A/n: Thank you guys for the reviews~ I love you all and I'm so sorry if I didn't reply to any of you because:

1. I've got exams and was busy.

2. The FF .net has some major error in replying reviews that I have to go to the profile of the reviewer and leave a reply by PM-ing.

I just don't have the time to then. I'm really sorry.

Anyway, enough of that and on with the story!

…

Lucy stirred awake, feeling the muscle around her neck tensed from the position she was currently in for too long and far too uncomfortable for her. She opens her eyes and found that she was sitting on a plastic chair and her head was resting on a bed in front of her. Lucy turned her head, and there, lying on the white bed is her husband.

Someone she never expects to be married to…

He was smiling at her when he realized her staring. He chuckled –probably due to Lucy's expression- and pats her head softly, running his hand through her long blonde hair making Lucy sighed in pure bliss at the feeling of utter comfort. Like always, she tried to calm her thought and act like how THIS time of future Lucy acts.

"Hey, Bunny Girl…" Gajeel said, still smiling softly at her.

"Hey Hun…" Lucy choked out. There's a lump in her throat almost as if she was gonna cry but unable to. Lucy tried to calm herself at the new feelings coursed in her body, trying to grasp them and understand them as much as she could.

Gajeel look at her worriedly, "Are you Ok, Lu-Lu?" He stops patting her head and instead inclined her head to him.

Lucy followed silently, resting her head on his shoulder, just at the crook of his neck, trying to calm her breath. "Y-Yeah… It's just that… I'm glad… you're OK…" Lucy said, holding back a sob.

Gajeel sighed and strike the beautiful blonde hair of his wife soothingly and smile, "Hey, it was an easy SS-Class mission. Besides, with Erza with her two 'Jellals', nothing can beat us. I just got a bit-"

"Reckless," Lucy growled, cutting in her husbands' sentence. She can feel him tensed and can imagine too well how his face look like even though she can't see it; face confronted in guilt and a bit hurt… a bit of shame too if one look closely.

Lucy got up from her position, sighed in utter bliss as she straightened her body, feeling a few pops of joints and muscles before looking at her husband. Gajeel was smiling apologetically to her. She sighed like it was an everyday occurrence –probably is in this future- and just shook her head.

"We'll talk about this tomorrow," she said automatically, somehow surprising her. "It's getting late and…"

Gajeel nod his head, also looking at the windows of the hospital. The sky is painted in orange and red hues as the sun began to setting. "Yeah, you should. Be careful on your way," he said, grabbing her wrist and pull her to him, kissing her on the forehead to comfort and sooth her. "Love you, Lu-Lu."

Lucy sighed, guessing her husband knew her too well; never to kiss a girl –or more like her- on the lips when she's angry at you, especially in tensed and kinda serious situation. She smiled at Gajeel softly before nodded, straightened up and walk to the door, saying "see you tomorrow" before closing the door.

'That was weird and… awkward…' she thought.

…

Lucy let her feet walked on their own accord since she didn't really get the slightest idea where her house is, letting her mind wander and think deep in thought about this… future. Sure, she knows Gajeel. The guy practically the first guy who ever tortured her physically in the past, destroy their Guild, attack her fellow guild mates and hurt her girl best friend, Levi-chan.

But not long after that, he –alongside with Juvia- joined her guild. At first she see nothing had change in Gajeel except he's singing, his join-into-the-usual-group-idiot-fight with Natsu and Gray, his saving and protecting Levy throughout the time he started to open up and loosen a bit and as well as become a proud mage of Fairy Tail.

And now she thought about it, what happen between them? What about Levy? She always knew Levy began to open up more as well as trust the metal dragon slayer. Probably loved him too, but Lucy is not certain about that. So, what exactly had happen?

Her though was interrupted when a very, very familiar voice called her name. "LUUUUCCCEEE~!", came the shout of her name before she was tackled to a tight hug.

"N-Natsu… I-I can't… b-breathe…" Lucy choked and gasped from the hug.

Natsu let her go, a sheepish smile on his handsome face. In this future, he got the same look as the future where they both were married to each other; the scar, the tone body and those fiery intense eyes. Lucy couldn't help but blush, her heart skip a beat at the memory.

"Hey, Natsu," Lucy smiled, taking notice of their close proximity. She took a step a bit, trying to breathe freely. "Ho-" she was interrupted when a childlike voice call her.

"Momma~" before Lucy could comprehend what's going on, she was tackled by a small figure just above her waist. It was a little girl with black hair with a tint of gold, large reddish brown eyes, a small cute nose and pink pouty lips. 'Aww she's so cute~' Lucy thought, suddenly feeling motherly towards the child.

"Momma, you see, today… today Uncle Na-Na and I… we-we're…" she said excitedly, trying to catch her breath but failing miserably.

"Calm down, Lucia," Natsu chuckled, lifting her off and rest her in his arms. "We can tell your mummy on our way home."

Lucia brighten up and nods her head vigorously, her smile never leave her cute face. "Yeah!"

Lucy watched their interaction with so much happiness in her heart at the sight. She couldn't believe in this future, she has a daughter with Gajeel. Her heart soared at that, because not only she married to Gajeel, have a cute bubbly daughter but also said daughter to be loved by the very man she called her partner and best friend in her life.

"Come on, let's go home," Lucy said, taking her daughters' right hand and walk with them, with Lucia still in Natsu's arm and began to walk along the street to their house.

…

"Grr… C'mere Lucia…" Natsu growled before trying to pounce on the little girl.

Lucia shriek and laugh, trying to get away from Natsu, crawling under the table, jump over the couch and run towards Lucy, who was currently carrying cookies and two cups of milk in her hands.

"Woah! Lucia! Don't hide behind mummy…" Lucy laugh, trying to give away her daughter's location to Natsu who's slowly crawled to them like a lion –or a dragon whichever you prefer- and started to be in a crouch position ready to pounce.

"Don't you dare Natsu or no cookies for you," Lucy threatened with a smirk. It seems clear that with living and marrying with Gajeel, his attitude kinda rub off on her a little.

Natsu stopped and sighed, sitting down on the floor with a pout, crossing his arms over his chest. 'Something never changed…' Lucy thought.

"Aww… you're no fun, Lucy," Natsu whined. Lucia joined her 'Uncle Na-Na's' example and sit beside him, pouting and hands cross over her chest. Lucy couldn't help but laugh at their antics. 'Dragon-slayers… all the same…' she mused.

"Uh-huh…" Lucy rolled her eyes. "Now, come on and sit on the couch if you two want the cookies and milk," she gestured towards the living room. Both of them get up and obediently do as she says.

Lucy laughed as she watch her two lovely precious family fighting over the cookies, feeling her heart fluttered in happiness at the sight. 'This is one of the best futures I've ever got. If only Gajeel was here…'

…

It was night already. Natsu had gone back to his house, promising to come back tomorrow to pick her up to the guild. By her he means Lucia.

Lucy couldn't help but noticed that with the now and previous futures –with the exception of the one with Natsu- the fire dragon slayer seems to attached to her life, no matter who she was married to. He was always there.

But somehow, the Natsu in this future seems to be cautious and a bit distant with her. Probably knew the boundaries of being best friend with a married best friend. She couldn't help but noticed that even in this future, Natsu seems to love her too, or still loved her.

Probably that was the reason why he was a lot open with Lucia, to pour all of his love for her indirectly from her daughter to her.

This future thing is getting complicated.

And this is the second future now, where she married to someone else who are not Natsu.

Does it mean something?

She didn't know.

Lucy stopped to Lucia's room, peeking from the slightly ajar door to find her little daughter was sitting in front of the bed, her hands clasped together and her head was bowed.

"Dear Lord," Lucia said. "I wish Daddy will get better so he can play with me again. I wish Mommy won't get mad with Daddy for too long like last time. I don't like seeing Daddy shouting at Mommy. And I hate to see Mommy crying.

I wish Uncle Na-Na can show me his Dragon Wings tomorrow and fly with him together. I wish Uncle Na-Na will be always with me and Mommy and Daddy because with Uncle Na-Na around, Mommy seems to be a lot happier.

I love Daddy too though and wish he won't be angry at Mommy again because of Uncle Na-Na. I love them all and also the Guild. Please make sure they always are happy and safe, wherever the guild members are right now. Amen."

Lucia got up from her position and climbs her bed, tugging the blanket over her small frame with a sigh and a small smile. Beside her was a necklace with small red Ruby at the middle. It shines in the moonlight as Lucia brings it close to her chest; it brightens the room like fire dancing around the small room. "I wish Uncle Na-Na and Daddy can be my two best fathers with Mommy as my angel…" Lucia whispered before falling asleep.

Lucy gasped silently at the doorway, tears flowing down her cheeks. She just couldn't believe what she heard from her little daughter, her little angel…

She walked back to her room, sitting on the bed, still crying.

"If that is what she wanted… then I will grant your wish… My darling Lucia…"

…

The next morning, Natsu came to pick Lucia up, just like how he promised. Lucy smiled at them when they have the child-like-fight with each other, which reminds her of herself when she was young and still single, partnered to said Salamander and will always have their own 'child-like-fight'. Lucy shook her head.

"Ne, Luce…" Natsu said, calling her.

"Hm?"

"Have you ever wondering, if we were married, what it'll be like?" he asked with uncertain but determined voice.

Lucy tensed slightly, the memory of her marriage with Natsu still vivid in her mind, also with the memory of her marriage with Gray.

"…"

"I see…" he said, voice soft. "Then was it that bad…?"

Lucy takes a deep breath and shook her head. "N-No… It was actually the most 'romantic-in-Natsu's way' of marriage…" she chuckled, not realizing what she said.

"It… was…?" Natsu asked.

"I-I mean… It probably might be like that…"she shrugged, trying to sound nonchalant.

"Hmm…"

The atmosphere surrounding them becomes awkward after that, both in complete silent and in their own mind.

"Na-Na! Come on~ you said we're going to fly today~" Lucia's voice bounce around the house, breaking the awkward silent.

"Y-Yeah! Be right there!" Natsu shouted. He turns to Lucy and gives her a semi-hug and kissed her cheek before letting her go and dashed to the front door, carrying Lucia to the Guild.

Lucy was shocked by the action. It was kinda bold for Natsu to do that. And it was a risky move too. She tried to calm her heart beat, trying to get rid of unwanted emotions. After all, she's going to meet Gajeel at the hospital today to bring him back home.

…

"Hey Bunny Girl," Gajeel started, bringing her close to him as they walk through the Magnolia Town to the Guild. Gajeel was released about an hour ago, with Lucy dragging him away from creating wreck havoc in a hospital.

"Hm?" Lucy sighed, looping her arms around her husband's waist.

"…"

Lucy opened her eyes and raised her head to look at Gajeel. "What is it, Hun?"

"W-Well… Aren't you going to ask me about…Levy?" he said, hesitate.

Lucy changed her vision to the side walk, trying to ignore the clenching pain in her heart. "Go on, Hun… I'm listening." She's been itching to know what happen between the two.

"W-Well you see," he started with a deep breath. "I've been trying to explain and convinced you that there's nothing between her and me. We are just partner. Most of the time I helped her was because I felt bad for the things I had done to her in the past and just made friend with her. Besides, she's a great friend to have.

But you, Lu-Lu… you are not that easy. We do get along well enough to be friendly and forget the bad part of me from the past, but somehow, along the way, I started to realize how far different I am to your group of friends –your usual circle of friends- to be precise. I started to notice that you're friends with the other two dragon slayers perfectly well and yet with me, you're kinda just being polite.

So, during the "Edo-Ark" as Master calls it, I was looking for a talking cat so I can finally fit in. Maybe with that, you will realize that I'm not the cold-hearted and mean Gajeel anymore.

Years passed, and we're become good friend. In that time, I have finally realize that I had fallen in love with you right from the start, thus the reason why I'm trying to fit in."

Gajeel stop and look at her in the eyes, staring at her warm brown eyes. "And you don't know how happy I am when you agreed to go out with me. And I certainly sure that I might have gone to heaven when you said 'Yes' when I proposed to you," he said, lips stretch into a warm big smile.

Lucy couldn't help but let a few tears fall from her eyes and chuckled a little. 'That is so Gajeel-like' she thought.

"And I'm sure I'm the happiest woman to be married to such an idiot but wonderful man," she said, grinning.

"…Does that also implying Natsu?" Gajeel murmured, his eyes glazed over with some emotions that Lucy couldn't catch. She tensed at that.

"Gajeel," she said. "I do love Natsu, but only as a friend. Besides, he's more like a brother now. What I'm concern is that…"

"…that?" Gajeel pressed.

"That Lucia want two daddies…?" she chuckled nervously.

Gajeel eyes widen at that, "She WHAT?" he gasped.

"Yeah… I kinda heard her when she was praying before she goes to sleep last night…"

"Guess I…." Gajeel mumbled.

"What? I can't hear you, Hun."

"I said, I guess I have to let her have two amazing fathers then… My little angel deserved to have fun when I'm away for mission… Though that doesn't mean I will give you up to him!" he growled the last one out. Lucy chuckled.

"Oh, don't worry about that, Hun," she said, running a hand through his abs, her voice turn husky. "I only have one dragon as a husband," she purred.

Gajeel couldn't help but laugh and smirk to his wife. "You're catching up real fast, Lu-Lu."

"I have one hell of a good teacher," she smirks, and continued to walk towards the guild, leaving Gajeel to growl at her.

"Damn! My wife is one hell of a hot Bunny Girl," he grins and catches up to his wife.

…

Lucy knew her time is almost up but somehow, there's something wrong. Something is really wrong to her.

She stared at the worried faces of Gajeel, Lucia and Natsu. Her eyes fall to the necklace her daughter was wearing. It glows fiery red, swirling like a dancing fire. Didn't they realize that? Is she the only one who did?

"L-Lucia…" she gasped. "C-Could…you give… me that n-necklace… for a while… honey?"

Lucia nods her head and gives her mother the necklace. Gajeel take his daughter to his arms as he lifted her up, bringing her close, his eyes never leaving his fatigue-looking wife.

"N-Natsu… where did you get this?" she whispered, but Natsu heard her.

"It's from Igneel, remember? He gave me that before going back to the Dragon World." He said, confused and worried, "Are you OK, Luce? What is it?"

Lucy ignored him and watched the beautiful dancing flame. Why only she can see it, she didn't know. But somehow, the necklace prevents her from going to the next future. 'This is bad. This is way bad than Erza losing her Cheesecakes!' Lucy thought.

"It's trying… to… keep me… here…" she gasped again. She feels her body getting heavier and heavier, her breathing become a short pants and she felt weak; so, so weak.

"What do you mean, Luce?" Natsu asked, now completely alarmed.

Quickly without thinking, Lucy let the necklace fall on the table and took out her Blue Key, calling the Dream Granter, Yume. A woman with long pale-snowy blonde hair emerged beside her, a knowing look on her face.

"Yes, Your Highness?" Yume said, bowing to her like always.

"It's time… t-take me… back…" Lucy whispered. The dancing flame makes her harder to talk now.

Yume nodded in understanding, and began to open her arms.

"Wait, Luce! What do you mean by that?" Natsu shouted, "LUUUCCEE!"

She watched silently as her vision began to blurred, a few blue-black butterflies filled her vision. She watched to worried and panic expression on her currently three precious people and smiled.

"I'm sorry…" she whispered.

She caught a glimpse of Mira from the bar; a few butterflies flew around her too, a small knowing smile on her lips and in her eyes. It's time to go.

"I love you…" she heard one of them said and she smiled, a few tears flows down her cheeks before her vision turns completely black.

…

Lucy groaned and sat up from her uncomfortable position on her hard and cold apartment floor. She was back.

She was back to her time.

'Back to reality of time…'

…

A/n: Hahaha… how did it end up like that? What is exactly is that necklace? What's going to happen now that she's back? Where's Mira? How will she act around her three male friends now? When will she go back to future to find her remaining nine husbands? Why am I asking you these questions? LOL!
