Another short with Vivio and her two mothers. What would happen if Vivio wanted a pet?

Can We Keep It?

By: Satashi

"Please Nanoha-mama?" Vivio held up a small kitten.

"Honey, no pets." Nanoha crossed her arms. "You're too young to take care of it, I'm sorry."

"But he's lonely." Vivio tried again, following her mother as she walked across the house. "Please?"

"I'm sorry, we can't have a kitten here." She sighed out. "Mou, Fate say something?"

"I don't mind," Fate bent over to look at the small gray and black kitten and smiled when it meowed at her. "It's cute."

"Fate!" Nanoha pulled her up and away from a very happy looking Vivio. "You know we can't keep a pet here!"

"We keep Arf in her puppy form a week each month or so," Fate retorted. "Look how happy she is, come on."

"That's only because Arf can feed and take care of herself, you've never taken care of a real pet before."

Fate sighed. "Nanoha, don't be so harsh, have you never wanted a pet before?"

She thought about it.

"A ferret?" Nanoha's father asked, confused.

"It's a type of mouse," Momoko told him as she sat the salad bowl onto the table.

"Oh you know what a ferret is?"

Miyuki leaned forward. "They're really popular as pets."

"Is it big?"

Nanoha held up her small hands. "It's about this big. I'll take really good care of it, so please?"

"Th-that was different!" Nanoha blushed at her childhood memory. "I was nine, Vivio can't even speak properly just yet, she can't handle a pet!"

"Of course she can't, that's why we'll take care of it together." Fate made Nanoha look at Vivio while she played with the small kitten. "Come on, can you tell that Face no?"

"I can, it will just make me feel horrible." Nanoha crossed her arms. "Fate we can't."

"Come onnnnn," Fate wrapped an arm around her shoulders and poked her cheek. "Who's my little bunny, hmmmm?"

Nanoha flushed. "Fa-fate, not now..."

"Who is? Hmmm?" Cuddling up against her, she rubbed their cheeks together. "Who's my loving sweetheart bunny girl?"

"I... I am..."

"And she wouldn't hurt a little girl's feelings would she?" Fate continued to coo at her.

"...No..." The blue eyes girl looked away shyly, lips turning into a small smile.

"So we can keep it?" Fate acted in an exceedingly happy tone. "Is it okay with my fluffy lovely happy bunny girl?" She gave her best puppy dog eyes and even picked up Vivio so she could help her.

"Yes, we can keep it." Nanoha smiled at the two, speaking in a happy voice.

"Hooray!" Vivio threw her arms around Nanoha and crawled from Fate's arms over into hers. "Thank you, Nanoha-mama!"

"Yes, yes." Nanoha smiled at the attention she was getting from her happy daughter. "Let's take good care of it okay?"

"Uhn!" The small girl allowed her mother to sit her onto the floor before she took off immediately over to play with her new pet.

"What are we going to name it?" The blond wondered as she walked after her.

'Ah, they're so cute...' Suddenly Nanoha blinked. 'Wait a minute... what just happened here?' Her eyes followed Fate and Vivio. 'She... She did it again! God I can't believe I fell for the fluffy lovely happy bunny girl line again! That's the third time this WEEK!'
