Erza Scarlet is a busy taking care of her child, after all she's a single parent. Her name is Wendy, she was her mother's light. After she was accepted on a job, she needed to work all day. But before that, there's this man with a blue hair, often help her babysit.

Jellal Fernandes, her neighbor and her best friend. He has blue hair, green eyes, and a red tattoo on her eye. He helps her taking care of her child. He gladly accept to watch her house and her daughter, when she's in work. He would do anything for her because he is madly in love with her. The little girl would call him Jelly-kun because it was cute.

Early in the morning, he would go to her house and see her, wearing her uniform. She always looks so beautiful with her green blouse and her skirt and her hair in a pony tail. But she looks more dazzling with her scarlet hair loose. And with that she dash out.

There in the table he saw Erza's note for him. It was about the task she assigned him to do while she is gone to work. First, when he saw Wendy goes down the stairs, he must ready the cereals she will eat. After eating, she will take a bath. Second, she will only watch shows or movies that are appropriate for kids, they would watch Pokemon and sometimes he would bring dvds like Despicable Me, Inside Out and many more, he would also bring popcorns. Then they will have lunch, sometimes he cooks or sometimes he buys. Last, in the afternoon, he will bring her to the park, they would play in the swing, the slide. One time she even called her daddy which made him choke the ice cream he was eating. When they get home he will see Erza, waiting for them. Wendy would hugged her mommy and get inside. She even joked that he was the real father which made him surprised and then laughed.

One day, he was in his house, sleeping when he heard a knock that cause him to fell from the couch. He quickly get to the door and open it. It was Erza and her daughter. "I...uhmm-" The woman stammering and blushing. "Mommy and I would like you to have dinner with us," her daughther continued for her. She come back from her senses, "Yes, as our token of gratitude for helping us out." He noticed the little girl smiling, "And mommy would also like to-" the little girl said but interrupted by her mother's hand. "We'll be going, see you on dinner." Erza said, removing her hand on her daughter's mouth and start walking back to their house. He was left alone but excited for later.

He walks to Erza's house and knocks at the door. The door was opened by Wendy and let him in. They both sit on the couch. "Mommy's been preparing all day," the little girl mumbled which caught his attention. "Aunt Mira was here during lunch to help her learn how to bake a strawberry cake."

Erza get to the living room and saw Jellal and Wendy having a conversation. "Oh, Jellal you're here." She notice that her daughter is grinning and he can't stop looking at her. It made her realize she was still wearing her apron. "I'm sorry," she said removing her apron and put it on the kitchen. She came back and said, "Dinner is ready."

They all sat on the table like a family. They were enjoying their food. Jellal is enjoying this moment because he's spending more time with Erza and her daughter. When the little girl blurted out, "Mommy likes Jelly-kun." Making him flustered and shocked and Erza covered her face from embarrassment.

"How did you know?" he asked. "Mommy never shuts up talking about you all day." she replied, "And... when you're not around, she tells me to call you daddy."

The next day, they become a thing which made their friends happy for the because finally they were a couple now.
