Science Plus Magic Equals Children!
Ch.2 2+2=4
Fate groaned as she sat up on her bed.
'Huh? Wasn't I in the kitchen?'
The blonde mage looked around her room to find no one except herself. Had it all been a horrible dream? With a sigh of relief she hopped off her bed and decided to get a drink of water. That dream, no, nightmare nearly gave her a heart attack. Her? A parent? And of Hayate and Nanoha's children? She scoffed at the idea. Although she didn't mind so much if it was Nanoha...
She shook her head. As of late, she'd been having more and more strange thoughts about her friend.
One day she'd come to notice that Nanoha was…different. She wasn't sure what it was. There was just something about the brunette that had her wondering when she became so…breathtaking.
"Fate-papa! You're awake!"
Fate froze up.
'N-No way! It had to have been a dream!'
She soon found herself tackled to the floor by two girls. Each of them looked so happy that she couldn't help but reassure them with a smile.
"Come on girls, give Fate a chance to breathe." Hayate said from the living room.
The two girls reluctantly let go of Fate and allowed the blonde to stand. Instead they each grabbed one of her hands and lead her to the living room where Nanoha was waiting for them.
"Fate-chan! Are you feeling better?"
Nanoha quickly stood up and was making her way towards her blonde beauty when she suddenly found herself tripping over her feet and landing on the unsuspecting blonde. The two girls groaned from their positions on the ground. It was then that Nanoha realized the position they were in. Legs tangled together, her breasts pressed up against Fate's face. She had to bite back a moan when Fate unconsciously nuzzled against her bosom.
"Hey! That's cheating! You tripped your mama on purpose!"
"So? My mama obviously loves papa more than yours does. I think this proves it!" The blonde haired girl said as she pointed to the two teenagers who had yet to move from their provocative positions.
"No way! My mama will not lose!" the light brown haired girl declared.
At hearing those words, Nanoha sat up and glared at the other brunette girl. Daring her to even try to make a move. Hayate could feel the sweat trickling down her face. She was once again put in a very tough spot.
"N-Nanoha, you know I'd never…"
"You mean you don't want me to be born mama? You'd rather I fade away?"
Hayate stared at those sad blue eyes and found herself unable to finish her sentence. This of course made Nanoha even more aggravated. Fate gathered enough of her wits and defused the situation as best she could. She kept Nanoha from attempting to kill Hayate and instead proposed they all talk it out. Nanoha of course had preferred that she just Starlight Breaker the problem (aka Hayate) but Fate had made a very good point.
She'd never forgive herself if she killed one of her best friends out of jealousy. Not that Fate was aware of the last part.
So at the table Fate sat on one side by herself while Nanoha and their supposed daughter sat to her right and Hayate and the other daughter sat to her left.
"Okay, I think we should start with you girls introducing yourselves since you already seem to know who we are." Fate began.
The two girls nodded. The light brown haired girl stood up and bowed first.
"My name is Corona Yagami Harlaown. I'm ten years old and my parents are Fate-papa and Hayate-mama." She ended her introduction with a smile.
Hayate wasn't sure how to feel about this situation she was suddenly thrust into. On one hand, this was just the type of drastic thing that was needed in order for Nanoha to finally confess to Fate. On the other, she was suddenly a parent. It was definitely a foreign feeling but it wasn't completely unwelcomed. That alone caused her to worry. She knew she didn't have those types of feeling towards Fate, but then how did she explain her daughter?
'Oh god, I've even accepted she was mine!'
Her mental anguish only increased when she looked towards Nanoha. May whatever god out there have mercy on her soul. Surviving this ordeal was going to be a challenge.
Nanoha could feel a twitch in her eyebrow at the mention of Hayate being the mother. She, however, held back any animosity she felt towards the girl. Even if she was ruining the future she had envisioned with her blonde haired goddess. Her salvation came when the girl sitting next to her stood up and introduced herself.
"Hello, my name is Vivio Takamachi-Harlaown. I'm also ten years old and my parents are Fate-papa and Nanoha-mama."
Nanoha once again felt an incredibly warm feeling spread through her body when she heard that she and Fate were parents to this child. Their future still had a chance!
Fate on the other hand was having an incredibly hard time wrapping her head around everything. It was all so impossible!
"B-But how can that be! We're all girls! Two girls can't possibly make a baby! That's not how it works!"
'Stop ruining my dream Fate-chan!' Nanoha screamed bitterly in her mind. Didn't Fate-chan realize she was breaking her heart?
"It's not impossible in our time." Corona spoke up.
"That's right. Thanks to the power of science and magic, two women are now able to make a baby. Isn't that great!" Vivo exclaimed.
'It's very wonderful!' Nanoha was doing a little dance in her head. It was tempting to jump Fate then and there. Might was well practice making their daughter right?
"I'm still not convinced. I want a paternity test."
Fate cringed when the two girls gave her the most heart broken looks imaginable. Wait, was Nanoha giving her the same look? She shook her head. Maybe she said it too harshly. It's not like she was trying to deny she was their "father".
'Actually that is exactly what I'm doing. I feel like such a horrible person.'
She was surprised when Hayate spoke up in her defense.
"Now, now girls. You can't blame Fate for trying to make absolutely sure. After all, we're only teenager right now and suddenly having full grown children is not something we're mentally prepared for. I especially think Fate-chan wasn't expecting to have children by two different mothers."
Fate flinched at the last sentence. Just what kind of adult had she grown up to be?
"So, I suggest we go to my place and have Shamal do the tests. Sound like a good plan?"
Nanoha nodded. She grabbed Vivio's hand and smiled gently at her. "I agree. The sooner we clear this up the better right?"
'I want proof that Vivio is mine and Fate's.' She looked over and Corona who was being comforted by Hayate. 'But what if she is telling the truth too? Can I really blame the child?'
She looked over at Fate who was rubbing her temple. She looked exhausted.
"Fate-chan?"
"Yeah?"
"If these are truly your children you're going to have to take responsibility. Understand?"
Nanoha gave her a smile that said "obey or suffer the consequences".
"Y-Yes."
"Good, we should get going then before it gets too late."
The trip to Hayate's was awkward to say the least. The girls had insisted they hold their Fate-papa's hand. So Fate found herself in the middle of both girls the entire way. The girls would also throw in reasons why Fate should choose their respective mothers to marry. By the time they got to the Yagami's, Nanoha, Fate and Hayate resembled stop signs. Fate was sure she'd never be able to look at Hayate's cosplaying or Nanoha and chocolate without blushing like a tomato.
Hayate opened the door for them and they all set to removing their shoes.
"I'm home! Fate and Nanoha came over too!" Hayate called out.
"Commandment Chain!"
Before any of them could react, Fate found herself bound by Shamal's device. Hayate and Nanoha's first instinct was to protect the two kids. It was only after Fate broke the binds that they finally noticed the assailant.
"S-Shamal! What was that!" Fate exclaimed. She was now in her barrier jacket and ready to defend herself.
Shamal chuckled darkly at the blonde.
"I never thought you'd be the one to try to steal her away from me."
"What are you talking about?"
"Fate-papa!"
Hearing that dreaded title once again, Fate wished the ground would swallow her whole. Everyone could only look on in stunned silence as a pink haired girl latched herself to the blonde beauty.
"Fate-chan?" Nanoha said in a deadly voice.
"Y-Yes?"
"Just how many girls do you plan to impregnate?"
"I-I wouldn't…I mean…I-I…"
It was then that Shamal noticed the other two girls that were accompanying them.
"Who are they Hayate-chan?"
"Fate's other children."
Shamal suddenly bound Fate once more after Hayate said those words. Hayate acknowledge that was probably not the right thing to say at the moment. The situation was quickly degenerating for Fate. She grabbed the pink haired girl away from Fate as Nanoha activated her barrier jacket.
"W-Wait! N-Nanoha! S-Shamal! Let me explain!"
"Fate-chan you idiot! Starlight Breaker!"
Fate's screams of agony rang through the night. It really was not a good idea to make Nanoha mad. Ever. The pink haired girl looked worriedly as Fate became nothing but a tiny speck in the evening sky.
"Mama, will Fate-papa be alright?"
The others looked to see Signum had entered the hallway. She tried to look calm and collected but looking at the pink haired girl caused her mask to crack.
"I-I'm sure she's fine…"
"You're the mother?" Nanoha ground out.
Signum contemplated the morality of using a child as a human shield. Nanoha was already aggravated and no doubt would unleash a slew of Starlight Breakers at the drop of a hat.
"Nanoha-mama! You shouldn't have hurt Fate-papa like that! It's not her fault she's so irresistible."
Hayate wanted to laugh at what the little girl said. She really did, but like everyone else in the room, she was afraid of making even the slightest of movements for fear of ending up like Fate.
"That's right!." Corona spoke up. "We should talk it out! Fate-papa always says we should talk out our problems!"
"Take a chill pill Nanoha." Vita appeared from the other room. "We may as well figure out what's going on before issuing out Starlight Breakers to everyone."
"Please mama?" Vivio gave her the dreaded puppy dog eyes.
Nanoha took a deep breath and deactivated her barrier jacket.
"Alright."
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Angering the White Devil was no laughing matter.
"Oh I should introduce myself." The pink haired girl bowed towards them. "My name is Caro T. Harlaown. I'm twelve years old and as you've heard, my parents are Fate-papa and Signum-mama."
Signum felt like crawling under a rock with the way Shamal was glaring at her. Try as she might, she couldn't get Shamal to listen to her. She never had any feeling towards Fate that went beyond friendship and respect. Then again, her arguments were almost null and void with Caro claiming she was their child. It was going to be a long night for the pink haired sword user.
Meanwhile, Fate was fishing herself out of a canal. There was no way she could walk back to Hayate's house. Flying was out of the question as well. She was too low on magic for that. So with whatever strength she had left, she sonic moved back to the Yagami's. Hopefully, Nanoha would refrain from Starlight Breaking he again, at least until everything was figured out.
'What did I do to deserve this?'
Back at the Yagami's, everyone was, for the most part, attempting to have tea while they waited for Fate to return. The three girls were all talking about how wonderful their Fate-papa was and trying to discourage each other from attempting to hook up their mothers with Fate.
"Fate-papa belongs with Nanoha-mama!"
Everyone pretty much agreed with that statement, but chose not to say anything.
"No way! Hayate-mama makes a much better match for Fate-papa!"
Hayate wished she could deny that statement but that meant rejecting her child. She never thought she had much of a maternal instinct but it was that very thing that was keeping her from objecting to her daughter's statement. She opted to sit quietly and pray that Nanoha would not blow up again.
"Please! Signum-mama and Fate-papa are the best possible match. They even have similar interests!"
Signum sweat bullets as Shamal and Nanoha both glared at her. It was true that Fate and herself had bonded during the time she'd trained the blonde but it was always a student-teacher type of relationship! She already belonged to Shamal and would never betray her like that. Yet she could do nothing but sit and listen to her…daughter try to justify her relationship with Fate.
Hayate and Signum desperately wished for something to stop the ever-mounting tension.
Their prayers were answered when Hayate's phone rang.
"I'll get that!"
She practically ran to the phone with tears of relief in her eyes.
"Hello, Hayate speaking!"
"Hayate-chan! It's Suzuka."
"Oh, Suzuka-chan! What can I do for you?"
"Ano…is Fate-chan there? I've been trying to call her but she's not picking up her phone."
Hayate felt a sinking sensation in the pit of her stomach.
'Oh god…not her too!'
"Well, she's…coming back soon."
"Oh, then please tell her…"
She was cut off and a scuffle was heard.
"HAYATE!"
The brunette mage knew that voice. Things were about to get ugly again.
"WHEN I GET THERE, FATE'LL REGRET EVER LAYING HER EYES ON SUZUKA!"
She was given no chance to respond before Arisa hung up on her. Hayate stared at the phone for a good minute before rushing back to the living room.
"Who was on the phone Hayate-chan?" Vita asked.
"Suzuka-chan. Guys, they're coming over. Seem like Fate's got one more child to answer for."
The temperature in the room dropped drastically. The tea cup in Nanoha's hand broke in her grip.
"Quick, protect the children!" Hayate exclaimed.
Shamal quickly pulled Vivio away from her increasingly dangerous mother and sat her near Signum and Hayate.
Fate had just arrived when she felt a cold chill run down her spine. All her instincts were yelling for her to turn around and run. As far away and as fast as possible. She gulped and shakily reached for the door.
"FATE!"
She didn't get a chance to react as an angry Arisa punched her in the face. The last thing she saw was a girl with long lavender hair getting out of a limo with Suzuka.
'Hahaha, not another one.'
Those were her final thoughts before she blacked out. Nanoha was going to be so pissed.
AN: There you have it. Chapter 2 was done in record time. Gotta admit that those reviews were truly motivating to get this done as soon as possible. Thank you kind readers. So who is the mysterious fourth child of our ever lovable Fate? You'll see. She is the last one though. So to recap there are four girls attempting to hook up their mothers with Fate.
Corona Yagami-Harlaown- age 10
Daughter of Fate T. Harlaown and Hayate Yagami. This will just be fun because Nanoha will be trying to kill Hayate when she really has no interest in Fate. She just likes to mess with the White Devil, which is incredibly dangerous to her health.
Vivio Takamachi-Harlaown- age 10
Daughter of Fate and Nanoha Takamachi. This is the ending that everyone wants and who could blame you? FateNano is love and everyone wants to see Fate and Nanoha happy.
Mystery child number 4- age 13
Daughter of Fate and Suzuka Tsukimura. Did this one cause I thought it'd be funny to see Arisa get jealous. She'll be causing more than a few bruises for our blonde heroine.
Caro T. Harlaown- age 13
Daughter of Fate and Signum. Yes, Shamal was not pleased with this one at all. Plus I thought writing an extremely jealous Shamal would be a blast.
Well, until next time everyone!
