Iron Blooded & Armed

Guild Hall

Hanna

"Goodnight you two," I said and kissed Sion and Rion's foreheads.

  I left their room and went towards Ryu and Lyon's room next. Simon was finishing up their goodnight wishes when I walked in. He slipped past me and I sat between the two on their king sized bed.

"Are you two ready to leave with me tomorrow?" I asked.

"Yeah! It'll be fun," Ryu answered happily.

"I'd rather stay here," Lyon growled.

"Look son, I know you don't like Gray, but you can't dwell on Ur's death and blame him for it. She's the one that made the choice of going after him. She's the one that sacrificed her life to protect him and you. The least you could do is try looking at it from his view. He holds just as much pain from her death as you do. Realize that monster killed his family. Don't be so harsh on him," I said strictly.

"Yes momma. I'm sorry," he whispered.

"That's better. I love you two. Sleep well. Goodnight," I said and kissed them both.

"Goodnight Mommy," they both said and rolled to their sleeping position.

  I left their room and headed to Gray and Natsu. Their room's just a few doors down. I knocked before I opened the door, then I entered.

"Hey boys. Just came to say goodnight. Get good rest since we're leaving early in the morning, ok?" I said.

"We will," Natsu said.

"Goodnight Hanna," Gray said.

"Goodnight​ boys," I said and hugged them both then kissed their foreheads. I switched their light off and closed the door behind me.

"You ready for bed?" Simon asked and hugged me.

"After today, yes," I answered and held onto him.

  He chuckled softly and picked me up bridal style. "Off to our room then."

Next Morning

"Rise and shine sleepyhead," Simon said with his morning voice.

"I'm up," I moaned and rolled onto my back.

"You hungry? The kids insisted on making you breakfast," he said.

"Let's go taste what they made," I laughed and stood slowly then stretched.

"Thanks for the face full of breasts," he joked and glared at me.

"Oops. Sorry," I said and blushed. Something I'll never get used to. Married or not.

"Come on," he groaned and pulled me to the kitchen.

"I guess I'll get dressed after I eat," I shrugged and walked behind him. "I'm still so tired."

  I sat at the table for my food, and grabbed the fork. All the kids looked at me expectantly. Once I finished the food, I stood and thanked the kids.

"Boys, be ready to leave by the time I'm done dressing. Simon, could you help them pack a bag of clothes seeing as I don't know how long we'll be at the Fairy Tail guild hall?" I asked.

"Sure thing. Come on boys," he said and walked them to their room.

"Come on momma. Before Gray decides to- Nevermind. There goes his shirt," Sion said.

"Oh come on! I'm sorry, it just became a habit," Gray apologized.

"It's fine. Just throw your shirt back on before anything else comes off," I said.

  I started the walk to my bedroom and then stripped to dress. Sion and Rion have a tendency to join me, so they closed the door behind us.

"Momma, how come you aren't taking all four of us with you?" Rion asked.

"Because your father wants quality time with you two to make up for how much he spends with your brothers," I answered and put on jeans and a plain white tee along with some regular shoes.

2 Weeks Later

  Everything has gone by considerably good. The guild hall is fixed up. Now I'm letting the boys hang out with the others and train. It's amazing what all they can do.

"Momma!" Ryu exclaimed excitedly.

"What is it son?" I asked as I helped at the bar.

"Can I go with Natsu around the woods?" He asked.

"I suppose, but don't be gone too long. Come back before dark," I said and kissed his forehead. "Be safe."

  He nodded his head then ran off. My phone buzzed and I answered. "This is Hanna. How may I help you?"

"When are you coming home?"

"Well, hello to you too, Orga," I chuckled.

"Hi. Seriously though. I wanna see my baby sister," he continued.

"Soon. Things are still being finished up that Simon must finish, and I want you to meet him," I sighed.

"Is everything good now?" He asked.

"Almost. We're almost finished up here. Is everything good on Mars?" I asked.

"That's good. Yeah. We're just trying to adjust some expenses," he answered.

"Don't worry about that. I'll solve that problem when I come," I said.

"No," he said flatly.

"Sorry, big brother. I don't take no for an answer," I said.

"Are you with Simon right now?" He asked.

"Not currently. I'm in another city helping with some construction for friends," I answered. "Why?"

"I was just curious. We were going to try video calling you," he answered.

"I'll try later when my boys are asleep," I said.

"You have the boys?" He asked.

"Yup. Simon said that he felt like he didn't spend enough time with the girls, since the boys are always in the office with him," I explained.

"I see. As long as you aren't stuck with all of them on your own," he said.

"Simon wouldn't do that to me," I smiled.

"Good because poor Mikazuki keeps griping about him and says if he does one wrong thing-"

"Don't tell her that! She'll yell at me!"

  Orga laughed at that then slowly settled down. "Sorry. That was obviously Mika."

"It's alright. Well, I've gotta go, Orga. Have fun. I love you," I said before hanging up.

  It's been good being able to talk to him again. Almost a decade of no communication with them, and they're still worrisome. I have to see them soon. After repairs are done of course. Maybe we could leave a few days early and leave Kamina, Kittan and Rossiu in charge. Those three seem to get a lot of work done.
