A/N: Okay, my sister's pregnant so I decided to write about babies. :3 Enjoy! I don't own Fairy Tail.
Prompt: Baby
It was impossible to miss the look of pride on Natsu's face as Lucy played with their newborn. The boy giggled in her arms for a moment, and then he was asleep.
Lucy sure was good with babies. There were too many times in Natsu's past where a baby was handed to him and he stood stiff as a board, waiting for it to stop crying because it sensed his nervousness. But something about the adoration in Lucy's eyes as she watched the baby sleep made Natsu believe this time would be different.
This baby was his, and he would raise him properly and without nervousness if it was the last thing he did.

Hours later, the baby awoke and began crying for its mother. As Natsu held the baby silently in his warm arms, he did his best not to tense at the sound but for some reason, he couldn't stop himself from doing so.
Not five feet from him lie Lucy, sleeping like a rock from exhaustion, yet stirring at the sound of her son's cries.
"Lucy…" he called uncertainly, bringing one finger to his son's face. The moment Natsu's finger touched his face, the baby moved his head to find said finger and began suckling it. Natsu looked confused for a moment before chuckling. "Oh, I see. Lucy, you have to get up."
A muffled 'shut up,' came from the bed, so Natsu promptly made his way around the bed to show Lucy. Her eyes fluttered open prettily and she giggled at the sight of Natsu's finger being sucked on by his son. After a moment of watching, she sat up and put her hands out to receive the baby whilst pulling up one side of her shirt. Natsu simply observed as Lucy fed the baby. Lucy watched the baby for a moment before looking over at Natsu and speaking.
"What should we name him?"
They spent a while debating. 'Natsu II' was considered, as was 'Ichiro,' but eventually, they settled with the perfect name for him.
"Daitaro Fuyu Dragneel," Natsu spoke the name with pride.
"Daitaro Fuyu Dragneel," Lucy repeated with a nod, pushing back her son's salmon-colored hair. She noticed Natsu looking uncertainly at the newborn. Lucy smiled and reached over, ruffling the now grown man's hair. "Don't worry, Natsu. You're going to make a great father."
Natsu couldn't help but grin at her reassuring words.

A/N: Okay, it's short again, but it's longer than last time. I hope you enjoyed! :D I'm posting one for NejiHina in a few minutes called 'Dare' and it's pretty short, but I hope you like it anyways. Also! Daitaro stands for Great First Son, and Fuyu stands for Winter. Read together, though, I'm not sure what it means. D: But anyway, review if you want.
