Our Journey Together

Chapter 4 Alone Time

No one

Laxus was returning home from a long mission with his team tired as he occasionally joined their current conversation the thunder legions conversation was cut short when they heard a scream turning to look behind them to find the source of it a little who ran towards them full speed her twin braids and hair swishing from side to side "daddy!" the girls skirt bouncing as she jumped into the arms of her father who fell back onto the ground from being caught off guard "Mana?" Laxus calls holding the bluenettes shaking small form "is she laughing?" Freed asks staring down at the girl curiously "daddy! you're back I missed you so much!" Mana wailed bringing her head up from the lightning dragon slayers chest who sat upon his knees lowering his daughter to her feet still keeping his large hands on her sides "then why are you crying?!" Laxus asks the tiredness seeping away "I thought you wouldn't come back" the girl rubbed at her eyes sobbing the team panicked trying to calm her down "Laxus is back now though Mana" Evergreen reassured sighing Laxus picked her up while the sobbing girl wrapped her arms around his neck "let's go home" he says stroking her back "Mana? did you run here from school?" Bickslow asks his babies repeating his words "eh? no I was walking home since mommy couldn't pick me up that's when I saw you" Mana replied turning towards the seith mage with Laxus' arms under her "why couldn't Juvia come?" Freed asks generally concerned for the water mage "oh I see" Evergreen nodded understanding since Laxus and Juvia became official the water mage had become closer with the only girl in the thunder legion "what happened to your mother Mana?" Laxus asks his daughter "nothing it's just that..." the fairy tail guilds princess leaned closer to her father's ears cupping her mouth "what?! seriously?!" Laxus asks shocked but at the same time happy "that's not the case though Wendy told her otherwise" Evergreen added crushing his hope.

Next Morning

Laxus walked into the kitchen to find his wife Juvia Lockser preparing breakfast the blonde dragon slayer crossed the room coffee mug in hand passing Juvia who flipped the pancake gasping when she felt his hand on her butt thankfully Makarov Dreyar had already left to the guild while Mana was upstairs in her room sleeping so Laxus placed his mug down on the counter gently kissing the water mages naturally pale skin from her years without the sun he smirked once he heard the soft moan escape her lips turning her around he placed his lips over Juvia's thankful for their daughter not being here and up in her room sleeping before things could escalate between the couple any further "mommy! daddy!" Mana called from the kitchen doorway in a green dress with a chibi panda in the middle Mamoru in her small petite arms the two turned towards the turquoise eyed girl and the small monkey who tilted their head in unison "what are you two doing?" silence filled the room as the couple thought of answers "uh... we're...er... we're training!" Juvia replied "yeah definitely training."

The couple sighed in frustration while walking back into the guildhall Mana holding their hands unbeknownst to her parent's clear intentions to get down and dirty she had just caught them before they anything else could happen although the moment the three stepped into the guild Mana's smile lit up with happiness as she ran towards a tall male blonde hugging his leg "Raiden when did you get back?" Juvia asks standing a few feet from the man "just a few minutes ago" Raiden replied glancing down at fairy tail's princess who was still hugging him "I already saw gramps but couldn't seem to find you guys" Mana looked up at him "mommy and daddy were in the hallway training" Mana replied "they were-" "you don't need to go into detail Mana" Laxus slapped a large hand to her lips "oh I get it" Raiden says nodding in understanding "seriously old man how many times do you plan to get caught?" he grabbed his little sister's small petite snow-white hand "it's not like I wanted to be caught by Mana" Laxus says while the oldest of the Dreyar siblings waved "I'll take Tsunade of your back" Raiden says picking her up into his arms "besides I need to spend some time with my baby sister" Mamoru was still perched on the girls head.

Needless to say Juvia and Laxus finally got some time together after Raiden oldest child returned since he spent most of his time with the guild's princess although they missed Mana at times still they were glad they didn't have to worry about the siblings quarrelling since they got along well which might've been due to the fact that their personalities compliment each other even though Raiden complained about everyone having an exceed aside from himself after meeting Mamoru.

Anyone could see that Raiden Kai Dreyar cared for his little sister deeply which in turn made Hikari angry often going off on his proclamations about Mana being his mate which would earn him a kick to the face from Mana.
