Daniel was awakened from his slumber by the soft, tender touch of his mentor and father figure, Mr. Miyagi. His tired, swollen eyes opened slightly to see Mr. Miyagi's face illuminated by a gentle smile.

Mr. Miyagi's eyes held a twinkle as he looked down at the small bundle in Johnny's arms. "Well, hello there, Ariel-San," he greeted the baby, tracing his thumb gently against the baby's tiny palm.

Daniel roused further from his sleep at the sound of his daughter's name. His gaze shifted from Mr. Miyagi to Johnny, who was carefully cradling Ariel in his strong arms.

Johnny turned to Daniel, his voice soft and comforting. "Sweetheart, you don’t have to get up," he made sure to keep his voice low to not startle the baby.

"Mr. Miyagi just stopped by to say hello," he continued. "You deserve the rest after pushing for five hours." Johnny's eyes shone with pride and love as he glanced at Daniel.

Mr. Miyagi's smile turned into a surprised expression. "Five hours?" he inquired. His gaze turned from Daniel to Ariel, his brows furrowing in concern.

"Yes," Johnny nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips. "At one point, Daniel said, 'I'm gonna f-ing punch someone and “Don’t. F*cking. Tell me. WHAT. TO DO.'”

"Sounds like Daniel," Mr. Miyagi chuckled, his eyes filled with amusement. "And Ariel, does she take after her father?" His eyes were full of curiosity as he looked down at the baby girl.

"In more ways than one," replied Johnny, a smirk on his face. "Ariel Lynn LaRusso, named after her fathers and ready to take on the world."

Ariel gave a small coo, her tiny fingers curling around Mr. Miyagi's thumb. He chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Ariel-San," he repeated her name gently.

It was then that Ariel decided to show her inherited fiery spirit. With a giggling coo, the newborn punched Mr. Miyagi in the stomach, making everyone in the room laugh.

Mr. Miyagi held his stomach, laughing heartily. His eyes were glistening with amusement as he looked at Ariel, "She's going to be trouble," he forecasted.

Daniel let out a small chuckle, his eyes showing a mix of exhaustion and pure happiness. "I have no doubt about that," he affirmed, looking lovingly at his daughter.

"We wouldn't have it any other way," Johnny chimed in, his voice filled with laughter. He looked at Ariel with adoration, his heart filled to the brim with love.

Mr. Miyagi kept laughing, his deep, hearty laughter ringing through the room. It was clear to him that Ariel had taken both her fathers' fiery spirit and added her own unique touch to it.

"That's what it's all about," Mr. Miyagi said, his laughter subsiding into a warm, content smile. "Ariel is a unique combination of you both. She truly is Ariel-San."

Daniel smiled sleepily at Mr. Miyagi’s words, feeling a sense of overwhelming love and joy for his newborn daughter. He closed his eyes again, content with the knowledge that Ariel was in good hands.

Johnny looked at Mr. Miyagi, gratitude visible in his eyes. "Thank you for coming, Mr. Miyagi. It means a lot to us." His voice was sincere and low, but still filled with joy.

Mr. Miyagi nodded, his face warm with happiness. "It was my pleasure, Johnny. It has truly been a joy to meet Ariel-San." His voice was soothing and comforting, like a lullaby to Ariel.

With his goodbyes said, Mr. Miyagi moved towards the door but not before he glanced back at Ariel one last time, a soft smile etched on his face. "Being a parent is the greatest joy," he said.

Daniel and Johnny watched as Mr. Miyagi walked out, their hearts brimming with love for their newborn daughter. They were left alone with Ariel, their world filled with warmth and happiness.

They knew that life would not always be easy, but they also knew they wouldn't want it any other way. With Ariel in their lives, their small family was filled with love and happiness.

Looking at Ariel, they saw their own reflection in her eyes. Their shared journey, their shared love, and the shared future they were looking forward to. Ariel was their world now.

They chuckled together, their laughter filling the room as Ariel cooed and fussed in her sleep. She had brought so much joy into their lives. She truly was a blessing.

And so, Ariel-San's journey had only just begun. With two loving fathers, a fiery spirit already apparent, and Mr. Miyagi's wisdom to guide her, she was destined for greatness.
