Chapter 7

Meet the Parents (Part 2)

Back at Windbloom, Shizuru was standing outside of the Viola mansion with Natsumi was holding her hand. She was being awestruck at the size of the house though she was still very nervous and Shizuru was also worried too on how to bring the topic up without upsetting Natsumi. Suddenly, her mind drifted off as she thought about Natsuki.

I wonder how she's…alright… I hope things will turn out fine…

Shizuru looked down at Natsumi and noticed she was clutching her hand a bit tight and her body was mostly behind Shizuru. She smiled at her daughter's shyness as it reminds her of a certain someone.

"Don't worry Nat-chan, they won't hurt you. They are nice people and they're my parents so that will make them your grandparents." Shizuru beamed at her.

Natsumi tilted her head up to look at Shizuru and she had a confused look on her face.

"Grandparents?" Natsumi wondered.

"Yes you have four of them since your mommy also have parents and a sister too so you will also have an auntie too." Shizuru said.

"Oh reaaally? I hope they will like me." Natsumi said in a worried voice.

"Don't worry, I'm sure they will love as much as I love you. They will also think that my little Nat-Chan is so cute and adorable." With that said, Natsumi blushed easily whenever her mother keeps on saying that.

Shizuru then turned at the door and knocked loudly but elegantly to keep her graceful stance but really, she is also nervous of what would happen. The door was opened by one of the butler's who served in the house for years and watched Shizuru grew up into an otome. All the maids and butlers were treated like family in the Viola mansion.

"Miss Viola welcome back and I see that you brought a little guest too." An elderly man with grey sides and bold on top smiled sweetly at the two. He was wearing a black butler's suit with violet waist coat. As he led them both in, Natsumi couldn't stop staring at the huge stairwell and how everywhere are all light colours such as lilac, green and white. However, it was still visible that it is still a traditional household.

"Ara hello Edgar! It's nice to see you. It's been a while since I've been back. Also I like you to meet Natsumi." Shizuru introduced her little companion.

Edgar bent down and stared at the girl. He noticed something familiar about the girl especially the eye colors as they remind him about Miss Viola's eyes. He also noticed the girl was very cute so he smiled at her and said hello to her in which return she also smiled but still standing behind Shizuru.

"Ara Edgar, do you know where my parents are?" Shizuru asked

"I believe they are in the garden having tea. Shall I escort you there, Miss Viola?" Edgar asked.

"Ara, thank you Edgar. Also would you mind if you could look after Natsumi for me whilst I go and speak to them. I would like to talk to them first before introducing them to Natsumi." Shizuru said.

"Of course Miss. My pleasure!" Edgar then led both Shizuru and Natsumi to the doors towards the garden. Shizuru turned around and bent down to face her daughter.

"Nat-Chan, would you mind if you wait here for a bit with Edgar whilst I speak to them for a bit?" Shizuru asked.

Natsumi shook her head and Shizuru smiled and kissed her forehead then she looked up at Edgar.

" Don't worry miss I will look after her. she is a good girl" He reassures her.

"Ookini Edgar." Shizuru then got up and headed into the garden, which contains lots of different types of beautiful flowers. There were also ponds with fishes in even a little waterfall. Shizuru used to love the garden coming out here and drink her tea whilst reading a book. She continued waking along and saw her parents in front.

Sitting by a small table with a tea set in front of them along with biscuits, there sat was a woman with light brown hair and blue eyes which makes it very noticeable that she is Shizuru's mother because she got the same face as her. She is called Shizuma Viola. She is a novelist selling romance stories to young teenagers. As for her father, Shiro Viola alongside with Alexander Kruger, are both counts of their own territory except Shiro is in Wind Bloom so he also works for Queen Mashiro. He has the same hair color as Shizuru's hair combed back and also has a beard with his piercing red eyes staring at the newspaper. They noticed Shizuru walking towards them and smiled and got up to see her.

"Ara I didn't know my cute Shizu was coming to visit us." Her mother said in an excited voice and came over to hug her daughter. She has the same smile as Shizuru one would assume they are twins except that the other is older and Shizuma's hair is in a low ponytail but it hanging on the shoulder.

"Kannin na mother. I'll try to call you next time but it just that there were a lot of things I needed to discuss with you. Also, I wanted you to meet someone too." Shizuru said.

"Okay then why don't we sit down and have tea whilst our angel tells us what's this about." Shiro smiled affectionately.

After they went over to the table, Shizuru told her parents everything about the mission and also the fact that she now has a daughter. Although her parents were at first shocked about this but they quickly got over it and were excited about the fact that they have a granddaughter and is also pleased that the other parent was Natsuki. They really like the girl who made their daughter happy. Natsuki also made their daughter show her real smile. They always loved teasing the girl too whenever Natsuki used to visit them. She would always leave their home blushing, they were also shocked and sad when Natsuki and Shizuru broke up too but they were still hoping that they could get back together. Maybe with Natsumi with them, it could bring them together but Shizuma worried though that this could also push Natsuki further away from Shizuru. The chances are 50/50. She just hope that it doesn't go the wrong way otherwise it will not only hurt Natsuki and Shizuru, it will also hurt Natsumi.

Shizuru called for Edgar and asked if he could bring Natsumi over to them. Shizuru then got up and waited patiently along with her parents who stood up too. Then they saw Edgar holding a little girl hand. They were slowly approaching them but it was visible that the girl is really nervous. Shizuru smiled at her and headed towards her and took her hand. She gave Natsumi's hand a small squeeze and then proceeded to her parents who were smiling like crazy at seeing such a cute girl. Also, they're so excited to meet their granddaughter. As soon as Shizuru was nearer, she stopped and Natsumi let go of her hand and hid behind Shizuru legs but popped her head a bit to see Shizuru's parents.

"Nat-chan it's okay. These are your grandparents. Your grandpa Shiro and grandma Shizuma" Shizuru said. Natsumi then look up at the two and recognized that these are her mother's parents.

Shizuma bent down at the little girl and smiled at her. "Hello Natsumi it's very nice to meet you!"

Natsumi looked up at her and noticed she looks just like Shizuru. She doesn't feel scared anymore as she smiled up at Shizuma

"Hello" Natsumi said in a shy voice. Shizuma beamed at her then glanced at Shizuru

"Ara Shizuru you never told me she was this cute! She's so adorable she looks like Natsuki." Shizuma said, Shiro bent down and smiled at the girl too.

"Natsumi, would you like to come with grandpa to have a small tour in the gardens?" He asked, Natsumi looked up at Shizuru to ask for permission. Shizuru smiled at her and nodded her head. Natsumi then looked at Shiro and took his hand to go for a walk. She gave a wave to both Shizuru and Shizuma and then left with Shiro.

While Shiro was spending time with his granddaughter, the two women have their tea so they both ended up sitting down at the table again. Natsumi was smiling happily whilst she was interested in the butterfly in her view.

"Natsumi seems to be liking the gardens. It so cute she looks like a miniature version of Natsuki." Shizuma giggled at her comment along with Shizuru.

"Indeed I'm so glad to see her smiling like that." Shizuru said

"Well from what you told your father and me, it's good that she is finally getting the happiness she deserves including you, Shizuru. You seemed to be happier now that she is here with you"

"Ara… even though it hasn't been long since she's been here I really do feel happy to have her around" Shizuru said.

"Shizuru, what are you going to do about Natsuki? After all what you two have been through, do you really think it's a good idea? I mean do you think this might push Natsuki away from you even more?" Shizuma said.

"I really don't know mother. Right now, I really don't know what's going on in her mind. I'm not even sure if there will be something between us again but from the earlier conversation I had with Yukino, I think Natsuki may still want to be with me. I mean… why else would she let me be with Natsumi and also for her to be reading Natsumi a bedtime story? Maybe it could work but right now, honestly, everything is all confusing… that's why as soon as she comes back, I'm going to talk to her." Shizuru said.

"Remember Shizuru as much as I love you and you are my daughter, just make sure you don't push yourself too hard. This is one of those times where you have to let Natsuki have space because it's not every day that you find a 5-6year old child to have your DNA along with your ex-lover making both of you her biological parent. Although you seem to settle fine with all this but Natsuki hasn't yet. I want to make sure you both don't end up hurting each other." Shizuma said.

"Ookini okaa-san. I'll be sure to not pressure her. I too want her to relax and not feel pushed too because I really don't want to lose her mother." Shizuru said in a soft sad voice. She had her head bow down as if she was having a deep thought. Without notice, she looked up and saw Natsumi appeared in front of her and she looked worried.

"Ara is there something wrong Nat-chan" Shizuru said.

"Why is mama upset?" Natsumi said just like Natsuki. They can always tell when Shizuru puts on her fake smile and this time Natsumi spotted it straight away and this has troubled the little girl. Shizuru picked her up and placed her on her lap whilst she hugged her.

"I'm sorry Natsumi. I just missed your mommy that's all but I'm sure to be happy from now on. I'm sorry to have you worried my little puppy." Shizuru said.

"Don't worry mama because mommy will be back soon and then she can be with us." Natsumi said with a smile on her.

Shizuru then looked up and saw both her father and mother smiling at her. She just couldn't be happier than this.

"Yes Natsumi. We'll be one big happy family." Shizuru smiled

Natsuki, I hope you feel the same way. Please hurry back soon. I feel lonely when you're not here.
