Title: Good with Kids
A/N: It's the last prompt! Enjoy reading!
She always thought he was good with kids.
Romeo-kun adores him. After their first impromptu rescue mission for Macao with the Vulcan in Mt. Hakobe, the boy would often come to the guild with his father. Romeo-kun would usually look for his Natsu-nii and invite him to play. They would run around the guild hall and start pranking people together. Romeo-kun also loves his fire magic and would often ask him to do some sort of fire show if Natsu is up for it.
So she wasn't surprised at all when she first saw the boy after their seven years of absence, all grown-up, dressed in a similar fashion as Natsu. He wears an open vest shirt and a scarf, just like the dragon slayer. There was also no surprise either when Romeo-kun showed his fire magic to them. She figured that he would learn it since Natsu is a fire mage.
The next kid to be smitten was Asuka-chan. One time they were babysitting her, he took on her challenge, lost on purpose and did the penalty seriously. He obeyed all the weird orders the little girl gave him. He even attempted to kiss her when Asuka ordered him to. All because he "lost" to the little girl. She thought that it was sweet of him when he defeated the Orca Feather Flying Bandits with his pin-point accuracy but gave the credit to the little girl. He clearly knows what's best for children.
So it was no surprise too when she learned that Asuka-chan developed a crush on him. Bisca thought it was cute, but Alzack wasn't very happy with it. It horrified him to know that his little girl was crushing on Fairy Tail's number one trouble maker.
Maybe it's because he's a kid at heart himself that makes him popular with them. He has this unique charisma that appeals to young children. He was a dazzling hero, a knight in shining armor ready to fight the bad guys.
And she had to admit, it was one of his great points that attracted her to him.
"Lucy, why do I hear another heartbeat in you?" He asked her one day. "I'm sure it's not yours since I can still hear it perfectly."
Instead of answering him directly, she decided to play with him. She slowly rubbed her belly on purpose, giving him a clue to her answer. She giggled as she watched his eyes grow and his mouth drop when he understood her. "You're pregnant?" he asked excitedly.
"Yes!" she answered back, amused at her husband's reaction.
"I'm gonna be a father?" he asked again dumbly.
She nodded excitedly at him. "Yes Natsu, you're gonna be a father!"
Within seconds, he was squeezing her body in a bone-crushing hug. "Oh Lucy!" He lifted her and twirled her around. When he realized that she shouldn't be doing that to his pregnant wife, he stopped moving and relaxed his hands around her. "Ooops, sorry about that, I got excited."
She buried her face in his collar and giggled. "It's okay. I'm excited about this too."
"You're gonna be a great mother, Lucy." He whispered as he rubbed his nose with her.
"And you're gonna be a great father, Natsu." She whispered back.
Yes, he'll be a great father. It's been proven with Romeo and Asuka before. She's pretty sure their future kids will adore him too.
A/N: And that's it for this year's NaLu week, but I'll be posting one more for the next bonus prompt. Thank you very much for reading!
