"Lucy Dragneel!" Juvia called out.
Lucy turned her chair from facing Mira to face an angry Juvia.
"Y-yes Juvia?"
The water mage went up to the celestial maid. Face to face, she stared her down her eyes were fierce, determined to say whatever was on her mind. She instantly started to cry.
Causing Lucy to really panic, "what happened?" She asked.
"I need to lose weight, how did you lose the baby weight?" Juvia cried out.
"Well Capricorn is making me go on a diet, but I hardly lost anything. Only ten out of the forty."
"That's better than me. I lost only six pounds."
"Juvia, you hardly gained weight, technically I'm fatter than you." Lucy wanted to punch her friend. She gained forty pounds during the pregnancy. Juvia gained twenty. Can she not do math?
"You know, master made a gym...the guys use it." Mira informed.
Heat was coming out from Lucy's body. Natsu didn't inform her about any gym. He knew how much she wanted to lose the baby weight. That ass, she was going to mess him up.
"Juvia, starting tomorrow you and I are going to hit the gym until Mira and Laxus get married." Lucy declared.
"And even after when Erza and Jellal get married." Juvia added.
The former "rivals" were now gym partners!
Lucy went home after shopping with Juvia. Lucy and Juvia went to buy appropriate gym gear. They even asked Erza and Mira if they wanted to join for their weddings. She and Mira decided it was a good idea since it was crunch time.
Lucy entered the always messy house to a clean one with Loke and Virgo Taking care of a surprisingly sleeping Fina.
"Hey guys did you clean for me? That's Natsu's job," she said as she placed the shopping bags on the floor by the door.
"That good for nothing husband of yours went out with Happy to get something and since Virgo was here he asked her to babysit. Then I showed up to take care of my poor Fina."
Lucy eyed her lion spirit. He was Fina's number one fan. At least he's not obsessed with her anymore, or is trying to marry her. She was glad that they were best friends once more.
Loke cradled a fussing Fina in his arms. She instantly went back to sleep in his arms. If Natsu were to see this he would flip.
Speaking of her husband he entered the house with much excitement.
"Lucy, I got the pictures." Natsu waved the portfolio in the air.
Lucy took it from him before he threw it somewhere. She opened it to see all the pictures she ordered. Fina was so beautiful in her red tutu like outfit. Her smiling face shined brightly, even more so than her father in which she inherited that smile from. Lucy admitted she didn't look like she gave birth at all. Maybe Capricorn nasty all green diet was working for her after all. Natsu and Happy were handsome in their matching suits. She absolutely loved it. Lucy kept looking through the pictures. She found the wallet size versions of Fina alone.
Lucy placed the folder on their dining table in the back of the living room and went to a small room. It was her office to write her novels. She came out with Scissors. She carefully cut the pictures for her celestial spirits. She handed one to Virgo and the rest to Loke to distribute them.
Loke placed his in his wallet until he got home to put it in a frame. Lucy gave him a bigger version of the picture for the celestial king.
"Thanks Lucy." Loke said as he handed her child to her. "I'll give these out now...you staying Virgo?" He added.
Virgo nodded. "I do not leave until both princesses are sleeping." She answered.
"I'm fine Virgo, you can go." Lucy said cradling her child.
"As you wish, princess." Virgo bowed. She and Loke left right after.
Lucy placed Fina in a small rocking bed for babies. She turned to face her husband who came out the kitchen with a beef, ham, turkey, other various meats sandwich. Happy was holding a grilled fish that Capricorn cooked for him.
"Natsu, why didn't you tell me that there's a gym?" She scolded.
Natsu began to speak, but bits and pieces of his sandwich were flying everywhere, including his wife's face.
"Natsu chew your food!" She yelled. She clasped her hands over her mouth and peeked over to a still sleeping Fina.
She repeated what she said in a quieter tone, but equally harsh.
Natsu ate his sandwich in one bite. He burped loudly indicating that he was satisfied.
"I thought you knew. Master announced it like a few months ago." Natsu said rubbing his belly.
"How many months ago?"
Natsu pondered about it for a minute. "Like around November."
Lucy's anger was getting the best of her. "I was home, Pregnant with your daughter in November. I couldn't move much remember." She tried her best not to wake her daughter up.
"Oh yeah," he recalled.
Natsu ended up out the house with a huge lump on his head.
Lucy took her daughter and went up the stairs to their room. She placed her daughter on the queen size bed and lay down next to her. Fina turned facing away from her mother. Lucy smiled lovingly and kissed the top of her head. The Dragneel females slept soundly.
"Ten more minutes to go, Lady Lucy." Capricorn stated. Who invited the goat to the gym?
Lucy was jogging tirelessly. Next to her was Juvia, who seemed to be in worse shape. Erza loved the challenge and broke the treadmill. Master lectured the scarlet haired beauty, while Mira stood by Laxus while he was lifting weights. It looked like she was coaching him. His face looked upset like he was this close to yell at her, but that was his usual face.
Lucy smirked at the comedic couple.
"Five more minutes," the goat/butler said while wearing a track suit supporting his master. Virgo was next to him in a maid cheerleading suit cheering her master in her monotone voice.
"Alright already, quit it." After the five minutes were over Lucy fell on the ground. Juvia was so unconscious that you could see swirls in her eyes.
Gray and Natsu were on the other side of the gym secretly concerned for their wives, but it was so funny to see them work out.
Lucy knew that they staring and glared at them. The males turned around avoiding her glare. She was bad as Erza.
Virgo helped Lucy and Juvia get up from the floor. She guided them to the next machine. It was to lift weights. Lucy wanted to go home already, but she couldn't she had to get her pre baby body back and in time for both weddings. She can't go to Mira's wedding looking bad. Her husband is coming out of her wedding. She had to look good.
Lucy stayed at the gym for one more hour before Capricorn called it quits. It had been three hours since she got there and she was exhausted. Juvia was asleep in Gray's arms.
"Where's Calder?" Lucy asked. The group was walking back home. They took a short cut by the river.
"Juvia left him to play with Levy, where's Fina?"
"Loke declared himself as her personal babysitting, so she's with him and happy." Natsu answered.
"Having all of these spirits out, doesn't that take a toll on you, Luce?" Gray asked.
"No, they come out on their own accord to help me out."
"That's convenient; I wish I could do the same. Then we don't have to run around looking for a babysitter."
"You can always drop Calder off at my house and Virgo could take care of him. She's surprisingly good with kids." Lucy offered.
Gray nodded. "I might take you up on that offer. Thanks Luce."
"Lucy, why are you allowing this stripper's child in my house." he whined.
"Shut it, hot breath!"
"What did you just call me?"
While holding Juvia, gray was still able to land a punch on Natsu, who accidently pushed Lucy into the river. Lucy swam up to the surface. She glared at her husband and his "best friend/rival." Natsu, though he was scared to what she would do, helped his wife.
A soaked Lucy took Juvia from grays arms. He was too scared to stop her. She placed the water mage against a nearby wall. And called upon Aquarius. The water spirit decided to be kind to Lucy and obey her. She washed away her master's husband and his friend far from their current location.
"Thanks Aquarius, did Loke sent you the picture?" Lucy asked as she placed Juvia's arm around her shoulders.
The mermaid beauty nodded. "She's way prettier than you, hopefully shell get a man faster than her mother did." she joked before disappearing.
Lucy laughed. Oh how she missed her. Lucy supported a tired Juvia home. After she dropped her off, she hurried home to wash off the river stench.
Lucy allowed Loke to stay a while more after she finished showering. She came out from her room wearing her famous pink flannel pajamas. She took a playful Fina from Loke's arms.
"Thanks again, I really do owe you. You don't have to do this." Lucy said.
Loke clasped his hands on her shoulders. "You are my master, and my best friend. You saved me at a very difficult time in my life. This is nothing, and besides…Serafina is going to be my new master after you retire, so I'm just looking out for her."
Lucy laughed. She really did miss Loke.
"You're right, maybe when she's older ill retire and give her my keys, but what if she wants to be a fire mage?"
Loke shook his head. "Natsu and I made a deal, no fire."
Lucy nodded. Loke kissed her and Fina's forehead goodbye and went back to the spirit world.
Natsu barged inside. "I get beat up by Erza enough; I don't need my wife to do it too."
Lucy glared at him. "You deserved it. You always fight with Gray. You guys are best friends. You've known each other for fifteen years give or take a few years. There should be no fighting."
Natsu took his daughter from her arms. "This is what we men do." he kissed his child's cheeks.
"Ugh, now you should like Elfman." Lucy said wiping Natsu's slobber from her daughters face.
Natsu looked at his girls. He couldn't stay mad at Lucy for long. And he didn't want Fina to see them fight over a petty manner. He grabbed his wife's face and kissed her. Fina yelled due to being squished between both parents. Natsu and Lucy laughed at their child.
"I'll try to behave more." Natsu said rubbing his nose against his daughter's. Fina laughed enjoying the attention.
Lucy kissed his cheek. "Of course you will," she said sarcastically.
