We walked home in that comfortable feeling. It was light and happy. When we finally got to Laxus' apartment, he laid me next to him on the bed. I curled myself into his arms and sighed happily.
"Good-night, my love." I kissed him good night.
"Night, my one and only mate."
The night only seemed like five minutes. I woke up alone like normal. Laxus was in the kitchen, already cooking my favorite, chocolate waffles. I walked into the kitchen and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. "Morning, Laxus."
"Morning, Luce."
I walked over and hugged him. "Why are you making my chocolate waffles? What did you do?" I asked suspiciously.
"What? I can't make my wife a lovely breakfast to celebrate our first day of training two years ago?" He smirked.
"Even though it's a stupid reason, it's an excuse to spoil me isn't it?" I asked happily.
"Am I hearing you complain? You know I have a Dragon's hearing." He grinned at me.
"You might be, you might not." I kissed his cheek. "The world will never know."
He blushed and looked away from me. "Good. You're stuck with me, so no complaints. Luce, how about we go talk to the old man today?"
"Are you going to ask him to retire?" I asked tentatively. "That's not right, Laxus. You should just wait for him to give you the position." I scolded him.
"Lucy, he isn't going to be around for much longer..." He said sadly. "I want him to live in comfort his last few years. I don't want him to worry about the guild." He shook his head as though he was trying to rid himself of the thought.
I wrapped my arms around him. "I understand, Laxus. We should go talk to him. This Fantasia Parade could be our last together. I want Ivan to be there, too. Even if he can't part of Fairy Tail. I want him there."
Laxus nodded. "I believe that's fair. I don't know if he'll come, though, but we could try."
We ate in a sad silence and understanding. He had good intentions behind this one. I supported him one-hundred percent. When I finally finished doing the dishes and was just waiting on Laxus, I sat back down and called Loke, Virgo, and Aquarius.
"Finally you called us." Aquarius scowled. "It's about time."
I smiled faintly at her. "Nice to see you, too."
"Punishment time, Princess?" Virgo asked.
"N-no. No, Virgo." I sweat dropped.
"Morning, Princess." Loke smiled and kissed my hand.
"How have you all been doing?" I asked. "I've had a hard time keeping track of everything, lately."
"I'm great, Princess." Virgo and Loke asked.
"How's you and Laxus?" Aquarius asked with a knowing smile. "Have you done it, yet?"
"NO!" I yelled.
She smirked. "You'll have little kids eventually. We all have accepted it except Leo."
Virgo nodded. "Little blonde babies."
Loke shook his head. "I refuse to believe in this-"
"Well believe it!" Laxus yelled, punching Loke in the head.
I stifled a laugh and remained semi-serious. "Laxus! We don't treat our spirits like that! They're friends!"
"You're right! We don't, but this one is just annoyingly stupid!" Laxus yelled as he swung at Loke. "I have to protect my mate!"
Loke managed to dodge this one. "That's it! I'm going back!"
Loke disappeared. I sighed returning the rest of our spirits to the Spirit World. "You heard that conversation then." I leaned against the counter.
"Do you even want to be a mother, Lucy? It's fine if you're afraid. I am too." He leaned against the counter next to me.
"I guess we can try. Or maybe we could adopt…"
He kissed me gently. "Let's go see the old man. We can worry about this later."
I followed him out the door and waited next to him as he locked it. I took his hand as we walked to the guild. He kicked open the door, naturally make our presence known to the guild members present at the moment. Natsu was chatting up Kianna and she was blushing at his words. I smiled at the sight. There you go, Natsu. You've found her. We made our way upstairs and into Master's office.
This one's a bit short, but I hope you liked it! -SFL
