When I got home it was late in the morning. I went home immediately to get freshen up before going to the guild. To my surprise there was a fresh pair of clothes on the bed waiting for me. 'She really is the best wife that a man could have asked for.' I thought to myself as I went into the bathroom. Twenty minutes later I was standing in front of the guildhall. I opened the door and quickly found my family sitting at one of the many tables with the rest of Team Natsu. I went up behind my wife and hugged her; which made her jump a little, but she quickly realized it was me.
"Hey baby." I said against her neck.
"Hey, welcome back." She said turning around to give me a proper hug and kiss. We release each other and I turned my attention towards my children, who were wide eye and focused on me.
"Looks like the little hatchlings are awake." I said taking them from the stroller.
"Of course they are; they're your children after all." Gray said. I gave him a dirty look.
"If these two weren't in my arms I would make you eat those words." I said still glaring at him.
"You could always put them down, but I get it, you're scared of being put in the dog house." He said.
"If you keep on pestering him like that then it will be Juvia who puts you in the dog house." The rain woman said.
"Oh come on babe don't be like that." Gray whined while the rest of us at the table laughed. It seems like after months of dating Juvia has put a leash on the Ice man. We talked for a half hour before I finally asked.
"Hey does anyone know if the master here?"
"Umm I don't know you would have to ask Mira that one?" Lucy said as the others agreed with her.
"Why do you want to know?" Gray asked.
"Oh you know I just need to tell him stuff that happened on the mission." I said giving him a look.
"Oh yeah." He said in realization.
"Yeah, hey Mira is the old man here?" I asked the white-haired woman.
"He's in his office right now." She said washing a glass.
"Okay thank you." I said getting up from my seat and putting the twins back in their seats.
"I'll be right back." I said to the group, and walked up to the master's office. I knocked before entering the master's domain. The old wise man was sitting behind his desk working on papers that looked important.
"Aw Natsu how are you my boy? What can I do for ya?" He asked.
"I'm doing fine Gramps, and as for what you could do for me; well first I need you to read this." I said giving him a piece of paper the general gave me. After a few minutes of reading he put the paper down.
"I see, I had hoped that we would have put that behind us, but I guess that was too much to asked for." He said with a sigh.
"I had hoped so too, but I guess everyone's past comes back to haunt them." I said sadly.
"When are you going to have to leave?"
"The sooner the better, but I'm probably going to leave in two weeks. I want to spend as much time with my family as I can."
"I understand, do you want me to get you some new gear? You have out grown your old outfit."
"Yeah that probably be a good idea, I'll take when you give me that flyer." I said.
"All right I'll see you in two weeks." The old man said.
"See ya Gramps." I said leaving the room.
The two weeks seem to fly by as I stood in front of the guild with my family. We went in and sat at a table as usual. The old man was sitting at the bar waiting for me.
"Natsu come here for a moment." He said. I got up and went over to him. He handed me the rake request.
"Natsu I have a job for you that is in need of your skills." He said. I looked it over, I have to emit he did a good job making this look legit.
"They just want me hun? Well it pays well so I'll take it, when should I leave?" I ask playing along.
"If I were you I would leave as soon as possible. Oh and take this, it will help you in the long haul." He said giving me a normal look bag. I took the pack and went back to my family.
"Hey guys sorry I can't longer but I need to get going."
"Where are you going?" Lucy asked me.
"I have a job to do." I said giving her the flyer. She looked it over.
"Are you going to take anyone with you?"
"No, master said that they just wanted me to do this mission." I lied.
"It looks like this will take you while to finish." She said in a sad tone.
"Yeah and I probably won't be able to call much either, but I will try to get a hold of you when I can." I said. She sigh, and gave me a hug and a kiss.
"I can't that I'm happy about you being gone that long but I know that you won't say no to a job. Please be careful."
"I always am." I said with smile. I turned to my children and gave them each a kiss on their forehead.
"Hey guys I sorry to that I have to go, but while I'm gone you two need to be good for your mama, Okay? I love you, and when I get back we'll spend lots of time together." I said to them knowing they didn't understand me. I turned back to Lucy and gave her one last kiss before I headed for the door. Giving the room one last look, I went out into the street, praying that I would be able to come back home.
