On with the story

At school, a few hours later. Natsu and the others were gathered around in the Kenjutsu Clubroom as the clubroom was closed and enchanted with Natsu's magic that creates a soundproof barrier.

In this moment, all the girls were looking in shock

"P-P-Pregnant?!" Lucy and the others exclaimed in pure shock as they look at Natsu who nodded "R-really?!"

"she is, so stop yelling" Natsu said while scratching his ears "my ears are already sensitive enough"

"but how!?" Lucy said as she didn't know of the kinky times Éclair and the other girls have been doing since their first year with Natsu.

"questions later" Natsu said as he carries his school bag as well as Éclair's "right now, there are far more important matters"

"as in?" Cana asked while raising an eyebrow as Natsu was heading out

"taking care of Éclair's health and the child within her" Natsu replied before gets out of the clubroom


Éclair is resting in the clinic before she slowly wakes up and sees the clinic's ceiling

"where.." she muttered out as she slowly sat up on the bed before holding her head

"lay down" the nurse walks towards Éclair as she gently placed her hands on her shoulders "your body needs a lot of rest now that you're pregnant"

"wait, what?" Éclair said as she looks at the Nurse with a bewildered look

"you heard me right" the nurse said "you're pregnant"

Éclair's eyes widen a bit before the door to the clinic was slide open and Natsu came in

"I'll leave you two be" the nurse said as she walked away while patting Natsu's shoulders once and then got out of the clinic

The door closed as Natsu sighs a bit before he went and sat beside Éclair's bed

"so….how are you feeling?" Natsu asked as he scratches his back head a bit

"fine, but I'm just feeling surprised," Éclair said while caressing her stomach "being told that I'm pregnant….is a lot to take in"

Natsu sighs as he rubs his face and massages the bridge of his nose

"this is all my fault" Natsu said "I should've been more…responsible or even be more clever in thinking these things through…."

"it's not your fault, Natsu. its my fault" Éclair said "I'm the one who wanted to be with you. I'm just the stupidly in love girl who didn't think ahead of things"

The two stayed quiet as they didn't speak

Natsu rubs his back neck a few times before he looks at Éclair who looks down at her lap

"live with me" Natsu said as Éclair looks at him "come and live at my house. I want us to be together"

Natsu reaches his right hand out as he firmly holds Éclair's hands

"I know that your old home means a lot to you, and I know just how you are attached to it," Natsu said holding her hands before looking at her "but I want us to be together. for us and for our child within you"

Natsu holds her hands with both of his as he caressed them gently

"what do you say, Éclair?" Natsu asked while caressing the ring that Éclair wore on her left hand's ring finger "will you be with me? truly be with me?"

Éclair looks at Natsu as she smiled and nodded

Natsu smiled back before he leans close and places a kiss on her forehead before giving her another kiss on the lips as it was a loving deep kiss

The two leans their foreheads together as they close their eyes to remember the moment forever


Noon at Natsu's house

Natsu was currently sitting by his bed as Éclair was sleeping peacefully

"well, well, looks like I was right" Demonic Natsu said appearing on Natsu's right shoulder while on his left was White Natsu "I heard that someone's first girlfriend, is pregnant"

"shut up" Natsu said as he holds Éclair's hand and caressed it gently "just….shut up"

"talk about moody" Demonic Natsu said as he jumps and floats around

"becoming the father to an adopted child, and then a real father to a real child who has your and her blood combined" White Natsu said looking at Éclair "this might attract a lot of attention to him"

"I know" Natsu said as he caressed Éclair's cheeks before gently tracing his finger along with her long hair "I am not letting him get any closer to her nor to our child within her"

"but it's strange" Demonic Natsu in a nonchalant voice "I thought your magic circle prevents her from getting pregnant"

"it was supposed to" Natsu said as he reaches a hand down to Éclair's stomach and gently caresses it "it just didn't last very long"

"well then, you might have a handful of pregnant women coming soon" White Natsu said

"no, I will just enhance the spell to their body" Natsu said as he caressed her stomach, letting out a warm aura around it "but I can't do the same to her"

"oh yeah, your spell only prevents the pregnancy before the child could form" Demon Natsu said before chuckling "guess someone can't stop themselves without noticing it"

"buzz off" Natsu said as his eyes glowed red and the two spirits disappeared

Natsu continued to caress Éclair's cheeks and head before he placed a kiss on her forehead

"whatever will come in the future" Natsu whispered as he caresses Éclair's cheeks "I will make sure…I will protect you and our child within you"

Natsu place a gentle kiss on her lips before caressing her head a few times

"that's a promise" Natsu whispered as he sat back and continued to watch over Éclair


Two days later at the afternoon

A mover's truck came driving in front of Natsu's home as the back door opened and movers started unloading the boxes. Natsu watched as they move the boxes into his house, all the boxes had Éclair's belongings within them.

"thanks" Natsu said as he paid the movers before shaking their hands in gratitude. Natsu was now left with 10-12 boxes as Éclair had more clothes than daily necessities "well then"

Natsu cracked his neck and rolled up his sleeves

"let's get this over with" Natsu said as he started carrying the boxes away to the second floor and to his room where it had been renovated a bit


Natsu carried up the boxes to the room where they started to take out all of their content

Natsu had renovated one thing in the room as he bought a bigger cupboard, knowing that Éclair has more clothes than any other

He started to take out the clothes first as he started filling up Éclair's side of the cupboards one by one, filling it with clothes

"do you need any help?" Éclair asked while on the bed with Meredy on her lap, the child licking a lollipop in hand

"no need" Natsu said as he worked fast on emptying the boxes and were now unboxing the ones that had picture frames or other sorts of Éclair's other belongings "you just sit there with Meredy, I don't want you to lift a finger"

Éclair sighs with a smile as Natsu was acting like a henpecked husband or a butler to her. Natsu emptied all of the boxes as he decorated the room with some of Éclair's belongings.

"where do you want these to go?" Natsu asked holding two picture frames as it had a photo of him and Éclair on their first date, the other had a photo of her and her parents when she was young

"maybe…" Éclair said as she looked around before pointing to the small table near the tv "there"

Natsu did as she told, he placed the picture frames by the table as he positioned them perfectly so that they would face together

2 hours later, Éclair was in the living room with Meredy as she reads her a storybook while Natsu was doing the chores, well his copies are

The real Natsu was at the moment in the kitchen cooking as he is making a meal for Éclair while reading a book about women Pregnancy

"high protein, and high nutritious meals for an entire month, helps the child grows within," Natsu said reading the book's content while stirring a vegetable and chicken stew "avoid raw meat, or any beverages containing alcohol, soda, or tons of the other sort as it can cause some bad growth and healthy development for the mother and child..i see"

Natsu continues stirring the stew before he hears the doorbell ring

A copy of him appeared as his copy went to answer the door while he stayed to continue cooking

Natsu reads the book as he flipped a page and reads how it explains the things a pregnant woman should avoid.

"be sure to avoid being near any cat's feces as the toxoplasmosis in them can cause a pregnant woman to have a miscarriage or stillbirth" Natsu reads out before he blinked his eyes twice.

A few seconds later, Natsu takes out Happy's litter box as he sprayed disinfectant spray around it before going back inside.

The man was making sure at all cost that Éclair will have a safe and secure childbirth for the coming time. He went back to the kitchen while in the living room were Lucy, Cana, Mira, Kagura, Erza, Ultear, and Minerva who had come to visit.

Natsu stirs the stew in the pot before he grabs a bowl and started pouring some stew into it


Lucy and the others gathered around by the couch as they huddled a bit close to Éclair who was given the bowl of stew by Natsu

"how does it taste?" Natsu asked as Éclair took a bite of the chicken in the stew and chewed a bit before swallowing "is it too hot? Or is the flavor too strong?"

"it's warm" Éclair replied with a bite as she took another bite and chewed it with a happy smile before swallowing it "and it's delicious"

"alright" Natsu said smiling "just tell me if you started to have cravings, or aches, or anything"

Éclair nodded before Natsu went off to do other things in the house

"wow, he's taking this parenting thing to the next level" Cana said while holding her usual bottle of beer in hand

"not surprising when he's going to be a father to a child who has his and Éclair's blood inherited" Erza stated before Ultear coughed a bit while having Meredy on her lap "not that I'm forgetting that Meredy is also his child" Erza added in with an awkward smile

"so how does it feel to have a child growing within you?" Minerva asked, curious about one of the many miracles of life that were within Éclair

"it's quite hard to describe it" Éclair said while eating her stew "the feeling is like happiness mixed with fear and nervousness. It's very hard to describe but what I do know is that there's joy in being pregnant with a child growing within you"

"that's exactly how a future mother should feel" Lucy said with a smile

"and I thought Ultear was the only one feeling motherly these days" Mira said leaning back against the couch while having a smile

"very funny, Mira" Ultear said while combing Meredy's hair, grooming the child

The girls chatted around while Natsu was doing chores after chores with his copies yet they unknowing were being watched from afar by a large figure holding binoculars.


That's a wrap!

Bye bye
