Natsu's POV

"Natsu, when do you plan on heading home?" Mira questions me.

I look over to her, "How am I suppose to go home with Nashi?"

Majority of the guild has left, including master. It's only Mira, Nashi, and I.

"Here I'll close the bar and help you with her at your house," She says kindly.

Mira closes the bar and walks out of the guild hall I follow slowly behind her with Nashi in my hands. Mira starts to talk about random things, but all I can think about is the smell. The smell Nashi has, those little brown orbs. They're so much like her.

"Natsu."

"Natsuuuuu."

"Natsu Dragneel."

"Natsu motherfucking Dragneel."

"Oops my language!"

I come back to reality, "Oh hi."

Her face goes stern, "We are at your house."

"Oh," I manage to say before she pulls me in.

She walks into my room, "Okay tomorrow is a big day for your little brain- maybe I'm not for sure yet, sooooo you better take care of this lil thing well. If you don't, I will personally kill you!"

I sweat drop.

"Since you don't have a crib or anything, which doesn't surprise me, you two will have to sleep together.... oh boy," Mira sighs.

She picks Nashi up and places her on a pillow, "Rule one! Don't suffocate her, aka don't let her turn downward on a pillow. Rule two! Make sure when she cries you figure out what she wants. Rule three! Be careful with her, if you dare let anything happen to her, be prepared to face the wrath of around five people."

I gulp, "K then..."

"Well, bye Natsu! Good luck," Mira waves as she walks out the door.

I look towards Nashi. Why is she so alike her? Why her though? Those sweet little chocolate orbs. The smell of sweet vanilla and strawberries with a hint of ink and paper.

My head is now propped up by my hand and elbow on a pillow, "Nashi, I promise I will find your mother. For your sake."

My eyes slowly close and sleep consumes my body.

Mira's POV

It's around seven, so I better go and wake Natsu up.

"Kinana please takeover the bar for me! I need to go get Natsu," I wave as I exit the door.

I'm glad Natsu is so dense.. otherwise he might've put the clues together and start suspecting something.

By standers wave at me as I exit the city's entrance and head into the woods. I walk along his little dirt road and see his little house. Wiggling the door knob a bit, I manage to open the door. I tiptoe down the hall towards his newest room.

"IT'S SO ADORABLE! OH MY GOD!" I whisper shout.

The two are wrapped up together in a little bundle. Natsu has one arm around Nashi and her head tucks into his chest.

I slowly walk over to Natsu and tap him on the shoulder, "Wake upppppp."

"Ughhhhh," he groans, "I'm tired still."

I laugh, "It's almost eight, so get up."

He lifts his head slowly, surprisingly handling Nashi carefully, and making eye contact with me.

"How can you smile about being up so early?! You're insane!" He exclaims.

"Just get up master has something important to tell you!" I usher him, "I'll take the sleeping Nashi while you get ready. Be quick!"

I walk out the door with Nashi and her things. We walk through town to the guild once again.

"Where's Natsu?" Erza asked.

I sigh, "Getting ready, but this morning those two were so adorable! They both had cuddled into each other."

"Awwwwww," a few surrounding guild members said.

Just then Natsu walks in coming up to me, "Do what did gramps want me for?"

Oh boy.

"C-Come with me... Girls it's time," I manage to choke out.

Master decided to tell Natsu the truth last night...

I knock on the office door, "Come in."

Master's smile fades realizing the situation we are in, "Take a seat my boy, and Mira leave Nashi please."

I hand her over to Natsu and the rest of us walk out the door.

Makarov's POV

"Natsu I know you have seen the how alike Nashi is to Lucy. And the fact that you are similar to her," I say while mentally preparing myself for his reaction, "Do not take this badly, please."

He tenses up, "What is it gramps?"

"Nashi is Lucy's daughter."

Tears prick the corner of his eyes, his mouth falls, and his eyes widen.

"W-Who's the father?" He chokes.

I sigh, "You."

He buries his head into his hands mumbling something inaudible.

Natsu's POV

It was that night. That amazing night caused all of this. I'm not mad or anything, I'm disappointed in myself. Why didn't I notice? Why didn't I say something the next day. We clearly loved each other... did she not think I'd not accept Nashi? Is that why I get the little feeling when I'm around Nashi? Is this what it means to be a dad?

"Gramps, I'm happy to be a dad. I just wish she would've told me," I smile, "When we find Luce I won't let her leave again."

I look down at Nashi, "I'm proud to be your dad."
