This has been on my mind for a while. I was going to do it after I finished my first story... But now is a great time!
Enjoy!
Little Nashi
"I don't feel good at all!" Lucy moaned, banging her head on the table. It had been like this for a few days now. She thought she caught a bug or something from their last job in a small gang related town near Clover. The place was crawling with dirt, bugs, creeps, and dead things. Diseases were most likely everywhere there!
"You need to see a doctor Lu-chan," Levy said. "You haven't been well in the past few days and it really worries me. And Natsu." She purred the last sentence. Lucy made an artificial blush. Why was it fake you ask? Well, you will see in a minute.
As if Levy had called him specifically, he walked to the bar and put his hand on Lucy's head. Frowning, he felt her temperature. It was really hot.
"Luce, your head is really warm. Even for me. Come on, lets see a doctor." He almost commanded. Levy was startled by his words. He never commanded Lucy to do anything. Usually it was the other way around. Nodding, Lucy got up and started walking to the door like a zombie. Natsu quickly followed in suit.
"Why is it she will listen to him but not me?" Levy asked the peeping barmaid. She shrugged and smirked.
"In the words of Happy, she liiiiiiikes him!"
Outside the guild, Lucy hopped onto Natsu's back. He started walking down the dirt path, out of the woods, and onto the busy streets. They didn't really talk besides the occasional moan from the sprit Mage. Once in her house, he sat her down on her kitchen counter and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Luce, please tell me what's wrong. You know I hate seeing you like this." He pleaded. He gave his girlfriend of two years the puppy dog eyes.
Nobody knew they were together. They decided to keep it a secret so they could have a normal guild life. He was very good at keeping their relationship secret. So was she.
"I think I am pregnant." She whispered. His eyes widened. He hadn't been expecting that.
"Do you still love me?" She cried. "I am really sor-" she was cut off by a Natsu smashing his lips into hers. They continued like that for a minute until he broke the kiss and started talking.
"Why would you ask such a stupid question? You weirdo. Of course I love you. If I didn't I would run out that door this very minute and act like I don't know you. But you know what I am still here!" She giggled. He wiped away one of her tears and whispered, "I am going to be a dad." The thought brought a smile to their faces. One problem still remained: How will they explain this to their guild mates? Natsu was sure Erza would chop off his 'grapes of wrath' in a heartbeat. He couldn't take that chance.
"What are we going to do now? We can't really tell them. But I can't hide it forever." She pondered for a moment. After a while, Lucy snapped her fingers. So did Natsu.
"We could run!" They said simultaneously.
"I could say I am going to visit my father and we will be back in ten months. Hopefully we can figure something out then."
"You still need to see a doctor Luce." Said Natsu. Lucy grumbled. "We can leave right after. We just need tell him not to mention a word about it to anybody." Lucy complied. Shortly after, a doctor was at her house. When the doorbell rang, Natsu hid under her bed.
"I am doctor Chu, are you Lucy?"
"Yes I am please come in." Moving out of the way, he walked in.
"Please lay on your bed and I can see if your fears have come true." Lucy scowled. How was this bad? Natsu was the father, it was amazing!
A few minutes ticked by. Finally, he got off his stool, turning to her. "You are pregnant. Congratulations. Who is the father?"
"I-I don't know. Can you keep this a secret from my guild? And my team especially at all costs. But you can tell the master. Just make sure he swears not to tell." Lucy demanded. He smiled.
"Of course. I will hand deliver the message my self. I promise not to tell another living soul." He said. Seconds later he was gone.
"You can come out now." He did as he was told. Lucy got up and called out Virgo.
"Punishment princess?" Virgo asked.
"NO NO NO NO! Umm, I need you to pack up my clothes and bring them into the sprit world please. Don't ask why and don't tell any sprits."
Virgo did as she was told in ten minutes. Natsu grabbed his money from a special hiding place in the apartment. He usually acted like he had no money but in truth, he was rich. He had enough to pay Lucy's rent for twelve years. He was loaded.
"Come on Luce! I got the money and the next train leaves in a few minutes." He said.
"One second! I am writing a note to our team in case they decide to be nosey. Ok done!" Lucy slammed a wax seal on the envelope. Grabbing his hand, they ran down the road to the train station.
Few days later- Guildhall. Erza POV
It has been two days since Natsu followed Lucy out of the guild. He had a look a pain in his eyes as he walked out. Almost as if it pained him to see her like that. It like they... No. They can't be together. Natsu can't keep secrets that well.
Behind me I heard the doors creek. I whipped around to see if Lucy was back. It was only the towns doctor... Wait, what is the doctor doing here?
"May I please speak to Master Makarov?" Dr. Chu asked. Mirajane smiled at pointed at the currently calm master. He walked up to him and smiled. "I am Dr. Chu. I have some really important matters to speak to you in private about."
Let's go into my office then. You brats better not spy on us!" Makarov yelled to the guild. With that he disappeared into his office.
A few minutes later, they exited his office. The whole bar area was silent as he walked by. Once the master hopped on the table I noticed his face was pale like he saw a ghost.
"Master! What happened?" I asked. He just looked at me then chugged his beer. What happened? And where were Natsu and Lucy?
"Don't go and look for Natsu and Lucy. If you do you will be punished."
"But why? They are our nakama!"
"Yeah, what if flame brain gets in trouble? We need to find them!"
"YEAH!" The guild screamed.
"You will do no such thing. They are fine as it is. They are in no danger. I can not tell you the situation they are in. Because that is none of your business!"
We were all silent.
The next week, what was left of team Natsu went to Lucy's house. Gajeel went to smell if anything was suspicious. We walked through the door with the key I took a few months ago. Inside, it was dark and cold. It didn't look like they were kidnapped or dead. Suddenly Gajeel's nostrils flared.
"What is it?" Gray asked.
"It's Bunny Girl's sent, but it smells kinda off. So does Salamanders."
"What does that mean?" I asked harshly. This wasn't the time for half assed answers.
He hesitated. "I-I don't know. Sorry."
I sighed at looked at her desk. There was a letter addressed to us. I opened it and read aloud.
Dear Fairy Tail,
Don't worry me and Natsu are ok. I just got an urgent letter from my fathers estate and I needed to go right away. Natsu is with me because I am sick and I couldn't go alone. I am so sorry I couldn't tell you sooner. I should be back in ten months or later.
Love,
Lucy
Six years later... With Natsu and Lucy- Hargeon
Lucy walked into the little inn room they had rented only to find a sleeping Natsu with a pink haired little girl laying on his chest and a gray exceed on his head. She smiled. Tip-toeing over to the bed, Lucy shook them awake.
"Wake up... I am back..." Not a peep. "I have food..." With that they jumped off the bed in a standing position.
"Captain Natsu reporting for duty sir!" "Corporal Nashi reporting for duty sir!" (A/N: only name I could think of... Sorry) Lucy laughed at the playfulness of her two pinkets. In six years they had been through a lot. When Nashi was born, they were in the woods. The woods! Shortly after, they found Igneel. It was looking for Natsu at the time to tell him about Lucy being pregnant.
Lucy shook her head and handed them a piece of meat on a stick. She didn't know what it was but it smelt good. As they acted like hungry dogs, Lucy flipped through the pages of the Sorcerer Weekly. She stopped on the page that mentioned leaked information about Natsu and Lucy's disappearance. She sighed. Other were going to have to change appearances now.
"Natsu, we need to go back to the guild." He spit out some of the food in his mouth. Nashi laughed. "And tell them about Nashi." Nashi had the same reaction. Natsu laughed.
"How will we get there without people noticing?" He asked. Lucy smiled.
"Open gate of the crab! Cancer!" Lucy chanted.
"Yes, ebi?" He said. "Make us look unrecognizable. But not Nashi. She needs to look the same." Lucy said. He nodded and went to work. At the end, Lucy's long locks were a dark brown. Her eyes, a bright blue. Natsu had black hair with his usual onyx eyes. Cancer handed them a comb that would get rid of the dye when used. Lucy thanked him and he left. Natsu, Lucy and Nashi, with her Exceed Pancake, boarded a train for a place they hasn't been in a while. Mangolia.
Fairy Tail- No POV
Six years since Lucy got sick and Natsu ran off with her. Six years since Dr. Chu entered the guild and left the master with some idea of their wear-abouts. Every year the guild mourned and had a silent day. Sometimes fights would come on about what happened to them. Like today. Gray and Elfman were fighting. Tables were flying, so were chairs.
Nobody noticed a small cloaked figure enter the guild with a grey flying by her side. Well, not until a chair flew at her face. Everyone turned to see who it was going to hit. They never expected this reaction. The figure caught it by the leg and burnt it to ashes. The fighting stopped almost immediately. The only one who, they knew of, that could do that was Natsu.
The cloaked person pulled down to revel a small girl with long pink hair. She had it pulled in two small pigtails on the sides of her head. Her chocolate colored eyes sparkled with interest. She wore a white sundress that had fiery red accents that went with her red dragon scale necklace. It glowed as she smiled. Her gold sandals clicked when she walked toward the master. The Exceed pulled an envelope from its little book bag. Makarov opened it up and started to read. His eyes started to water. He quickly blinked them back. Turning to her he asked, "What is your name?"
"My name is Nashi. This is my Exceed Pancakes. Say hi." Nashi patted her head encouragingly.
"Hi. I am Pancakes. It's a pleasure to meat you." Pancakes blushed. Some of the guild 'awww'ed and the other part looked at her like she looked familiar.
"Say hello to our new guild member Nashi! Where would you like your guild stamp?" Mira asked.
"On my right shoulder in pink!" Nashi squealed. Erza flinched. Just like Natsu and Lucy.
"Let's go upstairs to the masters office to get the stamp, ne?" Mira replied. They both bounded up the stairs and opened the masters office.
While they were in the office, Gajeel grabbed Wendy's shoulder. "Do you smell her? She smells like Natsu and Lucy!" Gajeel yell-whispered. Wendy nodded. "Her necklace smells like Natsu-san's scarf. Almost as if..." Wendy never got to finish. The doors busting open got all her attention.
"WE ARE BACK!" A pink haired man and a beautiful blonde yelled.
3...2...1...
"NATSU!? LUCY!?" The guild yelled. Natsu scratched the back of his head nervously.
"NATSU! Where have you been? I missed you so much!" Happy cried into Natsu's hold. He stroked Happy between his ears. Behind him he heard all the guys talking to Lucy. Not in a right way either.
"Lucy! Will you date me?"
"Good god girl, you have gotten prettier with age!"
"Nice chest."
"Where have you been all my life?"
Natsu had no idea where the 'Nice chest' comment came from, but he wasn't going to let that happen again.
"Hey watch it! Look but don't touch! Wait, don't even look at her." He said rather possessively. The guild eyed him suspiciously.
"She isn't yours flame brain." Gray said. The voice made his skin crawl. Natsu calmly handed Happy to Lucy and proceeded to send Gray flying across the guild.
"She IS mine you idiot stripper!" He yelled back. A ring of fire surrounded Natsu's feet and hand.
Upstairs, Nashi and Mira left his office. They now stood on the balcony looking down. Mira jumped up and waved in Natsu and Lucy's direction. As soon as Lucy made eye contact with Nashi, Natsu did too. Nashi and Lucy's dragon scale necklaces glowed red along with his scarf. He squatted down, arms out.
"Daddy!" Nashi and Pancakes slid down the rail, and into his arms. He spun her around. Lucy hugged them both.
"DADDY?!" The guild yelled. Again. He rolled his eyes. Are they really that stupid?
"Really? Couldn't you tell? She has Natsu's hair color and my eyes. Even the same magic as Natsu!" Lucy said.
"Will you please explain why you left to them. That have asked me every day about you." Makarov asked Lucy said yes. They all sat at the bar for what seemed like forever telling the story. By the end, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Some laughed and some cried.
After that, they had a HUGE party. Nobody could imagine how big it was. But they would do anything for their lost nakama. And they were finally home
