Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha

Swingers, Part Deux

Xx~~*~~xX

Genya was a tough man.

He had seen many years of service, and participated in some tough combat operations; he'd even had a few rounds with the Bureau Department of Office Supply Procurement. And thus, he could take one accusing glare from a daughter.

Five, however...

"So, let me get this straight," Subaru said after clearing her throat, addressing the two adults sitting before her. "You didn't recognize her. At all. Her facial features and hair color didn't ring any alarm bells, whatsoever?"

Wendi continued to stare, unsure about how she felt about this latest development; it brought up too many questions she was scared to confront.

"Well, after a few Befriending Busters, my memory wasn't the best," Genya admitted sheepishly, naming the popular alcoholic beverage being served across Clanagan.

He winced as a crash sounded from outside, sighing at the loss of his hidden stash that Ginga was now destroying. She had already implemented a strict "no more alcohol for dad" policy, and had heavily implied she was considering a "short leash for dad" policy.

"Okay, so you didn't recognize her," Subaru allowed through grit teeth "But shouldn't a man of your age, with three wives already, at least TRY to control himself?"

"Now now," Lindy chided her adopted daughter. "We already decided we'd have an open relationship, and with the three of us expecting next month, it's only natural for a virile man like your father to enjoy the company of non-pregnant woman. Megane and Shamal are fine with this. You young people today are too uptight!"

Subaru stared at her. "But... he came home with her at three in the morning, singing loudly! And he was missing his tie while she was wearing his shirt! And... and..." She shivered, trying not to think of the implications, and failing.

Dieci scratched her head. "Well, I suppose I am fine with this. But are you sure it's alright for a member of the Bureau to have a relationship with someone who was just released from prison?"

"She's served her time and has sought rehabilitation, so shouldn't she deserve a second chance?" Lindy pointed out.

The scene finally pulled Nove out of her stupor, and drew her attention to a situation she could no longer ignore. "And do you have to do that?"

Cinque blinked, her head in her new momma's lap as her hair was stroked tenderly, wondering what the issue was. "Go Dad?"

Uno smiled brilliantly. "That's what I said last night, too."

Author's notes:

Never thought I'd continue one of my shorts, and I'm almost tempted to make this a series of drabbles, but we'll see. ;p I have a few ideas for some short jokes, but I also don't want to put anything else on my plate right now, heh.

And lest I forget the omake, that will probably raise more disturbing questions...

Bonus Ending:

A few days later...

"WHAT!" Subaru shrieked, having just managed to catch the fainting Ginga; she loved her sister, but the girl was going to need to develop a stronger constitution towards these things.

"It's only natural," Lindy said, nodding.

"I agree," Megane added, blushing lightly, patting her new co-wife's shoulder.

At this point, Dieci was tuning the whole situation out; she had learned that sometimes it was just important not to question things. Nove stared in absolute horror, though, the implications terrifying her so much that she couldn't ask, for fear of the answers. Even Cinque was beginning to feel just a tiny bit weirded out.

"Well, congratulations!" Shamal announced, retracting Klarer Wind after finishing her scans of Uno's belly. "It's going to be a boy!"
