*Slight Spoilers*

Cynthia's POV

"I said I'm sorry! Please believe me, it was an accident! Besides you were the one who bumped into me in the first place!" Sting groaned and I rolled my eyes as we continued to walk towards our destination.

"Sting bee is a baka as always!" Harumi giggled and I smirked.

"He always was." I added in happily, in a teasing way.

"You agree with her?! Come on Cee-chan! You know it's not true!" Sting pouted.

"Yada."

"Please!"

"Nope."

"Baby?"

"..."

"Babe?"

"..."

"Why are you giving me the silent treatment now, Cee-chan?! I love youuu!" he whined.

"..."

"Sweetcheeks?, Honeybunch?, Darling?, My love?" he continued to say random nicknames as I started to get annoyed with, but laughed in my mind as to how childish he is being.

"Ah! Shut up will ya?!" Rogue shouted as an irk mark appeared on his head.

"Fro agrees with Rogue~" Frosch said nonchalantly.

"G-Gomen... Sting-kun. But I have to agree with them." Lector sweatdropped.

"Annoying baka Sting bee." Harumi stuck her tongue out as Sting snarled at all of them.

"Shut it! All of you! Please Cee-chan! Talk to me! I'm sorry!" he whined as I felt his presence getting closer to me. As he was getting closer, I instantly grabbed onto Harumi's tiny hand and began to speed walk, avoiding this boyfriend of mine.

"Cynthia Adara come back to me this instant!" Sting barked and I continued to ignore him.

"Mommy... he looks messed up." Harumi whispered and I chuckled lightly.

"That's okay Harumi-chan. Mommy likes to see him like this." I smirked.

"Oh? So you talk to Harumi-chan but not me?!" Sting groaned.

"..." I still didn't bother to answer, but continued to mess with him for a bit until we got there.

"Cynthiaaa~ my loveee~" he sing songed.

"Cynthia-chan! Please say something so this dummy can shut up!" Rogue hissed.

"No can do." I chirped and continued to speed walk.

"What?!" Rogue barked and I grinned. Of course all of them couldn't see my evil face, except for little Harumi who was smiling. It's bad of me to do this and show this evil face to a child, huh?

What kind of mother would I be?

A badass one, for sure.

"Baby please talk to me!" Sting called.

"Cynthia-chan! Please answer Sting-kun..." Lector anime cried.

"Fro thinks so, too." Forsch nodded vigorously.

"Yada." I replied calmly.

"Mushroom!" I heard Sting to call out with a smirk, making me to stop in my tracks. "Mushroom, mushroom, mushroom! Come here my sexy mushroom~" Sting continued to cooe.

"Here we go." Rogue face palmed.

"What did you call me?" I instantly turned to fully face a smirking Sting. 'That little... using that hideous nickname I hated when we were kids. Also the nickname, when he tried to think of one for me when we were kids. This boyfriend of mine needs a beating... He's so on.'

"Mushroom. I love youuu."

"You wanna say that again?" I roared.

"Mush.Room." he taunted, making me to puff my cheeks and I was instantly on the verge of punching Sting on the head right now.

"Harumi-chan... please go to Lector, frosch and Uncle Rogue." I softly said.

"S-Sure... mommy." she nodded and walked towards them. As soon as she was near them, I cracked my knuckles to a smirking Sting in front of me.

"Mushroom~" he mocked again as irk marks were appearing on my head.

"... You wanna go that way, huh, Sting-kun? Someone needs their punishment." I smiled innocently, but cursed within.

"Bring it, Mushroom baby." he said as I walked over to him.

-----

"I-Itai!" he winced as he was on the ground, twitching as Rogue, Lector and Frosch stared in shock. Along with Harumi who was laughing her butt off, making me to smirk in triumph.

"Still an idiot." Rogue sighed.

"Fro thinks so, too!"

"S-Sting-kun..." Lector gasped in worry at his best friend who was still twitching.

"We're here." I said, turning my body away from them and to look down to see debris everywhere, soldiers were beaten and already knocked out on the ground. Not too mention my comrades who were down there making me to smile.

There was really only one guild. The top and strongest guild in Fiore who are known for destroying a lot of things.

And that was my guild, my family.

Fairy Tail.

The Fairy Tail of whom I've always grown up with since I was small.

But I have this feeling of bittersweetness.

I'm lost.

Conflicted about my guild and with Sabertooth, with Sting.

But now is not the time to think about that.

"They're really here..." I softly said to see Team Natsu together, along with a few others who looked like that they were fine and safe.

"You're f-friends mommy?" Harumi softly said and I nodded.

"Yeah. There's Natsu, Lucy-chan, Happy, Gray-san, Erza-san, Wendy-chan, Carla, Juvia-san, Gajeel-san, Levy-chan and Lily." I smiled to see all of them cheering in victory after their battle with Avatar.

However... I slightly frowned to not see the one person I love so much.

My cousin, Asuna.

Figures, since she's probably still on her journey... she does love to take long jobs. I guess she wouldn't be coming home any time soon.

"Oh, come on. We were worried and so we came all the way out here only to find..." Sting sweat dropped as he stood beside me. Regaining himself after my powerful punches I gave him a few moments ago.

"Them finished without being beaten. That's Fairy Tail for you." I smiled as tears were slowly forming in the corner of my eyes.

"I can't believe they finished off that massive army with so few people..." Rogue muttered.

"There just isn't any beating them, is there?" Sting grinned as he bent down towards Lector who smiled.

"There isn't silly..." I giggled.

"When they get together like that, it really is a sight to see." Lector grinned as Harumi was playing with his ears, which he didn't seem to mind. "You think so too, don't cha' Fro?"

"Uh oh..." I muttered as my face drained.

"Wha?! Frosch is missing!" Lector exclaimed as Harumi looked at Lector in confusion but later shocked to see that Frosch was missing.

"What?!" Sting and I yelled in unison.

"Frosch!" Rogue yelled.

"Ah!" Sting squeaked as we all turned to see that Frosch was already down there with my comrades, the exceeds Happy, Lily and Carla.

"When'd he get down there?!" Sting shouted.

"I-It's like he teleported there!" I stammered in a stunned manner to watch Gray with Lector, along with Natsu who gave a pissed off and worried look at first. But later grinned to see Gray hugging Frosch in a very adorable way. Was I missing something here?

"That bastard... he's trying to steal Frosch!" Rogue barked.

"Nah, he's just showing him how much they love him." Sting interjected and I laughed.

"I think so too." I mimicked Forsch towards Sting who grinned.

"Mmmmmgh." was all from Rogue.

"Let's just go say hi already!" Sting said happily as he took a hold of my hand.

"Fine." Rogue sighed.

Time Skip ~ 2 Hours Later after the Reunion (Too lazy to write it.)

"That was fun." I smiled as I carried Harumi.

"Fun fun!~" Harumi sing songed.

"Yeah. Especially seeing you to be this happy." Sting smiled making me to blush.

"I've missed them to be honest..."

"I know you did, Cee-chan." Sting wrapped an arm around my shoulder and gave a peck on my cheek. "Are you going to that reu-"

"Huh? What were you going to say Sting-kun?" I raised an eyebrow and saw him to chuck nervously.

"I-It's nothing!" he scratched his cheek with his freehand and I shrugged.

"If you say so."

"Geez..." Rogue muttered.

"Oh! D-Do you forgive me Cee-chan after this morning...?" Sting asked sheepishly.

"I don't know..." I bit my lip from giggling.

"Eh? You still won't forgive him?" Lector gawked as Frosch was staring into space.

"Yeah Cee-chan! I won't call you that again... I promise!" Sting anime cried and begged at the same time.

"I forgive you."

"Please forgive me wha-"

"I said I forgive you, Sting-kun." I kissed the tip of his nose to see him grin.

"Yatta!~ I love you Cee-chan! " he cheered and I giggled.

"Love you too weirdo." Sting gave me a soft kiss on the lips before we heard a groan near us and a snort.

"Get a room you two. How many times do I have to repeat myself." Rogue groaned from behind.

"Sting bee is giving mommy cooties." Harumi said in disgust.

"You're just jealous." Sting slightly turned his head to smirk at Rogue as I placed Harumi down on the ground beside me.

"Don't even."

"Jealous~"

"I am not!"

"You want a girl for yourself as well, don't cha' Rogue?" Sting grinned wider as I sweatdropped, along with Harumi who rolled her eyes in annoyance and pulled me to her.

"O-Oi! Harumi! What are you doing?!" Sting shouted and looks like he was losing his balance, to a smirking Harumi.

"Mine! Mommy is mine!" she laughed evilly, as I continued to sweat drop.

"No way!" Sting grabbed my arm, pulling me to him.

"Go go Sting-kun!" Lector cheered.

"Go Harumi!" Frosch giggled.

"Looks who's the jealous one now." Rogue gave a smug look to Sting.

"Shut yer yap!"

"Huh? Harumi.. what's wrong?" I asked worriedly to felt her gently squeeze my hand, along with an alerted look on her face.

"..." was all from her, getting me more and more anxious.

"Oi! Harumi-chan, look! I stole your mommy!" Sting laughed as he pulled me into an embrace, but I felt something wrong...wrong about Harumi who isn't being her usual self.

"Harumi?" Frosch tugged on her dress.

"Is there something wrong Harumi-chan?" Lector asked worriedly.

"H-Hey... Harumi?" I gently shook her but she continued to ignore every single one of us.

"Answer little one." Sting sighed and as soon as he tried to pat her head, but as soon as he tried to do. Harumi instantly dodged it swiftly and started to walk away from us.

'Something is not right.'

"O-Oi! Where are you going? Come back!" Sting hollered in shock.

"Harumi-chan! Don't wander by yourself" I shouted and started to run after her, along with Sting-kun and the others.

"You chased her away because of your face." Rogue muttered to Sting who instantly had irk marks on his head and I sighed but kept my eyes at Harumi who was still walking. Not walking, but like at a very fast speed that I couldn't keep up with. It's strange.

"I'll fly and follow her!" Lector said as he flew quickly towards her.

"Fro will too!"

"We're counting on you two." Sting said as we were running behind them.

"Geez... Harumi is fast on her two little legs." I mumbled.

"You can say that again." Rogue agreed, but we can to an halt to see Harumi who suddenly stopped walking and kept her stare face forwards. Along with Frosch and Lector who were instantly by her side, but Lector flew in front of her face, his eyes slightly widening in wonder.

"Lector! What's wrong?" I gasped for air, as we finally caught up with them.

"H-Hey... Harumi-chan...what's goin' on with ya?" Sting panted and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"D-Daddy is here." she mumbled.

"Wait what?" I said in shock.

"I don't get it... your dad is here?" Rogue asked.

"He's calling for me..." she softly said and started to walk again.

"Oi! What the hell are you talking about Harumi-chan?!" Sting groaned but quickly recovered to chase after her again.

"Let's go!" Rogue said in determination and started to run once more.

"Yeah. I'm worried." I softly mumbled, following behind.

"Harumi-chaaaan!" Frosch and Lector cried to see Harumi getting closer and closer to a forest, follow by a mysterious and eerie feeling that was giving me goosebumps.

"Do you feel that?" Sting asked us as we got near his side.

"Yeah." Rogue muttered.

"I'm getting the chills just thinking about it." I shivered as we saw Harumi to come to a halt once more in front of the forest. But what shocked us was that we saw a shadowed figure to come out from behind one of the trees.

"Harumi-chan!" Lector wailed and tried to pull back, along with Frosch but she didn't even budge.

"Come back here, Harumi!" I said and started to walk up to her side as the figure was making their appearance.

"Oi! Cee-han its dangerous!" Sting yelled and ran after me.

"I can't Sting-kun! I don't want Harumi to be hurt!"

"My precious daughter Harumi..." the figure chuckled as he started to walk towards me and Harumi, feeling that this person was evil. I instinctively hugged Harumi keeping her close to my chest, so that she wouldn't come in contact with this stranger

"Daddy!" Harumi giggled and tried to push me off, but I obliged and kept her tighter.

"H-Harumi-chan..." I nuzzled in her neck.

"Mommy... let go of me. That's daddy. We can be a family together once more." Harumi's grinned, making me to go in shock and in confusion. I don't know why, but I was suddenly forced to quickly let go of her from my arms.

"W-What the hell is going on?" Sting hollered as he protectively stood in front of me to see Harumi now walking towards the figure.

"H-Harumi-chan..." I felt hot tears to come at the corner of my eyes.

"Cynthia-chan...", "Cynthia." I heard Lector and Frosch to snuggle up to me for comfort as I stood frozen.

"Something's not right!" Rogue shouted.

"I'm back daddy!" Harumi chirped and hugged the figure in a loving way, making my insides to twist and turn. I gazed to see the shadowed figure to gently pick her up in their arms, hugging them closer to their chest.

My eyes lingered over them for a moment to see that his appearance being casted over by the sun to show his features. He has messy dark blonde hair and dazzling green eyes that matched Harumi's.

No kidding, they really did look alike.

He was wore a casual outfit, nothing too complicated. A pair of black jeans, black shoes, along with a brown vest that looks like it, a black tee underneath and a green coat to over top it with. Along with two piercings on his left ear.

"Welcome back Harumi. I see you've brought company." he chuckled.

"Rogue..." Frosch quivered and hid behind Rogue's cape.

"It's okay Frosch... I'm with you." Rogue smiled down at his exceed.

"Lector stay back." Sting said, not taking his off from the new person and Harumi.

"Ah h-hai! Sting-kun!" Lector gave a nervous laugh and hid behind me.

"Hai! Papa! I've brought mommy with me too." she giggled as I mentally felt myself to sink.

"She's not you're mommy dammit!" Sting roared feeling uncertain of Harumi's true self and towards the figure. "Who the hell are you?"

"I see... Harumi, let daddy do the talking alright? You've done quite enough and I am proud of you." he figure placed Harumi down on the ground and she nodded.

"Yes papa and thank you." she softly said.

"You bastard! We're you using Harumi as a tool?!" I shouted.

"Cee-chan..." Sting stared at me with sad eyes then glared towards the dad of Harumi. "You're a horrible father."

"Quite impatient you are. Allow me to introduce myself... I am Yorii." he respectfully bowed making me to feel uncertain.

"Meaning a servant to the public." I said, narrowing my eyes to see a grin plastered on his face.

"That is correct Cynthia Adara."

"W-Wha..." I stammered in shock.

"H-How did you know her name?!" Sting barked in confusion.

"What else do you know about her?" Rogue asked, gritting his teeth.

"Let's just say that I am here to pick up what's rightfully ours. Our queen for our Emperor." he gave a small smirk.

"Q-Queen? Not this shit again." I groaned and mentally slapped myself for swearing in front of little Harumi.

"Not on my watch, I won't let you take her! I won't let anyone take her away from me again!" Sting growled.

"I have not come here for a fight but for a request, upon the Emperor himself."

"Who is this Emperor of yours, you speak of?" I said seriously, my tone grew cold.

"Lord Zeref."

Instantly, my world came crashing down.
