Chapter 11: Family

General P.O.V.

It's been three months since Lucy, Gajeel and Laxus had mated, and things have already changed drastically. Since the mating, said dragon slayers found a way to tolerate each other, and even became friends, if you could call them that. However, lately both of them were grumpy. The cause of it was their mate, as she was on a weeklong mission with team Shadow Gear. Something about finding a book in the biggest library in Fiore. Of course that mission was pure heaven for the small blonde woman.
Suddenly the guild doors slam open, to reveal the two guild bookworms, accompanied by Jet and Droy. Immediately Lucy's eyes skim over the crowd, looking for her Dragon Slayers, and when she finally finds them a bright smile breaks across her face. Both men take a deep breath at the sight before them. There's something different. As she walks towards them, Natsu suddenly steps in front of her.
"Hey, Lucy?"
Lucy looks at her salmon haired guild mate with a gentle smile. "Yes, Natsu?"
"You smell weird. I mean you still smell like Laxus and Gajeel, but it's different."
Lucy's cheeks turn into a deep shade of red while she gives Natsu a swift 'Lucy Kick' for sniffing her.
However, Natsu's statement does cause Gajeel and Laxus to look at each other with a slightly confusing frown.

"Hey, my boys." Lucy gives them another bright smile before giving both men a soft kiss. Gajeel, being a first generation Dragon Slayer, notices the change in Lucy's smell first. She does indeed smell a little different. When he turns his head to Laxus, he can see the blonde man staring at their mate with wide eyes.
"Hello? Earth to Laxus?" Lucy waves her hand in front of his eyes with a soft giggle. Laxus snaps out of his thoughts and looks up, just in time to see Erik glaring in their direction. "What's going on with you two? You're both so quiet." Lucy frowns at both men.
"Lucy we need to talk, let's go to my office. Wendy, come here for a second!"
At the sound of Laxus' unsteady voice, Wendy immediately becomes concerned as she follows the three mates to the second floor, when suddenly…
"Oh, I'm so going to fucking kill you two! Just wait 'till you get back down here." Erik is pointing at the second floor, with his dragon scales already turned on. He knows damn well that Laxus and Gajeel heard him.

When Lucy arrives in Laxus' office and the door shuts, Lucy looks at the three Slayers, unsure of what to do. "What's going on?"
"Natsu is right, you do indeed smell different. Wendy is here to check if we're right."
"Right about what exactly?"
"They think you're pregnant, Lucy. It could be true, considering your smell."
Lucy's eyes widen at Wendy's words and she looks at her Slayers in shock. 'What if they don't want this? What if I'm not ready? What are we going to do?'
Wendy nods at the couch and immediately Lucy understands the small girl. She lays down on her back and closes her eyes as Wendy hovers her hands over Lucy's abdomen. She can feel the warm sensation of Wendy's magic against her skin, even through her dress.
A small gasp from Wendy is the only sound in the room. "Lucy…"
Said girl opens her eyes slowly to see Wendy smiling down at her proudly. Then all of a sudden Wendy holds up to fingers. Lucy gasps for air and covers her mouth as tears blur her vision
"Wendy, tell us."
Wendy just gives them a smile and a shrug before leaving the office, probably off to calm Erik. Both men in the room look at Lucy expectantly. She just jumps up from the couch and throws herself at them. Both of them nuzzle her neck gently in concern.
"I'm pregnant with twins." Her voice in a mere whisper, but she knows they heard her perfectly. Both men pull back abruptly, while looking at her with wide eyes. Lucy frowns at them in worry. Gajeel was the first to recover from the shock. His regular scowl quickly turns into a big, proud smile as he picks her up and twirls them both around. He's going to be a father. As soon as Lucy is standing on her own feet again, his hand descends to her abdomen. Even so early in Lucy's pregnancy, he could feel his magic inside her, along with Laxus' magic.
"One child is mine, one child is Laxus'." At Gajeel's words, Laxus snaps his head towards his fellow slayer. One child for each Dragon Slayer. It is not until that moment when he as well realizes that he will also be a father.
"Lucy…"
Lucy sends Laxus a smile and nods quickly. "We're going to be parents Laxus. You, me and Gajeel. We'll have a family of our own."
Laxus tucks a strand of hair behind her ear before leaning down to kiss her. Even though it doesn't look like it, but he feels an immense happiness in his chest. Not just for himself and Lucy, but he was also very happy for Gajeel. So when their lips separate, he turns towards the other slayer and embraces him in a hug. He didn't even care what it would look like.

"Oh dear Mavis, I have to tell Erik." Lucy covers her mouth with her hands as she starts to panic lightly.
Laxus groans deeply. "And gramps. We have to tell him as well."
Gajeel visibly pales at the thought of telling both the Poison Dragon Slayer and their old Guild Master. "Well shit."
All three of them jump in surprise when the door is slammed open and Erik walks in. "I already knew when you walked in, Bright eyes. Let's just hope they won't turn out to be jerks like their dad's." Gajeel and Laxus both glare at Erik, who just smirks in return. He then points at Lucy's stomach. "May I?"
Lucy's eyes soften and she nods, smiling. "Of course, Uncle Erik."
He strokes her cheek with the back of his hand before kneeling down and placing his ear against her abdomen. Both their souls reach out to him, the sound of it reminds him of a piano duet.
"They have such beautiful souls, Lu."
"You can already hear them?"
"Oh yes, these two are quite something." He smiles up at his little sister, before a frown appears on his face. "We should get you to the old hag though."
Immediately Gajeel and Laxus freeze. "Why, what's wrong?"
"None of us know what this pregnancy will do to Lucy's magic. Especially her new magic which is still developing as we speak."
Lucy sighs as she runs a hand down her face. "I completely forgot about that. I mean I haven't had any episodes for quite some time now."
"I agree with Erik, let's visit the old hag. Just to be sure."
Gajeel nods in agreement at Laxus' words.
well, let's get going then." Lucy is already on her way to the door by the time she finishes her sentence.

Time skip: Lucy P.O.V.

A feeling of relief courses through my veins when we finally reach Porlyusica's cabin. As Laxus goes to knock on the door, the older woman already opens the door with a glare.
"What do you annoying humans want? Hm?"
"We want to ask you something about Lucy's new power."
"Well then ask her, it's her power." The older woman turns to slam the door in their face.
"Please wait! I'm pregnant." My words force the woman to freeze and look at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Fine, come in."
I send the grumpy woman an appreciative smile before entering, followed by Laxus and Gajeel.
"When was your last episode?"
"That day in the guild, three months ago. I'm still not able to use either of the magic, but I haven't felt it shift either."
"What about the babies' magic?"
"I felt both my own magic and Laxus' magic. She's carrying twins."
"Twins?!" The older woman seems to think about something for a few minutes. "One possibility is that your babies are absorbing the other magic in your body, like a secondary magic. We will have to wait and see if you will still get any episodes or not. Also if you feel any changes in magic, come back immediately."
"So there's nothing to worry about?" Gajeel raises an eyebrow in question.
"Nothing to worry about at all. Now get the hell out of my house, filthy humans!"
We all jump up in shock at the major change in her behavior and head out the door.
"Well you heard her, nothing to worry about." I send both Dragon Slayers a bright smile. "Can we go home now? After all, we have something to celebrate." My smile turns into a smirk while I send them both a wink.

'Our own little family, I honestly can't wait!'
