14Neptune slowly opened her eyes and then got up as she took a look around the room she was in and quickly recognized it as Noire's room. The CPU breathed a sigh of relief as she plopped back down on to the bed, it had all been some crazy dream just some stupid crazy dream.
Her and Noire having a kid there was no way that was possible it had to have been a dream, right?
A door creaking opening caught Neptune's attention as she turned to it and saw Noire walking in who had a look of relief on her face the second she saw Neptune awake.
"Oh! You're finally up" Noire said relieved as she quickly walked over to her side.
"Yeah…" Neptune trailed off then let out a small laugh and said "Noire you would not believe the crazy dream I had".
"Uhh… Neptune about that-" Noire started but was cut off by Neptune.
"Seriously we had a kid some how, can you believe how crazy that is?" she continued on not giving Noire the chance to talk.
"N-Neptune that wasn't-" Noire was cut off yet again.
"You haven't even heard the craziest part yet-" this time Neptune was one who was cut off by one word and one word only.
"Mama…"
Neptune's eyes went wide as she slowly looked toward the source of the voice and saw the same little girl from her supposed 'dream' at the opposite side of the bed, somehow Neptune hadn't noticed her until now. She started at her for a few moments before slowly meeting Noire's eyes.
"Th-That… wasn't a dream was it?"
"No…"
"We really have a kid"
"Y-Yeah…" Noire said awkwardly looking away and rubbing her arm.
A million thoughts were going through Neptune's head right now and who could blame her. She had a kid, she had kid with Noire. Things for her were definitely going from one to one hundred really fast. First it was Noire kissing her which she was still having conflicting feelings about and now it was her kid that she somehow had with her.
"Oookay… this is a lot to process. So…what do we do now?" Neptune asked hoping to change the tone.
"Uhh… I guess we need to give her a name maybe" Noire said looking down at her.
"Oh yeah, forgot about that" Neptune said now sitting at the edge of the bed with her legs hanging over it "Alright how about-"
"No"
"You didn't even know what I was gonna say" Neptune defended crossing her arms.
"You were gonna suggest Nep Jr. weren't you?" Noire said.
"Nooo… I was gonna suggest Noire Jr. there's difference" Neptune said with a huff.
"We're not gonna name her anything with Jr. in it" Noire stated.
"Fine then…" Neptune said falling back down on the bed and began brainstorming along with Noire who did the same.
However though unbeknownst to them their daughter had started taking an interest in the room looking around everywhere and noticed that the door wasn't properly closed and curiosity took over her as she walked to it and due to it being slightly open to begin with she was able to open it further without making any noise and wandered out.
Neptune covered her face with her hands and groaned in frustration "Why is this so hard"
Noire sat up and said "We'll think of… where'd she go?" her eyes went wide as she looked over every inch of the room and saw no sign of their daughter.
"O-Okay lets just keep our cool maybe she's hiding somewhere" Neptune said getting of the bed then kneeled down "I'll check under here"
"NO! DON'T!" Noire shouted which made Neptune stop right as she was about to look under.
"Sheesh, Noire you gotta new cosplay outfit you don't want me to see" Neptune said getting back up on to her feet.
"Uhh… Y-Yep! Yeah it's something special that I don't want to show you" Noire said with a blush on her face and having a really nervous expression "Y-You go out and check everywhere else I'll be sure to double check here"
"Alright leave it to me!" Neptune said as she ran out leaving Noire in the room alone
She breathed a sigh of relief as Neptune ran out of the room. Noire went down on her knees to go under the bed to retrieve the special something she kept under there which nearly gave her a heart attack when Neptune almost discovered it.
What Noire pulled out was a Purple Heart body pillow and upon seeing it it made her blush an even deeper shade of red. She was lucky Neptune didn't find it or she would've died of embarrassment and it also most likely would've made things way worse between them. Even if they were on decent terms now.
"I definitely need to find a better hiding place for this"
After searching nearly every nook and cranny they could find the two eventually met outside after their exhaustive search.
"Noire we looked everywhere she isn't here" Neptune said.
"No… she must've wandered off into Lastation. This isn't good" Norie said with worry "Neptune we have to find her quickly"
"Well let's stop standing around talking like we're soldiers in box canyon and look for her" Neptune told her transforming into Purple Heart and was about to fly off when Noire grabbed her by the ankle.
"Hold up we can't transform for this" she told her and Neptune went back on the ground and into her human form.
"What? Why not this'll make it much quicker we can find her easily if we fly" Neptune argued.
"Yeah but it'll also raise suspicion. You really think people won't question why Purple Heart and Black Heart are flying all over Lastation that alone will make things complicated. We have to go on foot" Noire told her assertively.
"But it's gonna make it so much longer" Neptune complained.
"Well it's better then making this a bigger deal then it already is. We can't take any risks now lets go and find her we're wasting enough time as it is" Noire told her.
"Alright, alright" Neptune said as the two ran ahead to began their search.
Of course when they got to Lastation they were at a lost, mainly due to the fact that there were many streets their daughter could've went down.
"Uhh… any idea where she could've ran off to?" Neptune asked unsure of which way to go.
"I guess we need to split up from here" Noire told her and continued on "I'll go this way you go that way if you find her get back to my home as fast as you can" she told her as she went down her path.
"Hold up. I just thought of an amazing name-" Neptune was about to say only to realize Noire already took off "Alright… guess it'll have to wait" she said taking off in the opposite direction.
Planeptune's CPU continued to walk through the streets of Lastation all the while she kept constant look out for her child. That was something she still had a hard time believing despite seeing her with her own two eyes. It was just something that didn't seem possible.
"Come on where could she be" Neptune muttered under her breath looking everywhere she could.
She continued to look everywhere she could find even going into some stores and not seeing her anywhere in sight. That of course made her really frustrated since she should easily stick out from everyone else. Though unfortunately for Neptune she encountered two more problems.
"Hi, Nep-Nep!" Compa called out.
Neptune turned around and saw her two friends IF and Compa approaching her.
"Oh… hey guys" Neptune said giving them a nervous wave.
"Are you okay? You look worried" IF pointed out putting a hand on her hip.
"Whaaaat… nah, you're imagining things I'm totally fine… totally" Neptune said in the most unconvincing tone.
"You really need acting lessons" IF told her.
"Nep-Nep if something's bothering you, you can tell us. We're always happy to help" Compa replied with a warm smile.
"Uhh… it's more complicated then that Compa I don't think you'll-" Neptune cut off her own sentence and went wide eyed when she noticed something or rather someone.
And that someone was her daughter. She had her back turned to her and was looking around not noticing her mother.
Compa and IF noticed her expression and turned around to see what she was looking at, though right in the nick of time her daughter turned a corner out of their sight.
"Did you see something Neptune?" IF asked.
"Y-Yep, yeah somebody giving out acting lessons gonna go catch him see ya later bye" Neptune quickly said running off in between them.
"Hmm… Compa come with me" IF told her friend as she started to walk away.
"Where are we going Iffy?" Compa asked her as she followed her lead.
"We're gonna get to the bottom of this"
Meanwhile in a different area the CPU of Lastation walked the streets of her nation as she kept a constant eye out for her daughter and was growing more frustrated and worried by the minute from not seeing her in sight.
Noire made even made sure to check inside the various shops and unfortunately for her she didn't find her at all, although she did find some good materials for her cosplay outfits. She of course didn't buy them right then and there given the current situation at hand.
After searching for what felt like hours Noire finally decided to call it quits though that wasn't because she had given up on finding her completely just figuring that Neptune may have already found her and taken her back to her home.
'Please Neptune I hope you found her' she thought to herself as she walked back.
Neptune had to have found her. Right? She had to. While Neptune was a bit of carefree dork most of the time she came through when the time came for it.
Noire smiled as her head filled with memories of their various times spent together.
The CPU of Lastation steeled her resolve. She had faith in Neptune why should she lose it now she knew she couldn't.
When Noire made it back home she couldn't help smile at the sight that greeted her when she arrived back at the outside of her home she saw Neptune along with their daughter in tow. She of course ran up to the both of them.
"Neptune you found her" Noire said with relief in her voice.
"Yeah it was kinda hard to get her here without drawing too much attention. But I managed… I hope anyway" Neptune said clearly tired then turned to her daughter "Vita, don't do that again" she told her.
"Vita?" Noire asked her.
"Yeah it's the name I came up with for her what'd you think?" Neptune asked.
"Vita… hmm… it's not bad actually. Alright looks like Vita is your name" Noire said looking down at her daughter who still had a neutral expression on her face "Hey Neptune don't you think it's weird how she hasn't said anything else yet?" she asked her.
"Yeah… it's kinda weird actually. Can we by any chance have this conversation inside. Preferably with pudding" Neptune said.
"Yeah it's been a tiring day I think we both deserve some rest" Noire said walking inside along with Neptune and Vita in tow.
However when the two got back inside and back to Noire's room they were greeted with a very surprising sight.
What was it you may ask. Inside her room was IF, Compa, Nepgear and Uni.
"Uhh… hey guys" Neptune said slowly shuffling in front of Vita in vain attempt to block her from view though the damage had already been done.
"W-We can explain" Noire nervously said.
"Noire who is that?" Uni asked.
Noire sighed in defeat "This would be… me and Neptune's daughter" she said with a blush on her face.
Everyone in the room had different reaction upon hearing that information. IF had an expression of 'am I seeing this right' while looking at her. Both Nepgear and Uni had a look of total shock on their faces as they tried to process what they just heard.
Meanwhile there was Compa who probably had the most normal reaction of them all "Aww she's so adorable" she cooed bending down to eye level with her.
"You two… had a daughter" IF asked incredulous.
"Y-Yeah…" Neptune said rubbing the back of her head.
"What's her name" Compa asked oblivious to the others reactions
"O-Oh… it's uhh Vita" Noire told her.
"Aww that's a cute name. Well nice to meet you Vita, I'm Compa" the nurse introduced though Vita had no reaction to it at all still maintaining her neutral expression.
"Is she shy?" Compa asked them.
"We actually don't know that ourselves" Noire told them.
"I think we should maybe call Histoire" Nepgear said.
"Yeah maybe Histy can shed some light on this" Neptune said confidently.
Everybody was thankful that Histoire was able to get to Lastation quickly though her reaction was different from everybody else's. She wasn't shocked or anything like that. In fact the first thing she did when she saw Vita was stare at her with intrigue.
Of course when Histoire just sat that starting at Vita it of course created uncomfortable silence.
"Uhh… Histy wanna fill us in on what your doing?" Neptune asked.
"I can't believe this I didn't think it was possible" Histoire finally spoke.
"Wait hold up you've heard of this before" Uni said.
"Yes I have but only scarcely I'll need to do my research in order shed more light on this" the oracle concluded.
"How long will that take?" Nepgear asked.
"Maybe a few days at the most" Histoire informed them.
"Can you tell us why she's barely said anything or barley made any other expressions" Noire asked.
"I believe something may have stalled that though I'm not sure. Her personality and other emotions should develop in a day or two. That's my best estimate anyway" Histoire said.
"Well I think I speak from everyone when I say it's best we keep her out of the public eye at least for now" IF said.
"Yes IF's right there's no telling how people would react if they found out about two CPU's from different nations having a child together" Histoire added in.
"Yeah we'll definitely keep that in mind but after today I definitely want to rest" Neptune said with a yawn.
Everybody left the room leaving just Noire and Neptune alone along with Vita of course.
"So… guess I'll see ya tomorrow maybe?" Neptune said.
"Yeah I hope Histoire can figure this out" Noire said with uncertainty
"Don't worry Histy's smart she'll figure it out" Neptune assured "Well I'm off see ya" she said and was about to leave she felt a pair of small arms wrapped around her waist.
She looked down and saw Vita hugging her while looking up to meet her eyes "Uhh… hey you can let go ya know" Neptune trying to get out of Vita's grip though as she tried her grip only tightened.
"I guess she doesn't want you to leave" Noire observed.
"Well I kinda have to so maybe… let… go" Neptune said trying to get Vita off of her but everything she did Vita would only latch onto her waist again. After a few tries Neptune eventually gave in.
"Alright looks like I'm staying… can we… still have that pudding by any chance" Neptune asked which Noire giggle.
"I'll get something don't worry" Noire told her.
While they were chatting like they were old friends again there was still a slight bit of tension between them. Noire, as well as Neptune, could only hope Histoire would shed more light and the situation at hand.
When night eventually came, after some pudding of course, Neptune was about to go off into a completely different room only for Vita to latch onto her waist again and not let go.
This of course created tension in the room. While the two were on decent terms all the awkwardness seemed to come back. They of course were too wrapped up in the current day's events to even care about it.
"Uhh… it's… no big deal it'll be like a sleepover" Noire awkwardly said blushing.
"Y-Yeah… like a sleepover" Neptune said along with a matching blush.
The two eventually got into the bed with Vita being in the middle and Neptune and Noire on of course opposite sides facing away from each other.
Both of them hoping that Histoire would be able to shed more light on this entire situation.
