Persistent knocking sound on her house front door and familiar voices that call her name again and again force Fate lazily gets up from her bed. he walks out of her room. Fate takes a peek into Arf's bedroom. The werewolf is still snoring peacefully. Except in a situation where there is a threat that can put Fate's life in danger, her loyal werewolf will sleep like a log. It's almost impossible to wake her up until her "scheduled start to work hour" comes that is still one more hour.

There is no another choice than to meet the annoying husband and wife who had brought her back from her dreamless but peace slumber to the reality by herself. This time Fate makes sure to put on a very angry face. However, the very angry face instantly comes off because as soon as she opens her front door house, she is "attacked" by a squealing brunette mother.

"Kyaaa! Fate-chan in pajama! So cute~~~!" And then comes on Takamachi's typical full of love hug (aka a very tight hug). As usual, the hug makes Fate thinks she is going to die.

Shiro sighs. He agrees that Fate looks super cute in two pieces black pajama set with yellow stars design completed by brown bear-shape slippers so just like her wife, he also wants to hug Fate too. Sadly his hands are already occupied by Nanoha who keeps moving her hands and legs to get Fate's attention . "Ah!.. Ah!..'' said the baby.

Fate puts her hands on Momoko arms, pushing Momoko and ending the hug session. "..Let me go."

Momoko pouts "But.."

"No but! Why are you guys knocking a vampire's house at 6.00 AM? Whether I choose to sleep at daylight or at night, 6.00 AM is still my bedtime!"

"Ah! Right! We have decided! We give our Nanoha to you! Here take our Nanoha! " Shiro cheerfully shoving his three months old baby into Fate arms. " I entrust my precious daughter to you! Please take a good care of her, from this moment and on, in goodness and sadness until death separates you two."

"What?!" Exclaimed Fate stands dumbfoundedly holding Nanoha.

OW!" Momoko hits her husband's head with her workbag.

" Sorry Fate-chan. What my silly husband meant was because of my maternity leave had been over, please take care of Nanoha while we're working."

Burgundy eyes widen "W..Why me!?"

Shiro and Momoko look and smile at each other.

During 3 months being Fate's next door neighbor, Shiro investigation on the little blonde shows that Fate Testarossa is indeed not " a wolf in sheep's clothing ". She is aloof, cold, distant but there is no tendency to commit crime. Instead, she hated bad deeds, happy to obey rules, peaceable, courteous and helpful. Those traits all are confirmed by Lindy's familiar who plays the role as Takamachi's cat. Linith has special ability to read true personality from aura and according to the look of Fate's aura for 24/7 she's really kindhearted vampire.

Every time Shiro or Momoko dragged Fate to do various things for them to test her personality (those tests make Fate believes that Shiro and Momoko are arbitrary people), yes, Fate showed displeased expression, yes Fate felt disturbed by their requests sometimes but her aura also said that she was happy to help them or others. Besides the Testarossa and the Takamachi, the other occupants of that residential area are mostly elderly people and most of them had ever been helped by Fate once or more. In addition, Fate has appearance which at that age it is more accurately described in words "too or super cute". Unbeknownst to Fate, the residential area occupants are greatly love her and in those 3 months she also had conquer not only Takamachi Momoko's heart but also Takamachi Shiro's heart. Fate had earned their gratitude, trust and love. Inwardly, based on his hunches as a father, Shiro even had given Fate his blessing to be his future daughter in love from Shiro's part. Right or wrong his little Nanoha obviously like Fate a lot. That's why Shiro and Momoko had agreed that there is no one more appropriate to look after the baby than her. However, they can't tell Fate that they investigate her all this time.

Shiro pats Fate's head. "Well.. Nanoha can be with us today because of Fate-chan's help so Fate-chan have responsibility to look after her too!"

What kind of logic is that? ".. Don't pat my head..".

Momoko wipes her imagination tears with handkerchief " There is a news lately that reveals a child becomes an idiot because it's nanny jabbed needle to the poor child's head by stealth since he was a baby.. What if we also choose wrong Nanny..? Does Fate-chan wants Nanoha experiences terrible things like that?"

Fate's good heart makes her unconsciously hold Nanoha tighter and reflexively shook her head. Feeling more warmth of the blonde, Nanoha shows an adorable smile and clings more to the blonde. The view creates satisfied expression on Shiro's face. Shiro whispers to her wife.

"See dear? The great father's hunch of mine is surely not wrong! My little princess has a nice taste!"

"I bet my 2 years secret savings. There's no Takamachi swings that way."

"Bet your 5 years secret savings and we have a deal!"

"Deal then!"

Fate tilts her head slightly "What are you both betting on?"

"Nothing! Here is our house key, you can get everything you need in our house. Here is instruction of what you must do. Please take care Nanoha and Also Linith! " The couple answer in unison.

"Eh?"

"Miaow."

Out of nowhere, an adult grey and white fur cat appears. It stands on her two feets in front of Fate and kept miaowing to Fate.

What the..

" We haven't given her breakfast. Please give her breakfast. Our office is quite far from here so we have to go now." Momoko and Shiro steal the opportunity to kiss cheek the off guard blonde, thanks to her brain that is trying to process what had happened." See you later Fate-chan! "

Takamachi couple go off to work in extremely good mood. Leaving behind a flushing red face little blonde with a happy baby and a starving cat.

3 months old baby needs to drink milk about 8 to 12 times in 24 hours. It means every 2-3 hours and good bye to her sleep on the daylight habit. Arf hates humans but if for her master's sake she is willing to look after Nanoha. Unfortunately Nanoha cries every time Arf tries to carry her. Nanoha also refuses to drink milk if the one who is holding the bottle is not Fate. Fate finally accept her destiny to look after Nanoha by herself while Arf is in charge to look after Linith.

10 months later

On the roof of 60 floors building, two terrified men are lifted and hung in the air by magic chain that is controlled by a snake man.

"Don't come any closer or I will kill them all!" He hissed.

Momoko puts her magic weapon on the floor then raises her both hands.

" Easy there! Let's talked about this first! You are Prolotapes a quite well known photographer, right? Killing ordinary humans is a serious crime. Don't ruin your good life. Put them down and let them free. I assure you, your punishment won't be severe! "

Eyes glowing red dangerously " No! " a finger of hand that is filled with silver scales pointed to a grey hair men who already wets his pants " he steals my money and cheat on me with this filthy host! I have to kill them both!" He tightening his chains made the two man cry in pain.

Momoko narrowed her eyes. " They're so unworthy to be the reason that ruined one's life. Open your eyes Prolotapes! There are still many free good gays out side there! I will present you one of it! Yunoo! Come up here now!"

Yunoo appears, wearing a neat black tuxedo. Emerald eyes directly staring into red eyes unobstructed by his eyeglasses. Yunoo Doesn't use his eyeglasses for two purposes. One it is to show his handsomeness more and two it is to be not able to look clearly. That way he can not clearly see how scary an angry snake man looks like. That way, he can keep his charming smile and calm facade. His tied long blonde hair waving elegantly by each step he takes towards the angry snake man.

Not long after, the snake man also moves closer to Yunoo and sniffing on Yunoo from the head to the toe. Half snake people tribe can find out what others' sexual preference from their smell. Shiro uses that opportunity to break the chain with his sword and free the two men. Even so, the snake man does not seem to care about them anymore and keeps sniffing on Yunoo. Yunoo feels scare. Very very scare but at the same time he feels proud because his handsomeness can bewitch the angry snake man to the point where he forgets his killing plan.

".. You.." Red eyes bore into emerald. " Your smell shows that you're a gay to the core but somehow you remind me to a ferret.. "

" Eh "

Long forked tongue licks Yunoo face

" Ferret is delicious food.."

" Meeppp! Helpppp! "

Bright cherry blossom light knocks the snake man to the ground. He tries to get up but the same cherry blossom light bind him on the spot. Momoko smiles gently." Don't worry Yunoo. I guarantee there will be no harmed harmless animal in cases that are handled by me!"

" I am not an animal ! "

Elevator door on the Third Division of The Special Crime Squad opens. "We are back~!"

Hearing familiar sound, Shari lift her head from papers on her desks "Welc.. Huh? What happened with your face Yunoo?" He more looks like a ferret..

Shiro puts his left hand on Yunoo's shoulder, pull the man with some bruised on his right and left eye area. "Everything is fine! There was only a little accident. Right buddy? Being so close with the man whom he is not so secretly fell in love with makes Yunoo only can nod his head. Momoko smiles innocently.

"Shiro! Momoko! Come here right away! Look view that Linith sent! Nanoha says her first clear word!" Lindy voice suddenly heard.

Shiro and Momoko rush to Lindy's office. On magical screen they see Fate and Nanoha at a garden. Fate points things around them while mentioning each thing's name.

" Butterfly."

" Flower. "

" Tree."

" Sky"

" cloud"

Nanoha looks at Fate's face.

" Hm? What is it? Do you get it?"

Nanoha points at Fate "Ah!"

" Ah.. Me? I am Fate. Fate" Fate shows her rare warm smile.

Nanoha blinks then smiles and unexpectedly says "Love!"

Fate is taken aback "Love? No! Not love! Fate. Fate."

"Love!"

"Fate."

"Love!"

"Fate! From where you heard word love? I don't teach you that word?"

"Love!"

"..."

Takamachi Nanoha says her first clear word when she is 13 months old. Her first clear word is "Love" and that word is addressed to Fate by her.

Hello there! First I want to thank you to all who had followed and favorited this story. Second I apologize because I had not updated this story for a long time. The reasons are... honestly writer's block, language problem and other life problems. Who thought this year we have to put mask etc just like in movies about an infectious plague? Anyway, let's try to keep up the spirit.
