It's been now 2 months since lucia has left to Crocus, lucy began to get worried about her hump as it was growing at a alarming rate and natsu should have stopped his morning-motion sickness by the 2nd trimester like always but she has been finding herself being woken up by his vomiting.
Enough was enough, she had to see a doctor on why she was growing so big. So she got Nashi and Liddan ready early morning before natsu could wake up as they all left to the guild to get dropped off with steel and Asuka who seemed like good friends after a while of getting to know one another finally. Lucy began to walk to the nearest clinic she had gone to with natsu before when she lives in her old apartment still. As she arrived she signed herself in as she sat down in a seat to take a rest at her sore back.
"Oh geez, did she really have twins? That poor woman, but I heard not everyone has twins though it would be a miracle if one where to have triplets."
Lucy overheard two woman who were pregnant too talk about other pregnant ladies as she read through a magazine. She couldn't help a laugh at how ridiculous rumors must be to exaggerate having twins… but then again… levy had twins…
"Yeah it would be a miracle if a woman like us where to have triplets, oh dear just imagine all those diapers! True true! But I heard those pregnancies of twins are smaller babies, do you think it's the same with triplets?"
Finally Lucy couldn't help investing into hearing the conversation. She worried now if maybe she was going to have twins like levy.. she wouldn't mind but also was a bit afraid.
"Probably.. I don't think anyone here in magnolia has had triplets before.. but it really would be amazing to see a mother carry 3 bundles of joy!"
Finally the lady expressed as a nurse came out to call Lucy's name out. Lucy got up slowly as she began walking like if she was 7 months when she was only 5 months.
"Hmm Mrs. Dragneel? .."
*the doctor asked as he looked through all of her blood work. Everything seemed fine in his table but he saw something that got him curious about.*
"Yes? Is there something wrong again this time too doctor?"
*lucy was nervous as she already knew there was definitely something wrong with her again.*
"Oh no!, not at all! Your blood work seems great, it's just your levels are off the charts.. i just want to do a quick Ultra-magic, I want to see what's going on."
The doctor got the wand ready to pass it over Lucy's hump as she layed herself on a bed provided. Lucy sighed in relief hearing her baby's heartbeat through the screen the doctor looked at. But she saw the doctor blink and rub his eyes as to see clearer but only laughed as he shook his head.
"Now Mrs. Dragneel, it's nothing to worry but, I got to say. When I told you and your husband to try again, I didn't mean to multiply like rabbits… haha"
*lucy felt strange at the doctors comment but laughed a awkward laugh waiting for him to give her the news… she deeply knew now that she probably was having twins ..*
"Doctor, am I having twins?.."
"No Mrs. Dragneel, your not having twins. But triplets, congratulations Mrs. your probably the only young lady in magnolia with the first record of triplets. Here is a magic picture I took with the ultra-magic. It only shows the silhouettes but you have see each shadow has a core of magic… I see three, meaning your carrying 3 little dragneels."
*lucy laughed hysterically first as she didn't believe the doctor but as she saw the picture she looked at it and cried a bit… she thought of how she was going to tell natsu now.. mannn she hated this job of telling him things..*
The doctor gave her a bigger dose on vitamins and booklets on how to care for your body when carrying twins. Since nobody in magnolia ever had triplets,… until now as she walked out of the room and saw the two same ladies still sitting there.
Lucy felt a sense that she had to show off so she walked to the ladies and showed her 3 'bundles of joy' magic picture she got.
"Wish me luck, I'm having three this time around..~"
"Oh my! Congratulations! We hope you have a speedy recovery! Oh I can't wait to tell my nana about seeing triplets! Oh.. so how did you get triplets? Did your husband do something different with his diet?"
The two woman interrogated her as they had to know how did she convince not 1 or 2 but 3 babies. Lucy only smirked as she looked smug about her husband only responding with
'What can I say? He's just too good in bed'
Lucy walked away with her hump as she left behind two women blushing madly. Later on lucy cringed at what she said and blushed madly too.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
As Lucy got home the kids decided to change their clothes and go outside to play, they had a thing now where they were only allowed outside to play if they changed their clothes to that of those worn out abut and okay to dirty and tear. Same goes for there shoes since lucy couldn't be cleaning forever. They agreed and now changed their clothes and shoes before going out to play or coming inside.
Lucy sighed as she sat down on the couch as she rubbed her belly. Natsu soon came to her as he kissed her hump and began to talk to it while he laid by her lap.
"Well hello there~ who's my favorite little princess in there? I bet your gonna give Nashi a run for her money huh? Or will you be a boy this time? Man! I can't decide or tell what you are! Your hiding from daddy I see~ well when your born I'm going to show you how cool your daddy looks!"
Lucy giggled as she kept hearing natsu's claims. She decided it was time to tell him the BIG news.
"Natsu?"
"Huh? Yeah luce?"
"Your gonna have to build 2 more cribs.."
"Why? Is anyone from the guild have another one? Ha! They can compete all they want but I'll have the biggest family out of all of them!"
"No natsu, it will be for us.."
*lucy bit her lip as she waited for natsu's reaction. She only can see the back of his head by her lap so she really didn't know what face he was making.*
"2 more cribs… are you planning on adopting? I have nothing bad against that but why the sudden urge to adopt?"
*natsu really was dence at times, Lucy facepalmed as she got the picture she received at the clinic to show natsu now.. hopefully he will understand like this.*
"Here natsu, look at this…"
*natsu sat up now as he faced Lucy with a blank expression of confusion as he got the picture now to look at it. He first couldn't tell what he was looking at but then he realized it was a picture of his and Lucy's baby! He smiled widely as he saw the silhouette of a little hand on the left then another on the right and another one bellow…. 3 hands?*
"…."
"Natsu? Do you see 'them'?"
*lucy asked cautiosly as she saw natsu's smile turned that to a furrowed brow and focusing more on the picture in his hands… he looked like he was counting toes or something…*
"Lucy… are we having..?"
"Yes natsu… we are having triplets…"
*finally the cat was out the bag! She made some jazz hands to add to the surprise but saw natsu look at the picture as he froze…*
"Lucy…"
"Yes?"
"Lucy.."
"Yeeees?"
"LUCY!!!"
Lucy giggled as she repeated one more time.
"Yes!"
"Lucy, I think I probably over did it this time, hehe I'm sorry my darling~ but I did tell you I wasn't letting you lose another one and sticking it good this time~"
*natsu smiled stupidly as Lucy blushed at his foal mouth as she hit him on the shoulder!*
"Natsu!!! You dirty dragon!!"
"Yeah I'm soooo dirty that I got you not 1 or 2 but a special of 3 babies growing inside you luce!!! LUCY WE ARE HAVING TRIPLETS!! OH MY MAVIS!!! I HAVE TO MAKE THE OTHER 2 CRIBS NOW!! HOW WILL I FINSIH!!! LUCY!!! IM A PAPA AGAIN!!"
*and with that natsu fainted as his brain finally registered that he was gonna be a father of 5 now… lucy called for Nashi and Liddan to quickly get their father some water and to help her wake him up! All that was heard throughout the room was how natsu began counting hoping little baby Nashi's and Liddan's he would have at this rate..*
