Sorry, It's been a while for an update and everything. So heres a little side story to hold you over till the next chapter is done! this is Natsu's dream from the first key mission.

"Luce!" a pink haired teen screamed at a retreating blonde woman, "Luce please! I'll change, I'll be anything you need!"

"Goodbye Natsu, I've found someone better." the blonde called back, leaning into a guy with red spiky hair much like Natsu's and the reverse outfit of him too, "He's everything you'll never be. Strong, brave, and the best lover anyone could ask for."

"Luce, please. I love you, no one else." the teen called back, trying to run to her but being stopped by an invisible force.

"You never loved me! You used me, you lied about loving me. Not like him," the blonde replied, kissing the red haired teen, "Just give it up. He's the better fire dragon slayer."

the pink haired teen collapsed to his knees with tears streaming down his face, crying "I could care less that he can beat me at everything. I want my friend, Luce, back...I need my mate, Lucy, because I've loved her forever!"

"Natsu..." a voice softly whispers, Natsu whipping his head around looking for the person who spoke. Natsu softly replying "Luce?"

White light replaces the dark cave, now in the garden behind Heartfilia mansion Natsu running towards the beautiful blonde woman in a soft green dress, calling "Layla?"

Turning around, the woman smiles and answers "Natsu, sweetie. Treating my daughter well, I hope."

"Layla...I'm trying. I really am trying to hard." Natsu cried, throwing his arms around the woman's thine frame, "We're getting married soon, and I'm trying to control myself till then,...But I'm afraid that I'll lose her before then."

"Lose her how, young one?" Layla asks, holding Natsu close and stroking his hair.

Natsu breathing deep, replies "That another man will take her, she's so beautiful and everything that's good in life."

"Natsu dear," Layla smiles, answering "No one can take her from you. You understand that, right? She's everything good in your life and you are her whole world. There's no man alive that can change that."

Natsu nods, smiling at her as the white light returns. Now laying on the couch in Lucy's living room, Natsu jumps up after hearing the water start running. Slowly walking towards the bathroom and gently pushing the door open, Natsu watches Lucy enter her small shower. Noticing the door open, Lucy turns and smiles at him. Natsu leaning against the door when Lucy calls "Come here Natsu. I thought you'd sleep all afternoon since you worked so hard this morning."

"Missed your smile, Luce." he mutters, taking his vest and scarf off, "I really missed that smile." kicking his pants off before getting in the shower and planting soft open mouthed kissed on her neck, "Have I told you I love you lately?"

Running her left hand over his cheek, Lucy whispers "Wouldn't hurt to hear it more...Why are you crying, Natsu?"

Natsu holding her left hand in his left hand, looking at the matching wedding ring set that graces their ring figures replies "Just happy, Luce. Just happy."

"Oh..." Lucy mutters, smiling and leaning into him, "Before I forget, the doctor called." Natsu's eyes go wide as she continues "Twins."

Letting his free hand trail over her stomach, Natsu breaths hard "Twins...we're going to be parents?"

Lucy giggling at his expression, "Don't you remember? You should, I've been pregnant for two months now. Why are you acting so weird, Natsu?"

Natsu now laughing, something that's now quite his normal but still happy, "Yeah.. I remember, Luce. Just..This is a dream. I'll wake up and this will be just a great dream of us. It wont be for long, one day..."

Natsu's dream land fading off and he falls into dreamless sleep with the memory of a dream of having twins that plays in the back of his mind. 'If I ever do have twins with Lucy, I hope there's a boy and girl. Then we can name them after their grandparents, Layla and Igneel...' Natsu thought before Loki's voice rang through the cave. Lucy's body seemed to easily slide from his arms as she yelled in a whisper at her spirit to keep quite since he was still sleeping. Listening to them talk in a whisper for a while, Natsu rolls on to his side and smiles to himself.

"Layla and Igneel Heartfilia Dragneel...Perfect names." Natsu murmurs as he gets up enough to crawl to the tent's entrance Exiting in just his sweatpants, Natsu says "I'm awake."
