya Alexander didn't bother to stop them. After going through this routine countless times by now, she knew it was useless.

Hence, with a smile, Anaya looked at both of them, then pecked Owen Alexanders cheek making the boy overjoyed to a point his eyes were bent into crescents. Next, she stretched her arms towards her second target Ethen alexander, making him take her into his arms. After successfully pecking his cheek as well, Anaya Alexander once again gained a rare grin from the usual poker-faced boy. Sometimes Anaya actually suspected that these two were ganging against her and bickered just to get a kiss from her. Sigh.

"Anii, Onii, wuw, wuw."

As the final blow, Anaya made sure to express her love smiling brightly making her budging cheeks go bright pink. Although she still couldn't properly say love, the two boys understood what their little sister was trying to convey making their smiles even wider.

However, this happy little bubble was quickly broken when Callie Alexander walked into the room huffing and puffing fuming in anger.

"My god you two, how on earth could you do this to me? I thought something had happened to my baby angel. I was about to call your dad to send our private security. Hump. You two boys are going to get punished if you do this again. Do you understand Ethen? Owen?"

Glaring at the two boys who were frowning while 'displeasure' written all over their faces, Callie Alexander questioned. Seeing her cute little daughter gazing while hugging Ethens' neck, Callie Alexander could not help but smile while softening her voice.

"Now come to mummy baby. Let's go do some dress up."

Callie Alexander reached out her hands trying to take the toddler away from the two brothers.

"Mummmmm" While the two brothers groaned in sync, Ethen Alexander swiftly backed away from Callie not letting her reach their baby sister.

"What? You two sure are brothers. Stealing away my cute little daughter just when I went out for a minute."

With her hands in her waist, Callie grumbled puffing up her face. Anaya always felt her past best Friend and now mum was acting as if she was a kid as well, fighting the two brothers for her new favourite toy.

Nevertheless, seeing the heavy displeasure on both brother's faces, Callie Alexander's heart felt warm. It was no secret how the two youngsters loved to spend time with their younger sister. This fondness actually reached a point where they got close to each other just so they could kidnap Anaya from her and her husband who also liked to hog their daughter for themselves.

"Well, you were with her the whole time we were in school. So now let us play with her till dad comes back."

Owen Alexander whined making a pitiful face as if Callie Alexander was doing them a huge misdeed. After Anaya's birth, both Owen and Ethen Alexander fully accepted Callie and Damien Alexander as their parents.

Although for Owen Alexander, Thea Rivers would always be his mum, the distance and uninterest he had for Callie was thrown away after he had a little sister who he wanted to protect. Of course, he still loved Thea Rivers just the same. Except now he showed no difference between the treatment he gave Callie Alexander and Thea Rivers.

In his mind, having two mothers was always better than one. He was completely convinced about this that he actually asked Ethen Alexander to share Thea Rivers as his mum as well. Ethen Alexander who was actually much mature than his actual age nodded giving Owen Alexander a genuine smile for the first time, knowing he was not a bad individual to hang out with. Not only did this little episode made Ethen Alexander accept Owen Alexander as his brother, but the reservation he had towards Damien Alexander also vanished as well.

Seeing her two brothers and the childish mother still bickering over her, Anaya couldn't help but sigh once again. She actually felt as if she was the only adult in that room.

Oh, Callie, when had you become this Petty? Anaya couldn't help but shake her little head in disappointment. Her small body always got lethargic after a certain time. Feeling her eyelids becoming heavy, Anaya Alexander nestled in her big brother's warm chest, nuzzling about to get more comfortable. With a yawn, she decided to take a nap till her dad comes home to play with her once again.

By the time the three people in the room finished bickering, the angelic baby had cuddled into her brothers embrace and drifted off to sleep. This made the ever dotingly mother and sons once again swoon at Anaya Alexander while softly arguing on who would take her to her room.

Anaya Alora Alexander who had finally gained an enormous holiday after being reborn, spent all her days peacefully and leisurely, gaining all the love from every member of her new family
