Chapter 1: Things That Have Changed
(Might Be A Long Chapter. Also Gratsulover117 thanks for the name ideas. I used one of them. Also may be longish plus note once again. OC: Edo Levy)
In the last year many things have happened to the Fairy Tail guild. Ranging from new members to the return of others but the biggest things that have occurred to Fairy Tail all memorable.
The first was the marriage of Natsu Dragneel to Levy McGarden. The wedding took place at Kardia Cathedral after the Oracion Seis events. The members of Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scale were invited of course due to the recent teaming of the guilds. Wendy Marvel the newest member of Fairy Tail was asked to be the flower girl which she agreed to and that it would be an honor since Natsu basically saved her guild even though it disappeared afterwards.
Natsu stood at the front of the Cathedral with Gajeel, Mystogan who Natsu chased down just for this event, Gray, and Elfman. Master Makarov would be marrying the two. Lucy walked down the aisle as Levys maid of honor followed by Erza, Mirajane, and Bisca. Natsu wasn't nervous at all he knew he wanted to marry Levy he's known that since the day he left. He stayed up every night looking at the picture of the two of them and fell asleep with it next to him.
The music began to play signaling Levy was about to make her entrance. Natsu looked towards the doors at the end of the aisle to see Levy standing there between Jet and Droy who were going to be the ones who gave her away since they were her best friends and were there for her after Natsu left. Her baby bump visible against her dress but Natsu always said it always made her glow even more and that no matter what she was beautiful and if Natsu said it then Levy believed it. Natsu never lied to her and he promised her never would.

"Do you Levy McGarden take Natsu Dragneel as your lawfully wedded husband?" Master Makarov asked.
"I do." Levy said with a smile on her face looking Natsu in the eyes.
"Do you Natsu Dragneel take Levy McGarden as your lawfully wedded wife?" Master Makarov asked.
"I do." Natsu said with a smile looking Levy in the eyes as well.
"Then by the power vested in me as a Wizard Saint and as Master of Fairy Tail I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride." Just as soon as Makarov finished Natsu was kissing Levy a smile plastered on both of their faces.
Natsu and Levy didn't even get to attend their own wedding party because on their way out of the Cathedral Levys water broke and she went into labor. Natsu picked her up bridal style and put all the power he had into his feet and within minutes Natsu burst into the hospital putting Levy in the nearest hospital bed before they rushed her to the delivery room. After thirty-six hours of being in labor Levy gave birth to fraternal twins. Which was a shock since they only thought they were having one baby.
The first she gave birth too was a boy and they named him Raien Dragneel he weighed seven pounds eight ounces. He had Levys hair color but when he gave a small cough a bit of fire came out showing he would be just like Natsu and boy did Natsu cheer.
The second was born ten minutes later and it was a girl Shanira Dragneel weighed eight pounds five ounces. She had pink hair like Natsu and since she didn't show any signs of holding fire magic she was decided she would have Levys power.
After the births Levy passed out from exhaustion and Natsu decided he didn't want to hold his children without Levy being awake so once they were cleaned the nurses took them to the nursery so they could sleep. Natsu sat on the chair next to Levys bedside in his tuxedo holding her hand and staying up for a few more hours before falling asleep. He totally forgot about everyone in the waiting room but right now he didn't seem to care. Plus he was sure the nurses would tell everyone everything.
Levy woke up to the sunlight hitting her face. She moved her right hand to block the sun but she found it heavy and looked over to see Natsu' hand in hers and his head on the bed asleep. She couldn't help but smile.
After Natsu woke up and placed many kisses on Levys lips and all around her face he and Levys kids were brought in and Levy was the first to hold them before Natsu took his turn. Levy could of sworn she saw a tear roll down his face but she said nothing of it. She watched the way Natsu looked at their kids so full of love and admiration.
"We sure can make beautiful children." He said smiling before kissing both of their foreheads before handing Shanira back to Levy while he held onto Raien.
Soon a few at a time the guild members were allowed in to see the newly wedded couple and their two children. Reedus painted a picture of the family all smiling. He was able to catch the love in Levy and Natsu' eyes when they looked down at their sleeping children in their arms.

The happiness didn't last long because a week after Levy and the kids were released from the hospital Mystogan re-appeared before everything went still and Magnolia was sucked into the anima and sent to Edolas. Natsu was enraged at this but calmed down once Mystogan told him that they could venture to Edolas and free their friends by defeating his father and reversing the anima sending them all home.
Once in Edolas Natsu immediately ran to the Fairy Tail guild there and told them all of what happened not letting them cheer for his return after a couple years of not visiting. They could tell the difference between the two because Natsu was no longer hiding what he looked like. They did as he expected and voted against fighting and Natsu didn't judge them he understood they had no way to defend themselves and let them be. He was about to walk out of the guild but the Levy from Edolas (which I could find no last name for so when I think of one I'll add it) stopped him.
The ground began to shake and that's when he knew Erza Knightwalker had arrived. He didn't feel like hurting Erza this time around and decided to just flee with the guild. Levy jumped into her seat and teleported the whole guild to the middle of the desert. Natsu soon after left the guild but not without giving this Levy a goodbye kiss it wasn't the first and most likely won't be the last.
(Also, in this sequel it just came to me yesterday I will add Edolas Levy and have Natsu end up with her as well. Some of you may not like it but I decided why the heck not. How much could this effect my story in a bad way?)

After they defeated the Edolas king and followed through with their plan to rid Edolas of its magical energy those of Fairy Tail from Earthland began to glow. Edo Levy showing up at that exact moment tackled Natsu into a hug as she began to cry. She heard what was going to happen and she could never handle living in a world where she wasn't able to be with this Natsu because lets face it the Natsu from Edolas is a coward and somehow ended up falling for Lucy Ashley Lucys Edolas counterpart for some odd reason. Natsu seeing Levy cry did the only thing he could. He bit her. It wasn't a painful bite or a like sexual bite or anything but in that bite Natsu transferred just enough magic into Edo Levys body that she began to glow and float away too.
She said goodbye to her guild with tears in her eyes and hugged her rival Lucy Ashley who was also crying as those of Earthland were sucked into the anima. Just before it closed Lisanna was sucked in as well.
Once back in Earthland and after talking to the Exceeds who were new to Earthland and Natsu and Gajeel got exceed partners (Natsu and Gajeel fought Happy and Lily) they made their way to the cemetary where Lisanna reunited with her brother and sister before they all headed to the guild and Natsu began explaining how and why Levy from Edolas was now in Earthland. His answer was quite simple and quite blunt.
"I love Levy and I also love this Levy cause well she's you. If you think about it it's not technically cheating since they are the same person physical but mentally they are opposite in a way but still the same person and I just couldn't leave her behind. I mean come on guys it's Levy." He said pointing at the Edolas Levy who looked almost exactly like Levy only her hair was a little more messed up and her clothing was different. Earthland Levy wore dresses and let her hair grow out a bit. Edolas Levy wore shorts and half a shirt half of the time while they other half was just enough to cover up her breasts like sports bras and they were mostly red.
Levy for one was shocked at first but then gave in when she grasped what Natsu was trying to say. No matter what Levy it was he loved her and he never loved one more than the other. She too was apart of his life. She was the Levy he was around when she wasn't and too separate them forever was too much. She was sure she would do the same thing if she was in Natsu' position but when she realized what she was thinking she just shook her head. One Natsu was enough in all ways.
Once Edolas Levy (I'll put her as Edo. Levy until I can think of something else to call her) and Levy spent some alone time together and Levy filled in Edo Levy of everything that happened here in Earthland they became the best of friends. Edo Levy was even able to became the best of friends with Lucy which Natsu found strange at first then just waved it off. I guess both Levys were the same in more ways than one. A week after Edo Levys arrival Natsu implanted a lacrima in her which allowed her to use magic like Levys except she could create living things though only for a matter of time anything ranging from battle to just every day things to have around. Natsu married Edo Levy three months later with Levy as the maid of honor. Most guys were jealous of Natsu having two of the same woman. He just shook it off.
-x-
Six months after Natsu' second marriage came the S-class exams. Natsu wasn't going to attend since he volunteered to stay and take care of his children. Levy was nominated and decided to take Edo Levy as her partner. Who could beat two Levys?... Gajeel was also nominated and chose his exceed Pantherlily as his partner. Happy stayed behind with Natsu.
Natsu was excited when he thought of his wife becoming S-class but that all faded when the news came the next day after their departure. Tenroujima had been wiped off the map. Doranbolt who hid himself within the guild as Myst who was Mystogans 'apprentice' told what was left of the guild what he saw. Acnologia the dragon of the apocalypse had wiped out the island on orders from the dark mage Zeref.
After hearing the information Natsu left his kids in the care of Alzack and Bisca before disappearing for a week to mourn the loss of his two wives. He went to a secluded location where he lashed out until he could no longer stand on his own two feet. He roared into the skies sounding like a dragon mourning the death of its mates.
He returned to the guild and did what he knew he had to do. He raised his kids but he raised them alone though he was offered the title of guild master Natsu declined feeling he didn't deserve it and left Macao to it. Natsu took his kids and disappeared but to help the guild he always sent a millions jewels a week that he would get S-class jobs that he asked Happy or Igneel if he was around to go and get so he could make money to take care of his children. They helped willingly. Sometimes one or the other would stay behind to watch the kids.
The money he sent helped the guild stay a float and every now and then he'd send a drawing in of his kids growth keeping the guild in the loop. He kept his ear out for news of the guild and he was always happy to see it was still up and kicking taking his advice and moving on. Though they weren't the top guild anymore at least they weren't the weakest either and weren't bankrupt. The requests kept coming in... the guild never being forgotten.

Seven years had passed since the disappearance of Tenroujima Island and Natsu had gotten older in those seven years. He was now in his mid twenties still looking young though the only thing that made him look old was the pink facial hair he was now sporting. His grew two inches taller and his body put on some more muscle tone. He cut his hair everytime it grew longer than his lower back. He thought it made him look wiser.
In the past seven years Natsu had somehow managed to help Happy achieve the ability to use some fire attacks while in his battle form thanks to a small lacrima. He was also able to raise his kids to be respectful, fun, intelligent, and aware of the dangers of the world. He also helped them learn their magic though it still wasn't strong they were able to defend themselves to a certain extent if needed. He trained them in ways of fighting and in ways of being able to survive in the wild with the help of Igneel and Happy.
Though it wasn't all training. Natsu would take days off and just hang out and have fun with his kids. He even took them to the amusement park in Crocus a few times and traveled around to see monuments and new towns for small vacations. He also helped Crime Sorciere defeat dark guilds in his sparest of times.
Every night Natsu would tuck in his kids and tell them a story and sleep barely two feet away never wanting to be away from them when he was around afraid they'll disappear just as quickly as their mother did. His kids were his life and that's all he needed.
When he received word from Happy that the Tenroujima group had returned he immediately packed up the gear and put it on his back while Happy grew into his battle form and offered to carry the kids all the way to the guild Igneel was off doing business in the dragon realm. While Happy flew Natsu ran all day until they reached the guild which were celebrating. He hadn't been here in seven years and the guild never looked so beautiful.
Happy stayed outside with the now sleeping kids while Natsu went inside to see if the rumors were true and boy were they. As soon as Natsu opened the door wearing his cloak the room became silent. He looked over the guild vigilantly noticing the rumors were true the group was back. He kept looking around until his eye sight caught two heads of blue messy hair and he couldn't help but smile as tears of joy began to form.
"Who are you?" Makarov asked from his seat on the bar the same place he sat seven years ago.
"My name is Natsu Dragneel the father of two beautiful children and the husband to two beautiful women that I am just happy to see." Natsu said before removing his hood with a genuine smile on his face. "Levy and Levy." He said just before the two women ran to him and he ran to them pulling the two of them in for a hug as he and the two women cried against each other. "I love you both so much and I missed you every day." He told them kissing both of their heads before giving each of them a kiss. Everyone in the guild was watching the touching moment intently.
"Daddy?" A tired and small girls voice called out before entering rubbing her tired eyes. Her long pink hair reaching the small of her back. She looked like a miniature Levy but with pink hair. "I had a bad dream." She said still rubbing her eyes and not noticing the guild members.
"Aww it's okay sweetheart." He said as he walked over to her and picked her up. "Where's your brother?" He asked.
"Still sleeping on uncle Happy." She told him as she finally stopped rubbing her eyes and noticed all the guild members. "Daddy who are they?" She asked shyly and a little frightened.
"They are friends sweetheart no, they are family." He told her. "Say hi."
"Hi" she said shyly. Levy who saw the small girl in Natsu' arms couldn't hold back her tears. That was her daughter in her husbands arms and she had grown up without her.
"Sweetheart there's someone I want you to meet. Okay?" He asked his daughter as she looked at him and nodded. He began walking over to Levy who held a hand up to her mouth to hide her sobs. "Shanira this is your mommy." He said causing Shanira to look at Levy.
Shanira stuck out her small hand and placed in on Levy wet cheeks. She had seen the pictures that Natsu had of her mother every night and of her step mother who looked exactly like her mother but after seeing the pictures every night she could tell the difference. "Mommy!" She shouted jumping from Natsu' arms into Levys who quickly wrapped her arms around her while Shanira's went around Levys neck. "Mommy" she whispered as she began to cry.
"Oh my baby" Levy cried into Shaniras hair holding her daughter close. "I love you so much and I am so sorry I haven't been around. I had to go away for a while." She told Shanira who pulled away and gave Levy a kiss before squirming out of her mothers arms and ran outside as soon as she touched the ground. She had to tell her older brother the news.
"Raien!" She shouted before disappearing outside. Seconds later she re-entered with a spitting image of a younger Natsu except with blue hair. "See it's mommy." She told him once they stopped in front of Levy and pointed at her.
"Mommy" Raien whispered before hugging his mother. "Mommy!" he shouted. "I love you." He told her as she began to hug him back still crying.
"I love you too mommy!" Shanira shouted hugging her mother as well.
"I've waited seven long years to hear them say that." Natsu said before picking up his kids and hugging Levy but not before pulling a crying Edo Levy into the family hug as they all cried.
