Secrets

Chappie 17

Natsu, 8 months pregnant, and a very angry Gray, were now standing in front of their daughter and son. They had downcast looks as both their mother and father glared at them. Alzack and Bisca had already scolded Asuka for helping, but Seiichi and Sayuri knew better than to go this far.

"Seiichi? How many times have Mommy and I told you not to touch the scissors without permission?" 

"A lot." 

"Sayuri? How many times have I told you not to let anyone touch your hair? Especially with scissors?" 

"Lot of times." 

"Mhm. After Mommy gets your hair fixed up, you're staying here with her so I can go on a mission." 

Their eyes slightly widened and they held hands. The guild looked in confusion and Wendy stood. 

"Natsu can be a strict punisher at times." She said as she went to the bar for a juice box. They nodded in mutual understanding. Natsu shook her head; now stressed as she sat a chair in front of the bench. 

"Come on up here, Sayuri." 

Sayuri hesitated for a minute, but then slowly climbed onto the chair. Lucy went to grab Cancer's key, but Natsu stopped her before she grabbed it. She looked at Natsu with confusion, but one look at Gray told her everything. She let go of his key and sat back down. 

"Are you sure you don't want her to grow it out first, honey?" 

Gray held his head in his hands. 

"No, it'll grow more evenly like this." 

Natsu smiled sadly at him and turned back to her daughter's hair with a pair of scissors from off the table. She knew how much Gray wanted Sayuri to grow her hair long, but that dream was just butchered. 

'Haha... Butchered.' She thought before the guild watched Natsu in anticipation. With a few snips here and a few chops there, Natsu was finally done, after 10 minutes. Everyone smiled at the girl, who went from hair past her butt, to now a short bob; black fading to pink and a few pink spikes on the top. Gray smiled sadly as he looked up at her and sat by Natsu; his head on her shoulder. She rolled her eyes and patted his back, making the whole guild laugh. Sayuri crawled into Gray's lap and cried. 

"What's wrong, Yuri?" 

"I don't like it short, now." 

He laughed and held her. 

"Well, this is a lesson, then. Don't cut your hair, and don't let other people cut it. No one but Mommy, me, or someone else we take you to." 

She just nodded and he continued to rock her. Seiichi hugged his Mom's leg and she patted his back. They all watched. Wendy and Gajeel went up to the crying girl Gray held on his lap and tapped her shoulders. She turned and smiled as Wendy 'tried' to scare her... It didn't work and Sayuri ended up laughing instead. The whole guild erupted in laughter and Gray stood up with Erza, and placed Sayuri in Gajeel's arms and kissed her cheek. 

"I'll be back soon, okay, Yuri?" 

She nodded and wiped her eyes with a little laugh. 

"Okay, but your hair better be all back!" He said with a fake warning tone. She laughed even more. He bent down and scooped up Seiichi, giving his face a few extra kisses because he tried to fight him. After he was set down, he sat on the opposite side of the bench and pouted. 

"Aww, just like little Natsu and Gray were!" Erza yelled out. Some of the older members knew what she meant and laughed. He kissed Natsu's cheek and grabbed his bag.

 "I'll be back soon, okay?" 

"I know you will..." 

He still stood with a smirk on his face. 

"Would ya help me up, I know that's why you're still there!" She yelled with a playful smile. He smirked and grabbed her hand, yanking her off the bench.

"Touché." He chuckled. She kissed him and they walked out of the guild. She turned and watched as Gajeel rocked Sayuri in a working attempt to get her down for a nap, and Wendy picked Seiichi up and handed him to Natsu. 

"Thank you Wendy, it was like you read my mind."

 She smiled. 

"Maybe I did!" 

Natsu giggled and adjusted Seiichi before sitting down next to her and pulling her to her side. 

"Love ya, Natsu-nee!" 

"Love ya too, my little onii-chan!" 

"What about me?" Gajeel said in mock hurt. Natsu and Wendy looked at each other before smiling at Gajeel.

 "We love you, Gajeel-nii!" 

He blushed, not expecting what had happened, but then smiled when he noticed no one around them was looking. 

"You're both lucky no one was paying attention." 

They both laughed and they all sat back; enjoying each other's company.

Did I use those honorifics right? I don't think I did, but you get what I was trying to say XD Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! 

See ya!
