Lucy walked out the guild as she found that her best friend slash crush was leaving her for a few weeks. She couldn't get a partner to help out with the S-class promotion event. All of her friends would be gone for a couple weeks while they fought to be a S-class wizard. Her last chance was Cana but Nab had claimed her first.
Lucy headed home and started reading a book she had got from the library a while back. It was a romance story with a few erotic scenes with the two protagonists. Those type of books weren't her favourite but Erza had recommended it to her.
Natsu sat at the back while he watched as Lucy slowly rose and exited the guild. He never seen her so depressed before. He wanted to take Lucy with him but Happy had already claimed that spot and he wanted to take his best friend with him.
"Yo, Natsu." He looked up see Happy flying towards him. The blue cat didn't notice Lucy's sorrow. "Why do you look sad? You are going to become a S-class wizard with my help." Natsu let a small smile creep onto his lips.
"Yeah, you're right."
"Now, lets start training." Happy grabbed his friend and flew out the room with him.
Natsu and Happy had been training for the whole two weeks to better themselves again. They knew they might be fighting Gildarts, Erza or even Mira. They had to show that they were better then those three. Natsu had completely forgot about Lucy and her sorrow about her friends leaving her.
It was the day before they had to leave and everyone was in the guild, partying so by tomorrow they were all rivals. Everyone was there even Lucy, she was smiling on the outside but inside she was crying. She didn't want them to leave her especially all those who were on team Natsu. She shook her away her feelings and enjoyed her time with her friends.
Natsu had clung to her the whole entire evening. He didn't want to leave her either. He couldn't tease her if he was away. Natsu had gotten quite drunk that Lucy had taken him to her home. She had no clue in where he and Happy lived.
Lucy dropped him on her bed and took of his sandals. She pushed his legs onto her bed. She could hear his breath. She sat next to him, running her hands through his hair. Feeling his soft locks run through her fingers. She felt a hand grab her wrist and pull it to their lips. They gently kissed her hand. His lips were warm and gentle. It was the hand where she had her mark on.
"Natsu?" The boy sat up and wrapped his arms around her neck. "What are you doing." She said as she felt him kiss her shoulder. He pushed away the fabric, so he could have the better view of her.
"I'm going to miss you, when I'm away." He whispered into her skin. His voice resonated through her skin. She felt his teeth scratch down her milky skin. Natsu grabbed her and pushed her onto the bed. He climbed on top of her and discarded her clothes before, pleasuring her. Lucy didn't really mind. She was wanting this for a long time. She helped Natsu discard his clothes of his bulky frame.
Lucy woke up in a warm, vacant bed. The sunlight peaked through her curtains, wakening her up. She turned around to see a note on her pillow. As she reached for it, she noticed that she was naked. Her body ached as she reached for the note. Her body was covered and kisses and bites. She pushed back the pain and picked up the note. Tears fell down her face when she read the note.
It had been several weeks and Lucy skipped to the guild knowing her friends would be back. She had important news to tell Natsu. She didn't see all the sad glares from the villagers as she skipped past them. She was consumed by her thoughts.
When she arrived at the guild she stood frozen as she couldn't see her friends instead the sad faces of the others. She was scared to hear what they had to say. Macao walked over to her with a magazine in his hand. Lucy snatched it out of her and whimpered when she saw the front page.
'Mages of Fairy Tail disappear after the attack from Acnologia.' Lucy fell onto her knees and cried. Laki ran up to her and hugged her. Lucy continued to cry, with of the thoughts that her friends were dead. They were her family, now the all of them were gone.
"Natsu." She whispered as she let her tears fall on the magazine. Romeo ran up to her. Lucy picked herself of her hands and knees and hugged the crying boy. Lucy patted his back as she tried to calm her tears.
"Macao, what are we going to do?" The male looked down and shrugged. The young ones in the guild were urgently needing advice but he was finding it hard to deliver.
"We will carry on until the come back. They will return, Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy are dragon slayers not to mention the master and all the S-class wizards are their plus the S-class candidates. There is no need to worry." Lucy still cried behind Romeo. Her tears dropped to the floor.
Macao looked at Lucy who was crying the hardest from the others. The older male stood up and walked up to his son and patted both Lucy's and Romeo's head. "It will get better." Romeo turned around and hugged into his father. Macao wrapped his arms around him, calming him down. "Lucy, what's wrong?" Lucy didn't say anything just looked towards the floor. Wakaba finally noticed the sorrow that Lucy had and walked up to Romeo.
"Hey, let your dad talk to Lucy alone." Wakaba held his hand out for the young boy to hold. Romeo took his god fathers hand and walked away from Lucy.
Lucy stood up and lead Macao outside the guild and went around the back. She slid down the down the wall as her legs failed to keep her up. The older male sat beside her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"What's up?" Lucy placed a hand on her stomach. She slowly breathed as she calmed her nerves down.
"I think I'm pregnant with Natsu's child." She pulled her knees up to her face, hiding her tears. Macao wrapped his other arm around her body and hugged her. He found it shocking that Lucy and Natsu had that type of relationship. They were always messing around but they were always seen as good friends.
"When did you and Natsu, you know do 'it'." Lucy wiped her tears.
"The night before he left, we were both drunk." Macao kissed her head and helped her up. He patted her head and stood beside her. "Can you not tell the other about the child or Natsu for now. I don't want to be constantly reminded." Macao nodded and allowed her to have her secret.
He lay there on the cell floor, hungry and tired. He refused to eat to atone for his sins. Though he promised her that he would survive in the place of Simon. He couldn't live himself to do such things.
"Did you hear most fairy tail wizards are missing. Master Makarov, Laxus Dreyar, Mirajane Strauss, Natsu Dragneel and many more are in the report on the missing." His head spring up and stood up. He ran to the door and grabbed the guard. The other guard pried his hands from his comrades clothes.
"Erza! Erza Scarlett, is she on that list." They didn't answer the male. "Tell me, I need to know." The two guards looked at each other the looked at the sheet.
"We are sorry Jellal, she is. Why do you care about a hero like her?" The male slid down the down the door and hugged his knees. He couldn't believe that she was gone. The guards peeped into the cell to see him at the door. They sighed and looked away. He was human after all.
The members of Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, Quatro Cerberus, Love & Lucky, a few members of the magic council with a male in a chains and a straight jacket and the supporters stood at the fairy tail memorable statue of the guild symbol. The guests turned around to see the last members of fairy tail walk to the front of the crowd. They all looked depressed from the loss of there friends. They watched as Lucy stepped forward and pressed her fist against Natsu's name which was carved in the statue. Romeo stood next to her and hugged her.
"It's a tragedy that many talented wizards lost their lives defending themselves against the dragon Acnologia." Lucy collapsed to the floor and cried into the mud. No one really minded as she was closer to most of their ages except Makarov. They knew it was hard for her since being the last one from team Natsu. One man stepped forward and leaned down and wrapped his arms around the crying girl.
Lucy looked up to see her dad, embracing her in a comforting hug. Lucy shifted her body and cried into him. The male smiled as for the first time in forever he was hugging his daughter. Macao and the other members walked forward to the male and leaned over them.
"Who are you?" Jude looked up to see his daughters guild protecting her.
"I am Jude Heartfillia, I'm Lucy's father. Who are you?" He asked the male. The members of Fairy tail were shocked to meet the once richest man in Fiore also the man who ordered phantom lord to destroy their guild.
"I am fairy tail's fourth master, Macao Conbolt." Jude held onto his daughter as she cried. It was a chance for him now to start acting as her father. He had been giving his second chance in a unfortunate way. Consoling his daughter when her friends are dead.
"Why can't I stop crying?" She asked out loud. No one answered her. They knew she had feelings for her guild mates.
After the membrance ceremony for her friends, she told her dad about her expecting a child. She cried when she said it was Natsu's baby. Her father never shouted at her, he just held her and told her that he would be there for her.
After a few months, the guild had questioned her rapid weight gain and sicknesses. Lucy told them the truth about being pregnant but never mentioned that Natsu was the father of her child. Everyone congratulated on their soon to be new arrival to fairy tail. They were desperately trying to figure out who the child's dad was but they couldn't work it out. They knew if they asked Lucy, it would be a possible it would hurt her thinking about it.
Lucy went on simple quests with Max. She just stayed back and allowed her spirits to fight in her place. Max did most of the work with his sand. She found out that Scorpio and him worked well with each other. She needed the money to provide for her and her soon to be child. Most of the clients congratulated her then asked about the father. Lucy went quiet and looked at her hands. Max knew that it was a touchy subject for her so they didn't pry into it.
"Sorry, I don't like to talk about it." The clients quickly backed their comments and apologised.
Jude often visited Fairy Tail to check on Lucy when she was 6 months pregnant with her child. He visited her once a week when she was in her first trimester but now he visited her 5 times a week. They managed to rekindle their love with each other with her baby. Macao looked after Lucy while Jude was away. He and Laki helped her move into the girls dormitory. They got her two rooms which were joined together. Macao and Jude painted the child's bedroom and helped set up the changing area and the cot.
They painted the room yellow to match Lucy's hair plus it was a unisex colour. They placed a white rocking chair in the corner with a stuffed blue cat on the chair. The bed was yellow with animal prints on the sheets, it was placed right next to the chair. There was a dresser full of children's clothes.
As time dawned to the due date Macao, Jude and the Fairy Tail would make sure she was always with someone. Mainly it was Laki since she was a girl and they lived right next to each other. She slept beside her in Lucy's bed. The bed was bigger than her last one so there was more space for the girls to have their privacy. At the guild she was surrounded by all her friends so there wasn't any worry there.
Lucy grabbed a drink but as she walked to her table with Macao, Wakaba and Romeo she felt a pain in her stomach and dropped the glass at her feet where there were two puddles. One near her right foot. The other between her legs. Macao rushed towards to her and took her out of the guild. Laki threw Jet, Lucy's house keys. He was the first one out the guild. He was going to meet Macao at the hospital with Lucy's hospital bag.
They arrived at the hospital were a nurse rushed up to the two, knowing perfectly of the situation she was in. The nurse grabbed a wheelchair and took Lucy to her room. Jet came and and saw them heading down the hallway. He flashed forward and stood next to Lucy.
"You will be alright." He soothed her as they walked to the room.
A few painful hours later and Lucy was now in labour with her child. Jet had been sent home when Jude arrived. Macao had left the room to keep Sorcery Weekly from looking in.
"I want Natsu!" Lucy screamed to her dad. The male shook his head knowing the pink hair male might never return to his daughters side. "He has to see the birth of his child. I can't do this alone. I need him." She cried. The doctor who was dealing with Lucy knew of the circumstances and every time she screamed his name, the doctor couldn't help but feel remorse. Everyone knew the story about how they had vanished 9 months ago.
An hour later and Lucy gave her final push. Her head was badly sweating. Her hair was in a tied up but parts fell in front of her eyes and stuck to her face. Her eyes were droopy. Her face was pale from exhaustion and no doubt that her body would be in pain. The doctor, Lucy and Jude smiled when they heard the baby cry. Lucy began to cry and reached up to hold her new baby. The doctor wrapped a soft towel around it after cleaning it up and weighing the child and handed it to Lucy. The spirit Mage stared at her baby.
"Dad, can you get Macao for me." Jude patted her head and walked outside where the male was sitting. Lucy started at her child's beautiful face.
As Jude stepped outside he was bombarded with questions. The reporters were persistent to get the news about the child. Macao ran up to Jude with worried eyes when he heard the cries.
"Lucy wants you to meet her daughter." Macao smiled hearing the news that Lucy had a baby girl. The reporters had heard the news and were recording Jude's words carefully. It was going to be the biggest scoop since Fairy Tail had died. Jude lead the man back inside with Lucy, keeping the door locked.
He smiled when he saw that she was gently talking to her child. The child had light blonde hair like her mother. Her face was peacefully sleeping. Lucy held onto her child and softly spoke to her about her father. Lucy knew that she wouldn't remember anything she said today. Jude sat on the chair and took his granddaughter out of Lucy's arms allowing her to sleep.
Lucy was woken up when a male came in with a few sheets. She peered through her lids to see it was her doctor. He placed the document on the table then moved the table closer to Lucy. The female sat up and looked at the forms.
"What is it?" She asked as she rubbed her eyes.
"Birth Certificate details." Lucy sighed and grabbed the pen and looked over the parts she had to fill in.
"Biological mother." She read aloud then filled her name in then signed it. "Biological Father." The next question was. Lucy was hesitant but put Natsu name down.
"Sorry Miss but the father needs to sign beside his name." Lucy glared at him then showed the doctor the fathers name. He bowed down in apology. It would be hard for Natsu to sign the form. She filled in the document but left the first few details out. They were name, surname and additional names. She couldn't think of a name for her daughter. With a deep sigh she took the document and looked at her child.
"Name, Natsumi. Surname, Heartfillia." She finished the form and gave it back to the doctor. He smiled and took the table away from Lucy allowing her to go back to sleep.
Lucy was allowed to leave the hospital after a few days. They had taught her to hold the child, bathe, change and feed her. Lucy had a cloak which covered her face. Natsumi was in her arms. The cloak hid her daughter from the others who she past by. She wasn't in the mood to talk to reporters. She quickly made her way to the guild so they greet their new member.
Lucy pushed open the doors to see everyone laughing casually. Kinana was serving drinks at the bar. Lucy made her way to Macao who noticed her and ran up to Lucy. He kissed her head and took Natsumi off her so she could relax her shoulders. Wakaba and Romeo were first to see the newest member. Jet, Droy, Alzack and Bisca rushed to the child next.
"Lucy she looks like you so much." Bisca cooed as she took the child of Macao. Lucy laughed and took a seat in her recliner. She reached up for Bisca to hand her child back to her. The green haired female understood and handed back Natsumi. They saw how the child turned into her mother as she slept. Lucy whispered to her guild as she watched over her child.
Lucy sat beside Macao drinking a strawberry smoothing with a six year old Natsumi, drinking a cup of milk. She wore her blonde hair in pigtails. A part of her fringe floated past her black eyes. Lucy casually talked to Macao while her daughter was drawing a picture. It was hard to make out but she seemed so proud of her work.
"Mummy, I want to play with Romeo." Lucy looked in her cup of milk and tutted.
"Not until you finish every last drop. You will get strong bones that way." Natsumi quickly finished her drink then ran up to Romeo, pulling him outside. Romeo had found out Natsumi's father when Lucy brought her home. Sometimes she was so much like Natsu. They way she sparred with him. Her attitude to people she didn't like. Her love for her friends and family. It was like she was filling a void that Natsu created when he left them. Romeo was like her older cousin who she deeply cherished.
"Such a quiet guild or is it a guild? It's just pathetic little building which should be destroyed." Lucy jumped to her feet and grabbed her whip. It was Twilight Ogre who believed they were the best in Magnolia. Lucy's own strength made sure that the guild weren't weak when facing enemies. She was one off the strongest mages in Fairy Tail since everyone left.
"What do you know what makes a guild or not. Now what do you want?" The male smirked and walked up to Lucy. He tried to grab her but Lucy kicked him in the stomach. "Answer my question!" She yelled at them. The other members of Twilight Ogre surrounded Lucy.
"We want our money. If you can't pay, you lovely ladies can work for our boss." Lucy just scoffed at their accusation.
"Sorry but we have to decline your offer. We are not like that. So be patient and we will give you the money." Lucy smirked.
"No! We don't wait. We want our money now."
"We don't have the money. We don't get a lot of well paying jobs." The males dispersed and began ruining the guild. Macao grabbed her shoulder to stop her from doing anything stupid. Lucy gritted her teeth as she couldn't save the guild.
"What the hell do you think, you are playing at?" They heard a male shout. Lucy turned around and whimpered when they saw them standing there.
"Who are you?" The leader asked the young male.
"Natsu Dragneel, a member of fairy tail." The leader looked to his friends then scampered out the guild. Lucy smiled once the males vanished and ran up to Natsu. She jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist. Her head resting on her shoulder as she cried. Natsu laughed and hugged her back. The other members laughed as Lucy was crying from happiness.
"I really missed you...you... you idiot." Natsu laughed and hugged her tighter. Her hug was so welcoming and warm. He could forget about the past while he was with her. Natsu could tell that she was really glad that he had returned back.
"I missed you too." Lucy looked behind him and saw Gray and Erza. She jumped off Natsu and ran into their arm. Pulling them into a group hug. She saw Juvia was glaring at her so Lucy pulled her in as well. Juvia laughed and hugged her rival back. She allowed this once that she could touch her Gray. They all had been informed that they had disappeared for 7 years by Mavis. So for once she was allowed Lucy to welcome back her teammate.
"You've grown up so much. What age are you now?" Lucy laughed as Erza spoke.
"I have just turned 24." Lucy let go of the three and ran to Levy and Cana.
"Hey Lucy, tomorrow want to go on a mission." Natsu asked as he sat down beside Macao. The older male beside Natsu looked at Lucy wondering what she was going to say.
"Maybe, if I find a babysitter." Most of the guild members were confused when she said 'babysitter'. "Romeo! Bring Natsumi in." Lucy shouted to the back door. Romeo came in slightly battered with a blonde girl. Natsu couldn't help but notice that she was the duplicate of Lucy. He felt slightly sad that she had a child. Romeo ran up to his dad and Natsu, bringing Natsumi with him. She ran away from Natsu and cuddled into her mother.
"Natsu you are back." He smiled at the fire Mage. Natsu nodded not particularly listening. He looked over Romeo's shoulder to see Lucy holding her child.
"Why are they not granddad? I want to see granddad. Why won't he see me?" Lucy whipped her head to Macao who just shrugged. Lucy took her daughter and placed her on a seat. Lucy crouched down and grabbed her daughter's shoulder.
"Natsumi, listen to me carefully." She nodded her head. Lucy looked to Macao for some help. She couldn't bring herself to say it. Macao stood up and crouched down beside Lucy.
"Natsumi, listen. Your grandad had left us." Natsumi didn't look phased.
"When is he coming back?" Lucy shook her head.
"He's never coming back." Lucy's voice cracked. Macao wrapped an arm around her shoulder. Natsu's eyes widened when he found out that Lucy's father had died. "Natsumi, grandad has perished from this world and he is never allowed to come back. Do you not remember, we all stood in black, everyone was was crying as six males lowered him into a hole." Natsumi let a tear fall down her face. Lucy pounced up and grabbed her daughter. She held her close to her body as her daughter wailed.
Lucy began to cry with her daughter. Natsu stood behind Natsumi and hugged into Lucy. Macao and Romeo smiled as they saw Natsu comforting his unknown family. He soothed her hair when she cried. He guessed that she had made amends with him when he vanished.
"He died two months ago." Natsu's eyes widened. It was so recent and yet he wasn't there for her.
"I'm sorry to hear, Lucy." Natsu let go off Lucy and sat back on his seat beside Macao. Natsumi frowned and walked over to Macao and sat on his knee. Lucy laughed as her daughter was being protective of her master. Lucy walked over to her recliner chair and threw her exhausted body back onto it. She closed her eyes and rested.
She woke up with a jolt when she heard her daughter cry. She jumped off the seat and looked to her daughter. She sighed when she saw her daughter run into the arms of a sliver haired man.
"Lyon, what are you doing here?" Lucy ran up to him and put an arm around his waist. Natsu and the others stared at the way she touched him.
"I wanted to see how you were also, there is a mission, in Magnolia. Want to join me?" Lucy laughed but shook her head.
"I would love to but I promised Natsu that if I got a babysitter, I would go on a mission with him." Lyon looked behind her to see that they had returned.
"Gray, it so good to see you back, man." He walked up to his 'brother' and bumped fists with him. Lucy laughed and sat beside Natsu who was still beside Macao and Romeo. Natsumi sat on her knee as she slept in her arms.
"So, Lyon, how are you and Lucy close." Lyon laughed and slightly blushed.
"When you left, the alliance between the guilds didn't alter. Lucy was the only one representing Fairy Tail. It was the only best paying job she could get. We also dated for three months about two years ago." Gray and Natsu were shocked at his words. Lucy hushed them as they would of woken her daughter.
"Why did you stop?" Erza asked him as she sat beside Gray. Lyon looked to Lucy who shook her head.
"I realised that we were in love with someone else, so we went back to being friends." Lucy smiled and stood up. She handed her daughter to Macao. She kissed her daughters head.
"I'm not feeling that great. Can you bring her up to the apartment around 7, so I can get her ready for her bed." Macao kissed Lucy's head then watched as she exited the guild. Lyon stood up and left the job request beside Gray.
"I'm heading home. It's great to see you. Has Lucy told you about her father?" They nodded their heads.
"Did she tell you how they made up?" They ones in the guild who didn't know shook their heads. "It was a few days since we figured that you disappeared. Fairy Tail held a membrance ceremony for you. Lamia Tail, Blue Pegasus, Love & Lucky were the only guilds at the ceremony. There was also the magic council with a blue haired prisoner. Lucy was the most upset of your disappearance at the ceremony, so her dad comforted her while she cried over your disappearances." Natsu listened to Lyon but he kept his eyes on Natsumi. She resembled Lucy in so many ways.
"Macao, who is her father?" Emphasising 'her' as he was referring to Natsumi.
"I can't tell you that, Natsu. In time you will find out." Natsu sighed as he looked at the child. "Natsu do you want to hold her? I need to talk to Master Makarov." Natsu slowly nodded as he held his arms out. Macao smiled and placed her gently in his arms. Happy sat on Natsu's shoulder as he looked onto the young girl.
"She seems comfortable with you." Natsu smiled as she turned into his chest. He was still finding it hard that Lucy had a child in the time he had been away. Erza and Gray moved closer and sat beside him.
"She looks just like Lucy. Did you find out who her father is? Natsu shook his head.
"You seem comfortable, Natsu, with Lucy's child." Erza smiled as she looked at the scene. She noticed the way she slept was not like Lucy at all. It was more like Natsu. Erza's eyes widened when she started seeing more and more features of Natsu appear.
Lucy woke up when she felt her bed rock. She looked up to see Natsu at her door and Natsumi in her bed.
"Thank you, Natsu." The male smiled then began to walk out the house. "Natsu wait!" She shouted after him. Lucy climbed out of her bed and rushed towards the front door. She pressed the door shut with Natsu still in side.
"Stay. I haven't seen you in along time. I'll get Natsumi ready for her bed then we'll catch up." Natsu nodded and made his way to the living room. Lucy walked into her bedroom and placed a Natsumi over her shoulder. Natsumi screamed as Lucy flew her like a plane to the bathroom. Natsu couldn't help but hear the laughter from Lucy and her daughter.
"Lucy do you need a hand?"
"Yeah, can you get me Natsumi her pyjamas. They are pink and on her pillow." Natsu giggled at the thought of Natsumi just like Lucy and went through to her room.
It took Lucy an hour to get Natsumi sleeping. Natsu sat beside Lucy as she brushed her daughters hair and read her goodnight story. He couldn't believe how motherly she was to a little girl who cherished her so much. The day he spent with her it was hard to believe Lucy raised her by herself with the help of her friends.
Natsu and Lucy sat on her couch with a wine in their hands. Natsu sat on his foot while the other hanged of the couch. Lucy tucked her legs under her bum.
"So tell me what happened during the S-class promotional event." Natsu laughed and sat his glass on her coffee table.
"As longs you tell me of everything that happened during the seven years I was gone." Lucy smiled but looked away. "You don't need to tell me about the guy you slept with to produce your daughter." Natsu moved up and sat beside Lucy. He picked her up and leaned against the curve of the sofa. Lucy lay beside him. His arm around her shoulders.
"The event happened as soon as we got there. We had to go down a path and I picked 'E' for Erza but I ended up fighting Gildarts." Lucy gasped as she sipped on her wine. "I managed to pass his course and move on. The next challenge was to find Mavis's grave but then Gilmore Hearts appeared in search of Zeref. There was a huge battle between Fairy Tail and Gilmore Hearts, we managed to win. Just after we fought..." He could see Lucy tuning out, she knew what was coming up. Natsu took her wine off her and placed it beside his.
"Continue." She sniffed. Natsu moved his arms from her shoulder to around her waist.
"I don't think I should. Now tell me about you. I heard you and your dad made up." Lucy smiled and leaned back into his chest.
"Well, I went on lot of solo missions. When I could I trained with Loke and my other celestial spirits." Lucy felt Natsu shift underneath her.
"I have something for you." Natsu took the gold object from his pocket and cupped it in his two hands. Lucy squealed when she saw the gate of the goat, Capricorn. Lucy kissed his cheek.
"Thanks so much, Natsu. I love it. Now where was I. Yeah, I was training with my celestial spirits. I can now take multiple out at the same time." Natsu smiled as he listened to her talk about her accomplishments. "I found out the day that I was pregnant with yo- Natsumi, the day you disappeared." Lucy kept talking about her life in the seven years without Natsu. He listened everything that had happened when he was away. He wanted to hold her and tell her, he missed her so much but that courage he didn't have.
"Lucy I want to tell you something?" Lucy moved in closer to him and spinned around. Natsu blushed and looked away. "I can't, sorry." Lucy leaned against him and wrapped her arms around him.
"Then I will tell you something. I thought about you the whole 7 years when you were away. I really did miss you, you idiot."
"Same here." Lucy climbed of Natsu and sat a reasonable distance away. They sat in silence drinking their wine soaking up what they said.
Lucy looked around to see Natsu sleeping on her couch. She studied his sleeping face. It was so much peaceful. She stood up and walked over to him. She grabbed a pillow and placed it nearer him. She pushed his body down onto the pillow. She took of his sandals and placed them neatly at the side of her couch. She brushed his hair out of his face and stared at his lips. Lucy slowly leaned down and brushed her lips against his. She tasted his alcohol lips with her own. His lips were soft and tender. Before she woke him up or even and went any further, she retreated.
"Why don't you remember? Please remember, it would make telling you about Natsumi's father a whole lot easier." She whispered to him then headed to her bed.
Lucy sat in her recliner chair curled in a little ball. She was thinking how to tell Natsu. She was pondering how he would react to the news. Would he run away or gladly accept that he is the father? She would love to believe that he would accept it but he was a unexpected character.
"Lucy!" She was woken out of her daze when she saw Bisca was standing above her. "You forget to get Natsumi from school." Lucy eyes widened and started to climb out of the chair. "It's alright I collected her with Asuka, you owe me." Lucy followed the green woman's finger to see their children playing so well together.
"Thank you, Bisca."
"Anytime, you seem out of it. Is everything okay?" Lucy shook her head. The green haired woman sat on the chair beside Lucy.
"I was thinking of telling a certain someone that they are Natsumi's father." Bisca eyes widened. She never questioned who was the child's father but she was desperate to know who. Bisca wrapped her arms around her.
"You don't have too." Lucy nodded.
"She is being bulled at school because she is a fatherless child. They think I am a whore because they haven't seen the father." Bisca stood up and called Natsumi over. She ran towards her with a smile on her face.
"Are you being bullied because you don't know who you're father is?" The young girl nodded and ran to Lucy who picked her up and placed her on her knee. "What are you doing about it Lucy?"
"I complained to the school, it's not her fault." Lucy kissed her daughters forehead and let her rest into her chest.
Lucy watched as he life finally began to come back again. Natsu and Gray started arguing, which caused Elfman to get involved. After those three were fighting, the whole guild was in a brawl with one another. Lucy, Levi, Lisanna, Bisca, Juvia, Mira, Asuka and Natsumi sat at the bar laughing at the scene. Lucy could see in her daughters eyes that she was fascinated by the scene. The males were careful not to hurt the children or they would be dead by one of the devils minions.
The fight lasted a few minutes and the males walked up to the bar to get a drink. Natsu walked over to Lucy and Natsumi. He saw that Natsumi was still looking at where the fight had happened. He laughed and ruffled her hair.
"She seemed interested." Natsu said as he sat beside Lucy when Levi moved back to her original spot. He sipped on his juice.
"Yeah, she never took her eyes off the scene." Natsu laughed and watched the child run up to Romeo and begged him to spar with him. It was funny to see how forceful she was towards the older male. Romeo stood up and took the young girls hand and lead her outside. Lucy watched her daughter walk away with a young Conbolt.
"So Lucy." Natsu leaned on the counter leaning closer to Lucy. "Want to go out, tonight." Lucy blushed at his words
"L-like a date?" Natsu shrugged. Lucy laughed as he was acting very cute. "Sure, I want to tell you something."
"Okay, I'll see you at seven in front of the the cherry blossom tree." Lucy blushed and watched as she had her first official date with Natsu. She laughed and walked up to Macao, asking if it was possible for him to babysit for a while.
Lucy went home and changed into a black dress with a white belt around the middle. The skirt fell past her knees. The dress was low lying giving her some maturity. Her hair was tied up in her side pony tail. She was excited to meet Natsu and have a special date with him. She was going to tell him about Natsumi.
Lucy walked down the street and met Natsu at the cherry blossom tree. It was just starting to blossom. It's pink buds slightly sprouting. He was leaning against the tree with a smile on his face. He hadn't changed but he looked like he had washed. In front of him was a blanket and a basket. Lucy smiled as he walked over to her and lead her to her spot. He stepped over her and lay beside her on the blanket.
After the snacks that both of them loved they lay on the blanket looking up at the stars. Lucy was lying on his arm as he held her other hand that rested on his stomach. He played with her fingers. Swirling them on his palm. Feeling her soft touch and it glided on his skin.
"When you look up at the stars, do you ever think about your celestial spirits?"
"All the time." She lifted her hand and pointed to the sky. "That constellation is Loke. The one beside him is Aries." Natsu smiled as she was able to recognise her spirits form so far away. He stared at her face as she looked up at her friends, shining on them. Lucy turned her head were she grazed her nose past Natsu's.
"Do you ever think of me when I'm not around." He stared into her eyes.
"All the time." She gently whispered as they leaned in and brushed their lips against one another. Natsu placed his hand on Lucy's waist, pulling her deeper into the kiss. Lucy didn't question him and melted into the kiss further. Their lips glided past one another's with ease. Natsu rolled over and lay on top of Lucy. His tongue licked her bottom lips begging for entrance. Lucy gladly gave him permission and he slipped his tongue inside her mouth. He searched the cavern like he had never done it before. Lucy didn't feel it but a tears slipped down her face. Natsu feeling the tears on his hand stopped the kiss with a string of saliva connecting the two.
"Lucy what is wrong?" Natsu rolled off her and stayed in front of her. Lucy sat up and hugged her knees. Natsu gently placed a hand on her knee. "Please, tell me. Was it something I have done?" Lucy slowly nodded. Natsu's eyes widened. He hadn't realised that he had done something. "Tell me what have I done?"
"Answer me this, was this our first kiss?" Natsu thought about it and nodded his head. Lucy shook her head. "This is our second kiss." She clearly stated. Natsu's eyes widened at the fact he couldn't remember his first kiss with Lucy.
"When was our first kiss?" He asked with sadness and anger in his eyes. Not at Lucy but at himself.
"It was the night before you left to go to the S-Class promotion event." Natsu leaned forward and embraced Lucy in a hug. "It was also the first time he had sex together." Natsu held Lucy close to him as she began to sob.
"We have had sex?" Lucy nodded against his shoulder. "Did you like it? Was I gentle?" Lucy laughed at his series of questions.
"I loved it since I was with you and yes you were gentle."
"Not that I don't believe you but it's hard to take in that I, the flame head idiot had sex with you, an intelligent, sexy, celestial spirit." Lucy went into her bag and pulled out the note he left 7 years ago. Natsu took the the note and looked over it, slightly laughing at his words.
Four words at the bottom of the page really hit him. "I love you, Lucy." He read allowed for Lucy to hear. She began to cry. Natsu pulled her closer and read the back of the note.
"I believe you." He said after he had finished reading the note. Lucy placed her hands on his shoulder and pushed herself back to face him.
"You know when people have intercourse without protection it leads to unexpected pregnancy's" Natsu still looked confused at her words.
"We had sex without protection...what I'm really trying to say is that your Natsumi's father." His eyes widened, body had frozen still, mouth was a gape. "Natsu, say something. Anything. Run away, just do something." Natsu finally blinked after sometime.
"Sorry Lucy, are you sure?" Lucy nodded her head slowly.
"I have only had sex once and that was with you. I'm pretty sure that you are her biological father." Natsu stood up and started pacing.
"That's great, I'm a father." Natsu looked at her worried face. He kneeled back down and kissed her lips.
When he broke the kiss, he leaned his head on her forehead.
"I love you, I really do. Lucy, if it is alright with you, I want to be part of Natsumi's life." Lucy jumped on him and wrapped his arms around his neck, pushing him to the ground. Natsu laughed and flipped them around.
"I take that it is yes." Lucy nodded and pulled him down to embrace her in a hug. Natsu stood up and handed his hand out to Lucy who gladly accepted his hand.
"Lets get you to the guild, Natsumi will be worried about you." Lucy smiled as they held hands as they as the walked back to the guild.
Natsumi was sitting on the chair beside Macao eating a dinner that Kinana made for her. Mira watched as she made it for her. The woman was slowly warming up to Lucy's kid. She loved that every time she asked for something she would say please and thank you. Macao was helping her use her chopsticks. She slammed her hands against the desk. Macao was trying to calm her down but she was getting far too hot for him to touch.
"Flames of rage, who knew you could use it." She began sobbing onto the table. Kinana took the food away from her so it couldn't upset her further.
She picked her head up from the table when she heard her mother, coming closer to the guild. She began smiling when she saw her mother walk through the doors, alone. Lucy kneeled down allowing her to run into her arms. She stroked her daughters hair.
"Why have you been crying? She said as she placed her daughter in her hip.
"I...can't...do...it." She sobbed through her words.
"Do what?" Lucy looked behind her to see Macao holding up, two wooden sticks. Lucy hugged her tighter. "Listen sweetheart, if you can't use them then don't. You will slowly get the hang of it. Now I have good news. I was talking to your daddy and he wants to be apart of our lives. What do you say?" Natsumi looked over Lucy's shoulder.
"As long as he is not mean to me or you." Lucy laughed and watched as Natsu came in.
"Is that enough for you, Natsu." The male smiled as he held out his hands to Natsumi, who leaned into his arms. She touched his face, inspecting her father. Natsu smiled as his daughter hugged him into his arms.
"I'm going to love you, daddy." Natsu smiled at her words. He hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Daddy, will love you back." Macao stood up and walked up to Lucy. He kissed her head as Natsu held his daughter. Lucy wrapped her arms around Macao's waist.
"So much of the stress is off me now, since he has come home." Macao kissed her head. "I'm so happy." She cried into his chest. Macao removed Lucy's hands from his waist and placed them around Natsu. The pink haired male shifted Natsumi to his hip as he put an arm around Lucy.
"This is so nice." Natsu said as he kissed Lucy's hair. Natsumi kissed Natsu's cheek and he put her on the ground. She ran around in circles around members of the guild, shouting, "I have a daddy." Romeo smiled as she ran up to him to him then ran way from him running up to everyone.
"So who is your father?" Bisca asked as she kneeled down. Natsumi ran away and stood at Natsu's legs. The male picked her up and hugged her. The rest of the guild slightly hit themselves as they didn't realise Natsu was in Natsumi.
"Natsu, you are the father but you said to me that you...never had sex befor?." Gray asked as he walked up to the family.
"Yes, I am. Gray, I don't remember but I did and I'm happy about it." He said as he snaked an arm around Lucy's waist.
Natsu and Lucy was bombarded with many questions, mainly Lucy, since she could remember. They tried to answer them all but some questions became hard to answer for the pair. They headed home when Lucy and Natsumi became tired.
Natsu sat on his daughters bed and read her a story goodnight. She seemed so into the stories he made up on the spot. She lay on her arm as she fell asleep. Natsu pulled the covers up and kissed her hair.
He left the room to join Lucy in her room. She was undressing into her underwear. Natsu froze when he saw her standing in her only clad in her underwear. She folded her arms around her body. Natsu smiled and walked up to her and pulled her into a hug.
"You look very beautiful." Natsu began to kiss her neck. He nipped at the hot skin. He moaned every time Lucy moaned his name. "I love you, Lucy. Will you be my girlfriend." Lucy kissed him gently and lay on the bed. Natsu stripped and crawled into bed beside Lucy. She curled up into his side. She lay her head on his chest. Natsu shifted his body to get comfortable.
"This is a start of seven years of no love from you." Lucy kissed his chest gently. Natsu fell asleep with Lucy loving his chest.
He woke up when there was a small presence was behind him. He saw that Lucy was facing away from him but he was right behind her. He looked behind him to see Natsumi hugging a plush version of Happy.
"Daddy, I had a nightmare. Can I sleep with you?" Natsu looked to Lucy who was already awake. She nodded and moved away from Natsu. He picked Natsumi and placed her in the middle. Lucy placed an arm around her and fell asleep. Natsu looked at their faces and cuddled into the females.
Lucy and Natsu were sitting in the guild beside each other. They were talking with each other naturally. Gray and Erza sat beside the couple.
"Oh Natsu, this is for you." Lucy gave him a letter. He slowly opened it and a few pictures fell out. They were cut out from Sorcery Weekly. He saw a picture of Lucy holding a child. He looked on the back to see someone wrote '28th May, the day your child was born.' Natsu smiled as he saw the day his daughter was born. There was many pictures of her walking, Lucy cheering, his daughters 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th birthday. There was a letter addressed to Natsu.
"If you are reading this Natsu, I guess that you have returned to my daughters side and found out that Natsumi is your daughter. I want to say thank you for being there for my daughter and my granddaughter. I know I don't have long, so I will leave it in your hands to protect your family. I would of loved to congratulate you in person but I can't. Please love and cherish them. When Lucy was in labour, she wished that you were beside her through it. Please make them happy and be there for her.
Love from Jude Heartfillia, aka your father-in-law." Natsu read to himself.
Natsu heard grunting from outside and headed to the back door. He saw his daughter sparring with Romeo. He smiled when he saw fire coming from her feet. He saw her panic when she lost control of the flames. He rushed towards Natsumi and absorbed the fire.
"Daddy, I'm scared." Natsu hugged her and patted her head. "I can't control them." Natsu kissed her head.
"I'll help you." Natsu held out his hand where a fire started. She smiled as she saw her daddy was a fire wielder just like her. "Sit on the floor and cross your legs." Natsumi did as she was told. "Imagine a fire circling around you. Command it to move the way you want it to. If you get scared, just breath and I will help." Natsu sat in the circle beside his daughter.
"A circle." Natsumi whispered. They boys watched as a circle of fire surrounded them. "Now raise higher." She spoke to herself.
After a few hours she was finally able to control the power she had. Natsu leaned back on the wall with his daughter in his legs. She was playing with the fire in her fingers.
"Daddy, will controlling the power, stop my head from hurting." Natsu nodded and kissed her head. She laughed and jumped up. "Daddy fight with me." Natsu smiled and stood up.
"Come at me." Natsu said. His daughter charged at him and he picked her up and placed her on his shoulder. "I'm not going to fight with you. You are my daughter." She smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Daddy, I love you. Now, fight me." Natsu kissed her head.
"Fight me, when you have a really strong flames. I'll help you get there." Natsu placed his daughter on the ground and headed back inside to hear Master Makarov's news.
This is a small two-shot. I really hoped you like it. Sorry this chapter was so long.
