Natsu grumbled at how pathetic he looked now watching kids that he never remembered making as they sat on the floor eating some fish that he had caught earlier while Lucy had gone out to get some ingredients, and clothes from her apartment to give the kids a bath.
"So … how old are you guys…"
*natsu couldn't hold in the curiosity as he began asking questions.*
"Mmm I'm 6 and Liddan is 5…"
*Nashi replied as she had stopped eating to answer him properly without food in her mouth just like how her mother taught her.*
"Ah! I see.."
*natsu blushed and looked away as he thought that he had become a perv to not even give a 2 year difference when he began to have kids.*
"So how many children do I have?"
*natsu asked now as he was curious to know more but was sadly disappointed as Nashi raised 2 fingers*
"You only had me and Liddan.."
*she covered Liddan's ears well as she said the next part*
"You couldn't have more because you got a problem with the dragon inside you, I overheard you tell mommy from the future that.."
*natsu felt more embarrassed now as he couldn't believe hearing his future daughter tell him he was limp down their.. but interrupted when Nashi finished her comment*
"You had summoned the dragon part of you when mommy got stabbed you see… mommy was pregnant with .. *Nashi motioned at Liddan still covering his ears as he kept eating* and she was going to die so you saved her by becoming the dragon inside you that costed you to make the dragon hibernate inside you now which caused mommy to not have any more babies anymore.."
*Nashi blushed as she had heard about the birds and bees from the twins but she didn't believe that was how babies where made but after today she was a changed 6 year old…*
"Ahh! I see! You don't have to say anymore! I got the point!"
*natsu blushed a heavy color of red as he couldn't even look at Nashi now who finally uncovered Liddan's ears who was full now and layed on her lap to take a nap.*
"Yeah…."
*Nashi looked sad now knowing she couldn't do anything now that she was stuck here until this daddy or her real daddy came to get her..*
"So… um.. who's the lucky lady I get to meet?"
*natsu began to investigate wondering if it was anyone from fairy tail.. he had eyes too you know, he wasn't a perv but he had a crush on lisanna once, sometimes on levy too. They weren't attractive to him though so he never did anything to pursue them to make them his.*
"Why should I tell you? Wouldn't you just screw it up?"
*nashi insulted him once again feeling still bitter about how her own father ruined her childhood..*
"No, I wouldn't… I was just curious you know… I never really was interested in anyone is all… plus if you told me who it was I would make sure to at least begin getting to know them better to ensure your born in the future.."
*natsu awkwardly looked away as he scratched his cheek to not seem too romantic or too caring about the kids he had just met.*
This was when Nashi had the greatest idea yet!
"Daddy! Your a genius!!!"
"I am? I mean, I AM!! But how am I a genius?"
*natsu turned around in his seat to look at her now as he saw her draw on a nearby paper. She still had Liddan sleeping on her lap so she had to move slowly.*
"Ok look! Mommy was teaching today when we got sent back in time, about how everything you do in the past can change the future! So maybe if I tell you who mommy is, you can marry her faster and not have her get stabbed before Liddan is born!"
*Nashi was so smart, natsu couldn't help feeling proud of her on thinking all this on her own.. he began seeing himself in her as she kept explaining her theory.*
"I see, so you want me to capture your mommy's heart as fast as I can and marry her to runaway with her somewhere were bad guys can't get her?"
"Yes!! This is only after 3 years though.. I think you and mommy lied to me about something about that.."
*Nashi began to fumble as she grew nervous about this part.*
"What do you mean 3 years? Am I having you two in 3 years!!?"
*natsu freaked out a bit as it was too soon and short time of period to court someone, get to know them, fall in love with them, and marry them.*
"I don't know! I'm 6 years old when your only 27! Mommy is 26, so I don't know how you and mommy met in such a small amount of time!"
*Nashi struggled in her head as he scratched her itch head with both of her hands.*
"It's alright Nashi, just tell me who your mommy is and I'll just figure it out as time passes on.."
*natsu looked at his daughter with a expecting glance as she looked back at him and she looked away in annoyance.*
"You already met her today, idiot.. didn't you hear Liddan mess up and called her 'momma'.."
*nashi embarrassingly looked at her father waiting for him to click the puzzle together.*
Natsu thought back to when he got tackled by the two crying children and remembered hearing the boy call to someone as 'mommy!' He realized now as the only person next to him was happy and Lucy…
"Your mommy is happy?"
"YOU IDIOT ITS LUCY!!!"
*Nashi yelled at natsu not believing how mommy could have fallen for a man as dumb as natsu.*
"Ahh it's Lucy… wait- LUCY!!!"
*natsu finally catched on as he couldn't believe the girl he just met a day ago was going to be his wife!*
"Yeah it's lu-"
*Nashi trembled as she felt something on her lap had disappeared now… she looked down to search for Liddan but saw he was gone*
"Daddy..? Am I… disappearing?"
*Nashi was afraid now. telling natsu who her mother was had changed the future now as she no longer had Liddan with her.*
"Nashi what's wrong?! No your not disappearing! Why are you shaking?!"
Nashi felt her body grow smaller now as she had reverted back to when she was 4 years old. She couldn't keep up with her advanced thoughts as she turned more into her toddler mentality then her 6 year old self.
"DADDY!!! IM SCAWED!!"
*Nashi reached out her hands to the young natsu now as she was unable to distinguish that this wasn't her real daddy, she had now fully turned back to 4 year old Nashi as she began crying because natsu didn't carry her fast enough..*
"Shit! Shh shh sh, it's okay Nashi don't cry! I'll carrying you just don't cry! Fuck I need to find Lucy!!"
*natsu covered Nashi in a blanket since he finally noticed it was raining outside now as he made a quick sprint twords Lucy's apartment.*
••••••••••••••••
Lucy was about to leave her apartment until she heard a knock on her window inside her apartment. It was raining so she had to go change her clothes priority to keep herself and the clothes she managed to get for Nashi dry.
She walked back into her room as she opened her window by the bed to see natsu sitting holding something in a blanket to his chest. The thing sounded like a baby crying now as Natsu trembled looking at lucy.
"She was crying.. I saw Liddan dissapear… she began to shrink.. lucy.. Help her please!"
*natsu was desperate as he came inside and placed Nashi on the bed who was soaked and crying. She had stopped shrinking and was a 1 year old who barely was able to understand what was going on.*
"What's wrong natsu! She looks fine! She needs to get out of these clothes now! Oh my mavis I knew I shouldn't have left you with her!"
*lucy was about to fetch the clothes she bought on her way here from her bag that contained now diapers, a milk bottle, and some wipes and formula as natsu stopped her to ask her a important question.*
"Lucy! How many kids called me daddy today?!"
"What do you mean natsu? You don't have kids, plus hurry up and dry yourself up. Your wetting my rug with your wet feet and get that dirty blanket off my bed too.."
*lucy fuzed now at how did a empty bag was thrown in her room. She brushed it off as just her being forgetful and went to put it away.*
Natsu stared at the blanket he had carried Nashi in at disbelief that she was gone..
'Nashi, Nashi, Nashi….. Liddan? I can't forget them! Nashi and Liddan! They are here! I know it!'
Natsu quickly wrote there names on a tag he found on Lucy's table as he wrote down the most important things Nashi had told him to remember.
"Na-shi, Lid-don, um! Lucy getting stabbed! Pregnant with liddao! Save her and don't summon dragon!"
*natsu had to say it out loud as he finished writing and sighed as all the memories of Nashi he had left now began to fade away.. he began crying now as he crumbled the paper and fell to his knees and curled up with the dirty blanket he brought with himself.*
"Natsu? What's wrong?! Are you hurt?"
*lucy asked now as she worried about natsu who was crying into a dirty blanket on the floor cradling it like a child.*
"I.. didn't even get to say goodbye …"
*lucy didn't know what happened to natsu but she began to grow tears as she watched natsu cry into the blanket, soon he had stopped crying as he questioned her why was he crying into his dirty blanket from his home..*
(Author: in this last scene I'm describing how one change in time immediately effects the timeline!! I hate when stories take their time without having changes done as it progresses. But as I wrote this, it made me realize how scary it would be to be the person dissapearing and being the person watching your child show so much fear of dying or going somewhere they didn't know and you had no power over it!!! Time travel is pretty scary stuff so be wary about it if you ever travel in time…)
