Hi Everyone its the WildCard555 Here with the 20th chapter of Child of Darkness. Lets that soak in for a moment. Wow never thought this story would get this high up there in the numbers as I started this one of kind of as a joke to myself, but all of you have come to enjoy it even though it has its faults. Sometimes I don't think I say this enough but thank you everyone for the support you have all given this fanfic. Now lets get this chapter started.
Normally I respond to review from the previous chapter. This time I'm just going to say THANK YOU. Now lets get to reading. You've all waited long enough.
I Own Nothing!
Chapter 20.
Pillow Talk?
"Today is the day!" Lucy said to herself getting dressed in a pink maternity nightgown that just covered her panties after taking a warm bath, as she was told by Porlyusica that pregnant women shouldn't take hot baths as that essentially is like boiling the baby. She also had a few other questions answered. "Today is the day!" She repeated. Ever since Ultear asked about her sex life a couple weeks ago she was eager to have sex with Ceadra for a second time. Especially with how he'd been getting more intimate the past couple of days since his nightmare, plus her with increased hormones she really wanted it.
With how distant he'd been for so long she wanted to take advantage of him opening more. After all the more open they were to each other the stronger their growing love could blossom.
She had tried asking him a hand full of times already but each time lost her nerve. Thinking back to what Ultear had said her second time started with an argument. "For her that might work but not for me?" Believing in true love since she was a little girl she couldn't imagine doing such a thing for sex. Sadly besides him initiating things like last time the only other thing she could think of was straight up asking him.
Looking over at the clock she saw she had a few minutes until he would come in to charge the seal on their son's neck. It was already made up in her mind that she'd try to initiate the encounter after he was done charging it. Even though they'd already done it she felt more butterflies in her stomach now than she was when they first made love. Without realizing it time had already expired.
At the door stood a black-haired man dressed in dark blue pants and a simple black tee-shirt. "Are you ready?" Zeref asked opening the door to the bedroom seeing his pregnant lover resting against the headboard of their bed.
"Yeah!" Smiling at him as he walked over to her and sat down right beside her placing his hand over her growing tummy. Once on her did she feel a tingling feeling she got whenever his magic went through her which always seemed to make her giggle.
Once the charging was done did the black haired man bend down to kiss where his hand just was. "Two more months Kuro." Hearing another giggle did he look up to see the blonde smiling at him brightly. "What's so funny?" He asked playfully knowing the answer.
"It just makes me feel so warm and fuzzy seeing you like this."
"What? Should I not be looking forward to meeting our son?" Backing away from her belly.
Quickly grabbing the sleeve of his shirt. "No!" Pulling him back in. "Its just...nice to see you like this."
Sighing. "It took me a while, but I'm finally starting to accept becoming a father." Thanks to the nightmare he began to realize he had been given a second chance to have the life that was taken from him. A chance he refused to let slip by.
Both of them then thought of the first couple of months since Zeref returned to Lucy. During that time he had next to minimal contact with him taking care of other things around the former apartment that she couldn't due to the bed-rest. they shared stories and got to know each other better. Only since the nightmare had he began to be more intimate towards the woman who was more than eager to return it. Instead of the duty bound feel she was getting from him now she began to feel the love being put into it before.
While in thought did the celestial-mage interlock her hand in his. "Better late than never." She smiled.
Unlike all the other times after charging the seal on his son's neck the Death-Mage didn't have any other chores that needed to be done as he just finished unpacking the last box of the move. "Is there anything else I can do for my Angel?" He grinned.
Feeling her heart nearly skip a beat. "Well actually I think I do." Her nerves already getting to her she didn't realize she wasn't even look at him.
Caressing her cheek he gently turned her soft face till they looked into each others eyes. "Just ask me and I'll do it." Feeling his chest tightening up.
"I wa... I was won..." constantly losing her nerves while butterflies danced in her belly. "Never mind." Looking away as she gave up.
Scooting in closer. "If something is bothering you this much it can't be nothing." Gently squeezing her hands in his. "Just tell me what you need."
Those words gave Lucy the burst of courage she needed. Turning quickly and reaching for his face she pulled him in while lining up their lips as they quickly meet. Unlike all the other kisses they've shared since he came back this wasn't a quick peck or a simple 'love you' kiss. This was one full of passion saying they needed more than the others lips.
Feeling those soft lips still smashed to his was a bit of a shock at first. However he got the message quickly and began to oblige his love meeting her passion with his own. Separating from the kiss Zeref lightly pressed his forehead and nose to Lucy's looking into her gorgeous brown orbs. "Are you sure?" Knowing it didn't need to be asked.
Instead of answering with words did she tilt her head so there lips touched for a second time.
The following scene contains a lemon. A lemon involving a very pregnant Lucy. If you don't like lemons or like the thoughts of pregnant women having sex scroll on down to End Lemons. You have been warned because this will probably be one of the most awkward lemons ever(and possibly my worst).
The heat and hunger in their kiss grew with each second. Already hands exploring the other. Working together Zeref was soon topless enjoying the feel of her soft hands on his toned chest and arms. While she was working his chest did he begin to work a hand under he pink nightgown. when he tried to roll it up her body did he feel his hand getting smacked away.
"What was that for?"
To Lucy this was the hardest part. Even though she loves him she felt nervous letting her see her naked, especially with how far she was. "I'm..." Nervously trying to say something other than fat, even though she knew she wasn't. She was more so worried about the sight turning him off. "I'm..."
As if he could read her mind. "More beautiful than the day we first meet." Feeling her melting at his words did they begin to work her nightgown off. It took some effort and soon enough her seven-month pregnant belly was exposed as well as her enlarged breasts as she didn't bother to put on a bra that day. Crawling backwards south of the bed did he begin to plant more kisses on it.
Feeling his lips on her bear belly tickled her more than when the magic went through her. "That tickles." She giggled only to stop feeling fingers working their way under her panties. Lifting her hips off the bed to make it easier to remove.
Once he had her last shed of clothing removed did Zeref stand up as he worked his pants and underwear off in the same motion. Taking in full view of her naked form she actually looked so much hotter to him this time around than she did the only other time they had sex.
Staring at the man did she see the cock that had made her a mother. Looking at it did she feel her core heating up wanting it so bad back inside her. 'Was he always so muscular?' Taking in the rest of his toned body as he was with hers.
Now came the awkward part. How were they actually going to have sex without putting Kuro in any harm, or putting any pressure on him while they made love.
Lucy wanted to try being on top this time around, but didn't like the idea of bouncing baby around on his neck. Sighing she opened her legs assuming they'd do it in the same position as last time.
Zeref now on top tried to figure out what to do. With her enlarged belly they couldn't do it like they did the first time, bodies pressed together. Also thinking for his son he didn't want to put any of his weight down on him. Sure he could stay straight up, but wanted to have more contact while making love.
Thinking to some of Erza's naughty books she had borrowed from time to time did she think of trying out 'doggy style'. But then the thought of her belly swinging back and forth franticly threw that position straight out the window.
Both lovers together let out a sigh of frustrations continuing to try to find a safe way to have sex while not harming Kuro.
Still trying to find a good position to work with Lucy grabbed a pillow placing it on her side as she rolled over to her left. Once on her side she felt her right leg being lifted up until it was on the mans shoulder. Luckily she managed to keep her flexibility thanks to daily stretching. Not feeling any pressure on her belly she nodded her head telling him they found a safe position to work with.
Getting the signal did the Black-Wizard grab a hold of his throbbing erection lining himself up with the younger woman's moist hole. Once aligned he began to shove himself against her tightness slowly digging his way in. On the way did he notice a pain filled look appear on her cute face. "What's wrong?" He asked worriedly stopping his entrance believing he just hurt her.
"Its nothing." Feeling vaginal walls getting stretched for only the second time she felt a similar pain to when she had given up her virginity. "Just have to get used to you again." Yet the pain wasn't nearly as bad as the first. "Its been a while since the first time."
Nodding his head he went back to filling his love's hole. Once fully embedded he started a series of short gentle thrusts to ease her pain away until pleasure would take its place.
With the way Ceadra was moving his hardened pole in her the pain quickly began to subside and began to feel the ecstasy of sex slowly building up within her. Looking up did she see his bare chest with a layer of sweat building on it. Reaching for hit she placed her hand on his hard sweaty chest occasionally pinching his nipples.
Taking that as a sign to go a step further he increased the length of his thrusts. Doing so he felt her heat wrapping around him tighter. Still looking at her face he saw that she was really starting to enjoy it as well. Looking further south did he that her already large boobs had gotten bigger since last he saw them. How badly he wanted to suck upon them, but couldn't due to the reason they had become bigger. Instead he found himself getting hypnotized by them as they rocked back and forth to the rhythm of his thrusting.
Looking up until she was looking into his lust filled eyes she saw he was looking at her chest. Thinking of how she wanted to take the lead but couldn't she saw a different opportunity to do so. Moving the hand she had on his chest she brushed her hand over her elevated leg, and onto his long muscled arm going down its length until she touched his hand. Next she guided said hand to her right breast making him massage it with his hand increasing the pleasure her body was feeling.
"So soft." Feeling his hand sinking into the soft mound no longer feeling her smaller hand on his he felt its softness rubbing his chest once more.
Having found what they felt the best position the two lovers continued to feel each other as they were for minutes letting the euphoria of pleasure for each of them continue to build and build. Every once in a while they would slow down to prolong the sex so they could indulge in the bliss they gave the other. Neither one wanting it to end. Then again there's only so long one can last. In this case it was neither one of them as their respective orgasm was growing to the point of not being able to deny their high.
Throwing some caution to the wind Zeref picked up his pacing significantly with a series of fast powerful thrust to maximize both orgasms.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHH! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Lucy moaned feeling all of him and what he was doing. As good as the sex was before this was amazing. So much that she took her hand off his chest and put both behind her head only focused on matching his increasing rhythm which wasn't easy to do in her condition. If there was an option to do it like this the whole time she had one more thing to look forward to after the baby was born.
Rubbing her tits harder did he feel a warm strange liquid grow under his palm. Removing it to take a look did he see it was her milk on his hand. "MMNNNN!" Enjoying its sweet taste. How badly he wanted to taste more of it, but didn't want to take food away from his son. Her loud moans were music to his ears. Each plunge he made he felt her tight walls clamp down on him tighter and tighter each time. This telling him she was close to her orgasms which was good because there wasn't much longer he could hold back his own. "MMMMNNNN! MMMMMNNNNNNNN! MMMMMMNNNN!" Groaning in bliss.
Looking into the others brown eyes they knew without words what was to come. So they did at the same time. All the love juices that escaped Lucy was replaced by the seed Zeref filled her up with. The stayed connected riding out the euphoria. Eventually the mans limp member was forced out by her continual squeezing of her wall. Both spent did the man lay down behind the woman wrapping one arm around her between her tits and belly keeping them close.
End Lemon.
Not only was she still riding her high, but Lucy was also enjoying the feel of Ceandra pressed to her back while he held her tightly. Never before did she feel so safe in her life. Feeling a slight tug of her hair did she look to see that he was playing with her long locks. Slowly moving her gaze up did she find herself staring into his darker brown eyes looking back into hers lovingly.
With the present before him did Zeref hate to think of his past, but couldn't help it. After all it had been centuries since the last time he was entangled with someone that he loved so dearly. The longer he looked into her eyes the closer they drew to each other until they kissed. "I love you Lucy." Whispering after breaking apart from the kiss.
"I love you too Ceadra." Whispering back followed by a long stretch of comfortable silence of them just laying down in each others arms. "Why do you love me?" Lucy nearly didn't ask but did.
Fearing a mood swing did the man know to tread lightly with whatever he was about to say. "Why do you ask?" Not wanting to set her off.
"Two days ago when you had your nightmare you said it made you realize how much you love me." Lucy knew it had to do with his nightmares. She just wasn't sure if she was about to open old wounds not ready healed. "What was your dream about?"
Looking at her face he could tell just how sincere she was. Lucy had been open to him about everything she told him yet he was still holding back. Seeing how much she wanted them to work did he realize he wanted things to work just as much as her. To do that he had to open as well, or as open as he could be without telling her he was the Dark-Wizard Zeref. "I know you might not want me to say it, but you've probably realized you weren't my first while I was yours?"
Sadly she did, but that didn't matter to much as he was with her now. "Yeah! I have." Still with the dreams she had growing up it did hurt a little.
"There has only been one other." Zeref assured her. " I was madly in love her and she was with me." Feeling strange talking about Sylvia to Lucy, yet at the same time feeling a giant weight slowly being lifted off aching shoulders. "She was actually the first person I meet after running away from my father. We were nearly inseparable growing up. We were each others first in every manner." Feeling tears falling down just thinking of those days that he couldn't hold back.
Lucy stayed silent feeling extremely jealous of this woman. She wanted to be angry but she asked to hear it. Also with her dreams of becoming a famous writer she was catching how he was saying everything was leading to tragedy so the anger didn't last.
"We never left each others side no matter what job we took...Except for one." The nightmare replaying in his mind. Expecting his Angel to say something he paused only to see she was listening to it all. "Our guild master gave us a Bounty-Hunting job from the King of Enca himself. Sylvia wasn't feeling good enough to leave the bed let alone go on that job. So I went alone."
'Sylvia!' Taking the name in.
"As I would latter find out Sylvia wasn't feeling well because she was pregnant." Images of her stabbed belly haunted him making his face go pale.
The Celestial Mage's whole world froze hearing that. Waves of varying emotions wanting to come out hearing that. Only seeing the tears falling heavier made her stop from lashing anything out. Then all the anger faded away as she saw him struggling to choke out what was next. Scooting back she rested her back against the headboard of the bed. Gently she moved him till he rested his head on her belly while she pat his head and rubbed his back.
"I was hunting him for so long...When I...When I found out he...he...his next move was my hometown I ran...I ran so hard." Burying his head into Lucy's collarbone as he had moved up to hug her. "That's when I found her."
Any negative feeling the Celestial-Mage had about Sylvia vanished. Only able to see a small portion of her belly could she only imagine what he felt when Kuro was nearly killed having lost one baby already. 'Was that why he kept himself distant for so long?' Still only able to imagine losing a child you never got to see, let alone going through it a second time.
Even with how shook up he was he could feel she knew what was next so he skipped over that part of her death. "My whole world went spiraling out of control after that." Replacing his story of becoming Zeref into a story of him not caring anymore. Distancing himself from the guild who saved him as a child, not taking care of himself to the point of abusing his body, and bringing nearly all he had tracked down on the edge of deaths door. "Rising Phoenix started to call me a Demon much like my father's village did. That lasted for years of me living the life of a 'Demon'. All but kicked out of the guild if not for my BH skills."
Hearing all of this brought her to crying nearly as hard as him. Yet she was grateful for him being able to share his pain with her seeing how hard it was for him to bear.
"That was until my last mission." Willing for his tears to stop as he looked back into Lucy's eye.
"When you met me!" Finally speaking after listening to Ceadra for so long.
"To be honest I was in a haze until I came to realize you were the last girl up for bid. When I saw you...You look so much like her. So much that money wasn't a thing so long as I could have her back, even for one night." In a second he saw a flash of jealousy in Lucy's eyes that quickly changed to pity. "Once I won your bid did I see you for a second time to realize you weren't Sylvia."
The blond was about to say sorry until he cut her off.
"You have nothing to apologize for." Knowing just how big her heart was he knew she'd take blame for something she didn't even think of doing. Sighing. "I wanted to run away once I realized it. Then I looked at you for a third time did I think. Maybe this is my chance to finally heal my still bleeding scars."
"And so we began." Feeling happiness that she helped him in that first step towards healing.
"After Sylvia died I didn't think I'd ever be able to feel anything for anyone else. But during our date we just kept on connecting to each other." Thinking back to that day he thought he'd be dreading the whole thing with his only thought of impregnating her later that night for his original plan. Only for things to happen he never expected. "For the first time in a long time you made me feel alive." Placing his hand over his heart that had been aching for a couple minutes now. "You made me start to fell what it was to love and be loved again."
Lucy's heart raced hearing just how much that date meant to him. "And to make love again." Smiling thinking of that night while rubbing her belly
Zeref took a big gulp. "To be honest when I was waiting outside while you looked for my shirt did I think of you as Sylvia again with how much you two look like each other." Looking away while feeling her glaring through him. "I know that you two are completely different, but not knowing if we'd ever meet again I thought in a way having sex with you in a way I could have her one last time."
"You thought of me as your dead lover?" Gritting her teeth in anger while giving a glare warning him to watch what he was about to say next.
"Truth be told when I woke up naked in your bed I freaked out. All the events that had been haunting me came back. I didn't leave your bed because of the job. I left because I realized how much you reminded my of her, and that made me felt like I had cheated on her."
Ready to scream 'get out' only for it to come out muffled by his hand covering her mouth.
"In that moment I knew I'd never be able to let go." Zeref continued. "I tried to forget and treat us like a one-night stand. I believed with all my heart I was meant to be with Sylvia that I felt I cheated on her with you. I felt I had to leave you forever. Yet the more I told myself that the more and more I remembered how we connected so naturally. How it felt to be alive again after so long be dead to the world. How it felt to simply be with you, even if it was just that one day. It all felt so natural." Pause "Then one thing that hurt the most popped into my head that finally made me decide to come back." Removing his hand slowly moving it back until it rested on her belly.
"What if you impregnated me?" Voice filled with anger hearing him say he almost didn't come back to her at all. More importantly that he lied to her about wanting to get back to her as fast as possible the night he came back
"What if I ended up having two children and never got to meet either of them." Zeref thought back to the night Lucy was hit he only thought of Losing Kuro as a weapon and not a son. Now looking at it he nearly lost his son, his beloved unborn son.
"So you did just stay with me because of Kuro."
"Yes..." Seeing her cocking back her right hand ready to slap the ever loving shit out of him. "And No!"
Stopping her hand just before striking his cheek. "Go on!' Gritting her teeth again.
"At first I only stayed with you for Kuro." Keeping his hand over him while moving the other to caress his mothers cheek. "Then gradually over time I had this one thought." Thanking Sylvia for convincing him to go back to Lucy sooner than he planned. "What if I could learn to love again."
"Learn to love again?" Lucy questioned thinking those four words over and over calming down a little.
"I don't want to go back to being that 'Demon' again." Zeref nearly shouted. "I don't want to feel empty again, I don't want to live just to stay alive, I want know what it is to love and be loved again." Thinking the same he did on Tenrou Island not wanting to hurt anyone ever again. Only to go back after Grimoire Heart tried to reawaken him. But now feeling the love he'd long forgotten coming back to his heart did he want to live a peaceful life with the woman he loved and their son. "I want to go back to the old me, the man before the demon." Silently vowing to never kill another so long as he lived. After all if he did he'd be taken from his Angel, and Kuro.
For the second time in a short while did the hatred in Lucy's heart fade away feeling herself melting away by his words and his pure emotions behind them showing he wanted what he was talking about.
"I don't want to live being surrounded by blind hatred that consumed me." Letting go of her face and belly did the ancient wizard take both of the younger mages hands in his. "I want to be with you for the rest of my life Lucy. I want to see our children grow. I want us to be a family." He begged.
"If that's what you really want then there is only one thing you need to do." Lucy said softly not knowing if he was ready for what she was about to ask of him.
"What?"
"You have to let go."
Looking at Lucy did Sylvia's image replace hers as time stood still. The only thing moving was his now painful heart beat.
'She's right Ceadra.' Sylvia's image spoke to him.
'Sylvia!' Zeref feeling her presence in his mind.
'Do you really want her?'
'...'
'Its alright!' Her image leaning forward to take him into her arms.
Placing his hand over his chest. 'With all my heart.'
'Then release me!'
The first Demonic spell Zeref learned was binding the souls of the dead to their original bodies. Only by bringing them back this way they came back as incomplete selves as puppets to tend his bidding. 'I tried so hard to bring you back.' Now returning her embrace. Remembering the pain he felt after bringing her back to learn he couldn't bring back her entire soul. The part that made a person feel love, only the memories of who they once were, and what they could never be again.
'I know you did.' Having seen just how far he feel into the darkness to truly bring her back, but couldn't. They stayed in each others arms for several frozen minutes of time. 'You have to learn to love again.' Using his own words.
Time began to work normally again. Silently he let go of Lucy's hands and got off the bed to head towards the window.
"Ceadra." Lucy doing her best to get off the bed to get by his side by the window he was opening up. Luckily it was now late at night so no one could see them naked through the now open window. Once behind him did she wrap her arms around his chest.
Zeref called fourth one of the two souls he had brought back from the dead. In his closed right hand was the binding keeping Sylvia's soul in this world. Looking up towards the heavens above did he raise his right hand towards what he thought was the gate. "You can go now." Opening his right hand finally letting her soul go back to the afterlife.
Still holding him did the blonde feel him quiver. 'Was it too much of me to ask him to let go?' Wondering until he turned in her grip so they faced each other. "Ceadra.' Looking up into his enlightened brown orbs.
Looking down into her worried brown orb he hugged her back. "Thank you my Angel. For helping me finally move on."
Thinking it would take him a while to actually move on she was almost stunned to see him do so, and looking at her in a way saying he actually did. "You're welcome. " Pulling from each other just enough so they could line themselves up for a short yet sweet loving kiss. "My Demon."
"Your Demon?" Zeref questioned.
"The rest of the world rejected you thinking you an 'unholy demon'." Lucy said referring to his dark parts of his life he just told her about. "But I see the light none of them even bothered to look for. So let them think of you as such, but let them know that this Demon found his Angel who showed him the light." Smiling lovingly at him. "My Demon."
Her beautiful words making his heart beating so fast he could barely mask the pain he was feeling. "My Angel." Grinning as he carefully picked her up before putting her back on the bed. As much as he wanted to make love to her again the roller coaster of memories and emotions both went through was too much for them to deny the call of sleep. Instead the two peacefully feel asleep in each others arms
Somewhere far way.
A woman looking to be in her early twenties with long purple hair with a slight curl near the end placed her hand over her heart. Opening her black eyes did she see she was falling up into the nights star filled skies only to feel tears cascading down her fair skin. "Thank you Lucy!" Feeling a huge wave of peace sweeping over her that she had been praying for for centuries. "Please take care of Ceandra and never let Zeref come back." Blinded by a white light that surrounded her. "And my love. Thank you for finally letting go." Taking a step into and accepting the lights warmth.
After taking one more step did she find herself standing in a ocean of cloud with the sun perfectly overhead. She soaked in the serenity until she heard someone calling for her.
"Mommy!" A young child called out.
Hearing that word brought her to tears once more. "Yes! Mommy is finally here." Turning to see the child she only now got to see for the first time. "Now and forever." opening her arms for the child to run into her embrace for the first time. Once in her arms did she see the pearly gates opening for her. Looking closer did she see her Ceadra was the one opening the gates for her inviting her to Heaven.
End Chapter 20.
Next Chapter.
Confusion?
I'd like to apologize for the lemon portion of this chapter. To be honest I have no problem writing smut to anyone who has read my 2 newer ongoing stories Demon Take Over, and Private Time. But when it comes to this story I don't like writing lemons for it because its for two people in love, and being honest with you all I've still yet to experience what it is to be in love with someone so writing lemons in this story is difficult for me because I just don't feel I can do what I want to be done right(in terms of the lemon part). Plus the fact Lucy is so far pregnant(seven months) in this added another layer of difficulty to it. Well at least now with that out of the way I can get back to posting more chapters.
Also to anyone not getting Sylvia's ending it was the Zeref/Ceadra of her memories opening the gates for her meaning she gets to be with him and their child in Heaven. Meanwhile the Zeref/Ceandra still living will continue to do so with Lucy waiting for Kuro to be born.
To make the long wait up to you all I will get two more chapters of this story published before August ends. Hopefully I can get Kuro born before October.
Until next time my lovely readers.
Have an awesome one.
