There were flowers everywhere. In Cobra's hair, tucked behind his ears, stuffed into his shirt, jacket, pants, and boots. Though there was no feeling of resentment at all. Nope, he was rather happy sitting there being decked out with the small blossoms. And if anyone dared to speak up the thoughts swirling in their souls, he would go on a bloodlust rampage later. Because this was all for a good purpose, making his girls happy.

It was still a shock to the damn Fairies and his stupid guildmates that he and Lucy had hooked up. More-so was announcing it in the manner they had to their guilds. Of course, they could have planned it a bit better. Lucy had stood upon the bartop and yelled, getting every last person's attention. Than announced she had been dating him for a year, mated for two months, and was pregnant. Yeah, death had seemed to want to knock on his door from the Hammer wielding bitch, because he besmirched Lucy's Honor.

He had told her to besmirch her honor with the retarded knock off the blueberry pop tart. That had silenced her as he got to watch the poor woman flush as bright as her hair, and get all giddy next to his guild master, who was torn between wanting to take him to task for his rude comments, and doing as he had suggested. Nope, he knew that all the Dragon Slayers were well aware of the nature of their relationship after he had returned Lucy two months ago. None were happy that he had marked her as his mate, but they also were mature enough to accept that when instincts kicked in you did what you had to.

Now, four years later, Cobra was sitting outside the Fairies damn guild hall, letting his triplet daughters deck him out in pretty little flowers. Keeping their attention focused on him so that they didn't freak out about mommy being gone more than a day or two. Anything in the world he would give for all of his girls. This was a small price to pay.
