In our current view we see Erza gently rocking two sleeping babies in a rocking chair. While at the same time Ben was showing Ezra a photo album on the couch. "And here's a picture of your mother and I's first date" he said pointing to one picture.
It had Erza wrapped tightly in his arms on the beach near his house, "I'm surprised really, you're so mature for a few months" Ben added tickling Ezra. She giggled at it, "her deformity seemed to speed up her aging again" his wife said noticing. And she had been right, since Ezra's last growth spurt last month she got another again.
Now she looked about three, her daughter then seemed a little down because of that statement. "Hey it's okay baby" Erza said gesturing Ezra to come over, to which she did.
"That's what makes you special, you're big and strong like me and daddy" she said. Ezra looked at her little hands "I'm... strong?" She asked, "yes, you're so mature then your older siblings. And you're so cute and beautiful" Erza doted.
"And since your our kid, you're bound to become more so" Ben said, "Okay daddy" Ezra said now a little happier. "Man, things have been rather calm lately" Beth said a few feet away.
"You're right on that sis" Ben replied "there's nothing to do, for anyone else at least, me and Erza have our hands full" he added. "And aunt Lulu couldn't come over" Ezra said pouting, "she had to go on a job with Uncle Natsu, Uncle happy and big sisters Wendy and Amber" she added.
Ezra really did love her sisters, adopted or not both girls had shown great affection to their new little sister. Wendy was always making Ezra feel happy with her sweetness and Amber making her laugh with her outgoing personality. Not to mention her god mother and favorite non blood related aunt Lucy.
As said Ezra rather liked being around Lucy when her parents weren't around, and even gave her an adorable nickname. Aunt Lulu, she was like a combination of Wendy and Amber, she was so nice and sweet yet so cool and funny.
Oh rare moments Ezra would ask Ben and Erza to take her to Lucy's to visit, and as her parents they couldn't say no. No one could resist Ezra's cuteness, and there was also one more person.
"I wonder how Tahu's doing?" Ben said to himself, two weeks after they came back he met Tahu again. You know the fire mage who beat Natsu when Wendy first arrived.
He'd changed a lot, firstly he didn't use fire magic anymore, instead he had a magic similar to re-quip called swap. Like Erza's magic he can vary his arsenal of abilities only instead f armors he swaps out the gems in his sword. And has a large variety of gems which gives his swords different applications.
He even looked different, for one thing his hair was shorter and he lost the side burns. And for some reason he wore armor like Erza's only for males.
After a month the two have been good friends, "probably making my request for Hearts Cruz" Erza giggled. Did I forget to mention? Tahu also now works for Erza's favorite place to get armors from. And because of that she had repeatedly asked him for any new armors.
Ben chuckled knowing the poor guy was goin at rapid pace not wanting to deny the mighty Erza her armors.
The next day the Tennyson family was at the guild with the twins in the stroller and Ezra riding on Erza's shoulders. "Any new job requests?" Ben asked his wife, she shook her head "nothing safe enough for the kids to come with or have a high enough pay" she replied.
Ben groaned, Sure they weren't struggling to get by because of the money interest plant but it normally takes about one month for it to actually spit up more money. The real reason they wanted to go was to take their daughter on a nice easy safe first mission.
"Hey Ben" a voice said, looking back the gang saw Tahu coming into the guild hall. "Hey Tahu what's up?" Ben asked high fiving him, "I Uh... I decided to hang up a job request at the guild" he said.
He then took out a flier, "huh? Why do you want to all of a sudden?" Erza asked him. "Well because I've gotten lonely recently, I Uh never told anyone this but the town I lived in was attacked when I was only a few years old" Tahu explained.
"Oh?" The red head inquired, "Yeah, The place was ransacked and burned to the ground. I already knew my parents died but I had an older sister" the swordsman added.
"She hid me away from the town and went back in to help any survivors, but after that she never came back" he explained. "I'm sure she's still out there somewhere, so I need help to find her"
"Well if you need help, Fairy Tail's always welcome to" Ben had said while Erza nodded. "Thanks, Anyway I'll hang up this flier now" Tahu then put up a flier. The flier had said "need assistance finding long lost family member. Reward 50,000 jewels" and it had a picture of Tahu's sister.
From before she had vanished, "does this look good to you?" The sword mage asked the shapeshifter. "Looks fine to me" he answered, however Erza's were wide, as if she saw a ghost.
"Uh... yeah looks good to me?" She said before walking to Lucy who had just came in, "Uh Pardon Lucy But would you mind watching Ezra for a moment?" She asked. Lucy nodded and the red head went over to the boys again she told Tahu that he should join the guild. In order to get more information about his sister, at first he initially denied.
Then Erza got scary saying that he was joining, Ben was taken aback by this action. And to fearful to argue the swordsman reluctantly agreed, Erza then turned her attention to the smoothie machine and went to get one.
What no one hadn't noticed was, as she was walking she was crying for some reason "I... I can't believe... I forgot..." she muttered inaudibly. "He... he had... he had to live... seventeen years of his life... with out knowing... his own flesh and blood..." she added mortified.
With Ben and Tahu "what's up with Erza?" He asked, "she wasn't like that this morning" Ben replied. Then he looked at the photo on Tahu's flier "I have to say your sister does look familiar though" He commented.
"I can't remember anything else, I only got that photo because when me and my foster family went back to my old town... I found a picture of me in a house" Tahu explained. "And at the same time I saw a picture of a This girl to, when I tried to remember her all I could was fire... and red."
The next few days went by as normal, the universe's hero decided to do something constructive with all the free time he has while taking care of his kids. Ben is now seen at a large field with two goals on either side "Hey Ben what's going on?" Natsu asked his pal.
"Hey Natsu, Just setting something up" Ben explained before pulling out a black and white ball. "Since I got to this world I noticed one of my favorite sports wasn't mentioned" he said.
Erza then came over holding Ken and Kelly "so I assume you're going to bring it here as you did with your smoothies" she inquired. "Yup, this is called Soccer" Ben answered before setting the ball down and multiplying by 11 and running to either side of the court.
