Chapter 9 – We were so dumb

"So there you go, oh, Can't make a wife out of a ho, oh, I'll never find the words to say I'm sorry, But I'm scared to be alone " The Kid LAROI – Without you

I park my car as I look around, there was a lot of people here already and it was yet to even be 08:00. I take a deep breath and shake my head from side to side. I should not be here. I should be at home resting, but instead I found myself at the Golden Falcons sport grounds. I pull out my phone and I press the contact button. I look for the name I was searching for and then I press dial.

It rings once and then twice and then she picks up. "Hey love, did you drop of Toby at day care?" Lisanna asks and I smile as I nod my head, full aware that she couldn't see me.

"Yeah and I'll pick him up later. I am just going to be at this thing for an hour or so then head home." I say into the phone.

"Okay love, don't stay to long if you don't feel well. Did you drink your antibiotic?" she asks and I nod yet again.

"Yes babe." I say and I smile, it was actually nice to have Lisanna with me the whole week. She took care of me like she should have. And we spent some good time with Toby. It almost made me feel like a family again. It almost made me remember why I loved her so much. But I shake my head. "I'll let you know when I get home." I say and I hear Lisanna on the other side 'hmmm.'

"Okay, love you." The words felt warm as they filled my ears. But before I manage to return them I end the call. I take a deep breath, things weren't back to normal and this week didn't change anything as of yet. I still felt cold towards her even if I didn't treat her differently. It was business as usual for me. For some reason it felt more like going to work when I left the police station and taking on the position of a husband.

I look down my contact list again and I call Laxus as he had begged me to come today. He was on my case day and night ever since Monday. "Laxus?" I ask when he answers the phone.

"Where the fuck are you?" I hear him say and I frown as a cough escapes me.

"I am at the place, where are you?" I ask as I look around trying to find his car, or him or anyone I knew. But I saw no one I knew.

"I quickly went home to get a jacket and I will be stopping at the shop but Lucy is there, just go to the field and you will find a tent for our station." Laxus rushes and I frown, what the hell was he talking about?

"A tent for our station?" I ask a bit surprised looking around yet again.

"It is a district event so all the stations are there, we have a tent on the field. Just call Lucy." Without another word he ends the call and I sit in my car looking at the screen of my phone in disbelieve. What the flying fuck was going on? But before I could manage to look up the blonde's name on my phone there is a knock to my window and Cana is next to my car smiling and waving.

I open the door and get out, pulling my jeans and jacket straight as I close the door and push my phone into my pocket. "Natsu! I didn't expect to see you here." Cana states taking a step to me and extending her arms but I shake my head at her.

"Yeah, I wouldn't have come, still sick with the flu." I say and at this she nods her head at me taking a step back.

"Well why are you here then?" Cana asks as I look around.

"Just to show support to our team?" I ask and at this she nods her head and she continues to smile. I look her up and down and she is wearing some loose jeans and a t-shirt, nothing to special.

"Awe I think when everyone is here I should take a group picture and send it to Erza, since your showing her your support." At this I raise a brow because it wasn't for Erza, it was for a certain little blonde that begged and pleaded as well. "I think Mavis would also be surprised, I think I saw Laxus here as well, and you guys never attend these things." I just nod my head and that's when my eyes fall on Lucy.

The blonde is standing with a group of people smiling and laughing, she's even handing out hugs as she goes around. I smile as I see Lucy but I feel a hand on my wrist as Cana pulls me towards a different direction.

"Our group is over there, come fill in the attendance list." Cana states and at this I just nod as I look at Lucy one last time, she is wearing some shorts, accenting her beautiful long legs, with black tank top and a oversized shirt which is over her one side showing her shoulder. She paired it with some cute black socks and sneakers. She looked sporty as she shakes her head. But I am dragged from the blonde and to the people from our station. I stand off to the side at fist just greeting the people I know.

It seems that everyone was here except for Jellal, but then I heard that he had a funeral that he had to attend to so his absenteeism was understood. Gray even showed up and he was all smiles as he greets the people sitting around. It seems that Cana had arranged the local church to make us some barbequed meat for the day. Such a sweet person.

"Natsu you came." Laxus says as he extends his hand to me and we shake hands before I look to the field where I see people are gathering.

"You forced me." I say as I zip up my jacket, it was overcast today and slightly cool and with my cold I needed to stay warm.

"I did not." Laxus states as he stares at me in disbelieve.

"So we are starting off the events with a 5 km walk." Levi states as she comes up on my side and I smile to her.

"You guys go along." I say as I look around for a seat I could steal.

Cana wasn't having any of that as she grabs at me and pulls me next to her. "Come on, we will walk slowly." Cana states as Levi joins me on my other side.

"I really don't feel too well." I say as I try my best to get out of this, I look to Laxus with a pleading look and he just shakes his head as he takes his place next to Cana and I assume anywhere else but next to Levi. "I don't see Lucy doing this so I'll sit out." I say as I franticly look around for the blonde and then I see her as she walks past people greeting them, smiling as she goes, she moves to the front.

"You want to join Lucy?" Laxus says with a frown on his face and then he chuckles, he knew something I didn't it seems. Cana pulls me forward as she move to where Lucy is and Laxus and Levi follows suite.

"If she is going to start in the front then so should we, let's show them our station spirit." Cana says with a big smile, well she was smiling up until we see one of the Lieutenant Colonels who used to work at our station and who frequently did long distance races make his way towards Lucy, hugging her as they greet. I raise a brow as I look at them and then see Cana and Levi really getting amped up. "We just walk at a fast pace." Cana states and at this we all seem to nod, I was shaking my head from side to side. And that's when the guns goes off and the people start walking… And when I say this I mean myself, Cana, Laxus, Levi and Cana.

Lucy took of not even full speed as she kept pace with the Lieutenant Colonel as they jog with ease and I am in awe as she makes this look effortless. "Fuck she's running." Laxus states as he lets go of Cana and he pushes forward. I look to Cana who has a determined look on her face as she too leave my side and soon I am left walking aimlessly with Levy as we watch Lucy jog at ease, and Cana and Laxus running after her like their lives depended on it.

"Lucy used to be a jogger." I hear Levy say from besides me and I nod my head, she had mentioned something like that a bit ago.

"I can't believe Laxus and Cana is so winded." I say as I continue to look at them. Lucy looks to her side and then she looks back and she looks over the crowd behind her and it seems she sees Laxus and Cana and she slows down yelling something as the Colonel runs forward. I see Lucy say something and then Cana replies something her face just expressed irritation.

Lucy looks back and then her eyes land on me and she waves and she turns to Laxus and Cana and she speaks loud enough for me and Levi to also hear this, as well as the people around us. "Loser buys the first round of drinks." At this Cana looks to Lucy and narrows her eyes before she starts to sprints forward, Laxus laughs as she slows down and then Lucy just smiles as she picks up speed, not even putting effort into it as she passes Cana to the point where there is no way Cana can beat her.

About 1 km from the end I persuaded Laxus and Levi to take a short cut and we just ended up going into the bar. It wasn't long before Lucy walked in with a smile. And about 9 minutes later Cana joined completely out of breath.

"I had no idea you could jog." Cana says as she grabs at her water.

"There is a lot you don't know." Lucy states as she pulls her phone out and answers it, she listens then she smiles as she looks to our group and nod to us before walking out. When she returns she has Hibiki and Zeref with her.

Levi had decided to leave us so it was now me, Laxus, Hibiki, Zeref and Lucy and Cana. We make space for the new arrivals and we grab at our bottles of water. "So we missed the fun run?" Zeref asks and at this Lucy nods her head.

"Yeah but next it's you, me and Laxus for the blind relay." Lucy states and it seems that Cana is still trying to catch her breath.

"I can't." Zeref states as he places his wallet on the table.

"No backing out. Besides I'll buy you a drink if you do it." At this Zeref's eyes lights up.

"I'm still drunk from last night." Zeref says and at this we all chuckle.

"Told you not to drink." Laxus says as he shakes his head to the younger male.

"Come on let's get this done." Lucy states as she stands and soon Laxus is up and Zeref is up as they follow the blonde. I sit and watch as Hibiki settles in and drinks some of his water.

"She is going to kill us today." Hibiki says and at this I furrow my brows.

"Why?" I find Cana asking instead of me.

"Because she has been so excited for today." Hibiki states and at this Cana just narrows her eyes.

In no time they were back and Zeref was the top dog as he flashed his certificate for coming in first place with Aries. I applaud him as he sits down, I see Lucy disappear to the bar and that was when trouble hit us full force. At 09:00 on a Friday morning, with four rounds of drinks already paid for as she manages to carry most to all of the drinks and shots to the table where we are sitting. Cana looks at us in disbelieve.

"You can't drink, you are on duty!" Cana states and at this Lucy rolls her eyes and I swear Cana almost popped a vein as she stared daggers at Lucy. "Besides its 9 AM." Cana states and that was until Lucy pushes a drink in front of her.

"It's 5 PM somewhere." Lucy replies as she takes a sip of her drink. I look at her in disbelieve and then she pushes a beer towards me.

"No, I can't" I say as I shake my head.

"I don't give a fuck." Lucy says as she smiles and then she is back at the bar and someone else is hugging her and buying her a shot.

"What the?" I ask and I look to Laxus who shrugs and takes a sip from his beer.

"It's her birthday month…" Zeref replies and at this both myself and Laxus frown as we tilt our heads looking at the younger male. "It's written on the fucking board in their office, how didn't you notice?" Zeref asks and at this I look to Laxus who just shakes his head but he takes another sip. Lucy comes back to the table and she takes a seat next to me, then she looks to Cana and smiles as she watches the elder female take a small sip, Lucy just smiles as she tilts her head back and she downs the remainder of her drink before she takes another bottle from the table.

At some point Lucy was a few drinks in front of us, well her and Zeref because it seemed that they both could hold their liquor as we continue to drink. Her phone rings and she answers it as politely as she could. "Lucy hello." She answers but she was tipsy as hell and we could see it. She giggles and then she looks all serious as she looks to Zeref. "We are coming!" she yells and then her phone is on the table and she grabs at Zeref and Hibiki.

"What the!?" Hibiki asks as he looks to her and at this she just giggles.

"We are going to miss the relay! I signed me and Zeref up but we need a third! Come on Hibiki! I'll buy you a drink!" She didn't even need to say please because both men were right behind her as they rise and they start to walk to the field.

"Natsu let's go watch drunk people run." Laxus states and at this I laugh, because we were just as drunk as they were. But we get to our feet and watch as our group join up with the other groups at the announcement table. We move slowly but steadily towards our stations people and we see our commanding officer and Colonel Bora and everyone gathering around.

"You think we stand a chance?" Mavis asks her husband and at this he chuckles.

"Well apparently your station won the fun run and the blind relay. So this might be a piece of cake." He replies and at this Mavis looks to me and I wave to her like an idiot and so does Laxus. She furrows her brows and moves towards us.

"Aren't you supposed to join?" Mavis asks and at this I laugh.

"I am sick ma'am." I reply and she furrows her brows even further.

"Lucy got Zeref and Hibiki, they are younger." Laxus states as I chuckle finding his words completely funny. Yes, I was drunk as fuck. Liquor and antibiotic did not work well.

"Lucy? I haven't seen her all day!" Mavis says and at this we both chuckle knowing full well that we were busy getting smashed in the bar. We see that they are still talking at the announcement table and I frown and wobble a bit. "Have you been drinking?" Mavis asks and at this Laxus snorts and I try my best to keep my composure.

"No ma'am." I manage to say and at this Laxus turns to the side again. Mavis just rises her brow and then look back to the group as it seems that they have come up with some terms for the winners. They all shake on it and then we see the groups move into place. First we had a lady from the detectives, who would be handing over to Zeref, Zeref would hand over to Lucy and Hibiki would do the last sprint.

We wait in anticipation as they take their places. "I hope we win." Mavis states and at this Laxus snorts again. We hear on the announcer for the runners to get ready and then the bang to start goes off and our member starts running at full speed. My eyes are trained on Lucy as she stands there swaying from side to side. She looks to her side and it seems that she had men running with her, she gives a little smile and then she pulls off her over size shirt as she gets into place stretching, she looks to Zeref who nods and then she looks to Hibiki.

Zeref grabs for the relay stick and then he sparks off, faster than anticipated as he runs towards Lucy. She seems ready but as soon as Zeref approaches her she starts running and she grabs the relay stick and soon Zeref is hunched over as he gets sick and Lucy is yelling and screaming as she runs like a bat out of hell. No sooner we see this Laxus and I burst out laughing and Mavis and the others look to us as we laugh knowing full well alcohol and running is a big no-no. But run, Lucy runs and soon she is approaching Hibiki and we are in the lead.

And fuck we won. We actually won, with three completely drunk fools running. As Hibiki runs over the finishing line Lucy is still running and it seems Zeref has gained his senses as he makes his way over to them. I hear Lucy scream as Hibiki turns around and he waves in the air that we won. As soon as Lucy nears Hibiki he reaches out towards her and she jumps up into his arms as they yell and scream in joy. We find ourselves also running towards them, well some were stumbling, some were speed walking like Mavis and I was just trying to keep my breath at bay as I make my way over to them. As soon as Hibiki lets go of Lucy she jumps up and down spinning around.

"You guys won!" Mavis says a bit too cheerful and Lucy and Zeref and Hibiki turns to her with big goofy grins on their faces.

"We won!" Lucy states as she sees me and Laxus and she runs to us. "We Won!" She yells again. "Drinks…." She looks to Mavis who shakes her head from side to side smiling. "Drinks are on me!" She yells and we cheer as I grab her and she comes in closer for a hug as she hugs me. She is sweaty and sticky but I don't mind. Soon Laxus has his arms around us and he's hugging us, and Hibiki and Zeref joins as we just have a group hug. It almost seemed unreal.

When we finally let go we make our way back to the bar, and true to her word Lucy has not only a line of drinks but shots waiting for us. Fuck we were going big today. At some point Cana came by and sat with us again, drinking a drink. Then she mentioned that the food is ready. Lucy, Zeref and Hibiki went to plate up because I wasn't too sure I could stand on my feet.

"I need to get more smokes." I say looking towards Laxus and he smiles shaking his head.

"No you're just looking for an excuse to leave." Laxus says and to this I look to my watch, 4 hours had passed and I almost had to go pick up my son from day care.

I throw my empty packet of smokes to Laxus who throws it to me again. I actually had to do something to get sober enough to pick up my kid from school. "I have to pick up Toby soon." I say and at this Laxus raises his brow.

"See!" He yells at me and I shake my head as there is now parcels placed in front of us as Lucy takes a seat next to me.

"See what?" Lucy asks as she smiles and to my surprise there was another female among the returning group.

"Natsu wants to leave." Laxus says and to this Lucy sits down next to me shaking her head from side to side.

"Nope. Cosmos just came." Lucy says and to this the other female waves her hand to us.

"Guys this is Cosmos, she is my girlfriend, and I thought she could join us." Zeref says placing his arm around the female who smiles brightly.

"Hey!" Laxus greets and extends his hand to her but he is struggling to stay still. I see her face light up as she takes his hand and shakes it.

"I just wanna go get smokes." I say and I look to Lucy who smiles to me.

"He's not gonna come back." Laxus replies shaking his head. "Let Lucy go with you. She will make sure you come back." Laxus states and at this she beams nodding her head in agreement.

"Yip, I'll go with you so you can come back." I snort a bit but nod my head as I slowly stand up and the blonde follows suit. "We will be back soon! Hold my beer Lax!" Lucy beams grabbing at her phone and then she grabs at my arm, hooking her arm with mine as I try to steadily walk. She helps a little as she swayed by my side.

"You didn't have too." I say as I start leading her to my car.

"Absolutely have to make sure you come back." She says wiggling her brows at me and at this I shake my head.

"I would." I say as I put my hand into my pocket and fish out my car keys as I press the unlock button and walk to the passenger's side. I open the door and she un-hooks her arm from mine as she slides into the passenger's side. I close the door and move to my side. When we are both in the car she makes sure we both have our safety belts on before she turns towards me in her seat and she smiles to me.

I start the car and I know the garage isn't that far since I stayed here when I was younger. I watch as she smiles and looks out the window as we start to drive. "Today is so much fun." She states as she looks back to me and she beams.

"I could think of more fun things." I say as I take a turn and at this she frowns and she almost seems innocent as she sits there. But soon we stop at the garage and I unbuckle the safety belt and pop out of the car asking her if she needed something.

"Jelly tots!" She yells and some people look to her then me as I smile and nod my head.

Soon I am back in the car with my smokes and her jelly tots and I am buckled in as I start the car but as I drive back I drive a bit slower to give her time to open her sweets and eat them. I watched her and how carefree she looks popping a sweet in her mouth.

"What's more fun than drinking with friends?" she asks as she looks out of the window and just then I remove my hand from the gears and I place my hand on her bare leg and its soft and smooth and hell she was warm. She looks to me and she giggles as I move my hand up her leg to her thigh to the point I touch between her legs over her shorts.

I hear a little moan escape her mouth and then I fiddle around trying to find her shorts button and zip opening both. As soon as she notices my intentions her cheeks go bright red as she takes in a deep breath. I am driving at a very slow pace and it would take me longer to get back to the venue then what it took us to get to the garage. Lucy places her hand on mine and I'm not sure if she's pushing my hand down or pulling it up but soon I can feel her silk panties. Another moan leaves her mouth and then she pulls my hand away.

"You don't like it?" I ask and at this her eyes meet mine and she has the sheepish expression on her face.

"I can't… But I want to." I hear her say as I move my hand back and I rub her over her shorts as another moan leaves her lips and it's the sexiest thing that I have ever heard. She clenches her thighs together as she arches her back. I feel her shivering and I casually take a turn as the venue comes into view. She grabs at my hand again and this time I leave it. For a moment I watch as she brings my hand to her lips and she pops my forefinger into her mouth and she lightly sucks at it. Holy fuck.

But as soon as this happens she takes our hands down. "We can't. Not here. There is too many people around." She says and at this I look around and sure enough there were a lot of people.

"I could have made an excuse to drive around a bit more." I say and at this she almost looks shy as she pulls at her shirt and she zips up her shorts and does the button. Her eyes meet mine and she shakes her head, she even looks flushed as she looks to me.

"Not like this." She says and at this I just nod my head. There was a time and a place for everything and our time was not right now. She left the car before me but she waited for me as we made our way back.

I have no fucking idea how I picked up my son, I have no idea how I got home. All I knew was it was 4 PM and I was at my house and my son was playing with his toys, apparently I had a power nap as well. I look to my phone and snort as I see a missed call from Laxus. I reach for my phone and I dial his number back.

"Hey bro." Laxus answers and he still sounds the same as when I left them earlier. "Are you home?" he asks and I sigh.

"Yeah, I am home, you guys?" I ask and I can hear they are still at the venue because I can hear Lucy and Zeref in the back ground.

"Natsu we still wanna drink!" I hear Lucy yell and then there is some laugher.

"Let's have a barbeque at your place?" Laxus asks and I raise a brow as I look around the house. It was clean and Lisanna would be home in one hour, and a barbeque wouldn't harm anyone right?

"Who?" I ask as I sit up straight on the couch and I look around. Everything was still as I left it this morning.

"Zeref and Cosmos, me and Laxus." I hear Lucy's voice and I sit for a moment as I listen to her upbeat voice. "We will get drinks and meat if you can make salad or something?" she asks and at this I nod my head as I look to my son who looks to me and he smiles brightly.

"Sure, let me call my wife and inform her. When would you guys be coming?" I ask as I reach for the glass of water on the table.

"How are we gonna drive?" I hear someone say and it's clear that they are not talking into the phone right now.

"I am not sure where he stays." That was Lucy.

"Okay what about you drive behind us till the station then you can go and drop of Cosmos' car and then we can meet at his place?" Laxus asks and there is some murmurs as I can't make out what is being said on the other side.

"Yeah I remember somewhat of where he stays. So that's the plan?" Zeref asks and I hear some more murmurs as I look around the house to make sure it looked okay.

"Okay we will be there in like 45 minutes." I hear Laxus say.

"Okay then." I say as I hear the click and the call ends and I look at Toby who smiles to me.

"Daddy is someone coming to visit?" my son asks to which I just smile and I nod my head.

"Yeah, some of daddies friends." His eyes lit up like the Fourth of July as he smiles to me. "Let's call mommy." I say as he makes his way towards me and then I rise to my feet and I pick him up into my arm as I start to walk towards the kitchen. I dial Lisanna with my other hand and soon place the phone on speaker phone as I place my son on the kitchen counter and I keep the phone between us.

"Hi love, how are you feeling, did you pick up Toby?" Lisanna asks as I turn to the fridge and open it.

"Hey, yeah I picked up Toby. Listen some work friends are coming over. Is that okay?" I ask and there is a pause on her side before she replies.

"Sure, who?" she asks.

"Well its Laxus and Lucy and Zeref and his girlfriend." I say and I feel a bit uneasy to even say Lucy's name in front of my wife.

"Sure thing, we going to have a barbeque?" she asks and I look back to Toby then to the phone, she was reading me like a book.

"Yes mommy." Toby says and at this he smiles and I can think that she is smiling as well. "Daddy invited his fwends." He says and at this I just smile.

"Sure thing. Just make sure everything is in place and clean please love." She says and at this I nod my head knowing she is not able to see.

"Sure thing. See you in a bit." I say as I end the call and I start to pull out things from the fridge. I would make a salad and something to ensure that the drunk morons actually have food in their bodies. At this rate they have been drinking since this morning and sober wasn't even a word in their vocabulary. By the time I finished the salads, and got freshen up my phone started ringing and I can see Toby running towards me with it in his hand.

I reach for it and then look at the caller ID. Zeref… "Hey bud." I greet into the phone and start to move to the front door, my son following me as I go.

"We are here." I hear Zeref say and then I nod my head.

"Okay let me send you the code to come in and then you turn to the right, you can park at any parking there." I reply into the phone, I hear a faint okay and I end the call. I instantly send both Zeref and Laxus the code to enter the security complex because I know they would follow suite. I open the door and I can hear a vehicle driving to our houses direction. Toby following me suite as he stands behind me. And soon I see Cosmos and Zeref's faces as they move to the gate smiling brightly. "Just open the gate and come in." I say as I watch the petite girl walk in to my yard, Zeref carrying a cooler box and a bag as they walk.

"I forgot how easy it is to find this place." Zeref says with a smile. I nod my head as I guide him towards the front door towards the open plan kitchen.

"You have a beautiful place!" Cosmos says as she looks around walking slowly. I watch my son out of the corner of my eye as he stands behind a chair looking at Cosmos, not too sure if he should greet or hide. I shake my head from side to side as Zeref places their stuff down and start packing their drinks into the fridge along with their drinks.

"Thank you." I say as I reach for my son and he walks to me, I pick him up instantly as I walk to the other two people. "This is my son Toby and Toby this is daddy's friends, Uncle Zeref and Aunt Cosmos." I say and he is shy as he hides into me and at this Zeref extends his hand to him and he looks to it then shakes his head from side to side not wanting to do anything with the younger male. It was only a few moments later when my wife arrived and I introduced her to my friends. It seemed that Cosmos and Lisanna hit it off well, the same with Zeref and Lisanna.

About an hour later Laxus' voice finally booms from the gate as he opens it and smiles waving to the four of us sitting on my porch, fire almost ready for the barbeque. "Hello, Hello lovely people." Laxus greets as he walks into my yard with ease, packets in his hands. Both myself and Zeref rise to our feet and move over to him to help him. And that's when I look up and Lucy slowly walks in, she seems really unsure as she smiles, clutching onto her purse.

"Finally!" Zeref says as he walks back out and he is followed by Laxus who is smiling from ear to ear.

"Where the hell did you two disappear to?" Cosmos says as she rises from her seat and she walks over to Lucy, hugging her.

"Hi," Was the first thing Lucy said as she looks to me and Lisanna and then to Toby who is clinging to my wife's calve. "Sorry we stopped at three difference place." Lucy says and I can see that red hue on her cheeks. She was actually being shy. Something I never saw.

"Lucy is undecided." Laxus says as he walks to the side and he grabs for two chairs as everyone seems to make themselves at home except Lucy who seems to be slightly uncomfortable. She turns slightly to the side and then she looks back to me and my wife and she take a slow step towards us stopping a few inches.

I furrow a brow and then watch as she extends her hand towards my wife. "Hi, I'm Lucy, you must be Lisanna… Natsu's wife?" She asks and the way she said it, it was as pure and innocent as she smiles towards me and my wife. I remain staring at her as I never really thought something like this would happen, the girl I was lusting after meeting my wife and she knowingly knew it was my wife.

"Oh! Yeah these buffoons haven't introduced us." Lisanna says as she giggles and she extends her hand towards Lucy but instead of shaking her hand she pulls Lucy in for a hug. "I'm Lisanna Dragneel and this is our son Toby." Lisanna says as she pulls away and looks down.

Lucy continues to smile, and she isn't even faking it as she nods her head and when Lisanna lets her go she bends down to Toby's level and she smile to him extending her hand to him.

"Hi Toby, I'm Lucy, nice to meet you." She says in the sweetest way and I expect my son to do exactly what he did to Zeref and Cosmos but he smiles and he extends his hand to Lucy before he is in her arms. Hugging her tightly as she picks him up on her hip, and she giggles as she looks to him.

"Hi Lucy, can you be my friend?" my son asks and we all look to him and the blonde as she smiles and nods her head to him.

"Of course!" She exclaims as she looks to me and Lisanna a bit unsure if she is allowed to even pick him up. "If it's okay with your mom and dad?" she asks and at this Laxus walks to Lucy and hugs both her and Toby and for a moment they almost seem like a little family.

"Hey little man, don't go stealing my girlfriend." Laxus says and at this I chuckle because he was being such a joke right now. But I couldn't help the pang of jealousy that spiked as I saw him with Lucy and Toby.

"Oh! So you're the girl that stole Laxus!" Lisanna asked with a giggle and at this he actually blushed and Lucy just smile. "Treat him well." Lisanna says with a smile as she wraps her arm around me and she hugs me, and for a moment I feel completely off.

Lucy makes eye contact with Lisanna and then with me and she gives this small apologetic smile. "Sure will. But right now I have a play date with this one." Lucy states with a smile before she turns to Toby and she asks him something. Lisanna smiles and then she even turns into me and she places a peck on my cheek. Laxus just laughs as he walks over to Zeref and Cosmos.

Most of the night was either Lucy playing with Toby and feeding him chocolates or Laxus trying to get Zeref and myself to drink more, and Cosmos would sit with Lisanna and just talk. Every now and then I would see Lucy smile towards me before she grabs up my son and throw him into the air again. I don't know who was going to be more tired. Lucy or Toby?

Just before we ate I watch as Lucy make her way into the house and she rummages in her purse pulling out her phone as she places it to her ear. I see Laxus looks up and shake his head. "Most likely Mavis asking Lucy something again." He says and at this I nod my head taking another sip of my beer. I continue to watch as I see her turn her back towards us and then I look back to Cosmos and Lisanna. A few moment later I see Laxus walk into the house and then Lucy tells him something and he frowns but he nods his head, Toby rushes over to Lucy and then she pulls him into her arms again as she turns to grab her purse.

Laxus is soon the one who walks out with a bag. "Sorry for this but it's time for us to get going." Laxus says with a nod of his head. I furrow my brows as Lucy follows behind still holding my son.

"Yeah it's late and we need to get home." She states but she doesn't make eye contact as she smiles to Toby and then tickles him. "I need to leave now." She says to the little boy in her arms.

"Daddy why can't Lucy be my mommy." At this Lucy goes completely quiet, Laxus smiles and I look to my son in complete shock but I would also have liked it if she was his mommy. I shake my head from side to side as I look to Lisanna who giggles at something Cosmos said, she clearly didn't hear what her son just said.

"We'll see you on Monday then." I say a bit uncomfortable as I move to Lucy and in the motion of taking my son I hug her, both herself and Laxus greets the remaining group and with that they are off. I look to Zeref and he smiles. "Those two…" I say under my breath.

"They make such a cute couple. How long have they been together?" Lisanna asks and at this I furrow my brow because I didn't know if it was official between the two of them and I did not want to speculate.

"Not sure, the relationship started recently." Cosmos says with a smile and Zeref furrows his brows as well.

"I didn't even know…" Zeref states and at this Lisanna frowns. "Before or after us?" Zeref asks.

"I have no idea. But they look good together." Cosmos says and at this I just shake my head from side to side.

"It's good to know everyone has a girl now." Lisanna says and at this I chuckle.

"Why?" I ask and Zeref looks to my wife.

"Well it's always the single ones leading the others to do stuff they shouldn't." At this Cosmos burst out laughing and Zeref chuckles as well. I rub the back of my head. "I am aiming that statement to Gray and Jellal though…" At this I chuckle but shake my head. How true her words were she would never know.

"The number you have dialled is not available at the moment. Please try again later." I frown as I remove the phone from my ear and look at the screen. I looked to my contacts and select the second number and I press dial. A few seconds later… "The number you have dialled is not available at the moment. Please try again later."

I frown again as I sit in the front office staring at my phone. Why was she not answering? Was she in a meeting? I hear footsteps approach and I look up only to see Hibiki and Laxus walking in.

"Are we going out?" Laxus asks and at this I look up and nod my head.

"We can, I'm just trying to get a hold of Lucy, and I need her to do something for me." I say and I see Laxus look up to me with a frown.

"What do you need, can't Aries get it?" Laxus asks and I look to him, he seemed a bit strange since he arrived at work this morning.

"Probably. But I also want to scold Lucy for feeding my kid so much chocolate that he woke me up at 2 AM and threw up in our bed." At this Hibiki frowns and Laxus starts laughing out of the pit of his stomach. "I wanted to call her to come and clean it!" I exclaimed and Laxus just seems to laugh a bit more loudly as he shakes his head.

"Did I miss something?" Hibiki asks and we both look to him and shake our head as we continue to laugh.

"The barbeque after the fun day." Laxus states as he pats the younger male on his back.

"I had to go home," Hibiki explains but we all know that he was too drunk too even stand on his feet. "But next time." He says and there is truly hope in his voice.

"I will say this now, no one kept up with Lucy expect Zeref so I am actually scared to drink with them again." At this we all chuckle again. "Lucy won't be here most of the week she had to tend to some family problems." I can see how Laxus withdraws as he says this.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe I'll try and call later." I say as I look to my friend and he just nods his head.

"That's if she has signal. She can send WhatsApp messages but she doesn't have signal to call." Laxus says as he raises a brow but I nod my head as I look to my phone and place it in my pocket.

"I'll send her a message then." I manage to say as Zeref enters the office and soon Gray is behind him and Jellal.

"Good morning lads!" Zeref greets and he is way too cheerful for us. Seems like he skipped the hangover that I still had, two days later. "Okay Laxus you need to fess up!" Zeref states grabbing Laxus with a firm grip and I just turn and look as he continues to hold him in a vice grip. "When did you and Lucy get official?" When the words sink in I look down. And I am at a loss of words as I look to our boots now.

"What!" Jellal asks also taking hold of the male in question. "I didn't even know you were going to go for her!" Jellal states as he truly seems excited about this. I watch as Gray finally smiles wide.

"I knew it was bound to happen. Just kept wondering why it took forever." Gray says as he grabs for Laxus and pulls him in for a hug.

"I never admitted anything!" Laxus states and there is a blush on his face as he look around the group of men. "We aren't official as of yet." Laxus shyly says as he looks to the ground.

"Liar." Zeref states as he extends his hand towards him, shaking it, almost like congratulating him. I have a bitter taste in my mouth as I rise to my feet and I walk to him also extending my hand. "I see you two sitting and talking all the time." Zeref says and at this Jellal furrows.

"Honestly speaking Lucy treats us all equally, if you look at it." Jellal says but I still grab onto Laxus hand and shake it forcing on a fake smile.

"But she hugs him." Zeref says and then he stops and furrows his brows. "Wait she hugs us all. I take it back." At this we all laugh.

"I do plan on asking her out on her birthday later this month." At this I raise my brow and nod my head. "You know to officially be my girlfriend."

"I have no doubt she would not agree." I say and I know it is forces and I don't even really mean it but it goes unnoticed to everyone.

"What are you going to have this big confession?" Hibiki asks and at this Laxus just chuckles.

"No, I just plan to take her to a dinner and a movie, the old way of romancing." Laxus says and at this Gray chuckles.

"Well IT Two is showing in cinemas and she would like that." Gray states and I nod my head, she would love that.

"We should actually ask Mavis if we can work in civilian clothes and then, I'll tell Lucy, me and Lisanna will take her out for dinner and then you can surprise her with a romantic dinner and movie." I manage to say and it was like Laxus' eye lit up at the idea.

"You would do that?" He asks and even though I didn't want to, I didn't want to ever see them together, let alone see her with another man except me, I smile and I nod my head.

"Yeah. What are friends for?" I say and at this Laxus just smiles and shakes my hand, pulling me closer for a hug.
