Hello my amazingly patient and understanding readers! I am sooo sorry for the delay, but like I said in the last chapter the island I live on had just been devastated by a storm and was on the road to recovery. I am glad to say we are now more or less recovered and my family, after nearly four months of no power, finally has power. With that I was able to finally finish another chapter! I really am sorry for keeping you guys waiting, but hey I tried to make it up to you guys by making sure this chapter was a good one! Now I must warn you, I am a very hard shipper of a lot of couples in Fairy Tail and I'm sure you'll see what I mean once you read the chapter! Well now that that has been said and done I am very proud to present the latest chapter of Let's Play Mommy and Daddy!

On a Side Note:

I, Mavis Reed, do not own any of the members or the story of Fairy Tail. All rights are reserved for Hiro Mashima-sama! The plot of the story does belong to me though!

"Erza!" cried Lucy, "what did you do?"

Erza's eyes sparkled, "I assisted you by explaining it to everyone and calmed them down."

Lucy and Levy face palmed as Natsu hollered at the Guild, "HA! You all got beat up by Erza! HA HA!"

Soon Natsu was one of those passed out on the floor and the rest of them sat at a table waiting for everyone else to gain consciousness.

Lucy's POV

After a while everyone started to recover from Erza's attempt to "prepare" everyone for when we enter the guild. Everyone wanted to approach us but Erza's aura made it clear that they shouldn't dare. Not surprisingly Wendy and Carla were one of the first to regain consciousness. I had Sting on my lap drinking from his milk bottle while Rogue was asleep in Levy's arms.

"I did not know such a thing existed," Wendy said as she stroked Rogue's head, "a potion that could make people turn into babies."

"It is something that it definitely frightening," said Carla, "if it fell into the wrong hands it could remove some very important people from their positions like the Council members or even the royal family."

"We do not need to worry about that though," I said, "Happy accidentally spilled the entire bottle, and it was originally from another country. I do not think there are any more of it in Fiore."

Erza nodded her head, "Now, that leads us with the matter of what to do while we wait for Sabertooth to find the Mirror of Truth."

"I suggest the two pairs take the children home," Mirajane said with a dangerous spark in her eyes and Erza nodded, "it is getting late and children should be in bed at this hour. Lucy, you and Natsu take Sting back to your place. Levy you and Rogue will stay at Gajeel's place for a while since males are not allowed at Fairy Hills."

I expected this much and nodded. Levy though was incredibly flustered, "Eeeh! I'll be staying at Gajeel's place?"

"Yah got a problem with that shrimp?" grunted Gajeel and Levy blushed, "I-I didn't mean it that way! I just, never stayed over at a guy's house before."

Erza patted her on the back, "You'll be completely safe there Levy, I know Gajeel wouldn't do anything to harm you at his house." Erza smiled at Gajeel and he swallowed hard, "O-of course."

Mirajane clapped her hands, "Well now that that's settled I should go get the children some appropriate clothing! Laxus will you accompany me?"

Laxus rose from his seat and offered his hands towards her. As she accepted his gesture she turned back towards me, "We'll stop by your places in the morning to drop of our finds alright?" Mirajane waved and she and Laxus left the Guild.

"She seemed to be a little excited don't you agree?" said Lector and I nodded.

"Mira-nee has the biggest soft spot for children," said Lisanna as she walked up to us, "I'm surprised she hasn't asked Laxus for a child of their own yet." Mirajane and Laxus' relationship was a big accomplishment for the Guild and everyone was glad the two of them got together.

Lisanna turned to me and held out her arms, "Lucy do you mind if I hold Sting for a while? I actually really love babies too and it's been a while since I held one!"

"Uh sure" I told her and carefully handed Sting over. The moment I let Sting go though he erupted into tears in Lisanna arms. "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" Sting cried and thrashed in her arms. He then jumped right out of her arms to run towards me. I knelt down to scoop him up, "Hey what's wrong?" he continued to cry until I rocked him a few times to calm him down. When his tears ceased, I smiled at him.

I noticed the Guild had gone silent. I turned to see everyone facing me and I could feel my face heat up.

"HE CALLED HER MOMMY!" the Guild erupted into a frenzy. The women were squealing about how cute that was and the men commented on how lucky Sting was to be babied by me. They were about to come closer till they heard the CLANK of Erza's sword. "Don't you think we should all settle down? We must be scaring the children." Everyone immediately began sweating bullets until Erza put her sword away.

I was a bit shocked at Sting's response as well till Levy spoke, "It's not surprising that they think we are their parents. I mean we are the ones taking care of them right now." I nodded and looked at Sting as he gave me a big smile, "Mommy!" I began to feel warm and thought to myself, I do not mind being his mother for just a while.

Lisanna giggled at the sight and called out to Natsu, "Natsu, don't give Lucy a hard time taking care of Sting alright? I do remember you made me do most of the work when we were raising Happy!"

Natsu pouted, "Not true! I helped out a lot right happy?"

Happy flew off and landed on Natsu's head "Aye sir!" Lisanna giggled some more and brushed Sting's hair, "It's not hard to think that this little boy is your child Lucy."

I smiled, "I've heard that before." We both smiled at each other and Erza cleared her throat. "Before you guys leave, I want to remind you to be cautious. You were attacked by members of Guitar Snake not once, but twice now. You have very young mages with you now who cannot defend themselves, you must protect them at all costs."

Natsu, Levy, Gajeel, and I nodded. By the time we left the entire Guild knew about the situation and Erza made sure no one gave us a hard time.

Walking back to the apartment with Sting proved be to not much of a challenge as I first thought it would be. Natsu, Happy, and Lector followed along after we left the Guild.

"Are you sure you don't need help there Lucy?" Natsu asked me and I shook my head, "He's actually not that heavy, besides were here."

We walked up to the steps of the building of my apartment and Natsu opened the door for me. Sure enough the Landlady caused a big fuss and it took a lot of explaining (and Natsu shouting) to get things straightened out. Once we were finally in Natsu plopped down on the bed and yawned, "Man what a day!"

I nodded my head and placed a drowsy little Sting next to him. Lector climbed up unto the bed and sat next to Sting, "You've got a pretty cozy home here Lucy-san and Natsu-san."

"This is just Lucy's house" Happy said with a mouthful of fish as he sat on top of nightstand near my bed, "Natsu and I have a place of our own."

"Eeh! But Natsu-san looks so at home here!" Lector explained as he stared at the now sleeping Natsu.

"Those two are always here despite claiming to have their own place to stay" I said as I opened the parenting book Levy and I picked up at the Market on the way to Magnolia. I reached the section for 'bed-time' and skimmed through the contents. "Right, so the first thing we should do before he goes to bed is to give him a bath." I picked him up and made my way towards the bathroom. Sting didn't have any objections as I striped his shirt off and was about to unbutton his pants when a fully awake Natsu came running in, "Wait Lucy!"

"What?"

"Sting's a guy!"

It suddenly dawned to me that I was stripping a guy, even if he was a very young one, a guy was a guy. Embarrassed, I carried Sting and handed him over to Natsu, "Y-you bathe him them."

He chuckled at my flushed face, "Yeah sure." Natsu took Sting back into the bath and I went to go get ready to take a bath after them. A few minutes later I heard a loud THUD coming from the bathroom and rushed in. "Natsu! Sting! Are you okay?!" I found the two sitting in the tub while throwing my various soaps and shampoos towards each other.

"Take that!" laughed Natsu as he hurled my lavender shampoo towards Sting. He dodged and threw the same shampoo back at him, "Take that!" he mimicked and laughed as well. I placed my hand on my face and immediately regretted it. Sting threw my cherry blossom soap at me and I was left with suds in my hair.

They both laughed and I couldn't help but laugh with them. Soon enough bath time was over and Natsu dressed Sting in the pajamas we got before reaching my apartment. "Eeh Natsu-san you're actually pretty good with children aren't you?" Lector commented.

Natsu chuckled, "Well yeah I did have to take care of Happy so I know the basics."

My heart grew warm at the sight of the two of them and I left them to take a bath. While in the shower I couldn't help think of how amazing of a dad Natsu would become. The thought settled well with me and I even dared to think that maybe, if Natsu had a child with together...

I slapped myself out of my daydream, Knock yourself out Lucy! Natsu's your partner! You cannot date him! It could jeopardize the team! Still, even after telling myself that, I cannot help but think of a life together with Natsu, we've been together all this time so it didn't surprise me when I finally admitted to myself that I saw Natsu as more than just my nakama. I just don't know if he felt the same way about me.

His voice snapped me out of my thoughts, "Are you okay Luce?"

I got off from the bath and grabbed my towel, "Yes I'll be out in a minute!" Once I dried and dress myself I got out of the bathroom to find Sting ready to greet me.

"Mommy!" he stretched out his arms wanting me to carry him. "Hi there Sting" I said as I picked him up and plopped him unto the bed, "bed time!" He slowly yawned and went under the blanket and encouraged me to do the same. I chucked as I climbed in after him and laid at his side. Natsu rose and made his way to the couch till Sting called for him, "Daddy!"

Natsu stopped into his tracks and I gasped a bit, "Daddy!" Sting repeated and Natsu turned, "Are you talking to me?" Sting nodded and patted to the empty side of the bed, "Bed time!" Natsu and I's faces were obviously red at Sting's request and the two Exceed in the room began to taunt us.

"Ooooh I think Sting wants mommy and daddy to sleep together with him!" said Happy and Lector agreed, "Yes, yes I think that's exactly what Sting wants."

Natsu scratched the back of his head, "I don't mind, do you Luce?"

I looked at Sting's smiling face, then at Natsu and since my face couldn't turn any shade redder I nodded, "I don't mind at all."

Natsu climbed unto the other side of the bed and we both placed a hand on Sting's head, "Good night" we both told him and he soon was fast asleep. Natsu and I looked at each other and sighed, "He's a little demanding isn't he?" he said. I giggled, "Yes, but I don't see why he shouldn't be spoiled a little. I mean he did grow up by himself before and after he met his dragon right?"

He nodded his head, "Just like me." I frowned, I forgot that Natsu grew up the same way and felt guilty for saying it out loud, but he didn't seem to mind. "I promise though I'll act like a dad he would want!" he yawned and soon was fast asleep as well.

I smiled and place my hand on top of his and Sting's belly. The two exceed climbed unto the bed as well and made themselves comfortable at the foot of the bed. "Natsu-san's really nice. You're so lucky to have him Lucy-san!" Lector mentioned.

My face flushed once again and Happy rolled his tongue, "You liiiiiiiike him~"

"I do not –!" I began to stay but Natsu's snore interrupted me. I sighed and smiled, "Actually, I think I really do like him." Saying that made me feel a lot lighter and soon I was asleep too.

What do you guys think! Please tell me about it in a review! Also I will make sure to return to a regular monthly update. Since it is the Christmas season I will be very busy so I hope you all will continue to be understanding!
