Hello peoples!

Hate to start with a negative here but I'm going to anyway. People make mistakes; get over it. I don't appreciate being ordered to change things in my own stories. Granted I made an error but that is no excuse to demand I 'Fix It.' As it was so nicely put. It's a world of magic, dragons and girls with dimensions that should make it damn near impossible to move! Science was kinda put to one side when Fairy Tail was being made so I think it's safe to assume we can take a few liberty's...

Sorry if that sounds prattish but it sorta sucks when someone speaks to you as if they own your story.

Apologies and now on with the story!

P.S: I'm taking a creative liberty and sticking with my mistake as I prefer it, if you're gonna mess up you gotta live with it right? Haha!

It must be difficult having to balance your own happiness with doing what's best for a group of a people who look to you for guidance, especially when a there is a large event coming up that could make or break everything you had spent the last five years trying to maintain and then to help progress.

Natsu was in one such position.

On the one hand he had only four months to prepare his guild for the first ever Grand Magic Games. Fairy Tail was still recognised as the best guild in all of Fiore but ever since they lost the bulk of their strongest members every other guild in the country had been waiting and watching intently in the hopes that Fairy Tail would give them that chance to surpass them, all it would have taken is one slip up; no matter how slight.

The Grand Magic Games would be the defining moment for Fairy Tail, but it could go either way, and with all of this Natsu still had to find a new team captain for the representing team now that Mira couldn't compete.

Mira's pregnancy was a source of happiness throughout the guild no matter what it might mean for the GMG team's chances of victory. Losing a member of Mirajane's strength would be a nail in the coffin in the case of most guilds but not with Fairy Tail.

Mira's power was now back. Completely back.

It started to return when she began training with Natsu shortly after the Tenrou team disappeared. But it was after she gave birth that the majority of her power returned. Her maternal instincts were powerful, almost ridiculously strong. Mira had the strength to level entire mountains and it was her carnal need to protect her children that allowed her powers to manifest to the point where she began to surpass nearly everyone around her, apart from one man.

Natsu was the first and currently only Dragon Champion. He was a wizard saint, promoted from rank 9 to 6, he was the guild master of Fairy Tail and he was a father. His need to protect his children amplified his own strength to almost monstrous levels when they were threatened.

They were also incredibly protective and possessive of each other.

With Natsu's, albeit reluctant, rise to fame brought with it hordes of beautiful women vying for his attention, Mira's demon side was more than happy to resurface to chase away or toss away any such 'harlots' who might try to step between her and her husband.

Mira was still widely acknowledged as possibly being the most beautiful woman in the world, even though Ultear was now the guilds cover girl, so every now and then a 'suitor' would appear to attempt to charm the white haired beauty. Natsu was always quick to dispatch the ones who tried. These suitors were often wealthy men who tried to use money to win over the demoness, Mira often just laughed demonically at them; money meant nothing to her and especially so when compared to Natsu or her family.

Meredy swung by the Dragneel residence early that morning to pick up the twins, she was taking them to spend the day at the guild under her supervision as the parents were going to take the morning to themselves to privately celebrate the news of Mira's pregnancy.

Usually Natsu and Mira had to wake up early in the morning to get their kids ready and then head to the guild to oversee the day's events. Not today though.

With Meredy looking after Faye and Iggy and Ultear and Jet looking after the guild hall, with Laki keeping a close eye on her boyfriend as to make sure Ultear didn't attempt any advances… not that she planned on, it meant that the married couple had no need to wake up at any time.

That was why Mira didn't raise her head off her sleeping husband's chest until about 10:00 in the morning. Her eyes were foggy, her hair tousled cutely and her body sore; Natsu and Mira had started their celebration the night before and had gone to their usual levels of intensity in their love making.

She could feel her husband's naked body pressed against her own equally naked form and it made her want to almost purr in delight.

Her eyes were still partially closed and the waking world was difficult for her to hold onto. She snuggled her face into the crook of his neck and shoulder to find the warmth and comfort which had encompassed her being all throughout the night. She felt the strong arm wrapped around her waist pull her closer to the body beneath her. She couldn't help but smile contently when she felt the man she was laying on plant a warm kiss on the crown of her head before he took a deep cleansing breath obviously taking in her scent.

"You smell amazing." Natsu mumbled through a husky voiced laced with both exhaustion and desire.

He felt Mira chukle. "I must smell like sweat and sex." She giggled to herself.

The Dragon Champion groaned in approval as he tightened his hold on her. "Yeah, and it smell's incredible." He drawled lustfully.

Mira lifter her head to look into his half lidded eyes with her own. She smiled warmly at him before planting a kiss on his lips. She had to pull away before Natsu had a chance to reciprocate the kiss.

"Oh great." He heard her grumble sarcastically. She crawled out of bed and stumbled towards their on suite bathroom. Natsu was notably mesmerised by his wife's stark naked body, even if she was stumbling a bit more than usual. After she disappeared into the bathroom he heard the unmistakable sounds of retching followed by Mira evacuating her stomach into the toilet bowl.

"Damn it." Natsu grumbled before he stood up and quickly made his way into the bathroom behind her. "Morning sickness."

"So who will take Mira's place?" Asked a blue white winged fur ball. Happy had a glass of juice clutched between his paws that he drank through a wild silly straw as he sat on the bar counter in front of Natsu in the guild hall.

Natsu really had no idea how to answer him. Jet was strong but had never really 'shone' whenever he was placed in a leadership role. Droy, despite his recent power surge, had very little self-confidence and thus wouldn't have been a great choice either. Ultear definitely hade leadership experience but unfortunately quite a few of the younger members of the guild still didn't fully trust her.

That really only left Happy unless whomever took Mira's place on the team would be better suited.

Happy had been with Natsu through thick and thin. Natsu trusted Happy with his life, hell he trusted the small Exceed with the lives of his wife and children!

Happy had certainly become a very powerful mage over recent years but he still had the tendency to get overly flustered at times.

Natsu was pretty sure he was going to ask Meredy to take Mira's place but the girl wouldn't make a good choice for leader either. Herself and Ultear had a very strong bond as mother and daughter despite the fact Ultear was probably only eight or nine years older than the young pinkette, but they also had a very strong but friendly rivalry that would pretty munch ensure that neither would listen to the other when push came to shove in a contest that wasn't going to be life threatening.

Ultear and Meredy were out as far as choosing a leader went. Jet had little to no potential as a leader and neither did Droy so they were also out.

Happy though…

He was the strongest of all the S-class mages apart from Mirajane. He was essentially, personality wise, a smaller version of Natsu at times and if Natsu could so successfully lead a guild as insane as Fairy Tale why couldn't Happy lead the guilds team at the Grand Magic Games?

Natsu smirked wickedly behind his clasped hands, elbows propped up on the counter top.

Happy could still remember when Natsu had started using that smile when he conjured up his wicked ideas; it was at the same time the smile started appearing on Mira's face like it did when she was younger.

"Natsu?" Happy croaked cautiously in question.

"How about you little bud?" Natsu spoke quietly, his eyes sparkling darkly.

Happy shot off the bar in seconds. "No way! I can't do that!"

Natsu laughed sadistically but still jovially. "Of course you can buddy, and I'm going to teach you how to do it spectacularly!" Natsu boasted loudly before throwing his head back and laughing maniacally.

From beside him Natsu heard his daughter giggle beneath her breath. "Like I said yesterday, Daddy is so cool when he's bad."

Natsu grinned evilly. He started walking towards the back door of the guild grabbing a weeping Happy by the scruff of his neck in one hand and picking up a confused Faye by the collar of her shirt in the other.

"Daddy?" Faye questioned.

"You're coming too Faye, you need to learn as well." He spoke through his grin.

Faye's eyes widened before she started struggling in her father's grasp. "No! I hate learning!" she screeched.

Natsu turned to see his son standing by the bar looking at them questioningly. Natsu was very good at making sure neither of his children ever felt left out. "Yo Iggy! You coming little dude?"

Iggy smiled brightly at his dad before racing after them, unlike his sister he enjoyed learning and loved the fact that his dad knew that and made sure to teach him as much as possible even if Faye was more like him than Iggy was.

Of course Happy had been the right choice, after Natsu's training of course. Not only had Happy led the team of Fairy Tail to victory that year but also every year since even when Mira became eligible to compete again after giving birth to their third child, another pink haired girl.

It had been seven long, arduous and gruelling years since the Tenrou team disappeared. Seven years filled with some of the most amazing moments anyone could ever imagine.

However on this current day it was apparently becoming one of those days for Natsu.

Trust Happy and Romeo to carry on his destructive ways after he became the guild master.

Paperwork, paperwork and more paperwork. Paperwork as far as the eye could see. Natsu swore that the next time those two go on a mission together again, which was a certainty considering they were a team, he was going to send someone to keep an eye on them.

Jet and Droy wouldn't do as they were too destructive as well often adding to his pile of work. Ultear and Meredy were responsible when they weren't competing with each other, which happened almost daily. He couldn't send Mira because that would mean she would have to leave him and he always hated that as did their kids!

Faye and Iggy were six now, and his youngest girl Paige Lucy Dragneel was almost one and a half and a complete mummy's girl.

Natsu had left the cramped confines of his office almost an hour ago and now the twenty four year old guild master was seated cross legged on the bar counter with a lop sided grin and mug of ale as he watched the mayhem that was his guild.

It hadn't taken long for Romeo and Happy to start a guild wide brawl which was currently still raging, new members and old slugging each other every which way with smiles on their faces. Iggy was sitting with his mother and Ultear a little further down the bar, Meredy was laughing her ass off in the brawl. Faye was darting around in the rafters above the guild throwing small and almost harmless fireballs at the unsuspecting people below her giggling evilly to herself the whole time.

"I hope things stay like this forever." Natsu said quietly to himself before lifting his mug to his face so he could drink.

He heard a light giggle from beside him and turned to see his wife standing by him with Paige tucked safely in her arms. "I hope so too." She responded in a whisper.

Natsu smiled before looking to the ceiling above him. "I hope you're listening." Natsu chuckled as he spoke to the sky. Mira chuckled at him lightly as well.

"Menn!" Came a strange yet familiar loud voice from outside of the guild followed by a loud crash.

"Oh no…" Mira stated with a giggle.

"Why do you torment me so?" Natsu shouted at the roof above him in hopes of his voice reaching which over god saw fit to send Ichiya of Blue Pegasus to him.

The guild quietened down a bit as they waited for the unusual man. And with as much gusto as he normally did, the guild hall doors were thrown open revealing the short man with his usual entourage of the three pretty boy mages.

"Menn! The parfum in the air brings much joy to my aching heart!" Ichiya declared loudly as he dropped to one knee and raised his right arm to shoulder height in his amateur dramatics. "Splendid! Simply splendid!"

A few of the newer female members of the guild began to swoon at three pretty boys who were standing behind their odd mentor.

"Ichiya." Natsu greeted casually as he moved towards him. "How can we help you?" He asked, he was hopeful he could get this out of the way quickly so the strange scent obsessed man could be on his merry and slightly disturbed way.

"Menn!" Ichiya shouted as he stood back up after holding his pose silently for almost a minute. "We come bearing grand news and hopeful tidings!" He replied loudly, and annoyingly vague.

One of the pretty boys, Ren, decided to elaborate on behalf of his mentor.

"We've been keeping an eye on the waters where Tenrojima once dwelled." He stated.

Natsu cocked a brow at that. "Oh? And?"

Ichiya then spoke loudly. "Strange magics are circling the area! We were heading there to investigate. We thought it prudent to inform you in case you wished to join us?"

Natsu looked to the white haired woman beside him who nodded to him in affirmation. It certainly wouldn't be the first time they had ventured back to the site where Tenrojima once rested in hopes of finding clues to their family's disappearance.

"Sure." Natsu replied with a soft smile that rarely found its way to his face as he was usually far too cheery. Silently he motioned towards Happy, Romeo, Jet, Droy and Mirajane signalling to them that they would be joining him. "We're ready to go when you are."

Boom!

Chapter 7 done.

During the next chapter we're all going to see what makes Happy so powerful, I've been working on his magic and abilities for ages and have a pretty sweet plan so far.

Quick recap on the Kids:

Faye Lissana Dragneel, age 6.

Igneel 'Iggy' Makarov Dragneel, age 6 (two minutes younger than Faye)

Paige Lucy Dragneel, age 1 and a ½

Hopefully I'll have more for you soon but I'll most likely have an update for 'The Ember Wolf' before anything else… possibly… maybe… We'll have to wait and see.

May the forces of evil get lost on the way to your house!
