Chapter 3: Coming Back Home/ First Time-ish Meeting
Cana:
He towered over me, lust in his gray eyes as he slowly felt my body. Heat everywhere his fingers touched me. I arced my back wanting more, wanting him inside me. Even if I was a virgin, I knew what to do because the way he makes me feel. "Cana." He groaned as he started to put a digit in and pumped me. Moaning and twisting I moaned his name on my lips. It freezes I don't even know his name, eyes widening, but he continues the pleasure and the heat is continuing until….Beep Beep Beep.
Beep, Beep, Beep. I groaned and hit my alarm clock bringing me out of that dam dream. 6 am in blinking red, I stretch and yawn, preparing myself for another long day. Turning to my right I see my little girl still sleeping soundly. She can sleep through anything unless she's nudged.
I take a quick shower and as I'm towel drying my hair I select a yellow take top and brown capris. Going back to Hana I nudge her awake. She gives the cutest kitten yawn and slowly opens her grey eyes.
"Morning momma." She said sleepily.
"Morning sweetheart, why don't you go to your room and get changed. We got to leave in about fifteen to Fairy Tail, we'll get breakfast there. I'm going to pack your bag for today with Aunt Levy okay?" I kissed her forehead gently.
"M'k Mommy, can I bring Mimi?" referring to her stuffed golden dragon that she just got for her birthday a few weeks ago.
"Of course, now go get dressed and brush your teeth little lady." I smiled and started to get her back with her special knit blanket for nap time, snacks and an extra change of clothes. Levy told me that they were going to do some baking and knowing my daughter she'll be a mess afterwards.
Sighing as I zipped it shut I couldn't help but think of her questions and my dream. Am I a horrible parent for not even knowing anything about her father? I shook myself. It's not my fault for waking up alone, and being drunk enough to not even ask for his name.
"Mommy I'm ready!" Hana called and walked out wearing a pair of short overalls with a light blue shirt underneath complete with her white Velcro sneakers. "Could you put my hair up please?" She clutched Mimi tighter as she looked up with inquiring eyes.
"Of course pig tails?" and I already was section her hair into two, gathering a honey-blond section and tying it off. Another minute and she had two pigtails, by that time it was 6:45, and we were out the door. While we were walking we talked about the dreams we had.
"Momma I dreamed of daddy last night. He was really big, but soft like a teddy bear." Hana commented. I froze. "Really sweetheart?" I whispered.
"Uh-huh, I can't wait to tell Granpa!" referring to Makarov, in her mind with all the aunts and uncles she had at Fairy Tail she deemed Makarov and her grandfather.
"Ok little missy, I bet it was a good dream now let's get some breakfast hmm?" I said as we stepped through the doors.
"Granpa!" Hana yelled as she saw the old man sitting at the end of the bar, running with Mimi she jumped the best she could for Makarov to pick her up.
"Hello little flower I haven't seen you for a few days what brings you to breakfast?" Makarov inquired as he set his unofficial granddaughter on his lap.
"I'm going to Aunt Levy's and make cookies. She and Uncle Gazeel are picking me up." Hana stated proudly.
I was getting my apron on, even though Fairy Tail was a bar, it was somewhat of a diner to eat breakfast and lunch before the afternoon it was more of the bar look. I prepared some French toast and fruit for the two and slid it down with all the fixings. They both ate eagerly and before I knew it they were done handing me clean plates.
"Oh Cana, you're a great cook, I'm glad I hired you. Would you be willing to wear a maids uniform and cook for me sometime?" As much as I loved him he was a pervert. I hit him in the head with the reply of.
"No." and proceeded to prepare for the breakfast rush and wiping down the bar.
The door opened around 8 and in walked Gajeel and Levy. He smile was all over the place and Mira being the She-Devil she is exclaimed "Levy, why didn't you tell me you were pregnant!" Levy shot a glare at me.
"You swore me to secrecy, not my daughter through." I replied and smirked at their faces. They should know a kid that hears things will relay said secrets unless asked not to.
"Yeah, we are. You and Cana are in charge of the shower. Oh come on Hana we got delicious cookies to make." Levy replied as quickly as she could and grabbed my daughters hand towards the door.
"Bye Momma, see you later." Hana waved goodbye to me as they walked out.
"I'll pick you up around 5 sweet heart, I gotta pick up some groceries okay?" I called out as the door swung shut. I smiled and continued to take orders of my favorite customers, Jet and Droy. "The usual boys?"
"Yup." And went to prepare the ultimate breakfast of pancakes, eggs, sausage, hash browns, toast, and bacon.
Laxus
I was looking down at the woman spread before me, all I could see were her violet eyes staring back at me. She groaned and squirmed under me as I pleasured her. Panting she arched her back with my name on the tip of her lips, I waited for her to say it but it never happened. I wanted her to say it though, as we finished climaxing I laid next to her and she murmured, "I don't even know your name." and she fell asleep…
Startled and groggy I woke up to a voice "In 15 minutes we will be arriving in Magnolia airport, please fasten your seat belts we will be landing soon." Rubbing my hand over my face I fastened my seatbelt.
What the hell was that dream about? Five years was too long to be away from here, but it was good traveling. I had a lot of fun, but didn't find what I was looking for. By the time I was done reflecting on all my conquests back in Europe the plane touched down.
Getting off that dam contraption I slowly stumbled my way to the baggage claim. I grabbed my luggage and flipped my phone open scrolling through the contacts until I found the one I was looking for. I pressed call and waited for the ring.
"What the hell do you want asshole?" snarled a rough voice on the other end.
"Gajeel! Language there's a child in here!" I could hear a women's voice shouting in the background.
"Well, well, big tough Gajeel tied down. I don't believe it, anyway I called because I'm here in Magnolia and I need a favor." I replied.
"Spit it out already then!" Gajeel replied impatiently.
"I need a ride and wondering if I can crash at your place for a while until I find a place."
"Goddamit, fine, Ow woman quit hitting me!"
"Well stop cussing in front of her I swear, you're supposed to be practicing on the refrainment." The woman replied.
"Fine, Laxus I'll be there in 30." And the call was ended.
I smirked Well this outta be fun, Gajeel has a kid and a wife, must be nice to have a place a family. I shook myself, I didn't want something like that. Did I?
As what was promised Gajeel pulled up in a car and helped with my luggage containing a very big duffel and a large backpack. We both got in the front and sat. I waited a few moments for my jokes.
"So you're tied down with a wife and a kid? Congrats man, never would of that that a bastard like you would settle down."
"Shut up asshole, yeah I got a wife and the kid ain't ours. We baby sit for a friend while she works." He replied gruffly.
"What? Shouldn't she be watchin the kid while the guy works or something? And that woman over the phone said something about practice?" I was surprised, unless both the kids' parents were workaholics.
"Dumbass, and you sexist, just mom and the kid. And none of your business but my wife is pregnant with our kid, an she wants me to start practicing to watch my language, since we watch the kid a lot." Gajeel snapped.
At that I was shocked and the drive was mostly spent on what I've been doing the past five years.
"Yer kiddin, and you call me a bastard, with all the dam chicks you've slept with you man-whore." Gajeel said as they pulled up to a condo like structure. They both got out and shut their doors. "We'll get your stuff once the kids' outta here."
"When will that be?" I asked, how long does this mom work?
"Between 5 and 6. Cana usually gets here within that time frame, course she said something about pickin up groceries after work." He replied, I paused Cana, where have I heard that name before? I was around 4:30 I shook away that thought and walked inside.
"Uncle Gazeel! Aunty and I made yummy cookies. Mimi helped too! Wanna try…" A kid about four years old came running from what I deemed the kitchen. Her hair was up in pig tails, and she had flour streaked across her face and overalls. She stared at me nervously and a woman with blue hair came in.
"Gajeel, good you're home. Oh, is this the friend you mentioned I had to prepare the guest room for?" She was short, and that was my first thoughts.
"How the hell did you two do it?" I muttered and unfortunately Gajeel heard me.
"Asshole! Don't make commets about my wife!" And he was going to lunge at me until shorty grabbed his ear.
"Gajeel, how many time's am I gonna tell you to watch your language around children!?" she yelled and saw me somewhat laughing. She glared at me, "Now my name is Levy what's yours?" and she demanded a response, suddenly I was scared of her more than Gajeel.
"Laxus." I said without my last name figuring she probably knew my old man.
"Aunty, why does uncle like saying that word and who is he?" the young girl quietly pointed out, and we all remembered a kid was here.
"The word is not a nice word and your uncle says it when he's frustrated at people, as for the man he's an old friend of your uncle and he's staying with us for a little while. Now we better get you all cleaned up, your mommy's going to be here soon." Levy kindly responded to the girl.
"Yea! Momma's coming and we can give her some of the cookies that we made right?" The girl brightened at the mention of her and grabbed a blue backpack wear a clean pair of clothes was at. The two went off down the hall leaving the men in the living room.
"Your wife's scary." I commented.
"Ya got that right come on let's check the kitchen for some grub. I'm starving." Together they walked over to the baking mess of the kitchen and found some cup of noodles to make. Gajeel prepared five and set water to boil.
"There's only four of us here, you miscount?"
"No, you idiot, I'm makin one for Cana, she'll be here soon, and days like this she's too tired to go home an make something to eat for the both of them." Gajeel replied and started to pour hot water into the bowls.
"Oi, woman and pipsqueak. I made dinner." Gajeel hollered down the hall and pulled out some vegetables and fruit along to eat with the ramen.
The pitter patter of feet running down the hall came as clean four year old dressed in swirled purple and blue pajamas came running in to sit at the table with a stuffed golden dragon in her lap. Levy walked in as well wearing sweats and a T-Shirt that seemed a little too big on her.
"Uncle Gazeel what did you make?" Laxus could get a better look and saw the kid had light brown hair with streaks of blond, and light grey eyes with hints of purple in her irises. She looked uncomfortable at him and realized he was staring at her for too long.
"Made ramen, squeak, now eat up your mom should…" Gajeel started to say as a knock was heard at the door. He opened it and it revealed the mother. My jaw dropped as I looked at her. She had long brown hair that curled slightly towards the bottom of her mid back. Clothed in a yellow tank top that fit tightly over her body and showed her muscles while her upper arms were wrapped in silver bangles. Brown capris fit tight over her ass and when she looked up, violet eyes where set in a face that was similar to her daughters. She looked tired but lit up when seeing her daughter run towards her.
"Mommy! Aunty and I made cookies and Uncle made dinner for us and he has a friend here." The child talking a mile a minute at the tired mother.
"Oh really, thanks Gajeel. I was able to run to the store and get food, but I'm so tired." The woman yawned as she thanked him.
I was still staring at her, and I felt something as she turned her gaze towards me.
"Who are you?" once she realized there was one more body than usual.
"Laxus, I'm crashing here until I can find a place of my own." I replied nervously I don't even know.
"Okay, Hana let's eat so we can get home." She replied cooly and sat with her daughter. Hana precious flower, good name. I thought and I observed the mother throughout dinner. Seems she has known Gajeel and Levy for a while, because she joked and laughed with the two throughout dinner. She talked about work where I assumed it was a bar, and commented on a relationship between one of her co-workers and a pink haired man.
When mother and daughter was done, they said goodbyes and as they were about to leave Hana said.
"Goodbye Mr. Laxus, see you tomorrow!" She waved and her mother gave a soft smile and then they were gone. They had a lot of warmth and I felt a bit cold afterwards.
"Gajeel where's the dad in this?" I asked curious as to who would leave those two alone.
"Cana doesn't know, she got knocked up while drunk. She kept the baby, saying it was her fault for getting into a situation, and wasn't gonna kill it. She cleaned up and sobered up, when squeak was born Cana got another job to support them and that's how it's been for the last four years. If I ever see that bastard I'm gonna beat the shit outta him, for the hell she's been in." Gajeel growled and brought his fists together to grind them.
"Now go ta sleep man, I'm fuckin tired." He said and went off to his bedroom.
I started to go to mine and I laid down thinking of something else peculiar about the woman. She had some bruising it seemed on her arms that were a light shade of green.
If she has no man why does she have markings of healing bruises on her?
His thought were drifting into a dream of heat, and the woman with violet eyes that snuck in every now and then had more features. Features that somewhat resembled the woman he just met.
Cana.
