Laxus groaned as he peeled his face off the table he was slouched over. Stretching as he rubbed his eyes, he enjoyed the way almost every bone in his body popped. He noticed a half empty mug of beer in front of a passed out Bickslow, and he downed it before he took a look around. It seemed like everyone had passed out last night. Bodies were strewn around every which way, and he scanned them all for two heads of blonde hair. Finding them in the middle of the guild, he got up and made his way over to them. He smiled when he looked at them, they were cuddled together with contented smiles on their faces. Bending down, he made sure that Lily was securely in her mother's arms before he picked Lucy up. Grunting, he lifted them both up, muttering, "time to get you girls home." He only stumbled a few times as he tried not to step on anyone's face as he made his way out of the guild. He decided not to wake them up by teleporting, so he stumbled his way home on foot.


Lucy yawned as she slowly regained consciousness. Cracking an eye open, she noticed that she was in her usual room and she was suddenly very confused. She could have sworn she fell asleep on the floor, for reasons that were beyond her. She looked to her side and saw Lily still snoozing away and she smiled. Tucking a small strand of hair behind her ear, she leaned down and placed a light kiss on her forehead. The little girl groaned and turned on her other side, dragging the rest of the blanket with her, leaving Lucy bare.

Lucy could only roll her eyes with a smile, she should probably get up anyways. Stretching as she got out of bed, she made her way to the bathroom to take a much needed shower. She stopped at the door when she saw the guild mark in her hand and she grinned. So it wasn't all a dream.

After her shower, she walked down to the kitchen to help make breakfast, but her breath was stolen from her when she entered the kitchen. Laxus was sitting there with nothing but some grey sweatpants on, sipping a cup of whatever it was and reading the paper. He clearly took a shower too and god damn was he sexy. She took a deep breath when his eyes made contact with hers, a spark shooting through her body. "Goodmorning."

"Morning." He grunted, she already knew he wasn't a morning person.

"Where's the rest of your team?" She asked as she opened the refrigerator to grab eggs and bacon.

"Probably still passed out in the guild. I didn't hear them come in at all."

"Thank you for bringing us back here." Although she had no idea how she could have slept through that.

He just shrugged. "Didn't see a reason for my girls to sleep on the floor."

She was glad she wasn't facing him because her face burned bright red at his words, steam practically came out of her ears. She busied herself with making breakfast instead of trying to figure out what he meant by that.

Laxus watched her as she cooked, pretending to read the paper whenever she would turn around. He couldn't deny that there was a connection between them. He noticed it a while ago, but he didn't want to act on anything since he had a girlfriend, he wasn't that kind of guy. Now though... everything was different, he was a free man. He could tell she was attracted to him with the way she would get flustered by little things he did. He definitely noticed. He also remembered however, that she did in fact admit that she was a virgin. He couldn't deny his hunger for her, but he also wasn't too used to virgins. He felt like he had to tread carefully, especially since they had a daughter... what a backwards way of doing shit, he though as he sipped his morning whiskey.

Deciding to have at least a little fun, he got up and made his way to her, enjoying the way her breath hitched when he pressed against her backside. "What are you making?"

His hot breath against her ear made her shiver, she so wasn't prepared for this. "B-breakfast."

He chuckled, even when she was obviously nervous, she was still sassy. Moving her hair to the side, he dragged a finger from her neck all the way down to her lower back. "I can think of something more interesting."

Her mouth dropped open, but before she could say anything, little feet paddled into the kitchen.

"Yay, food!"

They broke apart at Lily's shouting. Lucy sighed in relief, while Laxus sighed in defeat. He bent down and picked his cheerful daughter up, planting a kiss on her cheek despite her protest. "And what does the princess want to eat?"

"Eggs!" She cheered as she slowly poked his cheek with her finger. "All the eggs."

"Don't tell me you don't want some pig fat." Lucy smirked as she held up a piece of bacon.

Lily grimaced. "Pigs are cute!"

Laxus smirked as he put her down. "Just like you!"

She screamed when he reached towards her and she ran out of the room. Lucy rolled her eyes, she was bound to get traumatized eventually by one of these people.


"Ey, Lucy!"

"Hey, Natsu." She reciprocated as he sat down next to her at a table in the guild. Lily was coloring a with a little boy named Romeo next to her.

"I gotta question."

"Whatsup?" She tilted her head.

"Are you gonna go on a job? Cuz I have the perfect one in mind."

She hummed and looked at her daughter, then looked back at the pink haired boy. "I'm not sure that's such a good idea right now. Maybe when she's a little bit older."

"Aww c'mon! There are plenty of people that could watch her!" Natsu protested.

"I wanna go on a job, mama!" Lily shouted with a grin as she tugged on her sleeve.

Lucy couldn't help but smile at her, she was so outgoing already. "Pretty soon, sweetheart. We just need a little more time to train first."

Lily pouted and went back to her coloring. Romeo tried to comfort her. "Don't worry, my old man tells me I gotta wait till I'm older." That just made Lily sigh. "But one day," he continued with a triumphant grin. " I'm gonna be stronger than Natsu!"

Natsu laughed and patted the boy on the back. "I'll look forward to fighting you, buddy!" Lucy smiled at them, they were all such a big family here it was still so crazy to her.

"Lucy! Lu!"

Said girl barely moved as she watched Levy excitedly run up to her and plop down next to her. "Lucy! Your book is amazing! I can't believe that ending! The romance! The adventure! I can't breathe!"

"Shrimp, if you don't calm down yet little heart's gonna implode." Gajeel berated as he slid in next to her.

"It's explode, Gajeel, and how can I calm down when this book is such a masterpiece and I got to be the first one to read it!" Levy finished with a giant grin.

"Thank you so much, levy." Lucy grinned. She had never actually met a fan before. "I can't believe you read the whole thing already!"

"That's all she's been doing." Gajeel grumbled.

"I told you we would take a mission when I was done. Aren't you glad I finished so fast?" Levy chided, yet the only response the man gave was a grunt.

Lucy softly giggled behind her hand, those two were so cute to her. However, the sheer difference in body mass made her curious about a few things and also a little scared for the smaller girl.

Suddenly, a fist found it's way directly into Gajeel's face, making the man fall off the bench. "What the fuck?!" He yelled as he got up ready to fight.

"Your face is ugly!" Natsu shouted as he stood in front of his in a fighting stance.

"Yer gonna regret that, fire freak!" Gajeel yelled before he charged at the raging idiot.

Levy rolled her eyes and turned back to a stunned Lucy. "So, Lu. Made any progress with a certain someone?"

"Shhh, Levy! He can hear you!" Lucy hastily whispered and they both inconspicuously tried to glance up at the hulking man on the second floor. His eyes were closed and he had his sound pods over his ears, which made Lucy sigh in relief. "I have so much to tell you, just not here."

"Okay then, wanna grab lunch at the cafe?" Levy pleaded.

"Absolutely!" Lucy grinned. "Let me find someone to watch Lily first."

"Of course!" Levy nodded then turned her attention to the little girl. "Is it okay if I steal your mom away for lunch?"

Lily peeked up under her eyelashes. "I'm not her mother."

"Oh of course, silly me." Levy waved her hand then giggled along with Lucy.

Suddenly, a very loud bell rang through the guildhall, only it sounded like it came from outside. It happened again, and Lucy looked around in curiosity when everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the guild doors in anticipation and glee. "What's going on?" She asked Levy.

"Oh, right!" Levy turned to Lucy in surprise, she forgot that she was new. "Gildarts is coming! The whole town splits apart when he comes back because of his magic. If he bumps into anything it could shatter into a million pieces."

"Wow, someone should tell him to be more careful." Lucy mumbled in awe.

"That's amazing! I wanna see!" Lily cheered.

"Come on! I'll show ya!" Natsu grinned as he grabbed Lily's hand and dragged her to the doors. Lucy could see the town moving in two different directions through the door and her jaw dropped.

After a few minutes, a very large man with red hair, a large, brown cloak, and a tan sack slung over his shoulder walked through the open doors. "Hey everyone!" He greeted with a large grin.

"Welcome back, Gildarts!" The whole guild cheered.

"Gildarts, fight me!" Natsu shouted as he charged towards the man with flaming fists. To Lucy's horror, the man casually knocked Natsu into the wall, ending the fight instantly. Quickly, she scanned the guild for her daughter since that flaming boy had been the one to drag her away and was now stuck inside the wall. She sighed in relief when she found her pointing to the large man while talking to Mira.

She felt really bad for the woman, even though she had been the one to break up with Laxus, she couldn't help but feel like it was her fault. Mira didn't seem too upset though, so she hoped she was doing okay. As most of the guild gathered around the newly returned member, Lucy's eyes drifted upstairs to the man that had been on her mind all day. He was just sitting there, paying no kind to anyone or anything. She couldn't deny the way her body lot up like a wildfire when he was near her. And dear god this morning left her so flustered she barely knew how to act. She wasn't entirely sure how to feel about it though, she wasn't sure if he was just rebounding, but his teasing was driving her crazy.

He seemed to sense her staring at him, because he suddenly smirked and opened one eye to look directly at her. Blushing, she quickly turned away and focused on the smoothie that was set in front of her.

"Are you ready, Lu?"

Levy snapped her out of her embarrassment and she almost choked on her smoothie when she remembered they had just made plans. "Yes! Let me just ask Evergreen if she can watch her."

"Okay!" Levy grinned.

Lucy got up and made her way to the stairs. When she got halfway up the stairs, a giant hand was suddenly in her way, and she followed the elongated arm to see it belonged to the master, and she sent him a questioning look.

"The second floor is only for S class members. Sorry my dear." He smiled and retracted his hand.

"Oh." Lucy mumbled as she slowly came back down the stairs. She looked up to see Laxus looking back at her and she knew he would be able to hear her, so she asked. "Laxus, can you ask Ever if she can watch Lily while I grab lunch with someone?" She saw lean towards the woman and mouth something, probably the question she just asked. He then looked back down at her and nodded. Well, that was easy, she thought as she made her way back to Levy. "Okay! Let's go!"

"Yay!" Levy hopped up and looped her arms in Lucy's. "I've been dying to try their baguettes!"

Lucy giggle and turned their course to her daughter. "Lily, sweetie, me and Levy are gonna go run an errand really quick, but aunt Ever is gonna watch you, okay?"

"Okay, mama! I'm gonna draw you a dragon!" Lily grinned before she ran back over to their table to do just that.

Lucy smiled and turned to Levy. "Now I'm ready."

"Yes!" Levy cheered. They both left the guild arm in arm and giggling with each other. Lucy couldn't believe how amazing her life had gotten so quickly. She felt like she was home with real family, and she hoped that would never change.
