"One year ago today, Lucy Heartfillia became Lucy Dragneel!" Gray laughed, "You'll cherish this year."

"Shut up Gray!" Lucy elbowed him in the side, "Just because you married Juvia a year before Natsu and I did doesn't make you better than us."

"Suit up Gray! Natsu found a high paying job!" Erza yelled.

"What about me?" Lucy asked.

"Stay at home and rest." Erza smiled at Lucy and her round belly.

"Okay." Lucy smiled. Natsu came up and kissed Lucy's cheek.

"See you in a couple days." Natsu rubbed Lucy's belly. The group of three set off on the mission.

"When are you due, in two weeks right?" Juvia walked toward Lucy holding a baby.

"Yeah, I'm kind of scared though." Lucy confessed.

"Its nothing to worry about, when you gaze into your child's eyes for the first time, it's life changing." Juvia said. She rocked her baby back and forth in her arms.

"Lucy your stomach is bigger than usual in the last stage though." Evergreen held a five year olds hand as they walked toward Lucy.

"Really? I just hope that Natsu comes back before he or she is born." Lucy sighed.

"You're right, anyway, decided on a name yet?" Evergreen asked.

"Ayame if it's a girl and Hayate if it's a boy." Lucy responded. The girls gossiped until it was time to go home.

Lucy walked home with a grocery bag in each hand, good thing I went grocery shopping so I wouldnt have to tomorrow. Lucy unlocked the door to her house, put the food away, and went to bed. I hope you're thinking about me Natsu.

"I bet my baby is going to look like Lucy! Let's hurry up this mission so I can see her!" Natsu said.

"Natsu, stop talking about your family and focus!" Gray said, "Plus, Kai is going to be stronger than your child will ever be!"

"Shut up! Both of you, I found the mansion!" Erza said. Gray and Natsu shut their mouths and stared at the mansion.

"We infiltrate the building, take the item and leave!" Erza snuck in with Natsu and Gray and the search the whole mansion.

"Nothing!" Natsu said.

"Shut it!" Erza said again.

"Who's there?" A low voice said. Erza gave Natsu a menacing look.

"Who ate you and want do you want?" A frail man wearing a black bath robe asked, he had an amulet hanging around his neck.

"That amulet." Natsu said.

"Father what's going on?" A buff-looking teenager came out of nowhere.

"It's nothing Lyca." The man said.

"Are those people threatening you? I'll hurt them!" The boy named Lyca said. The man nodded. Lyca charged at Natsu and gripped his throat.

"No one threatens my dad!" Lyca said, " I'll kill you!" Natsu gripped the wrist of Lyca.

"You can't kill me! Not yet! BREATH OF THE FIRE DRAGON!" Natsu blew fire into Lyca's face. Natsu was dropped to the ground. Erza finished the fighter off and took the amulet.

"Off to Hargeon port to collect our money." Erza walked out, Natsu and Gray followed.

"That guy was way too protective of his dad." Natsu said. Erza and Gray agreed. When the reached Hargeon, they found a hotel and slept.

"Hi Lucy!" Levy greeted her on the way to the guild.

"How are you Levy?" Lucy smiled.

"Good, how are you?" She replies.

"Morning sickness and odd cravings, other than that, I'm fine." Lucy said. Lucy entered the guild to find Natsu waiting for her.

"Natsu! That was fast!" Lucy greeted him with a smile.

"We thought it would take longer too." Natsu said, he rubbed Lucy's belly, "I can't wait any longer!"

"Neither can I." Lucy said.

"Those two show too much affection toward each other." Gray complained.

"Just imagine them after the baby is born!" Evergreen laughed. Everyone joked around for the day. By around five o' clock Lucy screamed in pain.

"The baby is coming!" Lucy yelled.

"To Magnolia hospital!" Natsu said. He put Lucy on his back and ran out. Everyone followed. In no time they arrived and checked in.

Lucy screamed in pain. Natsu couldn't help but know it was his fault. She was in so much pain and he couldn't do anything.

"On 3 push, 1... 2... 3... Push!" The doctor said. Lucy pushed with all her strength.

Meanwhile, outside the hospital room..

"I wonder if it's going to be a boy or girl." Erza said.

"I bet it will be a boy." Gray said.

"Well we just have to wait." Evergreen said, "You know how long this takes."

"IT'S A BOY!" The doctor announced around twelve o' clock.

"Doctor, I'm still in pain!" Lucy said.

"Okay, get this guy cleaned up and we'll get started on #2." The doctor said.

"Twins!" Natsu said in surprise.

"If the pain hasn't subsided, there may be twins." The doctor explained. Lucy pushed again. She clutched Natsu's hand. For another 4 hours Lucy pushed. Finally, after hard work, she was done.

"A girl! I'm going to clean her up. You can tell the others." The doctor said. Natsu walked to the waiting room.

"Good news!" Natsu said.

"Boy or girl?" Evergreen asked.

"Like I said good news, both, Lucy and I have twins!" Natsu smiled.

"Can we see them!" Evergreen's child asked. Natsu nodded. Everyone followed Natsu to the room. Lucy was in the bed, her hair was sticking out in every direction and she had bags under her eyes. She was holding two bundles of blankets.

"Lucy, congrats." Gray said.

"Names?" Juvia asked.

"Natsu, I would like to name the girl after my mom, I know we decided on the names a while ago, but..."

"Layla Dragneel." Natsu said, "It has a nice ring to it."

"Thanks Natsu." Lucy smiled.

"What about Ignis for the boy." Natsu said.

"Layla and Ignis Dragneel. Perfect names." Lucy said. She gave Natsu baby. The blue bundle had golden locks like Lucy's but stuck up like Natsu's.

"We need to buy two of everything now." Natsu laughed.
