Over five-thousand that is how many people have read this story. Over five-thousand. I don't really care if they liked it or not, so as thanks I plain to make this a longer and more detailed chapters than before. When I saw this today I got so excited that so many people took interest in my story. So I can't wait for your opinion on this next chapter in the story. Quick shout out to Mayor Hawkeye, Earth Dragon Arnignt, and STARSTRONGPAPA for supporting and reviewing this.
Guildhall Natsu's P.O.V.
After receiving the kings letter Master had a sheet passed out that showed who was going to Tenro Island. I pulled Gajeel aside and said, "Hey Gajeel we need to talk."
He didn't seem to surprised that I was being as serious as I was but was still shocked at my tone. "Alright Salamander what is this all about. I'm running short on time to pack."
I ran my right hand through my hair and said, "There is something important that I really need to know. Did Matalica tell you anything about our mating rituals ?"
Gajeel ran his hand down his face while trying to think back to the under detailed mating lesson he had been given by his father. "Yea, I think remember a little bit about the subject. Why? Is this about Erza's old friend and you?" I clenched my fist behind back as I held my silence. "Or could this be about the fact that the little runt isn't really yours?"
I visibility flinched when I learned that he found me out about me so fast. A huge grin was plastered on his face. "I'm gonna rip that ugly mug off your fucking face you stupid bastard." I thought to myself I was now visibility shacking with rage "No. this is most certain not about the latter."
Gajeel's grin faded when the knuckles on my fists turned wight. "Calm down salamander I wouldn't tell anyone about your little secret. Don't worry though Wendy shouldn't be able to figure that out. She's still not quite strong enough yet to tell how to separate the difference between the little one's scent and your own gehe."
I face-palmed when I realized that I had completely forgotten about there enhanced senses. "I'm not to worried about Wendy yet, and hopefully my scent will have rubbed off on Naomi enough that when Wendy gets stronger that it wouldn't be to noticeable anymore."
Gajeel smirked at my comment. He sat down at an unoccupied table and invited me to join. "Now," Gajeel began, "What is it that you want to know so bad that you would be willing to ask me?" I was bothered by his cocky attitude. I wasn't quite sure how to say it to make it sound like I wasn't a complete fucking idiot.
Guildhall Master's office Makarov P.O.V.
I sighed as I sat down at my desk. The stress of the day was slowly catching up to me. I sat beck into my chair, cupped my hands with my face and took a deep breath. I looked at the sheet of paper that I had handed out that morning stating with members of the guild would be going. I heard a knock on the door before it opened.
I saw Mira walk into my office before she said, "Master the guild is ready to leave. Are you ready yet?"
I sat up and said, "Yea, I think I'm good. Let's go." I stood up and walked with Mira out of the office. When I left the office I noticed that every one on the first floor was more then ready.
A few of the of the people that were talking quieted down before someone asked, "Hey Master, when we heading out."
I laughed and then yelled "Right now so get off your asses and head to the docks, Macao I want you in charge while we are out don't screw this up." He smiled and nodded his head. Then I put my hand into the air and formed my fingers into the guilds signature and yelled at the top of my lungs, "For Fairy Tail!" The cheer I received was almost defining. I smiled, jumped down onto the first floor and we left the Guild with wide smiles on our faces and made for Tenrou Island.
Milliana P.O.V.
I paced around the guild trying to make up my mind about what to do about the situation.
"Mil, would you please stop your pacing is making me sick." said Kagura from her seat with her head in her hands.
"Sorry about that Kagura." I said still not stopping. "I'm just so worried I don't know what I'm supposed to do." Kagura motioning for me to sit next to her.
"It's gonna be OK Mil," she said, "Natsu will not hold this against you. He's not that kind of person." I looked up at her with tears in my eyes.
"Are you sure Kagura he seemed pretty upset." I asked.
Kagura giggled, "Yes Mil, I sure Natsu will forgive you." She stood up and hugged me, whether or not it as to stop me from pacing she didn't let on. "Besides he would be stupid not to. Your a fantastic girl Milly, and I don't know a man alive that would disagree with me."
I squeezed her back and started to cry softly. "This time I'm afraid that theirs nothing I can do I know Natsu's not the tops to hold grudges, but this time it involved his daughter."
Kagura pulled back from the hug and looked me in my eye's. "Milly what do you mean by his daughter."
I looked at the ground and sighed, I spoke softly. "Kagura, I'm gonna tell you something... Something that you must promise me, promise me, that you won't ever tell anyone else."
Kagura took her left hand and placed it on my cheek and said, "Of course Milly, I promise. Now tell me before I can he my mind."
We chuckled for a moment to let the tension ease, and then I looked back at her with a tears building in my eyes. "Naomi's not really my daughter and Natsu's... He's not really my boyfriend, but no matter how much I tell myself that I can't... I can't imagine the rest of my life without them."
I was so distraught that I hadn't noticed that Kagura had pulled me into a hug, and had started crying along with me. I tightened by grip and began to cry uncontrollably as she tried to calm me down. She placed her right hand on the back of my head, and started to rub small circles in the small of my back with her left hand.
"It's ok Milly," she started to to him softly. After a few minute I relaxed and she said, "Thank you for sharing try is with me Milliana. I promise I won't tell a soul."
"Thank you, I really needed that." I stood up straight and with resolve in my eyes, I declared, "Alright, I may have messed up before, but this time I'm gonna do it right." I said farewell to Kagura and I decided that I was gonna head back to fairy tale first thing tomorrow, just to let Natsu cool off for a bit.
Natsu's P.O.V.
I hummed softly into Naomi's ear as I tried to make her fall asleep. With the majority of the guild already gone it had become so much quieter. I was almost tempted to call it a day and head home, but I felt like I needed to stick around and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere for as long as I could. Tomorrow was gonna be stressful to say the least. I have a meating with the King and his daughter how could that not be stressful.
I was glad that Levy found some books about proper edict for me otherwise I'd be screwed. I loved me daughter with all my heart but no matter how I approached the idea I couldn't find a way to bring her with me.
I mean if I just brought her with me I would have no way to ask the king if it would be alright, but I couldn't just leave her hear without me. I couldn't stand the idea of not having her with me, and it's not everyday that we have a chance to go to the capital. And if I somehow could speak with the King whose to say that he would allow some strangers kid in his house, and I wouldn't feel right to let someone I've never even met before look after my child.
Then it hit me just like one of those goddamn death machines slamming into me at full throttle. Why don't I just ask someone to come with me and stay in our hotel with us. It was so simple that it just had to work. That way I could have someone I trust can look after Naomi while I did whatever the King needed. The only thing is who would I ask.
There were a few people I could ask. Macao already had tons of experience with taking care of kids, but he was still trying to figure out what to do as temp guild master in Gramps absence.
Next was Milliana. I wasn't even really upset with her, I was just annoyed that no one believed me. I could apologize and try to tell her that, but there is no way she would believe me.
There was also Anna. I could go out their and see if she would want to help me again. But she is already coming in a few days. What would be the point of bothering her and her family unannounced.
It come done to just one person, Bisca. As far as I could yell she hadn't quiet decided on a job yet, and she wasn't busy with family or a business.
Now is was just up to me to convince her help me watch my daughter while I talked with the most important man in all of Fiore. If only asking a girl to spend the night with you in a hotel in another town was easy. I sighed and thought to myself, if only Loki was here.
After another minute of trying to get my nerves calm I realised that Naomi had fallen asleep. Standing up in a slow and careful manner I made my way over to Bisca and asked, "Hey Bisca are you free for the rest of this week."
The question must have really cought her off guard because she spat her drink out and coughed. "What do you mean by free?"
I cleared my throat now feeling s little embarrassed and it showed. "Well... I meant free as in available to hang out with me for the weekend." Now I was bright red. Dear Mavis, I never thought it would be so embarrassing to ask for help. What would Loki do in this situation.
Bisca's P.O.V.
I was surprised to say the least when Natsu of all people started to ask me out. I mean I new I was good looking, but Natsu was so dense that I was surprised that he noticed at all. I thought to myself well its not like I'm in a relationship, and Azlack wasn't gonna look at me no matter how hard I tried and I'm not going live my life waiting for someone who will never come around.
Then a thought came to her. What if he's not meaning like a date I'm gonna see if her knows what he's saying. "Well if you think you can handle me I'd see no harm it."
Natsu smiled and said something that shocked me, "Please, its not me you should be worrying about."
"Alright then lover boy if you want me to spend the week with you your gonna have to ask me out first." I thought for sure there would be no way he would mistake this now. If he is asking me now then this is the real deal.
He laughed and said, "Well if that's what you want. Then Bisca would you do me the honor of having dinner with me tonight?"
I don't think I've ever been like this. Like a school girl who just got asked out and is second guessing everything. But now I know that he means it, and here I thought I'd be single forever. "Ok then Natsu it's a date I'll see you here tonight at six. Don't be late and take me somewhere fancy." She said as she walked away.
Natsu's P.O.V.
"Well that wasn't so hard." I said aloud to myself. "I just have to take her out for some food and she'll help me. If I new that from the start it would have been so much easier." Now all I had to do was find a fancy place to eat. Maybe I can get some help from Macao.
"Hey Macao." I sat beside him at the desk.
"Hey Natsu what's happening." He said with a smile as he took a drink.
I thought carefully about how to ask this and then said, "Let's say hypothetically that someone wanted to take someone else out to a fancy dinner were would one go. Hypothetically speaking."
Macao choked on his drink. He slammed down his drink on the counter and began coughing. He hit his chest a few times before he could breath again. Once he was calmed down he said, "Hypothetically speaking one would need a suit and tie, good table manners and to not bring their daughter with them. And if the did have all those things covered hypothetically then a classy dinner on the upper east side if Magnolia. It's called Brilliance it's new and the most expensive place in Magnolia. Hypothetically speaking of course."
I could almost hear my mind relax. That takes care of the restaurant, and leaves finding some were for Naomi to stay tonight. Then I got anxious all over again who would be able to watch Naomi for me.
Macao almost laughed as he saw me go from completely relaxed to extremely anxious in the space of five seconds. He snapped his fingers in front of my face until he caught my attention. "Natsu don't worry I can watch your girl for you."
"But you have got all go Gramps stuff to do I couldn't add more on to your plate." I must have said something really funny because Macao started laughing and it didn't look like he was gonna stop anytime soon.
"Natsu if I couldn't handle babysitting then there's no way I would have been willing to look after your daughter for the night. Now if you don't have a suit I have one that you can borrow, it might smell a little like smoke but I haven't worn it since I last had it cleaned. So hypothetically speaking, who's the lovely lady?"
Natsu thought about it for a while. What would Loki do? It might be best to let him know, but Loki once told me that when taking a woman out to dinner, never to name names in case it doesn't work out. "Sorry Macao, I would buy I wouldn't want anyone to embarrass her in case it doesn't work out.
Macao raised an eyebrow. He was almost absolutely certain that he had heard that peace of advise before. "Well, if that's how you wanna look at it. I'm gonna pull an all nighter tonight In case things go well, so I can watcher her until tomorrow for you. Romeo's coming over so he can play with her while I'm busy."
I instantly felt relieved. I had everything covered now, and now I just had to convince Bisca to come to Crocus with me. "Thanks I owe you one. Do you think I could try out that suit now, please?
"Sure thing I'll just be a moment." Macao got up and went to the back room and came back with a rather fancy suit. "Alright, now you've gotta do some things for me since I'm helping you out."
I was hesitant at first, but I owed him do i agreed.
Macao cleared his throat and said, "First; you must treat her with the utmost respect, Second; you must under no circumstances mess this up and Third; don't damage my suit. I wore that to my wedding. It may not have turned out so good, but it is my favorite suit. Now do you agree with these conditions?"I nodded and he then continued. "God now give me Naomi, take the suit and when you get to there tell them your cashing in in Macao's favor. No go get and don't screw this up."
And just like that I took the suit from Macao, missed my little girl on the head and handed her to him for the night.
