RosesMcKellar, Mistress Katana. He didn't think that through. Ballistic team, here we come.
angelMwings, rmadhumita378. Thanks. They are being so sweet my teeth are rotting out of my head.
NinjaKitten93. He did. I'll let Gajeel and Levy explain. Natsu is just more concerned with Lucy ... you'll see.
twizt312. Cobra is rubbing off on Pipi.
nx2U. See. That's why I love you guys. I totally forgot to account for that.
Unoyoko94. I adore the babies. I'm trying to give them as much... page time as possible.
The Fakhouri Legacy. Hahaha. I know right?
Hiro Mashima is why Fairy Tail is so awesome.

Bickslow was lying flat on his back when he remembered that there was a good reason his Cosplayer hadn't been snatched up by someone before now. Her team was crazy protective and there answer to everything, even if it wasn't a problem, was violence. Just look at Erza's hugs.
Lucy had been torn from his arms and thrown into Natsu's by Gray before a cold fist to the jaw had introduced the back of his head to the floor. Lucy's foot had shot out to put Gray in the wall, where Loke and Gajeel were keeping him. Juvia waiked and wept. Evergreen and Lisanna had pulled Lucy from Natsu and the four of them were engaged in a screaming match. Laxus was laughing at Freed as Wendy fussed over his unconscious form. Cana, Mira, and Meredy were doing the same thing on the other side of the room. If Levy flapped her arms any harder she was going to take off and start flying around the room with his babies.
"You didn't think that through did you?" Cobra grinned down at him.
"Fuck you, Cyclops."
"Yeah, yeah." Cobra offered him an arm to pull him off the floor. "You Fairies are all fucking crazy." Bickslow had to agree. The two of them sat on a bench as the floaters of chaos raged around them.
XxXxXxXxX
"Get the fuck off me, Gajeel! What the hell is your problem, Loke? You should be helping me pumble him!"
"Lucy trusts me to keep you off Disco Princess while she us dealing with Natsu, so you will stay here!"
"Aaaaaah!"
"Gray, my beloved!"
"You want her to kick you again, Ice Princess?" *Lucy Kick, kick the Ice Princess. "Did you not hear what Flame brain said? They fucking scent marked each other!"
"I don't know what the hell that means!"
XxXxXxXxX
"Why would you do that, Luce!"
"For the last time, I'm not a fucking dog, Natsu! I didn't do anything to him!"
"But you did!"
"Natsu, if Lucy chose Bickslow that's her choice! You have no right to judge her!"
"But... Bickslow?"
"Is there something wrong with Bickslow? Is my team mate not good enough for your friend you stupid baby dragon!" *stupid dragon, baby dragon, diaper baby dragon.
"I'm not stupid! Or a baby! Lucy, why..."
"You don't know anything about Bixy, Natsu! I happen to be... You be nice! And I didn't mark anyone! Scent or otherwise!"
"Punishment, Princess? Has the Disco Princess been harmed?"
XxXxXxXxX
"Freed! Wake up! Come on, answer me!"
"He's fine Squirt. Bix and Blondie just broke his brain. He will be alright in a minute."
"Broke his brain! What did they do to him!" *broke his brain, broke his brain.
XxXxXxXxX
"She's fine, Pinky. This happens all the time."
"But what's wrong with her?"
"To much baby brain and not enough booze." *BixLu Babies, boozie babies.
"How would alcohol help this? Wouldn't that make it worse?"
XxXxXxXxX
"Solid script gong!" Cobra clapped his hands over his ears just before Levy slammed an abandoned beer mug into her gong. All eyes turned to her and silence fell. "What in earthland is going on here?" When more than one person tried to answer her the beer mug gong was put into play again. "One at a time. Who started this?" Fingers were pointed, mostly at Gray and Bickslow. "Bickslow why does Gray want to kill you? What did you do this time?"
"Bickslow di..." The gong sounded again.
"Wait your turn, Lu." Bickslow and Gajeel both chuckled as Lucy gaped at the little blunette. "Bickslow?"
"I kissed Cosplayer." He tried shrugging as if it wasn't a big deal. Gray let out another cry of rage, and Natsu growled from the corner the girls had backed him into. Levy blinked.
"Umm... ok." She looked at Gray. "I get why Gray is upset, but... If that's all their was too it Loke and Gajeel would have just let you pound him into pulp. So... why is he still whole?"
"Because they have lost their minds! Let me go you..." Levy rang her gong again.
"You are obviously not in a talking state of mind. Loke, have you lost your mind?"
"I'm a Fairy Tail wizard baby girl. If I ever had one it is long gone." Levy glared at him.
"You are so helpful. Gajeel? A little help?"
"They've scent marked all over each other." Levy blushed. Lucy's teammates both growled.
"BixLu babies!" Meredy managed to catch Mira's head before it hit the floor again.
"All right, Lucy! Get you some!"
"Don't make me ring this thing again, Cana!"
"Sorry, Lil Blue."
"G-Gajeel are you saying that Lucy and Bickslow are...s-s-sl..."
"Gihihi."
"Don't let the Rusty Lizard lie to you, Bluebird. Tits isn't keeping secrets from you. It's just a scent mark. They aren't having sex." Cobra smirked again. "Yet." Bickslow shoved him off the bench. "Watch it, Echo!" Levy rang her gong, and Cobra slammed his hands back over his ears.
"Sit down and be quiet, Cobra. And don't glare at me. Lucy brought you home, so I'm not scared of you." Cobra gaped. "Now. Lu, is this true?"
"I didn't scent mark anyone!"
"Yes, you did, Luce!"
"No, I didnt!"
"But..." The beer mug hit the gong again.
"Actually, Lu, if the slayers all agree then you probably did."
"We went on a mission. You smell like people when you are close to them. I probably smell like Meredy too. Even Slither Bat a little."
"Slither... oh you mean Cobra. No a scent mark isn't just a smell. I've read about this kind of thing. Basically it means you were in close contact and are extremely... emotional... about someone. It's a hormone thing. Gajeel help me out here."
"Everybody knows you smell like Flame Brain, Bunny, but even before they started fucking we could tell Lisanna was his woman. It's different." Lisanna's face was all but steaming. Natsu growled. There was a shocked inhale from those in the guild who hadn't known.
"Love Rival is... dating Bickslow?" The guild looked at Lucy with wide eyes.
"Umm... noooo..." As adorable as Lucy's blush was Bickslow wasn't going to just let her suffer alone.
"Any relationship that Lucy and I may or may not have is our business unless we choose to share it. I can give you my word that I won't disrespect her, and even if I did we all know she can kick my ass. Right babies?" *Lucy Kick, the pain, good view though.
"Pepe!"
"Cosplayer?"
"Just because you don't have an ass doesn't mean you aren't one." Lucy glared. 'Pepe, you aren't helping here. Please don't make Cosplayer mad.'
"Tits, you are a genius! Do it!" Cobra looked thrilled, so apparently he heard Lucy thinking something evil.
"What did he hear you planning, Cosplayer?" She just blushed.
"She was thinking about painting him like that stupid cat! Come on, Tits, please?"
"Happy isn't stupid!" Natsu escaped the human cage he had been in.
"Then how do you know I was talking about him, Smoke for brains?"
"Fight me, Cobra!" Cobra lunged for Natsu, who dodged, slamming into Loke, who fell into Gajeel, releasing Gray who, not expecting this, fell, slamming into Laxus, who almost fell also, barely catching himself on the bench Bickslow sat on. Physics and a fulcrum effect sent Bickslow flying over the railing to land on Elfman where he stood below. It took less than three seconds to involve the whole guild.
XxXxXxXxX
Lucy placed herself between Evergreen and the brawl her friends had started. She draped an arm around Lisanna's shoulders and Virgo managed to snag Levy, who Lucy tucked under her other arm, before she got crushed under a table. She did this for two reasons. One was that they made Evergreen's human shield bigger. Two was so the two couldn't escape from the conversation she was about to start.
"Girls, girls. You two have been so very very bad." Lisanna blushed. Guilty. Probably of more than what she was referring to. Bickslow was right about their sweet little takeover mage.
"Punishment, Princess?" She shook her head at her spirit and grinned.
"What are you talking about, Lu?" Meredy and Wendy joined them.
"How long have you been heading out on the town with Gajeel and the party crew? And why didn't you tell me!" Levy blanched.
"I wasn't... I didn't... It's not..." Her cheeks began to turn red. "A while, but it's not very often. I'm sorry!"
"That's what Bixy said." Lucy glanced around the growing circle of females taking refuge from the brawl that had moved downstairs. Juvia, Meredy, and Mira had linked themselves to Lisanna's side of the human wall, and Laki and Kinana had been pulled in by Wendy when they came upstairs. When Meredy linked her arm with Evergreen's she lit up and grinned, closing the circle when she reached for Kinana. Pipi and Pupu even stacked themselves on Lucy's head, apparently deciding that girl time was more important than whatever Bickslow was doing.
"Princess? Shall I prepare a lunch so that you may enjoy time with your female friends while Disco Princess participates in masculine activities? It is not often I come to the guild and it would be my pleasure."
"You want to make lunch... for the whole guild?"
"Please, Princess." Virgo bowed.
"I... guess so..."
"Virgo, are you sure?" Mira spoke up. When the spirit nodded the mage beamed.
"You are so sweet. You are welcome to use my kitchen if you wish!"
"It is my pleasure, Mirajane. However I believe I will work more efficiently in my own kitchen." The spirit bowed again and disappeared.
"Ok then." Lucy eyed Levy. "So. Anyone else have any deep, dark secrets they want to share, before someone else shares for them?" Cana draped herself over Lucy's shoulder and grinned.
"You mean besides you... Cosplayer? That was a intensly sexy kiss he laid on you. What else has 'Bixy' been saying, hmm? Not much I bet. I promise if I had access to that tongue he wouldn't be using it to talk. Tell Mama Cana. Is it as good as it looks?" Lucy thought her face would catch on fire.
"I... I... wouldn't know. It... wasn't that kind of kiss." The babies on her head giggled and whistled. Knowing Bickslow would in all likelihood hear about this conversation, if he wasnt already listening, she decided to let her inner vixen out to play. "Though I definitely wouldn't have objected. It's really a shame that Gray... cut us off." Whistles and cat calls were heard around the circle
"So..." Wendy's forehead was creased in thought. "If you and Bickslow aren't dating... then... What are you? The boys were right by the way. You smell like you are his. And he smells like he is yours."
"Umm..." Lucy thought for a moment. "A work in progress? When I brought it up he said we understand each other and he knows what he wants, which I guess is me, even though he knew my team... wouldn't be nice about it. Bickslow's exact words were 'I'm serious. Think about it. We finish this mission first. Go home. Breath for a couple days." She paused amid a chorus of aww to wink. "Then come to me if you still want those kisses." Mira fanned herself and squealed. "Though we've both been holding our breath an awful lot, and I'm pretty sure he forgot about the thinking thing, right before he kissed me in front of the whole guild."
"Oh that's not all!" Meredy was grinning widely as she spoke up. "He was all curled up with his head in her lap last night when he told us she healed his bleeding soul with a kiss." Gasps came from around the circle. "And they spent all of last night cuddling in his bed. They were curled around eachother like puppies when Virgo and I checked on them this morning." Lucy blushed red.
"Oh" Evergreen pipped up. "And this morning, while Lucy was out of the room, he said he felt like his brain went through a blender." There were giggles, and a wow from Cana.
"Umm..." Wendy literally raised her hand before speaking. "How is that a good thing?"
"Because..." Evergreen began before Pipi and Pupu began to spin and sing in the middle of their circle.
"I'm dealing."
"I'm fine."
"It's weird,"
"And good."
"Way better,"
"Than ok."
"I've got this."
"Sorta."
That brought reactions from all the girls. Bickslow's voice was heard above the brawl downstairs yelling about tiny traitors. Lucy felt like her heart would burst. She hadn't been there to hear him say that, which was good because she might have fainted.
"Wow. That's... Pipi?" Lucy beckoned the totem closer. "Send your daddy something for me?"
"Yep, yep. Pipi help." Lucy watched Bickslow's tall form fighting with their friends over the balcony rail as she kissed the totems forehead gently and whispered to quietly for anyone but Pipi and Wendy to hear
"Thanks, Doc." She saw him tense and jerk around to grin up at her. A real happy grin, not one of those silly ones. A chair headed for the back of his head and she spoke a little louder this time. "Duck." He did, and returned his attention to the fight.
"What dirty, nasty things are you sharing with that poor baby?" Lucy laughed.
"Nothing of the sort, Cana." Virgo appeared, snatched Levy's beer mug gong, and reappeared standing on the bar surrounded by food. The mug shattered when she slammed it against the gong, but it ended the brawl quite suddenly.
"Lunch is served, Fairy Tail."
