Return

"ROAD TRIP!!" Eric screamed, running through the house half naked. Cobra was chasing after him waring only a pair of boxers.

"Get back here, Junior!! It's your turn!"

"But I don't want a bath!" The little clone leapt onto the couch and held a pillow up like a shield.

Cobra stood in front of him, ready to strike and snatch him up. "Then I guess your not going on the trip..."

"What?! No way!" Eric looked crestfallen at his father, who then lunged forward and picked him up. Cobra flipped him upside down and held him tight. "Papa!!"

"Surrender." Cobra said looking down at him. Eric puffed his cheeks out in a pout and relaxed. "Good boy."

He then carried the child back to the bathroom. Lucy and the others watched him go.

"He's different from before." Erza said taking a bite of cake. Her eyes lit up and she held it up like it was some kind of god send. "This cake is amazing! I've never tasted anything better!!"

"Cobra made it. He's trying out a new recipe for our desert menu." Natsu said putting a plate in front of Aaron. The little pink haired boy looked at his breakfast and then to Erza's cake.

"Momma why does she get cake for breakfast?" He asked pointing at her.

"Because she's Erza..." Natsu said simply then walked away.

"Can I be Erza?" Aaron asked smiling.

Lucy laughed at him. "I think you should just be you."

Aaron frowned. "Okay..."

"Eat up!" Natsu said pointing at him. He nodded and dug into his food.

Happy sat on the table watching Natsu. "Ne~ Natsu. I'm really glad we're all going to be together again!"

The pinkette glanced over her shoulder at the blue cat and smiled lightly. "I missed you all. Believe it or not..."

"We missed you to." Gray said smirking. "I don't have anyone to fight with now sense you vanished."

"No one sneaks into my bed anymore..." Lucy sighed.

"You actually missed that?" Natsu chuckled as she sat down next to her son.

"After I thought you died? I actually did..." Lucy smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of her head.

Natsu chuckled along with everyone else at the table. She then turned her attention to Erza. "So, what have I missed?"

The Titania put her fork down on her empty plate. "A lot actually."

She went into a long story of all the adventures Natsu missed out on. Adventures like Edolas, and the S class exams. Lucy, Gray and Happy would throw their own input into the story every now and again. Natsu also missed her own funeral. It had been a touching ceremony apparently. By the time they finished talking and wrapped their story up Cobra was walking out fully clothed with Eric, wrapped like a cocoon, in a towel.

"That's a funny sight..." Lucy said grinning.

Cobra sat down at the table and put Eric in his lap. The kid looked very content with his life as he just nestled into his wrappings and leaned against the mans chest. "I don't know what's up with him... But he just loves it when I do this."
