Fairy Tail: Hiro Mashima
Knock, Knock,
First thing first, I change the son's name from Haru to Sting. Why? Because I like Sting; he is handsome and looks a lot like Lucy. Well, not really but who cares.
It's actually because, every time I said Haru; I keep imagining Haru from Free! (the anime with the too much abs) Lucy's son is blonde so I need to stop thinking about that Haru. And that is how I decided to pick Sting as Lucy's son.
Other than that; Lucy's character may be a bit off but that's because I want her to be that cool bad ass strong headed single mother type of woman (I have a wild imaginations people) Oh don't worry; she will be girlish and silly when she's around 'him'. Lol :p
And also, thank you so much for reading this story. Love u guys~
CHAPTER 2
"I Don't Like Him!"
"Sting! Get your lazy butt up, now or I'll send Lector back to the pet shop!"
"No! No! I'm up!"
.
.
.
"You are a very cruel woman. First, you took my happiness by moving into this useless town. Now, you threatened to return Lector- my only friend, back to the pet shop." Said Sting while covering his new pet cat's ears, "He could hear you, you know." He whispered.
The cat's meow when Sting patted his head. Lucy just rolled her eyes and muttered, "Drama queen." Both boys; including the cat hissed at Lucy. "Just don't go to sleep with him or sniffing him around. You're allergic to the cat's fur." She flicked the cat's ears.
Meow~
Sting just got a new pet cat; a brown colored male cat that he names it Lector. The getting-him-a-cat was part of Lucy's plan to make Sting go to school.
Why bribe him with a cat? Well, Lucy made a deal with Sting. If he goes to school. She will buy him a pet cat because Sting didn't want to go to school- more like, he hated his new school.
When Lucy told Sting that she enrolled him in a local public school, Magnolia High- the boy went ballistic. He was never a fan of public school; thanks to his rich grandfather who spoiled him too much. It took Lucy a lot of pleading and begging-
"Mom, do I have to attend this school?" He asked, "Why can't I just home schooled or something. I think I'm already smart enough to study on my own." The boy explained; while gently stroking Lector's fur.
"Look, you're going to love Magnolia High. I went there and it's not that bad." Said Lucy; trying to comfort her son. She really wanted Sting to attend this school because she already paid all the tuition bills. "Now come on, I just got you a new bike and go have fun with it. Show off, if that's going to make you feel better."
"That's not right. Why are you being a bad mother?" He said, "Have fun? You want me to really have fun with it?" Suddenly he grinned; a bunch of wild ideas popping up in his mind-
"If you skip school, I'll return him back." Said Lucy; now pointing her finger at Lector, "And the headmaster is my friend so don't even think about doing something stupid."
Meow~
"You heartless woman."
"And you're still in your boxer. Go change into your school uniform."
.

"I'm a crepe; I'm a weir-dough- Man, I sound so good."
Lucy Heartfilia sang happily as she kneads some dough for today's menu.
She is having the time of her life because she loves her job and she is certainly enjoying herself doing it. She could spend hours of just doing this, baking nonstop- no bratty children will annoy her, "This is what I was born to do." Said Lucy as she folded the thick dough roughly.
"I'm all fired up now." She kneads the dough again and again-
"Knock, knock."
"Hey boss." Lucy greeted Erza; she even saluted the scarlet haired woman.
"Hello dear." Erza walks into the kitchen; looking brighter than ever today, wearing an ocean blue sundress with a white cardigan making her stunning scarlet hair really stand out, "Guess who I just saw today?" She asked with a singsong voice.
At first, Lucy wanted to ignore her because she's having too much fun with the dough in her hands, "Oh, is it your beloved gorgeous husband?" She replied; grinning teasingly.
The scarlet haired woman laughed at Lucy's antics and playfully pushes her friend's arms, "No silly. It's your child's beloved gorgeous father." She said.
What?
"Anyway, I saw him. He really is in town!" Said the woman; almost shouting near Lucy's ears because of the too much excitement. "He's really here Lucy."
"So what?" Said Lucy; avoiding Erza's eye contact. With a bemused expression; she lied, "I saw him too. In fact, we just had a breakfast together this morning." Just trying to be sarcastic-
Erza push Lucy's arms again; this time she even squeezes it making Lucy yelps, "No you didn't. I talked to him okay. And boy- he looks like he hasn't aged a day."
"I'll tell Jellal you said that."
"Oh, and guess what- he is a photographer now and he got his own studio."
"So his dream really does come true." Said Lucy; trying hard not to be annoyed with the news, "Good for him." She then punches the dough roughly making a loud whack sound.
"O-Okay." Erza advert her eyes on the dough; poor dough, "And- And, his studio is just two blocks away. What a small world, huh?" The woman laughed; eyes still on the poor dough.
"What?" Lucy suddenly freezes; she let go the dough that she has been harshly punched and quickly wash her hands, "Erza. May I excuse myself to the store room for awhile?"
"Oh sure. You may."

"WHAT THE F-FU-FUDGE?! STUPID, STUPID FU-FUDGE!"
.
.
.
"Urm, Lucy. Sweetie. We can all hear you. The wall is not that thin."
.
.
.
"Lector- wanna hear what I did at school today?"
Meow~
"Well, I didn't go to school."
Meow~
"Chill. Mom won't be mad. It's only the first day."
Meow~
"Don't worry. I'm not gonna let her take you away."
Meow~
"Awe, I love you too."
.
(Doorbell ringing)
Meow~
"Oh, that's probably the pizza guy."
Sting hops excitedly towards the door, followed by Lector, "I'm getting us some tuna- pizza to celebrate my first day of school." He opened the door, "You're not the pizza guy?"
It was the same man who came by last week; the pink haired guy. "And you're still here." He said; looking irritated.
"Dude, what do you want?" Asked Sting; an annoyed expression plastered on his face as well. "Are you like, stalking me or something? F.Y.I. I'm a minor and I don't really go for guys anyway."
The pink haired guy just shook his head and sighed, "Dude. Why are you in a boxer, again?"
After hearing what the guy's said; Sting quickly crossing his arms, trying to cover his exposed chest. "Stop staring you perv!" He shouted. "And why are you still with a pink hair?"
The man gritted his teeth and breathed out slowly; looking as if he is trying to compose himself, "Look, kid; I know this is Lucy Heartfilia's house and you are his son. Am I right?" The man asked; ignoring Lector's loud hissing at him.
Sting ignored him and picked Lector up in his arms, "Hmm. No. I'm not her son. And I'm not a kid!" He shouted again, "I'm already 17. And also- I'm her lover. L-O-V-E-R. One and only lover."
Meow~
"Okay, lover boy." The pink haired guy sighed, again; he is obviously annoyed with Sting already, "Just tell your lover; Lucy that I came by and I need my answer. That's all." What's all he said, before leaving.
"What's that all about?" Sting muttered, "See Lector, that man is a weirdo just like his hair."
Meow~
"Yeah, I don't like him either."
.

Dinner with Lucy, Sting and Lector-
"So, Sting. How was your first day at school?" Lucy asked her teenage son, "Or should I say skipping school?" She sings the word 'skipping' loudly just to annoy Sting, "I wonder what I should do about that? You, skipping your first day of school."
Sting ignored her; he eats his vegetables slowly even though he always hated the green stuff. At the same time, he silently prayed for Lector's safety. The cat is now, curled like a ball on top of Sting's lap.
"Are you having fun with Lector?" Said Lucy, "Lector- he is a very cute cat isn't he? Sweetie, look at me."
Sting still ignored her; he just keeps eating his vegetables-
"Oh will you stop that!" Lucy took Sting's plate away, "Stop forcing yourself. You know you can't handle too much green; you're going to throw up later."
"Please don't take Lector away from me." He suddenly pleads and bows his head, "I promise I wouldn't do it again. I'll go to school tomorrow." Sting begged; he picks Lector up and hugs the cat.
Meow~
Lucy couldn't help herself from chuckles loudly. If only she had her phone right now; she would've captured Sting's face. He looks so amusingly cute; pouted like that and Lector also, sounding so adorable-
"If you skip school again- I'm sending Lector to a school. A special school."
"Is there even a school for cats?"
"Yes. Yes, there is my young one."
Meow~
.

"Natsu?"
"Lucy." He approached her, "Oh my God. It is you!" The pink haired guy shouted eagerly.
Lucy was speechless; she didn't know how to respond. Why is he here? She keep asking herself that question- why is he here?
"Lucy. Say something." Natsu said again; he waved his hands in front of the woman's face.
After a moment; Lucy finally snapped out of it, "Natsu. Wow. What are you doing here?" She said; sounded very awkward, "Look at you. Very prince charming, in a suit. You look- great."
Natsu grinned after hearing Lucy complimented his looks; his confident level suddenly rising up, "Thanks. And you look amazing. Finally get rid of that nerd looks eh Lucy?"
"Well, yeah. Nerd looks are so yesterday." She said-
.
.
.
"Good night mom."
"Good night son."
.
.
.
"Why do you choose me?" Lucy asked Natsu, "Don't you have other woman to do this for you."
"There is no other woman, Lucy. You know how I am with the female beings." He bluntly replied, "Besides, all I could think of right now is you. I mean, you're my one and only female friend that is trustworthy enough. That's why I need your help."
Lucy was touched by his words; Natsu and her are indeed good friends since high school. In fact; Natsu is probably the only guy at school that never teased her for being such a nerd. The boy had helped her, a lot- she even had a crush on him back then-
"What do you say Lucy?" He asked; looking very hopeful.
Back then Lucy could never so no to him; especially when he is making that face. Only Natsu could pull it off; poor Lucy- she had fallen for it every single time. "Look, Natsu. I wish I could help you, but this is really a big deal."
"I know but just think about it. Please." He begged.
"I don't know. I'm still mad at you, for last time you know."
The pink haired guy almost choked on his spits, "Oh that. You still mad about that?"
"Well duh- Any woman would be." She said, "You were being a total jerk by the way."
Natsu lets out a heavy sighed; like a really heavy sigh. His expression also change after hearing the word jerk coming out from Lucy's mouth. He never liked it when she called him that way, "I'm sorry." He said; then calmly grabs Lucy's hand, "I was scared back then. I didn't know what else to do- that's why I left you. To be honest, I did look for you after that but Erza told me that you gone back to your parents."
"Well, why didn't you really come at me back then?" She asked. Natsu's hand is warm; she thought-
"It's my family. That's why. I would if I could." Replied Natsu; he is still firmly holding Lucy's hand into his, "And that is also why I need your help."
"Natsu. I don't know."
"Lucy Heartfilia, will you please pretend to be my wife?"
.
.
.
"I don't like him."
Meow~
"Who the hell dyed his hair pink?"
Meow~
"He looks so stupid with his stupid pink hair."
Meow~
"Do you think he will come again?"
Meow~
.
.
.
"Sting! Go to bed! Are you talking to Lector?" Lucy shouted from across the room. The teenage boy hurriedly pulls his blanket and hides Lector underneath it.
"I have to hide you. Mom wouldn't like it if she found out that I sleep with you."
Meow~
"I'm not gonna die that easy Lector. It's only a stupid allergy."
Meow~
The End – CHAPTER 2
Oh man; suddenly Sting sounded so lame and sad talking to Lector. I'm going to give him a friend on the next chapter; a real human friend. A love interest? I don't know that yet, but soon-
Next chapter – "Who is the father?"
