AN: A little later than what I planned however I had some automotive electrical gremlins to chase up. My car didn't like being sat with the Covid lockdown, anyhow I won't bore you with details here's the chapter.

Third POV

Whilst the others were waiting Coco went upstairs and into the master bedroom to see her daughter sprawled out limbs akimbo

*Sigh* "What am I to do with you Aloy chan?" (Coco)

Shaking her head gently with a smile on her face she leans over the crib and gently wraps Aloy back in her blanket, before turning around and walking down stairs gently so as not to disturb the babies nap. Just before she reaches the door she hears Nonos' murmurs with Iemetsu about something to do with the snow guardian, deciding that it's a good thing that she's holding her daughter so she can't flip out she opens the door and walks in sitting down next to Nana.

"Look Nana chan here's my little darling Aloyna chan" (Coco)

"Ara ara how cute she's the spitting image of you Coco chan" (Nana)

The two discuss as Coco peels back the blanket to fully reveal Aloys head, as she does this the two mean get up and walk to the sides of two women to get a better look at the little girl. Iemetsu smirks beside Nana before opening his mouth

"Oh dear if she does turn out anything like Coco, Ryouma is going to end up as doting father of the century" (Iemetsu)

At this Nana playfully slaps him with a playful yet stern "Dear" causing Iemetsu to shudder, straighten up and salute, which in turn causes the two women to giggle and Nono to smile at the couples antics.

"Really Iemetsu you are no better, how many messages have I had in a week?" (Nono)

*sweat drop* "A couple maybe?" (Averting eyes Iemetsu)

"Try six in five days and only one of them was about Nana going into labour (Coco smirks at this), I'm pretty sure Lal is going to shoot you when you get back Iemetsu (EHH)." (Nono)

Nono kneels in front of Coco and Aloy looking to the world like a kind old man looking at his grandchild; however Coco can sense that Nono is looking for something perhaps this snow thing? Thinking this her expression tightens staring intently at Nono who's gazing at sleeping child, looking for signs of the snow flame. As if feeling everybody's stare alloy stirs babbling a little as she does before opening here eyes giving up at her mother in a sleepy smile, before drifting her gaze over to Nono who gasps slightly causing Coco to harden her gaze at the old man. Smiling at the baby before standing back up and walking over to the other sofa Nono shakily sits down, gazes at his hands slightly before straightening up and looking at the other three with a grim expression.

"What is it Nono? Could she be?" (Serious Iemetsu)

"Could she be what? You two know I'm retired and I won't stand for her getting dragged in, especially without her consent" (Coco)

Nono nods toward Iemetsu still grim who lets out a shaky breath before turning to Coco with a still grim expression

"She has what I've both hoped and feared to see Coco, she is indeed a snow flame bearer which..." *deep breath* "Which is indeed something we haven't seen since Primo's time and a cause for celebration, however that flame is masking another which if it decides to manifest could mean her destiny could alter significantly. My intuition isn't anywhere near Primo's level but it's likely she could become involved with the seven" (Nono)

MC POV

'Hmm what's happening mama? Oh there she is, hello mama' *smile*. I turn my head sensing someone close and staring at me, hmm? Who's the old fart? As I stare into his eyes his eyes widen before giving me a small smile and getting up to walk over to the other sofa and sitting down, at this point I lose Interest and look over at mama just as the old grey matter kicks in and I realize who the old man is and start cursing to every deity I can think of. At this point I miss the initial exchange close my eyes and listen to the old man's confirmation that I am indeed the rumoured snow guardian at witch my 'oh shit' meter stars to climb, causing me to nearly miss his next words...... OH SHIT! He didn't just say what I thought he did? No, no, no, NO!
