"Summer baby, this is Natsu, my best friend here." Lucy cooed the little girl.

" Natsu, This is Summer, my daughter." Lucy sweetly smiled to him. He is now so shocked. Lucy have a daughter.

"SHE HAS A DAUGHTER?" A screaming voice echoing in his mind.

~~~~~xxx~~~~

Fetching them in the airport is one of the worst tasks that his friends asked him to do. He was a fool that not noticing that the Heartfilia's had a personal car that will get them when they will arrive. And for the worst scenario, Lucy and her little girl company chooses to be in his car. The ride way to their home, is pure hell for Natsu. The idea that Lucy maybe change into proper lady now is impossible to be true. During the ride to their home, the two girls are fully awake and now he is slightly pissed to the kid of her secret love. He known for having good terms and good in handling with children but now he doesn't know why he is irritated to the presence if this cute girl.

"Mommy, why does Uncle Natsu have pink hair? I thought that only girls have pink locks like Meredy and Aunt Sherry?" Summer, asked her mom while slightly tugging the hair of Natsu. Lucy just smile to her daughter. "Oh no, Is it actually Uncle Natsu is a girl?" Summer asked as if she is horrified.

"My God Summer." Lucy said laughing. Natsu eyed the two who seemed holding their laughter. "Why don't you ask Uncle Natsu, Baby?" Lucy said with her eyes darted to the driver seat, for a second Natsu's eyes and Lucy's eyes meet for a second.

Natsu felt uneasy while Lucy keeps staring at him. God knows how he missed those beautiful eyes but he can't be so comfortable with her. Who knows what she capable to do. Natsu put his sunglasses to block the brown eyes as if she examining him.

"Mom, I guess he is not a girl." Summer whispers to Lucy. Lucy chuckled to her daughter.

"Hey Uncle Natsu, why are you so silent? Are you a shy girl?" Summer teasingly poked his side and that makes him jolt.

"Of course not, why would that makes me a girl if I had a pink hair?" He suddenly said with a stern and angry voice and that makes Lucy and Summer gasped in surprise. He seemed surprised too but he just focus on driving ignoring the whimper of Summer.

"Mom, Uncle Natsu is mad at me. " Summer said tears filled in her eyes.

"shh. Baby that's not true. Natsu is just tired you know. Today is supposed his rest day but he fetch us. Go apologized to him." Lucy said to her daughter wiping the child's tears.

Natsu suddenly felt ashamed for his sudden action.

"I'm sorry Uncle Natsu for disturbing you." Summer tapped the shoulder of the man.

Natsu ignored the kid. He continue to drive. He eyed the kid who is now leaning and hugging Lucy. Few minutes Summer is sleeping.

"Seems like you're not as good as Levy boasted, in terms of children." Lucy said while wiping the tears of Summer. "Can you please be more considerate in communicating with Summer. She is quite a emotional child. It's her first time here and I hope she will enjoy her stay in Magnolia." Lucy stated not wanting to looked at Natsu, who were just driving.

"I'm good at children; well maybe it depends on who are the kids I will be dealing with." Natsu stated.

"What do you mean ?" Lucy asked in surprised.

" Hmm, nothing" he said coldly. Lucy glared at Natsu but she is tired to start an argument. She wanted to impress him that she changed.

"Look, I'm so sorry that you seemed force to fetch us. You should turn down me when I choose to ride home with you. I'm sorry for being such a nuisance of Summer to you." Lucy said slightly annoyed.

"By the way, where's your husband?" Natsu asked. Curiosity started beamed in him.

"Well, let's not talked about him. How are you now?" Lucy asked him back. Smiling sweet to him. Natsu on the other hand smiled at her too.

"I'm okay." Natsu said with disinterest. Lucy, who sensed the way he talked shut her mouth. Awkward silence filled the air between them for almost five minutes. Lucy decided to broke it.

"How's your work? I heard that you got promoted. By the way, congrats. You've reach your dreams Natsu." Lucy warmly tapped the shoulder of the boy.

"Thanks, who told you that i got promoted?"

"Hmm.. Wendy and Aunt Grandine."

"Oh so they know that you have a kid now?" Natsu stated with slightly irritated voice.

"Yeah just recently." Lucy smiled.

"Oh?" Natsu stated. "So what about you and your husband?You have a child now."

"Yep. Isn't she cute?" Lucy stared at him and Summer.

"She's got your attitude."Natsu said not thinking what he said. He is annoyed that Lucy doesn't anything about the father of Summer.

Lucy beamed at what he said. "What did you said?" She asked him glaring to him.

" Well, i bet she will grow like you, and will repeat what you've done during your childhood." He said in cold voice.

" Ohh, you remember those memories that we shared when were highschool?" Smiling at him in a teasing way trying to lighten up.

"Yeah. so why you come back now?"

" Oh i missed Magnolia so much and of course , you, my bestfriend." She said truthfully.

" Ehh, you should have stay in Alvarez for good."

" Wait? why is that?" Lucy stare at him,confused.

" come on Lucy, don't play dumb. You know from the beginning, were not in a good relationship. Our friendship was long gone. " Natsu raise his voice. hissing at the blond that surprise at his behavior.

" Hey, can you calm down." Lucy touched Natsu's Shoulder in order to him to relax. Natsu seems jolt at the sudden touched of Lucy at him.

"Don't touched me casually." Natsu slapped Lucy's hand.

"Oh my God. "Lucy is pissed right now. Why does this man act like a stranger to her." Natsu, what's wrong with you."

" You should have stayed in Alvarez and stay happy with your family. You shouldn't come back here and start messing with my life." Natsu shouted.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Lucy started shouting too, and wake Summer up.

" Mommy,Are you two fighting?" Summer asked her mother. The child is really frightened. She never see Lucy screamed our shout at anybody.

Natsu ignored the fact that there is a child right now listening to mind clouded that Lucy is a big married woman with a kid. He can't really take that. How about his long term plan for them. To his annoyance, he absentmindedly put his foot down on the accelerator and the car lurched forward. Suddenly , he heard the screaming of the girls.

"Oh my, NATSU, YOU IDIOT... PULL OVER! " the blond screamed. Natsu brought back into reality. To their surprise, they already arrived at their subdivision where they lived. The three of them seemed shocked that their friends are already in front of Lucy's house.

"Look Lucy, I'm really sorry for what happen." Natsu trying to calm his voice.

"Tssk.. Just save it Natsu. If you are angry just don't pour it on others. " Lucy said with stern and cold voice. She step out at the car. Natsu can find any word.

"Hey Uncle Natsu, You know, i really like you. hope we can get along." Summer said to Natsu as she followed her Mom.

Lucy trying to calm herself. She hate Natsu, for saying those words.

Lucy saw her parents already inside their house. She is amazed how their house change. It's not that she doesn't want the old style of the house, it's just the new house feels so homey. Summer hold her hand as they walk to the front door of their home, to their surprise, she see is amazed and surprise when she see her friends standing in their garden.

"WELCOME HOME." Levy and Erza shouted running to her. She can't contain what she feel. She ran towards them and hug.

"Oh my God, Lu. Since when you become a crybaby?" Levy jokingly asked Lucy.

"Natsu made me cry."

"Oh i doubt thaT, lucy. "Erza said at her hugging her too.

"Erza, I miss you so much. It's really been a while." Lucy cried as she felt a tugged in her shirt. It was Summer.

"Well, is this our little Summer?" Levy hug the child.

"Summer?" Erza asked staring at the girl.

"oH My God ? Why is everyone here?" Lucy asked surprisingly saw their friend. One by one their friends go to her and greet them. She is amazed in the surprise party that her friends and Igneel and Grandine prepare for them. All of her friends are there. They run to the blond.

"Hey guys? Do you missed me that much that you will starting your day with my house?" Lucy asked them jokingly as she approach and start hugging the girls.

"Lucy,Who is this beautiful child with you?" Mira said while holding Summer's hand.

"Oh silly me! How can i forget her." Lucy said smiling directly to Summer. She walked to Summer and hold the child's shoulder "Everyone, this baby girl is Summer Heartfilia, my daughter." Lucy stated proudly.

Everyone is silent and shocked as if they being punched in right in the face, except Gajeel ,Levy and Cana.

"You have a daughter?" Erza and Lisanna asked in chorus.

" Ah Yes?" Lucy said as if she is the first woman who have a daughter. Her friends are confused.

Gajeel picked up the child and Levy kissed and Grandine greet the newly arrived neighbor and made way so that they can have the breakfast that they all of them are being rowdy, asking Lucy why didn't she tell them, Natsu is in the car, watching them. They were about to get inside when Gray shouted at him.

"Oi flame head, Are you having your jetlag? Hurry up and get in here."Gray yelled at him.

"I just park the car." He said casually.

"What did you do to Natsu,Lucy?" Layla asked her daughter who were busy talking to Levy and Erza.

"I didn't do anything ma, I swear." Lucy said casually to her Mom.

"Hey,Let's eat. The foods are ready." Grandine tap the shoulder of Layla and turn to Lucy. "Wow, look at you Lucy, your so gorgeous." Grandine complimented Lucy.

"Thanks Aunt too." And they go inside.

~~~~x~~~~

They were eating when Layla mentioned Natsu. That hit them that Natsu wasn't joining them.

"By the way, where's Natsu?" Layla asked eyeing Grandine while the two men Igneel and Jude were busy talking.

"Natsu-nii is in our seems tired after you arrived." Wendy answered Layla honestly.

Layla turned to Lucy who is busy eating the food that Grandine and her prepared."Lucy, i am suspecting something happen back in the car. Knowing you, teasing and being childish."

Lucy's eyes went wide as she heard those words coming from her mother. Her friends are laughing.

"Ma, I didn't do anything. Even of you asked Summer." She pull off her innocent face mode.

"Don't worry about he is really tired. I just bring him food later."Grandine said."You know he recently promoted as General Manager at their company." She said proudly.

"Yeah, Aunt Layla and guess what he is in the middle of planning on building a house in the famous city of Crocus. Isn't that amazing?" Levy stated.

"Gihi, Knowing Salamander is quite hardworking. I think he is planning to married anytime soon." Gajeel said to Layla and winked at Lucy.

"Oh that sure be wonderful. After all you guys are in marriageable age. Levy and Gajeel, when are you planning to get married huh? " Layla teased the two.

" Gihihi... That will be happen soon." Gajeel answered Layla while holding the hands of Levy. Levy face is on fire.

"Well that's good to hear. Mira and Erza have their kids. And about Natsu?" Layla turned to Lucy and Lisanna. Lucy suddenly get nervous. She knew her mother. Layla sure knows what Lucy feels about Natsu. "So Lisanna, are you finally with Natsu?" Layla facing now the white haired girl.

That question make Lucy chocked by the give her water immediately. Levy just chuckled and Lisanna blushed. Lucy hold her breath for a while waiting for Lisanna to answer the question.

"Actually, i have a boyfriend now, Aunt. His name is Bickslow." Lisanna said smiling and proudly.

"Oh, i really thought that you had a thing with Natsu back when you were highschool." Layla said.

"Me too, i can tell that you are really in love with this guy. He better treat you right."Grandine added.

"Yeah, speaking of boyfriends, Lucy we didn't know that you are married." Gray asked Lucy. " Bet that guy have really good genes. I mean looked at... Summerrr?" Gray suddenly sweat dropped as he sense sudden silence. He eyed Lucy it is obvious that she doesn't what to talked about it.

"I'm actually surprised to that Lucy had a child now. I can't imagine that the prankster child will be having a child herself." Erza added as if she were digging some answer. She asked Levy about this as Lucy arrived but she refuse to answer. Cana on the other hand silently drinking her booze watching the blonde with a serious face.

"Gray,when do you plan having a kid? well i thought you already have plan especially with this beautiful lady here, Juvia right?" Lucy turned to Juvia who is smiling at her and hoping that she can shift the topic about Summer.

"We are planning about it." Gray said hugging Juvia. Juvia on the other hand is blushing.

"SoLucy, where is the father of Summer?" Erza asked seriously demanding for answers. Their friends suddenly felt nervous for the sudden seriousness of topic that Erza and Gray opened.

"Lucy, honey i better go with Grandine and your father, they will tour us in our new house." Layla tapped Lucy shoulder giving her an assurance smile. Lucy just nodded.

While the oldies went inside the house,her friends compressed to each other to listen to her , Gajeel and Cana smiled at her.

"Everybody were so eager to hear answers." Lucy laughed nervously.

" I'm feeling so nervous right now." Mira whispers to Lisanna.

"Well Summer is not my daughter." Lucy said to them."She was around 6 months old when she left infront of my apartment when i was studying in France."

Everyone gasped and shocked.

"How cruel the mother who abandoned they child," Erza said giving her sympathy to Lucy.

"Maybe she have her reasons why she do that." Juvia said.

"Well, Luckily you got her Lucy." Mira smiled at her.

" I am so nervous at that time . I don't know how to deal with that i am the only child of the family, i can't handle kids. I reported it but no one claimed Summer. So i made a decision to adopt her and thanks to her my relationship to my dad become good. We bonded often and i know that i don't really hate my dad as i thought way back before Summer came. Mama supported me all the way and used their connections so that i can adopt Summer as my daughter easily.

"Summer seems your real daughter. Having a blond hair,brown eyes and she's smart." Lisanna stated.

" Well she is a blessing to me and i love her so much. I am planning not to tell anyone about this matter but i loved you guys and i really trust you all."

"So Lushii..what if Summer asked about her father, what will you do?" Cana finally joined them.

"Actually ,I am relieved for now that Summer doesn't ask me yet about her father. Honestly i really don't know when that will happen. Of course i will tell her the truth and hopefully she will understands all. "

"What ever happen we will be always at your side Lu chan." Levy hugged her.

Suddenly Gray and Gajeel laughed. The girls stared at them.

" What?" Lucy raised her brows to the two boys.

" Now i know why Flamehead is being upset now.? Gray smirked.

"Salamander got wrong idea about this" Gajeel and Gray high fived.

"Guys, i hope this will remain secret for all of us. I want a peaceful life for Summer." Lucy said to them.

"What about Natsu-nii , Lucy-nee? He doesn't know about this? Wendy asked Lucy.

" I will tell him, when we will be in good terms, you know." Lucy smiled at Wendy." I am having a really bad record for him. i will tell him about summer when we truce? Well when that time will happen." Lucy breathy laughed.

" Is Lucy-san inloved with Natsu-san?" Juvia asked Lucy.
