Natsu couldn't believe it! He was going to be a father!
The dragon-slayer thought as held onto the yelling Lucy's hand. He continued in his thoughts until an incredibly painful squeeze reached his hand and brought him back to reality.
Lucy was sweating more than she ever had in any of her battles, felt more pain than any of the of the torture she had suffered, but she knew it be worth it.
"Oh why, does labor have to be so painful?!" Lucy's barely manageable thoughts conjured.
"Come on Lucy! I know it's painful but you've gotta push through it!" Natsu said trying to be comforting to his agonized wife.
"If you hadn't felt agonizing pain like this before, I would've slapped you!" Lucy laughed dryly through gritted teeth knowing her husband had felt something similar.
Several hours later Lucy was almost done and ready for the final push.
"Alright Mrs. Heartfillia, one more." The doctor told her calmly.
Lucy's body was completely out of energy but she managed to muster one last push.
Lucy yelled with all her might and squeezed Natsu's hand full force.
Natsu felt the great pain in his hand and closed his eyes as he felt more pain then the last few pushes. It was then Natsu heard the cries of a wailing infant and felt the pressure leave his hand. He opened his eyes to see a beautiful baby with a full head of pink hair.
"It's a girl!" the doctor proclaimed, and handed the couple their child, wrapped in a white blanket.
Lucy held the little baby in her arms feeling more than just satisfied from all those hours of pain, but one of the purest forms of love, Motherhood.
"What should we name her?" Natsu said as he looked lovingly at his two most precious girls in his world.
"I was thinking Nashi..." Lucy said knowing the pink hair would most likely mean she'd be like her father.
"I love it…"
He stared at the child for a second before speaking again.
"How about I hold her while you get some well needed rest?!"
Natsu said with much eagerness, and Lucy couldn't resist his blushing smile.
"Alright! But only for an hour or two! I don't need that much sleep." Lucy said as she handed the little bundle gently to Natsu and almost immediately fell asleep.
Natsu looked down at the pink little girl in his arms and felt more pride and love that he had felt since he married Lucy. Nashi opened her chocolate brown eyes, clearly her mother's, and reached up at her father's face. Natsu pressed his face into the little baby and caused her to giggle a most adorable laugh.
"I know you are going to have me wrapped around your little finger baby girl" Natsu said wanting nothing more than this little girl's happiness and safety.
