A.N.- Well school sucks………..but that's really not new at all……..It took me kind of a while to make this chapter and you could fully blame the school and teachers for that. )

Disclaimer- oh yeah, I forgot about this one at the 1st chapter…….I do not own Nana and remember it until forever!!

Recap:

I would love to raise Satsuki with you, Hachi… I still love you. This was the words he kept close to his heart and kept thinking it over and over again.

Now that's done…………I'll begin!!!!

"Hey, get off my bed," Nana said smiling down at Hachi.

Hachi groaned and realized that she just heard Nana's voice.

"Nana!" Hachi said quickly sitting up. She looked at Nana and couldn't believe that she was actually there.

"Nana!" Hachi said once again flung her arms around Nana. Nana smiled and missed her also and she hugged her back.

Hachi let go and smiled at her, but then she remembered Satsuki. Her smile faded away and she started to panic trying to remember what happened last night.

"Satsuki!" Hachi said going out of Nana's room. She found Nobu helping Satsuki eat and Shin also eating.

"Hachi!" Shin said smiling at her.

"Satuski, are you okay?" Hachi asked her.

Satsuki smiled at her and just nodded.

"Arigato go sai mas," Hachi said to Nobu and Nobu just smiled at her.

Shin smiled at Hachi and Nobu and just continued eating.

"And what are you doing here?" Hachi asked Shin.

"But, Mother!" Shin whined. "Nobu called us because he panicked once he woke up."

Hachi looked at Nobu and was touched.

Nobu looked away as he knew that he was blushing.

"Hey, Shin, help me buy foods for lunch," Nana commanded.

Shin wanted to stay but when he saw how Nana was smiling, he knew he needed to go with her. "Okay!"

Hachi tried to argue but she was too tired and wanted to be with her daughter.

"Mama, are you mad at me?" Satsuki asked once they left.

Hachi's eyes became teary and hugged her. "No, Satsuki, I'm not, I'm mad at your father, but not you."

Satsuki smiled and said; "I want Nobu to be my father."

Hachi's heart just felt like it just got crushed.

Nobu was shocked that he almost choked on what he was eating.

"Did I say something wrong?" Satsuki asked looking at her mother and at Nobu.

I can't shout at her, she doesn't know what happened at the past.

"Uh, what do you want to do for today?" Hachi asked.

"Um, I wanna go to the park with Mama and Nobu," Satsuki shouted brightly.

"Uh, why don't we do that after we eat with Nana and Shin and go with them?" Hachi suggested.

"Why? You don't like hanging out with me anymore?" Nobu teased Hachi.

Hachi's face became red and she cleared her throat.

"I'm just teasing you," Nobu said even though he was fully serious about it.

"So let's go!" Satsuki said.

"Temo," Hachi said quietly. "Well, if this is what you want, then I'll grant it."

0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x

Satsuki was holding Nobu and Hachi's hand while they were walking on the park.

No one actually spoke and they just kept on walking.

Hachi and Nobu tried so hard to say something.

"I want an ice cream!" Satsuki shouted.

"Uh, okay, I'll buy you one," Hachi said.

"Uh, no, its okay, I'll buy it for her," Nobu said.

"Why, you think I'm poor?" Hachi asked.

Nobu looked shock and looked at Hachi.

"I had to get back at you," Hachi said smiling at him.

"Nobu!!!" Asami shouted. She looked so mad and was looking at Hachi and Satsuki.

Nobu took his hand back from Satsuki.

Satsuki looked at Asami and was afraid of her. She hid herself from Hachi.

"It's all right, I'm right here," Hachi whispered to her.

"Asami?" Nobu asked. "What are you doing here?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that!?" Asami shouted.

"You remember Hachi," Nobu said introducing Hachi.

"This is Satsuki, her daughter," Nobu said. Satsuki looked away.

"She's kind of shy," Hachi said.

"No I'm not, I just don't like the woman, and she looks scary!" Satsuki shouted.

"Satsuki," Hachi growled at her.

"Listen here, you had your chance with Nobu, don't mess mine!" Asami said.

She accidentally slapped Hachi.

"Don't touch my mother!" Satsuki said biting Asami's arm.

"Get off little brat!" Asami shouted trying to get her off.

Satsuki fell on the ground.

"Satsuki!" Hachi said helping her get up.

Asami didn't mean to hurt her and wanted to say sorry, but was too mad.

"Asami, that's enough!" Nobu said.

"Nobu," Asami said. She forced herself to cry so he would take pity on her.

"That's enough," Nobu said. "You had your chance, you blew it."

"Come on, Satsuki, let's buy your ice cream," Nobu said taking Satsuki's hand.

"Temo," Asami said.

"Is it okay?" Hachi asked.

Nobu looked at her and smiled. "Don't worry about it. Right now, I want your and Satsuki's happiness."

"So, what kind of ice cream do you want?" Nobu asked Satsuki.

"Triple caramel!" Satsuki said joyfully.

Hachi smiled at her.

"Okay!" Nobu said buying her ice cream.

"What about you Hachi?" Nobu asked.

"No its okay," Hachi said.

"Too late," Nobu said buying two ice creams.

Nobu gave one too Hachi and one to Satsuki.

Hachi smiled at him and wished that she had a second chance with him.

"Mother!!!" Shin shouted hugging Hachi.

"Shin," Hachi said.

"We saw you guys on our way to the apartment," Nana said.

"We bought it, now you have to cook it," Nana said.

"Do you need help?" Nobu asked while Hachi was cutting some tomatoes.

"No, its alright," Hachi said but she accidentally cut herself in one of her finger.

Hachi cringed and let go of the knife.

"Hachi," Nobu said taking her hand.

Nobu sucked her hand to suck her blood and then he got a bandage and placed it.

"Arigato," Hachi said. She knew she was blushing, but she just couldn't look away/

"We'll visit again," Nana said.

Hachi smiled at her and nodded.

"Goodbye, mother!" Shin said. "Goodbye sister!"

"Goodbye brother!" Satsuki said waving her hand in the air.

Hachi closed the door and looked at the place and it was messed up.

"Don't worry, I'll clean it up, you take a bath with Satsuki," Nobu said smiling at her.

Hachi's eyes became teary.

"Dai jo bu?" Nobu asked.

"Yeah, I'm just thankful that you're here," Hachi said.

Hachi buried her face in Nobu's chest.

"Is mama alright?" Satsuki asked, frowning.

Nobu nodded and grinned at her.

"Gomen, gomen, I just got carried away," Hachi said unburying her face.

"Come Satsuki, let's take a bath," Hachi said sniffing.

Nobu smiled at her. For you, I'll do anything.

Nobu went to the bathroom and thought that they were done. "Gomen, Gomen, I didn't know that you guys are still here."

He looked down trying so hard not to look at Hachi.

"Join with us!" Satsuki said splashing some water.

Nobu just chuckled nervously. "That's okay, I'll go after you guys."

Nobu went away and closed the bathroom door.

He sighed and wondered how Asami was. I am still worried about her.

"We're done!" Satsuki said a little while.

Nobu was sitting at the dinner table.

"I'll go get your bath ready," Hachi said smiling.

"Alright, I'll go play with Satsuki," Nobu said.

"Is it okay if I stay here for the night?" Nobu asked.

Hachi nodded and gave him another towel to dry his hair.

"Nobu, sleep with us!" Satsuki said.

Nobu smiled at Hachi and then at Satsuki.

And so they laid at Nana's bed because it was wider.

Satsuki was in the middle and Nobu and Hachi felt awkward as ever.

"Mama, do you love Nobu?" Satsuki asked once she was half-asleep.

Hachi looked at her and looked at Nobu.

"Of course I do," Hachi said.

"Nobu-chan, do you love Mama," Satsuki asked.

"Of course," Nobu said grinning at Hachi.

"Then why don't you guys get married?" Satsuki asked.

Nobu and Hachi looked at each other and then looked away.

"Goodnight Satsuki," Hachi just said kissing her daughter in the forehead.

"Goodnight Satsuki," Nobu said.

"Goodnight Papa," Satsuki said.

Nobu and Hachi just felt as if they just want to tell each other how they like, but they just closed their eyes.

I know I could only show my love for him in my dreams.

Will Nobu and Hachi tell how each other how they feel? What will Takumi do when he finds out that Nobu is hanging out with his daughter and Hachi? Will Asami ruin Hachi's life? Find out!
