That evening
Natsu was sitting on the bed, Mae in his lap looking at her 'daddy's' face as he was reading the brochure he had gotten from Wendy.
Magic Transplantation actually is someone with the normal two magic containers who donates one of them to someone who doesn't have a single magic container. After the Transplantation the person who donated the magic container needs to rest a lot and try to regain as much magical energy as possible. The magic container will regrow eventually. We have listed the time it takes for a magic container to regrow for all ages
0-2: two months
2-5: a year
6-12: two years
12-16: three months
17-21: two years
22-40: three years
40: five years
Note: the magic container regrow faster during childhood 0-5 years and during puberty 12-16. The older a person gets, the longer it takes for the magic container to regrow.
"two years to regrow. That isn't that much. And I'll be doing it for Mae. My little Mae."
"Who are you talking to Natsu?", Gray questioned as he sat down next to Natsu and Mae made some happy baby noises. Gray smiled softly at the little girl lying on his boyfriend's lap.
"To Mae.", Natsu smiled. Gray kissed his boyfriend and Mae laughed at the two of them. Gray took Mae from Natsu's lap and looked at her. "She is kinda cute...", he said and caressed her short pink hair. "Another pinky in the house.", he said. "My hair is salmon!", Natsu said, making Mae look at him. He ignored Gray as he started to explain that his hair was clearly pink and went back to reading the brochure.
The person without the magic container will get the donated container. With the magic of the container they will be able to grow a second container in the same time as written in the list on the previous page.
The operation can be dangerous at a very young age but it also is most effective on a young age. It is recommended that a wizard with great magic powers is the one that donates the magic container if the operation is done with a young person.
"Gray? Do you think I am a wizard with great magic powers?", Natsu asked out of nowhere.
"Why'd you ask that?", Gray asked. "Because there is a wizard with great magic powers needed to successfully complete the magic Transplantation.", Natsu said, looking at Mae. "I really want her to be happy here with us."
"I'm sure you can do it. You're one of the strongest mages I know.", Gray told Natsu.", Gray told the pink haired mage and Natsu blushed. Mae yawned and Gray concluded. "I think someone needs to go to bed.". He got up and carried Mae to the crib they got from Alzack and Bisca. They also had been shopping with Mira and Erza for baby food and diapers, lots and lots of diapers.
When Mae had fallen asleep, Gray went back to their room and saw Natsu had put the brochure away and was now sleeping. He had made a cocoon of the blanket so nothing was left for Gray. "Stupid flame brain.", Gray muttered as he started pulling on the blankets. "Let... Go!", Gray said and Natsu finally let go of the blankets.
He got in the bed with Natsu when Mae started crying. Natsu sat up "I'm going.", he said and walked towards the door. Gray installed himself in bed while Natsu took care of Mae.
Natsu got Mae out of her crib and smelled what was wrong immediately. He took her to the bathroom to change her diaper.
When he had changed it clumsily she was still crying. He rocked her "What's wrong Mae?", he asked worriedly. Rocking didn't help. What did she need. Maybe she was hungry.
He walked to the kitchen and made Mae some milk. He walked around rocking Mae while he warmed her milk. He started feeding her and she eagerly started drinking the milk. "So you were hungry.", Natsu said and watched as Mae drank the last of the milk and burped a little. Natsu rocked her until she had fallen asleep again. He carefully placed her back in her crib and yawned. "Oh gosh. I'm tired.", he said to himself as he walked into the bedroom and found a nice and warm place in the bed next to Gray.
"I love you Gray.", he told his raven haired boyfriend
"I love you too Natsu.", he replied.
