AN: Hi, this is the first fanficition that I actually published so I really appreciate it if you review what you think about my story (will chapter, but whatever). feel free to criticize me, but I kindly ask you to do it with kind words. Thank you (=^.^=).

I don't own fairy tail.

There was an explainable feeling in his chest, a mixture of sensations he never experienced before. The moment he laid his eyes on it … No, not it, her. The moment he laid his eyes on her he felt a lot of emotions all at once. Happiness, adoration, awe, excitement, fear.

But most of all, the most dominant of: love and protectiveness.

He fell in love almost instantly with the little creature lying in his arms. The way she moved her head right and left to check her surroundings. The way she blinked at him innocently earlier in awe and curiosity and wonder.

The way she looked at him and kept following him with her eyes.

When she was laid in his arms and she almost instantly fell asleep peacefully like it was the safest place in the world. He knew he was being a bit ridiculous with the fact that she a few months old baby, but he couldn't help it. He already knew that he was wrapped around her little fingers and he would give her anything she needed or desired in the days to come.

He swore on his life that he will protect her and see that no harm ever befalls her. That he would protect her innocence. That he will ensure that her life is filled with happiness, to the point that if there is any pain or sadness it wouldn't affect her greatly.

But most of all, he swore, that he will shower her with love and make sure she knows she has family that love her and will protect her.

A few tears escaped his eyes as he gazed at her little sleeping face.

His little sister. His precious little Alma Dreyar.

The master of fairy tail watched his 16 year old grandson and his newly born granddaughter. He smiled as he saw the emotions written all over his and even saw the tears that managed to escape his eyes. Alma has only been here for a few hours and already managed to capture her big brother's heart. He was happy as this is the first time that Laxus has shown emotions other than anger ever since Ivan has been exiled.

Laxus has turned to look at his grandfather and noticed the smile on his face. He felt his cheeks warm up a little as he knew his grandfather has seen him gazing at Alma so he said "Hey old man, what's the date of Alma's birthday?"

Laxus frowned as he heard his grandfather's answer of "January 27th" and said "that was 3 months ago. Why am I just meeting her now?"

Makarov looked sadly at his grandson and told him "sit down so I can tell. It's going to be a considerably long story."

As Laxus sat down for the fact that Alma was still in his arms and he didn't want to accidently drop her, his grandfather began telling him of the events that happened:

"When Ivan has been exiled and took your mother with him she was 3 months pregnant. At the time she didn't know and when she found out your father has ordered her not tell anybody, and because of the amount of love Liliya has held for your father she agreed, until a couple of weeks ago.

She heard Ivan when she was going to her room talking to someone. Telling to his subordinate to go fetch Alma, specifically ; for he had a dragon slayer lacrima and wanted to implant it within her, claiming that if she had while she was a child she will become strong like he desired.

Liliya, the loving person that she was couldn't handle that thought. She remembered you and the pain you went through after the lacrima had been implanted in you and couldn't handle the thought of letting her other child suffer like the first one, so she packed a couple of things and fled with Alma in the middle of the night.

She told her cousin everything and stayed with her in a small village until she caught a deadly disease and died shortly after before they brought her a cure. Her cousin thought that she wasn't ready to raise a child but at the same time didn't want to return Alma to Ivan for she knew that a terrible fate would befall if she stayed with him, so she contacted me. And that is why I had been gone the last couple of days ago. To retrieve Alma."

Laxus felt his heart clench painfully in his chest as he looked at his little angel, for that is exactly what she was. And he couldn't believe how his father could think about doing such a horrible thing to her.

How could he have been so cruel to do this to a defenseless baby, much less his own daughter?

Suddenly he was very glad that his grandfather exiled him from the guild, because of he was still here he couldn't imagine what would have happened to his baby angel otherwise.
