"Mann natsu.. why do you always have to be sick in the morning?"
*happy complained as he and natsu where heading back home now as it took them an extra 4 days to complete the mission of helping burning some fire wood to make a ash fertilizer for the towns crops. It would have been done faster if natsu wasn't motion sick every 5-10 min from morning to noon.*
"Shut up happy..~ this is a good thing~….*gag* I can't wait to see luce again.."
*natsu was so happy inside not even his damn morning-motion sickness would get in his way of knowing that lucy was finally pregnant again..*
"Yeah yeah… hurry up and finish puking.. I'll carry you back to the guild so I can see my darling carla again!<3"
*happy finally managed to woo the white feline as she gave in to his constant bribe of fish. She agreed to go on a date that weekend so he was excited.*
Natsu finally managed to spill as much of his fluids as he calmed down and gave the okay' for happy to begin flying them to the guild now.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
-At the guild-
Natsu arrived with happy at the guild doors as he weakly opened them to waltz inside. Mira found this as weird as she got a pint of alcohol and fire for him ready to chug down.
"Man natsu, what happened to you? Wasn't the mission easy?.."
"Yes it was easy mira… it's just I'm happy.."
*natsu unconvincingly told mira who only handed him the pint as he chugged it down and gave her the paper back with a stamp of mission completed on it.*
"Oh! That reminds me you have a message from sting I believe?… steel has been holding onto the note for a while now so you should go get it."
*mira pointed in steels direction as natsu nodded his head and made his way to steel.*
"Hey buddy, I heard sting gave you a message?"
*natsu asked as steel smiled brightly at him with a grin that would try copying the way natsu grinned but wasn't quite the same.*
"Natsu! It's been so long! Yeah sting gave me this flimsy note.. I don't know what it is about.. oh! Will you train me natsu to become a dragon slayer like you??! I can't quite figure out how to crack my magic open yet…"
*sting was 12 now as he felt like he was falling behind. He's a late bloomer in getting his magic to work.. so now he was going to ask for help from natsu.*
"Hmmm… me teaching you? Isn't that a bit dangerous?"
"But you train Nashi!!! And she's younger then me!!"
*steel protested as natsu gave him a face not knowing what steel meant by that.*
"Yeah I train her because she will burn the whole house down if I didn't… but your magic seems a bit stuck… why don't you come over oneday to our home to ask Lucy for help.. your magic seems to be sealed and Lucy is great at magic control she should be able to help."
*natsu concluded as he got the paper that steel handed to him and opened up the note without carrying what it said in the outside. (Hence it was for lucia but natsu didn't read the 'for lucia' part)*
'I will return soon to finish whatever we started.. -sting '
This made natsu kind creep out and curious as to why sting would write such a ominous message. He lit it on fire a proceeded to eat it as it vanished, the burnt paper had turn into flames and tasted a bit tacky but anything was good for him after having nothing in his stomach.
"Aww…. Ok natsu…. I'll just ask Lucy then, hey! Say hi to Nashi and Liddan for me?"
*steel had a warmed up to the Dragneel kids and honestly thought of them as his little siblings. Nashi reminded him of that one orphan girl he used to play with but had forgotten her name… he missed her.*
"Sure thing kid,"
Natsu have steel a rustle to his pink hair like his as he waved goodbye and made his way home. He began first as a walk when he exited the guild but as soon as he saw the pavement under his feet turn into a dirt road, he began sprinting.
'Oh luce! I can't wait to see you!'
Natsu jumped up as he gave out a huge roar to the sky as he kept running twords their home, the dragneel residence…
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Lucy hadn't tooken a mission in the past 8 days… one for certain was she didn't want to leave lucia alone after what her father Hector was capable of doing. The second was that she had just found out 2 days ago she was pregnant. She didn't know how but she just got curious oneday and decided to take a pregnancy test, and surprise it was positive!
Lucy couldn't wait to tell natsu of the good news.
At the moment Lucy was baking some cookies for the kids who were playing outside, making flower crowns, and listening to lucia who asked to babysit the children of fairy tail. Makarov told her he would pay her and consider letting her join as a member of fairy tail but she shook her head as she couldn't control magic and was not talented or more likely interested in ever using it.
She sang a song to Liddan, Jay, Gina, and Esmeralda sat by her feet as she showed Nashi and Gine make flower crowns. While Laurie and letisha played with Asuka who was now 11 years old (Author: awww it's been awhile asuka :) )
Lucy was making her way out of the house with a plate of cookies. She ate one sneakily as she sat by lucia giving the cookies out to the kids. She could get used to this, lucia gave her plenty of help in cleaning and the kids weren't so bad to take care with lucia babysitting them. Somehow they all grown to love her, lucy thinks it's because she looks like a sad Angel with her dull blond hair and very peaceful face expressions.
"Oh lucy, are you feeling well?"
*lucia was told about the pregnancy which made lucia happy for her. She took it as her responsibility to make sure she can comfort her cousin as much as possible till her husband came back. Lucy didn't like the kind gesture but soon submitted to this treatment in defeat.*
"Yes I'm feeling well, *sigh* I just can't wait for natsu to come home already.."
"Yeah mommy, I want to see daddy too so we can tell him about the baby!"
*Nashi spoke up now as she was super excited to see her dad again. All the kids looked at her as they ate their share of cookies and some milk.*
"Yeah Nashi, we will surprise daddy for sure.."
Just then, heavy footsteps were heard as they approached from behind Lucy and lucia while the kids saw the person approaching at a fast rate.
"LUCY!!!!!"
"Na-"
Lucy was picked up as natsu carried her bridal style on his arms as much as he could as he looked up to her while spinning her around.
"Lucy!!! Is it true?!? Is it really true?!?"
Lucy baffled at how natsu would have known but just nodded confirming his suspicions. At this natsu smiled more foolishly as he laughed hysterically now as he placed her down and kissed every inch of her face. The kids covered each other's eyes while Nashi gagged at seeing her daddy so smitten about her mommy while lucia laughed at how funny Nashi looked.
It was a beautiful day for everyone…
