Month Two
Symptoms: weight gain, feeling gross/sick, heavy breasts.
"Ugh." Lucy groaned, turning her head away from that annoying sunlight. She had no intentions of getting out of bed today, but her bladder had a different plan.
She slowly dragged herself out of the happy and warm cover of her blankets into the cruel, cruel world. She only vaguely noticed that she was alone this morning.
After finishing her business and starting her usual morning routine, Lucy hopped on the weight scale, not really thinking anything of it. She looked at the number, pursing her lips. Five pounds in the last two weeks.
Lucy sighed heavily.
She patted her stomach, there really wasn't much of a change yet to the feel of her abdomen, but she still felt something. A life-force, a tiny bead of energy, a small burst of magic. There was something. She knew it.
She might as well get used to the fact that she would be gaining a lot of weight soon.
Lucy drudged over to her little quant kitchen and set to work on making herself some breakfast, hoping it wouldn't make her puke her guts out, as she had been doing quite frequently. While she spread butter on her toast, she wondered where her husband was and what in the world he was up to. Making a mess, no doubt. She giggled, thinking of the shenanigans he was most likely up to. She really did love that man.
She ate her toast in content at the kitchen table, finishing it off with a big juicy dill pickle and a couple of grapes. She made sure to drink a glass of water along with her glass of orange juice. All the vitamins she had to take didn't go down easy without lots of fluids.
Normally, she'd make herself presentable and head to the guild hall, but to be truthful, her body felt like absolute shit and she didn't want to go anywhere.
"Welp! Nothing wrong with a day in... everyone needs a date with Netflix once in a while..." Lucy reassured herself, patting her flat stomach. "How about I show you one of my favorite shows, kid? It's a medical show called House..."
And that's how the rest of her afternoon went. Munching on whatever she felt the need to, binge watching Netflix, and occasionally chatting with her unborn child.
She smiled softly as she rubbed circles over her abdomen. The baby probably couldn't hear her just yet, but she liked to think that he or she could.
Lucy's stomach rolled unpleasantly and she squeezed her eyes shut. Maybe eating half of that microwave-heated barbecue chicken pizza wasn't such a good idea. She bolted from the couch, knowing she wouldn't reach the toilet, she headed to the kitchen sink instead. And there the sink got very acquainted with her lunch.
Groaning, she turned on the faucet to rinse out her mouth. She jumped slightly when she felt pressure on her back, and something pulling her hair out of her face.
She relaxed upon feeling warmth and seeing pink out of the corner of her eye.
Natsu rubbed calming strokes on her back as she finished gurgling water to get the sour taste out of her mouth. Standing straight, she turned off the faucet and wiped her mouth with a dish towel.
He rested his chin on her shoulder and wrapped his arms around her until his hands settled on her stomach. "The little rascal making you sick again?"
Lucy snorted. "I don't think it's really his fault. Intentionally anyways."
"Or hers." Natsu suggested with a smirk.
She smiled, tilting her head back to look at him. "Where've you been?"
He hummed, placing kisses on her exposed neck. "Went on a quick job in town. We need to make sure we have enough money..."
Lucy sighed. "I haven't really thought much about that."
She frowned, another thought popping into her head. "Where are we going to put the baby's things? I don't want to get rid of my study, but I don't want to take over Happy's room either..."
Natsu shrugged, continuing to trace patterns on her skin. "I can always add more rooms too. Guess I shoulda added more the first time I remodeled."
Her train of thought was getting harder to follow as his fingers dragged up her shirt. The pleasurable nibbling on her earlobe wasn't helping either.
"We should probably start buying things in advance, I've heard that's the best thing to do..." She bit her lip as his tongue slithered up her neck.
"Stop thinking for a bit would you?" He growled huskily, his hands finally grasping her breasts.
Lucy yelped in pain, flinching away from his hands. He immediately backed away, concern etched on his face.
"Luce? Did I hurt you?"
She cradled her mounds of flesh. "Ah... that just kinda hurt, I guess my breasts are really tender today."
He frowned apologetically. "I... sorry I didn't know..."
Lucy shook her head, reaching her hands out to grab his arms in reassurance, she didn't like him to not be sure of himself. "It's okay babe I didn't realize until you did that anyways."
Natsu pulled her into a hug, kissing the top of her head before pulling away with a cheesy grin. "Well! We can watch a movie or something then!"
She pouted, pulling on the hem of his pants. "Tch. Just because my boobs hurt doesn't mean you can't touch the rest of me..."
And just like that, his eyes turned dark and his salacious grin promised delicious pleasure. He quickly threw her over his shoulder and headed to the bedroom.
"As you wish..."
Hey there pals! Don't worry I have not abandoned this story. I'm just hella busy and usually don't have the patience for writing anymore. I've been taking a bit of a break, but I don't think I will completely stop writing.
Anywhooo. I'm going to bump up this story's rating to M. Not for this chapter obviously, but the next is a little...
Yeah.
Hope you're liking this story! Thanks for sticking with me and being patient!
