You Have My Heart Chapter 1

Date started/stopped: Apr 9th- Jul 22nd 2016

*Natsu's POV*

"Uncle Natsu," Izumi whined, trying to get my attention.

"Yes, Izumi?" I scooped him up and carefully tossed him in the air.

"When are mommy and daddy coming back?" The one year old asked, giggling.

"They should be home some time this week. I know they really miss you."

"I miss them too."

I heard the bedroom door behind me shut quietly and turned to see Lucy walking out. She worriedly looked down at the thermometer in her hand and sighed. I placed Izumi on the floor with some toys.

"Ichiro now has a fever," she whispered, moving to the kitchen.

"Poor guy.. He'll get better soon. Don't worry," I walked over to her and rubbed her back.

"I hope so," she grabbed a glass of water and went back to the room. She's been working day and night for the past few days trying to help Ichiro, but nothing seems to be working.

I looked down at the bubbly Izumi and picked him back up.

"Let's go for a walk, little guy," I brushed his bangs out of his eyes. I strapped him in his stroller and headed towards the guild hall.

A couple of months have passed since the beautiful day Lucy and I got married, and we are happier than ever before. We go on a lot more job requests and when one of the other happy couples decide to do something, we babysit their kids.

Izumi started blowing raspberries and giggling.

We still haven't had a child of our own, but we've been thinking about it. I pushed the stroller through the doors and looked around.

"Hey, Natsu," Grey called out.

"Hey, man. Have you seen Wendy around?"

"Here," Wendy said from a few tables down. She had her arm linked with Romeo's.

"If you don't mind me asking, could you come to my house? Ichiro is sick and none of the medicine we are giving him is working."

"Of course! Come on, Romeo," they got up and followed me back home.

I put a finger to my lip indicating that we need to be quiet. I put Izumi back with his toys and silently opened the bedroom door. Lucy was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a cold cloth to Ichiro's forehead.

When she saw Wendy, she got off the bed and moved out of the way. Wendy took her place and used her magic to heal him. It took a minute, but his pale face started getting a little color back.

Lucy and I both gave a sigh of relief. "Thank you so much," Lucy said, yawning.

"No problem, it's what I do," she smiled and left with Romeo. Lucy carefully picked Ichiro up and placed him in the foldable crib. She looked exhausted.

"You should get some sleep," I kissed her forehead.

"What if he wakes up?" She asked, trying to keep her eyes open.

"I'll take care of both of them, you need the sleep."

"Alright. Goodnight," she crawled into our bed. I kissed her forehead once more before going back to Izumi.

Glancing at the clock, I saw it was one already. "You hungry?" I asked Izumi who was busy stacking blocks.

"Yes," he stood up and walked over to the table. I put him in his high chair and went to go see what we had for him.

"Pb&j and apple slices?" He nodded his head and I grabbed everything I needed. I also grabbed a juice box out of the pantry and placed the plate in front of him. He struggled to get the straw into the juice. I chuckled and did it for him.

I heard Ichiro crying and quickly went and got him from his crib before he woke Lucy up. He seemed back to his normal self. "You must be hungry, too," I put him in the other high chair next to Izumi. I made the same lunch for him as I had for his brother. "Sorry boys, I don't have any metal to give you guys."

"It's ok," they said in unison. I chuckled and messed up their little heads of hair.

*Hope you enjoyed!!*
