~PREVIOUSLY ON THE LAST CHAPTER~
He needed to ask Lucy to take Yukino around and ask about that. Maybe she'll help and will help her as much as he's helping her now.
"Hey, Lucy, let me talk to you for a second,"
It was the last day Sting, Rogue, and Laxus were staying at the Dragneel's and Yukino was going home with them. After last night's dinner disaster Grandine thought it was the least she could do by letting the horrified white-haired woman stay.
It wasn't played exactly how she planned the dinner just because her idiotic son and nephew were 'arch-rivals' somehow like his little friend Gray, they just had to do a food fight. And her idiotic son just thought it was the best idea to 'accidently' throw a plate of spaghetti down his pregnant wife's dress. Of course that was the end of the food fight after Lucy flipped the whole dining table over (Luckily they decided to eat at a small regular table) along with the food causing the pink Dragneel and blonde Eucliffe to run away in fear, the blonde Heartfillia chasing them all around the house with a fork in her hands screaming, "I'm going to kill you!"
Now, Grandine made sure breakfast was perfect for them to allow Yukino to calm down after last night's fiasco, Sting having his right cheek swollen and Natsu having his whole body aching along with a bruise right above his left cheek. Lucy was humming some happy tune and the others seemed calm so far.
At least they were leaving today.
"So, what time are you guys leaving today?" Lucy asked, looking at Sting who flinched when he heard her voice. He poked his pancakes and gave her a shrug, making sure not to make eye-contact. "Maybe after breakfast."
"I see, well, what about you Laxus?"
"Got to go right after breakfast, I have my lady waiting at home." Laxus said as he shoved egg inside his mouth, Lucy nodding. They have found out just last night Laxus has been married for almost 2 years – to some woman named Cana. And of course the whole family freaked out but that was the only thing he said before he remained eating his dinner. He didn't like talking a lot about his family, as it seems and Lucy respected that. She just made sure that he'll bring her to meet her. "Maybe we could have Gray and them over for today so we can finish the baby crib."
"Sure, that's a great idea, Natsu!"
"I'll call them once breakfast is over,"
"And I'll get ready for them to come over." Natsu nodded and got his third serving of eggs and bacon, squirting some ketchup on his plate to once again eat his food.
Another comfortable silence lingered in the air, the sounds of forks clanking against the plates or cups being set down on the table. Small conversations were held time to time and Grandine thought it was much better than last night. Lucy better keep her son at bay before the baby is born. Grandine was making sure he was going to stay away from her granddaughter if he continues to act like this.
And she means it.

"Oh Yukino, it was nice seeing you again, come again with Sting sometimes!" Lucy grabbed her friend's hand, smiling sweetly as she pulled her near. Yukino smiled sweetly and nervously laughed, agreeing to her little plan. She glanced over at her boyfriend and saw that he was getting kisses from Grandine, the blonde haired guy groaning and whining about no more but Grandine insists on kissing every inch of his face because she doesn't see him so much. Rogue and Laxus were next and they were slowly inching back towards the door, Natsu laughing his ass off somewhere in the back while Igneel tried prying his wife off his nephew but failed.
Yukino looked back at the pregnant blonde and noticed she was smiling brightly, causing her to smile back. "Yes, of course, Lucy-Sama."
"Please, my name is Lucy. And come back and meet our soon-to-be born, Nashi, alright?"
"Of course, I'll be back with Sting." Lucy sighed as she shook her head. Sting still hasn't proposed and Lucy had a big urge to kick him and yell at him to man-up but he never did. He better be engaged to Yukino by the time they're back or else Lucy was sure she was going to kick Sting to the next town. "Good and you better be back with good news!"
"Good news—"
"Ah, Yukino, it was such a pleasure meeting you!" Grandine got in-between the two women, giving the white-haired woman a hard squeeze. She pulled away and looked into her hazel eyes, grinning. "Thank you so much for coming and so sorry for yesterday night's . . . events. My son and nephew are a bit stupid."
"Hey—!"
"Mom—!"
"She's right, you know."
"Shut the hell up, old man!"
"I'm your father!"
"Shut up both of you!"
"Don't speak to your elder like that!" Igneel, Natsu, and Sting started to bicker, Grandine sighing once more. "See what I mean? They all can't be like Rogue-Kun." Grandine flashed Rogue a grin which he nodded to, Laxus looking oh so bored. Yukino sweat-dropped and nodded, trying to act polite. "But they're all nice so no worries." Lucy budded in, Grandine glancing at her than back at the woman. Yukino nervously glanced at her boyfriend fighting with the others and back at the two women smiling at her, eventually giggling and agreeing with them. She wonders how Grandine and Lucy were so sane living in this house hold.
"Come back soon, Yukio-San!" Wendy squeaked, grinning at her while Yukino bent down to her size to pat her head. "Sure will, stay healthy."
"Yes ma'am!"
"Alright, let's get going. I'm tired," Laxus grunted, his fingers pinching the bridge of his nose and Rogue looked around the place trying to look like he was interested. Yukino cringed at the sound of glass breaking and she peeked over the blue-haired mother's woman, seeing a red-haired man and a pink-haired man both frozen in spot as her boyfriend was staring wide-eyed at the broken vase on the floor. The three looked horrified. "My vase!"
"My flowers!"
"Oh, look at the time—we got to go." Sting looked at his empty wrist, running over to Yukino to grab her arm and speed-walk towards the door. "Natsu Dragneel!"
"Igneel Dragneel!"
"Sting, get back here!"
"Bye! Let's go," Sting hissed, shoving Rogue and Yukino along with them as Laxus followed by. They slammed the door closed and Natsu gulped along with his father.
The two reckless Dragneel were in a hell lot of trouble.
"You're an idiot."
"I know."
"And you broke the vase with my favorite flowers in them."
"I'll buy you new ones."
"But I liked those."
"I'm sorry."
"You're buying me new ones tomorrow."
"Okay."
"And new shoes."
"Fine,"
"Maybe a new outfit too."
"Would you like a new castle too?"
"Yes, with pink and sparkles everywhere."
"As you say."
"I love you," And with those simple words he would kiss her senseless. "I love you more."
