Chapter 4: The truth and one-year-old

A/N: I do not own Fairy Tail.

Sting was livid.

Rogue had kept a lot of things from him throughout their lives. When he gave the last piece of birthday cake to Fro when they were 12. When he became S-class a whole year before Sting, the white dragon slayer didn't find out until the next year he saw Rogue in the S-class trials. When he started dating Levy because he thought Sting might embarrass him.

But this? This took the whole cake.

The white dragon slayer was pacing his office waiting for Rogue to arrive. He had summoned Rogue, as his guild master obviously, and he had asked him to bring Levy and Cana with the pretense that he wanted them to help him with a quest.

There was a light knock on the door, and Sting gave a faint "come in." He was readying himself to punch the shadow dragon slayer when through the door came the one and only Lucy Heartfilia.

"Hello Master Sting."

Sting was silent. He stared at her for what may have been an eternity but it was actually seconds. His vision was red for a second since he was seeing the main source of his anger. He shook his head, clearing all negative thoughts out and repeating to himself, 'this is the mother of my children', over and over again for a minute until he finally spoke:

"You had no right. No right whatsoever Lucy, to keep me away from those children."

"Oh and had you known you would've been happy to be a father? You would've been okay with telling your whole guild that you impregnated "a quick fuck" that only helped to "get you off"? You would've stopped being Master Sting and become Daddy Sting? I don't think so. I wasn't going to ruin your life, so I think I had every-"

"Ruin my life?! You weren't going to ruin my life but you let me ruin yours? You could've had an abortion or you could've come here and I would have helped you through the pregnancy and maybe eventually you'd fall in love with me and we'd be a happy family! But we can never know because YOU kept them from ME!"

Lucy stared at the white dragon slayer. Sure, her pregnancy had been easier because had had Fairy Tail behind her. The twins were almost a year now and throughout all their whole year Rogue had also been a great support system for them. Lucy never had time to think she might need their father or even if they might need him.

"Did you even think about what happened where the children ask about their father? What were you going to tell them?" Sting looked and sounded hurt at this point. He had been devastated when he realized that to Lucy he was just a one night stand and not the father of her children.

"I would've come up with a good lie by the time they started asking," Lucy sighed and then continued, " I admit that I was wrong, Sting. I should've told you at least so you could decide for yourself what you wanted to do. I didn't give you an option, and I am sorry for that, but can you please understand that you were the one who said we were just each other's fuck buddies? That's all I need you to see from my perspective."

Lucy stood up and walked towards the door. She then reached into her purse and left a little envelope on top of Sting's coffee table and said, "The twins are having their first birthday party next weekend. I hope you can make it."

She smiled at Sting and he smiled back and then said, "What's the theme?"

Lucy laughed looking back at the dragon slayer and said, "Dragons."

The day of the twins' birthday arrived and Lucy had prepared four cakes because they had way too many guest. Mostly all of Fairy Tail stopped by with gifts and by the time Sting got there (he had to walk because he was not going to stain his new dress shirt with his motion sickness) there was a small mountain of presents and the party was at full swing.

Lucy saw him arrive and quickly excused herself from the conversation she was having with other guild members about the twins. She made her way towards Sting and she saw him blush as she approached him. She was wearing a white dress that had been enchanted by Virgo to withstand burns or any possible stains. Her hair was down and it curled around the bottom. She wore brown wedges that put her almost at Sting's height. When she reached Sting, she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek turning him even redder, and said, "I'm glad you came, do you wanna see the kids?"

"I think we should wait for the dramatic reunion until all the guest are gone, Lucy." He said as he handed Lucy the two boxes he had been carrying.

Lucy frowned a bit but then nodded. She signaled him to where Rogue was and Sting went to sit by him.

"Glad you could make it."

"It's my kids' birthday party, of course I would make," he looked around and said, "speaking of, where are they?" Sting then felt a tug in his pants. He looked down to see a tiny replica of Lucy, wearing a white dress and no shoes. She sat by his legs and stretched out her arms to him and Sting picked up, setting her down on his lap and trying to fix her hair bow.

Layla had smelled someone that smelled like her with her baby dragon senses and she had wanted to be with him. She had crawled her way through him under the tables, managing to bump her head a couple of times and mostly get her hair all messed up, but the tiny dragon persevered and made her way to the familiar smell. When she saw the smell she saw that he too was blond, like her brother and her, and that he too looked like a white dragon. She started making baby talk with him and much to Rogue's delight Sting was listening intently to his daughter's gibberish.

"Oh there she is!" Sting looked up to see Levy holding a blonde baby that very much also looked like Lucy, "Sting would you mind taking Light and Layla to the cake? Lucy can't leave to come get them because she's sure Natsu might destroy the cakes before the twins get a chance to."

Sting nodded and stood up holding his daughter in one arm and then grabbing his son from Levy. He made his way towards the big sakura tree in the park which was where Lucy was standing behind four three tier cakes. He knew people were staring at him, and he realized Lucy had never told anyone who the father was, but he was pretty sure they all had an idea now. He reached the table and gave Lucy the kids. As he was about to leave, Layla started throwing a fit, and since his sister was throwing a fit, Light decided to throw one to.

"I think you should stay here, Sting."

And Sting couldn't agree more.

A/N: So, how was it? R&R please guys!
