After 2 days recuperating in the guild's medical rooms. Natsu finally found a steady schedule that revolved around Nashi's sleep schedule. First he would change her diaper which he learned with help from porlyusica and levy. Second he would begin making formula ready for Nashi 10-30 min before she woke up in time for her every 2 hour feeding with the following of burping her no matter what. He made a mistake of letting her sleep without burping her which caused her to choke on her burp with milk. This made him panic but thankfully Porlyusica was there. Third if she pooped too much he would bath her in warm water to make sure she was nice, clean and smelling like flowers and baby powder. And finally when Nashi would take a nap after her feedings, natsu would take a short nap with her till he felt her move or begin to stir awake.
It was hard the first few hours getting accustomed to it but on the 1st day threw he began getting the hang of it and now the 2nd day was a bit easier. But, natsu began to worry about Lucy, it was the 2nd day she's been asleep. Did delivering the baby take a huge toll on her? Porlyusica told him it was fine, after hearing Nashi's history of feeding off natsu's fire every time he would touch Lucy in the beginning of the pregnancy. Porlyusica made a discovery that during Nashi's delivery, Lucy had been leaking some magic from her placenta which meant that Nashi had been leaching off her for all those 9 months. Porlyusica never saw a case like that but after running some research on celestial mages, it seemed to be normal for babies to be magic suckers. Which is why their was a old tale of how celestial mage pregnancy's were blessings, since the child would be blessed with stronger magic from both parents if they both possessed magic. But if it was a single parent, the child would mooch off the single parent more than usual. This made natsu look at Nashi who only mimicked his stare. Natsu couldn't help being serious with his daughter, she was simply too cute! Which is why he wanted Lucy to wake up already and see her!
_____________________________________________
-At the guild-
Somehow Porlyusica convinced natsu to take Nashi down stairs for a bit to begin letting her observe and grow customaed to loud noises. Like this Nashi wouldn't wake up at home no matter how much noise goes on.
As natsu made his way down stairs with his baby basket which held Nashi inside, he earned a few looks at him. He didn't know what the basterds were looking at but he didn't pay mine as he made his way to a table setting down Nashi on the table for him to stare at her beautiful sleeping face. He can look at her all day~
"Well, Well, Well, so your kid was finally born? Can I take a peek?"
*gajeel asked natsu as he carried the twins in each arm who they both were wide awake but didn't mind being carried by their fathers strong arms.*
"Hmm…. Sure, but be quiet she just fell asleep."
*natsu gave in as he turned the basket to show Gajeel his daughter.*
"Oh my god, your kid looks just like you! Haha! You lucky bastard! So what is the gender? Boy or girl?"
"It's a girl metal head!…
*natsu turned the basket back to himself as he looked at her with such warmth and smitten look in his eyes*
She's my princess… I never felt this way in my life…"
*gajeel sort of related as he remembered how levy had given birth to his twins and he had cried of joy and somewhere along the line, he became so attached to his kids, it's almost like a calling.*
"Yeah yeah yeah, I get it all pink fluff. It really is the best feeling in the world, but don't go spoiling her now. You still have Lucy who holds priority over your princess geehee!"
*suddenly natsu heard to smaller geehee's coming from gajeel. Gajeel just looked down and was smiling so wide it scared natsu a bit.*
"OI!!!! SHRIMP!!! The TWINS LAUGHED LIKE ME!!"
All that was seen was a metal dragon slayer running twords a blue haired woman in the distance. All of a sudden a group of some of the fairy tail members began peeking behind natsu and his basket. They saw a cute doll with pink cheek and spiky straight hair sleeping soundly. They began to make noise as natsu just smiled and began to answer their questions.
*Nashi grew fuzzy of all the noise clouding her head as she tried to see what was happening but forgot how to 'open' the things that let her see a blurry world. Suddenly she heard a familiar voice! It was the same thing that saved her from the painful thing the other day! As she struggled to locate where that sound was coming from, she managed to blink and open her eyes now. She showed the members who gathered around her comfy basket her beautiful black round princess like eyes. They all yelled out a 'AWWWW!' Which startled Nashi. Nashi didn't know what she was seeing, to her it looked frightening as she saw many arms and heads all in one blob. She began to tear up in her glossy eyes which to her made the blobs scarier, but to the members a cuter baby!*
"Awwww! Natsu she has your eyes and hair! Awww look at her eyes they look so pretty! Her eyelashes are so long! I think I see Lucy's nose! Bet she will be a fine beauty like her mother!"
*all the members seemed to drown out the whimpering Nashi from natsu's super hearing. Natsu had his back to Nashi never noticing she had woken up already.*
"Ah, it's nothing thank you really… she was a lot of work to take care of that's all. Don't mention it. Of course she's beautiful! She's my daughter after all!"
*natsu felt great about bragging about his daughters cuteness till his world shattered at Nashi's whimpers that turned into scared cries.*
"Awww oh no she's scared we're sorry baby!-"
*the members where caught off as natsu turned and reached for his little girl and pulled her out of the basket in her pink blanket onsie she wore.*
"Sh, shh, shhh, daddy's got you… don't worry papa's here now~ oohhh my poor little Nashi was scared? Awww poor baby~"
Everyone was too stunned to speak as they saw a violent natsu become the perfect daddy material within seconds, even some of the members cried and decided to walk away from the bitterness of not getting their fathers love like natsu.
-Nashi's pov-
*im scared, please someone help, that thing please, if you can hear me, help me again, please come back,*
Nashi felt the families warmth around her body again as she was raised from where she was laying and was brought close to something's face. She could tell it had to round this with something in the middle and one long thing at the bottom that would make noises and move. Finally Nashi fisted her tiny hands at the thing slapping her hands on the things face.
*hmm it seems to feel soft, and warm like the thing from before, I can't see very well but I can tell it them because I can somehow tell… *
Nashi then heard the booming voice of the 'thing' she claimed 'safe'.
"Sh, shh, shhh, d——y's —t. —-… do— —-ry pa-pa h-re n—~ oooo— — po— li—le N—i w— s—-ed? —ww po— ba-ba—~"
*do? pa-pa? oo? What does all that mean? I'm sorry thing but I can't still understand your funny noise your making with the weird moving long thing, but it's funny!*
Finally she managed a giggle out of her mouth as she saw the 'thing' understood her laugh. She began thinking what other noise can she make to get the weird 'thing' to teach her how to do…
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Lucy managed to wake up now, it felt like she had been hit by a sack of bricks over and over. As she made a attempt to sit someone stopped her. She looked and saw it was Porlyusica.
"Hello Porlyusica, how did everything go? Is my baby ok?"
*Lucy went directly to asking what was in her mind. Last thing she remembers was hearing Nashi's crying and natsu telling her 'thank you' before she blacked out.*
"She's fine, she's a strong one for sure! She's downstairs watching her goofy father take care of her."
* Porlyusica smirked remembering how Nashi would smile toothlessly like her father who smiled back at her with his full set of teeth.*
" that's good… when do you think they will come back up? I want to see my little Nashi…"
"Relax she will be here any second, by the ways are you going to start nursing Nashi or no?"
"Yes! I forgot about that! Oh no, I hope I didn't leave her hungry for so long!"
*lucy began to panic which Porlyusica calmed her,*
"Don't worry I trained the stubborn fool to become a 101 expert on handling the baby in 2 days that you have been sleeping away."
* Porlyusica held out her fingers in a 'V' pose as she looked smug about it..*
*lucys eyes grew the size of saucers as she heard she's been asleep for 2 whole days.*
"What?!?"
At the same time natsu and Nashi came in threw the door as natsu froze with the basket in his arm.
He looked at the goddess in front of him. Lucys hair had turned into a gold curly wavy texture for being in bed for so long but as she sat up he could see her glow more than ever. She wasn't pale anymore like she had been during her pregnancy but mannnn if it wasn't for him carrying Nashi, he would have kissed her then and there. With Porlyusica reading natsu's body language and mind , she chuckled before she left and made one last command.
"Ok my work here is done, you kids can go home anytime Lucy is well enough to walk on her own and natsu… don't touch her till after your daughter is old enough to crawl understand twerp!"
*natsu turning red as he understood what Porlyusica meant by 'touch' while Lucy only thought Porlyusica meant 'touch' as in don't touch Lucy because her body is still sore from giving birth type of way. Natsu finally turned around to look at lucy again as he approached her now with the basket.*
"Lucy? Are you ready to see our beautiful Nashi?"
*lucy took a deep breath in, as she sat up in a comfortable spot to hold Nashi*
"Yes Natsu, I'm ready.."
*natsu placed the basket on the bed as he carried Nashi out supporting her neck and head as he placed her now in Lucy's cradle like arms.*
"Hi baby… it's me, your mama… aww your so adorable, you look just like your father little one…"
*lucy kept cooing at Nashi who now was trying to reach out to pieces of Lucy's hair that has come undone from her messy bun. Nashi felt a connection to this new 'thing'. She senses the thing shared the same warmth of her late pouch as she grabbed onto pieces of Lucy's clothing as she began to numbly bite and drool over it.*
"Natsu I think she's hungry, have you feed her?"
"No, your probably right… I should go get the formula ready-"
"Wait natsu! Let me try breast feeding her.."
*lucy began to get a warm blush in her cheeks as she began to strip her side of her hospital gown Nashi's head was on. Natsu got a blush as well because he only ever saw lucy naked in two different places, in the battle field or in their bedroom…. But soon he began to watch in amazement as lucy began breast feeding the hungry nashi. Nashi would go into what looked like hyper-zooming mode, she would shake her head viciously trying to suck as much milk from lucy. Natsu and Lucy couldn't hold in their laughter anymore as it became too funny to keep quiet.*
"She has your appetite as well natsu, *sigh* I hope I have enough to fill her little tummy up…"
"Don't worry you will lucy, she is part of you too luce.."
They stared at each other then glanced down at a tired out Nashi who began to dose off into sleep. Natsu gently carried her up to burp her and showed lucy what to do for the next feeding. They enjoyed their alone time catching up on what natsu has seen Nashi do. She spent there time laughing and giggling as Nashi woke up a bit later without them noticing and smiled at the blond and pink blobs in her vision.
