it was finally weekend
both lucy and yukino decided to buy groceries together so they can sort things out with each other's preferences
lucy was the one who's pushing the cart since yukino doesn't want to, pointing at a certain cereal, she spoke the younger's back "yuki please get me that" and the other followed
"they look like a good pair"
"they look young tho"
both of them shared a look, eyes widening as their minds processing the words they heard "don't tell me they're talking about us?"
"uhh yeah? i mean they're basically looking at us"
"oh why am I not surprised, we got this a lot back in edolas too and all i did was hide my hair and wear sweats with shades" yukino huffed and earned a hit on her arm
"you're one of my date options tho"
"hello? we're blood related and that's disgusting"
"i didn't say i'll actually date you, what i mean is-" her words were cut off whens he saw and heard a familiar guy
"Lucy is that you?"
and that guy lowkey made her boredom disappear
"Yukino you're here too?" the guy bend his head, eyes squinting doubtful
"hi natsu" she greeted back with a beaming smile taking off her shades making natsu sigh in relief
"aunt yuki!" a baby waddled on the girl's direction who immediately crouched down with open arms
" i never saw you for days" she said while hugging the life out of her
"she can't breathe idiot"
"oh sorry hehe" she let go of sol and stood up, throwing an arm around lucy's shoulder "so, natsu how's life?"
"you sound like a old man" the older joked and they both laughed
while the two had their own world, lucy shoved yuki's arm and went to carry sol who's looking around like a lost baby "do you want something to buy sol?"
"i want pancakes"
"oh pancakes mix wait up, hey guys this baby wants pancakes"
both of them nodded and the four continued grocery shopping with sol mostly whining about the candies natsu doesn't want to buy because candies-can-break-her-teeth
"you want ice cream baby?"
so basically lucy was the one who carried sol around since the kid doesn't want to stay away from her
now natsu left with no choice but to let his daughter even though he's honestly shy and all, minding how sol might tire lucy up
"nats relax, lucy really knows how to handle kids, look at her smiling and all"
"yeah i know yuki, it's just that...she might be tired of handling sol right now, not to mention sol is really taking her alone time whenever she sees her-"
"dada!"
natsu sighed and managed to show a bright smile. he reached both hands to his daughter but sol shook her head with a giggle "sol want to be with pretty lu"
both yukino and lucy laughed at how adorable the baby is while natsu puffed his cheeks looking apologetic towards lucy "Luce i'm sorry"
"what? why are you apologizing?"
"oh nats here thought this cutie baby is tiring you out" yukino was the one who answered when she felt the male can't answer that made lucy eyes widen and shake her head
"natsu no, sol isn't taking my time out. infact im glad to meet sol and make her comfortable with me, she kinda like my daughter ya know, not that serious but i really like her...right baby?"
"i like pretty lu too"
natsu was really beyond speechless that time
lucy's words are playing continuously on his head clouding his mind like the sweetest lyrics of his most favorite song
"not to lie, she looks like a mom"
"yeah she looks like sol's mom"
he aggressively shook his head trying to get both lucy and sting and gray's words off his head
"dada you okay?"
"oh yes baby i am"
he then eyed lucy who gave him a worried look, he returned with a warm smile and mouthed 'i am okay'
"uhh natsu? i think we should head home?" yukino said after looking at her watch "we're meeting with a family friend minutes from now"
"oh right sol come here, pretty lu needs to go"
"nooooooo dada" she clung onto lucy's neck more and the blonde rubbed circles on her back
"how about pretty lu stop by dada's cafe tomorrow?"
"dada will drop me at aunt via" she answered angrily
"then uhh natsu?"
"yeah?"
lucy sighed and spoke "guess i'll drop by your house to be with sol?"
both natsu and yukino's eyes widen in shock "r-really?" natsu asked for confirmation and the girl nodded
"tomorrow?"
again she nodded
"pretty lu will come tomorrow?"
"uhh if that's okay with your dada baby"
he did contemplate a bit but seeing his daughters pout and boba eyes, and lucy seemed wiling to look out fro her
"oh just say yes nats, she's alone in the house by the way since i'm busy these days"
okay the-wait
"you're always alone in the house?"
his sudden outburst made her flinch and nodded afterwards
"you can come by at my house if you want then, maybe sol can accompany you too"
"i can!?"
"pretty lu can!?"
and he can just nod at the girls with a bright smile
guess there's another girl added on his list now??
