Erza P.O.V

My armor clanked as I walked into the guild hall of Fairy Tail. I looked around for Natsu and Gray, quickly spotting them at the bar. They both looked depressed and had Mira's strawberry smoothies in their hands as they hunched themselves over the bar.

"What's wrong with you two?" I asked.

"She went to go see him with Laxus." Gray replied.

"Who?" I pressed.

"Ivan Dreyar." Natsu answered.

I felt the anger make my blood boil at that name. "Did anyone tell Master?"

"Erza, we can't upset Master." Mira said softly.

"He needs to know that they are going there!" I slammed my fist against the counter. "He's the only one who can stop him from taking Laxus and Lucy, too!"

"What is all this yelling for?! It's only seven in the morning!" The Master yelled from the second floor.

"Master! Laxus and Lucy went to Raven Tail!" I blurted out in rage. I knew Master would not take this well. Ivan, his own son, put Fairy Tail at risk along with Lucy and her mother. We all heard the stories of what he had done after Layla's death. I didn't think he would endanger his own team like that.

It was eight years ago, or that's how the story went, that Layla and Ivan were on a dangerous SS-Class mission and Layla was poisoned. Ivan had the cure and refused to give it to her. He let her die as she got sicker and sicker. She died because of him. It was his fault. Her death drove him mad. He attacked the guild and made master make the hardest decision of his life. Ivan was excommunicated.

Master was shaking with pure rage. "First Layla, now Lucy and Laxus. I will not stand for this!" He shouted and stomped out of the guild hall. I followed after him, knowing he would need back-up. Natsu and Gray followed me.

"We need to save them." We all mumbled after him.

Laxus P.O.V.

Lucy was in my arms, crying. She was happy that her mother was alive and to hear she was sorry for deceiving her all these years. I was happy to see my mother figure, too. Lucy was family, most importantly, she was my family. She started going by Lucy Dreyar which made both Dad and Layla happy. We even talked about having Dad walk Lucy down the aisle if we decide to get married. But Lucy was crying for different reasons.

Dad wanted her to join Raven Tail.

She told him she found the guild she belonged in and wasn't ever going to leave it unless I left it, too. I told him a flat out no. He needed to know we were happy. She need to know that he was not who she thought he was.

He told us to take the night to think about it. She didn't know how else to cope with everything, so she cried. When she fell asleep, I kissed her forehead and laid her in the bed. I took a quick shower and changed into some shorts. When I got back in the room we were staying in, she was awake.

"Hey."

"Feeling better?" I sat next to her. "You know he just wants our family to be whole again."

"My mind is made up. I'm staying in Fairy Tail with or without you." She said sternly.

"I never said I would leave Fairy Tail." I smiled. "Lucy, let's get married. At Fairy Tail, as Fairy Tail wizards."

She blushed ten shades of red. "Yeah."

She's still so innocent, blushing all the time, at every loving thing I say and do. "Lucy," I kissed her forehead and crash landed on the bed making her squeal as she bounced from the impact.

"Tomorrow, let's go home. I want them to come home, too. I know you said Ivan was banned from Fairy Tail but he is still family." She said stubbornly. "It may be selfish but I want our family to be complete."

"It's not selfish at all." I pulled her down, so that she was now laying in my arms.

The door opened and Dad stepped in, making me bolt up and stand in front of Lucy. "Lucy, why not join our family, we can be whole again."

"No, we wouldn't. Gramps wouldn't be there. Laxus is going to succeed Gramps as guild master and let you back in the guild, right Laxus? And them Mom can come back, too. I know you two are the best of friends. It'd be stupid to separate you two."

"Gramps won't let me take over the guild, Luce. For that very reason of letting him back in." I stated sadly.

"Then join our family. I'm sure you two would fit in well here." Dad said smoothly.

"We'll pass." Lucy and I said in unison.

"We were taught to carry the Mavis' light in our hearts." She continued.

"You finally learn that your mother is alive and you'll pass?" Dad said, completely shocked.

"Yep, I grew up because she gave me a starting push to fight for what I believe in and that no one can take my happiness from me. I know where I belong and it's with my Fairy Tail family. It's with Laxus, Mira, Erza, and Gramps. And if he were here, he'd bring me and Laxus home. He would bring you home, too. You may have made mistakes but you are still family, Ivan. You were a father to me. You used to pick me up and make me smile when I missed Mom. You still are a father to me."

Did you cry? Did you laugh? Let me know how you felt while reading this! -SFL
