-Time skip: 2 months later-

It's now autumn.

The day we're going meet is coming near.

Is he still mad at me?

I told Natsu a little bit of information about Rogue.

I never had the courage to tell him the whole story.

I asked Capricorn to drive me to Laxus-nii's mansion.

I heard Romeo will be staying there until Rogue comes to Japan.

I rang the bell of their home and was greeted shortly by Laxus-nii's bear hug.

"Glad you could make it, squirt!" he grinned.

"Of course! Did you think I would just bawl on a corner or something?" I teased and made him ruffle my hair.

He eyed my outfit with satisfaction.

"Now that's more like it!" he smiled widely.

"'Welcome home, Lucy!" Makarov-oji san greeted.

Yep.

That's our principal right there!

"Tadaima, oji-san!" I greeted as I hugged him.

We all laughed until we heard a certain voice.

"Lucy-nee?" a twelve year old little boy asked skeptically from the top of the stairs.

"ROMEO!" I cheerfully greeted.

He ran and tightly grip his arms on my waist.

"I missed you, Lucy- nee!" he sobbed.

"I missed you too! You've grown!" I say as I crouch to level my height with him.

"Of course! I've got to grow up just like him!" he blurts out cheerfully.

"Come. Let me play the piano for you!" I say as I led him to the music room.

Before I sat down on the piano stool, I turned to look at Makarov-oji san.

"Why didn't you tell Laxus-nii that I was studying in your school?" I teased.

"Old man, you've got some explaining to do!" Laxus-nii crossed his arms in disappointment.

"Well, I wanted you and Mavis to see for yourself!" he reasoned.

"The hell? After 3 years?" Laxus-nii exploded.

"Well, the thought eventually slipped off." Makarov-oji san mumbled.

Romeo and I laughed at that.

I sat on the piano with Romeo by my side.

I played an instrumental for him.

(A/N: The song/instrumental is posted on the multimedia page.)

When I finished playing, I found Romeo sleeping peacefully in my lap.

I didn't even notice.

"That was beautifully played, Lucy." Makarov-oji san complimented.

"Thank you." I smiled gently as I played with Romeo's hair.

'You know, It'd be better if you-' Laxus-nii was about to say, but I cut him right off.

"Nope. Not until this little guy asks." I say simply as I ruffled Romeo's hair gently.
