After the Fairy Tail guild's journey had come to an end, they shared one final goodbye before each began to take their own separate paths, leaving their magic and powers behind to finally live ordinary lives. That was exactly what Lucy wanted after fulfilling her dream of being part of such adventurous journeys.

Lucy, despite her earlier reservations about dating, had given it a chance and found herself falling for a kind, handsome man. Before she knew it, she was waking up beside him each morning, then married, and soon after, the mother of two beautiful boys who were as mischievous as their father.

It was mid-summer, with golden sunlight illuminating the house in a bright glow as the sun blazed down on the city almost ruthlessly. The air conditioner had given up hours earlier, adding to the unbearable heat. Open windows and doors to the backyard provided the only semblance of coolness, with occasional small breezes trying to counter the boiling temperature inside.

The house echoed with the laughter of Daisuke as he ran circles around the rooms, with Lucy chasing behind him, a shirt in her hand. The boy refused to get dressed, a common tantrum that never seemed to get old.

As Lucy continued chasing Daisuke through the house, her breasts bounced freely—she was completely naked except for dark lacy panties that had half-slipped down her wide, child-bearing hips, revealing the curves of her rear. She didn't care if someone might glimpse her through the open doors and windows; roaming the house half-naked had become common, especially since summer began.

"Chasing after you is a real workout, you know that?" Lucy huffed in exasperation, finally managing to get the shirt over Daisuke's head as his little arms flailed and his laughter rang throughout the house. "And I wonder where you learned to be so mischievous.." she said, turning to glare playfully at her husband who had just entered the room. Her pretty brown eyes held only a glint of annoyance with no real heat behind them. Her skin glistened with a thin layer of sweat from the summer heat as she placed her hands on her widened hips, a pretty pout on her glossy lips.
