****Fifteen Years after Celestial Mage Wanted*****

He could sense it. After over a decade of parenting it was no surprise that he could just feel it. It was a gut wrenching feeling one that for sure always sent him in to action no matter the time of day. One of his babies was crying.

Looking around the guild he did a mental check of his brood. Layla was on the other side of the guild having a conversation with Storm the boy leaning close and whispering into her ear causing her to blush...he'd deal with that later. Igneel was in the middle of a fight with Damian and Reese...his kid really needed to work on protecting his right side. Saraphina was flirting with Ren, Eyelashes batting, shy giggling and twirling the few strands of hair that framed her face ...another thing he'd deal with later. Nash had his nose stuck in a book... Typical. Jude and Michelle we talking with Lucy about something Luna in her mother's arms. Ryu was butting heads with Korin, the Sting replica losing...as to be expected. But there was someone missing.

"Nayla," he whispered looking for his daughter's scent and upon finding it he smelt what he had sensed, tears.

Now living in a house of mostly girls, Natsu had become accustomed to the scent. Sure it still made him mad when his girls were upset but as the children grew older and closer to their teen years he had learned that the influx of hormones cause so many tears that he didn't immediately get piss off at it like he used to. Following the scent he made his way to the top floor to one of the restrooms. Peeking his head in he found her.

There on the floor was his missing daughter in front of a mirror and surrounded by various magazines he knew her sisters had purchased. Which was odd, Nayla was never one to care about her appearance, ever the tomboy much to Natsu's delight. Unlike Saraphina and Michelle who once puberty had hit both had turned into miniature Lucy's in both looks and vanity.

"Okay what's wrong?" Natsu asked hoping this wasn't the cause of something too terribly silly.

"I'm ugly!" She sobbed finally crumbling down her pink hair falling into brown eyes.

"Hey now what does your mother say about lying?" Natsu asked as he bent down scooping his child into his arms, sitting on the floor blocking the door.

"It's not a lie... It's the truth," Nayla sobbed as she buried her face into her hands.

"What gave you an insane idea like that?" Natsu asked as he looked down at his daughter.

"I'm not stupid," she groaned trying to escape her dad's hold.

"I never said you were but if someone told you that you were ugly then I'm gonna deal with em," Natsu growled holding on tightly till his daughter stopped fighting.

"No one told me I just know," she huffed as she stopped struggling.

"Okay explain it to me then," the father said quietly adjusting his hold so that he could look her in the eye.

"Well Layla looks so much like mom even when she was my age and I know she doesn't care about appearances being blind and all but she is so pretty," Nayla began as she rubbed the tears out of her eyes. "And Saraphina has to be pretty and to make matters worse she does everything she can to not look pretty but that's all people say about her," she continued. "And all the boys get so nervous when they talk to Michelle and even Jason said that she was going to be a beauty just like mama," Nayla spoke as tears formed in her eyes again. "You know what they say about me? They say nothing, my magic's nothing special so obviously that means I'm ugly!" Nayla sobbed as Natsu held her closer.

He let her cry until she had no more tears in her before speaking.

"Hey now, look as far as magic goes, unlike most of your siblings you weren't born with a specific kind of magic you chose yours," Natsu said proudly as he looked down at his daughter. "Wind magic is difficult to learn under any circumstances but you are exceeding expectations just like a Dragneel does," the fire dragon slayer said as he wiped the tears off of her cheeks. "Now as far as your looks go I think you are beautiful," he cooed tucking a strand of pink tress behind her ear.

"You have to say that you're my dad," the girl sighed.

"That's true but don't ever compare yourself to your sisters. If we let her Layla would look a mess all the time, your mother is the one who makes sure her hair and clothes are taken care of every day. Saraphina can't help it, as a siren she was born to be beautiful, and you know very well that she hides it because she knows that most others won't be able to withstand it. And the little that seeps out just shows how strong she is," Natsu said as he tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear.

His second eldest daughter had taken extreme measures to keep her natural magic at bay. Once she discovered that simply having boys just fantasize about her even if she did nothing to provoke it caused her magic to spiral the second she used it. So Saraphina had taken to wearing an extremely baggie hoddie, sweatpants, and huge rimmed glasses everywhere her blonde hair pulled up in a messy bun. Now it took a moment of study for anyone to recognize the beauty under her facade. All in all it was a look that he wished all of his daughters would adopt.

"And Michelle... Michelle may be a carbon copy of Luce but do you know what makes you beautiful?" Natsu asked as he readjusted the girl in his arms.

"No," Nayla muttered as she tucked her head under his chin.

"You my dear sweet little Nayla are the perfect mix of your mom and I, you have Lucy's hair but my color, my smile and Lucy's cute button nose. My eyes but her chocolate color that I never fail to get lost in. Lucy's stubbornness," Natsu listed off as he daughter snorted in amusement.

"Mom says I get my stubbornness from you," she laughed as her father shook his head ignoring his girl.

"Shhh, you fight like me but you definitely got your mom's kick," Natsu said rubbing the bruises on his rib that Nayla had given him the last time they spared.

"Why does all of that matter?" Nayla asked as she looked back at the magazines.

"Because it is what makes you beautiful, and if any boy or magazine tries to tell you otherwise you not only have us but you have all of Fairy Tail that will pulverize them into dust," Natsu growled lighting the offending paper on fire.

"Dad!" Nayla shouted in annoyance as she put out the flames leaving the magazines as nothing more than a pile of ash.

Natsu pulled his daughter back against him as he rocked back and forth humming the song that never failed to put her to sleep when she was a baby. Soon she grew heavy in his arms her breathing steady as Nayla fell asleep.

"Works every time," Natsu whispered as he heard a knock on the door finding his mate's scent right behind it.

"Natsu do you know where Nayla is I can't find her," Lucy asked from the other side of the door picking up the scent of burnt paper as she groaned in exasperation at the fact that her now almost forty year old husband still set things on fire just because he felt like it.

"She's right here Luce," Natsu said as he cradled his daughter like he used to when she was a baby. "Every beautiful once,"
