  Naomi's POV:

A million thoughts were racing through my head along with the more persistent alarm that was ringing and shouting

  'WARNING, WARNING DANGER DANGER DANGER! RUN!!!!'

MC smiled at me, as if I was stupid enough to just become his best friend because he claimed to know my moms...did he think I was five.... better yet did he think I was stupid? I took a long exaggerated breath and squared my shoulders and studied his face.

   "If you're my Mama's oldest friend why hasn't she ever mentioned you before?" I challenged stubbornly.

I was really hoping against all hope that he wasn't a creepy stalker who
A.) Liked my mom's books and was a super obsessed fan
B.) One of my Mama's crazy patients
C.) An ex who was obsessed with either of my moms.

  'Who knows maybe he really is an old friend.'

'Then how did he know exactly where my family was? '
 
  'Stop it Naomi why are you always so cynical?'

   "Ha, you're so much like Monika's sister Lila it's almost scary." He chuckled and I relaxed somewhat because... Okay if he knew my aunt Lila and her attributes and characteristics then surely he wasn't lying right?

  "I get that a lot." I whisper with a slight smile and he smirks.
   "I mean it makes sense seeing as she  donated her egg to your moms because they were having difficulties getting pregnant,  so it doesn't really surprise me." He smirked and I froze, all the blood drained from my body.
  "What?" I whimper and he looks somewhat remorseful but there's also a glint of amusement in his deep golden eyes.

   "Oh ... Was that a secret? I mean just because all of your siblings are a part of your parents some way and you aren't doesn't mean you're any less theirs ... Ha what a load am I right?" He chuckled shaking his head and my tears were freezing to my face and I felt like disappearing forever.

A/N: if you know who these next people are, you're the absolute best but if not I understand 🤗 then you can just pretend that they're random good Samaritans 😏😉

   "N-no I... I didn't know that..." I whimpered reaching a breaking point as I fell to my knees, my legs were numb, my head hurt. I wanted my moms but MC was right....they weren't mine. But DNA doesn't make them my parents... Love does... Plus my siblings and I shared a sperm donor... But did my moms even still love me? I told my mama I hated her! I hadn't realized I was sobbing hard until a loud voice called.

  "Hey what are you doing?" A tall woman with a pixie hair cut and a thick coat fell to the ground next to me and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Are you alright?" She whispered softly and I sniffed looking up at the kind woman with the soft eyes and shook my head.
   "I j-jus-s-st w-want my...my moms." I hiccuped as another woman raced over, out of breath and panting.

   "God (pant pant) Naomi you're sexy but I don't like having to (pant pant) chase your ..(pant pant) ass all over the place!" The smaller girl complained, she had curled hair, parted into two curls and brown eyes she looked irritated at MC and the older Naomi looked at me gently.

  "Seiko, this little girl was crying.." she whispered softly looking at MC darkly, as she looked at Seiko with puppy dog eyes, as if pleading for her to do something. Instantly Seiko's playful smile turned serious.
   "what's your name honey? How'd you get here?" She asked softly and I sniffed. It felt stupid to say my name but I mean I really wanted to go home and they seemed nice.

  "M-my name's N-" MC cut me off mid whisper and I felt so stupid and scared and I need to learn how to think before I do things.

  "She's fine, just a touch of the dramatics." MC snarked sitting all laid back against the bench with one leg crossing over the other.

   "She wasn't talking to you!" Naomi snapped and Seiko looked at her with admiration and I sniffed again, shivering sharply. Naomi looked down at me and rubbed my arm gently, "go ahead." She encouraged.

  "M-my name's Naomi Tanashi, my mom is named mon-nik-ka.... And my ...my mama.. say...o.rrr..i... I ran away from home! I scared...I just want my moms!" I was starting to get hysterical again and Seiko took my hands, looking into my eyes.
   "Hey hey don't cry little Naomi, everything is going to be okay, can I have your mom's number?" I nodded hiccuping as I tried to calm down.

"5-5-5..." As I finished listing off my Mama's number Naomi helped me back onto the bench and shrugged off her coat draping it over my shoulders.
  "I'm going to call your mama okay? Don't worry my Naomi will take care of you." With a playful wink Seiko hit the call button and started off to make the phone call.

  "Listen kid, you need anything let me know. I may be a douchebag but at least I'm honest." MC stood dropping a business card into my lap as he started away as if he hadn't just shattered my world.

Natsuki's POV:

  "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! DAMN IT!" Monika slammed her hands down on the steering wheel making both Yuri and myself jump. She had pulled her car over to the side of the road in defeat and was super pissed as the snow came down in buckets.
  "Monika don't beat yourself up, we'll find her." Yuri reassured her gently and Monika looked so sad and heartbroken.

  "This is all my fault, one of these days my luck is going to run out, she's my daughter and I just....I yelled at her....now she's God knows where, in hardly any clothing and it's storming like hell!" She was reaching the brink of a mental breakdown and I knew we had to do something.

   "Everyone makes mistakes Monika, I know I have, I've ruined relationships and stomped on others feelings and you just have to hope that that person loves you enough to accept your apology and is willing to give you another chance." Yuri is looking at her hands as she whispers this and I frown. Did this have a double meaning? I shrugged it off. She was just talking about Naomi.... That's all that was...

   "Monika, Yuri's right, Naomi loves you like hell, so stop crying and start driving, you want to stay lucky you gotta work for it!" I gave her that tough love that I was excellent at and she sniffed rubbing her eyes with her gloved hands.
 
  "Natsuki." Yuri warned and I turned to look at her expecting anger instead I saw pain. "It's not always...that easy."  She looked away from me and I frowned. I reached out, wanting to touch her, get answers. Monika's phone went off at that moment.
   "Sayori what's wrong?!" Monika asked answering instantly and I let my hand drop as I straightened looking forward once more. "Slow down beautiful...she's alive..oh thank God...of course I'll go get her...love them too... we'll be back sooner than soon... promise... I love you....I will...okay...okay...I know...she doesn't...I will love...I will...okay bye.." she turned off her phone and shot me a typical Monika smile.

   "Care to tell us what's going on?" I asked as she restarted her car and pulled away from the curb.
   "She's safe...at a hotel lobby with her two saviors who just called Sayori."

  "What are you waiting for? DRIVE Monika DRIVE!"
