Natsu sat down with the triplets outside with each one inside their own basket… he had forgotten to ask Lucy what she had named them so was awkward on how to call his children… where they nameless??
"Papa... the one with blond hairs is called "leia and jue.."
*Nashi helped her father as she stared at her father watching the two sleeping blonde's. But then he turned to the third baby who was fixated on natsu.. he was awake but quiet.. almost studying him even though he could barely make out his blurry figure.*
"And this one?.."
"Mama said she had named him after your papa, papa.. his name is Igneel…"
*liddan interrupted Nashi as he replied to his father who he sat by his side pointing at 'Igneel' baby who didn't have blond hair but a fiery red hair instead of pink. His name fit him…*
"Yeah!! Because he has super red hair like a dragon!! LIKE THIS, ROOAAARRRR!!!"
*Nashi forgetting what her mother had said about scarring the babies roared a small fire breath startling Igneel. And waking up poor leia and jue.*
The three babies began to pout and puff some whines as they began to cry in harmony… natsu covered his ears as the sudden cry hurt his hearing and Liddan smacked Nashi in the head for being dumb.
"Oops- I forgot to be quiet, hehehe~"
"It's alright kids! Don't cry, papa is here now.."
*natsu tried calming them but failed as they looked at natsu and began crying more.. they did not recognize him as their father.*
"Maannn… Nashi, Liddan.. how does your mommy make them stop crying?"
*natsu asked as he panicked and looked for advice from his 6 and 5 year old…*
"Mommy usually walks one in her arms until they come down and picks up the other."
*liddan replied as he had observed his mother care for the babies more then Nashi… Nashi was always sent outside or to the corner because she would always wake the babies up.*
"Yeah! Sometimes she also feeds them three bottles at once!"
* Nashi expressed as she held up 3 fingers showing her father how smart she was.*
"That's very good to know but none of that is helping me to calm them down.."
*natsu began carrying the first baby that was leia who stopped crying when she opened her eyes to see some pink hair.. she right away grabbed natsu's hair thinking it was Nashi as the baby giggled at natsu's screams of help.*
That seem to do the trick as the other two boys stopped crying in there baskets as they watched a funny man carry something and make funny faces.. they began to giggle as the funny pink man kept making sound effects that even Nashi and Liddan laughing.
"Mann… do I have to be hurt for all of you to laugh at your poor father?"
*natsu sighed in defeat as he managed to unhook leia's hand away from his hair and put her back in her basket.*
'Wha-? No come back! I'm not playing with you funny pink monster!'
"Ahh-Ahhh, Ahh-Ahhh"
*leia stretched her little arms as natus saw her trying her best to grab him. He couldn't help how cute his daughter looked right now as he carried her again to rub his nose with hers.*
"Aww do you already know I'm your daddy? Awww your just so cute!"
*natsu began to cuddle her as she grabbed his hair again to bite it. But Nashi wasn't to happy seeing her papa give her new sister attention she wanted too.*
Nashi pouted as she crossed her arms, she then leaned on her fathers back where he sat as she gave him a big hug too.
"Papa! I'm also a baby! Carry me!"
*at this natsu looked at her with a raised brow and cackled, was his Nashi jealous??*
"Oh Nashi, haha….. don't worry you will always be my first baby girl I held… I still remember when you wouldn't stop crying until I held you.."
*natsu told Nashi of his memory as she looked at her father in big sparkling caramel eyes*
That's when a smell invaded natsu's sense of smell. which made him pinch his nose, he looked at the two baby boys looking at him like they didn't do anything wrong.
"Daddy… it was Igneel, I can smell it.."
*liddan pinched his nose to as he was closer to his siblings and pushed the basket for natsu to place leia back in.*
"I'll go get you the stuff papa!!"
*Nashi went running to go get the 'emergency bag' her mommy always called it as natsu prepared a space to change Igneel.*
That's when hell broke lose…
Leia saw her new 'toy' pick up another baby so she began to cry to get picked up again…
Jue was already scared by the sudden crying but when he heard Nashi come back with a roaring 'I GOT IT!!' He began to cry too.
As for igneel, he didn't like to get his diapers changed. So with all his might, he kept kicking making natsu's job harder then it already was.
"No kidding lucy was so exhausted…"
*natsu felt like this was going to be his life as Nashi rubbed a clean diaper in his face while Liddan plugged his ears…*
•••••••••••••••••••••
-1 year later-
Natsu looked at himself in the mirror, he looked older now… of course he looked like a dad but his hair style didn't fit him anymore. His crazy short hair made him look dirty and kinda weird, he decided then to change his appearance a bit.
"There… that looks a bit better.."
*natsu grinned at himself as his reflection smiled back. He never liked facial hair and never grew out a proper mustache so he didn't need to worry about that. He opened the bathroom as he walked out.*
"Wake up kids!! I already know your hiding, so come downstairs and eat your breakfast!"
*natsu yelled as he smirked and walked downstairs to prepare the table where Lucy was found cooking. She had decided to keep her hair short too. But was unaware of her husband's new look as she kept cooking.*
"How's my love doing?"
*natsu hugged lucy from behind as he burried his nose into her neck.*
"I'm great…"
"Oh? Really? Then how's our twins?"
*natsu rubbed Lucy's baby bump as she served the breakfast on a plate. She giggled as she wasn't surprised this time around about having twins but her and natsu already decided this would be the last time they would be having kids again.*
"They are great too, mr. dragneel. They are growing healthy and warm."
"I'm glad.."
Natsu spun lucy around as she finally caught a look at the 'new' natsu. He looked dashing, and refreshed. Lucy felt herself blush as she had when back then when natsu had tooken her out on their first date. She touched his hair out of instincts as she tugged at the short hair with her finger tips.
"Do you like?.."
"Hmm.. maybe… it's something different.. plus you still look like you.."
*lucy pinched his nose with some whip cream leaving him with a white nose. She finally placed the last plates on the table as there was a total of seven plates. Each one held their own personality as one plate was burned from one edge as another had a bite tooken out of it. And finally the last three where color coded. The other 2 that where still in good shape and matching pair was assumed to be Lucy's and natsu's plates.*
"Nashi! Come out already! Your father called you and all your siblings already, I won't hesitate to let your dad eat all of your breakfasts too!"
*lucy finally put her fist down as suddenly 3 triplets came running out from outside as Nashi came jumping out of the couch?! And Liddan was the last one to come out of there pantry..*
"Mmm! Mom-ma's burned waffles!!"
*nashi exclaimed as she took one of the burned pancakes from the counter which Lucy was going to throw away.*
"Nashi don't you dare eat that!- leia! Hold on don't put your fingers inside there young lady!"
*lucy fought with the two girls who were very rumbuctions of the whole family. The boys seemed to be more calm and obedient… which was weird on so many levels.*
As the family ate there fill, finishing everything. Nashi dragged Liddan with her as they were late for 'school' at the fairy tail guild where aunt levy had tooken the responsibility to teach the kids. Lucy dressed the triplets as natsu finish bathing one by one. They had figured a system out as they worked together to get things done.
They really where a happy and crazy family.
