The Heiress to Time

by Aceofspades2255

5 Years after the defeat of Alvarez and Zeref, Fairy Tail hasn't changed much but the world has. Acnologia is still on the loose and no one knows where he is or when hell strike next. I'm new to this, please be kind, please forgive the O.O.C characters, still getting used to writing with someone else's characters.

1. Chapter 1

Chapter 1: When she was revealed.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or any of the characters other than O.C. All credit for Fairy Tail Belongs to Hiro.

On a cold evening in the winter we find ourselves at the famous Fairy Tail Guild Hall five years since the War with Alvarez. Now Master Laxus Dreyar is currently in his office filling out paperwork that the magic council was very insistent on having as soon as possible. The guild was filled with loud singing, jaunty songs, drinking and merriment. Though the guild lost Master Makarov, they hadn't lost their overall jovial attitude toward life and magic.

Zeref was defeated to the point where he could be encased in a Lacrima much like Master Mavis was and was returned to after the war. Now it was her decision to return to the lacrima because she was still afflicted with the curse of contradiction so the more she loved the more she would lose. The Lacrima somehow contained the curse for both her and Zeref. Much later everyone learned that Zeref wasn't that bad after all but was driven to such extremes by the curse. We must return to the guild hall before this adventure truly can start.

We rejoin the fairy tail guild as a massive winter thunderstorm rolls through Magnolia. All of a sudden the Massive Double doors explode inward. Laxus was out of his office and at the second story railing in seconds of feeling the rumble of the doors being blown in. Everybody knew who used to enter the guild like that, Natsu. But much to their surprise it wasn't him. In fact they weren't exactly sure who had knocked the doors in because the figure was in a cloak that covered their entire body leaving nothing visible.

"Natsu is that you" Someone randomly asked from the crowd that was in the main area of the guild.

The figure shook their head as a sign of no but instead vanished. Everyone was confused to say the least. Except for Laxus who could feel the magical energy in his office. It was very faint but he remembered it from the war. "Why is she here? What could she possibly want with us? She said she'd never bother us again!" Laxus thought in a rather agitated tone.

"Somebody close the damn doors the last thing we need is water damage in the guild!" he barked at the crowd as they rushed to close the giant doors.

As Laxus entered his office he heard a noise that he honestly didn't think he'd hear from the woman. He raised his eyes to see a bright pink haired little girl roughly 3 years old in her mother's arms.

"Mommy is this the place daddy goes every day?" The little girl asked as she was bounced up and down by her mother.

"Yes, Dalia it is and here is your uncle Laxus. Say hello honey." The woman cooed at her daughter.

"Hi uncle Lax…Laxes….Uncle Lax!" the girl tried hard to pronounce Laxus but failed even though to Laxus it was absolutely adorable.

"Why hello there Dalia it's nice to meet you!" Laxus chimed as to not make the girl feel bad. But he was wondering how any of this came to be. How had he not noticed Natsu acting differently? How had he not seen the change in his mission habits? It had been over 3 years that Natsu had been a father and he didn't notice. All of a sudden he was knocked out of his thinking by a smooth and calm voice.

"You and Gildarts might want to make your way to Natsu's house he will be needing you two to calm him down." she said as calmly as possible but with a hint of despair in her voice. Laxus gave her a perplexed look and then his eyes began to widen. He now understood what the woman was implying in a hushed tone as to not upset her daughter.

"When we get back you are explaining everything. But for now I need to leave. I'll have Mira get you two some food but for now head to the infirmary I want Wendy to make sure she's alright. If what I'm thinking happened really did happen then I want to be certain she is perfectly health or at least healed by the time Natsu gets here." Laxus said with a bit of compassion in his voice that startled the woman and clearly she did not expect to hear it.

Laxus shot the door open clearly commanding silence in the guild " Mira I want you and Wendy to escort our guest into the Infirmary, get her whatever she needs and make sure they are both ok." Right then both Wendy and Mira shot up from their respective seats and up the stairs toward Laxus and the hooded woman. "Gildarts you are coming with me to Natsu's house! We have a bit of trouble! Everyone else! Unless I personally let someone pass, you are to prevent ANYONE but Natsu from getting to that infirmary. I highly doubt anyone would be dumb enough to outright attack the guild but we have met some pretty stupid people in the past!"

As both Laxus and Gildarts barrel down the path to Natsu's house they smell the scent of fire and blood. They round a bend in the path and find a scene of pure carnage. Bodies and body parts strewn about the small clearing, blood, sinew and gore littered the small cottage. The bodies of at least 35 dark mages were thrown about. Gildarts immediately started looking for Natsu amongst the dead, but Laxus grabbed his shoulder and pulled him up. "Do you really expect our Natsu to be among the dead? Or hasn't that little bastard proven by now that when he's fighting for those he loves that he is a fucking monster that doesn't know how to stay the fuck down? Because I know he's not dead you should too!" Laxus pretty much shouted at the end.

All of a sudden they heard screams behind the small house and a column of flames erupted with a deafening Roar that would put a dragon to shame. Right as Laxus and Gildarts rounded the corner to the back yard of the house they saw a figure cloaked in flames approaching a man on the ground. "Fuck….fuck…..fuck…Please don't kill me! I didn't want to do this! I told them it was a bad idea! They wouldn't listen! I swear I didn't cast any spells toward you or the lady that ran! I swear! I did…"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP! I DIDN'T ASK THAT! I ASKED WHO WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO MESS WITH A DRAGONS MATE AND HATCHLING!? 2. WHO ELSE KNOWS OF THEM!?IF I DON'T GET AN ANSWER IN A FEW SENCONDS YOULL WISH I HAD KILLED YOU!" The figure in front of the man roared as he descended on the man.

" I swear I don't everything all I know is the master told us that we were being used for to eliminate an enemy to the guild and then he told us to meet the other guilds for a joint assassination! He never gave a target until it was too late! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" the man begged as he was literally facing the end.

"NATSU they are ok! We need you to calm down man! Let this guy live! We need him to get to the ones who attacked!" Laxus shouted as the mass of fire slowly got closer to the man on the ground. As Laxus said that the mass of fire turned to reveal Natsu. But he looked very different. His feet looked like the feet of a dragon, red scales ascended his legs fading just past his knees, his pants were shredded revealing his lower thighs, he had no shirt on showing his very defined torso that had the same red scales covering his shoulders going the length of his arms to his hands which now had claws at the end of his fingers instead of fingernails. His chest had cuts and bruises all over it along with the many scars he'd accumulated over the years. His head had two golden horns protruding from the side of them that pointed forward and were about a foot and a half long. He had red scales that surrounded his eyes and his teeth had become razor sharp looking, along with the onyx eyes turning very much draconic in nature and golden.

Quickly Gildarts sprang into action tackling Natsu as Laxus noticed the bloodlust and anger in his friend's eyes. Gildarts and Natsu struggled on the ground as Laxus knocked out the dark mage and went to assist Gildarts. "Come back to me boy! I know you are in there! We are here now! Everything is gonna be okay!" Gildarts was shouting as he rolled on the ground with Natsu as he was chomping and biting at Gildarts.

Laxus decided that enough was enough and he let the lightning fly LIGHTNING DRAGONS HEAVENWARD HALBERD Laxus knew that Gildarts and Natsu could take it but he was still taking a risk. His body was still recovering from the damage it had sustained against Tartaros. Natsu and Gildarts both felt the attack and damn did it hurt. Natsu after hours of fighting in the rain was now nearly out of energy to maintain his form and stay conscious. He collapsed in Gildarts arms returning to his normal appearance. Gildarts picked him up and went toward Laxus.

"Fuck did you really have to strain yourself that much! I can carry all of you back but it'll take a while!" Gildarts said as he got to a now kneeling Laxus.

Meanwhile at Fairy Tail

Mira entered the Infirmary to find the cloaked woman in a chair and, much to her surprise, a 3 year old girl on one of the beds already asleep. Wendy immediately ran to the child smelling something familiar with the child. "Is she Natsu's?" Wendy asked out of curiosity and care.

The cloaked woman flinched at the sound of her voice and it didn't go unnoticed by the pair that had just entered. The cloaked woman nodded without saying anything. "What's her name?" Mira asked partly out of curiosity but also wanting to hear if she could place the woman's voice.

"Her name is Dalia." The cloaked woman responded as calmly as she could. She didn't like being in the Guild and it was very apparent that they made her very uncomfortable.

Both Mira and Wendy couldn't place the voice but they had heard it before. They were curious as to whom the woman was but didn't want to make her feel any more uncomfortable then they already did. Wendy was inspecting the sleeping child making sure that she was ok and any scrapes were healed. She knew what kind of reaction Natsu would have if his daughter was hurt. Mira quickly went to grab a pitcher of water and some bread because she wanted to be with them when Natsu returned so she could learn who had wooed the dense dragon slayer. After about one and a half hours later they started to hear noise in the guild hall. The cloaked woman immediately brandished two daggers from what looked like thin air. Thus perceiving whoever was making the noise outside to be an enemy. One should never back a mother bear into a corner unless they are ready to risk it all for a chance at the cub. But luckily this was not the case.

Suddenly Gildarts burst through the door with an unconscious Natsu and Laxus under each arm and a third man on his back with his wrists bound that was almost immediately gutted by the cloaked woman. If it hadn't been for a demon hand catching the woman in the cloak as she screamed toward the heavily laden Gildarts she would have eviscerated the poor man on the spot. The sudden jolt from being stopped from a full sprint had an effect on the woman. The cloak shifted forward then back knocking the hood from the woman's head. And much who was revealed shocked both Wendy and Mira.

Dimaria Yesta.

The cynical, arrogant, and partially psychotic member of the spriggan 12. Mira and Wendy couldn't speak they could only think back to the war and remember the damage this woman caused. It immediately made Mira seethe with absolute rage. Her friend had been tricked by this witch and now they had a child. How could he have been that stupid? Her next move depended on Dimaria's next move. And it wasn't one that she expected. Dimaria immediately grabbed Natsu from Gildarts arm and she brought his unconscious form into a hug while a tear shed from her eye. They soon collapsed to the ground in the middle of the infirmary. From Gildarts other side they hear a weak "Mira get out of here I'll explain later. Wendy I could use some help please." From Laxus as he wheezed the words out.

When Laxus was finally on a bed, the other man was locked to a bed and Dimaria had gotten Natsu to a bed the little Bluenette spoke. "Master what's going on? Why is Natsu so badly hurt? And why is SHE here?" Looking at Dimaria who hadn't put the hood back on but was shrinking into the chair she was in. This action was very unlike the Dimaria that Wendy had met and fought against. It confused her greatly that.

Before Laxus could respond Dimaria started to speak "This is why I told Natsu I didn't want to be brought to Fairy Tail but we were attacked and he wanted us to run. We wandered through the forest from the back of the house because the dark mages were in the front and Natsu had taken off to give us time to escape. We didn't have anywhere else to go…" her voice trailed off as if she was about to start crying.

Laxus quickly intervened "Wendy! She is the mate of your big brother! You should be showing her more respect. As for why they are here Natsu's house was attacked by dark mages. We saw quite a few bodies on the way down there and I'll tell you one thing papa dragon over there really did a number this ….guy is the only survivor we could find. And it took a good bit of effort to keep him this way. I'd appreciate it if you treated her as a guest and if that isn't the only reason it's because that little girl right there is your niece." Laxus finished and lay back down on the bed exhausted from the amount of magic he had expended and from the stress of the day.

As soon as Wendy was done healing them she went over to Dimaria and apologized for her rudeness, then promptly turned and left the room not waiting for a response. Laxus left as soon as he was sure that Natsu and Dimaria would be okay in the infirmary. Gildarts left after putting everyone down but he was going to make sure his granddaughter was ok. He was in a chair outside the infirmary so he would be able to help if needed.

At about 4 in the morning Natsu woke to find Dimaria on his bed with him and Dalia on a bed that was pushed over to his until they were touching. It was a wonderful site that Gildarts had seen as he poked his head into the infirmary every hour or so to make sure everyone was alright. Natsu carefully picked his sleeping daughter up and placed her in between him and Dimaria. Making sure that his little dragon was perfectly safe before falling back into a void like sleep.

A few hours later.

The entire guild was abuzz with the devastation that happened at Natsu's house the day before. Laxus and Gildarts explained to the guild that dark mages attacked and that Natsu was ok but that he would be making an announcement later that day. Mira and Wendy were sitting with anxious knowing looks on their faces.

"What are you two so anxious about?" Lucy chided at the two.

"Just wait you'll see in a minute." Wendy snapped back at her ending any thought she had of asking again.

Inside the infirmary.

"Morning Mari "Natsu whispered so he didn't wake his daughter.

"Daddy! You didn't tuck me in last night!" Dalia pouted as her mother slowly awoke.

"Can I make that up to you tonight by reading you a bedtime story?" Natsu asked the pouting child only to have an emphatic "YES! THANK YOU DADDY!" from the delighted child.

"Natsu are you sure that they will accept me? I mean I almost brutally murdered multiple of them and their friends…..I mean one lost their magic for good. How am I supposed to face them when they'll just want revenge? I'm scared." Dimaria showing a rare moment of weakness that honestly made Natsu concerned. He'd only seen her like this once in the past 5 years and it was right after the fall of Emperor Spriggan. All that he could do was bring her into a hug to try and calm her. She was very apprehensive of the entire situation but she had faith in Natsu that nothing bad would happen to her.

"Ok are you guys ready?" Laxus inquired seeing the nervous face she was making. At this point it made Laxus uncomfortable to see the strong woman in such a nervous and vulnerable state.

They walked out on the balcony in the guild and Natsu looked out to see all of his friends looking at him very curiously. "Well yesterday, as you can tell, stuff happened …" "NO SHIT!" Came a voice from the crowd. "HEY watch you language! As I was saying a large number of Dark mages attacked us at my house. …" "WHO THE FUCK IS THAT?!" came another voice from the crowd. A lightning bolt found its way down to the person the interrupted. " Thank you Laxus, as I was saying we were attacked at my house yesterday. I was lucky not to lose them." Pointing at the woman in the cloak who then opened the cloak to reveal a pink haired little girl.

"WHAT?" The crowd roared as they realized that the woman had to be the mother ant they had somehow missed any hint of their friend acting differently.

As his guild reacted the little girl threw her head into her mother's chest and tried to hide from the people. "Who did you fuck?" someone cried out and as they finished the sentence another lightning bolt hit the crowd. "Just tear it off like a bandage you idiot." Laxus said as he got down zapping the crowd.

The woman used her free arm to reach up to the hood of her cloak and slide it down. And they heard gasps.

"WHY?!" cried a small blond from across the guild. Lucy was on the verge of tears. "Why? Answer that Natsu! Why you yourself almost beat her to death and she damn near tortured me to death, forced Chelia to give up her magic, she beat the closest thing you have to a sister and tried to kill all of us. Why?" Lucy didn't want to admit it to the guild but she loved the fire Dragon slayer, and she was hurt that he didn't feel the same after everything that had happened.

Just as Lucy had finished her piece the rest of the guild erupted in Insults, protests and anger. It was very clear to Natsu and Dimaria that she wasn't liked let alone wanted at the guild. This crushed Natsu. He had always seen his guild as a tolerant place.

Dimaria had enough of the abuse and her more assertive personality started to show. "ENOUGH! Everything that happens in a war is a matter of perspective! In my view you stole something that belonged to the Emperor, you corrupted my best friend causing her to betray everyone she cared for and actually killed 6 of us. One of them being Natsu's Nephew! He forgave you without a second thought. You killed the only father figure I've ever had! As far as the damage I myself did I will atone for that but I didn't kill any of you! While I'll never see August or get advice from him again! So before you judge me look at yourselves!" Dimaria shouted as she burst into tears. Instantly she was brought into an embrace by Natsu and Dalia.

Laxus gave the guild a glare that could kill god himself for what they just did. He knew they were smarter than that yet they did it anyways. "ENOUGH!" Laxus roared scaring Dalia almost to tears. "Fairy Tail you are better than this! How dare you! I am beyond disappointed! Makarov would be embarrassed that the guild he sacrificed EVERYTHING for is doing this! She hasn't been our enemy or done anything against us since the day the war ended. 'Yesterday's enemy might be today's friend.' Do you all remember that? Because I do! And I will be the person my grandfather believed I could be! We all have things to atone for. Fairy Tail has always been a place that gives those who have strayed from the path a chance to begin it again. I mean we let Gajeel and Juvia join after Phantom started a war with us. We let Brandish join, wasn't she a Shield too? What is the difference? She has changed and who are we to deny her happiness!?" Laxus ranted making sure that every guild member that had voiced their anger felt small and knew that they were in no position to oppose this.

After a few minutes of watching Natsu calm Dalia down and promising her pancakes. Mira was more than happy to spoil the little girl. They all moved over to the bar so Mira could fawn over the child who actually kinda liked the attention from her. After Natsu, Dimaria and Dalia moved to the bar Gray, Juvia, Gajeel, Laxus, and Wendy came over while the rest of the guild went back to whatever they usually were doing which mainly consisted of drinking and looking for a job.

"How did this happen anyways? I never would have assumed that you of all people Natsu would even understand what a relationship was let alone understand sex! Hahaha!" Laxus snorted as he almost fell over with about half the guild laughing at the Fire Dragon slayer.

"HEY I know all of that! Just because I act stupid doesn't ACTUALLY mean I am stupid. I just ignored everyone here! I see everyone as family and it would be weird to have a relationship with any of them. Yes Cana I did understand all of the times you'd flirt with me trying to see if I understood but I ignored it and acted stupid. I mean I see Gildarts as a father figure and you are his daughter. It feels weird. However from now on you will be seeing the real Natsu because I can no longer keep the stupid act up. Besides when you appear to be stupid everybody thinks you won't understand what's going on." Natsu responded with clear agitation in his voice because he knew that Laxus saw past his charade, same with Gajeel and Wendy.

"What I wanna know Salamander is how did you keep her scent off of you? I haven't smelled either of them on you!?" Gajeel barked out much to Levy's chagrin.

"Well that is a secret I shall keep for myself! Hahahha!" Natsu smirked giving them all the toothy grin he was famous for.

"So Dimaria, how did you and brother…..meet?" Wendy asked trying to not make it sound sexual but every other phrasing of the question made it sound perverse.

"Mari, please just call me Mari. First thing is I wanted to apologize for my past actions I…" Before she could finish Natsu grabbed her hand, she turned toward him with a questioning look on her face.

"Please Mari. Please let it go, it's in the past and we can't all dwell on the past or it clouds the future. Please focus on the good you've done since then, the people you've helped, me included." As he put his forehead on hers in an intimate manner that showed nothing but a loving warmth for all who saw it.

"Wendy I wanted to ask you to forgive her and focus on the future? Is that something that…" Before Natsu could finish that thought Wendy interrupted "Of course, anything for my big brother and his mate." In the most loving manner Wendy had accepted Dimaria without question seeing the woman in front of her was nothing even similar to the Evil vindictive woman that she was when they last met.

"So Mari how did you two meet? I'm curious tell me everything! How did you seduce our naïve little Dragon over there?" Mira asked with a devilish grin and a sultry she leaned over the bar toward Dimaria emphasizing the size of her bust in a seductive manner that surprised everybody.

"Well when you put it like that how can I not tell you?" Mari said with an equally as sultry tone that threw Mira for a second, but when she regained her senses her smirk grew even bigger knowing that Mari would fit in just fine at Fairy Tail.

Before the story could begin however Laxus put his hand on Dimaria shoulder. "Where do you want you guild mark?" He asked as she looked at him in an inquisitive manner. "I never said anything about joining?" She said in a nervous tone.

"I can only assume you didn't ask or say anything because you thought that you'd be a pariah and wouldn't be accepted. But just so you know as the master. I make the decisions so if anyone has a problem with it they can talk to me, and if anyone gives you a problem let me know. Now, again where do you want your guild mark and what color?" Laxus said in a calm and caring tone.

"My left calf and green please." Dimaria was almost in tears by the acceptance that was being shown to her.

"Okay now that that's taken care of can you get back to the story? I wanna know how you tamed the dragon!" Mira said as she pointed to Natsu who was playing with Dalia along with Gajeel and Levy.

"Well it's not really that exciting of a tale to be honest." Mari started and she immediately got angry looks from Mira, Lisanna and Juvia. Lisanna having recently joined them at the bar from getting the rest of the guild drinks and food.

"Please start from the beginning Dimaria! I'm dying to know how you did it! For years I fawned over him showing so much affection and dropping hint after hint but nothing ever happened. Eventually I had to just face the fact that he was never gonna catch on! But then he reveals you two! By the way, Dalia is just so adorable! She really takes after her mother!" Lisanna said with the biggest grin on her face as she made the former shield blush like crazy after her last comment.

"Well thank you Lisanna. Is that correct I haven't seen you all in so long I can't remember faces and names really I'm sorry!" Mari stated with obvious nervousness as she didn't want to bring up memories of the war.

With a nod from Lisanna that she had gotten the name correct she began telling the story of after the war. "After the emperor was encased in the lacrima and the forces were removed from Fiore Natsu remained with Fairy Tail for, I think it was 3 months, until the royal Emissary came to get him and bring him back to the empire because he was in all respects the new emperor, being Zeref's only living relative the throne passed to him. So after what I thought were my failures during the war I planned to make sure that the new Emperor was protected. I stayed with him at all times for the next 3 years. Whenever he came here to visit he wanted me to stay at an Inn in town so that I wasn't spotted or harassed." She explained rather sheepishly clearly showing how her personality had changed from a Cynical hardened jaded warrior to a loving mother and mate.

"What happened when you first started to stay with him?" Mira and Lisanna asked in unison so wrapped up in the story that they hadn't noticed the Kinana needed help serving everybody Fortunately Lucy had started helping her ,also wanting to hear how Dimaria wooed the Idiot she called a best friend.

"Well it wasn't as simple as that. It took me at minimum 8 weeks to get him to talk to me. And another 6 for him to accept that I wanted to help him but also make up for my mistakes. But he said that he only accepted it because his senses told him my heart rate was steady and other things that told him I wasn't lying. I felt like he couldn't forgive me. I saw him as a man that while very naïve in politics tried his best to help the people of the Empire. He was also searching for someone to take his spot because he didn't see himself as a leader or someone of that nature he still saw himself as a Fairy Tail Wizard. I think that's what I fell for to begin with." She said with a small smile gracing her beautiful features. "I knew that Fairy Tail was a forgiving guild but I didn't think that he would forgive me so quickly and actually understand why I felt the way I did. Actually to tell you the truth I don't really remember a time after he accepted me that he didn't show me some sort of intimate affection or care like just an extra-long hug on a bad day when I was feeling down about what I had done to all of you. He always made me feel like I was a person something that very few people have done in my life." She added with the same smile resting on her face but a more blushed version.

"After about 6 more months I was getting ready to go to my quarters to get ready to turn in for the night when one of the attendants told me that Natsu required my presence. Now just so you all understand Natsu thought that the attendants were overkill and he made sure all of them knew they were people to him. By the Third month he was there he knew most of their names and he refused to let them call him by any honorific title. It was Natsu or they could just be casual with him." Dimaria explained with speed as to quell any thought that the throne had changed Natsu as a person. Just then the Doors swung open revealing Brandish back from an S- class mission.

"MARI?" Brandish yelled "What are you doing here? Are you causing trouble for everyone? I swear if you hurt anyone I'll kill you!" She yelled in an angry tone only to be met with an animalistic growl that came from Natsu that sounded like a dragon was about to strike.

"Natsu Stop." Dimaria quickly shouted much to everybody's surprise because they had gotten used to a caring Dimaria and were not ready for her tone to shift so drastically. "Brandi I'm a member now." As she showed Brandish the newly placed Guild mark. To this Brandish nearly fainted. She wasn't expecting Dimaria, the Valkyrie, to become a member of the Guild that took away so much from her.

"Why did Natsu almost pounce?" Brandish asked very curious as to why one of her friends almost lost it when she said what she did.

"Because you threatened a Dragons mate and that's a no no." Wendy chimed in as if to ease the tension that was created.

As she heard what Wendy said she gasped as she didn't realize that Dimaria was Natsu's mate and they weren't next to each other showing any sign of it. "Oh my god! I didn't know I'm so sorry! WAIT! When did this happen! Why didn't you tell me! What!? I'm so confused!" Brandish wailed not understanding what was happening! "Welcome to my world" Lucy chimed in.

"Can we get back to the story? I wanna know what happened next! Did he confess to you? Did you confess to him? Did he take you out for a romantic getaway? I NEED DETAILS!" Mira cried as she almost burst into tears. Her brain wanted all the details and nothing was stopping her from getting it!

"Brandi I've got a chair here if you wanna hear the story?" Dimaria offered to a stunned Brandish. Brandish had never seen Dimaria be kind to so many people. Typically she'd be shouting and mocking them, or just be angry that there were so many people. After the shock wore off Brandish hurried over to the seat to listen to what had happened.

"Now where was I, oh yeah the attendant said that he required my presence, which I found odd because at night he liked to be left alone, something to do with training or paperwork or something, he never went into detail." Dimaria was then interrupted by gray shouting "FLAME BRAIN DID PAPERWORK?" only to be glared at by all the women trying to listen to the story. "So as I was saying I found this to be weird so I finished my shower and dressed for bed because he knew I would be going to sleep soon. As I got to his chambers he yelled for me to come in. I was slightly worried because I slept in a long shirt and underwear. So it was weird to be so bare near anyone. He asked me to take a seat at his desk where he was currently sitting and we started talking. Just a casual conversation for a half an hour that went on. Finally I was getting tired and so was he so I asked 'Why did you ask for me? Aren't the nights a sort of private time for you?' to which he started talking about Dragons and Dragon slayers. Giving me information on the whole process and the traits that Dragon slayers are given by their dragons including Mating habits and seasons. I was rather flustered by the end of his explanation." She said with a very bright blush on her face as the women realized what she was saying. They too began to blush.

"So he explained that when the Dragon slayer became of age they had a so called inner dragon. The more primal tendencies of the dragon, it reared its head when certain things happened. Loved ones were in danger; they met their mate or one their inner dragon approved of, or something along those lines. Well he explained that mating season was coming up and he was retreating to a secluded area and I wasn't to follow because his inner dragon found me to be a suitable mate. He told me not to follow him, search for him, or even come near him for a month. He didn't want to hurt me, or force me into something that I couldn't get out of because of his strength my Age Seal didn't affect him. He told me that for my own good I should not do anything to put myself in that position because after mating season started he wasn't sure he could resist it. Even that night his inner Dragon was yelling at him to claim me." She said as more of the women started to blush and could see what was happening. Given that nobody said anything she continued the story making sure that Natsu had Dalia out of listening range.

"So the time came for him to seclude himself and he did, I waited a month and he didn't come back. I was getting scared that the one person I had come to rely on had something happen to him. I realized that I loved him. Because of the way I acted and longed to be near him I went to find him." A few of the woman gasped as they surely thought that something bad had happened to Dimaria after she had been told explicitly not to do what she had gone to do. "I found out where he had gone from one of the attendants that was worried about Natsu, actually all of the attendants had asked me at some point in the week after the day he was supposed to come back if he was okay or where was he. I set off to retrieve him or help him. As I arrived I noticed that everything was quiet and looked fine. I went to the door of the house and heard a loud noise like something breaking so I activated my Age Seal and Burst through the door knowing Natsu could get away from anything because he wasn't affected by it. I found a wrecked inside of the cabin and Natsu with a Feral look in his eyes." She remembered with a scared look on her face as the rest of the guild was thinking the worst. She continued. "Now before you all jump to conclusions he didn't force anything. If anything I didn't expect being tackled by him. And no, pervs listening I'm not going into detail. But yes we had sex. He completed the mating ritual and I am his mate. He Jumped off of me after he tackled me and yelled for me to leave but I didn't. I wanted to be his mate. After all he was the first person who I actually cared for enough to say I loved him." She said in almost a whisper and with a huge blush as she recalled the very erotic memory. All of the woman swooned at the story. And all of the guys listening swore under their breathes as they wanted details on the sex because she was not unattractive in the slightest.

"After we returned to the Capital we decided to start slowly, even though we were already bound to each other due to the mating we still wanted to have that spark, that passion, we loved each other but we wanted to know more about each other. Little did we know I would be pregnant. So we started having little romantic dates until I started getting morning sickness then we decided that since I was pregnant we might as well just keep going with it. We made it clear to the attendants and the other government officials that we wanted to keep the relationship a secret and they knew that we could both bring a world of hurt if they let it slip. So they all kept it quiet." Dimaria was shocked at the smiles she saw on everyone's face. She didn't think that they would be this happy for them. Even Lucy who was extremely pissed when she first found out had a grin that rivaled Natsu's.

"Honestly I'm just happy that he finally found someone. After Igneel Died I thought he was broken. I didn't think that he would make it, then finding out that he had a brother who was the 'dark wizard Zeref' learning he was part demon, and finding out about a nephew and then loosing said nephew, I thought he was going to break." Wendy said with happiness in her voice as it used to be filled with concern for her big brother.

"Hey Uncle Gajeel, gimme back Igneel!" Dalia shrieked as everyone turned to see Gajeel holding a red dragon plushy above his head.

"Not until you show me what magic you have! I sense it so I know you have it short stuff!" Gajeel chuckled as the little girl was jumping to get the dragon.

Gajeel's face turned pale as he heard what the little girl whispered. Just as she got done whispering it a huge jet of fire erupted from her mouth scorching Gajeel's legs. As he fell Natsu caught the Dragon and picked up Dalia in the biggest hug as she giggled the entire time cuddling the dragon. There were two reactions to this, one, Hysterical laughter as a little girl forced Gajeel to his back with fire, second, Massive awes that came from the display and how happy the little girl looked with her stuffed dragon.

After a few hours the guild had gone back to normal. A few of the members steered clear of Dimaria but most had greeted her and accepted her because their resident Fire Dragon Slayer was mated to her meaning she wasn't going anywhere.

Yo this is my first story so please review. Kind of nervous about posting it. I know I'm not the greatest writer but give me a chance. Don't just assassinate my writing. I probably won't listen to any assassinations anyways. I'm still thinking on where to go in this story. Might just leave it as a one shot but most likely going to keep it going I kind of like the idea of Dimaria becoming a member of Fairy Tail. Might bring back her Psychotic bitch thing. Let me know if you like it.
