The coffee shop was busy by the time Natsu and Lisanna got there, but they didn't mind the wait.

"You never told me exactly what happened? are you up for talking about it?" Lisanna asked Natsu curious about exactly how Lucy died. Natsu paused thinking about the right words to say.

"Well, as you know, we went to fight Collen, because he wanted to get my daughter's special magic" Natsu started but the thought was too painful to bare.

"It's okay you don't have to tell me now if you're not ready," Lisanna said putting her soft white hand on top of Lisanna thought hitting herself that she even brought up Lucy's death. Natsu was going to say something, but was interrupted when the hostess called,

"Dragneel party of two", and silently Natsu and Lisanna followed the hostess to the back of the restaurant, to a small table by a bright window, overlooking the street.

"Thank you" Lisanna said to the hostess taking a seat in one of the two wooden chairs by the table. Lisanna picked up the menu and debated what she wanted until she was interrupted by the waiter who asked.

"What can I get you to drink?" Lisanna paused for a second, taking all the chaos in, and then with a smile she replied.

"Water for me Thank you"

"And I would like the same" Natsu said putting down his menu, Lisanna turned her attention to the rain falling outside. 'It looks like the day when I first meet Natsu' Lisanna thought. She was so caught up in thought that she hadn't realized that the waiter had brought her water, until she looked up to say something and almost knocked her glass over.

"Remember when we were kids and how we used to play house," Lisanna said catching her drink before it spilt.

"Yeah how one time you asked if you could be my wife, how can I forget?" Natsu said excited for the change of topic.

"Really? I was hoping you had forgotten" Lisanna said blushing in embarrassment.

"Of course if only we hadn't missed our time" Natsu said without realizing it.

"Is there such a thing?" Lisanna questioned taking a long sip of her water, her heart pumping faster and faster as she waited for Natsu to say something, anything. Natsu on the other hand didn't know what to feel. He didn't know if he should be angry or sad, happy or what. Natsu also thought 'is it wrong if he fell in love with Lisanna all over again?'

Lisanna got tired of waiting for Natsu to respond, so she decided to break the awkward silence again. "Look Natsu I understand if you need time and that is what to be expected, but at the end of the day you can follow your mind but you have to listen to your heart" Lisanna said looking into Natsu's black eyes for any speck of emotion. Natsu smiled, about to speak, getting nervous Lisanna quickly hid her face behind the menu, and hurriedly said "you know what , never mind I don't want to know, maybe you are right and we missed our time. "

Natsu pulled down the menu that was blocking Lisanna's face. "You know the two years you were gone in Edolas, the world seemed to have stopped, I thought you were dead, and when I found out that you really hadn't died I became over whelmed with joy, Happy and I both. You hold a very special place in my heart, and even to this day I could never bare the thought of losing you again. However there is truth to the words you speak, and I don't know if it's the right time or if there will ever be the right time." Natsu said sincerely. Lisanna smiled at Natsu every worry in her mind disappeared, and there was nothing else Natsu could have said to make what he just said any more perfect.

Meanwhile

"What's taking Natsu so long" Gray grumble pacing around the house.

"Calm down Gray, Natsu lost his wife a year ago, he needs time to say good-bye" Julvia said going through the cabinets to find something for lunch.

"How much time does it take to say good-bye, it's not like Lucy's death was yesterday?" Gray complained, flopping down on a stole in the kitchen.

"Gray I swear sometimes I don't understand how you can be so cold hearted to your best friend." Julvia said picking out a can of roman.

"Were not best friends" Gray defended crossing his arms a crossed his chest. 'Men I swear, sometimes they never grow up!' Julvia thought turning on the stove to heat the soup. 'And his clothes!' Julvia thought. It pained her to no end that Gray kept on forgetting his clothes, what type of role model is he playing for their son.

"Gray, can you just do me a favor and put some clothes on," Julvia said frustrated, putting the can of soup in the pot. All of a sudden Julvia heard the door opening and went out into the living room to see who it was.

"Thank you Julvia" Natsu said to her walking through the door of his home. Julvia smiled sympathetically and said.

"Oh my pleasure, Akahana and Cameron had an excellent time together" Julvia said as Natsu closed the door behind him. "Oh let me get Cameron and Gray and we will be on our way."

"Of course" Natsu smiled tiredly from a long and emotional draining, he walked down the hall after Julvia and into his bedroom to hang up his coat.

"Daddy!" Akahana said running into his bedroom giving Natsu a big hug.

"Lets go say good-bye to our guest." Natsu suggested picking Akahana, and carrying her into the living room, where Gray, Julvia, and Cameron were bickering about god knows what, causing Natsu and Akahana to laugh.

"Bye" Akahana said jumping down from Natsu's arms and giving each of them a hug.

"Thank you again for coming" Natsu said giving them each a hug good-bye as well.

"No problem" Gray replied hurriedly to the door.

"If you need anything don't be hesitant to call" Julvia said following Gray out the door.

"Of course" Natsu said shutting the door behind Julvia.

Somewhere in Fiore

"we should attack and get the girl soon" A guy said hidden in the shadows.

"No we should let sometime pass, give them a false sense of security, we should wait till the girls thirteenth birthday." Another guy in a cloak said whipping around to face the person in the shadows.

"Oh I see master very well thought out, and by then, her daughter will have no choice but to obey if she wants to see you know who" the guy in the shadows said ominously.

"if that is all, you may go" The cloaked man said to the guy in the shadows.

"Very well master" the guy in the shadows said bowing out, and swiftly turned for the door leaving the cloaked man, alone. Well with the exception of a prisoner.
