(A.N. I am alive I promise. It's just been one hell of a past few months for me but here you all go. Have all the LaLu goodness.)
-Lucy's POV-
"You wanna piece of me flame brain."
"Let's go."
Chairs go flying through the air as yet another normal day in Fairy Tail progresses. Tables being overturned, bodies flying everywhere? Yup this was nothing more than a normal day. My thoughts were brought away from all the quarreling by a strong pair of arms being wrapped around my shoulders. I turned to face non-other than my wonderful lover Laxus Dreyar.
I gave him a soft smile as he dipped his face down closer to mine. Our lips met and it felt like the entire world around us had stopped. The kiss was short but sweet and passionate. I pulled away and cupped his face into my small palms.
"I love you Laxus."
"And I you, Lucy."
So much had changed since his return to Magnolia. Which was a month and a half ago. The mean guy who kidnapped me was finally caught. Turns out he had tried to kill one of the council members about a year ago and somehow managed to escape. Who would have known? But that was over and a new era was about to begin. The guild gained a new member! Wendy. It was so sad to hear of everything that poor girl went through but I along with everyone else in the guild welcomed her with open arms.
I glanced over at the small girl as she was trying to break up the fight between Natsu and Gajeel. It was amazing to think that such a young innocent looking girl could be a Dragon Slayer. She looked like a flower compared to those two junk heads. Seeing all of these changes made me happy. I placed my hands over Laxus' who had arms wrapped around me and just let out a sigh of relief.
"What's on your mind babe?"
"Ah just thinking about things. The guild, us, the baby. Speaking of the baby aren't I due for an appointment with Porlyusica today?"
"Yup. Sure are. Did you want me to go with you?"
"Nah I believe I'll go by myself. I love you."
"I love you too."
I gave him a quick farewell kiss and made my way to the door ignoring all of the idiots that still continued to fight over absolutely nothing.
-Laxus POV-
I watched as Lucy walked out the door and quickly turned my attention to the problem at hand. All of these idiots. I used a bit of magical energy to release just enough lightning to stop them. Every movement in the guild ceased to exist and everybody's attention turned to him.
"That's enough! Out of all of you!"
Gramps voice surprised me from the second floor. We all turn to face him and the first thing I notice is the pile of paperwork in his hands. Natsu and the rest of his team, minus Lucy of course, had been on a mission just the day before. Apparently they had left a part of Shirotsume in ashes. That was nothing unusual for that team though. I truly believe Lucy is the only sane one in the group.
"Look at you idiots! You've went and done it again."
I turned my attention back to the lone beer sitting in front of me and let gramps have his rant. I started to think about what Lucy had said. Things had changed a lot. We had Wendy now along with a couple of those phantom rats…no. 'I can't go back there again. I'm a changed man. I can't be sitting here comparing other people to myself. They are all guild members and members of my family.' I took a deep breath and got up from my seat. I needed to breath.
Walking out of the guild hall I realized just how busy town was today. There were people moving about trying to make their way through life. 'I'm lucky. I'm part of an amazing guild. I have a beautiful woman by my side who loves me and I love her. I really am fortunate to have this.' I found a small smile make its way of my face. The doors opened to the guild and out stepped gramps.
"You okay boy?"
"I'm alright gramps. Just got a lot on my mind. I think I'm going to head into town. There are some things I need to take care of."
"Alright just be careful boy."
We each went our separate ways and I walked down the street. A lot of changes have already happened and I knew the world would still continue to change. I pulled a note card out of my pocket.

I walked towards what I knew was going to be a better life for me and Lucy.
~Time Skip! Several hours later~
-Lucy's POV-
I had just arrived back in Magnolia with a big smile on my face. She said everything was just fine with the baby and he/she was progressing normally. Things couldn't have been better. At least I didn't think so. I glanced over to the river's edge where I used to walk freely. I couldn't do things like that now. I opened up the door to my house and let out a sudden shriek.
"What the hell?! Where are my things?"
Every single item in my house was gone. The floors and walls were completely bare. I stared around in disbelief. I noticed a little white piece of paper taped to the wall. On this piece of paper was an address. Without a second thought I walked out the door towards the address. 'What the hell is going on?' I knew this place wasn't too far from where I lived now. It was less than a five minute walk. It was a pretty two story white house with light blue trimming.
I slowly made my way up the walk and tested the doorknob. 'It's unlocked!' I was completely and utterly surprised. Opening the door didn't help anything. I walked inside to a lavishly decorated living room. I immediately noticed all the random pictures of me and the rest of the team on the wall. Tears began to fill my eyes.
"Welcome home Luce. We were going to need a bigger place eventually anyway."
I turned around to see Laxus standing in the doorway. 'I should have known.' I couldn't stop the smile on my face nor the tears from flowing down my face. The world will always continue to change. But one thing that will never change will be the love I have for Laxus Dreyar. I love this man, he loves me, and I can't wait till the day we fully become a family.
