Lucy smiled as she felt a tiny kick. Setting down her tattered book, her hand slipped down to her swollen abdomen, gently caressing her baby bump.
"Mommy loves you." She cooed gently as she felt the baby move around.
Mirajane gave a soft chuckle as she bound over to Lucy's table, a pitcher of strawberry banana smoothie filled to the brim in her hand, smiling down at the mother to be and cleared her throat.
Lucy looked up and smiled. "Hello Mira." She greeted.
Mirajane flashed her sweet smile. "Hello, Lucy! Would you like a refill?" She asked motioning to the empty glass on the table.
"Oh yes, thank you!" Lucy said patting her stomach. "This little dragon is up and demanding more."
"Anything for you and the little one." Mirajane chirped as she poured Lucy her smoothie. Ever since Lucy got pregnant, the small blonde practically obsessed over strawberry banana smoothies. Her mate made sure Mirajane always had a full pitcher ready for Lucy, not that he needed too. Mirajane found Laxus' dotting ways so sweet.
Lucy happily sucked up about half of her smoothie in one go, rubbing at her belly in content. Mirajane shook her head at her friends love of smoothies before leaving, but not before refilling the glass again.
Happy at having her temporary fill, Lucy turned back to her bulging stomach. "Now let mommy read while we wait for papa, okay little dragon?" She asked as she picked up her book. She had just started to read where she left off when she felt her child shift within her again, throwing another kick. Wincing at the strength behind the kick, Lucy closed her book. "Looks like I won't be finishing my book today." She summed as she tucked the book away in her purse before hugging her stomach, humming a tune as she rubbed her belly to sooth the baby.
"She's acting up again?" Her face immediately brighter at the sound of her husband and mates voice, head falling back over the seat to stare at him upside down.
"You're back!"
He made his way to her, stormy blue gray eyes never leaving her own light brown. Lucy raised her head back up before turning it to look at him as he came to stand beside her.
Laxus bent down, finger hooking under her chin to tilt her head back, giving her a gentle loving kiss. Lucy responded back happily, smiling into the kiss as his hand intertwined with the one she had on her belly.
He broke the kiss after a few seconds to kneel down, pulling Lucy's body to the edge of the seat and turning her to face him, a soft rumbling leaving his chest as he rubbed at where their baby was kicking.
He didn't care who saw him as he nuzzled her belly. She was his wife, his mate, and she was doing him the honor of baring him a child. Within her small body, protected by her womb and dragon scales, was their little dragon, proof of their undying love for one another, half of each of them. How could he not shower her with affection? How could he not show this incredible woman how much he adored her and how happy he was to become a father?
"I love how she calms down whenever you're near. I haven't been able to sleep a wink." Lucy sighed, bending forward to hug Laxus' head to her chest, loving the way his arms came around her to pull her closer. "She always knows when you're gone."
"I know, baby." He said placing a soft kiss to the curve of her large breast, larger now that they were filled with milk. "And I'm sorry I've been gone so much, but that was the last one. I won't be taking anymore mission for the next few months." He promised.
After finding out about her pregnancy, Laxus made sure to take up as many S class mission as possible. Not only was it to make more money for the baby, not that he needed it with how much he had in the bank, but because he didn't want to chance being called away during the first few months of their daughters life. Having read some of Lucy's pregnancy books, he knew the first few months were crucial for boding, and his dragon would need to bond with the baby too, and he didn't want to miss out on a thing. This way the S class board would have plenty of room for more mission without him needing to leave to take care of overflowing missions. (A/N at end)
"Just a few more days." Lucy said, nose buried in his hair, breathing in the muscular scent of her mate. "And she will finally be here." She finished, her voice lowering as she felt the effect of not sleeping the last few days, body begging for a proper nights rest now that he was home.
Laxus stood up, sweeping her off the bench and into his arms, before turning to leave the guild. "Let's get you home so that you can sleep." He said.
Lucy nodded, nuzzling into his neck. "I can't wait to meet her Laxus. I want to hold her already."
Blue gray eyes softened looking down at her. "Me too, Baby." He said. "Me too."
A/N: What I meant by that was that when the board gets too full, all S class Wizards need to help clear it up for newer mission to be posted. Don't know where that idea came from but whatever.
This may become a two or three shot. Who wants more?
