Thank you for all the reviews i will be trying to reply to all the questions so feel free to ask away.
As for the story i'm not the biggest fan of OC's and i wanted to say that I don't plan on making the child to big of a character but more of a way for Natsu and Lucy to bond and possibly raise a child. That doesn't mean that the child won't play a role on the story, actually the story kind of revolves around the child.
Ahh, this is so confusing to try and explain, the child may develop personality but i'm not sure yet. I don't want the child to be a sack of emptiness but i still want it to mainly be about Nastu and Lucy raising a child if that makes any sense...

'Thinking'
"Talking"
*Flashback*
Nastu's Pov
Before I even realized what I was doing I already picked up the small girl and held her so she was facing me and surprisingly her crying began to slow to the occasionally sob until eventually her crying was replaced with the smallest hint of a smile.
"What the hell are you doing put that thing down before you break it you idiot!" Gray yelled but I was to distracted to even thing about retorting.
"I think she likes you." Happy cooed landing on my shoulder to get a better look at the girl in my hands.
"You think so?" I said with a strange sense of happiness rushing through my body.
I made the funniest face I could muster causing her to let out a small giggle before her attention was on the winged blue cat on my shoulder and began reaching for it.
"Happy I think she wants to pet you." I said captivated of this little girl.
In response happy began to fly over in range of the child's hands. "Awww that's so cu-OWWW!" Happy was interrupted when the girl began to pull on his tail and admittedly flew behind my shoulder. "Shes a monster." Happy whimpered.
A couldn't stop myself from laughing at the interaction between them even though i knew it would hurt Happy feelings. "Natsuuu!"
"I'm so-sorry little buddy it was pretty funny" I said between laughs and soon The baby girl, Gray and even Happy joined me but my laugh was cut short when I realized the reason the girl was in my hands, she was alone.
"So what are we going to do with her?" Gray asked even though it seemed obvious to me.
"I'm going to raise her, well at least until we find her parents. Duh."
"Uh Natsu, I'm not sure if that's the best idea. You're not really the most qualified to raise a child" Happy said obliviously trying to put it nicely.
"Qualified?! Ha, he's more of a child than anyone else in the guild even Asuka. What makes you think that you can raise a child." The stripper added
"First of all put on some clothes you're in front of a child-" "What not again!" Gray cut me off, quickly putting on his clothes that he found nearby. "And secondly Igneel raised me and he's a dragon and look how I turned out." I finished.
"It's how you turned out that is the problem, we don't need another child like you running around the guild." Gray sneered
"Hey-"
"Guys stop fighting you're scaring the baby. Let's just find Erza, she will know what to do." Happy proclaimed smacking his paws together.
"Fine." I grunted before trudging back to look for Erza with the others in tow"

Lucy's Pov
Erza and I were walking down the road of the destroyed town without saying a word, it wasn't awkward silence... Okay it was but it doesn't look like Erza is going to change that anytime soon witch means i have to... Can i really do that.
After minutes of mentally preparing myself to ask something Erza seemed to notice my internal struggle
"Is something wrong Lucy." Erza said in a strict yet caring tone.
"O-of course not, i was just wondering why you sent Natsu and Gray together." I said out of surprise not meaning to say the first thing that came up in my head.
"Do you have a problem with that?" Erza said giving me a look.
"N-no it's just that you know that the don't get along together so wouldn't it be easier if you separated them rather then keep them together?" I asked nervously.
Erza let out a small sigh. "I made them go together because they need to stop acting like twelve year old boys and grow up, they need to understand to put their differences behind them and work together as a team. Also I think they do care for each other but they would never admit it." Erza explained.
"Oh that makes sense." I should've if know that Erza wouldn't purposely form an uncoordinated team without some sort of ulterior motive.
"Hey Luce did you find anything" I heard someone yell followed by footsteps. I turned my head even though I already knew who it was from that nickname.
"No not yet, hopefully everyone made it out safely." I answered.
Before I had a chance to ask him if he did Erza began speaking first.
"Natsu would you please inform us why you have a baby in your arms." She asked nonchalantly causing me to almost fall over in shock.
'how did I not notice that he was holding a baby, how could I miss that! Maybe It was because i was staring deep into his ey- I mean staring deep into space, yeah space.' I thought to myself mentally facepalming myself for not realizing.
"Oh yeah, we found her when we were looking for survivors and I think she is abandoned just like I was so that's why I am going to raise her."
"WHAT!" I yelled. if you thought I was shocked before than this is more like being tased or struck by lightning.
"See Lucy agrees with me it's a stupid idea!" Gray yelled.
"Lucy is that true?" Natsu questioned.
"What no! I was just a bit surprised is all. But maybe we should look for her parents." I defended myself. I really didn't mean to offend Natsu in any way and it sounds like he sees himself in the baby girl and doesn't want her to be alone like he once was. 'Honestly I don't think Natsu would be a bad father actually when i think quite the opposite actually. He's strong, funny and loving all great quality's in a father or even boyfri-' My train of thought was interrupted as Erza began to speak and i'm happy she did.
"Lucy's right, we can postpone looking for the dark guild for a while, this girl's safety comes first. It appears that she is the only survivor that didn't manage to evacuate the town. Looking for her parents shall be our first priority but in the meantime we need someone to look after her and Natsu seems more than happy to do so but i would rather not leave them alone in case of an emergency." Erza explained as all eyes went to me.
"What?" I asked not liking the look they were sending me.
"Lucy will you stay with Natsu and look after him I mean her, the baby. you too Happy." Erza asked in a way that made it seem like we don't really have a choice in the matter.
"Aye sir!" Happy exclaimed, obviously overjoyed that they remembered him.
"Uhh, I guess." I squeaked.
"Great then it's settled. Natsu, Lucy and Happy will go back to Magnolia to take care of the baby well Gray and I will look for her parents, does anyone have any problems with that?...No? Great, I would say let's stay the night but it I don't think there would be any hotels in a destroyed town so let's head out right now." Erza decided not leaving much room for suggestions as she started walking away with Gray following suit after a quick goodbye.
"So we should probably get going." I said breaking the silence.
"Yeah but can we walk." Natsu asked with the cutest puppy dog eyes he could muster, my greatest weakness.
"Fine, it's not like we're in a rush." I gave in.
"Yeahhh! Come on Luce!" The dragon slayer cheered as he repositioned the small girl onto his shoulders and began walking in the direction of Magnolia.

Natsu's Pov
I happily skipped into the apartment entering through the door for the first time due to the small girl on my shoulders.
Lucy decided that it would be best if we stayed at her place for the week to make it easier much to my delight. I already spent most my time there anyways.
I sat on a small sofa while putting the now sleeping baby on my lap.
Lucy sat beside me getting a good look at the sleeping girl.
"So now what?" Lucy whispered trying not to wake the baby.
"Well obviously were going to teach her to write, talk, walk and do awesome magic!" I said a bit to excitedly causing the baby to stir in her sleep causing Lucy to quickly grab the baby and start rocking her.
"Don't yell you're going to wake her you idiot." Lucy harshly whispered making it seem a lot less harsh.
"Sorry I got a little to carried away there." I said sheepishly rubbing the back of my head.
"But don't you think that's a bit much. Were probably only be looking after her for two weeks a month at most." Lucy said staring at the sleeping baby in her arms.
"But what if they don't find her parents then someone will need to look after her and I would gladly look after her, just like Igneel did for me." I said.
"Well we could always take her to an orphanage or something." Lucy advised
"No! I mean I'm sure fairy tail would be a great place for her." For some reason, i didn't like the idea of her being brought to an orphanage. I would rather have her to have a nice family that I know will care for her like fairy tail. not that an orphanage can't be a nice home or find you a nice family but I would rather know what she's going into. In the short time that I have known her I have already bonded with the small child and I could only wonder if that's what Ingneel thought of me.
"How about we decide after Gray and Erza return, if they can't find her parents then we'll think about what to do okay?" Lucy declared and seeing that it was the best option I quickly agreed.
"Now how about tomorrow we bring her to the guild, im sure Alzack and Bisca will have some baby supplies that they no longer need and it would be nice to see our friends again," Lucy said.
"That's a great idea Luce, i'm so glad you're here" I said with my signature toothy smile. Causing her to smile and maybe it was just the lighting but it looked like her face went red for a second.
"Ok well it's getting pretty late why don't we go to sleep. We have a big day tomorrow" Lucy Reasoned
"Ok luce." I said before running over to the bedroom and jumping in the bed.
"No Natsu! You're sleeping on the couch not on MY bed, I'll have the baby with me too." Lucy said with emphasizing the word 'my'.
Lucy's Pov
I told Natsu to sleep on the couch even though I knew he was more than likely to be on the bed in the morning and honestly I didn't care as much as I lead on to but that doesn't mean he can just climb in 'MY' bed without permission.
"Aww fine." The childish mage got up slowly walk to the couch before flopping onto it.
I let out a sigh of relief before climbing into my bed and putting the baby beside me, 'I really need to get a crib or something.' I thought to myself.
As i put her down she started to stir in her sleep from the lack of warmth from my arms until she opened her eyes. I was about to lay down beside her when-"Momma." The baby said trying to get closer to me.
"WHAT!" I screamed in surprise.
I hoped you enjoyed this chapter!
I'm getting tired of writing baby, small girl etc so Im going to try to think of a name. (Probably just Nashi)
I haven't described what the child looks like yet because i'm not sure what i should make her look like. I might just make her look like what Nashi fanart looks like because thats easy and I'm lazy but if you have any ideas then let me know in the reviews
