An ordinary Picnic and Decisions
Hiding in the brush two pairs of baby blue eyes tracked their target.
'Wolf Girl to Teddy Bear.'
'I'm NOT Teddy Bear. It's Grizzly Bear.' A little boy's voice said indignantly.
'Teddy Bear focus! Monster is in sight.'
'Stop calling me Teddy Bear! Shay!'
'Adi! Stop being such a baby!'
Baby blues glared into their mirror image, lying beside him, shining in mirth. Adi opened his mouth, but before he could utter a sound a loud SNAP came from behind. The two children froze instantly, thinking the monster must have spotted them while they were distracted. After communicating silently, they nodded in agreement and slowly turned their heads back.
They sighed in relief.
"It's only a bunny."
"Isn't it cute!"
Adi rolled his eyes at his sister's fawning over the bunny. She's always like this. The moment she's sees something cute and fuzzy. She gets all girly. He shuddered at the thought. Ignoring his sister, he turned his attention back to the clearing.
Where did it go? His eyes scanned the area, finding nothing.
Then he smiled slyly. Got you.
Eyes locked on his prey, he shook his sister's shoulder.
"What is it Teddy Bear?" Shay turned her attention back to her brother, who looked like he was going to blow his top.
Taking a few deep breaths, the tension simmered down and Adi pointed to the monster, leisurely sitting with its mate completely unaware of its would-be-hunters.
"Hmm that's a lot of ground to cover and there's not much we could hide behind. They could easily spot us." Shay observed.
Adi contemplated their situation; we need camouflage, but how. He soon brightened as an idea formed, "Temporal Distortion."
Shay stared at her brother. "Adi we just learned that."
Adi looked at her as if saying so-what's-your-point.
Shay sighed, "We can only distort space for about two seconds, the distortion is incomplete and hazy, not to mention they would sense our magic."
Each flaw his sister pointed out was shot like an arrow. Adi's head fell and his hands shifted the dirt in front of him dejectedly. Shay rubbed her brother's back comfortingly, knowing he will soon bounce back.
As expected a couple of moments later his hands stopped moving the pile of dirt.
Shay smiled, knowing what would come next.
Adi lifted his head, eyes shining as an even better idea formed.
"Let's move the bush!"
Shay blinked in confusion. Her brother continued smiling at her and soon she understood. That's perfect!
*****************
Fate ran her hand through loose brown locks atop of the head resting on her shoulder. "Is it okay we're not helping?"
Nanoha lifted her head to gaze into the red eyes she loved so much. "Our mothers have more than enough help. And besides," her arms loosely wrapped around Fate's neck, one hand reaching up into the silky soft mass of sun kissed hair to lie behind her head and gently tug down so their breath intermingled.
The bridge of Fate's nose tinged with a rosy complexion as the temperature between them increased a few degrees, her eye lids partially concealing the gentle fire Nanoha stoked.
Inwardly Nanoha smiled smugly at her predictable reaction. I've still got it.
"I… am… enjoying…" red eyes dominated her vision as Nanoha moved closer to the point Fate's lips were tantalized by what she could so easily possess if she only…
"hmpf." Nanoha's eyes slipped closed and lost herself, as did Fate, in emotions and passions that overflowed speaking through touch what words failed to describe.
When the breath of life could no longer be ignored they had to reluctantly pull apart. All the while, blue and red held onto the only contact that could go on forever without any bodily interruption.
They didn't even notice a bush move- a rather strange sight even on Mid-childa- near them.
"hmm" Fate licked her lips relishing Nanoha's unique taste like one would a fine wine. "So what were you saying?"
Her mind still clinging to their recent love excursion Nanoha had to pause to think. "Oh! I was just going to say how I enjoy your company."
Fate's eyes twinkled as she thought about how well they just enjoyed each other's company.
The world could be silent for so long and abruptly it made itself known, on one poor blond, as a sudden and obtrusive yell of "get the monster!" rang; immediately followed by her face meeting the dirt as two little bodies crashed into her.
After the split second of wrenching shock passed, Nanoha burst out into laughter.
In front of her two little children just took down Mid's fastest mage.
"We've got you now monster!" Adi yelled as he sat on Fate's back, a shrub's branch point held to the back of her neck like a sword.
Fate lifted her head and glanced at Nanoha whose laughter intensified, moisture building from the corner of her eye.
The reason for such uproarious laughter was Fate's once pale complexion was now coated by mud and clumps of grass. She made a pretty good mud monster.
Spitting out some of the dirt and grass that got into her mouth, Fate went up on all fours her nephew bouncing on her back in an attempt to keep her down.
"Wolf girl! Quickly grab her legs!"
Fate immediately felt small arms wrap around her and weakly pull her legs. Deciding to go along with their play she let herself collapse.
Adi poked at the still form lying beneath him, turning to Shay he grinned. "We got the monst- AH!" He fell on his side as Fate quickly rolled, her arm wrapping around his struggling body, trapping him beneath her.
"I've got you now! And I'm hungry!" She cried in her most menacing voice, which failed miserably in its gentle tone.
"Don't eat me!"
"I'll save you!" his sister cried.
But Fate was too fast and caught the girl before she could do anything, making her rest alongside her brother. She grinned at the children; the stark contrast of the dark dirt emphasizing the gleam of her pearly white teeth.
"hmm!" Then she licked her lips. Her nose scrunched in disgust at the taste of dirt and she began sputtering.
"Get her!" Adi yelled while Shay tackled Fate to the ground Adi soon joining his sister.
Nanoha watched the renewed struggle and shouts in amusement until a new presence diverted her attention.
"Why's Fate-mama rolling around in the dirt with Adi and Shay?" Vivio, who was playing with Arf not too far away, had seen her mother tumble followed by a bunch of yelling and became curious.
Nanoha, as a mother, knew the question for what it was and even if she didn't the slight twitches in her daughter's hand and the intense unwavering gaze tracking every movement the three made gave her away.
"Go ahead Vivio."
Heterochromic eyes looked at her with controlled excitement and a hint of disbelief. "Really?!"
Nanoha nodded while petting Arf's furry head lying near her legs.
She was uninterested in her master's play and simply closed her eyes, enjoying the soothing rub Nanoha was giving her. After her intense Frisbee game with Vivio, who was quiet competitive, lazing around without a care in the world was a nice way to unwind and relax. She yawned lazily showing her sharp canines, larger than an Earth wolf's teeth, then rested her head on her paws allowing soft sounds of nature broken by bursts of laughter amongst some shouting to loll her into a state of peace.
Without a backwards glance, Vivio charged in.
"ouf!" Fate gasped as the air was knocked out of her when Vivio landed on her stomach- her niece and nephew having her arms pinned with their legs beforehand.
"No… fair… three against… one." She panted between words.
Red and green eyes came into view as her daughter's cherub face hovered over her. "Nope! Fate-mama's strong!"
Fate smiled at the proud words, but she was smart enough to know when she needed help. So with pleading eyes she glanced sideways to a safely sitting Nanoha.
Rather enjoying the sight of Fate being ganged up by a bunch of kids, Nanoha merely smiled and waved.
Fate pouted, but Nanoha didn't budge.
Left to fend for herself, Fate roared and got yells in reply soon followed by squealing and laughter when in a burst of strength she captured all three children in her arms.
Their arms immobilized at their sides, their legs trashed occasionally colliding with her legs as she walked toward an amused Nanoha.
"Look what we're having for dinner Nanoha." She presented her prize, two grumpy faces of Adi and Shay, and a content Vivio hanging in her arms.
"hmm! Yummy!" She giggled.
"Nanoha! Fate!" They turned toward the distant call floating on the wind.
Nanoha's mother approached them.
"Foods rea-" she quickly took in: crumpled, grass-stained, dirty clothes, loose messy hair speckled with dirt and grass, one completely muddied face, and two equally dirty kids pouting, a smiling relatively clean Vivio compared to the other three, and her pristine, neat, and clean daughter sitting in front of the four.
Nanoha, seeing her mother switch from a leisurely walk to one filled with purpose, relaxed and waited for the coming show. Ou! This should be good.
Fate glanced between the two and wondered why Momoko looked like Nanoha on a mission and why Nanoha seemed eager. She shrugged not giving it any further thought.
Meanwhile, Shay and Adi, feeling the arms around them loosen a bit, wriggled. Sensing movement, Fate let the two kids slip free and placed Vivio down as well.
Right when Shay and Adi were about to run for it, Momoko arrived with a stern look that froze them in place.
A napkin seemingly from thin air appeared and quick as lightening, an element Fate was quiet attuned to, headed straight for the dirtiest of the bunch.
A streak of pale flesh emerged as the napkin whipped the dirt away.
The suddenness of a soft cloth brushing against her cheek shocked Fate into motionlessness, similar to a deer caught in the headlight.
The kids watching a grown woman being cleaned as their mothers clean them began to giggle, which soon turned into outright laughter as the treatment continued.
Fate began to fidget becoming increasingly uncomfortable as the seconds ticked by.
"Fate dear, stop fidgeting I'm almost done." The napkin's movement never paused in its ministrations.
She immediately stood still and the part of her face Momoko managed to clean colored with warmth, leaving her looking like a half chocolate half vanilla colored cookie only the white part was red.
'Enjoying yourself' The teasing tone of her wife intruded, intensifying the warm flush.
'NANOHA!'
'wwwhhaattt? You seem happy.' Blue eyes shined with laughter at her wife's predicament while knowing deep down Fate really did enjoy the motherly attention even though she appeared embarrassed.
'yo… your impossible!'
'I love you too!' Nanoha blew her a kiss and winked.
Momoko moved Fate's face all around critically searching for any stray dirt. Finding it to her liking she let go. "There. All done!"
A mere napkin transformed by the magic of a mother became like soap and water and made Fate's face squeaky clean, not a speck of dirt to be found.
"Thanks momo-" catching the warning glare Fate quickly corrected herself "mom" and gave her a hug, making the other woman smile.
"You're welcome Fate." Turning to the rest she voiced her reason for being there, "Come. Foods ready."
"Fate you're a mess." Her brother deadpanned upon seeing his usually prim sister in crinkled, grass stained clothes, and messy hair.
"Tell that to your kids." She plopped down on the blanket, Arf sitting beside her, while she waited for the rest of her family- Nanoha was talking to her dad, who was holding Vivio in his arms.
"Ah! That would explain it." He smiled knowingly. His kids could make the surroundings, people included, look like it had been wrecked by a tornado, leading him to affectionately call them torntwins (short for tornado twins). He soon turned to his wife's scolding and her prompt fussing over their kids, the familiar sight bringing a smile to his face.
"Look at you two! You're such a mess! Does it kill you to remain clean for more than 5 minutes!"
Amy tapped her hands over them trying to clean them up as much as possible. The two stood silently, enduring the all too familiar treatment while tuning out their mother's complaints.
When everyone was settled they ate while having some nice family chatter, the usual catching up, some interesting stories, and their daily lives, among other tidbits of conversation. While they sat digesting they watched the energetic kids play with Arf, who somehow ended up with a passenger, Adi, on her back chasing Vivio and Shay like a cowboy on a horse going after the criminals.
"ADI! Be CAREFUL!" Amy shouted, making the boy give a cheeky smile and a wave in acknowledgement. She sighed, "aaahhh. I should send them to live with you Nanoha."
Nanoha looked at her quizzically wondering from where that came from.
"Vivio is such an angel compared to those two." Another sigh. Then Amy slapped her husband's shoulder "it's all your fault!"
"What?! What did I do?!" Chrono rubbed his shoulder gingerly.
The older parents, Momoko, Shiro, and Lindy, looked on in amusement, Nanoha staring blankly while Fate enjoyed, to the point of being completely focused on, her second helping of chocolate cake.
"You spoil them too much!"
"What! I do not!"
"Yes you do! Just last week when they pulled that prank on the Liese twins you" she poked him in the middle of his chest "didn't even say a word. In fact you (poke) praised them."
Chrono smiled at the fond memory. It turned out his kids in an elaborate scheme shaved the twins' tails, and the look on his former mentors (or tormentors) faces in addition to their bald tails was priceless.
"Come on Amy." He rubbed her shoulders slowly releasing the tension and making her practically melt beside him. "You can't fault me for that." Amy knew Chrono respected his former teachers, but at the same time always wished he could get them back for some of the tortures they put him through. Thus, he was happy that unlike him his kids had the nerve to fulfill those childish desires.
"Hmm, but it's still your fault" she mumbled half heartedly. "I'm still sure a month with Nanoha will straighten them out. Right instructor!" Amy playfully winked at her all the while enjoying her massage.
Nanoha shook her head, "Raising two kids is much harder than one."
Amy waved her off. "I'm sure you'd do fine. You've trained many recruits two kids would be nothing for you."
Nanoha decided not to argue the point and remained silent. Amy didn't even mind, no longer caring about the topic with her husband's nice rub down.
"Speaking of kids how is my dear granddaughter doing?" Lindy spoke up after her conversation with Momoko and Shiro.
"You should visit more often and you'd know mom." Fate said after swallowing her last piece of cake.
"Fate, honey, you have a little… um…" Lindy pointed to the left side of her lip and went down to her chin.
Fate looked confused as Lindy gestured around her mouth.
Nanoha glanced at Fate's mouth decorated with some chocolate cake crumbs and giggled. "Allow me" She picked up a napkin and dabbed around Fate's mouth.
Fate heard her brother snigger and sent him a glare which promptly shut him up. Their parents merely smiled. Lindy's eyes twinkling as she took a sip of her tea.
'Is this clean up Fate day.' She grumbled while being outwardly embarrassed.
'Well, Fate-chan has been awfully dirty today.' Blue eyes twinkled while her voice sounded a little suggestive at least to Fate's hearing. Nanoha placed the napkin down, just a few more. Suddenly, Nanoha leaned over and kissed a surprised Fate her tongue licking some of the crumbs on Fate's lips. Then just as quickly she sat back.
'Yummy!'
'Nanoha… you… and… our parents… and you'
'Cat got your tongue'
'No. More like you' Fate deadpanned surprising Nanoha- a hint of red on her cheeks.
Shiro loudly cleared his throat setting aside their embarrassment and grabbing their attention.
Fate gave her smirking mother a slight smile, "she's ok. Does good in school, has a few close friends that she plays with from time to time, and likes to read the books Yunno gives her when Nanoha isn't training her in magic."
Lindy took a sip of her tea. Then commented, "sounds lonely."
Fate and Nanoha blinked owlishly.
Lindy set her cup down and took to explain to the young couple, "when she's not with her friends she spends time with things she could do alone or when you have time with you two."
They nodded hesitantly knowing it was true.
Absentmindedly or maybe intentionally Lindy continued, "It's too bad Erio and Caro live off world. It would be good for Vivio to spend more time with kids."
Vivio was too sweet to ask for a sibling as some other only child would and she adored her parents dearly. But, was she really lonely? She spent time with kids her age at school and she did have some play dates. She also at times played with her cousins as she was doing now.
As if to punctuate what Lindy was saying they heard their daughter laugh with her cousins, her cute face seemingly beaming in the minds' of her parents.
That's when they felt the cool sting of guilt and wondered if they were good parents. Should they have paid more attention? Vivio didn't laugh like that when she played with them. It was natural. They were on two different levels she was their child they her parents. Those were barriers that no child forgets even when she plays with her parents. Maybe they should seriously consider having another child.
They sat in silence while their parents conversed with each other and Chrono and Amy did their own thing.
N: 'do you feel like our parents are conspiring together?'
F: 'hmm. Your parents just talked about us having a baby a couple of days ago, and now my mom just guilt us into it.'
N: 'I don't know about you but I think it worked. I feel like we've been awful.'
F: 'I know what you mean. But, I don't think we should jump into this because of guilt.'
Nanoha nodded. It was a big step and they shouldn't rush into it. 'But what about Vivio?'
'I could tell Erio and Caro to visit.' Fate offered tentatively.
N: 'No. We shouldn't bother them. You know they're on that big case to capture poachers.'
Fate sighed. 'Let's talk about this later.'
Nanoha nodded and they turned to Vivio, who was vying for their attention Adi and Shay eagerly waiting behind her.
"Mamas!" Seeing her parents eyes on her Vivio continued, "Can I sleep over at Adi and Shay's house?"
"What did Chrono and Amy say?" Nanoha asked.
Shay jumped in speaking for her parents, "they said its okay."
Fate glanced at Chrono who nodded his head.
Shay continued without noticing her father's and aunt's silent communication, "Can Vivio stay over? ppplllleeeeaaaaasssseee" The siblings oh so sweetly said together their little white teethe seeming to sparkle in the sun from their exaggeratedly spoken please.
Deciding to tease them a bit Nanoha turned to Fate, who already told her Chrono approved the sleepover, "what do you say, Fate-chan?"
She discreetly winked at Nanoha before saying, "I don't know" she put sadness into her voice, looking upset, "I'm going to miss my baby girl."
"Aww! But Auntie Fate!" The siblings whined. "You see Vivio every day. Can't you share?"
From the corner of her eye she saw Chrono and Amy giggle before Chrono looking rather mischievous told his kids, "Your Aunt Fate doesn't like to share. I even remember this one time when we were kids, I took Nanoha shopping with me before Christmas and she-" before he could finish an apple somehow managed to cork his mouth. It was rather funny and a few sniggered as they were reminded of a stuffed pig with an apple in its mouth.
Nanoha glanced at Fate who chucked the fruit at him and looking rather smug. She remembered that day. He wanted to get a present for Amy and wanted a girl's advice. So he asked her to go shopping with him since Fate at the time was busy, at least that was his excuse, she felt he just didn't want Fate to tease him. So, they went to the mall the weekend before Christmas and spent the day shopping for presents; he helping her get something for Fate while she helped him with Amy's present. And two days after their shopping trip Chrono stunk like he bathed in a tub of different girl's perfumes and his usual debonair styled blue-black hair was dyed pinkish-red. It took two weeks for both the smell and color to wash away.
She never thought about it before, but 'were you jealous Fate-chan?'
'I was not! I just wanted to spend time with you and only the day after do I find out you were together with my brother all DAY LONG!' She grumbled impudently, her arms folded over her chest in what was clear displeasure.
Nanoha smirked. You are so jealous. She thought, feeling satisfied and a warm tingling in her heart. She impulsively gave Fate a hug, she was too cute to resist, and melted the frown from Fate's face. While still holding Fate, who happily snuggled into her embrace, she looked at the kids who stared at the three adults looking a bit lost, "Don't worry about Fate-chan. I'll keep her company while you're gone Vivio."
The three beamed. Adi and Shay voiced their pleasure, "you're the best Auntie Nanoha!" before grabbing Vivio's hand and rushed off to play. Vivio briefly smiled and waved to her parents while she was dragged off.
"Kids are so sweet." Momoko said sweetly a pleasant smile on her face as she looked at her snuggling daughters, Chrono who with Amy's help was getting the apple out of his mouth, and the three little ones running around. Sitting between Shiro's legs, she leaned into him and he wrapped his arms a little tighter around her waist in agreement.
"Yes they are." Lindy agreed taking a sip from her tea.
Nighttime. Nanoha and Fate's bedroom
"Okay. Good night honey."
"Good night. Mamas!"
Lying in bed they watched, the holographic screen showing their daughter blink away.
"Looks like she's having fun." Nanoha said.
"hmm."
A comfortable silence blanked them as they lay together basking in each other's warmth.
As Nanoha played with strands of soft blond hair, their earlier conversation weighed heavily in her mind, she broke the silence, "should we have a baby?"
Fate, resting on her back, turned to Nanoha. "Thinking about Vivio?"
Nanoha nodded, twirling a golden lock around her finger and then releasing. Her hand moved from blond hair to Fate's stomach their fingers intertwining before stilling. Questioning blue eyes gazed into red, darkened a deeper shade by the thoughts and, knowing her wife, worries which ran through her wife's mind.
Fate sighed, breaking eye contact to stare at the white ceiling, searching for answers. She felt Nanoha's thumb run soothing circles on the back of her hand and the corners of her lips lifted into a gentle smile. She turned to her again. "Do you feel Vivio's lonely?" She had her own idea, but wanted Nanoha's perspective first.
Nanoha voiced her thoughts as she thought them, making her sound hesitant, "I think… even with the time she spends with friends at school and after school she is a lot of the time by herself."
Fate nodded, "I think so to." She paused for a while gathering her thoughts. "If and I'm only saying if, we have another kid then Vivio will always have someone to play with."
Nanoha nodded. "and she'll learn the joys of having another sibling."
Fate snorted, "Yeah. Both the good and bad."
Nanoha gave her a sly smile. "Did Chrono torture you?" She cooed like a mother would to her child who got a boo-boo.
Fate raised an eyebrow, then shook her head no. "I love him. But, sometimes… he's just so… irritating."
Nanoha giggled. She knew Fate adored her brother and they were really close even though they weren't blood related. "You know you wouldn't trade him for the world."
Fate looked away shyly, "yeah." Then coughed as if clearing that conversation. "We should be prepared for fights between them. Vivio could also feel threatened at sharing her parents so we'd have to deal with that too. We'll also need more money and-" Nanoha gently held Fate's cheeks, stopping her from going further.
Red and blue stared at each other.
"I think it's worth it."
"You do. Do you?"
Nanoha nodded then rested her forehead against Fate, whose heart started beating just a bit more rapidly. "Yes I do." She whispered, and Fate heard a bit of huskiness in her voice making her feel a little hotter.
Fate raised her hands and loosely rested them behind Nanoha's head, "so are we adopting…" Fate stopped again.
Nanoha put a finger to Fate's lips, which was kissed, making her finger tingle. Blue eyes darkened from the emotion the woman lying beneath her evoked and her own thoughts, making her body feel hotter then it usually was. "I want your baby" She mouthed each word precisely; her voice husky with desire.
Fate flushed from the bold words and what it implied.
Nanoha dipped closer resting her lips near Fate's ear so she felt each and every warm breath. Fate's desire rose, her heart beat rising with it.
"I think…" Nanoha paused slightly blowing in her ear and heard a squeak, making it worth it. Gosh, I love her. She continued speaking into Fate's reddened ear, "you'd make a good papa." She then nibbled on Fate's ear, receiving a soft moan for her efforts.
It took a while with the actions from Nanoha's mouth distracting her, but eventually Fate picked it up. Her eyes blinked open- somewhere during Nanoha's flirting they closed- and suddenly sat up, jostling Nanoha and making her fall on the bed; her loose hair fanning around her head giving her an angelic look.
Nanoha moaned in frustration, "moe! Fate!"
"PAPA!" Fate spat out incredulously, staring into Nanoha's innocent blue eyes.
Nanoha smiled impishly, and Fate wriggled uncomfortably, "yes because Fate's quite handsome. She makes me feel faint." She moved her hand to her forehead as if she were a dainty lady all out of breath.
Her play worked for Fate smiled and felt better. She leaned closer to Nanoha so she could whisper, "So you think I'd make a good papa?"
"Most definitely." Nanoha nodded pulling Fate further down for a kiss.
Fate paused right before their lips met, "Then maybe I should go get a sex change." Before she could close the distance, Nanoha pushed her away and looked absolutely livid.
"Fate Testarossa Harlaown! Don't you dare even touch a hair on that pretty body of yours!"
Fate mentally winced, Nanoha never called her by her full name. She almost started to berate herself for making Nanoha so angry. Then as she heard the rest of Nanoha's most vengeful scolding she felt an extreme sense of pleasure, which could only be described as an overpowering feeling of love that blanketed her in a warm embrace. She wasn't serious at all about what she said and only meant to tease her a little, but Nanoha's reaction was still very touching. Unfortunately for Nanoha, Fate was bitten rather hard by the bug of mischief for its poison still coursed through her veins. So acting appalled, she put a hand to her chest and gasped in shock, "Nanoha! I never knew you felt that way!"
Nanoha sniffed indigently, "of course I do!" She then grabbed and hugged her tightly "You big idiot. I love you for you. Just the way you are."
Fate rubbed her back, taking comfort in Nanoha's hug and words, which she always knew; but still it felt nice hearing them. "I was just joking Nanoha." She whispered tenderly.
Nanoha pulled back to stare into apologetic red eyes and couldn't stay mad at her, "You shouldn't even joke about that."
"What? The sex change or you loving me?"
"both."
Fate nodded and put her hand up. "I, Fate Testarossa Harlaown, promise never to joke about a sex change and Nanoha's love for me."
Nanoha laughed a sound that warmed Fate's heart. "You dummy" She whispered.
Fate smirked, "yes. But I'm your dummy."
"Yes you are." Nanoha smiled before leaning into kiss her. "and I'm proud of it."
"Love you Nanoha."
"Love you to Fate."
And the rest was a night the young couple won't soon forget.
Bonus scene
"… eggs, milk, cereal…." Fate recited the grocery list Nanoha gave her while surveying the aisles for the items. Her eye twinkled a moment. She paused and walked backwards, the cart rolling along with her to the alluring item.
"What have we here?" she picked up the clear packaging containing a delicious looking, "Devils chocolate cake. A chocolate lover's sinful delight. Three layers of moist, rich, dark chocolate and Strawberry filling, from Mid's finest strawberries." Fate's mouth watered as she imagined taking a bite. Pure bliss shone in her eyes as the imaginary cake melted, its flavor coating her tongue in all its sweet goodness. But delight soon turned sour as a foot tapping, arms folded, Nanoha looked at her with disapproval.
Fate looked hesitantly at the cake. It twinkled at her, as if saying 'take me.' Hesitance soon changed into deep concentration.
Seconds ticked by.
Soon a minute passed.
When finally…
"Nope. She won't mind." Fate brightly dropped the cake into the cart, smilingly happily while she continued grocery shopping.
AN: I have a poll running for who you think should get pregnant. I'll leave it opened till we get to that scene, which I have no idea when will happen but I'll warn you when we're nearing it. So, if you want Nanoha or Fate to be pregnant vote!
So as usual I hope you liked it!
