A/N: This is the end, all things must come to an end and I feel I have found a satisfying end for myself. I like this little world I have made and will be going back to re-edit Check the Gate to better sync the stories. I had a vague idea of this story while writing that but as I have noted at the start of my later chapters this story was hijacked by NanoFate when it should have been more predominately EinVi. I want to thank everyone who Followed, Favorited and Reviewed, all the support has kept me writing when I was rather depressed due to my fluctuating health. When I first started writing my stories I was dealing with a lot medical issues which have mostly been resolved but I still can have issues if I push myself physically too hard and sadly I am a stubborn person who likes to bite off more than I can chew at times.

I am now off to revise my one-shots and hopefully come back with something new for everyone soon, TTFN!

Epilogue

Takamachi-Testarossa Residence, Bel Air, CA

June XX, 20XX

Nanoha laid in her king sized bed reading though her mind was slightly distracted by the fact that her wife was not laying beside her. The blonde was currently dealing with their younger daughters who seemed bound and determined to drive each other crazy. Despite being offered separate rooms the girls had chosen to share and then proceeded to annoy each other to the best of their ability. Each had their own rational reasons for wanting to share a room, which in the end boiled down to them both being lonely for their elder sisters who were now on their honeymoon.

The family had decided collectively to stay in the US until the wedding then return to Japan as a group, though Vivio had to return to Japan for a few months to conclude her contractual obligations and Einhart found herself suddenly hip deep in work on her project with her cousin Caro and Erio once again. When Einhart and Vivio returned from wherever they had decided to spend their secret honeymoon the family would decamp. But it wouldn't be a permanent exodus, after creating or rebuilding so many relationships the family decided to keep the Bel Air home and spend a portion of all their future summers there.

Fingering the book's cover Nanoha tried not to get impatient; she needed Fate beside her if she was going to have any chance at falling asleep. The growing twins in her womb were currently kicking and wriggling like mad, as they did every night until her wife massaged her stomach and sang to the two little spoilt princesses in the making. Four months pregnant and she was already feeling overwhelmed by the two little invaders. Precia had delivered on her promise to help them conceive identical twins, a dream come true for both mothers-to-be.

When the door opened she looked up instantly and asked, "Is everything alright?"

Fate looked at her lounging wife and felt her heart flutter, the thin cotton sleep shirt she was wearing hung loose on her frame. The soft outline of full breasts and the swell of Nanoha's burgeoning belly was the most attractive sight Fate had ever seen.

Licking her lips Fate stared deeply into her wife's eyes and said, "Perfect."

Nanoha flushed at the double entendre making Fate smile. The blonde went to their dresser and opened a drawer to get the massaging oil allowing her wife a moment to collect herself. Pregnancy hormones had the auburn haired woman horny twenty-four seven and Fate was in hog heaven getting to spoil her wife but knew she had to pace them so Nanoha got sufficient rest. When the foot of the bed dipped Nanoha opened her eyes to look at her wife questioningly. Fate smiling took up her wife's right foot and began massaging the slightly swollen extremity. Working her way up Fate massaged ankle, calf and thigh of one leg then started on the other. By the time she was done Nanoha had practically melted into goo.

Getting up from the foot of the bed Fate then made her way to her wife's side and gently lifted her forward before sliding behind her and resting her precious bundle between her legs. Fate then pulled off her wife's sleep shirt and set it aside before scooping up her long hair and tying it back in a loose knot. Her gentle yet strong hands then began massaging her wife's stomach as she sang a sweet lullaby and the twins settled altogether under her loving touch allowing their mother to further relax. Fate then took up her wife's left hand and began massaging it finger by finger and working her way up. After both arms were completed Fate started on Nanoha's neck and worked her way down her back, working out all the knots. After finishing she placed a sweet kiss on the back of her wife's neck and made to reach for her sleep shirt to help her back into it.

Nanoha truthfully really didn't want to put on the garment but had rather snuggle into her wife for all necessary warmth. Being as uncooperative as possible and snuggling back finally garnered her a sigh from her wife.

"Nano-love, you need to let me dress you. I have a hard enough time not touching you where I really want to when you are wearing it but to lay here naked will demolish all my self-control."

Humming and turning her head to rub her cheek on Fate's shoulder she asked cheekily, "And where would my wonderful wife want to touch? Depending on where it is I just might want to encourage her."

The blonde groaned making the pregnant woman laugh. Fate decided at that point Nanoha had earned the teasing she was going to give her. Letting her hands snake up Fate cupped her wife's breasts and let her thumbs brush over the sensitive peaks. Gently she tweaked the darkening nipples making Nanoha squirm in her lap. Pressing opened mouth kisses on her wife's exposed neck and shoulder before finding her wife's favorite spot and gently nipped and sucked.

Nanoha was ready to flip in Fate's lap and begin grinding on her wife but her pregnancy made her clumsy and awkward. So instead she pulled one of the tormenting hands from her breasts and tried to push it towards her now soaking center. But her growing belly was now beginning to get in the way and made the angle almost impossible. The growl of impatience and frustration almost made Fate laugh but she knew from Nanoha's first pregnancy to never laugh at the horny pregnant woman. Instead she helped her wife get into a more receptive position and began the enjoyable process of making her wife fall to pieces.

Settling her wife back against her Fate pulled the blankets up over them before wrapping her arms carefully around her lover with one hand resting lightly on her precious tummy. Fate kissed Nanoha's temple and whispered to the now exhausted woman, "I love you Nanoha. Sleep well love."

Nanoha smiled sleepily and hummed, "Love you Fate-chan."

~"~"~"~"

It was the last day of their honeymoon and already Vivio was sighing as she looked over the veranda, she really didn't want to leave their little mountain retreat and return to the spotlight. Despite having completed all projects they still had the promotions for those projects to deal with into the next year and neither was looking forward to the times they would have to be separated. During their three month separation both had taken time to see mental health care specialists as they knew recent events had changed the dynamics of their relationship and not in all good ways. Both had left therapy much happier but still felt the anguish of not having the other by their side.

Einhart's desperate need to have Vivio alone was only matched by the blonde's willingness to succumb to all her demands. It was frightening to both of them when they realized how addicted to each other they had become, but in a small way it also relieved their hearts and minds to know the other was just as struck as the other. Their two week honeymoon had been made up of long walks along the trails with leisurely picnics and swimming in the small private lake on the property which often included love making in the fresh mountain air followed by cuddling together in the cabin where they talked of their future and of course more love making as they couldn't get enough of each other.

Einhart heard the sigh and made her way to the blonde and wrapped her lovingly in her arms, nuzzling her nose into her lover's neck she asked, "What's wrong love?"

Leaning into the loving warmth Vivio sighed again but from contentment this time instead of melancholy. Tilting her head to allow Einhart greater access to her neck as she was now pressing kisses along its length she said breathlessly, "I don't want to leave here. I don't want to deal with the media or people gawking at us. I want to be stupidly selfish and hide away with you here until the end of time."

Einhart stopped lavishing kisses on her wife's neck and sighed, "I'd really like that too love. But we have obligations and eventually we would miss our family and friends. Its best if we just get this next year over with and try to find a way to balance school and married life. I for one would like to avoid some of the hardships our moms went through trying to find their balance. I think if we just keep in mind our goals and talk about our needs we'll be alright. But god knows I am going to miss you when we have to go on promotion tours."

Vivio twisted around to face her wife, the thrill of the thought made her smile every time it crossed her mind. She let her hand trace the delicate bone structure of her lover's face, the high cheek bones, the long lean jaw line, the smoothness of her forehead and the gentle slope of her nose, the living embodiment of beauty. Then she cupped the back of Einhart's head and pulled her slightly down for a long and satisfying kiss. Breaking it she whispered reverently, "I love you."

The squeezing tight hug shared spoke volumes to each. They were on the cusp of their new life together and despite all the uncertainty and likely challenges they would have to face there was one thing they could now count on, their love for one another. Both had learned from the best example set before them, when Nanoha and Fate had ever so briefly forgotten to put their love foremost was the only time they had stumbled as a pair. Pride and self-pity would have no place in their lives if they could help it. Walking back into the cabin they settled onto comfortable leather couch to snuggle for a short time before taking their last calming walk of the grounds.

~"~"~"~"~

Nanoha looked down at her ever expanding stomach and thought again about the tiny miracles within, she was carrying her Fate-chan's babies. Babies that her dastardly wife had tried to beg, barter, and plead with her mother to ensure would look like their beautiful auburn haired mama (her exact words). Nanoha had shaken her head discretely to this idea and Precia Testarossa knew better than to go against her daughter-in-law in anything. Fate had eventually gotten her mother to at least agree to no more blonde babies, Fate loved Sora and Vivio's blonde hair but twin blonde girls would be like asking for history to repeat itself, no thanks!

Little did Fate know but Nanoha had later begged, bartered and pleaded with her mother-in-law for the twins to bea more perfect blending of their genetic backgrounds. When told blonde was off the table due to Fate's strong and understandable objections Nanoha had pouted a bit but accepted without a word of complaint. She then thought of the dominate hair colors in their gene pool. After Precia was able to secure two different viable options she came to Nanoha with her options. One of the results was so distinctive that Nanoha immediately fell in love with her potential children-to-be and had the zygotes implanted.

Now as she pressed her hand to her eight and a half month pregnant stomach she wondered if she really was carrying little demons. The girls were constantly shifting and kicking making her uncomfortable and playing havoc with her bladder when one or the other pressed down on it with maniacal kicking feet. She shifted again on the couch where she once again felt like a beached whale, how had she forgotten how insanely uncomfortable pregnancy could be? This time around seemed doubly worse thanks to the double load and her own advancing years. When Fate came into the room with a plate and glass she couldn't help but smile gratefully at her. Fate had spoiled her rotten the first time around but this time she seemed to be pulling out all the stops and for that she would be eternally grateful even if her hormones could make her crazy.

Fate carefully handed Nanoha her plate, not setting it on her tummy and setting her wife off on a tirade even if that was where she was going to set it herself. Sitting down on the edge of the couch at her wife's feet she carefully lifted them from their elevated position on cushions to settle them on her lap for a gentle massage. Nanoha happily munched on her sandwich and dill pickle humming contentedly for the moment. The babies seemed to sense when Fate was around and normally settled for only occasionally twitching as if they were trying to hear what their blonde mama was saying.

After finishing her snack and washing it down with the glass of milk Fate took the dishes away before returning to rub lotion onto her wife's stomach. She had taken to doing this three times a day now; morning, noon and night. The gentle caress and soft crooning made the twins settle down to the industrious job of further development in their mother's womb. Yawning Nanoha snuggled down further into the couch, no longer caring if it was going to be a complete hassle getting back up, she wanted a nap and Fate was there to hoist her gently back to her feet when the time came.

Two hours later a sharp pain in her lower back awoke her and her eyes flew open, the thought, 'Oh Shit its time!' flew through her mind as she franticly scanned the room for her wife. Not seeing the blonde culprit who helped put her in this position she called out, "Fate-chan!"

The quick steps of her wife calmed her but a fresh stab of pain made that a brief moment. Once the blonde was in sight she said, "Its time, help me up, we need to get to the hospital."

Fate's eyes widened and her stride lengthened, carefully she pulled her wife up from the couch and Nanoha doubled over with a cry as she felt her water break. It seemed the twins had decided now was the time and weren't going to long in their arrival. Fate carefully maneuvered Nanoha to the car, not caring a wit about the mess and carefully but with great speed drove her wife to the hospital.

Two hours later and five broken bones to Fate's left hand (a sacrifice in the name of love) the twins were born and their dark looks made the doctors and nursing staff coo over them. Jet black hair inherited from their Takamachi grandfather and deep plum colored eyes from their Testarossa grandmother made the twins a striking pair. Nanoha looked over the twins and couldn't help laughing a little, the girls looked like their Fate-mama had all those years ago when she first fell in love with her. The demonic role Fate had taken on had been the first step towards them coming together even before they had even met. Fate stared at the pair and was mesmerized, neither Nanoha nor Precia had mentioned what the twins would look like to her; it was to be a surprise. Reaching over to gently stroke the black downy hair of their elder twin daughter and she felt an overwhelming surge of love flood her.

Tears in her eyes she said, "They are so beautiful, thank you Nanoha."

Guiltily Nanoha reached for Fate's bandaged hand and brought it to her mouth for a soft kiss.

"I'm sorry I hurt you Fate-chan, I really didn't mean to but these little monsters gave me such a hard time."

Fate smiled at her wife, "Nano-love, you know I would do anything, suffer anything for you. I think a broken hand is barely a drop in the bucket compared to what you've given to me."

Leaning in she pressed a soft kiss to her wife's lips, cheek and forehead, "I love you so much Nanoha."

The happy moment was disrupted by the soft cough of their elder children. Vivio and Einhart having been called earlier to be told Nanoha had gone into labor had left class and caught the first train back to Uminari from their university town. The young couple now made their way to Nanoha's bed and their newest family members.

Einhart was surprised at how tiny they were, smaller than Sora or Fia had been at birth but that should have been expected as they were a few weeks early and of course twins. Carefully Vivio took one of her new baby sisters in her arms and cooed at her. Einhart felt a rush of heat fill her as she suddenly thought about the day when they had children of their own. Vivio looked up at her wife and saw the small blush and wondered at it.

The young oblivious blonde then asked her mama, "So have you finally decided on names yet or shall we be forced to call them Thing One and Thing Two for the time being?"

Nanoha snorted, "We will likely be calling them that anyway, and I can bet you now they are going to give Fia a run for her money."

Smiling Fate pointed to the baby in Vivio's arms, "That little angel is Ume and this one is Emi."

Then turning her smiling face to her wife she went on, "I think Fia and Sora are going to be very happy with their new baby sisters. They'll finally have someone else to blame for all the trouble they get into."

Nanoha gave her wife a dry look but couldn't hold it, giggling she asked, "How soon will it be before Precia will be able to bring the girls to the hospital?"

Fate looked at her watch then said, "School lets out in an hour or so, we had decided before to spare them the agony of having to wait through your labor so I'd say she's picking them up now. I spoke to her while they were cleaning up the twins. She just needed to hand off her work to an assistant then she'd head over to the school."

Vivio looked at the other twin in her mother's arms and was amazed again at how adorable the tiny bundles were and without thinking she said, "Oh I can't wait to have one of my own, they are so cute."

At this declaration Einhart fainted, leaving their mothers to laugh and Vivio to scamper over to her after handing off her sister to her mom to check on her now comatose wife.

~"~"~"~"~

Five years later

Einhart really wasn't sure how she had found herself in this position but the mind numbing pain of labor did make it difficult to think straight. As her blonde wife hovered nearby holding her hand and wiping her brow she couldn't help thinking the evil little blonde had tricked her somehow. Vivio had spoken of children since the birth of their younger sisters and had always made it seem like she'd be the one to carry if not all at least the first of their children. But here she was splayed open trying to push a watermelon out of a hole the size of a lemon, there would be words and mighty consequences later.

When the evil offspring of her equally evil succubus of a wife was finally delivered she looked down at the tiny bundle and saw she had (as promised) blonde hair. Looking closer at the tiny being she saw the baby had the most peculiar eyes. They were a strange hazel color, an amalgam of burgundy, green, blue and hints of gold. Where on earth Precia Testarossa had found this particular genetic trait or found the genes to somehow splice it would be a mystery. Vivio trembling with excitement crept closer to her wife and leaned over to see the product of their love.

Einhart looked at the blonde and carefully handed the baby to her wife. Vivio cuddled the little bundle to her and looked down in amazement.

Whispering she said, "She's perfect. Oh god Ein, you are amazing."

Einhart snorted and finally understood her mother-in-law's sentiments on conniving blondes, "Oh I know, but don't think I am doing this again. Next one is on you. How you suckered me into this in the first place I'll never know."

Vivio looked at her wife sheepishly, "But love, we both agreed it was time for a baby, it's not my fault work made it impossible for me to be the one to carry her."

'Yes work, how very convenient an excuse,' Einhart thought darkly. Despite them both leaving the entertainment industry after their marriage the occasional offer came to them both which cried out to them. Mostly working as voice talents or small supporting roles the pair had tried to keep their faces off the big or small screen as much as possible. But last year the lead role in the sequel to Lost Logia had come Vivio's way. As the daughter of the original star it was thought the role should go to her first. She had the acting ability, the fighting skills, and most importantly to the studio executives the looks to carry this pivotal role.

The part had reignited people's interest in the Takamachi-Testarossa-Harlaown couple in a big way. It got to be she could have thrown a rock out their window and hit a damn photographer trying to catch a glimpse of the now pregnant Einhart with her media sensation blonde wife. Both had decided it was time to move after the first unapproved photos of their home life leaked into an entertainment gossip rag. Vivio though had made it clear this was a once in a lifetime thing, she would not be stepping back into the spotlight, she was an attorney now for god's sake.

Humming to herself Einhart settled back in her bed and watched as her wife and child began to bond. It was an endearing sight which melted her heart and really it hadn't been all that bad. Well worth the utter enjoy radiating from her wife. God knew she'd do anything to see the blonde smile and that smile on her face was so bright it was likely it could be seen from space. When the baby began making sucking sounds Vivio handed her back to Einhart for her first meal.

When their mothers arrived in mass with their younger siblings the room became a madhouse as everyone wanted to hold the tiny bundle. Fia now nearly of age and a near deity to her follow classmates thanks to her good looks, high intelligence and wicked athletic abilities held her tiny niece and declared, "She is so cute, better than the horrible monsters mama keeps bring home. If I could only find someone as cool as Ein-chan or sweet as Vi-chan I'd like to have one too."

Fate groaned, "Fia, really? I don't know, I just don't know what to do with you child. I blame myself for leaving you with Hayate so often."

Sora who was nearly as popular as her elder sister without the prima donna attitude spoke up, "I'd say have grandma Precia double check her gene scan first, I swear there was mix up in the lab."

Fia stuck her perfect pink tongue at her sister, even her occasional childishness made her look cute; it was a crime against humanity at how easily the girl could wrap people around her pinky. The twins looked up at their elder sisters and matching plum colored eyes rolled in sync.

Ume made her way over to her big sister in bed and crawled up onto it on one side while Emi did the same on the other, not before long Einhart found herself being cuddled with by the twins. She smiled at the dark haired girls and hugged them in tight. They could be a handful at times but it was always with the best intentions, much like Vivio had been as a small child.

Nanoha looking down at her first (gasp!) grandchild asked teasingly, "Well, what is my beautiful granddaughter's name? Or should we just call her Thing Three?"

Vivio laughed a bit at this then looking at her wife she sobered. It had been a hard decision and one they weren't sure was correct but in the end it felt right.

Einhart reached out for the child and held her close for a moment trying to collect her nerves, then looked up into her mom's eyes she said, "Fate Alicia Takamachi-Testarossa-Harlaown."

Vivio piped up to break the almost deafening silence, "We'll be calling her Cia for short."

Fate blinked then laughed, "Oh god that's perfect! Your mother hated that name. She smacked the hell out of Clyde and Chrono every time they tried to call her that when we were kids."

Einhart shook her head, "I never knew that."

Fate smiled, "Yeah, ask Chrono-kun all about it next time you see him, fufufu I bet he still feels the bruises she left on him."

Vivio looked at her mama, "You're not upset with our choice are you?"

Nanoha looked into worried heterochromatic eyes and smiled, "I think it's a perfect name. But the next one has to have at least one name from my side of the family."

Einhart paled, 'Next one?! What the hell mama do you think I'm a baby factory?!'

Vivio gulped, "Of course Cia will need a little sister in a couple of years; in the meantime we'll keep that in mind when thinking about future names."

The End
