A/N:

So, I've decided I'm gonna make a collection of small things about this OC now. I mean, I still plan to give Harena her own story eventually, but for smaller, Shepherd related things, it's going in here! :D Ahem, so really, thanks for all the positive feedbacks and things! I'm still a little hesitant about Luci x Gangrel stuff, but you've really played a big part in boosting my confidence with those two. Not everything will be as long as that first chapter, because this was originally intended to be a oneshot, but no more. Er... so... CONTINUING! Right. Please, R&R. Enjoy! Word Count (1,529)


Lucina had guided her new-found daughter to her tent. It was much tidier than plenty of the others around camp. A simple desk and chair in one corner, her bedroll off to the other side. Lucina never found herself in need of many possessions, preferring to live quite simply, so long as she had everything she needed to survive. With a daughter from the future to attend to, she wasn't quite sure how she could handle things. It would most certainly be a rather awkward learning experience for the Ylissean princess. "Set up wherever you like." Lucina said. "You're welcome to move anything around if you so need. I don't mind."

Harena took her time looking around before moving ahead of her mother. Her eyes traveled over the various items Lucina did leave about, which were mostly for weapon maintenance. The girl fiddled around with the hem of her left sleeve, which ended just below her elbow, before turning her attention back to Ylisse's future princess. "Um… Thank you, Mother."

Lucina smiled, though a moment of realization soon dawned on her. "Oh! I uh… should probably get you a bedroll, and some extra clothes so you can clean up, we can figure the rest out at a later date. Stay right here, I need to get Frederick. Erm… my father's-"

"I know who Frederick is." Harena interrupted. "I kinda knew him from my time."

Lucina nodded, watching Harena pull out the chair by her desk and take a seat. Lucina really needed to find out more about her future daughter by the end of this night. A long moment of silence passed between the two, causing the Ylissean princess to rush out before she could make things even more awkward between them. Lucina let out a great breath she didn't even know she was holding. A daughter. How do I even begin to…? The princess let out a frustrated groan as these thoughts kept swirling around her head.

Lucina continued on her way through camp, hoping to find Frederick, or at least Cherche. They would certainly be able to help her with the supply issue. Maybe even offer a bit of advice about this future-child-parenting thing she now found herself in. It would certainly be some time before her own father accepted this. The thought of Gangrel soon came up as well, how he might accept this. Harena was so reserved, she didn't know how the girl might react around her father of this timeline.

Lucina finally found Frederick's tent. She pushed these thoughts aside as she entered. "Sir Frederick, if I may- Oh, Lady Cherche!"

Cherche was alone in the tent, sitting on the edge of her cot with sewing materials, patching up a pair of trousers. She looked up at the princess right away, placing her materials to the side. "Ah, Lucina. Oh, and might I say congratulations."

Lucina could feel her face heating up. She hoped Cherche wasn't congratulating her for what she thought. "Wh-What?"

"Why, your daughter, silly. Oh, future daughter." Cherche stated, somehow, much more excited that Lucina. "I can't wait to introduce dear Minervykins to her." She continued on about letting the whole camp know, while Lucina merely stood in shock, baffled at how she knew about this already. It hadn't even been an hour, and things were seeming to spread this quickly already. "Oh, your father told us." The wyvern rider added. "Frederick is already taking supplies over now."

"Ah." Lucina let out. It was really the only thing she could say at this point. "I'll just… head back." The princess stated, darting out before Cherche could say any more.

Another great breath escaped the princess. She knew she shouldn't be, but it was just so embarrassing to have people know about this. She wasn't even married, much less, engaged. For some future child to appear now, of all times… it could have been a little later, at least while she was a little surer of her future. Not to say she wasn't serious about Gangrel, but this was just too much at once.

A pair of hands found their way around Lucina's eyes, bringing her pace to a halt. "Guess who." The owner said.

Lucina let out a sigh, she was not in a mood for games. "Not now." She grumbled.

"Oh, come now." The person cried out. "Just play along for a bit. You'll get a prize."

"Fine." The princess finally let out. "Would this be Gangrel?"

"That is correct, milady!" He admitted, bringing his hands away from Lucina's eyes, and using them to turn her to face him. "And your prize…" He tilted Lucina's head up to bring themselves together for a gentle meeting of their lips. He backed away, still keeping his eyes locked with hers. "Now, wasn't that worth it?"

It certainly lifted her spirits. Lucina found herself unable to hold back the grin which traced itself across her features, a blush already coloring her face. "Well, yes, but you know how my father would react if he saw."

Gangrel let out quite a laugh after Lucina's statement. "Ah, well that's just something he'll have to get used to." He burst out.

Not anymore… Lucina's grin faded. "Heh. Well, he has a new reason to keep us apart now."

A look of confusion soon crossed the former king's face. "And what might that be? He's already taken his anger out on me enough times."

A rather nervous kind of smile crossed the Ylissean princess' face. "He definitely has a new reason…"

It most certainly didn't clear things up. Gangrel still stood there with the same confused look on his face as he watched Lucina. "Eh?"

"I think I need to show you something." The princess finally said. Well… 'someone'.

Gangrel raised an eyebrow to Lucina's statement. "Would this person be spreading rumors about you then? I'll be sure to straighten them out!"

Lucina started leading Gangrel away, without speaking another word. Calm yourself, she kept telling herself. No rumors. Just a… future daughter, who's about to meet her father… A nervous expression crossed Lucina's face as each step took her closer to the tent she now shared with Harena. How will he even react? How will she react?

The two soon stood out at the entrance to the tent that the Ylissean princess now shared with her future daughter. Gangrel stood, impatiently waiting, with his arms crossed. Lucina, meanwhile, nervously reached a hand out toward one of the flaps of her tent. "Harena?" She called upon her entrance. "I brought someone I think you should meet. Well, right now, that is."

Harena seemed to have organized her belongings well enough for the time she had. Frederick had indeed stopped by, as her bedroll was already lain out. Knives, Lucina had never noticed on her daughter's person, lay on the desk that belonged to the Ylissean princess. Harena had already taken off her scarf, having set on top of her bedroll, and taken out the band which had loosely held her father's red hair, allowing it to now fall freely around her shoulders. She turned around at the sound of her name being called, eyes widening upon having taken in who had come to greet her. She rose from her seat, cautiously approaching the two. "Y-You brought Father?" She whispered out.

Lucina nodded as a stunned look crossed Gangrel's face. "Hold on!" He cried out as he snapped back into reality. "You said Father… Am I missing something here? Did you know about this, Lucina?"

"N-Not until today!" She quickly stated in defense. "I know for certain, she's not from the future I came from!"

"Oh really?" Gangrel took a few steps closer, studying the one in front of him. A huge smirk soon crossed his face. "Bahaha! Oh, of any reason for Chrom to hate me, this is just too perfect!"

Wait… What's going on here? Lucina started to question, as Gangrel nearly squished his newfound daughter in a strong embrace. "I… uh… You took that rather well…" She stated. …Better than me.

"Of course!" The former king shouted out, finally letting his daughter go, a deep breath of air being heard now that she was finally free. "Ah, I wonder how your father is taking this right now, my dear Luci."

"Not well…" Lucina muttered.

"Exactly! We should start right now!"

"What?" Lucina exclaimed, her face having flushed a deep red.

Gangrel let out another burst of laughter at Lucina's reaction. "Only kidding! I see we still need to work on that sense of humor of yours, hmm?"

A smile finally crossed Harena's face. "It's nice to have you two back again." She said, softly.

There was something about that smile that really managed to get to Lucina. Though, this was the first day they met, Lucina still felt some sort of sense of maternal pride. She wished the her of Harena's time had been around for the girl, but she could still try to do as her parents had been trying now. She'd get through to the girl, however long that would take, but she knew from her own experiences how much Harena needed this.


A/N:

And... this is how I imagine Gangrel reacting to meeting Harena for the first time. Much better than Lucina! XD
