Kaida walked slowly into her parents' bedroom to find them both still asleep, she smiled. Natsu was holding Lucy close to him and Lucy was smiling. Kaida loved her parents and was happiest when the family was all together.

She climbed onto the bed and wiggled her way in between them. When she was here, she knew she was safe. She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

Kaida woke to the sound of her parents talking softly, she listened silently.

"I'm fine, just a little cough."Natsu insisted. Lucy frowned.

"You feel really warm." she said with concern, Natsu took her hands, he seemed to be amused by the comment.

"Lucy, I always feel warm, I'm a-"

"Yeah, I know. But you're not always this warm, and that cough didn't sound good. I think you should lie down." Kaida opened her eyes to see her father standing in the corner of the room with her mother. Natsu suddenly turned from Lucy, coughing harshly. Lucy reached up and ran her fingers through his hair.

"See, that sounds awful, It looks like you've got a cold, lie down, you should take time to rest. You're a little pale."

"I'll be alright, you don't have to worry." Lucy leaned in, resting her head on his chest.

"Last time this happened it got really bad and-"

"Dragon slayers don't get sick too often, you hadn't seen it before, it looked worse than it was."Natsu soothed.

"Mommy, is Daddy okay?" Kaida asked sitting up in bed, rubbing her eyes.

"Hey little dragon, everything's fine."Her father said.

"But Mommy said you are coughing, when it happens to me, it is because I feel icky. Do you feel icky Daddy?"

"I'm alright Kaida." the child looked at her father for a long moment. She climbed down from the bed and walked over to them. Kaida threw her arms around Natsu.

"It's okay to feel icky daddy, I still love you and mommy does too. When I feel icky, you and Mommy tell me to take naps, you should have one too. Come on Daddy." Kaida took Natsu's hand and led him to him bed, Lucy watched in amusement.

"Okay Daddy, I will tuck you in so you will be happy and warm. Lay down, I can do it just like you and Mommy do."

"Kaida-"Natsu began but found himself being cut off by a sneeze.

"Poor Daddy, I love you very much, it's okay to take a nap, I promise I'll take care of Mommy and you" The salamander turned to his wife.

"Go on, lie down and rest." Lucy encouraged. "Don't let it get to the way it was last time." Natsu lowered himself onto the bed.

"Are you sure, it's a big job to take care of your family."

"I know, I'm a big girl now, I'm five and I'm your little dragon. I can do it."

"Alright Kaida" Natsu ruffled his daughter's hair causing her to giggle as he laid back against his pillows. The child pulled the blanket over her father and kissed his forehead.

"Don't worry daddy, I'll take good care of you." She said.

"I'm not worried baby, I know you will."

"I know what to do, Mommy will you come help me please?" Lucy moved to the bed.

"What do you need help with?" She asked allowing Kaida to take her hand.

"When I feel sick, you and daddy bring me juice, we should get some for my daddy." Lucy grinned.

"That's a great idea Kaida, come on." Kaida waved to Natsu.

"Bye-bye Daddy, don't worry, Mommy will come back with me and we will have juice. We won't leave you forever."

"That's good to know, I would miss you guys."

"Yes, we would be so sad without you too. I'm happy you're going to stay with us." Kaida said leading her mother from the room. Natsu couldn't help but smile. His daughter never ceased to amaze him.
