Present Day
Ding. Dong. The doorbell rang, waking Nana from her thoughts.
Glancing at the clock, Nana wondered if it was Ren-kun with the matchmaker. Putting the last of the dishes away, she headed for the door.
"Mama! Lambo want to play!" said boy exclaimed as Nana walked past him to the door.
"I-Pin too!"
"Mama, may I take them to the park?" Fuuta asked.
"Thank you, Fuuta," Nana spoke absently as she opened the door.

Reborn and his guest waited patiently at the door. They could hear the TV as well as the children.
Curious, Reborn looked over to his companion, "Are you ready for this?"
His companion nodded, though a trained observer would notice the wariness in his eyes.

Nana opened the door. Smiling, she greeted Ren-kun. "Welcome, Ren-kun. May I ask who your guest is?"
Reborn smirked and introduced his companion. "Nana-chan, this is Hibari Fon who will be acting as our matchmaker. Fon, this is Sawada Nana, the woman I wish to marry."
Nana blushed at Re-kun's introduction and gestured, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Hibari-san. Please, come in."
"Please, call me Fon." Fon bowed before entering.
"F- fon-san."
Looking up, Fon smiled at the woman in front of him and nodded in thanks.
As Nana was leading her guests to the kitchen table, she heard the children running down the stairs.
"Mama, we are off!" Fuuta shouted as he ushered the two five-year olds out the door.

Reborn let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Glancing at Fon, he whispered, "That was close."
Fon merely nodded in return.
"Nana-chan, I brought you a gift." Reborn pulled a small box out of his left inner jacket pocket.
He smiled as Nana shyly took the box from him. "Would either of you like something to drink?" She asked.
Reborn asked for his usual espresso as well as a green tea for Fon.

Nana served refreshments and snacks before sitting. Once seated, she could no longer postpone opening the gift Ren-kun had given her.
Slowly, she opened the box as the two men sat across from her.
Gasping, she slowly withdrew a silver chain. Dangling from the chain was a man's silver ring.
Tears threatening, Nana looked at the man sitting across from her. "You kept it all this time?" She whispered.
Ren-kun merely smirked at her. "Always."
vvv
It didn't take long for the three of them to work out an arrangement. Since, Nana and Reborn had been blessed by her father prior to his death; this would be of a re-acquaintance period instead of matchmaking.
