Natsu finally returned back to Lucy's apartment as he fished out a big fish from the lake him and happy would fish from as he also bought some vegetables from the market, he was already taught what vegetables he should buy from Lucy who had nagged him he can't make a bad parent figure if he only showed his kids to eat meat. So of course he would surge himself a big portion of veggies and a even portion of meat to trick the kids to eating their vegetables like 'papa'.
Natsu came in as usual through the window scarring the crap out of Lucy, Liddan, and Nashi who had just tooken a bath as he carried inside the fish on his back and a heavy sack of lettuce, radish, onion, tomatoes, and potatoes. He bought on his way here.
"NATSU!! Use the door would ya!!!"
*lucy complained as she wore her towel around her body and was having a hard time trying to dress two butt naked kids who where running away from her.*
"Luce, you know I always come through the window.. it would be a crime if I came in through the door after all these years.."
*natsu smiled at her with a silly grin and placed the wrapped fish on the floor with the sack of veggies.*
"Liddan! Liddan! I forgot to tell you! I saw daddy kissing mommy like this!"
*Nashi smashed her cheeks with both of her palms as she closed her eyes and made a funny face which Liddan laughed.*
"Nashi! Don't go saying that!! That's embarrassing!!"
*natsu barked at his rascal of a daughter as he glared at her with a very red blush present on his cheeks.*
"Mommy and Daddy sitting on a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes a kiss! Then comes marriage! And finally comes a Baby-! AHHHHH!"
*Nashi repeated the song she heard from letisha who sang it for Laurie after she saw her brother giving Nashi a flower. After Nashi finished her chant she saw her daddy marching twords her as she screamed in a laughing fit and began to runaway from him still in all her naked butts glory*
"NASHI DRAGNEEL!!!! LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER AND PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!!!"
*natsu roared with authority and intimidation making Nashi flinch as she listened to her father finally to walk to her mother who had dressed Liddan already.*
"Yes pa-pa.."
"Thanks natsu, I needed your help today with getting Nashi to listen.."
*lucy sighed as she began drying Nashi's hair and putting on her clothes. She didn't notice but her towel was coming undone and natsu's blush worsened as he caught a clear view of her cleavage.*
"N-no problem luce,…."
*natsu decided to grab her towel from the front where it was coming undone as he pulled it up a bit to cover her cleavage as he held it up now waiting for Lucy to finish.*
"Oh! Thanks natsu! Why are you being so helpful today?"
*lucy asked as she replaced natsu's hand with hers now as she stood up straight now.*
"Because daddy wants more kissy-kissy! AHHH!!"
"Why you-!"
*natsu made a threatening stomp to chase the kids out the bedroom now. They only giggled and went running to the living room where the big fish was and sack of veggies.*
Natsu realized now they were alone again, feeling the heat from earlier he stuck his hands in his pockets as a way to prevent himself from touching Lucy again until lucy presented a piece of old paper to him.
"Take a look at this natsu, I found it under my old mattress I left here while cleaning up… it's so weird huh? Why would it have mine and the kids names on it?"
*lucy changed infront of natsu as she gave him her back, in which he did the same as he really didn't need to pop another boner again but instead focused on the paper in his hands.*
"Hey luce… where did you get this from?"
"I told you already .. I found it under my mattress tucked away.. why? Is it yours?"
*natsu stayed silent as he kept looking at the paper, he suddenly remembered the last memories of him crying on the floor with a rough blanket he used to hold 'something' he couldn't quite remember well.. but after seeing the paper afterwards always freshen his memory that the thing he held was Nashi who had traveled from the future approximately 15 years from the future instead of the 3 years she thought. He finally figured it out after they all got stuck in the 7 years asleep on fairy tail island, plus the 3 years he got to know lucy more as a partner then a lover. And finally the birth of Nashi brought him crying as he finally heard her cries again after 10 years of waiting. He started crying anew as he thought back the journey he had tooken to wait for Nashi to be born again, lucy noticed he was crying as she had finished getting dressed and gone infront of him now holding his hands with the paper.*
"Natsu?… what is it?…"
"Oh luce… it's … it's just so many things happened back then… they are just a bit sad to remember now…"
*natsu simply said as he didn't wish to tell Lucy of how he had seen their daughter when he first met her, and how she seize to exist right after… it was always going to be a painful memory so he decided to only bare the pain on his own and smile forwards from now on.*
"Hmm.. natsu your keeping something away from me again…"
"Yes lucy, I am but it doesn't matter now since it already happened.."
*before lucy could argue back with him, they heard a small knock from the door*
"Daddy..?"
*Nashi came in the room with Liddan behind her as natsu turned around to see his beautiful daughters face… he walked to her as he carried her and swung her in circles earning her a laugh and giggle.*
"What is it my princess?"
*natsu not feeling sad anymore asked Nashi as she wrapped her arms around his neck as he carried her.*
"There's a naked man waiting outside.."
*Nashi said as she grinned which made lucy and natsu dumbfoundedly crack the peaceful atmosphere that had filled the room.*
"What??"
"Yeah, he has black hair and said to go call my mommy and the dumb flames for no brains.."
*Nashi clueless of who was the man outside waiting with a table at his side, lucy finally realized she had called grey to do her a favor of bringing a table to the at on for the time being. He agreed as he was outside running errands already.*
"Oi!! Who you calling 'Flames for no brains'?! You Icicle dick!!"
*natsu stomped out of the bedroom as he met grey who stood in the empty living room with a small table for a family of 4 to eat.*
"Says the one who cussed infront of his kids..!"
*grey smiled smuggly as he hinted natsu at the little girl who looked at her daddy as she observed him acting like a kid.*
"Ahh… well… what are you doing here Grey?…"
*natsu calmed down as he couldn't say anything else but just find out why he was here.*
"I'm just here running a errand for Lucy, she mentioned you couldn't help her with getting a table so she asked me to get her one whenever I could .. I'm out getting some extra diapers and milk for jay."
*grey said it as nothing of natsu's concern as he bid farewell to Lucy and left in a hurry as he had picked up his communicator lacrima where juvia was sobbing now because little jay wouldn't stop crying.*
"Hey luce.."
"Yeah?"
*lucy began cleaning the table as she dragged it twords the kitchen area where she used to have her table back then as natsu helped her move it.*
"Whose jay?"
"You don't know? Jay is Grey's 1 month old son.. he and juvia had a baby shower before she gave birth not so long ago…"
*lucy looked at him weirdly as natsu's jaw dropped.*
"That icicle prick had a son???!!"
"Yeah natsu! And watch your language!"
*lucy bonked him on the head with her hand gently as he apologized again, while Nashi and liddan waited for lunch to be prepared..*
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
It's was getting ready for the sun to go down as lucy and her family had a productive day of buying 2 more chairs, buying more snacks, and getting more blankets and pillows for her to sleep on the floor.
"Natsu are you sure you still feel incapable of controlling yourself? I mean you were well behaved today, we can just sleep in different rooms back at home.."
*lucy was a bit worried as natsu got ready to leave back to their residence, he was sitting by the window watching the sun began to set as he huffed a flame out.*
"Yes lucy, I'm sorry I have to let you stay here with nothing comfortable to sleep on, but it's for your own good and mine if I just isolate myself from any chances. Plus I'll be fine."
*natsu smiled lightly as he really didn't want to leave her or his kids here but, after this morning's almost caught incident… he didn't want to another chance of Nashi or Liddan see him ravishing their mother before there innocent eyes.*
"Daddy!!! Don't leave us!!! I promise to use my fire more!!"
*liddan began crying as he began to feel love sick for his fathers love as he clung to his arm.*
"Liddan… don't be sad… daddy won't leave you ever! But there's something daddy needs to take care of back at home and he doesn't want you or Nashi to see it… so wait for me and when I'm done I'll teach you to use your magic, deal?"
*natsu gave Liddan a simple but vague explanation that was simple for Liddan to agree to it. Natsu now really didn't want to leave his kids as something felt like it would break if he heard them cry for him.*
"Liddan don't listen to daddy! He doesn't live us anymore and that's why he's leaving us and mommy to go with another mommy!"
*Nashi yelled as she folded her arms and teary eyes that filled with sadness. Lucy tried talking to her now and explain that wasn't the case but natsu stopped lucy as he got off the bed and walked to Nashi and kneeled infront of her to tell her with all his honesty.*
"Nashi, your the last person I would want to leave ever… your to young to understand now but when you get older I'll tell you a bunch of things I wish to tell you now… so if you still love your daddy inside here.."
*natsu place his finger on her chest gently twords her heart.*
"Then I only ask for you to trust your daddy… I love you, Liddan, and most of all your mommy with all my heart and life… do you understand?"
Natus looked at Nashi, as he began to get up now because Nashi didn't respond to him. He almost toppled over as he felt a warm figure wrap around his neck as Nashi began to wail into his chest.. the sun has set already and natsu really needed to go now… he felt his rut becoming stronger now as he began to sweat and slightly have a hard time breath but he suppressed all of it a bit more to pat Nashi's back and cry a bit too with her…
"Nashi… daddy will be back tomorrow morning… I need you to protect mommy until I get back… daddy loves you and will tell you about how he defeated a dragon once when I come back… now… can you let me go?"
*natsu felt a lump in his throat as he saw Nashi let him go and suppressed her crying as much as she could. Lucy hugged her next as Liddan hugged Nashi's back. Natsu saw that his kids where finally emotionally okay now he couldn't hold back anymore as his appearance changed into that of his demon form but suppressed any pants as to not catch his kid's attentions. Lucy motioned her hand to go now, as he didn't respond back and jumped out the window. He sprinted twords the dragneels residence as his hot tears still remained in his eyes.*
'I'm sorry Nashi, I'm sorry daddy isn't strong enough to control this ugly part of me yet..'
Natsu finally made it to the residence as he collapsed on the ground letting the waves of his rut take over now and felt only the pain in his heart as he remembered his crying children …
(Author: ;-; why must I create such heartbreaking situations??? Anyways… I really liked how this turned out and sorry it took longer now since I have exams and stuff but like I said I'll continue the story until I'm satisfied with the end.. I won't spoil yet all but this story will end when all the Dragneel kids finally accept or understand each other.. having said that
Thank you for reading!!
