“I wasn’t sure what things that you liked to eat, so I got you a little bit of everything” Nino announced as he went to join Satoshi and the children the tray heavy in his hands. The children looked so genuinely shocked and happy that Nino wanted to throw his arms around them all and hug them all so that he could press kisses to each of their temples and he did so happily. He laughed happily when he heard their gasps of happy surprise “You are all so cute. Come on! Don’t be shy eat up”

“Thank-you for the meal!” Junta cried happily his hands diving into the pile of food and Nino couldn’t resist stroking his fingers through the hair marvelling at how soft and silky it was against his fingertips. The girls were a little more reserved eyeing the food with interest but clearly holding themselves back.

“It’s okay, you can eat” Nino encouraged gently playing around with the pretty bow in Maki’s hair quickly apologising when it instantly fell apart in his hands. “Sorry, I’ll fix it for you. My friend Masaki-chan he had really long hair once and he made me tie it up all the time” He said quickly brushing the hair with his fingers making sure to gently tease out any of knots that he might find. Once he was done he went about putting it in the fancy French braid that Masaki had insisted they all learn in case one day they had a daughter. It started from her left ear and travelled over her head down over the right. He finished it up with the pretty pink bow. “I wish I flowers but I can do that next time…” He stopped speaking when tiny arms wrapped around his waist and a face was pressed into his stomach “Gina-chan? Are you okay?”

“You are like papa” Gina whispered rubbing her face against him and Nino felt the tell-tale trickle of tears soaking into his shirt. Giving a smile he knelt and faced her gently his hands holding onto her shoulders very gently.

“I met your papa once, when I was very young, your age I think. He was a very nice man, I am proud that you his daughter thinks that I’m like him” He breathed his arms wrapping around her tightly as he pressed his lips to her cheek tasting the bitterness of her tears. “It’s okay, come here”

“Canna I stay with you?” She whispered and everything in his heart was telling him to say yes but he knew that he couldn’t make that promise. He looked at Satoshi who was trying to keep the other two children occupied. Their eyes locked and he saw the same turmoil he was feeling inside those deep brown chocolate eyes. His lips twitched into a tiny sad smile that was almost as heart breaking as the feeling of the girl crying against him.

“Gina, I’m sorry, but you…”

“I can’t canna? I know…I can’t but I wish I could” She breathed knowing the answer even before Satoshi could finish and Nino immediately responded with a quick and meaningful;

“I wish you could. I really do wish that you could and one day maybe we will. It might take a long time but I promise that I will do what I can for you. For now, though, I want you to eat this and have a drink and then we can play on some more games” He took out some tissues from his pocket and wiped her eyes before lightly bopping her on the nose. Gina gave a smile that was very watery but filled with so much hope that it broke his heart for the umpteenth time that day. “Come on”
