Chapter 10

Lucy's POV

My Wedding...

"Your welcome child! Now let's go!" That was all that I needed... I felt content and happy.

As the door opened, the sun's golden rays lit the path before me... Towards my future. It was a beautiful day, the birds were singing as there wasn't a cloud in the sky... It was perfect. Our family was there and that was the most important thing... That made my day so much more... Not only perfect, but memorable!

Mira had really out done herself, but I wouldn't expect anything less from her. She's truly one of a kind and I'm happy to call her my sister. My only regret was... My Mother wasn't here to share it with me. I had often dreamt of this day and in every dream it was always the same... Natsu would be waiting for me at the end of my long walk and today was no different. Except this time he was really waiting there for me. Even as a child I think it was Natsu who waited for me, at least that what I'd like to believe.

A red carpet littered with white rose peddles laid before me. Sitting on white chairs on either side, our smiling friends. Ahead the bridal party on one side and the groomsmen on the other. Between them stood Natsu, his white Tuxedo sparkled in contrast to his spiky salmon hair, I smiled behind my veil as my excitement became evident. Standing behind Natsu was Gildarts and I couldn't help but smile at the thought of being married by him... It was perfect!

I could barely contain myself... But Master just squeezed my hand, smiled and slowly started walking as music filled the air. "Thank Mavis it's not Gajeel playing!" I mumbled as I noticed Master stop and then burst out laughing.

"Sorry child! But that was just too funny!" Master said as I bumped him with my hip... But it was no use as we turned towards one another and laughed.

"Luce! What's so funny?" Natsu smirked.

"Gajeel!... I was afraid Gajeel would be singing!" I said as I shook my head and laughed.

"He wanted too but Nee-san tied him up!" Lisanna laughed as I noticed that Gajeel was really tied up. Everyone burst into laughter. Which made me smile... Even on my wedding day, this was still the Fairy Tail that I loved so much.

"Gi! HI! HI!... Not funny Mira-san! Now untie me!... Bunny Girl! Help!" He looked so helpless I had to give in.

"NATSU!" I yelled and motioned towards Gajeel.

"Yes Dear!" Natsu sighed and released Gajeel.

"HAHAHA! Whipped already Flame-brain!"

"Lucy's the man!"

"GI HI HI HI!"

"Aye! Sir!"

As the laughter continued I could sense an evil aura and a few seconds later everyone turned towards Mira who was not laughing... She growled and the place went quiet in a flash. Not a word was spoke until Mira spoke. "That's better! Now please continue!" We all got back to why we were there. I could still hear Natsu and Gajeel mumble and I laughed to myself... Nothing ever changes, still Fairy Tail.

As we started to walk down the aisle again, Happy and Carla appeared carrying baskets. They dropped flower pedals as they walked ahead of us. Nearing the altar I noticed Loki and I smiled, it had been a while and it was nice to see him here. Master placed my hand in Natsu's hand and smiled, then leaned in to Natsu and whispered something. I guess he forgot I'm a Dragon Slayer. I laughed as Natsu quickly stood at attention... Master threatened him... "Hurt her and I'll pound you into the ground!" Which bought a smile to my face and a laugh from the other Dragon Slayers.

Master kissed me on the cheek and wished me luck. "Thank you!" I smiled as Master took a seat. I turned towards Natsu and grinned and he grinned back at me.

"AHEM!" Gildarts cleared his throat and started the ceremony. He spoke of love, commitment and companionship. (I'm not writing that... too mushy! LOL) I glanced towards Mira who was crying as Erza handed her a handkerchief, although I think she needed it more.

"May I have the rings please!" Gildarts smiled as Romeo and Wendy walked up to Mira, who was standing by me, she took one ring and then they walked over to Gray, who was standing... Let's back up here for a moment... Standing by Natsu was Loki, then Gajeel, next to him was Elfman and at the end was Gray. If Gray was Natsu's best man why was Loki standing by Natsu.

"Pssst! Natsu! Why is Gray down there?" I curiously asked as I looked from Natsu to Gray and back to Natsu again. Gildarts leaned in and laughed.

"They started a fight at the altar and Erza separated them!" Laughed Loki.

"WHAT!... IDIOTS!" I hung my head trying to hide my embarrassment. "You couldn't wait till after you were married to start a fight... You're both dead meat after this is over!" I growled at the both of them and everyone laughed.

"Lucy!... I get them first... You can have what's left of them!" Erza grinned.

"You better save me some!" I laughed as everyone suddenly went quiet, perhaps in fear for their lives.

"Love-rival is scary!" Juvia mumbled, again Dragon Slayer here... Great hearing!

I Growled at Juvia and then shouted, "FOR THE LAST TIME... I'M NOT YOUR LOVE-RIVAL! Geez! I'm marrying Natsu here, not Gray!" Juvia cowered back and started to sniffle and before I realized what I had done clouds started to roll in, as everyone shouted, "LUCY!"

I quickly ran over to Juvia and hugged her, "I'm so sorry Juvia! Please forgive me! It's those idiots I was mad at, not you. I'm sorry for taking it out on you!" I held her tight for a few moments until she relaxed and the clouds started to disappear as I sighed a sigh of relief.

"You're really not mad at Juvia!" She nervously said.

"Of course not! Now smile, it's a wedding! Ok!" She nodded and smiled.

"Good girl!" I said as I went back to stand by Natsu. I gave him a look just before I kicked him in the shin.

"OUCH! Luce! That hurt!" Natsu rubbed his leg while and everyone laughed when I stuck out my tongue and smiled.

"Shall we continue!" Gildarts smiled as he shook his head at Natsu and I. We both smiled and nodded 'yes'. Gray handed the ring to Natsu, his face lit up as he held it in his palm.

"Do you Natsu Dragneel take Lucy to be your wedded wife, to love and cherish for a long as you both shall live?"

"I Do!" Natsu grinned and placed his ring on my finger. Gildarts turned to me and smiled.

"Do you Lucy Heartfilia" he paused and smiled, "Strauss take Nats..." 'Strauss?' I thought, trying to figure it out... But I was confused!

"HUH!" I looked at Gildarts and then to Mira, who was now smiling, she motioned with her hand for us to continue.

"Lucy-chan! We'll explain later!... Go ahead!" I could feel tears forming in my eyes... I knew I missed something and it felt wonderful.

"We'll try that again... Do you Lucy Heartfilia Strauss take Natsu to be your wedded husband, to love and cherish for a long as you both shall live?"

"I-I Do!" I tried not to cry but it was a battle I was quickly loosing. Natsu smiled as I placed the ring on his finger. He then surprised everyone and pulled me into a tight hug before passionately kissing me.

"Well! That's one way of doing it!" Laughed Gildarts...

"May I present Mr. and Mrs. Natsu Dragneel!"

Everyone started to cheer and congratulate us. People were hugging us and all I could think was 'Strauss' I tried to understand but I couldn't... I needed to know! The next few minutes were a blur. When I came to my senses, everyone was in the Guild and only Natsu, myself, Mira, Lisanna and Elfman were left standing outside.

"Lucy-chan! We're sorry we should have discussed this with you before the wedding!" Mira said as she seemed to be pleading for forgiveness.

"Mira-nee! Why did Gildarts call me Lucy Strauss?"

"Sorry Lucy, that's my fault!... When you left Mira-nee was like Erza, Gray, Happy and Natsu... She was so sad, so lost. We couldn't get her or any of your old team out of their despair. We tried everything, but it was useless. Well! That was until your Mom came to us, she told us 'you were fine.' The guild came back to life after that, but it still took many more months for Mira and the rest of your team to slowly smile. So a few months back when your Mother showed up and said you'd be returning in two months, I asked if she would mind us making you apart of our family... She loved the idea!"

My eyes brightened as I started to realize what was going on... They... Adopt...

"I mentioned it to Mira-nee and Nii-san later that night and they both smiled and said 'YES' immediately. It was the first real smile Mira-nee had since you left... She was so excited! She chased Master around for the next week begging him to speak to the Magic Council. Her persistance paid off because three weeks ago it was made official... Lucy-nee you are now my older sister! So please don't blame Mira-nee it's my fau..." Lisanna said as I hugged her and started to cry. I thought this day couldn't get any better, but it did.

"Please don't apologize! I'm just so happy right now! I never thought I'd have a real family again... T-Thank you Lisa-chan!" I looked at Mira who was smiling and crying at the same time. She looked funny as she tried to decide which she wanted to do... Cry or Smile.

"Lucy-chan... You're not mad at us!" Elfman smiled.

"I told you Lucy would love the idea!" Natsu laughed and then it occurred to me that Natsu was in on this, so was everyone at Fairy Tail.

"I can't believe everything that's happened in only a few short days... I'm home with my friends, I'm an S-Class mage, I'm married and I now have two sisters and a brother... Life just doesn't get any better than this!"

"Thank you all so much! The only thing missing here is Erza, Gray and Happy!" I cried.

"You called!" Erza laughed as she happy and Gray appeared from behind a nearby tree.

"Why were you guys hiding?"

"We wanted to give you all a few moments of privacy," Gray said as he looked on with tears in his eyes.

"Clothes Gray!" Erza said as we all laughed.

"Now I have my family around me... Thank you all, for giving me a family and a home!" I looked around as my friends and family all smiled... And then it struck me and I jumped into Mira's arms, kissed her on the cheek and hugged her tightly.

"What's that for Lucy-chan? Mira smiled.

"That's for being the best big sister ever! Thank you for the wonderful wedding, and thank you for giving me a new family..."

"The End!" - Well... Almost!

Present Time...

"So how did my babies like our story?" I said as I hugged Layla all the while she giggled and turned around, kissing me on my cheek. A moment later Lucas was also in my arms kissing me. Natsu smiled and gave me a thumbs up... His approval of course!

"I liked it Luce! But more fighting next time!" Natsu laughed as I smiled and nodded 'yes.'

"Great story momma!" Layla laughed and all was right with the world...

I hope you all enjoyed my little story. It was fun to write and I will admit the characters were also fun to play with. I know I said I'd continue this story if you wanted me too... Well! I think I may just do that, but for the time being I will focus on my other story. hopefully Natsu and Lucy will be back early in the new year with a new adventure.

Please review and thank you all for reading...
