When he got home it was already night time. Of course he had gone the long route to his house, what can he say he had to think. He didn't know how to find the guy that Lucy was promised to. 'I don't even know what his damn name was. I think it started with a c. I guess I'll have to ask Lucy again.' he thought as he came to the back door. He paused to gather his nerves.
"Natsu you okay?" Happy asked. Apparently the talking cat had followed him after he ran out of the guild.
"Yeah I fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Well it's not like I have much of a choice. I need to be strong for them." Taking a deep breathe he open the door to see Lucy and their daughter in the kitchen, Nashi looked like she just had applesauce smeared all over the bottom part of her face while Lucy was gently wiping Nashi's mess away. The two females turned to look who had open the door only to see him. Nashi held out her hands signaling for him to pick her up which he gladly complied to.
"Hey what took you so long getting home? Usually you're home long before nightfall."
"I know I'm a little late but I had some thinking to do. There's also something I need to tell, but that will wait later when we have time for ourselves. Right now we should just have supper like we usually do." He said while putting the child back down into her seat and grabbing a plate and staking it full of food, which was spaghetti and meatballs, and sat down next to Nashi and started eating. Lucy was getting really worried now because he was eating with manners, she could never get him to eat right. After dinner Natsu, Lucy, Happy, and Nashi retired to the living room where Natsu, Lucy and Happy were down on the floor playing with Nashi. After almost an hour Nashi finally nodded off and Lucy and Natsu took her to her room with Happy following. Putting her in the crib with the flying cat they the door and went to their bedroom. Natsu aloud Lucy to go in first then followed her in the room closing the door behind him. They sat down on the bed facing each other.
"So what was that you needed to tell me?" She said taking his hands into hers
"I really don't know how to tell you it happen so suddenly. Okay you remember me telling you about Lis going on a mission with her siblings?" She nodded.
"Well something went terribly wrong while trying to subdue a monster. Elfman, Lisanna's older brother tried to do a full-body take over the beast but I guess the creature's will was stronger than they thought. So he went on a rampage, and started to destroy everything in his path. Mirajane had been ruffed up trying to stop him so Lis I guess tried to talk him, to bring him back. That would be something she would have done."
"I hear a but coming in this story."
"There is she tried to talk to him but he was too far gone. He hit her, hard... (sigh)...Lucy what I'm trying to tell is that Lisanna is dead." He said with pain clearly present in his voice. She blinked once then twice.
"What do mean?" She said not believing that he said that.
"I mean just that, when Elfman hit her, she died. I just found out this morning that was why I was so late. After Mira told me what happen I ran out and went to a place that me and Lis would play all the time." He got up not able to stand the pain anymore, and he didn't want her to see his tears. She sat there for few minutes digesting the horrible news. She was crying and needed a hug so she got and went into his arms. The two cried for their lost friend, they stayed like that for a five minutes till she leaned back and looked up at his charcoal colored eyes, seeing the pain, the anger, and some fear. She reached up and wiped away a stray tear, she felt sorry for him. This man had just lost his first best friend and at such a young age, she was surprised that he was taking it the way he was.
"I'm so sorry Natsu, I know she was one of your first friends when you came to Fariytail. No one should have to go through this, but you know always got me, Nashi and Happy here, and don't forget you have the whole guild that will be there for you, so don't be afraid to shed your tears. It makes you more of a man if you show that you care very much for her, she will always be with us in spirit. Okay?" She said while rubbing his back. All he could do was share at her. Here was a girl that had just lost her only friend, and she was saying sorry to him for losing his best friend.
"I don't what I would have gone without entering my life. I'm surprised that you aren't completely sobbing uncontrollably."
"Oh it's taking all my strength to not do that, but I just thing that she's in a better place now where there is no pain or suffering and it keeps me from losing it all."
"You know she once told me that woman like to hear that they are loved and that I should tell you that more often."
"Well she was right we do like hearing it, but I know you love me. You show me your love though action rather than words and that's good enough for me.
"Yeah but you of all people deserve to hear the words so Lucy Heartphilia I love you with everything in my heart. I love that you ran away for that bastard of a father of yours. I love that you came back to me. I love that you were the mother of my child and I hope the mother of many more in the future. I love that even though I don't say anything you always know when something is wrong, you try to make it better even if it's just one of your beautiful smiles or your magical shoulder rubs. I will always cherish though moments and I will always cherish you and Nashi and any other child we have because if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be the man I am now, and for that I am forever grateful." He said while looking into her eyes lovingly. She was absolutely sobbing now, it was the most beautiful thing anybody has ever said to her. She couldn't believe that he had said all that.
"Natsu you know when I first saw you walk though those doors almost a year ago at that pub I knew there was something special about you. You had this warmth that made you look so charming and open to people it's a wonder that all the girls there weren't trying to fight over you. You are a great father to Nashi, she is very lucky to be given a dad like you. You are the best thing that ever happen to me, and I don't know how I'm ever going to repay you."
"That one's easy, stay by my side forever."
"I think I can do that but you going have to marry me at some point. Why because I want one."
"I'll get right on that."
"You better."
"I also got to ask you. Lisanna's funeral will probably be in a few days, a week at most. I was wondering if you want to go to it. I'm sure she would be have appreciated it."
"Of course I was. I can't let you go there by yourself, who knows what trouble you'll get into."
"Hey I'm not that bad."
"Yes you are, but that is one part of you I love the most. Now let's go to bed, we've had a very emotional evening and I'm completely drained." She said as she broke away from him. They both changed into their night clothes and went to sleep.
