This is a story about Natsu Dragneel, a single dad of 25 and his son Happy who has recently celebrated his fifth birthday. Natsu lost his wife at the birth of his son and hasn't returned to his hometown, Magnolia, ever since. Instead, he's been living far from there; until now.

Recently, Natsu got a promotion at his work, but he would have to move back to Magnolia for that job again. He accepted the promotion and pretty soon after, he and Happy moved back to Magnolia.

"Have fun at school Happy!", Natsu yelled after his son as he waved goodbye and got back into the car to get to his first day of work. He looked as the blue haired kid ran off into the school gates and drove off in the direction of Magnolia Inc. A business company specialized in making fire fighter uniforms and other necessities for fire fighters. He would be starting there today as the assistant director of the part located in Magnolia that made sure everything was fireproof.

He parked his car in the reserved spot and walked to the reception. A woman with short purple hair was answering a phone call behind the counter, her name tag said Laki. When she put down the phone she asked "How can I help you today sir?"

"I'm Natsu Dragneel. I was transferred here from Clover.", Natsu explained the girl. "Oh yeah. The new assistant director. I'll call someone to show you around.", Laki said and picked up the phone again "Juvia, could you come down to show our new assistant director around?" she asked and when she put down the phone once again she told Natsu "Juvia will come in a moment to show you around. She's a nice person that's also very reliable.", Laki praised her when suddenly a blue haired girl told her "Don't say that Laki. If you keep praising me like that, Juvia will never be ableto live up to the expectations of our new assistant manager."

Natsu looked at her and felt a certain feeling of nostalgia as he looked at her hair that had the exact same colour of his deceased wife. "I'm Juvia Loxar. If you have any questions, you can rely on Juvia.", she told him and Laki explained "Juvia here is our manager, she was the assistant manager before you so she can help you with everything you need."

"Now, how about we get started?", she asked him and Natsu nodded "Sure," he said as he followed the bluenette into the halls of the company's building.

As the day passed and Natsu was done with work, he drove back to Happy's school. He waited outside the school gates when suddenly a flash of blue appeared in the corner of his eye "Natsu-san?" the already familiar voice he had met today said "Juvia?" Natsu said surprised as he turned around to indeed see his boss standing at the same school. "What brings Natsu-san here?", she asked as she walked towards him. "I'm picking up my son from school," Natsu told her. She looked pretty surprised when he told her that. "Natsu-san has a kid?", she asked surprised. "Yeah. Why are you so surprised?", he asked the bluenette. "Because Natsu-san is still so young. Is Natsu-san married then?", she asked and Natsu shook his head "In a certain way I am," he said as he pulled his necklace from underneath his shirt. When y/n had died he started wearing their wedding rings together on a necklace. "But my wife died at birth.", he explained as he put his necklace back into his shirt.

"Oh. Juvia didn't...", she stammered "It's okay Juvia. You couldn't possibly know. But, what brings you here?"

"Juvia is also here to pick up her kids from school.", she told her pink haired co-worker "Aren't you a bit too young then as well?", he mockingly asked her. She pouted as she realised that he was mocking her. "I'm just kidding. Are you married then?"

"Well, Juvia still is at the moment but Juvia's husband left Juvia the moment he knew they were getting twins. He said he wouldn't be able to handle it. So now I'm alone with my kids.", she said and looked down after. Was it really okay to just tell Natsu everything. She had just met him today too. "But Juvia's okay.", she reassured him. The last thing she wanted was to have him all over her because he thought she was sad because of what had happened in the past. The past was the past, she couldn't change it and wouldn't want to either way. She was much happier with how things were right now. "That figures. You look like a strong woman to me.", Natsu said just as the school bell rang to indicate the end of school.

Happy walked out of the school with his new friends. Twins named Gray and Ultear. They had raven hair and bright blue eyes. When he suddenly saw the familiar pink hair waiting for him at the school gates, he started running towards his dad. "Daddy!", Happy yelled. Natsu turned around and crouched down with his arms open. Happy ran into his arms and Natsu gave him a hug. When he let go he asked "How was your first day?"

"Amazing! I made a lot of new friends and. Oh.", Happy said as he ran off again and came back with two kids, a boy and a girl, that looked just like each other. "These are my new best friends. this is Gray," he said as he pointed to the boy "and this is Ur." he said as he pointed to the girl. Natsu ruffled Happy's hair and flashed him a smile. "Then Juvia believes our kids have taken a liking to each other.", Juvia said to Natsu and Natsu had a questioning look on his face until his realised "Those are your kids."

Juvia nodded and said "Juvia will see you tomorrow Natsu-san. We still have to go grocery shopping."

"Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow.", Natsu said as he walked off to their car with Happy.

When they had arrived at home, Happy ran off to play while Natsu got dinner started. When dinner was ready, they ate together and watched a movie after dinner. When it got late, they both went to bed but not long after, Happy sneaked into Natsu's room to sleep with him. "Hey dad?" he asked and got nothing more than a hum in response from the tired pinket "Who was that woman you were talking to at school?" Natsu turned around to look at his son "That was Juvia. She works at the same place I do. She's a nice person." Natsu said as his answer was immediately responded with yet an other question

"Do you like Juvi-nee?" Natsu was taken back by this question. Why did kids always ask such ridiculous questions? And where did 'Juvi-nee' come from? "No. I only met her today and I was a bit intrigued by her. She looks like your mother. Why'd you ask?", Natsu asked his son. "Maybe you'd fall in love with her at first sight. You did say she looks like mama.", Happy proposed to Natsu. "Silly you," Natsu said as he ruffled Happy's hair "Such things don't exist in real life."
