Bisca's Apartment, Wednesday 9:48 a.m.
"Mmmhmmm..." Natsu licked his lips, still asleep on the bed. The only difference between now and before he got into the bed was now he had the whole bed to himself. His mature ladies must've woken up and planned on how to get through the day with no electricity. But he was sure they'd find a way around it, just like they always did. So right now all he had to do was just sleep there and be immersed in whatever dream he was currently having.
He reached out towards the ceiling with his hands and made a squeezing gesture. "Come here Layla~" he giggled perversely. "I've got something for you!" So yeah, Natsu was having a sex dream. Who would've guessed?
Bisca, who was standing at the door, holding her hand over her mouth to stifle the giggles, wondered if she should interrupt and inform him that they managed to make breakfast with her gas oven. Man, she had to thank Alzack for managing to get the landlord to allow it in their apartment.
But deciding that he's had enough sleep (which he hasn't), Bisca gently climbed on to the bed. "Natsu! Time to wake up~" the emerald haired woman sang. "Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey!"
Natsu gave a soft groan as he slowly opened his eyes, a little upset that he was ripped from such a great dream, but pleasantly surprised to smell bacon.
"Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey?" Natsu repeated with a teasing tone. "What kind of rhyme is that? What were you raised on a farm or something?" He joked.
Bisca pursed her lips and put her hands on her hips. "Yes, in fact I was!" She said defensively, not liking how he so blatantly made fun of her upbringing.
Natsu chuckled. "Haha, wait..." Natsu said as his facial expression turned into a confused one. "You were? Where?" In all his years, Natsu has never seen a single farm in Japan.
"I'm from Kansas," Bisca stated, thinking he knew where that was.
He didn't. "Where the fuck is Kansas!?" He asked.
"America!" She pouted. In all honesty, Bisca thought he knew this about her. After all, she recalls telling him about her homeland when he was just a little brat playing with his Legos.
Natsu looked shocked. "America!? As in the United States of America!?" When she nodded, he settled down a bit. "Huh, I've had sex with an American chick..." he realized.
"And?" Bisca looked at him expectingly.
"My baby's gonna be half American..." Natsu continued.
"Our baby." Bisca corrected.
Natsu just smiled contently. "You do realize now that we have to name our kid Chuck Norris now, right?" He smirked.
Bisca laughed tauntingly at the thought and crossed her arms. "Absolutely not." She told him.
Natsu turned his head with a pout. "Meanie. I don't hear you coming up with names!" He defended himself.
"Because I'm taking it easy! I don't think that far ahead! But I do love your enthusiasm though." She admitted.
"Then how about-" Bisca silenced him with her finger.
"Let's wait on the naming process," she smiled softly, looking at him with adoring eyes. "Let's just start with breakfast, okay?" She asked him. Natsu nodded and pulled himself up so now Bisca wasn't sitting on his thighs but rather his lap now.
Natsu and Bisca both blushed from their faces being in such close proximity to each other's. "And what is for breakfast exactly?" Natsu asked.
"Eggs and bacon, I think," Bisca told him, staring intently at his lips. Natsu noticed her eyes on his lips and decided to ask.
"Hey Bisca, my eyes are up here," he joked, causing her to frown playfully and fall back on to the bed.
Natsu simply climbed over her and made his way towards the door. "You better hurry Bisca or your food will get eaten up! I'd hate to be starving in this drafty house!"
Bisca sighed as she rolled over, not believing he just walked over her for breakfast. She picked herself up, shaking her head, and followed him.
Layla and Ur had gotten dressed into their usual clothes, Ur was in her pant suit and Layla wore jeans and a T-shirt. Natsu was just thankful they had clothes on since Asuka was seated in her high chair right by the kitchen island. Ur had a coffee mug in her hand and was looking at her phone while Layla manned the stove, cooking what was sure to be a delicious breakfast.
"Good morning!" Natsu greeted the two with a little pep in his step.
"Good morning Natsu!" Layla chirped back as she moved the scrambled eggs off of the first burner. "I hope you're hungry."
Ur chuckled to herself as she took a sip of her coffee. "I know I'm not~" Ur purred.
"Ur! Don't talk like that when my baby is sitting right next to you!" Bisca scolded the dark haired woman.
"Oh relax, B. This baby girl doesn't even understand a word I'm saying!" Ur then turned to Asuka. "Spaghetti." Asuka laughed at the foreign word, furthering illustrating Ur's point.
Bisca crossed her arms and let out a small laugh at her baby's cuteness. "That doesn't prove anything, I just don't want Asuka to grow up and be a foul mouth. Right Natsu?" She turned to him and asked.
Natsu, who was looking over Layla's shoulder (not for the reason you think perverts) to watch her cook, looked back and nodded. "Aye, I would rather not have to go meet the principal about that kinda stuff."
Layla giggled happily as he said that. "Oh! You two are thinking that far ahead!? That's adorable!" She squealed.
Ur took another sip of her coffee and took a plate from Layla as it was offered to her. "Yeah, I'm happy for you guys. Not only does Natsu get a kid when he graduates but he also gets a home."
"If Alzack is willing to let go of it that is," Layla chimed in.
Bisca scratched her head on that. "Yeah, about that... the apartment is kinda in his name and since I don't want to be a bitch and steal it..." she trailed off.
"You can live with me!" Layla shouted. "Oh it'll be so much fun! Like one long sleepover!"
Ur decided to throw her hat in the ring. "Or with me! You guys know how much I want a big family."
Natsu took a plate from Layla and sat down on a bar stool next to Ur. "Umm actually, I want you to live with me." He spoke up, surprising the women around him.
Bisca's eyes widened. "W-What? With you?"
"Yeah!" Natsu said nonchalantly. "We already have a huge house, it's bigger than Layla's." Of course this was not news to them but still, Layla didn't like to acknowledge that, which was weird considering she was not normally a competitive person.
"It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it..." the blonde whimpered.
"No it's definitely the size that counts." Ur stated.
"Can we not make innuendo about penises! Natsu just asked me to move in with his family!" Bisca shouted. "This is big!"
Ur and Layla just looked at her with pitying looks. "If I was you, I would've moved into that hotel the minute he knocked me up." Ur said, giving her two cents.
"Same," Layla nodded at Ur's point.
"Hell, Igneel's going to love having you in the family, after they all beat the hell out of Natsu of course!" Ur cackled. Ur always loved a beat down, she didn't really care about Natsu and Gray wrestling when they were younger but she always placed bets in her head.
Natsu just grumbled as he ate his eggs. "Well at least Bisca has some shame about this..." he sulked. He wasn't ready. He knew his whole family will be lining up to get a few hits in when they found out he did the deed with his old babysitter. Well, maybe not Wendy, she'd probably patch him up afterwards but she probably wasn't going to kiss the boo boo!
Bisca sighed as she looked at Asuka. "We can talk about this later, right now I just want to get Asuka some place warm, it's a little too cold in here, even with the stove on."
Layla hummed in agreement. "Then I suggest we go to my house, I'm pretty sure we have some back up generators."
Ur put down her newspaper. "If that's the case, I'll meet y'all over there in a little bit. I need to go check up on my kids and make sure they're doing okay without me." She said as she got up.
"Well see if they want to come over to my house, we have plenty of room and heat." Layla smiled.
"Will do." Ur nodded and turned to Natsu. "See ya later pookie." She leaned over and pecked him on the lips before grabbing her purse and walking out of the door.
Natsu just went back to eating while Bisca and Layla looked at him with shocked looks on their faces.
"What?" He asked them.
"That's the first time Ur has ever kissed you on the lips in front of us and not during sex." Bisca awed.
"Yeah, in fact, that's the first time she's ever shown you any love beyond that of lust." Layla observed.
Natsu blushed and waved them off. "Oh come on, you guys are reading too much into it. Me and Ur just got a little closer lately, nothing too special."
"Alright Natsu, whatever you say..." Layla trailed off before looking at Bisca. "I'd keep my eye on them B, Ur might become his number one." She giggled.
Bisca just looked at her with a blank stare. "Just get your car warmed up and I'll be down with Asuka in a minute." She said tonelessly.
Natsu let out a small chuckle as he began to quickly scarf down the food.
Heartfilia Estate, Wednesday 10:28 a.m.
"Lucy! I'm home!" Layla hollered out as she walked through the foyer with Natsu, Bisca, and Asuka in tow. They heard footsteps rumbling and soon the majority of the family's personal staff came to greet the mother and inform her of all that has occurred since she left.
"Alright! Alright!" Layla waved off her adoring maids and butlers and shooed them away. "Give me some space!" She snapped her fingers and they all scrambled off to go do their duties.
But when they cleared the main hall, Lucy came bolting down the stairs with a smile. "Mom!" She yelled and ran to hug her mom.
Layla smiled as she raced to meet her daughter and they leaped to embrace. "Oh sweetie I missed you so much! I don't care that it's only been a day!"
Lucy gripped her mom tightly in her arms. "I love you so much!"
"And I love you!" Layla shouted.
Bisca and Natsu just looked at each other. "Wow..." Bisca sighed, nudging him in the arm.
Natsu just rocked Asuka in his arms. "I know right! They're overly affectionate! They've only been separated for not even a day!" He whispered back.
After a few minutes, Layla and Lucy released and now Lucy could see the others there behind her mom. "Natsu! Bisca! What are you two doing here?" She asked as she went to hug Bisca.
Bisca returned the hug. "My apartment building's power went out and Layla said we could stay here for a little while." She told the blonde.
"The city's power is out?" She asked.
Natsu laughed at how clueless the blonde was to their problem. "Haha wow Lucy! You're so pampered and spoiled!"
Lucy blushed and let go of Bisca. "Oh shut up! You wouldn't know either if you were in your house!" Lucy defended herself.
"But I was at Bisca's with your mom and Ur! So ha!" Natsu laughed at her mockingly.
"Natsu!" Bisca and Layla glared.
"Don't tell her that! She'll think we're up to something!" Bisca swatted at his shoulder, careful not to alarm Asuka.
"Oh relax!" Natsu sighed. "She and the others already know about us Bisca. They know about me and you as well as Ur and Layla. There's no point in hiding it anymore!"
Bisca looked at Lucy with wide eyes. "You know?"
Lucy nodded. "Yeah, so do Erza, Gray, Meredy, and Ultear. Well, there are also some more who know too." She said honestly.
Layla and Bisca turned to glare at Natsu. "Are you just going all over town bragging about it?" They asked.
"No I haven't! I swear!" He began to cower as they stalked towards him. "Don't hit me! I'm carrying a baby!"
"Relax mom, we're not mad at you guys, just Natsu. In fact, we have a deal of sorts worked out with him." Lucy told Layla.
Bisca turned to the young blonde with a raised brow. "A deal? Do tell..."

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter but this week has been full of weird and crazy things that have prevented me from putting most of my effort into writing. That and with the unveiling of my plan to put Erza's Book up for adoption. But next chapter I'm sure to be able to get to Natsu fulfilling the tasks set before him by the kids. Let's just hope all goes to plan.
