Titania and the Card Mage's Little Dragon

Chapter Thirty Nine A mother's job is never complete

September 25th

(Erza Scarlet) Natsu please come to my office dear because we have something to discuss I called through the intercom that is on my desk, I sat at my desk looking at the bill of damages that Natsu had helped to cause at the guild a few days ago, A few minutes later the door to my office opened and Natsu shuffled into my office before he sat down in front of my desk, After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence Natsu asked Am I in trouble Mama?

No dear you aren't in trouble I just wanted to talk to you about something that I learned about yesterday, Does the name Maelys Dragneel ring a bell to you? Natsu shifted uncomfortably in the seat and after another minute passed Natsu said in a whisper Maelys is my older half sister Mama! Please don't be made at me for not revealing this information about my half siblings Mama! I stood up from my desk and I walked around the desk.

Once I had gotten around my desk I knelt down in front of my adopted son and I said I'm not mad at you hunny even though I'm a little disappointed that you didn't tell me or your mommy about either of your half siblings I understand that you must've had a good reason to not tell us, Natsu leapt into my open arms and he laid his head against my chest, Oh hunny it's okay I said as I gently stroked his back.

Natsu then said Maelys and Sarthurnax were Igneel's first litter of hatchlings prior to him finding me and taking me into his care, I only knew Mae and Sarth one year prior to their abduction by Acnologia when they were still just little hatchlings like I was at the time it was a very traumatic experience to witness my older brother and sister get take away from Igneel myself and Igneel's mate, I could tell that Natsu was starting to get upset by having to describe everything that happened in detail.

Oh honey I'm sorry for making you relive all of these unpleasant memories that you had to remember, I know what it feels like to have to go through a situation like that remember what I told you about what I went through prior to joining Fairy Tail? Natsu nodded his head and he said I remember mama! In regards to our similar situations we are kindred spirits.

I placed a kiss on Natsu's forehead I promise that if I have any say in the matter your mommy myself and the rest of the guild will do almost anything to reunite you with your older half siblings! Natsu looked up at me with eyes full of happiness and wonder Really Mama?

Really my little dragon I promise that we will do whatever it takes to get you and your siblings reunited, I then started to hum an old lullaby that mom used to sing to me prior to her initial abandoning me as an infant, Natsu drifted off to sleep in my arms and I couldn't help but smile at how peaceful he looks while he sleeps. I will keep this promise to him even if I have move all of Earthland and the stars.
