natsu's pov


she watched as I played my fingers dancing on the keys as lucy used to say. my eyes watered while I played. The years i was away on some tangent of my life, being a f****** idiot when i had the world in front of me.I watched as my daughter looked memorized at the keys her face, freckled with my childhood freckles and pink hair. no dna test could tell me i wasn't her father. She was filled with so much wonder and curiosity. it plagued me that I pushed away her mother years ago wanting fame, when i could have had a family. i heard gajeel's shoes tap on the floor behind me as he walked into the room checking on me. i felt lunas head lean onto my shoulder yawning. i continued playing but slowly changing into a lullaby singing softly.

Fate has been cruel and order unkind

How can I have sent you away?

The blame was my own; the punishment, yours

The harmony's silent today

But into the stillness I'll bring you a song

And I will your company keep

Till your tired eyes and my lullabies

Have carried you softly to sleep

I thought back to when i was with my lovely lucy, her hair flowing across my and her pillow. her fingers intertwined with mine. the day i received news i could go into music. my dream…..

Once did a dragon who shone like the sun

Look out on his kingdom and sigh

he smiled and said, "Surely, there is no dragon

So handsome and so well beloved as I"

So great was his reign and so brilliant his glory

That long was the shadow he cast

Which fell dark upon the young wife he loved

And grew only darker as days and nights passed

i was so foolish, lucy was my dream…. a family, her kisses made me more drunk then ten shots of vodka could.

Lullay moon princess, goodnight daughter mine

And rest now in moonlight's embrace

Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth

Through cloud, and through sky, and through space

Carry the peace and the coolness of night

And carry my sorrow in kind

Luna, you're loved so much more than you know

Forgive me for being so blind

Soon did that dragon take notice that others

Did not give his love her due

And neither had he loved her as she deserved

he watched as his wife's unhappiness grew

But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly

Takes hold of the mind of its host

And that foolish dragon did nothing to stop

The destruction of one who had needed him most

"goodbye lucy.." i remember saying as she slammed the door in my face, my feet drug as i walked down the stairs of her small house into the street many bystanders watching me walk.

Lullay moon princess, goodnight daughter mine

And rest now in moonlight's embrace

Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth

Through cloud, and through sky, and through space

Carry the peace and the coolness of night

And carry my sorrow in kind

Luna, you're loved so much more than you know

May troubles be far from your mind

And forgive me for being so blind

the signs of her being pregnant was so there. her puking, her emotions, her asking about families….

The years now before us

Fearful and unknown

I never imagined

I'd face them on my own

May these very many winters

Swiftly pass, I pray

I love you; I miss you

All these miles away

May all your dreams be sweet tonight

Safe upon your bed of moonlight

And know not of sadness, pain, or care

And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there

Sleep...

"mama misses him," she says softly to me as she falls asleep, little luna her eyes already closed her head laying on my lap.

"papa misses mama to," I say as quiet as i can.


hours later


relaxing on the couch, happy, my cat laying across my lap gray accidentally put white hair dye shaped as wings onto his back making him look blue with white wings.

"you want lucy back?" i hear jumping looking behind me seeing levi.

"yes… i was so stupid. i" a sigh escapes my lips. "i would die just to be able to see her smile again."

"i believe you." she says. "it explains alot. and i saw you with luna. only a caring father would play for that long. and took care of her that fragile. "

"she's a beautiful porcelain doll, i don't want any boys to break her heart like i did to lucy. i would regret everything still if they weren't mine. she could have cheated and created them, and i wouldn't have cared. i'd still want her back. shes the best of me." my hands fumbled as i shook a sigh escaping my lips. "I miss her.."
