"Mama, look what Zeref gave me." The little blonde girl was showing a yellow plastic toy ring, to her. She smiled warmly at her daughter. Mrs. Heartfilia was watering the flowers, in the garden. "Does it mean me and Zeref are married?" Little Lucy asked, innocently. "What makes you say that sweetie?" Her mother couldn't help but be amused. "Because mama has a ring," she pointed out. Layla picked up her daughter. "Lucy, you will understand when you're older. Okay?" She kissed her cheek. "Yes, mama. I love you mama," her little arms embraced her mother. "I love you too, my little angel."
The blonde girl was looking affectionately at her boyfriend sleeping form. She had just woken up not long ago. It's not everyday that she witness this angelic sight. She sighs contently. Lucy gently traced the outline of his face with her hand. Zeref did not stir under her touch. "My Lucy," he murmured softly as he smiled in his slumber. Was he dreaming about me? That very thought made her heart flutter.
She laughed silently when she placed a bunny headband, on his head. I know I shouldn't but I couldn't resist. She was sketching him, while standing by the leather chair. It took a while to complete, Lucy shaded to add the finishing touches. She was engrossed in her art to notice his presence. "Is that what you think of me?" She jolted when she felt a pair of arms encircled her waist from behind. His chin was resting on her shoulder. "I …I is not what you think," she blushed. She closed her sketchbook. "I think you're talented." She felt his cool breath on her neck. "Why the bunny ears?" He furrowed his eyebrows. She gently pulled away from him. Lucy put the sketchbook and pencil down on the table. She started laughing. "What's so amusing?" He had a bewildered expression. "You." "What? I don't get it." She was now rolling on the floor, laughing. Zeref went to look at his reflection in the mirror. He instantly blushed, when he noticed that he had a bunny headband on. "Aww, Zeref bunny," she cooed. That only intensified his bashfulness. "Lucy Heartfilia, I have a bone to pick with you," he said in a playful manner.
Zeref started chasing her around the living room. She playfully sticks her tongue out at him, every time he failed to catch her. "Give it up Zeref bunny, you're just too slow." "Never, and please stop calling me that, it's embarrassing." "Why not? It's kawaii." She puffs her cheeks. "I think it looks much better on you," he winks at her. "Did you just wink at me?" She was standing behind the sofa, flustering.
"So what if I did, what are you going to do about it?" He flashed her another wink. She threw cushions at him but he dodged it easily. "It looks like you missed, princess." His grin broadens.

I had received yet another note from him. If you want to find out my identity, please meet me at Tokyo tower at 6pm. Love from your secret admirer. I'm finally here. She took a deep breath and glances at her watch, it stated 6.00 pm. For over a month, I still haven't figured who it is. I'm curious to find out. Her heart was pounding. "Lucy …" She heard a voice calling her. His coat billowed dramatically in the wind. She slowly turned around to face him. "It's you," her eyes went wide.
He gently pulled her into his arms. "All this time, it was you." "Are you happy that it's me?" "Yes, very much," her head was resting on his shoulder. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you Lucy." "Is that a proposal?" She giggled. He cupped her cheek as he kissed her passionately. It was an urgent yet lingering kiss. Hearts were beating wildly. "So?" He was breathless. "My answer is ….."

6 years had passed. They live in a lavish two-storey house. "Darling, we're back," he took his shoes off and put on a pair of slippers. "Welcome home honey," Lucy answered sweetly with a smile. "Mummy, mummy." A little blonde girl ran and hugged her leg. Lucy picked up her four year old daughter. "Did you have fun?" "Yes, daddy took me to the park today," Kokoro's dark brown eyes lit up. She had mixture traits of her parents. Zeref walked over to his wife and kissed her on the cheek. "We had ice cream too." Lucy raised an eyebrow at her husband. "What? I can't spoil our daughter?" His forehead was perspiring. "Mama, daddy won't let me play with Zen." Kokoro puffs her cheeks. "Just this once, you can have a cookie before your nap. How does that sound?" "Yeah!" Kokoro cheered happily. She put Kokoro down and she ran into the dinning room. Lucy pulled him to the kitchen to talk. "Care to explain?" She folded her arms.
"I'm not letting that boy near our daughter," he pouts slightly. "Don't you think you're being overprotective? He's only five." She giggled. "You didn't see … he was holding her hand." "Well, you held my hand when we were little." "That's not the point," he blushed. "Not to mention, you kissed both of my cheeks when no one was looking," she giggled again. "Kokoro is not dating until she's twenty." "Hey, you're kidding right?" She sweat dropped. "You sure are stubborn," she pinched his cheeks. Lucy went to the dinning room to check on her daughter. She saw Kokoro drinking a glass of milk on her little table and chair. "Are you finished sweetie?" "Yes mama," she wiped her own mouth with a tissue. She couldn't help but smile at her little precious daughter.

Lucy tucked her in. "Sweet dreams, Kokoro." "I love you, mama." "Mama, loves you too," she kissed her forehead. Zeref was standing by the door, smile graces his face. Their bundle of joy fell asleep within seconds. Zeref kissed his daughter's forehead before they exited Kokoro's room.

The grand garden was just as beautiful as the house. There were many colourful flowers blooming beautifully and there was a fountain in the middle. It was simply a lovely Japanese garden. Lucy was leaning on the railing of the balcony. She heard gentle music being played in the background. "Would you care to dance?" She turned to face him. "I would love to," she placed her hand in his. He was holding her left hand and other was on her slender waist. Her right hand was resting on his shoulder. They were waltzing gracefully. They truly look content.
This is the life they always dreamed of. With a blissful marriage and an adorable daughter. They couldn't be happier. As long as they are together, they know that they will always be happy as a family.
