Vera: WE GOT LIKE 18 REVIEWS! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

Akarui: Too bad we don't own Fairy Tail... :'(

Vera: Ikr?

Both: Sigh...Hope you like it!

Everyone froze. "Mommy?" they all shouted, eyes wide.

Lucy blinked, and nodded. "Yeah, you didn't figure that out?" she asked them.

Only a few girls didn't shake their heads. Lucy sighed. "You guys are idiots, just like before..." she smiled sadly.

Everyone smiled, and started talking. Lucy was about to turn to Natsu, when a flying ball of blue fur slammed into the blonde holding her daughter.

"Lushy!" he cried.

Lucy staggered back and Ayame shrieked, afraid of being dropped, and the blue ball that attacked her mother.

The blonde laughed, and used her free hand to hold the cat. "Happy!" she laughed, petting his head.

"Lushy! Why'd you go? Did Natsu do something wrong while you were toge-mphf!" he cried, until Lucy covered his mouth.

"Oh that's enough Happy. No Natsu didn't do anything wrong. No one did." she said.

"Then why'd you leave Lucy?" Erza asked.

Lucy winced, and took a small step back.

Ayame noticed this almost instantly. "Hey!" the pinkette cried, pointing one small finger at the red head. "Don't talk to Mommy like that! She did what she did because she chose to!"

Lucy sighed, shaking her head. "Crap...I was worried what would happen when she met Erza..." she muttered, quietly so no one would hear. But Natsu did of course. "She's gonna end up like her father..."

Natsu had been watching the blonde quietly, something unusual for him. When he heard her talk about Ayame's 'father' he got curious.

"Who is her father Luce?" he asked her.

Everyone went quiet. Lucy visibly flinched. Happy had already flown off to find some fish, happy that Lucy was now back home.

"Mommy?" Ayame asked, looking up at her mother with wide eyes.

Slowly Lucy bent down and placed her daughter on the ground. "Ayame, everything's alright. Why don't you go find Levy alright? I showed you pictures of her. Go and hang out with Levy and everyone else. Mommy has to talk to Natsu now." she told her.

Hesitantly Ayame nodded, and ran off, looking for the blue haired bookworm.

Getting up, the blonde turned to face Natsu. He grabbed her wrist gently and led her outside, much to Lucy's happiness. She didn't want to be amongest everyone in the guild while having this discussion.

"Who's her father Luce?" he asked once they were outside. "Because when you left, we were together. What happened?"

Lucy blinked rapidly, trying to stop the tears from coming out again, her head down so her bangs covered her eyes. "First off, Natsu...Nothing happened between me and someone else. I was in love with you and only you." she whispered, knowing he would hear her.

"Then why'd you leave Luce? I loved you too! It broke my heart when you left! We went looking for you a week later, once Ji-chan gave us permission to track you! But after a couple days the signal was gone! One day almost 3 years ago there was a blip and we found out you were near Lamia Scale! We went there but no one had seen you! I get now that you asked them not to tell anyone you were there, but why Lucy? Why did you run? Why did you leave me?" he shouted.

Lucy put her hand over his mouth to stop him. "Lower your voice...Please...Sh-she'll hear you..."

Natsu moved her hand. "Who Luce? Wendy and Gajeel are the only one's who could hear, and there is too much noise-"

"No...Not them...Ayame will...She never wanders to far." she interupted him.

"How could she hear us?"

"Natsu..." she looked up at him.

He took a deep breath, staring at the blonde and her shoulders started to shake again.

"She's your daughter Natsu..." she whispered.

Natsu's eyes widened. "M...My...My daughter...?" he asked.

Lucy nodded. "I'm sorry I ran! I don't know why I did, but something made me run!" she cried. "Something in me kept telling me to stay away, it's telling me to run even now, but I couldn't! I didn't want to run away from the only real home I've ever known! And Ayame deserves to know who her father is! She deserves to know what guild she truly belongs to! Not Lamia Scale! Not Blue Pegasas! Fairy Tail! She belongs in Fairy Tail!" she whispered the end.

Natsu just stared at her. After a moment he opened his mouth to speak but Lucy stopped him.

"I'm not asking you to get back together with me Natsu. I know you're dating Lisanna right now. I could tell she was jealous when you hugged me. It's alright. The only thing I want is that you to accept your daughter. She needs her father in her life. That's all I want." she whispered, wiping her tears away.

Since she had already been crying, her eyes didn't change that much, they were already red.

Quickly, she grabbed Natsu and hugged him tightly, whispering a soft "Thank you...", so soft that he almost didn't hear it. She released him and quickly disapeared inside the guild, leaving him shocked staring down the street.

xXx

Ayame sighed, frustrated, running a hand through her pink locks. She looked up at all the people around her. "Argh!" she shouted, startling a few people nearby. She went up to the first person she saw and tugged on their pants leg until they looked down.

"Ayame?" a blue haired girl with glasses on asked.

"Where's Levy McGarden?" she asked, cutting right to the chase.

The girl smiled. "That's me! I'm Levy. Did Lu-chan send you to find me?" she asked.

Ayame smiled and nodded. "Yeah! Mommy told me to find Levy, the girl I'd seen in the photo's she took before I was born, while she talked to Mr. Natsu!"

"Well come on then! While your Mama talks to her best friend, let's go to the bar and meet Mira again. She's a little upset that you cried when she picked you up." Levy said and bent down, picking Ayame up.

The pinkette squeaked in protest, while blushing at the same time. She hadn't meant to upset Ms. Mirajane, but she didn't know these people!

As Levy walked them towards the bar, and the pinkette recovered she asked the question plagueing her mind. "How come you and Mommy were close friends?"

Levy laughed at that. "Alright, well first answer me this. How many books does your mother carry around with her?"

Ayame thought for a minute. "Normally she has at least 20! At our last home, before we came here, Eve, Hibiki, and Ren would babysit me while Mommy read a book in the Blue Pegasus guild! Sometimes Ichiya would be with them!"

Levy laughed even harder, the little girl in her arms feeling the vibrations. "Real quick, how long was it before your mom let the Trimens and Ichiya babysit you?"

Ayame was quiet again as she thought. "About...2 maybe 3 months?" she said not quiet sure.

Levy laughed again. "Good thing Lu-chan kept her smarts. Well anyway, back to your question. Books. I asked you how many books your mother had. I'm Levy McGarden resident bookworm of Fairy Tail!" she said, setting Ayame down on a bar stool and winked at her. Ayame smiled. "Your mother is a bookworm too, and we hit it off. She was writing a novel when she left. She said I'd be the first one to read it. Do you know anything about that Aya-chan?" she asked, sitting down next to her on a stool.

Ayame tilted her head to the side. "'Aya-chan'?" she asked.

"Oh! Can I call you that sweetie? It's like I call your mom Lu-chan! I'd be calling you Aya-chan!" she explain.

"Alright then..." Ayame said, forgetting the blue-haired girl's question, while she looked around the room. "Mommy said this place was magical. It doesn't seem that way to me..." she stated.

Levy sweatdropped. "Well Aya-chan, it is magical. Just not in the way your thinking. See those guys over there?" she asked pointing at more than half the guilds population fighting. Ayame nodded. "There are all idiots." she stated. Ayame nodded in understanding.

"Loke said that too, but I didn't trust him on that...Cause sometimes he says stuff that just don't sound right, and things that Mommy tells him to shut up, before she shuts him up." she explained. Levy nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, when Loke was here, before Lucy figured out he was a celestial spirit, he was a womanizer." Levy said, as Mira came up to them. "Oh! Mira! Aya-chan has something to tell you, right Aya-chan?" Levy asked the blushing pinkette.

"U-um...I'm s-sorry for...for crying when you picked me up...M-ms. Mirajane..." she murmered, looking down, her bangs covering her face.

Mira squealed instantly at the cute pinkette. "OH! Aya-chan!" she shouted and grabbed the girl, pulled her over the counter, hugging her to death.

Ayame blushed again but hugged the white haired girl back none the less. Levy smiled.

"Mira does that all the time, so you'll get used to it!" Levy informed the younger girl. The pinkette nodded.

After a few moments of squeezing the girl to death, Mira set her down, back in her chair. "So! Aya-chan, you can call me Auntie Mira alright! No need to call me Ms. Mirajane! Auntie Mira works just fine."

Ayame nodded. "Alright Auntie Mira!" she chirped happily, as she spun in her chair.

While Mira went to get drinks for some people, and Ayame spun in her chair, Levy looked around the guild, trying to see if Lucy had come back inside. She didn't see her fellow bookworm, but she did see a familiar red head walking towards them.

"Ah! Erza!" Levy called, and waved. Erza smiled and sat down on the bar stool on the other side of Ayame.

Looking at the pinkette, happily spinning in her chair, she asked. "Hi sweetie what's your name?" she asked. Of course she already knew the girls name, but it just seemed right to introduce herself this way.

Ayame stopped spinning in her chair, and looked at the girl that spoke. 'That's the lady who made Mommy flinch! She's kinda scary looking too...' she thought.

"You look scary, so I'm not gonna tell you! Hmph!" she said and turned away, facing Levy again.

Erza froze, while Levy's eyes widened.

After a moment the guild doors opened again to reveal a still red-eyed Lucy re-enter the guild. Ayame noticed her mother instantly, and jumped off the barstool and ran to her.

"Mommy!" she shouted.

"Yes what is it sweetie?" Lucy asked, looking at her daughter who was running towards her.

"Mommy you lied to me! They're not magical! They're idiots!" she cried, pointing at the group of fighting men.

Everyone sweatdropped, while Lucy burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! I'm sorry Ayame. They are idiots, but they are very magical. You might see why one day but I hope you never will." the blonde said, wiping tears from her eyes.

"Why's that Mommy?" she asked.

"Because when they never mess around is when someone threatens their nakama. You remember that word right? Lyon and Sherry told you." Lucy explained. "Well Lyon did...Sherry still hated me back then..." she muttered to herself.

Ayame nodded. "Hey Mommy! When can we go see Uncle Lyon and Auntie Sherry? I miss seeing Uncle Lyon's ice magic! It was sooo cool!" she gigled.

Lucy smiled. "You think it was sooo cool, huh?" she asked, recieving an excited nod from the 5 year old. Lucy laughed. "Alright, time for you to meet Mommy's second best friend." she said and picked up her daughter and looked around the guild until she found a familiar raven haired boy in only his boxers.

Ayame watched her mother curiously as she looked for someone. "Who am I gonna meet...?" she asked, slightly scared to go into the group of fighting people.

"Oy! GRAY! Get your ass over here!" Lucy shouted amongst the group, making a few people jump back clutching their ears, mumbling complaints about Lucy's voice 'having gotten louder while she was gone'.

"Owww! Luce! Did ya have to scream in my ear?" the raven haired boy moaned, holding his ears.

"Oh would you rather I beat you up? Just because I had a daughter, didn't mean I stopped using magic. And speaking of my daughter, go put some clothes on. I don't want her to get a stripping habit like you and Lyon. At least Lyon only took his shirt off..." Lucy trailed off, looking at the ice mage up and down. She sighed. "Anyway, take care of her, don't give her a stripping habit, and see if you can make her like you more than Lyon!" she said, handing Gray the pinkette with a wink before wandering off to go find Mira. "Ayame! Make sure to tell him all about Uncle Lyon's magic!" Lucy said with a hidden smirk as she waved, her back to the two.

Gray blinked, somehow his clothes returning to their rightful position on his body. He then looked down at the 5 year old girl in his arms, who was staring back up at him. He instantly saw that the girl had her mother's eyes.

'This is gonna be a looong day...' he thought.
