It took 2 days to get back by train, the whole time Erza, Lily and even Natsu, while he wasnt puking, told him about his son. Natsu's daughter, Rose, being Steel's best friend and the only kid he would get along with. Gray and Juvia had twins a boy and girl that were just over a year old now, Rose would often squabble with the small Ice make daughter, while Steel would often push the younger water wizard son away when he got too close. Erza's son being 4 now was often referring between the tots. Natsu told Gajeel about all the trouble Lucy would find the two in when Levy had to go off on a job. Once she had caught Steel climbing in to Rose's crib at nap time after he managed to chew a hole in his travel bed that Levy would bring over. He once caught Rose feeding Steel spoons from the kitchen cabinet after he had pushed her high chair over to the counter.

"Those two will be the death of us all once they hit teen years" Erza shook her head. "Better start saving up to rebuild the guild you two because they will probably destroy it by the time they are 10" Both the dragon slayers nervously laughed at the thought. 'Shit didnt think of that' they both thought.

"Natsu does your little one posses fire magic or did she end up with Lucy's?" Lily asked, he wanted to know what kind of trouble to prepare for in the future. Natsu flashed a huge smile at the exceed.

"Mine duh, pink hair and all. Only thing she got from Lucy was that she's a girl and pouts to get her way"

"Gihee, sounds like we both have our hands full. I can't wait to meet my little guy" Just then the train came to a stop, causing both dragon slayers to lose their lunch.

"Were here lets go you two" Erza grabs Natsu and leaves the train cart.

"Come on Gajeel let's go home" Helping the dragon slayer up off the ground and grabbing his rucksack they head out of the train station. The house was on the opposite side of magnolia, they had to walk through the main part of town to get home.

"Oi Lily, go on home I got something to do before I come home. Don't tell Levy k?"

"She's gonna want to know why we're back so soon?"

"Yer good at stalling , stall her I won't be long" Gajeel looked around the streets a lot of shops that were here years ago were gone or moved. He stopped by a cafe and asked where the nearest book store was. He was directed down the road to a shady part of town. 'Odd for a bookstore to be down on this part of town, but the best books are usually found in these places.' Or so he learned from years of following the shrimp while she shopped. Finally at the end of a dead end street he found the small book shop. Going in he looked through some of the older books on the shelves. A large book on the top shelf caught his eye. He looked over the worn book. Green in color, covered with years of dust and grim made the cover unreadable. It smelled of old paper, soot and tobacco, which made him sneeze. Opening it up he seen that it was written  in his native language. A language which he was starting to teach Levy before he left. He grabbed a few other rare books and headed to the counter. In the glass display case a small book caught his attention. It was gold, about the size of his palm but thick. "Oi I'd like to look at that one" He pointed to the golden book. The woman behind the counter handed it to him, It was heavier than he expected, taking a sniff at it determined that it was 100% real gold. His fingers traced over the intricate design of a dragon on the cover. A silver clasp held the book closed. Gently opening it to discover page after page of nothing.

"Its a journal sir" The lady told him as he stared at it confused for a minute.

"I take it and these" he slammed the other books down on the counter. Paying a ridiculous amount of jewel and walked out of the store to head home.
