Here we go, as usual I do not own fairy tail. I just own the characters I have created. Sorry for the wait.

"She knows who you are?" Nashi asked Ryouga in a confused tone. Ryo was still staring at the Dragneel siblings mother . Her big brown eyes were full of love and worry, just like how his father described them, however instead of worry there was wonder and kindness. She smelled exactly how he described her as well; strawberries and cream. He couldn't believe she was standing in front of him .

Roy had so many questions to ask and yet he couldn't find the Silence finally broke. "Ryo...my, you look so much like your father...". Lucy said in a soft tone. The Dragneel siblings were still confused with what was happening in front of them. However, they stayed silent to figure out what was going on. "Mom? Is it really you? Or am I just dreaming?" Ryo asked with an overwhelmed tone.

"Yes Ryo it's me. Oh my gosh this is going to get so complicated to explain to you" Lucy responded. As soon as she was about to continue she was int erupted by the yawning of her husband about he made his way down the stairs to retrieve his usual 5 am snack.

"Hey luce, do we have any cookies left?" Natsu asked, not realizing he had to unknown guests in his house. "Um mm mm yeah, top shelf on the right". Lucy responded calmly.

Ash couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. This total stranger is in his house calling his mom, mom. And now his own father is not paying attention to the elephant in the room. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME! YOU OLD MAN! HOW DO YOU NOT SEE THERE ARE TWO STRANGERS IN OUR LIVING ROOM AND NOT QUESTION THEIR RELATION TO MOM?!" Ash yelled as his father stared at him blankly. Natsu looked at the young female and male that were polar opposites to his own children. He finally realized who they were with the intense eye contact between Lucy and the blonde punk. Natsu face grew serious. He knew what this situation meant. He found her.

Natsu did not reply to his son but instead went over and stood behind his wife in a protective manner.

"Ash, Nashi. What I am about to say is a complicated story that happened one year before Ashton's birth. So you have to listen carefully". The older Dragneel siblings nodded at what their mother said and stayed silent to listen and understand what she was about to explain.

" As you both know, me and your father were partners and best friends before we started dating, everyone wanted us together. But before we ever looked each other with the love we have now, I was dating Sting Eucliffe, Ryo's father. We dated for a long time but our relationship was a bit complicated since he was from saber tooth... We tried to maintain our relationship a secret, and it worked. But it didn't last. We grew apart, and I was realizing I was in love with Natsu , we ended on good terms and I ended up with Nastu. However 11 months before I got pregnant with Ashton. I had Ryo. Ryouga was my secret with Sting. Ryouga was my life, my little . I couldn't leave him or keep him hidden from fairy tail and especially Nastu. So I came clean to Nastu, I told him I couldn't leave my baby behind and that if he didn't accept it then I understood...but Nastu being Natsu, he just laughed and told me that I was an idiot for keeping a secret from him that was this important. He told me he didn't care that Ryouga wasn't his child,he would still raise him as his own. However, sting wasn't having any of that. He argued and argued with me about which parent got full custody of Ryo. He told me he would never forgive me if I took his only son and family away from him. He made me feel so guilty about taking you away Ryo that I gave in. And I have regretted that decision everyday of my life". Lucy finished whilst Natsu had his arm over her comforting his wife as she confessed her mistake to her two sons and daughter.

"There wasn't a day where I didn't regret leaving you behind. I shouldn't have left you behind due to guilt, but I didn't want you to grow up not knowing who your real father was". Lucy could feel the tears trying to escape and she couldn't help but let them free as the face of her long lost son was full of pain.

"But I still lost a mother" whispered. Ash finally looked at Ryo and couldn't help but feel bad as if it was his fault that he wasn't raised by his mother. All those years where Ash was being smothered by his mothers love, Ryo was longing for it. All of this made him feel guilty for the times where he acted too grown for his mothers love. "Do you know how it feels not having a mother. All the other kids in the guild always had something more than me. Even though my father was the master, and I was getting stronger and stronger so I could make him proud, I always felt like I was missing something, something bigger..."

" A mothers love" Ashton and Ryo said in unison. They looked at each other with sad expressions on their faces.

"You don't think your mother tried to reach you?" Natsu finally spoke up as he saw the love of his life unable to speak up for herself, "She tried to visit you so many times but Sting wouldn't let her, he feared you would prefer to go with her than stay with him. So she tried calling you whenever she could yet Sting wouldn't pass the phone to you. She then went to write letters to you but she never got a response from you. She couldn't leave you alone. She wanted you to know that she was still thinking about you and that you weren't forgotten. She even sent you birthday gifts every year. She never forgot to get you something or celebrate it herself. She brought a cake every year and sang you Happy birthday in the night. For your 18th she sent you that diamond earring that you are wearing now. Why do you think it has a pink frame, so that you will have something that represents her on you without your father knowing". Ashton said in blunt tone. Ryo took of his diamond earring to examine it better. He never realized that he frame was slightly pink. "It even has a short message for you as well." Natsu continued.

Ryo looked closer on the bar and read aloud, " I love you, Mom". He looked up at Lucy and couldn't help but leap up and hug her. Tears fell down their faces uncontrollably. Nashi couldn't help but join in. Ashton couldn't believe his mother had a pain in her heart the whole time, he looked over at Cora and saw her smiling at the sight of her best friend finally finding his mother, small tears were escaping her as she couldn't help but feel full of happiness. He then looked at his father who was also smiling at the sight in front of him.

Natsu saw his son staring at him and gave him a small smile and a nod to indicate that he should join in. Ashton nodded back, understanding what his father was indicating and joined in the warm embrace, showing Ryo that he accepted the situation wanted nothing more than him to part of their crazy family.

"Max! WAIT UP BRO! Bo yelled from his bedroom window as he saw his twin brother leave the house. Max looked up and nodded. He sat on the front door step to wait for his brother, who once again woke up late due to reading his mothers books. Even though Bo resembled their father in many ways, he couldn't hide from his own twin his love for books which he obviously got from his mother. As Bo made his way downstairs to catch up with his brother, he ran into his mother making her way upstairs bringing her husband a cup of coffee. "Whoaaaa, slow down Bo, I almost burned you". Levy said to her son. "SORRY MOM! was all Levy heard as her son dashed out the front door. As she soon as she made another step forward she was quickly greeted by her other son Nash. "And where are you going tiger?" Levy asked him. "I saw this perfect mission for me and Nashi yesterday so I have today to tell her about it before another team takes it, Thanks for the coffee mom" Nashi continued down the stairs as he took the mug of coffee from his mothers hands. "That..." Levy began to say as she saw her son leave the house, "was for your father" she continued quietly. Levy shook her head at the antics of her boys.

At the guild...

"YO BO! HAVE YOU SEEN FLAME BRAIN AROUND? ME AND DRAKE ARE READY TO LEAVE FOR OUR MISSION!" Lexi yelled from the booth on the other side of the guild.

"NA! I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM TODAY! I WALKED TO THE GUILD WITH MAX!" Bo yelled back as he turned on his stool to see the ice mage on the other side of the guild. Max turned his loud brother around again to face the bar.

"You are too loud" Max said bluntly. "Pick a mission" he said pointing at the several posters on the bar table.

"I can't decide they all pay pretty good money. You chose" Bo replied. There was a long silent between the twins as Bo waited for his brother to make decision. Several minutes passed and not one word was said by Max.

"Who else is coming?" Max asked. Bo almost fell off his chair because of the frustration that overcame him when his brother asked an irrelevant question when he had to pick a mission. "Calm down Bo! Don't hit the bastard or mom will kill you" Bo thought to himself clenching his fists.

"It's just us two" Bo replied gritting his teeth, holding back his anger and urge to upper cut his twin.

"Let's ask Melody" Max said bluntly.

"Hell no! ARE YOU CRAZY! I'M NOT WORKING WITH THAT WITCH! THINKING SHE'S ALL HIGH AND MIGHTY! I DON'T SEE HOW PEOPLE THINK SHE NICE!" Yelled at his brother.

"Who's a witch?" Bo heard behind him. As he and Max turned around to face the irritated voice and found themselves facing Melody with an evil smile on her face. The twins were could feel the scary aura around her.

"We want you to go on a mission with us" Max said in his usual blunt manner. Bo fell off his chair at the idiots response.

"Sure thing, I would love too" Melody replied giving him a sweet smile. "What mission is it?" She asked.

"We still haven't decided. You choose" Max replied showing her the flyers of potential jobs.

"This one" Melody picked whilst Max nodded. "Bo, get up, I just mopped the floors and I don't want you to stain them" Melody said in a flat tone stepping over him to get her stuff ready.

"I think she likes you" Max said down to his brother who was still on the floor.

"I hate you" Bo replied.

"Nashi, hey, where's your brother?" Lexi asked the pink celestial mage. Nashi was busy stuffing her face with ribs that Mirajane just served her.

"ohhh...he...is...coming..." Nashi said in between her bites of food. Lexi sighed at her response. Drake just chuckled and touched her shoulder to reassure her that they will be on the road soon.

Nashi couldn't contain her excitement. Her brothers will be walking in the guild any minute now. She couldn't believe that all the older guild members already knew about Ry and never said a word to the Dragneel kids, but then again it wasn't in their power to tell them. But Nashi couldn't care less, she was happy that she got another older brother, and what made it better was that he was the complete opposite to grumpy and mature Ash; She still loved how her brother was, she wouldn't change it for anything. She smiled a the memory of the twins acting like it was nothing, receiving another older brother over night. They didn't want a explanation. They were happy to get another big brother.

"Hey Nashi, I have a job" Nash said slamming the pink mages back. Her eyes sparked up as soon as she heard the word job.

"seriously...what...is...it?" Nashi asked, not letting the ribs go.

"We have to retrieve a jewel from some thieves for a some baron" Nash explained whilst holding up the flyer so Nashi wouldn't touch it and stain it with her rib stained fingers.

"Sounds good to us right Nashi?" Mei responded as she brought Nashi a Strawberry milkshake.

"THANKS...MEI...YOUR...*gulp* THE BEST!" Nashi exclaimed as she received the milkshake from her friend

. "Hunter! As soon as I finish this milkshake we are heading out ok?" yelled down to her best friend who was sat three stools down, giving him her signature goofy smile . Hunter gave her a small smile as his acceptance of the job. He knew his best friend was delaying the job for some special reason because usually she would jump out her seat, call Mei over as she leaves the guild dragging him out. Hunter smirked at the memory of Nash's jealous look on his face when Nashi would run over to Hunter to drag him along, always. Nash sweat dropped at the quick team formation. He wanted some alone time with Nashi, but he knew it would of been difficult since the hyper active pink head wouldn't catch a hint.

"YO NASHI! WE ARE HERE!"

Nashi looked over to the guild entrance and saw her brothers and Cora standing there. Her big goofy appeared in a split second. She leaped up and waved over at the trio.

"ASH!RYO!CORA!" Nashi yelled as she ran over to the trio and knocked them over by smothering them with a hug.

"HEY NASHI!" Ryo greeted her whilst laughing at his new little sister's antics.

Lexi looked over to see Ashton as soon as she heard his voice. She got up ready to walk over to him and give him the pounding he deserved for making her and Drake wait for him. But she was stopped in her tracks as soon as she saw Nashi talking to another blonde boy who looked like the flame brain but had a more cocky and confident vibe around him. But her gaze wondered to the flame brain when she heard him laughing and apologizing to a girl who was also knocked over by Nashi's greeting. He was helping her get up and laughing. She has never seen Ash so happy before. Her heart was pounding heavily and her chest hurt so much at the sight of Ash and the unknown girl and Lexi didn't know why. But she did know that the girl was beautiful beyond words.

"YO! ICE FREAK COME HERE!" Ashton called over to Lexi

"Sure" Lexi said quietly
