~PREVIOUSLY ON THE LAST CHAPTER~

"Please, take care of Lucy."

"No need to ask because no matter what happens, I'll always be there for my woman."


-MONTHS LATER.-

"Nashi, stop wiggling around, you need to get fit into this dress!" Natsu shouted and whined as he tired keeping his daughter still who just threw her limps in the air doing the same. Today was the big day—today was the day Lucy's last name will be changed to Dragneel and she would be his forever. Today, the day they have been waiting for has finally come. He couldn't wipe the grin off his face this whole morning but Nashi had whipped it off completely. He loves his daughter—more than anything but Nashi was just so fussy and won't listen to him it was driving him crazy this morning.

"Urgh just put your arm into this—ow! Nashi!" Nashi stared up at her father, tears in her eyes as they all suddenly became quiet, red feet print on Natsu's cheek. The two Dragneel's had a stare-off till Nashi finally started to wail, throwing her limps in the air. Natsu groaned and put the dress down, picking his daughter up in his arms to bounce her up and down. "Shh—Papa's here, no need to cry." Natsu cooed, patting her back while bouncing the crying girl in his arms.

"M—mama! Mama!" Nashi started to cry out, Natsu's ears ringing pretty loud and clear, a sigh escaping his lips. He put the baby down and patted her stomach, smiling at her. "Nashi, Mama is getting ready for the wedding so Papa has to dress you, okay?"

"M—mama!" Natsu sighed in defeat, trying to think of a way to stop her wailing. He knows nothing will make this girl forget her mother since she was like him. He never stop whining or calling for somebody till he gets it or find them. "Mama!"

"Ahhh—why is my baby crying?" Natsu jumped as he heard a sweet high-pitched voice from his side, turning to see it was Lucy who was cradling Nashi in her arms, cooing slightly. He noticed she was only in her white and black bra and panties. "Lucy?"

"Natsu, what are you doing dozing off and making Nashi cry? I thought I told you to put her in the dress,"

"I was! She wouldn't listen and started crying for you! What are you doing here anyways? I thought you were supposed to be getting ready,"

"I was till I heard my baby's crying." Lucy said as she put the girl down, grabbing her light pink dress. "You can actually hear it?"

"Of course—a mother's instincts never lie." Lucy smiled proudly, putting the dress over Nashi's head to pop her arms out of the sleeves, picking the girl up to hand over to Natsu. Once Natsu held her once more Lucy straightened the dress on her daughter and smiled brightly, kissing her daughter's cheek.

"There,"

Natsu stared at his soon-to-be-wife in awe, wondering how in the world she did that. Her gaze soon shifted to Natsu as she heard her daughter's giggling, a smile on her pretty lips. "You should get ready too," Lucy said leaning up to kiss his lips. Natsu returned the gesture and grinned at her as she pulled away. "You could go to the wedding like that and we could bang in the back, you know."

"As if!" Lucy blushed, smacking his chest playfully. Natsu laughed and put Nashi back down in her crib, reaching over to hug Lucy but she was already out the door. "See you soon!" Natsu stared at where she was moment earlier and pouted, wanting to get hugs and kisses from her but she left so soon making him feel bad. He turned back to Nashi to see she was chewing on her fist, Natsu scrunching his face up.

"At least I have you," He sighed, walking on over to go change into his suit. Only if he was faster—he would have gotten breakfast.

~X~

"Lucy! There you are—where'd you run off to?" Layla scolded as she grabbed her daughter who yelped in surprise. Layla brought her over to where they were, grabbing the brush to go through her tangled golden locks. "And why are you walking around only in your bra and panties, young lady? Don't tell me you left to go see Natsu and seduce—"

"No! I just heard Nashi crying and—mama!" Lucy flushed red as she shot her mother an embarrassed look in the mirror as Layla started to pin the blonde hair up. Layla laughed and smiled towards her daughter, pinning bobby pins here and there. "Oh, look at you—you're already a mother and soon becoming a married woman!"

"Mama . . . you're embarrassing me."

"I'm sorry, I'm just so happy!"

"I know but still—d—don't cry!" Lucy's eyes widen in alarm as she now noticed her mother was in the corner sobbing her heart out. "My little girl is all grown up!"

"Mama!"


Natsu groaned as he held his baby girl in his arms, his tall figure bouncing up and down as he tried making the girl stop crying but no use, she wouldn't stop crying.

He was standing by the doorway as people came in, smiling as new people came in but frowning as Nashi wailed even louder when he tried speaking to people, scaring the guest away. He was now wishing Lucy was out here and making Nashi stop crying since he was going crazier every second. The child wouldn't stop crying since this morning and Natsu was wondering was it because of the wedding. "M—mama!"

"Mama is getting ready, Nashi, please, stop crying."

"Mama! Mama!" Natsu was so close on snapping when suddenly Nashi was lifted out of Natsu's arm and into their arms. Natsu looked at the person to see it was his mother cradling the child gently in her arms, cooing as she shoved a binky inside her mouth. The cries and wailing had died out and Nashi was staring right up at her grandmother with wide charcoal eyes, Natsu wondering why he hasn't done that sooner.

"Natsu, you do not know how to take care of a child,"

"I do, thank you very much. And who said you can take my child away from me?" Natsu snapped as he brought his 4 month old daughter back in his arms, rocking her back and forth gently. "Nashi is a smart girl so of course she would like to be in a woman's arm rather than a mans."

"But I am her father and I know she's smart—she goes after her mother."

"Saying her first word only at month four, you two must be real proud." Grandine sighed, putting her hand on Natsu's shoulder as she stared at the pink-haired girl who slightly dozed off while sucking on her binky. "Of course we are! By the way, when did I say my first word?"

"Oh Natsu, you were blabbing everything out since you were born! You couldn't properly speak till you were 5 years old—you're such a late bloomer."

"M—mom!"

"You grew up so much; I remember just yesterday you were crying about how you couldn't sleep by yourself."

"Hey—!"

"I'm just kidding, dear." Grandine giggled, giving Natsu's cheek a slight pinch. Natsu scowled at his mother as he shot her a glare, Grandine's sweet smile making Natsu sigh and look away. "Become a great husband for Lucy and great father to your kids, alright?"

"Of course,"

"Good, now give me Nashi." Grandine held her arms out, bouncing up and down a slight bit while grinning. Natsu rolled his eyes and gently placed his sleeping daughter in his mother's arms, a squeal escaping the woman's lips. "So cute!" The blue haired woman said as she brushed the pink-hair away from the child's face, her wide grin never leaving her beautiful face. "I know, I know; it's because she has my looks."

"You wish," Grandine muttered before leaving to go brag to the guests about how cute her granddaughter is, leaving Natsu standing there with empty hopes.

His mother was so mean to him.

Natsu cursed under his breath as he shoved his hands in his pants pocket, turning around to come face to face with Gray, Erza, and Gray's girlfriend Juvia. A grin appeared on his face as he saw his friends. "Yo!"

"Natsu-San, congratulations."

"Thanks, Juvia."

"Where's Lucy?" Gray asked as he looked around for the blonde, Juvia fuming a bit next to him. "Most importantly—where's Nashi?" Erza asked as her eyes widen and twinkled, a cute smile appearing on her face. Natsu pointed towards his mother who was bragging to the older woman, a smirk on her lips while the woman cooed at the child. Erza nodded and gave his shoulder one last pat before making her way over to the pink-haired child. The three watched as Erza went on over to the woman and scooped Nashi away from Grandine who let out a shout of surprise, cursing the scarlet-haired woman who walked away with a sleeping pink-haired girl.

"She's obsessed with her,"

"I know—I can image what she's going to do with my other kids."

"Watch her have kids one day and see how she reacts."

"Erza-San likes Kids?" Juvia asked, tilting her head to the side as Gray and Natsu both sighed. "You have no idea." Juvia sweat-dropped as she thought of Erza being all motherly and cute towards the small kids.

"Does Erza—"Juvia started to say but stopped as soon as she got interrupted. "Natsu!"

Natsu made a sound of surprise as somebody flung themselves on him, his hands immediately going around their hip. "L—Lisanna,"

"Natsu! Oh, look at you—you're all fancy like and I'm so happy for you!"

"Thanks . . ."

"Natsu, congratulations."

"Thanks Mira,"

"Getting married is a man!" Elfman roared causing Natsu to roll his eyes once more. "Where's Lucy?" Mirajane asked as she noticed Lucy was nowhere to be found. Natsu shrugged, "Maybe getting ready. The wedding doesn't start for another 20 minutes," The three white-haired siblings all nodded.

"Where's Nashi? Where is she?" Mirajane suddenly piped up, bouncing up and down in place. "Erza has her," Gray stated making Mirajane gasp. "Come on Lisanna! We have a baby to catch!" The older woman grabbed her younger sister to shout in surprise, being dragged towards the scarlet-woman who was running away with a sleeping child in her arms. "Geez, all of you are so obsessed with my daughter,"

"Well, she is cute."

"Because she looks like me—I know," Natsu smirked as he once again boasted about his appearance. Gray just rolled his eyes while Juvia laughed sheepish, Elfman wondering what in the world he was talking about. "If everyone excused Juvia, Juvia will go see how Lucy-San is doing,"

"Ah, tell her hi." Gray grinned, waving at his girl while Natsu smiled, pointing down the hallways. Juvia nodded and disappeared, leaving the boys alone once more.

The blue-haired woman walked down the hallways down to where Natsu had said Lucy was in, her white heels making a clicking sound with every step she made. Once she found her way to the room Natsu had described she noticed Lucy was straightening her dress while looking at herself in the mirror.

Juvia just watched in awe as she noticed how beautiful Lucy is, soon Erza and Mirajane coming behind Juvia along with Lisanna. "She's beautiful," Lisanna mumbled, the woman all smiling at the bride. Lucy turned around as she saw her friend in the mirror, a wife smile appearing on her face. "You guys!" Lucy ran on over to her friends hugging all of them at once. Everyone cheered her name as they hugged back, cries of happiness being exchanged with the ladies. "Lucy, you look beautiful!"

"Thank you!"

"Wah, I'm so jealous! I want to get married too!"

"Then hurry and find the perfect guy, Lisanna." Lucy winked, the white-haired woman flushing a bit. Lucy looked around at her lady-friends and grinned widely, feeling so happy. "Thank you for coming,"

"Why wouldn't we come?" Erza scoffed, a laugh escaping Lucy's lips. "Where's everyone else?"

"They're outside getting ready for everything,"

"Lucy, Nashi has grown so much since the last time I've seen her!" Mirajane squealed, Erza's ears perking up. "She looks like an angel—so beautiful."

"Thank you," Lucy blushed, smiling brightly as they complimented her beautiful daughter. "She has Natsu's eyes and hair but she looks exactly like you." Lisanna smiled as Lucy nodded in agreement, remembering her daughter's beautiful face. "She's going to be a beauty when she grows up," Lucy said making all the girls nod in agreement.

"Everyone is attending Lucy Heartfillia and Natsu Dragneel's wedding please starts being seatwe will start in 5 minutes." Lucy gasped as she started to get nervous again, cursing as she was so confident moments earlier. She didn't want everyone staring at her while she walked down the aisle, she hated getting attention. Suddenly Lucy heard her daughter's wailing and she looked towards the door, debating whether or not if she should run out to her daughter's crying pleads. She knew the bride was supposed to be in her room till announced but she needed her daughter. The girl's watched as she jumped up and down, a frown appearing on her face.

"Ladies and gentle man, here is the groom." The announcer finally said and that was when Lucy heard her daughter's cry, "Mama!" Lucy quickly grabbed the ends of her dress and burst out the door, her friends all shouting out to her but she ignored them, looking around to find her pink-haired daughter.

Once she found her, she ran on over to Nashi, scooping the girl out of her husband's arms who looked equally shocked and amazed. "My precious baby, Mama is here! Don't cry!" Lucy announced, smiling at the baby girl who instantly smiled at the woman who held her, Lucy returning the smile. She squeezed the baby in her arms and sighed happily, freezing as she heard somebody clear their throat. Lucy looked up to see the priest and Natsu staring right at her, the other guests also staring at the blonde woman. Lucy immediately flushed as she gave Nashi back to Natsu who started to laugh out loud, the whole place following soon after. Lucy lowered her head in embarrassment as Natsu put one hand on her shoulder, grinning widely. "Luce, you're so weird."

"I—I'm sorry, I heard my baby's crying and . . ." Lucy bit her lip as she looked at her child who was now sucking on her fist, scowling at the girl. Natsu chuckled and held Nashi out, the baby being immediately snatched away from his arms. Natsu put his hand on Lucy's shoulder and smiled, grabbing her hand to bring her next to him.

"Let's get the wedding started,"

~X~

"Do you, Lucy Heartfillia, take Natsu Dragneel as your lawful wedded husband?"

"I do,"

"And do you, Natsu Dragneel take Lucy Heartfillia as your lawful wedded wife?"

"I do!" Natsu shouted and finally the moment he has been waiting for her watched as the priest closed his book. "You may now kiss—"The priest started to say but Natsu beat him to him when he grabbed Lucy and smashed his lips against Lucy's. He stared at them in bewilderment, wondering how many more crazy things were going to happen but he ignored them, walking away. "Crazy kids,"

The whole place erupted into cheers as they pulled away, a wide grin on both of their faces. Natsu grabbed her hand and started to run down the aisle, hungry and wanting to eat some cake. Lucy followed him, holding up her dress while running out, the crowd following them out.

Lucy was about to rush out to her baby girl but when she felt Natsu's hand bring her towards him again, cursing once again. "Where do you think you're going, Mrs. Dragneel?" Natsu smirked, looking at the blonde who threw him a dirty look. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead, a soft smile on his lips. "Don't leave yet,"

"I'm just going to get our baby."

"She can wait because right now I want to be with my wife."

"Natsu—my baby." Lucy whined, trying to pull away but Natsu kept his grip firm on her. "You have the flower toss anyways."

"But I need to spend more time with our Nashi or I can't see her for a month!" Lucy whined, jumping up and down in his arms making him blink and look at her. "What do you mean?"

"Honeymoon?" Natsu stared at her for a good minute before he let her go, rushing off to go find his beloved daughter. He heard his wife's screaming his name behind him but he ignored her, his eyes darting from people to people till he found his mother holding the pink-haired baby in her arms, bragging to woman once again. He dashed towards her and snatched Nashi out of her arms, earning gasps from them.

"Mine," Natsu shot his mother and the woman a devilish grin before running back, hearing his mother screaming his name behind him. Once he found his queen searching for him and Nashi he went on over there, shooting her a grin while holding the baby in his arms.

Lucy gasped and smiled at Nashi, flashing Natsu a sweet smile. "Mama!"

"Nashi, my sweet baby." Lucy cooed, leaning in to kiss her forehead. The pink-haired child laughed and threw her hands in the air, a laugh escaping Lucy and Natsu's lips.

"Are you sure we can't bring her with us?" Natsu asked as he wrapped one arm around Lucy's hips and one around his daughter who was playing around with the scarf on his neck. Lucy shook her head and frowned, brushing the hairs away from her daughter's forehead. "Our mother's won't let us . . . anyways, do you really want to get interrupted and take care of Nashi during our honeymoon?" Lucy threw him a sly smile and Natsu shook his head, a smirk crawling up his lips. "No, I do not plan on stopping for anything, Mrs. Dragneel."

"Do you really need to keep saying my last name?"

"Yes, because it's not Miss Heartfillia anymore, it's Mrs. Dragneel." Natsu stated proudly earning a scoff from Lucy. She rolled her eyes and smiled towards her husband who grinned cheekily. "And I love it."

"I love it too."

"It has a ring to it, huh, Mrs. Dragneel?"

"Please stop."

"Why, Mrs. Dragneel?"

"Natsu,"

"Ah, I love you Mrs. Dragneel." Lucy sighed and face-palmed, walking away from the man she married for what reason? He was just so stupid. Natsu chuckled and looked at his daughter with wide eyes, a grin on his lips. His daughter mirrored his actions and he laughed out loud, leaning in to kiss her cheek.

"Luce, you and Nashi are the best thing that has ever happened to me." Natsu said as he looked around, seeing his friends and family members all chatting with each other. He noticed Lucy had just thrown the flowers behind her, seeing that Yukino was the one who caught it, blushing furiously along with Sting who looked like he was about to explode. A small chuckle escaped his lips once as he bounced the girl up and down in his arms, freezing as he heard Nashi speak.

"P—papa,"

He slowly turned to look at Nashi, his eyes wide in surprise. Did she just say what he thinks she just said? "H—huh?"

"Pa—papa!"

"Did you just . . . say papa?"

"Papa!" Nashi repeated, Natsu's eyes widening even more. He stared at her for a moment before a huge grin appeared on his face, squeezing the girl tightly in his arms. "Yes, Nashi, I am your Papa!"

"Papa! Papa!"

"Yes!" Natsu cheered, lifting the girl high up in the air while spinning in a circle. Nashi let out a cute laugh as she threw her arms in the air, being squished against Natsu's chest after he was finished spinning. He pulled away and kissed both of her cheeks, running to go brag about how his daughter had just said Papa.


-YEARS LATER.-

"Seriously, Natsu, I told you many times not to just put the kids in front of the TV while I'm away! This is not good for them I tell you!" Lucy shouted as she turned the TV off, picking her son off the ground as her daughters ran away somewhere, tsking. She shot Natsu a look who groaned, whining about something as he slumped in his seat, an unfinished puzzle on the coffee table while toys and other things were scattered everywhere. "I'm sorry; I couldn't handle Luna and Nashi while watching out for Natsuki."

"But you didn't have to plop him in front of the TV!"

"Alright, I won't do it next time." Natsu said as he lied on the couch, sighing. "Why'd you have to leave me alone with the kids anyways?"

"I told you, Erza had an emergency call." Lucy said as she placed her son on Natsu's stomach, a goofy grin replacing his serious one. Natsuki held onto Natsu's pointer fingers as he wobbled back and forth. "And that emergency was?"

"..She was craving strawberry cake."

"That's not an emergency!"

"It is when you're pregnant so shush!" Lucy snapped, going around picking the toys up. Natsu rolled his eyes and grinned at his son, sitting up to place the blonde child on his lap. "Mama is too loud, isn't she?"

"I heard that!" Natsu grinned sheepish and picked his son up in his arms, squishing him against his chest. He went on over to his wife and kissed her cheek as she got up, a bright red appearing on her cheeks soon after. "Welcome home," Lucy made a humming sound as she tossed the toys in the toy box, standing up to sigh. "Luna! Nashi! Where are you?"

"We're here Mama!" The girls sang as they ran down the stairs, slamming into Lucy's legs. Lucy smiled as she crouched down, kissing their cheeks. "How are you two?"

"I'm great! We're pretending to be princesses upstairs! Papa was playing with us earlier today but he stopped."

"Yeah! We put your make-up on him too."

"He was really cute."

"Make-up? On papa?" Lucy snorted, covering her mouth as she felt a nudge from behind her. She looked up to see Natsu shooting her a glare, bouncing the drooling child in his arms. "I see, and was papa pretty?" Lucy asked, ignoring her husband who continued to stare at her. "Yes! We were about to put a dress on papa but he was too fat!"

"Papa is a fatty!"

"Yes, papa is too fat!" The girls laughed along with Lucy and Natsuki started giggling, hearing his family members laugh. "Hey—! I am not fat!"

"But you wouldn't fit into mama's dress!"

"Yes, so you are fat!"

"I am not fat! Luce, tell them!" Natsu whined, looking at Lucy who stood back up, giggling. "Girls, your papa isn't fat. He's muscular, you see these muscles?" Lucy pointed out, grabbing his arm to show the girls the muscles. "He's big anyways." Natsu sighed and rolled his eyes, a small smile coming to his lips.

"Anyways! Dinner time, come on, come help mama!" Lucy grinned, taking her son into her arms as she gave Natsu a wink. He smirked and watched the girls run into the kitchen, Lucy shouting about not running. Unknowingly his smirk was replaced with a soft smile, his who expression softening.

He really was lucky to have somebody as great as Lucy and a great family. He was glad he decided to be with Lucy because in the end, he was living the life.

He was hers and she was his.
