A/N- For these next couple chapters there will only be small stories of the next seven years. Only the really big occurrences in the seven years. There will be more stories to come through the story after the return of all the Tenrou wizards. So if there is something I did not address in the few chapters of the last seven years, then don't worry they will come later on.
As well, I will not be addressing the Grand Magic Games in these stories. They will be addressed later on. There may be a slight mention if it in the stories.
I'm sorry for the wait, I had a rough few weeks at college!

Chapter 32
"Tawna," Macao looks over to the bar, where Katawna sits with her sock covered injured leg resting on the bar stool next to her, and Elie on her shoulder. The older mage sighs not receiving an answer from the girl. It's been two weeks since the Tenrou team went missing, and getting Tawna to do anything is difficult. She hardly talks and eat, and getting her to smile is impossible. Everyone in the guild is worried about her, the disappearances affect them all, but it effected Tawna the most. "Tawna," Macao repeats once more.
"Tawna," Elie's little voice says, "Macao is talking to you,"
"Yeah," Tawna answers quietly, turning around in her seat. Her once bright eyes have now dulled and empty as she stares at him.
"Can you and Elie go pick up a few things from the market?" He asks. The pre-teen sighs and simply nods. Carefully she lifts her prosthetic leg off the stool and turns. Her calico exceed flies over and picks up her crutch and hands it to the pink haired Dragon Slayer. Adjusting the crutch under her arm, Tawna limps over to Macao, grabs the list, exits the guild without saying a word.
"I'm really worried about her," Bisca says sadly from a nearby table with Alzack.
"I know," Alzack agrees.
"The poor thing," Wakaba sighs, "She lost everyone she was close to. She won't even go to her and Natsu's home."
"She always hated being there without him," Bisca sighs, "It must be so lonely without him, without everyone."
"At least she has Elie," Alzack adds.
"It's not the same without everyone here," Wakaba says, "but it's also like Tawna disappeared with them."
"We just need to give her time," Macao sighs staring at the door, "But, I don't think we will see the old Tawna again."
"Do you need to rest?" Elie asks floating next to Tawna's head. The young mage is catching her breath, walking long distance is difficult with her new leg.
"No," Tawna sighs, "I can make it. It's not much farther." She breathes taking a short rest.
"Do you want me to carry you?" Elie asks.
"I'm fine, Elie," Tawna says, "I need to walk anyways."
"Be careful, the ground is slick from the rain last night," the little calico warns.
"I'll be okay." Tawna says looking down to her legs. She tugs up her right sock higher on her leg, making sure it covered the metal. Once she caught her breath, her and Elie continue their journey to the market.
Entering the market, the two find it busy. Adults, wizards, and kids are everywhere doing their shopping. There is another storm coming, so everyone is stocking up on supplies.
"Stay close, Elie." Tawna states, "There's a lot of people here." She frowns. The Exceed nods and floats close to the pink haired girl's head as she limps through the market. As quickly as she can, Tawna collects the stuff on the list.
"Here's the last one," Tawna says handing another bag to Elie, "let's hurry and get out of here, people are starting to stare." Tawna sighs as she feels the eyes of shoppers around her. Whether it is because of her leg, or about what happened 2 weeks ago, she doesn't care. She just wants to get out of there as quickly as she can. Turning, Tawna limps a bit too fast and places to much weight on her metal leg and falls.
"Tawna!" Elie shouts flying next to Tawna on the ground.
"Uggg," Tawna groans trying to get out of the puddle she fell in.
"What's wrong with your leg?"
"Yeah, why is it made of metal?" Tawna looks up and sees a group of kids staring at her from a nearby stall. She looks to her leg and realizes the sock on her right leg had slide down revealing part of her prosthetic.
"It's no wonder why she has it covered," One scrunches her nose. Tawna pulls her sock up and struggles even more to get up, but ends up falling again.
"She can't even get out of the puddle," Another laughs.
"Tawna, ignore them," Elie says seeing tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
"If I was her, I would get a refund. That leg is obviously not working." One of the kid's states.
"Please stop," Tawna whispers.
"Leave her alone," A boy's voice echoes. Tawna looks up and sees a boy with short black hair, around her age standing in front of the group of kids, "Get out of here," He says then turns to Tawna, helping her up, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," Tawna says glancing and meets the boy's piercing red eyes.
"Here," He reaches down and hands back her crutch.
"Thanks," She says adjusting the crutch under her arm and glances to Elie, "Let's go Elie. The faster we get back to the guild the better."
"Okay Tawna," the calico says floating near her head.
"Thanks again," Tawna says glancing back to the boy and turns and begins to hobble back towards the guild, leaving the boy behind her.
"Tawna?" Elie asks quietly after the market has disappears behind them, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," she answers shortly. Tawna's limp has gotten worse after the fall, so she's trying to get back quickly. Loosing her balance once more, she feels herself falling.
"Tawna!" Elie shouts worried. Before the pre-teen's body hits the ground, she is caught by a pair of arms. Looking up, her green eyes are met with bright blue ones.
"Are you okay?" The boy asks helping her stand. Tawna can't help but recognize the boy's spiky blonde hair and scar on his eye brow. She pushes away those thoughts and she turns from the boy.
"I'm fine," She snaps, "Let's go Elie." She says hobbling away, leaving the boy behind her. Approaching the guild hall, Tawna shoves the doors open and limps in.
"Tawna!" The guild shouts seeing the girl enter the guild covered in mud.
"Are you okay?" Macao says concerned.
"I'm fine," Tawna mumbles limping past them all.
"Are you sure?" Macao asks, "Your limp is worse. What happened?"
"I'm fine, just leave me alone," she snaps.
"Tawna," Macao states.
"I don't wanna talk about it. Just leave me alone!" Tawna snaps and limps towards the stairs. Slowly she climbs them and disappears into the room she has been sleeping in.
"Tawna!" Elie flies after her and disappears into the same room. Macao sighs and shakes his head.
Tawna age 13
"Tawna, hold still!" Laki shouts.
"I am!" 13-year-old Katawna snaps as Laki pulls her hair into a high pony tail. Tawna crosses her arms in front her chest pouting.
"You know, if you keep frowning all the time you're gonna get wrinkles." Laki adds, only to receive a glare from Tawna's dull green eyes. Laki finishes her hair and steps back, "There you are all finished!"
"You look great Tawna!" Elie smiles looking to the mirror.
Tawna steps back and looks to the mirror frowning. Her now medium length hair is pulled up into an elegant high pony tail, with strands of hair framing her face, and she's wears a short, a bit too short for her liking, dark blue dress with white thigh high stockings and flats.
"Bisca was right," Laki grins, "this dress looks amazing on you!"
"I feel ridiculous," Tawna huffs tugging up her right stocking.
"You don't look it," Laki smiles, "Now, cheer up. We need to meet everyone downstairs, so we can get to the church on time." Signing Tawna turns with Elie and Laki to the door of her room in their tiny little guild.
Over the last year, they had been having trouble paying for the guilds expenses, so as result they had to take out a loan and give up their guild hall to the Twilight Ogre guild. Since the disappearances, Tawna has lived in the guild, and she puts whatever money she gets from missions to the guild. Katawna was just released to go on hard missions now, from Porlyusica. Her leg had healed well and she had become accustomed to her prosthetic, but getting back into fighting shape, has been difficult. When she is not on simple or intermediate missions, she is spending hours of the day training and getting stronger.
Coming down the stairs they are met with the other members of their guild all dressed in their suits and ties. The guild around them is decorated with blue and white streamers for the party later tonight.
"Finally!" Max shouts as the girls come down the stairs, "It took you girls long enough."
"Hey, Tawna has a lot of hair," Laki says shrugging.
"Hey, don't blame this on me." Tawna scowls with Elie landing on her shoulder, "It took two minutes for my hair, you're the one who took her sweet time getting dressed."
"Well, you three look great, let's get to the church," Macao smiles placing a hand on Tawna's head. Sighing heavily Tawna takes a spot in front of Macao and Wakaba with 6-year-old Romeo beside her. Even though it's been over a year since Tawna's accident, she still has a little limp in her step. It's also been over a year since the disappearances, and those two kids have hardly smiled.
Approaching the church, there are a few guests have already arrived gathering outside the Cathedral. The smell of strong cologne sting Tawna's nose, making her cringe knowing who is here.
"Miss Katawna," A deep smooth voice rings out, "Oh how we have missed you and your wonderful parfume."
"Oh no," Tawna cringes as a couple pairs of arms drape over her shoulder, and another hand grabs her hand.
"You get more beautiful every time, you grace us with your presence." Hibiki flirts.
"Please leave me alone," Tawna sighs lifting Hibiki and Ren's arms from around her shoulders and taking her hand from Eve.
"We have not seen you in a while," Ren says smoothly.
"Last time we saw you, you were throwing up over the side of our boat," Eve states.
"Don't remind me," Tawna huffs, receiving a giggle from Elie on her shoulder.
"Don't worry Miss Katawna," The deep smooth voice echoes once more, "We are working on a parfum to help with your motion sickness." An uncomfortable shiver goes through her body feeling the presence of the short man behind her.
"Sir Ichiya has been working hard," Eve bows.
"Yes," Ichiya states, "Ah, Miss Katawna, your parfume is getting sweeter by the day." Tawna's fist clenches and glows blue as she turns. "mmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnn!" he yells as Tawna's fist connects with his face, sending him into the wall next to the door of the Cathedral.
"Well done,"
"Nice follow through"
"You are getting stronger by the day," The three Trimens nod while clapping.
"Katawna!" Macao shouts, "What did I tell you about punching Ichiya today?"
"You would have punched him too, if he sniffed you," Tawna huffs walking far away from the Blue Pegasus boys.
"Wakaba, stop laughing!" Macao shouts to his friend, who has along with other members of the guild lost it in laughter.
"Sorry," Wakaba says wiping a tear from his eyes then turns to Nab, "You owe me my money."
"Damn," Nab sighs reaching into his pockets, "I really thought she was gonna hold back this time."
"You two bet on me?" Tawna asks raising her eye brows.
"Alzack is in on the bet too," Wakaba laughs, "but he's a little busy right now, I'll get my money from him later."
"Yeah, then you are gonna loose that money in our card game later." Tawna states crossing her arms.
"I'm going to win this time," Wakaba says stuffing his cash into his pocket.
"Keep telling yourself that, Old Man," The teen shrugs.
"Okay," Macao states, "Let's get inside. It's going to start any minute now."
Ushering everyone into the church and to their seats in the pews. The Church is not very full, only the small population of Fairy Tail, that is left, is in attendance. Along with the Trimens from Blue Pegasus and Master Bob, Goldmine, and a handful of members from Lamia Scale.
"Romeo," Tawna sighs, "Stop squirming."
"I hate this," The six-year-old grumbles squirming in his suit.
"I'm not a fan of this dressing up thing either, but we both have to deal with it." Tawna complains elbowing the kid in the side.
"Hey!" Romeo scowls elbowing her back.
"Stop," Tawna hisses elbowing back.
"You stop," Romeo snaps.
"Katawna, Romeo, knock it off!" Macao reprimands, causing both kid's arms to fall to their sides.
The music begins to sound and coming down the aisle is Alzack, dressed in his tuxedo, heading to the alter. Then, the wedding march sounded over the organ and all those in attendance stand and turn to the entrance of Cathedral. The large doors open and a veiled figure begins to walk down the aisle. Her dress flows behind her in a long train, and a blue sash is tied around her waist.
Bisca floats down the aisle, walking past members of her guild she smiles widely catching Tawna's gaze. Receiving a small thumbs up from Tawna's crossed arms, Bisca's gaze returns to her awaiting soon-to-be-husband. The members of the guild all turn as she finally made her way to the alter.
Alzack swipes a tear from his eye and grabs Bisca's hands, and turning their attention to the officiant. The elder smiles and glances to the guest, motioning them to be seated, the ceremony was about to begin.
Short Time Skip!
The ceremony was very short, sweet, and romantic. Just how Alzack and Bisca wanted it. Following the ceremony, everyone ran outside to congratulate the young couple and to snap a few pictures and then make their way to the small guild hall to celebrate.
"Even though this hall is not as elaborate as your old one, you all still know how to make it feel like home." Wizard Saint Jura smiles as they all enter Fairy Tail guild. Blue and white streamers and flowers decorate the hall and tables, and a simple white tired cake sits in the center of the bar. "Was this you're doing, Miss Katawna?" Jura smiles to the teen.
"Yeah," Tawna states, "Stayed up half the night decorating and finishing the cake."
"Well it turned out amazing!" Hibiki says draping his arm over the teens shoulder.
"But not as amazing as you, Lady Katawna," Eve says dropping to one knee and grabbing her hand. Tawna groans loudly and yanks her hand away and releases herself from Hibiki's arm.
"Will you please leave me alone," Tawna groans annoyed.
"Men," Ichiya reprimands, "leave the woman and her wonder smelling parfume."
"You, especially leave me alone," Tawna states pointing to the short man.
"Katawna!" Macao reprimands.
"What?" Tawna complains, "I didn't hit him," She says as she mopes over to the bar taking a seat next to a still squirming Romeo.
"Can I take off this jacket now?" The 6-year-old complains.
"Here," Tawna says standing in front of the kid. She helps him shrug off his jacket and she unbuttons the top button of his collared shirt and loosens his tie and messes up his gelled hair. "Better?"
"Better," Romeo nods sighing in relief.
"Tawna," Macao sighs, "What did you do to my kid?"
"Oh, calm down," Tawna rolls her eyes, "The wedding part is done, let the kid be comfortable for the reception." She says causing Macao to shake his head. Tawna's ears perk up as she turns her attention to the door, "They're here," She announces.
Everyone turns and draws their attention to the doors. Max and Warren quickly run over and open the doors, making way for the newlyweds. Alzack and Bisca enter the guild hall hand in hand, to be welcomed by streamers and confetti being thrown.
"CONGRATULATIONS!" The guests and Fairy Tail members all shout, celebrating the event.
"Thanks everyone," Alzack grins widely.
"Yeah," Bisca agrees, "Also, it looks amazing in here. Tawna you did an amazing job."
"I wanted to make sure you guys had an amazing looking reception." Tawna says scratching behind her neck.
"It looks great," Alzack smiles, "Thanks, Katawna."
"I don't know about you guys," Max grins, "But let's get this party started!" An erupt of cheers come from the guest and the reception gets started.
The booze began to flow and the music began to play as they began their celebration. Alzack and Bisca cut their cake, and now were going to have their first dance. The two placed their arms around each other and begun to sway to the music.
"This is so romantic," Elie smiles from Tawna's shoulder.
"Yeah," Tawna agrees watching the couple dance, "It kind of makes me hope I can find someone whole will look at me like Alzack looks at Bisca one day."
"Awe, Tawna," Elie smiles, "You're actually have feelings."
"Oh, shut it," The 13-year-old rolls her eyes making her best friend giggle, covering her mouth with her orange and black paws.
"Okay all," Max announces over the microphone, "Grab a partner and join the happy couple." Warren grabs Laki, Ren grabs Sherry, leaving only Tawna left as the next available dance partner.
"Lady Katawna," Hibiki bows.
"No," Tawna huffs.
"How about me?" Eve bows beside her seat at the bar.
"No," She shakes her head.
"My Miss Katawna," Ichiya says approaching.
"No way in Hell." She huffs disgusted.
"Oh come on," Hibiki flirts, "I'm sure you are a wonderful dancer."
"I don't dance," Tawna rolls her eyes, "You can say that I have a lead foot." She says causing her exceed companion giggle.
Suddenly the guild doors slam open, causing the music to abruptly stop. Everyone stand in horror seeing a group of burly individuals swinging their large weapons.
"Twilight Ogre," Macao growls.
"What," One the men sneer, "You were throwing a party, and didn't think to invite us?" he says stepping further into the guild.
"What are you doing here?" Wakaba says standing.
"We just came to collect your payment," He grins waving his large bat around.
"You will get it, when you get it." Macao states.
"You are already a month late," Another large man smirks, "You don't want to lose this guild hall too, now do ya?"
"He said, you'll get it when you get it." Tawna growls standing, "Now, get out."
"And if we don't what are you gonna do?" The first one smirks.
"You don't want to know what I'm gonna do." Tawna says walking up to the group of Twilight Ogre.
"Oh, is that so," He sneers seeing Tawna's limp, "I'm sure a little runt like you won't even make a dent."
"Well," Tawna glares, "Then this shouldn't hurt a bit!" She jumps and kicks, connecting her right leg to the side of his head sending him, along with a few other members of his guild out the door.
"Oooooooooo!" The reception guests cringe hearing the sound of metal connecting to bone.
"Water Bomb!" Tawna shouts blasting the rest of Twilight Ogre from the guild hall and out to the yard in front.
"That was a big mistake, Little Girl!" The man she kicked in the head shouts, wobbling as he stands.
"No, you made a big mistake," Tawna glares raising her hand and large swirl of water begins to circle, "Water Dragon Typhoon!" she send the storm colliding with his lackeys making them tumble down the side of the mountain. The leader of her group begins to advance toward Tawna, but she has other plans. Plans to finish this fight quick.
"You little brat," He growls with his left-over men behind him. Tawna raises bother her hands and small blue magic circles appear on her opponents' chests, stopping them mid step.
"What?"
"I can't move,"
"My body isn't listening to me!"
Tawna raises her hands a bit raising the men off the ground. One by one, they are tossed easily down the mountain, leaving only their group leader.
"What kind of monster are you?" He says frightened, by the girl's power.
"One you don't want to anger," Tawna growls dropping him to the ground, "Now get out of here!" She shouts causing him to scramble to his feet, and run down the pathway. Tawna sighs and turns back to the entrance of the guild and is greeted with cheers.
"You showed them Tawna!" Elie cheers colliding with her shoulder.
"When did you learn to do that?" Wakaba grins.
"Yeah, since when could you control more than one person in blood grip?" Macao questions.
"Just now," Tawna shrugs.
"Tawna!" Bisca shouts running over and gathering the girl in a hug, "That was amazing!"
"Umm, thanks" Tawna states then glances to Macao, "Sorry, I know I promised I would behave today, but I couldn't let them ruin their day." She says glancing to Alzack and Bisca.
"You behaving went down the drain the moment you punched Ichiya into the side of the church," Macao sighs.
"Damn it," Alzack groans.
"Ha!" Wakaba grins, "Pay up!" He says as Alzack digs into his pocket retrieving Wakaba's money.
"Now that's over," Max smiles, "Let's continue this party!" He says restarting the music to a fast song.
"Come on," Bisca shouts pulling Tawna's arm, "Let's dance."
"But, but," Tawna stutters, "Bisca, no!" she shouts as she is pulled out to the middle of the guild.
The party went on until late into the night. Finally, Alzack and Bisca left for their Honeymoon, and the guests and members began dispersing for the night, planning to clean the guild tomorrow. Macao is about to carry a sleeping Romeo home when he notices Tawna, now in her pajamas, sitting in the windowsill with her right leg hanging out the window, and her head tilted up to the starts above.
"You wish they were here, don't you?" Macao says softly leaning against the wall beside her.
"I always do," Tawna sighs looking up to the stars, "Every time something happy happens, I can't help but feel guilty for being happy while they are still missing."
"You shouldn't feel guilty," Macao says placing a hand on her head, "We all wished they were here today, and you know they would all want us to be happy." Tawna just sighs and looks out into the trees being illuminated by the bright moon. "Don't worry Tawna, we're gonna find them. We are going back out next week to search." He receives a nod from the teen, letting him know she heard him, but got no response. "Good night, Tawna."
"Night," She sighs and makes her way up to her room.
Katawna age 14
"Katawna!" Macao shouts as the group of wizards walks back into their small guild hall.
"Macao, chill." Tawna snaps annoyed, "It's not the first time I've jumped off the ship."
"You could have hurt yourself," He scowls.
"Oh no," Tawna say dramatically, "A water wizard jumping into water, what a tragedy!" She says waving her arms around.
"Tawna, cut the sass!" Macao reprimands.
"You're over reacting about this whole situation," Tawna argues as the two make it to the center of the guild.
"No, I'm not," Macao states placing his hands on his hips, "You're dove into open ocean!"
"Like I have done, multiple times!" Tawna shouts.
"And I have told you multiple time not to." Macao shouts back making Tawna roll her large dull green eyes, "The ethernano levels in that water are extremely high."
"I'm fine, Macao!" Tawna says annoyed, "I don't need to be watched constantly!"
"Does the fact that you brother disappeared in those waters, mean nothing to you?" Macao shouts. Tawna's fists clench and she lets out a frustrated yell.
"I need to blow off some steam!" Tawna shouts shoving past Macao to the door.
"Katawna!" Macao shouts, but the teen is already gone. Sighing and taking a seat next to Wakaba, and drops his head to the table, banging it against the wood.
"Congrats, Buddy," Wakaba grins patting his back, "You're raising a teenager."
"Do you think she would be like this if Natsu was around?" Macao sighs
"Who knows, "Wakaba sighs.
"Elie," Macao says raising his head, "Go follow her."
"Already on it," Elie says grabbing a towel and a bottle of water, flying out the guild hall.
Outside in the small clearing behind the guild hall, is a large punching bag hanging from a tree, and a petite teen.
"Arrggg!" Tawna shouts throwing more punches making the bag sway. Her pink hair tied up on the top of her head in a messy bun, beads of sweat run down her neck to her black tank top. The black fabric sticks to her thin form as she kicks to the bag.
"Tawna," Elie says approaching, "Take it easy."
"Uggg!" Tawna groans connecting her knee to the back, following back with an elbow jab, "You need to be careful, do you not care?" She mumbles with her punches becoming harder, "Of course I care, Damn it! I wouldn't get on that damn boat, I wouldn't dive into that damn water if I didn't care!" Tawna swings her right leg up to the bag connecting it too the heavy bag disconnecting it from the tree, but also hearing an auditory pop, making her fall to the ground. "DAMN IT!"
"Tawna," Elie says landing next to her best friend, "Did you pop your knee out again?"
"This damn thing," She snaps pushing down her stocking revealing the dulled and dented metal leg. She places her hands on each side of her knee and twists popping the metal back into place.
"I think it's time to get a new leg, Tawna." A feminine voice says from behind Tawna and Elie. Tawna turns her eye's meet a very heavily pregnant Bisca holding a plate of cheese fries.
"Hi Bisca," Tawna sighs standing, pulling up her sock.
"Come on," Bisca smiles, "Take a break, I even have your favorite food." She says waving the plate around. Knowing she can't pass up cheese fries, Tawna walks over to the bench under some trees. The two girls and the exceed sit down, placing the plate of fried between the two.
"Did they send you to talk to me?" Tawna asks munching on a fry.
"No," Bisca laughs resting a hand on her expanded stomach, "I thought you might want to talk to someone who's not Macao. I'm pretty sure you almost broke him, when you ran out, he started banging his head on the table."
"He's overly dramatic," Tawna says shaking her head.
"He cares about you," Bisca smiles.
"I know," Tawna sighs glancing to Bisca, "I just wish he would lay back a little bit."
"I'm sure he will, over time." Bisca states, "Some of them are having a hard time seeing you as a young woman, instead of a kid." She elbows the Dragon Slayer grinning, making the teen roll her eyes, "They all worry about you, Tawna. Especially since you are taking harder missions now."
"They should know I'm not gonna stop growing up," Tawna sighs.
"I know," Bisca smiles, "I do think you should slow down a bit, and enjoy being a teen."
"I don't know if I can," Tawna sighs, "Going on missions helps keep my mind off of things."
"Maybe, this little one will help keep your mind off things," Bisca smiles rubbing her belly, "You are gonna be our babysitter." She says making the teen roll her eyes playfully.
"How's the kid doing in there?" Tawna asks eating a few more fries.
"It's probably kind of cramped in there now," Bisca laughs, "This little one could be here any day now." She says looking down to her stomach, then back to the teen, "Let's get back in there, before Alzack sends out a search party for me." Tawna nods and lifts Elie up to her shoulder and grabs Bisca's hand, helping her off the bench, so they can make their way back into the guild.
Next Morning
Everyone in the guild had an early night the day before, because of their long boat journey and search. As the morning went on the guild began to become more alive with the few members coming in for the day. In the corner of the guild on the old sofa is a sleeping Katawna, with a book draped over her stomach.
"Sometimes this Kid really reminds me of Natsu," Wakaba states looking at the teen's sleeping position. Tawna's metal leg is propped up on the back of the sofa and her left dangles off the it. On arm handing off towards the ground and the other lays sprawled out above her head, and Elie sleeping on her stomach using the open book as a blanket.
"She must have passed out last night reading," Macao laughs looking at Tawna, "Romeo, I wouldn't do that if I was you," Macao warms seeing the kid spray whip cream into the sleeping teen's hand.
"It'll be fine," Romeo states running off to find a feather.
"Let the kid learn for himself," Wakaba laughs.
Suddenly the lacrama began to ring from the corner of the bar. Macao walks over and answers it.
"Macao!" Alzack shouts from the other end.
"Yes?" Macao cringes rubbing his ear from the shout.
"You all need to get to the hospital, Bisca had the baby early this morning!" Alzack shouts excited. An eruption of cheers explodes from the guild.
"Congrats, Alzack." Macao smiles, "We will be there soon."
"See you then." Alzack grins hanging up. Macao turns from the lacrama, to be met with an amusing sight.
"Ack!" Romeo shouts stepping back with a face covered in whip cream.
"Nice try, Kid," Tawna states sitting up on her elbows, with a wide-awake Elie now on her head.
"Told you, Romeo," Macao laughs, "Tawna, go get dressed."
"Why?" Tawna yawns stretching her limbs.
"Bisca had the baby, we are going to the hospital," Macao states.
"What!" Tawna shouts scrambling to get off the couch. Pushing of the wooden floor to run up the stairs, she falls to the ground, "Ack, Damn it!" She shouts hitting the ground seeing that her artificial leg has popped out of place again. Quickly she snaps the knee back in place, and runs up the stairs with Elie trailing behind her.
"She really needs a new leg." Wakaba states standing.
"I've been telling her that for months," Macao shakes his head, handing his son a towel to wipe the cream from his face. Within seconds, Tawna runs back down the stairs dressed in a white tank top, a pair of light blue jeans and normal with knee high boots.
"I think that is the quietest she has ever gotten dressed," Wakaba states laughing.
"Oh, shut it," Tawna snaps running her hand through her long, wavy, pink hair, "Let's go." She says as they all make their way to Magnolia's hospital. The small guild enter the large building to be met by an excited Alzack.
"So, what is it?" Max asks.
"It's a beautiful baby girl," Alzack coos.
"Pay up!" Tawna, Wakaba, and Warren all shout to Droy, Jet, and Warren.
"Damn," the three moan paying up their portion of the bet to the winners.
"So, when do we get to meet her?" Macao smiles.
"Right now," Alzack smiles, "Tawna, you're first." He says glancing to the 14-year-old.
"Me?" Tawna questions, widening her eyes.
"Yup, let's go," Alzack grins grabbing her arm and dragging her down the hall. Coming to a stop in front of a large door, Alzack slowly pushes it open and leads Tawna in. Bisca looks up from the hospital bed smiling holding a little bundle in her arms.
"Tawna," Bisca smiles, "come meet our daughter, Asuka." Tawna approaches slowly and sits in the chair next to the new mother, "Why don't you hold her." Tawna's eyes widen slightly and Bisca set the child in the teen's arms. "There you go, support her head," She smiles as the little bundle carefully is placed in Tawna's arms.
"She's so little," Tawna says softly. Looking down to the baby girl in her arms, Tawna is surprised to see large eyes looking back to her. "Hi, Asuka," She says softly as the baby grasps her finger, "I'm Katawna."
