Back with fanfics for my Natsus
"speaking"
"thinking"
On with the story
It was a very peaceful day in Crocus as the kingdom's citizen went on their peaceful daily lives
Within the home of the Dash's. Natsu was in his store and in the middle of taking care of his daughter
Lily was sleeping as Natsu carried her in his arms
The child sucks on her pacifier while sleeping as Natsu sat on a rocking chair with his legs rocking it back and forth
Natsu patted Lily's back gently as the child sleeps peacefully
Natsu continues to take care of his little girl before the door to his candy store slides open and his wife came in with Puru
"I'm home" Cosmos said with a smile as Puru came jumping on top of the register table
"welcome back" Natsu said standing back up while carrying Lily as the man passes the little girl to her mother
Cosmos gave a peck to Lily as the child snuggles to her mother's warmth while sucking on her pacifier
"have the king given you permission?" Natsu asked as Puru jumped to his shoulder and the man gave the furball a jawbreaker which was gobbled up by it
"he was very kind for our Lily's birthday" Cosmos replied with a smile before seeing Lily sleepily open her eyes and sees her mother
"did Lily have a good afternoon nap?" Cosmos gives Lily a kiss to the forehead as Lily stretches her little hand before resting her head on her mother's chest as the child slowly went falling asleep
Cosmos giggles as her little girl was a sleepyhead
Natsu caresses Lily's back as Puru purred out before jumping off Natsu's shoulder and to the register's counter
"Puruuuu" Puru purred out as Natsu and Cosmos looks to Lily, their precious little girl
The next day came as Cosmos was giving Lily a bath with Puru while Natsu was downstairs and in the middle of making a small cake
He was spreading the frosting on the cake as he spreads it evenly
After finishing that, Natsu takes a number one birthday candle and place it in the middle of the cake
"there we go" Natsu said as he takes the cake and heads upstairs
There he finds Cosmos with Lily who was wearing and identical dress to what Cosmos usually wears
"isn't she cute?" Cosmos asked with a smile "me and Kamika made this just for her"
Natsu nodded with a smile as Puru came jumping on his shoulder while having a ribbon on top of its head
Lily saw the cake as the child reaches for it
"now now" Cosmos grabs Lily's little hand and smiled to the little girl "you can't have the cake if you haven't blow the candle"
Lily looks confused to her mother while Natsu lit the candle with the tip of his finger
"now blow the candle" Natsu said with a smile as he presented the birthday cake to Lily
Lily just stared at the small fire on the candle as she looks at it in amazement
"blow" Cosmos said while doing a blowing motion with her lips to Lily
After looking at her mother, Lily tried blowing on the candle that resulted in some saliva spitting out of her mouth but the small fire went out as Natsu gritted his teeth once and the flames died down
"there we go" Cosmos smiled to Lily as she patted her head
Natsu slices a piece of the cake as he feeds it to Lily before wiping away the excess cream off of her lips
The happy family went out to the park as Crimson Gunners and the Garou Knights were waiting there with presents
Natsu and Cosmos came to the park as Cosmos smiled to the gifts her friends got for Lily
"I got her a big catch-tai!" Uosuske said as he had a giant fish in his hands
"she can't eat that" Natsu said with a sweatdrop
"then she can't have this?" Neppa asked while holding a bottle of liquor
"my daughter is only 1 year old!" Natsu had a tick mark as the two executioners were pure stupid in their head
While Natsu nagged angrily at the two, Kama and the others gave appropriate gifts for the little girl
"it's so cute~" Cosmos said as Kamika got Lily a little pink dress that looks identical to Cosmos
"right?" Kamika replied with a smile
"I got her a book" Kama said as he gave a children's story book for Lily
"I've gotten the young girl, a pair of animal designed onesies" Tim said holding the two gifts out
"I got the cap's little girl, some new shoes!" Dan said with a grin
"a chew toy" Clay said while adjusting his glasses
"a-a pair of pink socks!" Rookie said while a bit embarrassed to his choice of gift
"it's all great" Cosmos said while looking at Lily who was chewing on the new chew toy, she got from Claw "right, Lily?"
They all celebrated the little girl's birthday as Lily soon fell asleep
Cosmos cradled Lily in her arms as she gives her daughter a goodnight kiss
"sleep tight, Lily" Cosmos whispered to her little girl with a smile
Natsu patted Lily's back as the two bid their friends goodbye for the night and everyone then went back home
Natsu and Cosmos were on their way home with Lily still sleeping peacefully in her mother's arms
Cosmos smiled to Lily as her child looks so peaceful when she's asleep
"what a sleepyhead our little princess is" Cosmos whispered before giving a kiss to Lily's forehead and caressed the child's back
"maybe she got it from me?" Natsu said with a small smile as Cosmos giggles a bit in response
As the two conversed on their way home, a horse carriage came running on the street at high speed
Natsu saw the carriage as it came running at them
"look out!" Natsu shouted as he pulls down Cosmos with him
The carriage ran pass them as it ran pass a few citizens who were surprised by the rash driving
"you alright?" Natsu asked Cosmos who nodded before realizing that Lily wasn't in her arms
"Lily?" Cosmos looks in surprise as she was holding her daughter a few seconds ago before she looks to the direction of where the horse carriage was running away "LILY!"
The horse carriage runs at high speed in the town's street as citizens had to ran away to avoid getting hit by it
Within the carriage was a group of men as one was holding a sack which had the sound of crying coming out of it
"hehehehe, that was too easy" one of the men said with a grin as he threw the sack beside him "now all we got to do now is write the ransom letter and its smooth sailing after that, boys"
His men snickered before one got annoyed from the constant crying coming from the sack
"man this little brat is crying a lot!" he said before he lifted up his feet and was about to kick the sack when their carriage suddenly went to a sudden halt
The sudden stop made the group of men fell of their seats before getting back up
"hey! Why the hell did we stop!?" one of the men shouted out as he looks out the window and sees that the horses were cut off from the carriage and were running away
"what the hell!? Who the hell cuts our horses!?" one of the other men said before going to open the door when it was suddenly ripped off the carriage by a furious looking Natsu who had scales running up his neck
"where is my daughter!?" Natsu growled angrily as he grabs one of the men's face before sending a flaming punch straight at his gut and then followed it up with countless knee kicks
Natsu then threw the men aside before taking out one of his guns and shot the man straight at the head
"what the heck!? It's Natsu Dash!" one of the men shouted while trying to get away but could not as a giant predator plant came sprouting out of the street and ate the men
"a plant!?" the last of the men exclaimed in shock before he saw Cosmos approaching the carriage as the mother looks rather displeased
"you dare kidnap my little girl?" Cosmos said with a threatening voice as the man tried to get away but Natsu blocked his escape path
"going somewhere?" Natsu asked before he cracked his knuckles
The kidnapper started sweating waterfalls before Natsu pound him to the ground in a matter of seconds
Cosmos reached into the carriage as she found the sack and opened it
She reaches in and pulls out Lily who was crying a lot
"there there" Cosmos cooed to her little girl as to comfort her crying "Mama and Papa are here"
"Gaaaah!" the kidnapper screams in pain as Natsu breaks his legs with his bare hands
"I'll show you something worse than death" Natsu said as he takes out his magnums and rolled the round in
The kidnapper looks in fear as Natsu points the gun at his forehead
"do you feel lucky? do you?" Natsu asked with a grin as his eyes glowed red
The kidnapper started to tear up before he screams
BANG!
Natsu and Cosmos were back at their home as Lily was still crying but rather quietly
"there there, the bad men are gone" Cosmos caressed Lily's back to comfort her as the mother gives her calming kisses "Papa took care of them"
Natsu closes the door as he locks it
Cosmos tried hard to calm Lily but the child was still crying after being taken away by the kidnappers
Lily cried and she cried as Cosmos holds her while giving her calming kisses and pats
Natsu joins Cosmos as he got Lily's favourite Dragon Doll
He gave his daughter the doll as Lily hugs it while crying in sniffles
"there there" Natsu cooed to Lily "Papa promise to keep you safe, the bad men aren't coming back ever"
Lily sniffles a bit before she soon fell asleep in Cosmos' arms while hugging her dragon doll
Cosmos sighs with a smile as she gives Lily a kiss to the forehead before humming a lullaby
"go on" Natsu whispered giving his wife a pat to the shoulder "I'll lock the place up and join you guys up stairs"
Cosmos nodded as she went upstairs with Puru accompanying her
Natsu started to close up his store as he closed and locked the windows, locked up his safe, and then stash away some of his expensive candies into a locker to keep Puru from eating them
After finishing it, Natsu went up stairs as he finds Cosmos Cradling Lily while rocking back and forth on a rocking chair
He joins her as he kneels beside Cosmos while looking at Lily
"I was so scared…" Cosmos whispered as she patted Lily's back "….seeing Lily getting taken away….it was too horrifying"
"don't worry" Natsu said as he caresses Lily's cheeks with his thumb before giving a smile to his wife "..i won't let it happen…ever again"
Cosmos smiled back before the two went back to taking care of Lily as the parents watched her sleep so peacefully
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
