10 years later

"Julie? Jules?" I called out as I made my way down the corridor, passing long glass windows as I went,

"Sweetie?" I called out again, searching for my daughter, but just before I could turn the corner, I felt a small hand snake around my thigh and I jumped at the sudden action.

"Found you mummy!" Her light giggles made me relax, I followed her into the room, watching the brown eyed girl in front of me jump up and down, her long ebony locks and baby blue sun dress following suit.

"Mummy, is Lara coming over today? As it's my birthday, I want a sleep over!" The 10 year old exclaimed, spinning around in circles as she went,

"I don't know sweetie." I said, crossing my arms and thinking for a moment.

"Please? Mummy please?" She pleaded, batting her long lashes,

'my little bean is so cute' Inwardly, I giggled.

The door bell rang and startled me

"Lucy, Julie? Are you guys home?" A voice called out, my little dark head quickly turned towards the front door, her eyes widening in realisation.

"I wonder who that could-"

I was cut off as my daughter brushed past me bounding towards the front door, I followed. Julie threw open the door and squealed jumping "Aunty Mira!" And I watched as she jumped into the arms of her beautiful aunt

"Happy Birthday, my little Julie." Mirajane hugged the little bean, the two separated as Mirajane kneeled down and handed her a small red box, Julie clapped her hands, jumping on the spot with happiness and kissed Mirajane on the cheek.

"Uncle Laxus is bringing up more presents for you. This one is my personal favourite." Mirajane smiled, giving her niece a kiss on the forehead,

"Thank you, Aunt Mira." She bowed and ran back to me,

"Mummy! Look! Look!" She exclaimed, I smiled at my daughter and raised a brow at Mirajane

"More presents? I thought I said only one per person."

"I just had to spoil her." She gushed, "Besides, Uncle Laxus spoils her the most." Mirajane shrugged,

"Where are they?" I asked as I saw a box full of presents walking up behind her

"Jeez, Mirajane." I looked over to her but she whistled and avoided my look

"Julie!" Another childlike voice came from behind

"Lara!" We watched as the two tackled each other into a hug

"Again, where are the boys?" I asked, not taking her eyes of the two catching up

"The boys are with their great grandpa." Laxus commented, he passed his wife and stopped beside me

"Hey." He kissed me on the cheek as he walked in "Their grandpa wanted to take the boys up for camping."

Mirajane closed the the door.

We made our way to the living room, Julie and Lara sitting on the white fur carpet, I sat with Mirajane on the couch and Laxus placed the amount of presents next to the two, disappearing into the kitchen,

"Thanks for coming over. Julie only wanted to have a small party but because of work, she didn't want anyone to plan her birthday party but me." I sighed feeling bad for my daughter, It's hard constantly working and missing half of her birthday's,

"So the girls are gonna be having a birthday pajama party?" Mirajane questioned, I nodded

"Here you are, ladies." Laxus passed us glasses and filled it with red wine,
