Levy poked her head into the nursery, Natsu had let her in on his way out to the guild with Gajeel. "Lucky you, we didn't even get a say in our nursery."
Lucy's head popped up from the instruction manual she was skimming to smile at her friend. "Don't be too jealous, Mirajane sent me a catalogue with the items she had ordered so we could be expecting them."
The take over mage hadn't wasted a minute with planning for either of them. With Lucy at 3 months and Levy at 5 and a half, they were both equipped with freshly painted, decorated, and furnished nurseries stocked and ready to be used.
"What's the manual for?" Levy set her bag in the rocker and sidled up to her friend to get a glimpse of the small print.
"Putting the mobile on the crib." She nodded her head to the heap of string and wood sprawled out on a changing table.
Levy walked over to the toy and picked it up, her smile splitting her face. "They didn't."
Lucy nodded her head and watched the contraption bob in a circle, "They did and I cried. I'm not sure you was more shaken up by my waterworks, Natsu or Aries."
Levy snorted and scrunched her nose as the small plush toys of each zodiac passed in front of her face. They hung from strings, with two on each one. Taurus and Sagittarius, Scorpio and Aquarius, Cancer and Virgo, Leo and Aires, Pisces and Libra, Gemini and Capricorn. A tiny Plue had even been added to the string with Gemini.
"Did they all come to give it to you?"
Lucy laid the manual to the side and approached Levy, tenderly watching the mobile slowly circle in the air. "No, just Aquarius and Aries. They even wrapped it."
"Well, no wonder you cried." Levy set the toy down and nudged her friend in the arm with her elbow.
"Hey, I don't want to hear it from you. From what I heard, you were near inconsolable when Jet and Droy showed up with the box set of picture books and the first baby blanket."
Levy crossed her arms over her chest, "I was not 'near inconsolable' and you would have cried too."
Lucy beamed at the shorter girl and nudged her back, "You're right."
"So, do you want a boy or a girl?"
The celestial mage raised her head proudly and looked away, "I want a healthy baby."
"Oh, don't give me that line. You know if one of us has a girl and the other a boy, we'll never have a moment's piece from Natsu and Gajeel."
"True." Lucy rolled her head and shrugged, "A little girl would be nice, but so would a boy. With my luck, I'll have a boy that's Natsu made over."
Levy laughed, "I think we'd both be doomed in that sense." Levy placed the mobile down and ran a hand over her distended belly. "I can't see this one being a girl. Something tells me it'll be a boy."
Lucy flung her arm around Lucy's shoulders as they left the nursery for the kitchen. "Then I'll just have to have a boy too and they'll be stuck being best friends whether they like it or not."
Levy laughed, "In that case, I hope with every fiber of my being they're like us and not their fathers."
#47; Lucy and Levy being pregnant besties.
