THE BABYSITTER ( nalu)

Nali enters

"shut up! Nali is finally back from Europe and she was pretty mad that you didn't pick her up" scolded Mira, making Natsu get nervous "Mira! what if Nali doesn't like Lucy? I know she's 8 and incredibly intelligent, but what if Nali only see's the bad in Lucy and not the good?" Natsu asked getting more and more nervous, then Mira got a call

"hello?"

"hi Mirajane. Where's Lucy?" asked the woman on the phone " uh.. can I ask who this is?" questioned Mira nervously "oh my mavis! Mi-chan! it's Lala-chan!" exclaimed the woman

"ah! Is it really you L-" Mira got cut off by the woman "sh sh sh... Lulu-chan might hear.." whisper- shouted the woman, making Mira giggle a bit, and as if on cue, Lucy walked out with one of Natsu's shirts on her, going right above her knees "Mi-chan, count the whole gang so I can buy that many tickets for you guys okay? and make sure Lucy better be single when she gets to France. Her son expects his mom to be free from any ring" said the lady, quite depressed. "don't worry Mi-chan, I still remember you after all of the 8 years that have past.. well goodbye now." the lady on the phone quickly hung up while Natsu and Lucy were looking at the café owner crazily.

"well.. this is kinda awkward.." stated Natsu "hehe.. well Natsu, you must be prepared in 6 hours." said Mira, walking down the stairs "w-wait! why in six hours? I need my beauty sleep" said Natsu "well it is one in the morning" stated Mira, making Natsu run into his room and look at his alarm clock, showing that it was exactly one a.m.

"goodbye lovebirds! and NO sex, until a next month!" commanded Mira, making Lucy's cheeks burn up, and Natsu's turning rosy pink. When Mira left, Lucy went towards Lisa's room and mumbled "goodnight" to Natsu before closing the door. Natsu wanted to run into his daughter's room and pick up the babysitter, but he didn't want Nali catching him sleeping with some lady that she's never heard of before, and when he dating Yanira, Nali knew about that relationship.

~The Next Day~

Nali and Lisa got dropped off by Mirajane, because she had a café to work at. Nali has been watching Lucy carefully, seeing how she cooked, cleaned and how she started conversations too! Nali was started to grow a soft spot for her babysitter, and she felt kinda bad for Lucy, having to deal with her childish father of hers. Sometimes she thinks that she could be Gray's or Erza's kid due to her seriousness. Lucy treated Nali like an adult because she was always so mature around others, but from stories that she's heard from Lisa, she seemed like the queen of the immature. Natsu had to think before he acted, so that worried Nali a lot, and she's also noticed how her dad would do almost anything Lucy said. When Nali was drinking on her chai tea, she spit it out when she finally realized that her dad had a crush on the babysitter.

"Father.." said Nali, making Natsu look up from his newspaper to his daughter "yes Nali?" asked Natsu, trying to act mature around his oldest daughter; When Lisanna gave birth, Nali came out first, then Lisa

"Let's go and talk upstairs" said Nali, picking up a ruler and walking upstairs. When Nali was gone Natsu turned to see Lucy, and he had a scared expression on "come on Natsu, it's only your 8 year old daughter Nali" said Lucy, trying to make Natsu feel better, but Natsu just stood up and quickly pecked Lucy's cheek before racing up the stairs, making Lucy as red as a tomato

"Lucy-chan! sit and talk with me!" demanded Lisa, making Lucy sit across from a Dragneel twin. "yes Lisa-chan.." said Lucy, turning pale again "so what's up with you and my dad? he just kissed your cheek!" yelled Lisa "sssshhhhh! Lisa! Nali can't hear any of this!" whisper-shouted Lucy "hehe.. she already knows the connection between the two of you. We practically have the same mind, and I was planning on interrogating my dad, but she stood up before me.." explained Lisa, making Lucy's eyes go wide "s-she kn-knows abo-about us?" asked Lucy

"us?!? Lucy! I knew it! Natsu is in deep trouble!" said Lisa, then suddenly they heard a cry of pain "poor daddy. nail sure is giving him a beating" said Lisa, making Lucy become terribly worried, then Natsu and Nali walked down the stairs. Natsu had a huge bump at the back of his head and Nali holding the wooden ruler that was now broken into two pieces

"well. I approve of it" stated Nali " Lucy would make the perfect wife for you and the perfect mother for me. she has all of the qualities I've been looking for in your past girlfriends." said Nali, then Lucy went towards Natsu with an ice pack, then put it on the little lump. Natsu inhaled sharply, then relaxed a bit. Nali eyed the two curiously and then pushed Lucy into Natsu, their lips having contact. Lucy was about to pull away, but Natsu let go of his ice pack and pulled Lucy closer. When they parted for breath they saw Lisa smile like a dork and Nali nodding her head in approval.

Natsu and Lucy did look like an actual couple. Nali was very happy that her dad has found the one he'd spend the rest of his life with. Lucy will be more than a step mom to Nali, she'll be a friend, teacher, and role model. Mirajane was always Lisa's role model, while Lisanna was always Nali's, but then death took her mother away. Now she has found another to be close with, and she was glad it was Lucy.

~ 3 weeks later~

Nali, Lisa, and Lucy have been like a trio ever since the whole approval thing. Natsu has been joining the 3 every day after he gets off of work, and sometimes the whole gang tags along too. Mira has been talking to the mystery woman every single night, giving her details about the lovebirds, and Mira was also assigned to take pictures, ask questions, things like that. Tomorrow morning the whole gang were supposed to fly to France and meet up with the mysterious lady and Lucy's son. Everyone swore that they wouldn't tell where they'd be flying to because it was a surprise for Lucy.

"Listen up everyone!" said Mira, getting everyone's attention. "you guys should double check your luggage because as you all should know, we are leaving to France. Reminder- don't tell Lucy anything! That means you Levy-chan!" yelled Mira, pointing her index finger at the little blunette.

"e-eh?! Mira-chan don't just accuse me! You can barely hold it in either!" barked Levy, making Gajeel put a hand on Levy's shoulder to calm her down. "anyways! We should all check our stuff and we'll all meet up at the airport tomorrow at 4 am sharp! If anyone runs late to make all of us late, there will be consequences.." threatened Erza, making everyone nod in unison. Lucy then entered the house with Nali and Lisa by her side

"hey guys, what are you all doing here? and Natsu I thought you had work?" asked Lucy "well I came home early to make something nice for my three girls!" exclaimed Natsu, making everyone put on nervous smiles

"o-okay? i'll be back. We have to go and put these groceries away.." said Lucy holding out plastic bags full of food. when the three entered the kitchen Mira stood up immediately

"4 am sharp! Magnolia airport and don't be late!" Mira whisper- shouted, making everyone nod and get up to leave. when everyone left Natsu saw Mira standing in the doorway, so he walked towards her

"need anything?" asked Natsu "Tell Lucy that you planned a sort of vacation for all of us, just don't say it's at France. Understood?" asked Mira "yeah I will" replied Natsu, giving the older woman a hug and closing the door behind her. Natsu inhaled a large amount of air, then exhaled

"Smells good!" he stated before entering the kitchen.
