A/N

I am so sorry for the long delay, but life just got in the way. And with life I mean school, I really had no idea that this was year was going to be this though… but I am managing. As a result I am not left with many days where I have time to write. And when I sometime do have time, I just couldn't find the motivation because I really needed that time to rest up. However that doesn't mean I don't have any time to write, I do have time but I don't have time to write it all in one go, or two for that matter. This chapter was stuck at around 80% for over a month….. I just couldn't find the time to finish it. I am not going to blame everything on school and time, because I have been a little bit lazy myself so I probably could have finished it a little faster, but like I said I really needed the time to rest up. I do hope you guys understand and respect my decision for putting school in front of the fanfic. So with that Here is a very delayed chapter 4.

"Can I have the cheese cake please?" A man in a brown suit asked. He was bald, thick and had a small brown moustache.

"Of course would you like something to drink with that." A female voice said. She had dark brown hair tied into a braided ponytail with bangs, and was wearing glasses. Her ponytail was tied with a red ribbon that held very high sentimental meaning to her. It was a gift from her sister right before she left for another world. She wore a brown sweater, which was now covered by a white apron, with a red skirt completing her outfit.

"Yes I would like some coffee as well." He said.

Miyuki finished writing down the order, and then she gave the man a nod and left for the counter. After a couple of seconds, a woman in the kitchen spotted her. The woman wore a white shirt and a long red skirt covered by her black apron. She had long light brown hair tide into a ponytail with a red ribbon. The ribbon used to belong to her daughter and was one of two ribbons that had been given away by Nanoha when she left earth. One was of course given to Miyuki herself, while the other was given to her mother, technically adopted mother but she never viewed Momoko as an aunt, to Miyuki, Momoko was her mother and that was the end of it.

"Could I get one cheese cake and a black coffee please?" Miyuki said, delivering the man's order.

Her mother took one look at the man her daughter had been talking to moments earlier. "To that guy, are you sure he didn't order more?" she answered in a teasing voice

Miyuki couldn't help but laugh at her mother`s joke. "Geez mom that was mean."

Momoko chuckled, as she took a quick trip to the kitchen and put the cake on a plate, while pouring the coffee into a white mug. Normally they would have had most of their speciality's ready on the counter, but today had been a busy day at the Midori-ya. It usually was during this time of the year, but today had been crazy. Luckily, this man was hopefully their last customer. Their family café was one of the more popular places in Uminari City especially in the summer. This day however was their last day of the summer for a couple of weeks, due to Nanohas return the family had decided to take a break for a short period. The café itself would not close, since over the years it had gotten so popular that they had plenty of workers to fill the roles in their absences.

Momoko placed the order on the desk in front of her daughter and gave her a short smile before she decided that this was enough for today. It was literally 5 costumers left, and 4 of them was leaving. Plus she had left her husband at home, who was in no condition to work, because of Nanohas arrival. So she needed to go home to check on him, that was the excuse she was giving herself anyway. "Miyuki dear, could you take it from here?" She asked

Miyuki took the order in her hands and gave her mother a nod. The woman had been working longer than any of them today. From the minute she had woken up her mother had made them breakfast, and gone to the café to work. So she understood her mother needed a break, besides there was only one customer left, all she had to do was to give the man the food and then just sit on her phone for a while. She had decided to go down and help her parents with the café a couple hours ago. There were once a time where she would do that almost every day after school, but after she had gotten into university, her parents had told her they did not want to hold her back, and wanted the girl to have a social life and get good grades. As a result, Miyuki had almost stopped working at the café, however she did help from time to time.

"Here you go sir, I hope you enjoy" She said with a smile on her face.

"Thank you very much. You are a very sweet girl you know that, and cute too, are you perhaps seeing someone."

Miyuki almost threw up in her mouth, how old could that man be? 50-60? She tried to say thanks while putting on a fake smile but failed miserably, the only thing she did manage to do was to put on a very forced smile.

"You would have been perfect for my son" He continued while taking a piece of his cake. "I can set you up if you are interested, here I can show you a picture" He was about to put his hand in his pocket to get his wallet, but Miyuki stopped him.

"Sorry sir but I am not really looking for a relationship at the moment, right now I am more focused on my studies" She said calmly, she felt a little bit insulted but right now she was just happy that he was not asking for himself.

"Oh sorry then, I didn't mean to bother you" He said while taking another piece of his cake

He opened his mouth again and said something that was about to put Miyuki over the edge. He took her hands in his, and looked her straight in the eye. "If you are worried about your future and money, having a rich husband would really help. Besides, if you are not interested in young and inexperienced men, I am very much open. "

The oldest daughter of the Takamachi family froze on the spot. How dared he? Who the hell did he think he was to say something like that. So many feelings was rushing through her at once, anger, insult, and disgust. Miyuki readied her hand for a slap, and was about to raise her hand to the air.

"Sir I think you need to leave" a cold manly voice said clearly annoyed by the scene in front of him.

Miyuki stopped her movement, and both of them turned around, just too stare right into the brown cold eyes of Kyoa Takamachi. He had messy/bed hair and was wearing a blue shirt and black pants. Miyuki was so happy to see her brother right now, because had he come a second later there was no telling what she would have done to the man. Her brother was often very calm during situation like these, and handled them much better than she did. Besides very few people could give a death glare like her brother did.

"And who are you?" The man asked in an annoyed voice

"Sir, I don't like the way you are talking to my sister. You have no business in her personal life, and I don't really trust your intentions. So would you please leave, right now." He said in a very calm voice. However, by looking at his face, and just by listening to what he said, it was easy to see that Kyoa was pissed off.

"What if I don't want to leave? I am paying for this cake, and this coffee so that gives me the right to stay!"

Kyoa looked at the man for a moment before he pulled out a 100 yen bill, he calmly walked up to the table and placed the bill right in front of the man, before he grabbed the plate with the cake and took the coffee.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!?" The man screamed.

"Well I have given you back your money and now I am taking back what you paid for. Was it to little? I think it was too much, so now will you please leave."

"WHO THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?"

"I don't think we care about that." A female voice said walking into the café. It belonged to Shinobu Tsukimura daughter to one of the richest man in Uminari City. Once upon a time she used to have long purple hair, but know she had her hair to a shoulder length high with side swept bangs. She wore a purple summer dress, which of course matched her hair.

"Besides we already know each other, Mister Fujimoto" Shinobu said with a warm smile

"Mi-mi-miss Tsukimura how unexpected to see you here, do you know these people?"

"One of them happen to be my fiancé, and the other is like a sister to me. While I would simply for you to stay and talk to you a little bit longer, but I believe you were about to leave right?"

"Ye-yes, I was just on my way out actually." The man was obviously not happy, but disrespecting Shinobu Tsukimura could not end well, besides he had already disrespected her fiancé and her soon to be sister-in law. In the end the man had to swallow his pride and go home, but if that low life excuse of a man thought he would take his 100 yen bill he had another thing coming.

He gathered his belongings and rushed out of the café, slamming the door on his way out.

After he had left, both Miyuki and Kyoa were full of questions. Shinobu just answered with "A friend of my father"

"A friend? He sounded afraid of you?" Miyuki said

Shinobu chuckled, in truth the man was scared but she wasn't going in detail about it. "It is a long story, but that is not something we should be concentrating about now."

"What do you mean, it is not like we got anything better to do" Kyoa said.

Shinbou blinked in confusion for a moment. "Have you guys forgotten why the café was closed early? Look at the clock, it is almost 6 pm?"

The two siblings looked at each other in confusion

"Jesus Christ! Nanoha should be arriving soon, or have you guys forgotten that your sister is coming back after 5 years!?"

"Of course not Shinobu, how could we forget that our sister is coming back?" Both answered

"Well shouldn't we start heading back, so we can be there when your sister arrives?"

"Miyuki placed a finger on her check "Wonder if she has changed? And who is this mystery person she is brining back." She said completely ignoring Shinbous question.

"Maybe a husband? Shinbou said

Both Kyoa and Miyuki looked at Shinbou with open eyes.

"What, it does make sense, I mean why else would she want to introduce him personally. And according to your mother she said it is not a boyfriend, or by that logic it could be a fiancé."

"I don't think Nanoha would have a wedding and not tell us, but a fiancé could be possible. Of course before he can marry Nanoha he would need my approval," Kyoa said jokingly.

"You might be joking, but I don't think Shiro-san will" Shinobu said.

And with they started laughing with the exception of Miyuki.

She was too busy trying to picture Nanoha with a guy or with any other person than Fate. It didn't make any sense to her. For as long as she could remember Nanoha always had a crush on Fate. Miyuki had been the only one Nanoha had opened up about these feelings. However, she never would have found out, had it not been for Miyuki finding her little sister crying in the bed one time. Worst part was that she was only 12, how could you possibly have so strong feelings at such a young age? After Nanoha came back from her 1-year training with the TSAB, she and Fate had been very close. Nanoha had even said to Miyuki that everything was ok now. She just always assumed that Nanoha and Fate had been secretly dating. So even though Shinbou came up with a good point, it did not make sense. Who was this person?

"I don't think it is a fiancé or a husband though"? Miyuki said not completely aware that she was saying it out loud

"So who do you think she is bringing then " Kyoa asked

Miyuki finally back in the world thought about it for a moment, but nothing made sense.

"I don't know, I guess we will just have to see when she gets here. So lets just be prepared for anything"

"Like a child" Shinonu said jokingly

This time all of them started laughing because if there was one thing they could agree on, then it was Nanoha could not have become a teenage mom…..

"ACHOO!"

"Nanoha you ok?" Fate said. The blond of course had her hair in a very low pony tail as usual. She was wearing a black shirt covered by her black coat and also had a pair of ripped jeans on, she also wore a couple of black sneakers. She really wanted to dress more formally, but both Nanoha and Hayate said that there was no need for overdressing.

"Yeah I am fine, it was just a sneeze no need to worry". The brunette answered. Nanoha as always wore her sideways ponytail. Her outfit consisted of a short denim vest and a long white summer dress, along with some black shoes.

"Are you sure mama?" A little girl said, while looking up into her mother's eyes. The little blond had her hair let down with the exception of two very small twin tails tied down with two blue ribbons. She was wearing a light blue summer dress with three white stripes in the middle, the dress wasn't that long and just barley passed her knees. She was wearing white socks and a couple of black shoes.

"I am sure Vivio, no need to worry ok." Nanoha said with a reassuring smile and a pat on the head.

In truth, she wasn't really ok, but it was not because of some illness. It was because she was extremely nervous of her parent's reaction. It would have been so much easier to just fake sick, and run. However she knew this was something that had to be done."

"Nanoha, are you sure you are ok?" Fate asked concerned

"Fate-chan I told you, it was just a sneeze nothing to be worried about." The brunette answered.

"I didn't mean the sneeze, I meant are you really ok?" She said as she wrapped her hands around her girlfriend. Nanoha closed her eyes while resting her head on Fates shoulder, and for a moment everything was almost forgotten. She felt safe, and very lucky. Lucky because she had someone like Fate who could on many occasions read her like an open book. After a couple of seconds Fate released her grip around the brunette, and the two met eye to eye.

"A little nervous, but I think I will manage." Nanoha ended up giving the blond a quick peck on the lips.

"Mama?" Vivio asked concerned

"It`s ok, Nanoha mama was just a little scared, but Fate-mama made everything better."

Vivio gave them a small nod, before she gave Nanoha a quick hug.

"Vivio wants to help too." she said in a very low voice, however it did not go unheard.

Nanoha bent down and hugged back. Moments like these gave her strength to go on no matter what, and she was reminded on how lucky she was. To have both Fate and Vivio in her life. "You are Vivio, more than you know." She let her daughter go and stood up.

"We are almost there, I think we should be there in a minute or two." Nanoha said.

This caught Vivio attention, and she was becoming nervous. Would her mamas family like her? Would she like them? She was also very excited. Soon she would get to see where her Nanoha-mama had grown up, and they would show her lots of pictures, which was something that both her mamas had promised. Every step they were taking made her more and more excited, she couldn't wait.

A grey wall surrounded the Takamachi household with an entrance located in the middle of the south area at the wall. The exterior resembled that of a traditional Japanese house with an L-shape. At the end of the "L" was where the dojo was located, while on the other side of the house laid the garden. The Takamachi household's interior was similar to that of a traditional western house. You had the gate, the main hall that had a staircase which lead up to the second floor, where all the bedrooms was located. The second floor was more or less only bedrooms including 2 bathrooms. The first floor consisted of the living room, kitchen and two guest rooms.

Right now, the Takamachi family was waiting for their youngest member of the family, at least to their knowledge. Shiro Takamachi was pacing back and forth in front of the stairs where the whole family had seated itself. He was wearing jeans and a white t-shirt, he had weavy mid part dark brown hair. He normally was a very patient man, and as a retired bodyguard that was to be excepted. However today all the patience he had was thrown out of the window. His youngest daughter was coming home, after 5 years. He had only been this excited once in his lifetime. Which was when the exact same daughter had left for a year's training when she was 12. The day of her arrival, he had been so excited that his wife had kicked him out of his own café because he was in no condition to work (she had done the exact same thing today). He remembered how his daughter had changed after that year, she had let her hair grow out and stopped tying her hair into two twin tails. She had matured quite a lot during that year, and it was during that period Shiro had to realize that his daughter was growing up.

"They are late, shouldn't they have been here by now?" He said impatiently

Momoko couldn't help but to smile, her husband was usually very calm and patient. Today however… he was the complete opposite. "Nanoha said 6 p.m in the text she sent us. She is probably just running a little late. I mean she is just a minute late after all so there is nothing to worry about. Besides there is nothing we can do but to wait anyway"

Shiro sighed he really wanted to see his daughter right now, but Momoko was right. There was nothing he could do. He closed his eyes and hoped that he didn't have to wait long.

Meanwhile on the outside a certain brunette was staring on the entrance to her childhood home. Nanoha suddenly felt helpless and was starting to regret her decision, however this was something that had to be done. She looked over at her girlfriend who was standing right beside her, then looked back at her daughter who had found a hiding spot behind her mothers. Nanoha wanted to say something to calm them down but she wasn't able to form a word. She took one deep breath before she slowly moved her fingers on the doorbell, before slowly pushing it down.

She didn't feel ready at all, and she just wanted to run away, however she also wanted to come clean to her family. They deserved to know about them and about their granddaughter. Then the door finally started opening. The next seconds was in complete slow-motion for Nanoha, she could feel her heart beating, and her pulls rising. Why was she so scared? She had been through many life-death situation, but none of that for some reason compared to what she was feeling now. Of course, it did not come close to the time she thought she would lose Vivio, or that time where she thought she would never be able to see Fate again, but this moment served as a good number three. As the door was opening she was eventually able to see her mother's face come into view.

"Nanoha?" Momoko said opening the door.

"Hi…. Oka-san." Nanoha said very weakly while looking down at the floor.

"NANOHA!" Her parents screamed as they ran to give their daughter a hug

Nanoha was taken by surprise and was nearly tackled to the ground (and nearly over Vivio). She had forgotten how good it felt to be embraced by her parents, she tried fighting back her emotions but it was to no use. She had tears running down her checks as she embraced her parents for the first time in five years. She wasn't the only one showing her emotions both Shiro and Momoko was crying tears of joy as well. Neither of them said a word, they just stood there and enjoyed the moment.

Momoko finally let go of her daughter and so did Shiro after a couple of seconds. They both wiped away the tears in their eyes. However, Momoko wasn't finished and without warning she embraced Fate. While she might not have been her daughter the girl had a very special place in her heart. For being Nanohas friend and always being there for her. It brought a mother joy to see her child have someone like that in her life. Fate had always been fond of Momoko but this was a huge surprise to her.

After finishing her emotional outbreak, Momoko finally calmed down. "Please come inn, we can`t have you two standing out there the whole time. That is when Momoko realized something was wrong. Nanoha had clearly stated that there would be three of them. However, she could only see two. However, she wasn't the only one to notice that little detail.

While everyone else had noticed the lack of a third member, Shiro was the first one to question it. "Ehm Nanoha? Didn't you say that there was three of you?"

Nanoha, froze on the spot, this was it. One of the two secrets she had kept from her parents, one of the two reason why coming here was a horrifying experience. She looked over at Fate who was looking at her. They both took a deep breath before the blond spoke up.

"There is." She took another deep breath before continuing. "Vivio it is time to introduce yourself".

The Takamachi family was shocked when they saw a little blond girl with mismatching eyes step in front of the two girls.

"Fate is that your little sister?" Miyuki asked. They really didn't look alike, but since both had blond hair she just had to ask. Nanoha who had been silent for a long time finally decided to speak up. "Well actually, she is not Fates sister. Come on Vivio introduce yourself it is ok." She said in a calm voice.

Vivio took one step forward before bowing down in front of Shiro and Momoko and introduced herself. "I am Vivio Takamachi, nice to meet you"

"TAKAMACHI!?" Shiro screamed in surprise

Nanoha then knelt down on one knee and grabbed Vivios shoulders, before looking her parents straight in the eyes. So many thoughts was running through her head, but she knew it was now or never, she took one final deep breath before saying the words she had been avoiding for over a year.

"Mom.. Dad.. this is Vivio, and she is your… Granddaughter"

"OUR WHAT!" Shiro and Momoko screamed while her siblings was in shock over what had just happened.

A/N

Hope you guys liked it, and I am sorry for the cliff hanger.

Now you might have noticed that I mentioned Nanoha going off for training a year when she was 12. That was my attempt to fix my mistake from chapter 1. I will not be making a flashback chapter, because whenever I am finished with this story, I am planning to do another Nanoha fanfic. However that story will be just a series of short stories of Nanoha and the crew living their life. It might be stories from when she lives on earth or after moving to Midchilda. My point is that I want to have that story there. Obviously I cannot go a year before clarifying how I "fixed my mistake" So here is what happened. Nanoha and Fate are invited by the TSAB for a years training and education in Mid-Childa. Hope that was a good enough explination.

I also tried to alter the characters look a little bit by changing their hairstyles, mainly because I was not able to describe them…. But also to add a little of my own touch to these characters.

Once again I apologize for the delay, and while I do want to say the next chapter is coming sooner, I really can`t. I am very sorry but school is just very much at the moment, and it doesn't look like it is going to get easier anytime soon. I can give you an example, I was planning to write during Christmas brake however as it turns out I have to study math….. We start on school on a Tuesday, and have mid-terms on Wednesday….. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO RUIN CHRISTNAS! We do have free on this upcoming Wednesday so I might be getting something done then (MIGHT) Remember this chapter was stuck around 80% got over a month.

I would really appreciate if you review this chapter because I do feel as if this was my worst chapter until now, mainly because I wasn't able to focus a 100% on it.

I just want to say that I am very grateful for everyone who was either followed, favoured or reviewed the story it really warms my heart. I really hope you guys will be able to endure the inconsistent updates coming ahead of us however I do have many things planned for the story, I just need time to write it down.

So with that I hope you have a good morning, day, night whatever. SuperDufus out

BTW if someone is wondering about my health, then I just want to say that I am making a full recovery! I am still not allowed to do sports for a while, but I am getting there.
