I know it's only short, but here is another chapter to the story. One day I just had this little idea that floated into my head, I thought it was so cute, so here it is for all you guys. I will upload another chapter later on today. So hope you enjoy.


Nashi Dragneel

The baby wailed uncontrollably in her crib, waving her tiny arms in the air and kicking her legs in a tantrum like manner. Natsu had no idea how to calm her down, instead he watched her have her screaming fit till she was red in the face before eventually sleeping it off. He shuffled the blankets around her body and observed her. Everything about her was petite. Her head was round and fragile, her fingers were scrawny, and her body was tiny. When she breathed her teeny chest rose up, then back down with her bottom lip pouting just like her mother. He smirked at this. Her light pink hair was flung behind her head, making her look somehow bald. Again, Natsu chuckled, letting out a gasp as the sweet infant's eyes opened curiously, revealing her milky brown eyes. He clasped his mouth with his hands and looked over the crib as the baby giggled at him, her hands reaching out for touch.

Natsu was always unsure on holding his child, since the moment she was born he was surprised to have her placed in his arms wrapped in a blanket. Surely he was amazed by her presence but holding her was an issue. Lucy had told him that babies are delicate, like glass. Drop them, you'll damage them. That was the best way she could describe it, after all Natsu destroyed everything he touched hence why Lucy never really let him hold their child for long periods of time. But now was his chance.

His child was reaching up to him. She wanted her father to hold her. Biting his lip, he reached down, curling his arms around the baby's body, making sure to support the head as much as possible before lifting her up. She giggled once more as Natsu concentrated on getting her up and out of the crib safety and into his arms.

It wasn't so bad. He hadn't dropped her, even though she wriggled and fumbled around. His strong arms had hold of her well. And once he was sure, he released one arm so the other could caress her face, brushing her hair from her eyes.

"Hi Nashi" he coos. "I'm your daddy" he smiles at the phrase. Daddy was a word he would soon need to get used to. Surprisingly for him, Nashi responds by murmuring soft sounds. Her little hands reaching out to touch his face as she smiles brightly. "I'm going to look after you Nashi, I promise. I'll take good care of you" he tells her. "I'll take you to the park, you can come with me to the guild, and we can play pranks on your mommy. Your life will never be a bore" he grins proudly as the baby watches him, her eyes sparkling. "I have to put you back now, but you'll be a good girl won't you? No crying in the night and waking me and mommy up…that's what bad girls do" he smirks as he slowly attempts to place her back into the crib, only for someone to get in the way. A hand rested on his shoulder, massaging it as he turns to his girlfriend. Lucy beamed at him, gently pulling her daughter from his arms and rocking her in a slow settling rhythm.

"You did well, I'm proud of you Natsu" she whispers. "You go and get some rest, I'll finish up here" she rocked her daughter in her arms, watching the male slowly pass her by. She expected him to show some affection towards her, as she leant her head back expecting a subtle kiss to be planted on her lips, but instead there was nothing. He was already gone, possibly already curled up in the sheets and snoring his head off. She sighed at this, looking down at Nashi with a weak smile. "Guess daddy's too tired to show mommy any love…never mind eh little pop" she yawns, leaning over the crib to place Nashi back in her sheets. "Mommy loves you, I always will"
