The guild had finally quieted down since it had become late, Nashi had fallen asleep as well. News of Nashi didn't take long to spread around the guild. In fact, it was what everyone was talking about throughout the day! Natsu fell asleep on the ground after a long battle with Gajeel and Gray, there was no true victory. Mostly taunting, Nashi even joined in, earlier today, she was on Natsu's side and called Gray Ice Princess just like Natsu did, and called Gajeel an Iron freak. Natsu kept patting her and he felt proud for teaching Nashi such things. Lucy had been surround by the gossiping girl of Fairy Tail, they asked all about her and Natsu being a family.
Lucy hadn't thought of it much but her and Natsu were going to live together, because of Nashi. This morning the little girl showed up at Lucy's doorstep and now because of her a lot of things are going to change. She couldn't explain it herself but she felt a close connection to Nashi. She felt her heart open up and flutter everywhere. Almost like how she felt with Natsu, but there was something that was a major difference in both connections.
Nashi had fallen asleep on the floor, curled up next to Natsu. After a getting into many fights with Gajeel and Gray, it was obvious they'd be tired.
"I think it's about time I go home." Lucy said staring off at Nashi and Natsu sleeping on the ground a long with the rest of the guild.
"You make such a cute family." Mira said
"You do!" Lisanna joined in.
"Don't call us that!" Lucy felt sorta embarrassed being called a family. Being with Natsu as a partner is one thing but being with Natsu in a family.
Lucy took at look at how Nashi was curling up to Natsu and Happy on top of both of them. Lucy smiled and thought it was cute. 'It actually wouldn't be that bad...WHAT ARE YOU THINKING LUCY?' She hit herself on the forehead.
Mira and Lisanna saw Lucy hit herself and they both exchanged odd looks.
"Are you okay, Lucy?" Mira asked, and Lisanna looked curious as well.
"HEHE! yea! I'm fine! Well look at the time, it's about time I go home!" Lucy walked quickly to Natsu and Nashi.
"Psst, Natsu, wake up!" Lucy loudly whispered. All Natsu did was mumble a little.
"It's about time to leave Natsu." Lucy continued.
Natsu sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Ohayo~ Lucy!" Natsu said with a lazy smile.
"Ohayo~" Happy mimicked.
"We have to go home." Lucy stated again.
Natsu looked around, "Oh, we're still in the guild."
Lucy picked up Nashi, as Natsu stood up and rubbing his eyes, Happy laid flat on Natsu's head because he was tired.
"Man~! I'm tired!" Natsu yawned, and he swears when he said 'Man' somewhere in the distance he heard Elfman go 'Man!'
"It's about time we get going!" Natsu stretched.
"Yea, it's late." Lucy carried Nashi upright, Nashi laid her head on Lucy's shoulder still snoozing away.
Both of them waved bye to everyone who was left in the guild and walked out.
On the way Natsu asked, "So where are we staying? My place or yours?"
"You know we don't have to stay in the same place, we could just separate here."
Natsu was actually looking forward to staying together with Lucy and Nashi, he hopes drowned here.
"But what about what they said earlier?" Natsu asked.
"They're just weirdos." Lucy stated.
They walked a little further together, and Natsu kept trying to think of reason to stay at Lucy's place.
"But I wanna stay at your place anyways. I always do so can I stay there?" Natsu asked
"Well,"
"I'm actually asking this time, and not barging in, you gotta give me some credit." Natsu said.
"Ugh! Fine!" Lucy said, and from the sound, she was exhausted from the day and didn't feel like arguing with Natsu.
"Yes!" Natsu cheered.
They'd made it to Lucy's place, and Natsu just fell on Lucy's bed.
"Hey! Who said you could sleep on my bed?" Lucy questioned
But before she knew it, snoring from that pink-haired idiot filled the room. Lucy laid Nashi carefully on her bed as well.
"Ugh!" She silently murmured "Now I have to sleep on the floor."
Lucy set blankets on floor next to her bed and got into her pajamas. She entered her bathroom and brushed her teeth while watching herself on the mirror.
'What did I do to deserve this? It's like taking care of two children now!'
She exited her bathroom and walked over to Natsu and Nashi, she just sat on the bed and look at them sleeping. Nashi was curled up against Natsu like she was earlier in the guild, but this time Natsu had his arm around her.
'They'd must of subconsciously did that' Lucy smiled and just watched them, it was one of the cutest things she'd seen. She wanted to be a part of that... Now she wanted to sleep on her bed with them. Ugh! her thoughts are confusing. She cleared her mind and laid down on the other side of Nashi. So Nashi was in the middle, and Natsu and Lucy were on both of her sides. Lucy closed her eyes and fell asleep, a sweet smile spread on her face.
"She looks so comfortable." A manly voice said
"I'd never seen Natsu smile like that while sleeping!" A women's voice was heard
"Mama and Papa look so peaceful." Obviously said Nashi.
"They're in lllllllove!" Obviously said Happy.
Who were these voices Lucy said barely waking up, she'd hadn't even open her eyes. She didn't open her eyes but she felt comfort from the warmth around her. In fact that warmth was more then a usual morning would have. Before she knew it, she began sweating, it was an exaggeration of heat. She opened her eyes and find she was trapped by Natsu's hold. His arms were wrapped around her but she couldn't free herself from his grab. She tilted her head up to find him still asleep. Her cheeks began to turn a shade of pink.
Natsu had never felt more comfortable, he couldn't pin point it himself but he wanted this comfort to last forever. He slowly opened his eyes with a hesitation. Then he realized his arms were wrapped around none other then Lucy. He tilted his head a bit down to find Lucy looking at him, shocked. There faces were centimeters apart, there was an awkward silence. Natsu's cheeks began warm and began turning red, as red as Erza's hair. They both still tried to configure what was exactly going on, when...
"MAMA, PAPA! YOU'RE AWAKE!" Nashi shouted with joy.
They quickly spread apart and went to the farthest sides of the bed as they could. Natsu even fell off, along with the sheets.
"Looks like they're awake." Erza stated.
"Yup, apart from they're lovey dovey moment." Gray emphasized the words lovey dovey.
Happy and Nashi couldn't help but smirk at that remark.
"We're not like that!" Lucy sounded like she was even trying to convience herself.
Natsu just remained dumbfounded on the floor.
"Gray, Erza, what are you doing here?" Lucy asked
"We came to check up on how you both were doing with Nashi." Gray answered.
"And by the looks of it, you guys seemed to be doing fine." Gray made fun of them both.
"Shut up droopy eyes!" Natsu yelled
"Make me!" Gray replied
"GRAY! NATSU!" Erza shouted
"Aye!" They both said in unison.
Nashi was sitting on the bed and saw all that go down, she just giggled a little at how silly they were both being.
"Auntie Erza sure scares Papa and uncle Gray." Nashi let out a statement.
Then Erza realized something.
"Hey Nashi," Erza began
Everyone, especially Nashi put their attention to Erza.
"Back at the guild, when you first entered, how did you know our names?" Erza asked "None of us ever told you."
"Hey, that's right, we never told her and she seemed to know us well." Gray pointed out.
Everyone was confused now. Not only had a random girl came marking Natsu and Lucy as her parents but she known everyone fairly well.
"Auntie Erza, how do you not know me?" Nashi said, "I should be the one asking questions."
"But still, we've never seen you before, not until yesterday." Gray said
"I told you," Nashi pointed at Natsu and Lucy, "They are my Papa and Mama."
Everyone knew they wouldn't get any answers.
Gray and Erza made they're way out.
"If you need us, we'll be at the guild." Erza said and forcefully grabbed Gray.
They both exited out the door.
"I just remembered, Carla wanted me to meet her today for something." Happy zoomed out the window, did Carla really want to meet him or did he want to leave Natsu, Lucy and Nashi alone?
Lucy stood up from the bed and made her way to another room to get dressed.
Natsu just stood up and streched, he didn't change out of his cloth.
Nashi was still on Lucy's bed, she yawned out of boredom.
"Papa, what are we going to do today?" She asked.
"What do you wanted to do?" Natsu asked.
Nashi remained in thought. Then a lightbulb shot form her head.
"Mama, Papa, let's go to the Sakura Tree Park!" Nashi announced.
Lucy walked back from getting dressed. She was wearing her usual tank top that showed her stomach, with a blue heart along the middle. She also wore her blue skirt with a rip on the side that held her curves like a glove. She put her hair up into two low pony tails, and put on long dark-blue socks and brown boots. Along with a sleeveless vest and puff blue and white sleeves.
Natsu hadn't really seen it before but Lucy's body was magnificent, it had the curves in all the right places and what she wore all the time always showed a lot of skin, she showed enough cleavage, enough to make any guy drool.
Natsu caught himself staring at Lucy, like he'd never done before.
"Sooo~" Nashi interupted his thoughts. "Are we going to the Sakura Tree Park?"
"That sounds like a great idea Nashi!" Lucy said.
Natsu, Lucy and Nashi made their way out of the apartment. Nashi grabbed onto Lucy's hand and walked next to her happily. She jumped up and down along the trail. Lucy couldn't help but allow a slight chuckle out, she just thought Nashi was so cute and funny. Nashi reached her hand out so Natsu could grab her other hand. Natsu accepted her request.
They were passing along many busy outdoor markets.
"Aw~ What a cute family." A women pointed out.
This response made Lucy blush, and by the looks that everyone was giving them, they all believed that Natsu, Lucy and Nashi were a family. Lucy was blushing a lot, she wanted to desperately yell out that they weren't a family.
Lucy looked at Natsu who was smiling at Nashi and Nashi was smiling and giggling back at him. It was just too cute. Her troubles were forgotten when she saw them.
They'd made it to the Sakura Tree Park. Lucy had brought a picnic basket along with a blanket to put on the floor. She set everything up.
"You always tell me this is you're favorite place, Mama." Nashi said
"Um, I do?" Lucy said in disbelief.
"Mhm! You always say that Papa did something here that made you fall in love with him?"
"I never said any of that!" Lucy shouted.
Natsu just kept observing them.
"What exactly does Mama say?" Natsu asked, he was a bit curious although he believe Lucy had never said she loved him. It kinda disappointed Natsu.
"Mama said that you went through all the trouble of cutting down a tree and sailing it past her house." Nashi happily stated.
Both Natsu and Lucy remained shocked. How did Nashi know about this? Only Happy, Natsu and Lucy knew this little bit of information.
"Nashi! How do you know that?" Natsu asked.
"Mama, always tells me."
"I swear I never said any of that." Lucy stated.
Natsu remained curious, and continued to ask questions to Nashi.
"Nashi when is your birthday?" Natsu asked
"July 7th"
"What year is this?"
"803x~Er wait, in this case it's year 792x"
"Once last thing, When were you born?"
"The year 797x"
Natsu and Lucy remained shocked. Those years hadn't even past.
"Nashi we are in the year 792x, how could you have possibly been born on that year."
Nashi looked as though she was hiding something.
"Mama, Papa, I'm sorry, I broke you're rule about the magic."
Natsu and Lucy looked confused and dumbfounded.
"What?" Lucy said.
"I learned time magic, from that guy you, both told me to never talk to."
"Nashi, we're confused here, we never said anything like that." Lucy confirmed
"Yea, but my time Mama and Papa did."
