Natsu's POV

I was snuggling with Lucy but having trouble sleeping. I could hear soft cries coming from the other room on the baby monitor. I struggled to get out of bed and get to her. "Well better to start trying to walk now I guess" I held onto the wall till found my self at Nashi's room. I wobbled over to her crib and looked down at her.

'My beautiful baby girl.' I thought as I reach my hand down into her crib, her little hands reaching up for my fingers. Both of her hands wrapped around my one fingers, it was cute.

When I pull my hand away she started to whimper so I leaned over and picked her up. She yawn and fell back asleep. I thought she was okay so I went to lay her back down and she started whimpering again. "Okay I'll hold you."

I slowly made my way to the rocking chair Lucy had in here. I sat down and slowly rocked both of us. I watched as she slept soundly. I found my self yawning but knew if I laid her back down she'd cry again. I didn't want to bother Lucy so she could get rest.

Probably one of the best rests she's had in a while.

I felt Nashi squirm around in my arms causing me to focus on her again. She started making soft cries again, I don't know what to do! I laid her in her bed then went into my room. I rummaged through my drawers till I found it. I quickly went back to her room and picked her up.

I swaddled her in my old scarf from dad. "Look Nashi, ain't it soft" I cooed. She played with the fabric tugging and pulling at it. I smiled, "I knew you would like it" I whispered at I gentle laid her in her crib. She looked up at me and made a confused face.

"What?" I asked.

She smiled a toothless smile and giggled. I leaned down and caressed her cheek. "Sweet dreams sweetie" she smiled and slowly closed her eyes drifting back to sleep. I sighed and directed my self back to my bed. I snuggled up to Lucy and wrapped my arm around her. I heard her hum and hold one of my arms. Finally sleep took over.

I sniffed the air and could smell breakfast food. I felt around the bed. There's a Lucy missing. My stomach growled loudly so I pulled my self out of bed. I went into the kitchen and saw Lucy sit on a chair with Nashi in a seat while she gave her milk.

"Morning Luce"

She looked at me and gasped. "Natsu your crutches!" I shrugged. "I'm strong, I don't need em" I made my self a plate of food and sat down. "Well when you hurt your self don't come cryin to me" she snickered while making faces at Nashi. I rolled my eyes. "Sure thing"

She stood up and laid Nashi in a carrier. "Where ya going?" I asked while shoveling more food down my pipe hole. "Levy wants to see Nashi and go to Barnes & Noble." I sighed. "You're already leaving me? Meanie!" She just shook her head. "You have company sir" she told me while pointing towards the door.

Seconds later someone knocked, then Gray walked in. "Why is he here?" Gray slapped a hand on my shoulder. "Just came to see ya boss... Old boss" He muffled back a laugh as I stitched my eyebrows together. "What?" Gray waved Lucy off and said "bye boss!" My eye twitched.

"What?!"

"Oh well you know you signed over everything to Lucy so she's my boss, things a running great by the way. She joined both companies together and it's running so smoothly. No one lost their jobs." I rubbed my temples. "How'd she join them?" "Oh it's now called Lucky Dragon, a Heartfilia and Dragneel corporation." I pushed my plate back and thought for a moment.

"Natsu dude chill, your still the owner just a joint owner. Lucy didn't want to change to much but she couldn't just give the "Dragneels everything, that's why she made sure it was a know thing that the company was the pair of you."
