Lucy made it to her house with Happy and the now toddler Natsu without gathering too much attention to herself and all she could do now was just take a heavy sigh as she plopped down on her couch tired from the current events.
"Things are going to be different for awhile, I have to take care of a baby now."
Said the celestial mage.
Natsu saw that Lucy had sat down on the couch and he started to toddle towards the couch, he then tried to climb onto the couch but all of his attempts were unsuccessful.
"Let me help you Natsu."
Lucy was about to pull the toddler up on the couch but the boy refused.
"No!"
Said the toddler.
"No?"
Lucy repeated.
"Natoo do id!"
Natsu continued to try and climb on the couch but he kept falling on his butt back onto the floor.
"He's still as stubborn as ever glad that didn't change."
Lucy said as she continued to observe Natsu as he would try and fail to get himself on the couch, the boy soon stopped trying to climb and he just sat on the floor as started to tear up.
"Okay no tears."
Lucy picked up the toddler and she sat him on the couch.
"There isn't that better."
Natsu babbled happily in response.
"So, what do we do now Lucy"
Happy asked as he sat on the couch.
"Well I guess the first thing to do is figure out where you two will be sleeping at...I have a spare room in here that you and Natsu can share for the time being."
"Wow thanks Lucy!"
Happy said.
"It's all good I just need to clean out some of my junk in there."
Said the blond mage.
"But we need a bed Lucy..oh and can we get a T.V in there too!"
Happy asked
"Don't push it cat."
Lucy rubbed Happy's head.
{Knock Knock}
"Who could that be?"
Lucy opened the door and she saw Gray and Erza at her front door with a bunch of bags and boxes behind them.
"Hey you guys what are you doing here?"
Lucy asked.
"Apparently we're delivery mages now"
Gray said.
"Master wanted Gray and I to deliver all of Laxus old baby items, it very sweet of him passing on items of the old and handing it over to a newer generation."
Said Erza as she started tearing up.
"Whatever, anyways we brought the stuff I'm leaving."
Right as the ice make mage turned around he saw Erza in front of him glaring at him.
"What do you think you're doing Gray."
Erza said in a voice that practically sent chills down Gray's spine.
"I'm helping of course."
The ice make mage quickly grabbed a box and he started moving things inside the house.
"That's so nice of him, I do need baby stuff for Natsu now.
After all of the boxes were inside the house everyone sat in the living room and started unpacking the boxes to see what kind of item each one held.
"I wonder what's in this large box?"
Lucy opened the rather large box and she found a small wooden headboard and other wooden parts.
"What's that Lucy?"
Happy asked.
"Well Happy I think its."
Lucy trailed off as she pulled out the last few wooden pieces out of the box the last thing that was in the box was a small folded mattress.
"Its a crib that's exactly what I needed, now Natsu has a bed of his own...I just have to build it."
"You don't know how do you."
Happy said to Lucy.
"I can put it together...I just need a manual or something like that."
Lucy looked through the box and she found a instruction manual  but she when she opened the book there were so many pieces and many steps to go through just to build the crib.
"I'll worry about that later, what else do we got?"
Erza opened another box and she pulled out a bunch of clothes.
"These are so adorable."
Erza squealed.
Lucy dressed Natsu in one of the outfits which was a red shirt and  white shorts.
"Mama mama!"
Natsu bounced happily in Lucy's grasp.
"Yeah you finally got clothes on now."
Lucy picked up Natsu and started tickling the toddler which caused Natsu to laugh gleefully.
"Hey what's a changing table."
Gray asked as he opened the large box and lifted it to reveal a wooden changing table with a blue cushon and several shelves to hold various items.
"I think that's used for when I have to change his diapers' it'll be pretty useful...what else did Master give me?"
Hours later the group opened the rest of the other boxes which ranged from old baby furniture to new packs of diapers and other baby supplies and after moving all the items into the spare room everyone sat in the living room.
"I think thats everything."
Said the celestial mage.
"Yeah I'm glad I feel exhausted."
Said Gray still tired from the hard work.
Natsu waddled his way towards Gray and he stared at the young adult.
"What is it Natsu?"
Gray asked the toddler.
"Daddy."
Natsu as he pointed to Gray which caught the teen off guard.
"Aww he thinks you're his father."
Said the equip mage.
"Hey kid cut it out I don't have any kids!"
Gray yelled.
"Daddy daddy!!"
Natsu raised his hands up to Gray hoping his new proclaimed father would pick him up.
"Uhh"
Gray quickly looked at Lucy and the blond haired girl was encouraging him to pick up the toddler.
"Alright fine."
Gray picked up Natsu and the toddler started to play with the necklace the teen had around his neck.
"You like it kid."
Gray said to the toddler but he got a grunt from Natsu as a response then about second later a foul stench hit Gray's nose.
" Crap, hey Lucy he needs a change."
Gray put Natsu back on the floor leaving the toddler confused on why he was put back down.
"Daddy daddy!"
Natsu went back to Gray and he lifted his arms to the Ice make mage, hoping he would pick him up again.
"I guess now would be a good time to use that changing table."
Lucy picked up Natsu and she laid on the changing table.
"Daddy daddy!!"
Natsu reached his hand out towards Gray.
"Hold on Natsu let me change you first."
Lucy said as she tried to get the toddler to be still.
"Waaaaaaaah!! Daddy!"
Natsu started throwing a tantrum he wanted to play some more
"Natsu that's enough."
Erza looked the toddler in eye scaring the child into doing what was asked of him.
After the diaper change Lucy placed Natsu back down onto the floor and he ran back to Gray.
"Daddy Daddy!"
Natsu lifted his arms up to Gray again hoping he would be picked up again.
"C'mon kid... you're cramping my style here.
Gray said to the child who was still jumping at his feet.
"Daddy up!"
Whined the toddler.
"Okay fine."
Gray picked up Natsu and he continued to play with the child despite what he said about him being to cool for such actions.
"Aww look at Gray he would make the perfect father figure."
Said the equip mage.
"Stop saying that!"
Gray yelled out as he put Natsu down.
"Daddy?"
Natsu looked back up Gray and he raised his hands towards him.
"No more kid it's getting late."
Said the ice make mage as he started walking to the door.
"Same here it is starting to get a little late, I going to head back home."
Erza waved goodbye and she left the house.
"Later guys."
Gray then left the house too.
"Daddy."
Natsu said sadly.
"Come on Natsu let's get ready for dinner,  I'll bet having a full stomach will make you feel better."
"Can we have fish Lucy."
Happy asked.
"Well I do have fish sticks we can eat those."
Lucy said as picked up the toddler and she went into the kitchen with Happy following behind her so she can start cooking.
