6 months later

Lucy walked into the guild hall desperate to find a place to sit. Spotting an open chair Lucy rushed over and sighed as she plopped down.

"You look tired today." Mira said as she took the chair across from Lucy.

Lucy laughed. "I am. This baby never seems to want to sleep. He's up all night kicking me, he definitely has his father's spirit!" She said rubbing her swollen belly.

"Have you ever considered that maybe you are having twins? I'm only saying because you have gotten rather big." Mira said as she grinned.

Lucy widened her eyes in horror before she put her head on the table. "I have. The doctor I've been going to suspects as much. I've just been in denial. Could you imagine two tiny Natsu's running around?! I love the man but you have to admit he is a handful!"

Mira laughed. "Don't worry hun the entire guild is here to help you guys out!" She said, patting Lucy on the head.

"Thank's Mira!" Lucy said, lifting her head she looked around for Natsu and the others. "Hey where is Natsu, Gray, and Erza?" She asked. Lucy felt her stomach clench as Mira's face clouded with concern. "Mira what's wrong?"

Mira stood up and patted Lucy on the shoulder. "They were called out for an emergency job outside of town. Nothing to get worked up over. Why don't I get you something to eat?" Mira said as she quickly rushed back to the kitchen.

Worried Lucy watched as her guild mates rushed around the room muttering quietly to each other. She would catch bits and pieces of the conversations before they would notice her and move further away. She would hear things like "I've never seen demon's like this before!...Are you sure they are after her?...What about Natsu?...Should we tell her?" What weren't they telling her?

Angry now Lucy marched up to Mira. "If you don't tell me what's going on I'm going to leave to find Natsu myself!"

All the fake happiness fled from Mira's face. "No Lucy you can't leave! Natsu made us promise to keep you here. He didn't want us to tell you anything because he didn't want you to worry!"

Lucy scowled at Mira. "Tell me what? Mira what the hell is going on? If it has anything to do with me or Natsu I deserve to know!"

Mira grabbed Lucy's hands and lead her back to the chairs. After they both sat down Mira clasped Lucy's' hands. "After word got out that the Salamander's wife had conceived demons and black wizards all over Fiore have wanted to get their hands on your baby. For the past few months we have been sending teams out to defeat these threats, but this attack is different it's more dangerous."

Lucy gasped. "I haven't heard anything about this! Why are they after my baby? What do you mean more dangerous?"

"You are the first person to conceive the heir of a dragon slayer. Coupled with Natsu's powers and that of one of the most powerful Celestial wizards around your baby is going to have unbelievable magic power." Mira said quietly.

"Oh god!" Lucy said trembling. "How bad is it? Who is after my baby?"

Before Mira could answer Levy burst through the door. "We need to get Lucy out of here now! The demons have entered the city they will be here soon!"

Mira shot up and pulled Lucy to her feet. "Wait where is Natsu? I want to see him!" Lucy called as Mira and Levy began to push her towards the back door.

"Don't worry he isn't far behind. He told me to tell you that he will catch up with us." Levy said with mild impatience.

Lucy began to panic as she allowed her friends to lead her out of the guild and into a carriage. Something about this entire thing was off, she had a bad feeling something horrible was about to happen. Lucy watched in horror as the carriage began to pull away from town. Black demons were destroying the town. Buildings were collapsing as fire enveloped the town. Citizens were in a panic rushing around trying to escape the demons. Lucy covered her mouth as nausea washed over her. The city was in ruins and it was all her fault. Trying to calm herself Lucy closed her eyes and tried to think positive thoughts. Her efforts were short lived when she heard a beastly shriek and then felt the explosion and then her world turn to black.

Lucy slowly came around to the sound of Natsu's desperate voice. "Lucy? Please, Lucy wake up! You need to wake up!" Groaning Lucy slowly opened her eyes. "Thank god you're alright!" Natsu breathed as he pulled her into a tight hug.

"Jeez my head is killing me." Lucy wheezed as she clutched Natsu close. "I'm so glad you're here. I was so worried!"

Natsu pulled back to look at his wife. "Don't worry I will be fine! You just need to worry about our child." He said as he put his hand on her belly only to grin when he felt the child move. Grabbing her hands Natsu hauled Lucy to her feet. "Come on, let's get you out of here."

"Come on this way!" Mira called to them. "Levy found another path we can take but we have to hurry!"

"Natsu, where are Gray and the others?" Lucy asked as they stumbled their way through the debris of the fallen city.

"They are probably back at the guild covering our retreat. Once I found out the city had been beached I left them to come find you. I haven't seen them since. But it's Gray and Erza I'm sure they are just fine"

Lucy was about to respond when an explosion knocked her and the others off their feet. Natsu grabbed Lucy before she fell to try and comfort her fall. "Stay down!" He yelled before he shot to his feet. Lucy looked around and noticed that Mira and Levy were unconscious.

"I have finally found you!" A sinister voice said.

"You have found nothing! I will never let you touch her!" Natsu yelled as he ignited his fists.

Lucy watched in horror as Natsu began to battle the most powerful demon she had ever seen. The demon gave off a deadly aura that made her blood run cold. Every attack Natsu threw at the creature seemed to have no effect on it. The demon shot a blast of energy at Natsu shooting him out of the air slamming him into the ground, hard. "Natsu!" Lucy screamed.

"Get out of here, Lucy! I will be fine just get out of here!" Natsu yelled. Just then Erza came running around a fallen building. Turning to her Natsu yelled. "Get Lucy out of her. Protect her, I'll handle big and ugly here!"

"Very well." Erza said as she grabbed Lucy's arm and began to haul her away from the battle. Before they got far they were soon surrounded by smaller demons. "Stay here Lucy, I will handle these nuisance." Erza said before she requipped and jumped into battle. Panicking Lucy looked around at the chaos ensuing. She wanted to help but ever since she had gotten pregnant her magic was unpredictable. When she wanted to summon her spirits have the time she ended up setting something on fire.

"Fire Dragon Roar!" Natsu screamed as he engulfed the demon in fire. The beast laughed as he deflected the attack and sent a blast of magic power back at him. The blast hit Natsu right in the chest and sent him flying.

"Ice Make Lance!" Gray shouted as he attack the demon. "Looks like I came at a good time. Need a hand, Natsu?" The demon roared as he tried to shake the ice off his limbs.

"Thanks man!" Natsu said with a grin. Gray helped Natsu to his feet then they both turned to attack the creature.

Lucy watched in amazement as Natsu and Gray worked together to take down the demon. In one final attack the friends finally were able to bring him down. Growling the dark creature gave his last final warning. "Don't get to cocky, as long as that woman and child are alive more of my kind will always be coming."

"And we will be ready." Gray said as he clapped Natsu on the back. Both men breathing hard.

"Natsu!" Lucy called as she got up to run to him. Before she reached him Natsu's eyes widened and he rushed to her. Grabbing her he threw her to the side. Lucy looked up in shock only to three giant swords protruding from his chest. The swords disappeared leaving three gaping holes gushing blood. Gray rushed up and disposed of the attackers. "No, no, no!" Lucy screamed as she rushed to his side. Kneeling down she grabbed his face. "Look at me Natsu, come on stay with me!" Lucy cried! Natsu reached up and cupped her face in his hand. "You're safe for now. That's all that matters."

Lucy shook her head in despair. "No its not! You can't leave me! You can't leave us!" She said as she took his other hand and placed it on her belly. Natsu smiled when he felt the baby move. "You truly are my entire world! Remember I told you on our wedding day that I would love you until forever. So don't be sad Lucy, because I will never leave you."

Sobbing Lucy bent down and kissed his lips. "What am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to live without you? You always so I am your world well you are mine!"

Natsu grabbed his scarf and slowly wrapped it around Lucy's neck. "You have our child he is a part of me just as he is a part of you. Let that be enough until we meet again. Please stay with me until the end." Natsu said before he began to cough up blood.

Lucy layed down next to Natsu keeping one of his hands on her stomach. "Until the end." She said. Lucy felt as if a little piece of her died with each labored breath he took. Lucy felt her heart clench when Natsu stiffen. With his last breath Natsu looked in to her eyes and said "My entire world." Then he closed his eyes and was still.

"Natsu? Natsu please come back! Please, please don't leave me!" Lucy sobbed as she clutched his body to hers.

"I finished off the last demon…What happened?" Erza asked as she took in the scene in front of her.

"He's gone." Gray whispered. "Natsu's gone."

Erza stood there in disbelief before she shook her head and walked over to Lucy and put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm so sorry Lucy. But we need to get back to the guild. It's the safest place for you right now."

Lucy shrugged Erza's hand off her shoulder. "I don't care about that! I can't leave him here!"

"We won't Lucy we will bring him home." Gray said kneeling down in front of Lucy. "Come on let's take him home."Lucy nodded and allowed Erza to help her up. Gray grabbed Natsu's arm and carefully lifted up his body and swung it onto his back.
