Hey everyone. I know that I haven't updated in a while. Truth is I got caught up with my Natsu's Shenanigans fic. Anyway, I hope this chapter will make up for my absence. This will likely be the last chapter if not the second to last. Please enjoy.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
The team of wizards had finally made it back home. Natsu was awake, but too injured to do much. The guild had called Porlyusica to treat the dragon slayer. While they waited for Natsu's wounds to heal, the guild was busy pestering the team about everything that had happened on their journey, but before they could get any answers though, Gildarts began trying to sneak out of the guild without being seen. Much to his dismay, Nab had caught him leaving and asked, "Where are you off to, Gildarts? Natsu will be disappointed if you leave before he can fight you."
The guild members began laughing before Levy chimed in. "He probably doesn't want to kill Natsu with all his injuries." The guild exploded in laughter.
Gildarts silenced them all by screaming, "Are you guys crazy! I don't want to fight Natsu because I don't want to get killed!"
It was silent for a moment until the entire guild, save for the wizards that had witnessed Natsu's fight with Acnologia, screamed, "WHAT!"
Before they could receive an answer, Gildarts blew apart the door and sprinted out of town. The wizards had no choice but to turn to the people who had went along with Natsu. They carefully explained the entire fight, never missing a single detail. Even Makarov had been surprised to hear of Natsu's draconic transformation. He had always known of Natsu's strength and potential, but to turn into a dragon was something that he had never considered possible.
Porlyusica walked down the stairs and was approached by Natsu's friends with hopeful eyes. She sighed tiredly. "He's fine. He just needs to rest up for a couple of days. His magic power is completely drained. He's awake, so you can all go visit him."
The wizards all smiled before rushing up the stairs and bursting into the infirmary. Natsu had his back to the headboard of the bed. He gave his signature toothy grin when he saw his friends. "Hey guys!" They all crowded around him, exclaiming their joy for his safety. Lucy, who had been holding and taking care of Blake, placed him in Natsu's arms. Blake laughed joyfully at the sight of his father.
The team of wizards spent the entire day in the infirmary with Natsu. At one point, after Natsu had just fed Blake, he tried to burp the child. After feeling something on his back, he turned and asked, "Hey guys, did Blake throw up on me?"
The wizards had to hold in a scream when they saw Natsu's back covered in fire. "Natsu," Erza began. "Blake just spit fire on you."
"What!" Natsu yelled. "What the heck!"
"Calm down, Natsu. Babies often do that." Erza explained.
"I know that! I'm mad that he can breath fire! I couldn't do that until I was like four years old!"
The wizards laughed at Natsu's jealousy. It wasn't long before he joined in himself.
A month had passed and everything was back to normal. Natsu had been at home when he heard a knock at his door. He was surprised to see Samuel at his door. "Hello Natsu." He said.
"Samuel? What are you doing here?"
"I came because I was hoping that you'd be fine if I spent some time with my grandson. I know that after I caught you that night, I didn't act my best, but I hope that you could see it in your heart to-"
"Are you kidding? Get in here!" Natsu waved the old man in.
He didn't move for a second. "I-Thank you, Natsu."
While he played with Blake, Samuel couldn't help but be reminded of his daughter. Several tears had flowed down his face, but he remained strong. Natsu eventually stood up and told Samuel to follow him outside. Doing as he asked, Samuel followed Natsu to the back of the house where a beautifully cut tombstone sat. Under a Fairy Tail emblem read the words "Here lies Marie Greenfield. Beloved mother, wife, and daughter."
Natsu turned to Samuel with a solemn face. "I know that we had never gotten married, but I hope that you like it. I know that she has a grave in your village, but I wanted to make one here too so that she could watch Blake grow up."
Samuel could no longer hold it in. Tears flowed down his face uncontrollably. He fell to the ground in front of the tombstone. "It's beautiful, Natsu." He said through the tears. "Thank you."
Years and passed and Fairy Tail had a seven ten year old dragon slayer running around the guild with a scarf similar to Natsu's. He chased after a girl with dark blue hair while a black haired boy chased him. Natsu his son from the bar along with his team. Gray turned to the dragon slayer and chuckled. "You know they're just like us when we were that old."
"Yep. Fire is still beating ice it seems too." Natsu said with a cocky grin.
"Oh please, even one of my kids could beat Blake, and they're a year younger!"
"You wish! Blake is a dragon slayer!"
"Natsu! Gray! What have I told you about fighting?!" Erza cried.
"But were not fighting, Erza." Natsu said defeatedly.
"I know! You're pinning your own children against each other! That's even worse!"
Erza's wrath was interrupted when Blake had run up to his father. "Hey Dad, can we go on a job?!"
Natsu gave a smug grin. "You bet! What type of job do you want to go on?"
"I want to hunt a monster!"
"Alright, let's go!"
The others watched as Natsu and Blake walked off. "You know, I remember when he was too protective of Blake to let him do anything." Gray said.
"Well he's grown a lot. Natsu says that when Blake is a teenager, he'll teach him how to use the lightning flame dragon technique." Lucy said.
Gray's children both ran up to him. "Hey Dad, can we go on a monster hunting quest like Blake?" The boy asked.
Gray kneeled down. "Sorry guys, but your mother would kill me if we did that."
"Come on! Blake isn't even half as strong as us and he gets to do it!" Complained the girl.
Gray rubbed his chin in thought for a moment. "You know what? You're right! If his kid can handle a monster, mine can surely handle one too!"
"Gray, I will tell Juvia if you continue this fight between you and Natsu!" Erza yelled.
Gray grabbed his children and ran out of the guild, grabbing the first monster job he could find as he did so. Erza gave a tired sigh while Lucy laughed. "Fairy Tail is still as crazy as ever." She told the red haired mage.
"Wait until those kids grow up. I'll be pulling my hair out." Erza replied.
The guild was truly as crazy as it ever was. Natsu was still an idiot, but now he had a partner. Gray had finally gotten together with Juvia and had two children together. Twins in fact. When news of Juvia's pregnancy had hit the guild, everyone knew that there would be a new rivalry in the guild. Makarov nearly passed out at the thought of the damages he'd have to pay for when Natsu and Gray had back up in their fights. Even with that in mind, Makarov couldn't help but be happy at the sight of their ever growing family.
Alright, how'd you like it? This will be the last chapter for this specific fic, but if I continue, I'll start off around this same place. I didn't have any names for Gray's children because I wanted to ask all of you what you think their names should be if I continue this fic. Send them to me as messages or put it as a review. If I do actually start a sequel it will probably be long after now, but if I get inspiration and motivation, I may start earlier. Anyway, I hope you all liked it. I love you all. It's been a pleasure having you all read my fic. I can't thank you enough. If you want a more comedic thing involving Natsu's stupidity check out my Natsu's Shenanigans fic. They're a bunch of one-shots that involve stupid stuff I think Natsu would do as well as some funny romance fics. Most of them a crack ships though so if you don't like those, I'm sorry. Anyway, thank you again. I love you all. *Give's Fairy Tail salute*
