Erza smiled as she watched Lucy and Natsu play with her daughter. Despite the fire dragon slayer's rather violent personality, she knew that he was absolutely gentile when it came to kids... And also his partner, Lucy.

They weren't together or anything... At least not yet. They've always been shy about their feelings ever since the start. But that's fine... Because they wouldn't dare end up with anyone else besides each other.

Erza watched happily as Natsu lifted her daughter into the air and blew a raspberry against her stomach. The baby let out a fit of snorts and giggles as she held onto Natsu's pink hair with her strong baby hands.

However at that point, Erza's baby refused to let go of his hair, making Natsu repeatedly say ow under his breath.

"I always wanted to have a baby of my own..." Erza heard Lucy say to her, soft enough for only the redhead to hear. "They're so adorable."

"They're adorable, sure... But they are a lot of work." Erza chuckled, prying her eyes away from Natsu and her baby to look at Lucy. "Jellal and I barely get a whole night to sleep..."

"But it's worth it..." The blonde responded, helping Natsu by taking the baby away from his hair.

"Yeah... Totally worth it." Erza nodded, smiling as she took the baby in her arms, cradling her against her bosom.

There was a moment of silence that consisted of Erza and Lucy looking at the baby... And Natsu smiling over at Lucy, obvious thoughts going through his head.

"She was cute, wasn't she?" Lucy hummed, holding her hands behind her back as she stood beside Natsu at the request board, searching through different jobs.

"Yeah... She's got her mom's strength... That's for damn sure..." He replied, a little conflicted about the fact.

Lucy giggled and watched as Happy pulled a paper off the board and presenting it to them both. "This one! It's a lot of money for something as simple as finding a simple kind of plant. Seems like the offer is from an elderly couple that don't have enough energy to get it themselves."

Natsu smirked and took the page from the cat, leading them over to Mira. "This'll pay for Lucy's rent for a couple months." He exclaimed, shooting a proud look towards Lucy whom was beaming happily. He would've been staring at her for too long if it wasn't for Mira handing the paper back to him with a cheerful good luck!

Lucy pouted as she walked around the forest, glancing down at the picture of the plant the old couple had given them every now and then. "You'd think an unnaturally bright orange plant would be easy to find."

Natsu kept his eyes on the girl for a moment before looking town at the bases of the trees. "I wonder why they need the plant anyway. Hopefully these ancients don't intend to be taking on drugs or something."

Lucy shot him a warning look, mentioning how disrespectful he was being. Despite acting annoyed, he only admired how cute she was whenever she would nag at him like that.

Happy floated along with a gleeful look on his face, barely paying attention to their conversation as he inspected every plant he caught sight of. "Maybe we should split up and look around. We'll cover more land."

Natsu flinched and open his mouth to decline, but Lucy quickly spoke before he could. "You're right. How about if you find something, give a signal."

"Yeah!" Happy exclaimed, cutting Natsu off before he could speak. "Natsu can shoot some fire. I can just make myself noticeable above the trees, and Lucy you can summon Virgo or something."
