Mai heaved the shopping basket onto her other arm as she reached up for packets of noodles. She had no idea how she was going to get all her groceries back to her apartment, but she knew she would have no time later in the week to get anything in.

She pottered down the aisle checking her list for anything else she needed when the shelf of chocolate bars caught her eye. Mai started checking out the available deals when she felt a tug on her skirt. She looked down to see a small girl pulling on her skirt and pointing up at the chocolate that she obviously couldn't reach.

Mai was shocked to notice that while the girl had perfect Japanese facial features, her hair was golden blonde. She had never seen such a combination, but this girl had to be the cutest child she had ever seen.

"You want the chocolate."

The girl mumbled something Mai did not understand, but she kept pointing at the chocolate.

"You don't speak Japanese?" Mai asked. "English? You want chocolate?"

"That one please!" The girl said, Mai's level of English was poor, but she caught the gist of what the girl wanted. She was about to pass down the chocolate bar when a harsh voice called out to her.

"Don't give her that." Mai spun around, chocolate in hand, to see someone she had not seen in years; Oliver Davis.

"Naru?!" Mai felt her mouth fall open in shock.

"Mai." Oliver acknowledged. "Do not give that chocolate to Hana."

The small girl, Hana presumably, said something in English to Oliver, who replied likewise. Mai watched as the young girl pouted up at Oliver, who stared sternly down at her.

"Who is she?" Mai asked tentatively.

"Her name is Hana. She is my daughter." Oliver replied, stiffly.

Mai rapidly backtracked mentally. She was 20 years old, which made Oliver a maximum of 21 years old. Hana could not have been older than 4 or 5 years old. He must have been 16 years old when she was conceived.

"Legally at least." Oliver added at Mai's expression.

"Explain please?" Mai requested. Oliver looked at war with himself.

"She's Gene's child. But when I returned to England, the mother pulled child support card and the DNA test said I was the father. The judge wouldn't listen when I explained I was a twin." He said. "So legally, I am now her father, despite being a virgin."

"Wow. That is…" Mai trailed off rather pathetically.

"Unfortunate." Oliver finished.

"But why are you in Japan?"

"Lin and Madoka's wedding next weekend. Jenny, Hana's mother, dumped her on me and said she was going away with her boyfriend and that I had her for the next month. So we're both here as my parents thought it'd be good for me to bond with Hana." He sounded bitter.

Mai watched as Hana went and clung to Oliver's trouser leg. She could see the little girl obviously wanted approval from Oliver, but he seemed unable to show her any affection.

"Does she know?" Mai nodded her head towards the girl.

"No."

"Does Gene know?"

"I have no idea; he still seems unable to contact me. You should tell him if the idiot hasn't moved on yet."

"Will do." Mai said, smiling awkwardly. "I should finish shopping."

"Yes." Oliver said. "Come on Hana." He took the small girls hand and led her away. Mai watched them go, then hurried to the checkout.

Author's note: This idea came when I saw a little girl matching Hana's description at the Climbing Centre the other week and she was honestly the MOST ADORABLE THING I HAVE EVER SEEN! So I had to write her as a character. And Loads of fics are Mai with a kid, but I am yet to see one with Naru with one... What do you think? Anyone want to write with me?
