Celestial Magic
"Lucy, do you think this is even a good idea?" Natsu Dragneel, the fire dragon slayer from Fairy Tail asked with concern. Lucy Dragneel his 37-week pregnant wife, turned her big brown eyes towards her husband offering him a small assuring smile. "We'll be fine Natsu, the baby isn't due in another two weeks. Either or you don't have a choice in the matter but to take this job and finish it, you owe it to Master after you burned the Cathedral a few weeks ago, he sure went through a lot of trouble convincing the magic council NOT to charge Fairy Tail and us with a ridiculous amount of money, hmph!" Lucy crossed her arms above her round belly annoyed at her destructive husband. "Hey! All I was trying to do is catch that dark wizard! They should be grateful, took their own authorities to catch him for weeks, while it only took me mare hours hehe" the dragon slayer smirked, proud at his accomplishment. Lucy sweat-dropped at his words, leave it to Natsu to never take accountability, worst part is that our son is going the same path. Mavis! Let this second child not cause any more problems, Lucy prayed while comical tears fell from her eyes.
"I really don't feel comfortable leaving you, and Iggy alone while you're also carrying our other little dragon. What if something happens and I'm not here?! I refuse!" Natsu ramped while walking back and forth in their room, glaring at imaginary enemies. Lucy smiled softly at his lash of concern, besides Natsu being overprotective naturally over his loved ones, his dragon blood made it hard for him to leave his mate, and children unwatched. "Oh Natsu, you know Erza and everyone in Fairy Tail will never let anything happen to us if there were to be any kind of danger around, and I have my spirits as well."
That made Natsu even more uncomfortable, using up her spirit magic to any extremes especially pregnant could not only risk the child in her womb but also deplete her whole body of magic, causing death. He shook in fear just thinking about it, without knowing his feet walked him towards the celestial mage, he hugged her gently "Lucy promise me you won't use any magic, you already know that-"
"Yes, I know Natsu, I promise. Now let's finish you packing, I have to cook dinner before Iggy gets back from schooling at the guild." Lucy held Natsu's cheeks gently, giving him a chaste kiss on his unusually warm soft lips. Not being able to resist her affection, Natsu only pulled her in for a deeper kiss. The child inside the womb kicked hard enough for Natsu to feel it, he let go of Lucy's lips and smiled warmly. "She's going to be one rumbustious child" Natsu chuckled. Lucy widens her eyes, and looked up at her handsome man. "She? How can you be so sure is a girl?" Lucy asked curious. Natsu shrugged "I'm not, I just have this feeling!" he laughed. "A girl with your beautiful brown eyes, filled with the shinning stars in them…" Natsu whispered while staring at his ethereal goddess of a wife he has, a younger Natsu would have definitely laughed at his thoughts. Lucy blushed, Natsu will always be the same Natsu but one thing has for sure changed since they officially became a couple. "Mou honey… you can't be saying things like that to me right now!" Natsu only smirked, dragging his fingers slowly down her porcelain face he grabbed a lock of her beautiful long golden hair and brought it up to his nose as he inhaled its wonderful scent, then kissed it gently while his green seductive eyes caught her shy chocolate brown ones.
"I hope you know how hard it is having to leave even if it is for a couple of days, my love" he whispered low enough for her ears to hear. Her body flushed immediately, curse these pregnancy hormones! "Natsu… packing… dinner…" she was able to whisper back at him, his seductive green eyes had her in a trance! How can his smirk get any wider, and soooo darn hot?!
Natsu put some distance between them, "Alright fine I'll go BUTyou'll have to let me do whatever I wish tonight." he smirked sensually at her, saying that she was as red as a tomato was understated. "You perverted dragon slayer! FINE but you better know I'll do whatever I want too" the celestial mage smirked hotly back at him. "Ohhhhh you are so on Luce Wahahaha!" he cackled.
"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" Iggy Dragneel, five years old shouted from the first floor, Lucy shook her head in disapproval as she heard their front door smack hard against the wall. "I swear he behaves like you more each day!" she huffed while supporting her back with an arm. Natsu laughed once again, "Ah come on, he does have your brains though" he smiled, Lucy couldn't help but nod in agreement. Iggy is ahead when it comes to his age, not only with his regular lessons but also with his magic. Soon they heard running coming up their stairs and soon their bedroom door was slammed open.
"Hi buddy! Did you have a good time at the guild?" Natsu approached his son, while he ruffled his pink locks. Iggy grinned that contagious Dragneel grin, "You bet papa! Auntie Levy says our magic is getting better and better! Of course, Auntie Erza still was scary as ever…" Iggy shook with fear, and his parents sweat dropped at his statement. Levy and Erza had taken the role of teaching the little ones not only to read and write but also to control their magic, and hand on hand combat. Lucy was all for the books and magic, but was so much against the martial arts part. "Maybe you want to wait to train with Auntie Erza next year instead sweetie?" she smiled hopefully. "WHAT? No way Mom! I love learning how to kick some butts!" Iggy jumped up and down excited.
"See Luce what did I tell ya! He is more than ready! I was his age when I started learning from Igneel, and look at me I turned out fine as hell" Natsu smirked with confidence. "That's exactly what worries me" Lucy deadpanned. "Hey!" Natsu pouted. Lucy pinched his cheeks "Do I have to remind you why you have to go on this job? Mister destroyer of property and our savings! Hmph!" She stomped her foot with threat. "Ouch ouch ouch! Okay I surrender!" Natsu shrieked in pain. "Iggy help your daddy pack, will you? Mommy has to start dinner" she pecked her son on the cheek. "Of course, mama!" Iggy grinned.

It was a rather beautiful morning, everyone in the guild had gathered to say their goodbyes to Natsu, Gray, and Gahggel who were on a mission together with Natsu. To say that Lucy, and the rest of the guild were more than worried letting these three take care of a mission together. "I seriously don't know what master was thinking letting these three assholes go anywhere together…" Cana stated out loud. Everyone at the gates agreed with the drunk mage, "Hey what the hell do you mean?!" the three of them shouted indignant at their lack of trust.
"Just please behave! Lord knows I'm only letting this happen because they need wizards with your kind of capability, don't let me down." Master Makarov stood in front of them wishing his children a safe return. The three men walked towards their respective wives and children. Gahgeel hugged his small wife Levy, and patted the head of their twin babies. Gray kissed his lovely wife Juvia lightly on her lips, a kiss on the forehead for his beautiful daughter, and lastly a gentle pat on the head for their new born son. Natsu approached Lucy, there wasn't anyone that didn't notice the dragon slayer's sadness in his eyes. "Take care Luce, I'll finish this quick I promise" he kissed her lightly on the lips. "Mmm, I know you will. Please be careful, and come back to us like always" her brown eyes teared, oh she was sad alright she misses him every time he leaves for a job without her. Natsu smiled at her, he crouched at eye level to look at his son next, his rough hand ruffling his messy salmon colored hair. "Igneel take care of mom, and your brother or sister until I get back. You are the man of the house when papa isn't around." Iggy's eyes brighten with determination at his father's words. "I promise papa!" at last Natsu put his warm hand on his wife's swollen stomach. "Be good to your momma in there buddy, hang in there until I'm back" Lucy smiled warmly at his words, oh he's such a sweetheart. Unthinkably tears started to drop from her eyes, needless to say Natsu freaked out. "Luce?! Are you okay? I'M NOT GOING!" he shouted, she smacked him on the head. "Stupid, it's just the baby crying! I'll be fine having a break from your loudness and your messes…" she pouted like a little child, Natsu stared wide eyed at her then smiled knowingly. "Alright fine I'm on my way but you better know that I'll miss you guys every minute! Happy you know what to do!" "Aye sir!" Happy flew next to Lucy, "I will keep them safe Natsu I promise"
With said promise, Natsu went on ahead with his three best, but also annoying team mates to finish this annoying quest once and for all. Turning around one last time, he waved at their families until he couldn't make out the color of his beautiful wife's hair or their son's bright colored salmon hair.

It has been exactly five days since Natsu left for his mission, and needless to say that it has been not the least quiet since he left. Iggy and Happy have managed to keep the house just as loud, and messy. Yet here she was just finishing cleaning the house with Virgo, her baby just due in a few days. "Is there anything else we need to get ready for baby-sama's room princess?" Virgo asked, Lucy was sitting down taking a rest from all the cleaning, she smiled towards her celestial spirit. "Not at all, Natsu made sure that was all done before he had to leave" Virgo smiled approvingly "So lovely sightseeing a husband so deep into his family, we made the right choice to choose Natsu-sama as the princess husband." Lucy sweat- dropped, doesn't she mean I did a good choice in choosing the right husband. "If you don't need anything else princess then I shall be on my way. I promised Leo-niisan and Aquarius I would go shopping for the new prince or princess in the celestial world"
"Okay woah? I understand you and Loke but Aquarius too?!" Lucy's mouth dropped to the floor. Virgo smiled; she's been smiling a lot as of lately… Lucy thought. "Is that a bad thing princess? Shall you punish me?" … and there it goes; she doesn't change in that aspect at least. Suddenly the celestial spirit kneeled in front of her wizard, gently touching the swell of her belly. "This child won't only possess Natsu-sama's dragon abilities, but will also bear the strong celestial magic coming from the lineage of the Heartfilia's." Lucy's eyes widen. "Aquarius told us to keep quiet until the day of the birth, but I agree differently." Virgo spoke mysteriously serious. Lucy brushing it off as something she's imagining, "You can tell?" she asked, "I mean about her magic?" she added.
Virgo rubbed her belly one more time, then looked at the bearer of her key smiling. "Oh yes of course, we all can. We feel the magic, through you princess. It was different with our prince, he possesses enough celestial magic in him to call out silver keys, I'm afraid it would be harder for him to summon a gold key. Now this child, has a perfect balance of both… quite fascinating to me." Virgo stopped talking, letting Lucy process the information she just let out. Lucy didn't know if it was her hormones or what but she started to have a dreading feeling about what she just heard. The celestial spirit noticed this and proceeded to say, "Are you frighten, princess?" she asked. Lucy's worried eyes looked at Virgos natural stoic eyes. "I'm not sure why, I should feel happy our baby being so much like us equally; but I can't shake this ominous feeling…" she finished weakly all of a sudden. Virgo stud up alarmed holding her wizard's hand, "Are you alright princess? Should I fend for miss Wendy?" Lucy looked up at her and shook her head, "I'm fine Virgo just tired from cleaning probably" she smiled warmly. "I can stay with you until Iggy-sama and happy-sama return from fishing." Virgo told her at her not trusting her words. "I'm fine Virgo you have plans, besides Cana said she will be coming to join us for dinner and some girl time like she says" Lucy laughed comically. "Well, I shall wait until she gets here. No complaints please princess." Lucy sighed resigned.

"Keep pulling Happy!" Little Iggy yelled at the exceed pulling behind him while he kept a good grip on his fishing pole, both working hard to reel in their feisty catch. "Don't you dare let go Iggy! Dad keep pulling! Ohhh boyyy it looks like a big one!" a small exceed shouted in the air flying with her little wings, a complete replica of Happy but with white fur at the tips of her ears, and tail. "What you think I'm doing Joy! I'm pulling with all I got, how about you help instead of just floating watching the show!" Joy smirked; you'll know for sure Charla is her mother. "I am a girl. I can't get my brand-new clothes dirty, no matter how much I love fish!" both Iggy and Happy rolled their eyes, girls are annoying. Iggy for sure knew that besides his mother, all other women were just annoying; yes, including his aunts back in the guild. He gets along with Ur, but sometimes they do get into fights nothing uncommon knowing they are being raised in Fairy Tail, where brawls between nakama is nothing but fun!
"Iggy stop daydreaming and pull it already!" Joy's annoyed voice shouted at him. With all the almighty strength in his five-year-old body, he pulled a fish a decent size enough for a feast! His huge Dragneel grin spreading across his face. "Hooray! We did it! Natsu would be so proud of us!" Happy shouted spreading his wings with might. "Yes! And mamma will make sure to cook it so deliciously I can't wait." Happy frowned, "But they are better raw!" he complained. Joy and Iggy scrunched up their noses, "they smell horrible like that dad!" Joy retorted. Happy's eyes filled with tears of betrayal, "Joy how could you?! I thought I raised you well?" She rolled her eyes at her father's words. "I guess it's a sacrifice a father is to do for their child" Happy sniffed sadly. Iggy wrapped the fish nicely, and put it in the basket his mother had provided him with; they have quite a bit of fish but the weight didn't bother him. "Cheer up happy we have plenty of fish you can eat raw" he smiled. The three friends started walking from the forest where the pond was right behind their house, no one besides them lived around this area people to afraid to live so out of the town side, but not them! They were wizards, and of Fairy Tail the famous guild, and well both his parents are famous wizards having won countless of the grand magic games, completing S class missions; he dreams of the day he could be just as great as them.
"Tell me Iggy do you prefer a sister or a brother?" Joy asked the question breaking the quietness of their walk. Iggy's face scrunched up in confusion, "I haven't really given it a thought, I mean you girls are annoying so I guess I prefer a brother." he thought looking straight ahead. "How rude, we aren't annoying we are just less grimy than you lot" Joy crossed her arms. "But you don't find Lushi annoying," Happy commented. Iggy looked at his friends and thought to himself and they had a point, "I'm not sure, I still stick to wanting a baby bro" Iggy said firmly. "If you say so! Your loss." Joy stated. Iggy smiled, and shook his head at her behavior, suddenly something caught his attention; a scent. He halted his steps, and took a moment look around them, between the trees or the grass; something he has become good at thanks to his dad teaching him how to properly use all his senses, his eyes didn't catch anything. "Happy. Let's fly!" He told the exceed suddenly. "But it will be heavy with the basket of fish!" he complained. "Oh, stop it dad! We'll get there faster flying anyway! I'm starving!" Joy shouted at her father. "Yes mam!" Happy picked up Iggy, while the young dragon slayer made sure to not let go of their precious basket. He couldn't smell anything anymore, he wanted to hurry home not sure why but he needed to make sure his mother, and soon to be brother were doing okay.

"Man, what a boring mission that was!" Natsu complained walking down the path to get back to Magnolia. "I thought you wanted to finish quick pyro head" Gray shot at Natsu with his usual sarcasm. Natsu punched his fists in frustration "I wanted a challenge at least; those idiots were nothing but trash! I rather fight Laxus at the guild!" he growled. "Can ya quit your yapping?! It's annoying! I want to get home as soon as I can to get rid of your asses!" Ghageel involved himself in the conversation. "We would get there quicker if we could ride, I don't know? A train! Ugh! Stupid dragon slayers and their weaknesses." Gray grumbled angrily. It was obvious the three of them missed their homes, the comfort of their warm welcome, with their children, and their gorgeous wives. The three of them sighed wistfully, "Okay fine, let's ride a train but only half way at least!" Natsu suggested. Gray sucked his teeth in annoyance but he would take what he can, "Fine it's better than walking all the way, you'll be super close and possibly miss the birth of your kid, idiot" Natsu glared at him, but he was right he needed to get home as soon as he was able, not only because he missed them, but something kept bothering Natsu in the pit of his stomach; he can only hope that his mate, and children are well. "Hey fire breath hurry it up or we'll leave you behind!" Gray shouted with Ghageel next to him, a good meter away from Natsu.
"Wait for me you assholes!"

An amazing aroma of freshly cooked fish filled the Dragneel house, along with yummy side dishes; Lucy might be awful at baking, but cooking a good meal she sure knows how to do. Natsu could boast for days on how Lucky he was that his life mate was an awesome cook, he loved her baked foods too never has once complained. "It smells sooooooo goooood mommy!" Iggy grinned happily staring at the big yummy fish grilled to perfection. Lucy smiled prettily at her son, oh how she missed Natsu looking at Iggy was like looking right at him, miniature version. "I must say Lushi you have out done yourself!" Happy smiled patting her longtime partner and mother figure. "Well thanks guys! Cana hurry up at the table or these kiddos will devour everything!" Just as Lucy finished calling her, Cana popped from the living room door to the dining area in the house. "Wow I must say girl, being a wife and mother becomes of you!" she grinned at the celestial wizard. Lucy blushed, smiling wide "It's my life now more or less" she answered while serving up everyone a plate. "No matter what, you are still a princess at heart." Cana laughed. Lucy pouted, not that she was wrong at all; everyone enjoyed their dinner, while having a good time conversing about the day.
"I gotta say it is pretty weird not having Natsu's loud mouth around, you must be missing him a lot. Am I right?" Cana winked at a blushing Lucy; Iggy, Happy, and Joy were so stuffed they retired for the night. "Of course, I miss him, I always do. But I'm sure he's already on his way back most likely disappointed how quick he won the fight." Lucy smirked knowing her husband all too well, Cana grinned at her agreeing with her. "Any time now? I hope this little one waits until her dad gets here or we won't hear the end of his complaints for a while…" the celestial mage smiled at her friend, suddenly an odd chill ran up her spine. Suddenly the cold she felt was so unbearable she had to hug herself in order to keep as much heat as she could. Cana noticed how her guild mate sudden change on demeanor and rushed towards her. "Lucy? Hey Lucy!" but Lucy was unresponsive with a blank look in her eyes.
"I honestly didn't think it would be so easy to tress pass a dragon slayers nest." An unamused voice resounded around the house, "SHOW YOURSELF!" the magic card user screamed at top of her lungs; but the voice only laughed, a dark shadow creeped from under the front door and a man about as tall as Laxus came out of it. His skin pale as a ghost, eyes a pale blue, his clothes looking all ragged. "Cana what is going on?!" Happy woken up by Cana's shouting, together with Iggy and his daughter. Iggy looked for his mother quickly, he was her by his Aunty Cana's side; her skin which was a usual pretty rosy color was as white as a sheet of paper. "Mama!" Iggy tried to rush down the stairs, when he got close his immediate response was to hold on to her, he felt her warmth slowly dissipate out of his mother's body. An incredible amount of anger bubbled up inside the young dragon slayer, his whole body burned with flames while he glared at the stranger at their front door; this happened to awaken Lucy somehow, still feeling weak she reached out for her son. Over a short amount of time Iggy had learned how to control his magic enough not use his flames for burning, he learned from his father that as long as he was in control, he wouldn't be able to hurt his papa, mama, or even his soon to be brother; he held the hand that his mom was reaching out for him. Slowly Iggy turned a mean glare towards the intruder "Who are you, and what are you doing in our house?!" emerald green eyes burned into the pale blue pools of nothingness. "Impressive, such a young child and already an exponential amount of magic power! I must have it!" the creepy man laughed crazily.
Lucy responded to this immediately, whether it was this creeps' words or the heat of Iggy's flame but the celestial mage's eyes managed to shine their warm chocolate color "Happy get out of here, and take Iggy with you" Lucy breathed out through clutched teeth. Igneel Dragneel scrunched his face in defiance and annoyance, "I'm not leaving you alone!" he protested. "No buts Igneel Dragneel, you do what you're told. HAPPY!" the celestial mage insisted on getting the exceed to follow her words. Without hesitation she pulled Leo's golden key forward, "Are you crazy?! You can't use your magic in your condition!" Cana shouted at her. Before anyone could take another breath or even blink, the creepy stranger teleported right before Lucy holding firmly the hand that possessed the gold key. "Oh no no, this cannot do! I need you alive… well at least until you give birth that is!" he laughed crazy. "Get away!" Cana threw her magic cards; it was useless he had gotten out of the way grabbing Lucy with him. "It seems you are completely hopeless without the rest of your guild or the dragon slayer you all call Salamander" he smirked evilly. Shock spread around the faces of the mages and exceeds; he sure knows a whole lot about us Cana thought.
"Is that really what you think?" Lucy smirked under his hold. "I suggest you let go of my princess gently if you don't want me to ran you through with my regulus impact." Leo threatened from behind Lucy and the trespasser. Completely taken aback the stranger let go of Lucy mom1entarily, Leo grabbing her gently while still holding his other arm full of his light magic ready to let loose at any type of movement he would try to make. Instead, the crazy man just started laughing uncontrollably, "AMAZING! WONDERFUL! Without a question living up to your fame Lucy Heartfilia! Being able to call out your spirits without using any amount of summoning magic, very impressive. I must say taking you away will be the most thrilling experience of my existence."
"HAPPY!" Lucy screamed one last time, without hesitation Loke fired his Regulus impact; Happy quickly took hold of Iggy giving his daughter one hard nod to follow him, and all three sprinted out the closest window. "NO! Happy let me go! Mom! she's in danger!" the little dragon slayer kicked his legs in the air, fighting to get down, but Harpy's grip only tightened on his shirt. "Joy! Rush to Fairy tail and explain everything to the Master! Our family needs the guild! Fly as fast as you can!" Happy shouted with a serious tone that was so out of his character, but he couldn't cave and cry like he used too, he needed to get Iggy to safety, get help, and find Natsu. Joy hesitated, but fought against her fears, and flew at up speed towards the center of Magnolia. Happy started to fly the opposite direction as fast as he could, "Happy! Where are we going, we have to help them!" Igneel complained, "No we are off to get your dad, Gray, and Ghageel!" Iggy's eyes opened wide, then a smile crept on his face, Papa will kick that prick's ass.

"That train was hell!" Natsu complained as his teammates and himself were walking down the dirt path that would get them to Magnolia. "Shut up already, we been off the train for a while now, get over it!" Gray countered back at him. "If only you could feel how we feel, ice prick" Ghageel responded, in this case he had no other choice but to side with salamander. "I hope once Lucy gives birth Wendy is able to inject you losers with another dose of motion sickness medicine." Natsu and Ghageel nodded in agreement.
Looking up at the dark night sky all Natsu could think of was his Lucy; the stars did nothing but remind him of her. Smiling he reached inside his pocket, and pulled out an object from it; he held it up towards the sky letting the starts and moon light up the gleam on the gold key, Aquarius. Natsu smiled cheekily with happiness. Gray took notice of this and smiled at his rival/friend, "It wasn't a worthless trip after huh fire breath? Natsu looked at him and grinned, "That dark wizard was crap but I am glad such a weakling had this in his possession, Luce will be thrilled!" there was something that made him stop, his emerald eyes sharped as he stared far away intently; without a word his feet started taking speed, "Oi! Salamander do you-"
"I know! I smell them." He responded without sparing Ghageel a look, "Hey wait now what is going on." Gray asked. "I smell Happy, and Iggy approaching." Gray felt a chill down his spine at the dragon slayer's tone. "NATSUUUUUU, PAPAAAAA" you could hear Happy and Iggy shouting looking more visible the more they moved towards each other. In a matter of minutes they landed, Iggy running the rest of the way towards his father landing right on his chest; he choked on the tears he had been holding since leaving his home. Natsu's heart stopped, No… he gulped; he knew he had to keep it together, he needs to stay in control, he can't lose it here while he's holding him. He looked towards Happy with a sharp look "Happy."
"Lucy needs you, some creep got into the house while the kiddos and me were sleeping. Cana and Lucy were hanging out downstairs, and and…" he trailed off, his eyes watered down "She urged me to scape with Iggy, I had Joy look for Erza and the others at the guild!" he was out of breath trying to explain everything out once. "We don't have time to lose, Natsu fly with Happy; Ghageel and I will take Iggy with us and try to meet the rest of the guild on the way to your place!"
"That won't be necessary" Mest appeared out of nowhere. "Holy shit! Don't just drop out of nowhere without warning shit head!" Ghageel complaint. Natsu dropped Iggy softly on the ground. "Mest take me to Lucy" Mest who was looking at the ground nervously, took the courage to look at the dragon slayer on the eye. "We heard everything from Joy who desperately screamed for us to get to Lucy, without any second wasted, I made sure to transport Wendy, and Erza with me; We transported in the middle of Loke trying to keep the dark wizard away from Lucy, Cana backing him up as much as she could. But…" Mest stopped, Natsu bared his fangs strutting to where the mage was standing grabbing his collard shaking him senseless. "But what?" Natsu spoke through gritted teeth. Mest looked down sadly, in the heat of battle he managed to sneak up on us, and opened a portal taking Lucy and Wendy with him. Natsu gripped his collard tighter, "Take us." The teleportation mage nodded and in less than a second they were transported back to his home. His warm, beautiful home in shambles; he rushed towards the damage. Erza was standing in the middle of the destruction, trying to sense the magic of the intruder most likely; but Natsu had something better than that, his nose was picking up a disgusting smell that didn't belong. Sensing him behind her, Erza turned around giving him her sad, full of guilt stare. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to out smart this individual" she whispered, Natsu saw a small drop coming from her one real eye.
In a different occasion Natsu would of sympathize with her, but right now he felt like Hell was taking him. I shouldn't have left, I couldn't protect her, and oh God their unborn child. His eyes sharpen with a killing intent. "She's still alive, they are." He spoke while clutching his chest, I feel their lifelines in my blood, but I can feel Lucy's weakening. Urgh dammit all. "I have caught his scent, I'm off to find them. I'm going." Iggy ran towards his dad, "I want to help!" Natsu looked at him seriousness evident in his eyes "No. You will go back with Erza and Happy back to the guild and wait there for us." He finished "But-" Iggy began to protest. "I SAID NO AND THAT'S FINAL" I can't lose you too son… Igneel felt hurt, his dad rarely ever scolded him, none less scream at him; he ran outside the rubble with tears in his eyes. "We are coming too" Gray, Ghageel, and Mest stepped up. "We can't let him hurt our family, he will pay" Gray stated as his own eyes harden together with his threatening words. Natsu looked at Erza one last time, "Please take care of him." And with that he ran, with his other team mates behind him. Erza sighed sadly walking towards the little child crying, "They'll be back unhurt you'll see" she whispered to him softly as she picked him off the ground. Iggy held on tight to his aunt, "How are you so sure?" he whispered. "Because Natsu not only is strong, so is your mother. And he has promised to bring her back safely, Natsu doesn't break his promises." Happy finished for Erza. Please come back safely dad, mom, and baby. He prayed as he silently fell asleep, hoping this was nothing but a dream and will get to see his mom and dad wake him up with their happy smiles.

Drip, drop, drip, drop. Lucy heard drops of water falling from somewhere. What is that sound? Its bothering me… and that damp smell. Having a surge of memories of what happened, her eyes opened wide. She scanned real quick her surroundings; she can make up she was in a dungeon. "Lucy-san you are awake thank goodness!" she suddenly felt small hands encasing her own, she felt so cold. "Wendy? Where are we? What happened?" Lucy tried sitting up, but she felt a sharp pain at her center, she took a shaky breath. Without further questions, Wendy went into action glowing he healing magic over her growing belly, she's so close we need to get out of here and fast! Sweat ran down the young wind dragon slayer. "The baby is doing good, thank goodness… but you are close Lucy-san we have to get out of here!" Lucy's eyes widen, not here God no I'm not sure what this creep want with me, or this baby. "I'm sure Mest found Natsu-san and the others by now. I'm sure they are on their way." Natsu… Lucy thought, thinking of him alone made her regain her strength.
Wendy stood up all of a sudden, standing defensively in front of the celestial mage. The creepy guy materialized out of the wall. " I can see you are finally awake! Marvelous, I have a BETTER room all set up for you my darling!" he started to walk towards Lucy, "Stay where you are! Who are you and What do you want with Lucy-san?!" Wendy asked sharply, such an innocent girl, who used to hate fighting has turn into a beautiful, strong dragon slayer and enchantress. "My apologies, I guess I forgot to introduce myself. I go by the name of Claude, I belonged in one of the dark guilds that praise the all mighty dark wizard Zeref!" he walked slowly ignoring the young lady, with a pulse of his energy send her flying to the wall pinning her there. "Let Wendy go!" Lucy panted in pain, Wendy is right, please baby hold on a bit longer… daddy is on his way. Claude smiled evilly, grasping Lucy's chin with his cold fingers. "The rumors of your beauty are not compared to the real thing Lucy Heartfilia…" his breath touched Lucy, she tried to back off in disgust. "It's Dragneel now you disgusting pervert. Just you wait when my husband hears of this-" Claude laughed so hard and evil interrupting Lucy, " So he is I have no doubt, will he get here on time I wonder." He smirked. Lucy glared at him, he's lucky I'm carrying a baby if not I would of kicked his ass to the celestial world and have the King punish him! "You sure are unique Lucy, but more than yourself is the child you carry inside.." Lucy's eyes widen, she remember what Virgo told her not so long ago; her fears have turned into truth. Dragon slayers such a rare magic to encounter, she can't count the times her husband and guild members have been chased because of their magic. Celestial magic was just as rare, someone with all the gold keys even more so and Lucy had most of them; and right inside her womb a baby that possess both magic in equal form is being chased after before even making it into this world.
"You can't have me or my child!" Lucy growled, "Ara ara, calm down remember that can't be good for the baby!" Claude shook his head in disapproval. "You have no say in the matter, I shall drain you and that child out of powers, and like that soon I'll be even more powerful than Zeref himself!" he cackled. With a click of his fingers, he transported Lucy, and himself into another location, a room above the dungeon. "I'll let your dragon slayer friend live longer, for I know she can help deliver this child without any complications." She grinned manically.
Please hurry Natsu, Lucy whispered.
