Chapter 3 -

"It's been only a couple hours since little Madelaine's arrival and she is looking so much better than she did back at the orphanage" the old orphanage master said to the old fellow sitting next to her by the bar holding a wooden cane in his lap.

"You shouldn't worry, Fairy Tail has been a home and family to many orphans. Even Natsu himself is an orphan" the old guild master replied while looking at the young Pinkette introducing a younger pinkette to the guild. Madelaine had a big smile on her face, as if she had been a part of this family since she was born. She whizzed past the old lady following Asuka the other child of Fairy Tail.

The entire guild watched the little ones playing around and rejoiced in happiness.

"Hey Natsu, Gray!" Macao called out "Remember when you two use to run around when you were their age!"

"Yeah but they were trying to kill each other!" Wakaba interrupted. Which had the whole guild burst around laughing at the duo. Who started blaming each other for the fights when erza reminded them of how much she beat them!

"Natsu my boy!" Makarov called out to get his attention "Shouldn't you take Madelaine home now, she must be tired from journey from Crocus"

"Yeah, I can't wait to see your home too" the old lady next to him said getting up.

Natsu, Happy, Madelaine and the old lady headed towards Natsu's home. Even Happy was excited to see how much his home had changed. As Happy started flying a little ahead Madelaine started to chase the little bugger who flew around her slowly so she wouldn't hurt herself.

"Careful Madelaine!" the old lady reminded her.

"Don't worry, Happy will make sure she doesn't hurt herself" Natsu said turning to her as they head towards the outer parts of Magnolia. Fairy Tail faded away as they got closer to their home.

"I can't believe I saw cat fly, I guess now I have seen everything" the old lady said walking slowly behind with Natsu.

"Actually Happy is an Exceed from a world called Edolas, I found him when he was just an egg, I guess you can say he was my first child!" Natsu said sounding parent like.

"I am sure you will be a great guardian to young Madelaine" she replied "But I am a little worried" she continued.

"Why?" Natsu asked "Is it because I am still so young?"

"No it's not that, I can see that you have been through some tough times in your life, you have witnessed the pains of life and death but you are a wizard after all" she replied.

He stared at her as if she didn't know what she was talking about, what could he do to make her worries go away, he thought to himself.

"You are a wizard, for which you will have to take on quests and do odd and tough jobs to get by in life. To earn some money so you can take care of your little family. But what is going to happen if something happens to you? Madelaine has already suffered the loss of so many loved ones. And now she is in a strange new world-" Natsu cut her off at this point,

"Life of a mage is tough but don't forget that I am Natsu Dragneel the son of a dragon, I won't let Madelaine be hurt in any way. I will make sure that she has everything that I never did. She will have a family and every ounce of my love. She is not alone in this world, not anymore!" Natsu remarked at the old lady making his promise.

"And what about a mother?" the old lady asked,

"What about a mother?" natsu asked,

"When you go on your jobs, you aren't planning on leaving Madelaine with the blue cat or taking her with you are you?" she looked at him with eyes completely wide.

"No of course not, I am going to have some of my friends at Fairy Tail babysit for the time I am gone, don't worry I have saved a bit of money so I won't be taking any jobs till Madelaine is fully settled in" He replied to her.

"But she will still need a mother, you know"

"Yeah I get what you're saying, the love of a mother is not something someone can easily give"

"Absolutely, when I first saw you I thought you and the red haired woman were married so I wasn't so worried but now I am not so sure" to that Natsu's cheek were a little pink.

"Erza is a powerful wizard and someone who would make a great mother someday, heck I even wondered once what it would be like but she is in love with someone else and I can't do much about that. There is Lucy but she's just weird I doubt she would want to be a mother so early in age." he replied

"Hmmm" the old lady said going into thought.

"But I think whoever I marry, will have to prove that she is capable and willing to be a good mom to Madelaine, and I will marry someone, I won't keep Madelaine empty of a mother's love for too long that I promise." Natsu replied

"Agreed then, don't forget to invite me to your wedding!" the old lady replied with a smile.

"Look We're here!" Happy cried out.

Before them stood a large house made fully of bricks and wood. Natsu with the help of his guild had added another floor and doubled the size of his home. Outside there was a sign saying Natsu, Happy, & Madelaine! After that a walkway leading straight to the door. They had a tree stump out to the left to the house, a place to cut firewood. And on the right was a small training ground for Natsu, a circular pit maid fully of dirt. There were weights and everything for him. Inside the house was the living room, big filled with a couch and comfy chairs, with a big board with Natsu's adventures hanging across the wall. Next to the living room was a big kitchen with a refrigerator and everything. Mirajane had brought over all the equipments necessary for cooking. Natsu had asked Mirajane to teach her how to cook, so he can do more at home. But in the past week everytime she started to teach him he had finished the food before even cooking it. One end of the kitchen held a glass door covering the entire wall, stretching all the way to the dining room, underneath the stairs. Upstairs were three rooms, One for Natsu, One for Madelaine and Happy and the other was for any guests they might have. Natsu had insisted that Happy sleep in that one but Happy was persistent on sharing a room with his new sister of sorts. Above the bedrooms was an attic for Natsu's mementos he brought back from his jobs. Natsu then brought everyone to the back yard where there was a large playing ground for Madelaine, a slide, swings etc. The playground was surrounded by Cherry blossom trees, which came as side decoration with the main view of the city.

Looking around her new home Madelaine was so surprised and happy she didn't have any words for the group just a big smile. Which comforted the three waiting for a reply.

"You know something young man" the old lady said "I think she will be happy here" she said with a bit of relief in her voice.

"Thank you" Natsu replied.

"Okay then but know this I will be dropping by to check on my little monster!" she said as Madelaine came running towards them giving her a hug.

The Next Morning…..

At the train station, Natsu was standing behind Madelaine with Happy on his shoulders. Madelaine hugging her old Guardian was crying, as she didn't want her grandma to go back to Crocus.

"Now now don't cry little one, you are home now, and I have to go back and take care of everyone else, you wouldn't want to see your old grams to go home seeing you cry would you." the old lady said planting a kiss on her gentle forehead.

The little one wiped her tears off as she found a fairy like smile upon her face to brighten the day Everyone waved the old lady off as her train left. The three then made their way outside the train station towards the Guild. Madelaine looked sad holding Natsu's hand as she walked with the duo.

"Hey" Natsu spoke in a soft voice, stopping and turning towards her. He came to her eye level and continued "If you're ever said think and speak of the future, that's what my dad taught me" the girl looked at him with her wide blue eyes. "And always remember no matter how far a guardian is they are always watching over you no matter where you are in the world, and so will I" he ended with a smile on his face.

"Aye!" Happy whispered to both of them as to conceal the vow Natsu made to the little one.

"Umm" Madelaine hesitated.

"What is it, you can tell me anything!" he replied

"Ccccaaan Iiii…" she said resisting even more then before, Natsu turned his head sideways as to catch her lovely eyes.

But she shut them and yelled at the top of her lungs "Can I call you Dad!" Natsu was stunned with his mouth open. The people around her glanced at the three crouching in the middle of the street.

After a minute Natsu nodded with tears running down his face. The little girl saw the response with the peak of her eyes. She smiled and ran into him hugging, as tight as she could with a smile that would make you feel that the world is just right as the way it is and life has some meaning in it.

"Man I never thought I would see the day.." Happy think's with tears of happiness in his eyes as he hugs his family.

Alright guys, that's it for today, I will try my best to get you something tomorrow too. I want to start getting Natsu's life to be more romantic, I may even add another flashback or too. There is one thing I am stuck at though. I need a nickname for Madelaine. I can't think of anything but Maddy. Can you guys help me? If not then I will just keep going with Maddi or little one.

Thx for everything see you tomorrow or in a couple days.
