On with the story
2 months after the incident with Everlue, things around in Magnolia been peaceful. Peaceful-er that is. We turn our attention to a clinic where Natsu and Éclair were in the doctor's room as they were getting an ultrasound scan on their baby.
Natsu holds Éclair's hand while the doctor looks at the screen while holding the ultrasound tool on Éclair's exposed pregnant stomach, she sees the baby inside as it is forming well and growing healthy.
"your child is growing fast and is very healthy" said the doctor with a smile while looking at the screen before to Natsu and Éclair. "I can tell that your baby will be a very healthy one"
"that's great news, doctor" said Éclair with a smile before Natsu pecks her forehead and then her hand.
"can we know the gender now, doctor?" asked Natsu, curious on whether he get a son or a daughter in the future.
"looking at the scans, I would say…." Said the doctor looking at the scans with keen eye before back to the two. "both of you will be expecting a boy"
"a boy" said Éclair with a smile as she started imagining her child in her mind before looking at Natsu who smiled to her.
Natsu and Éclair exited the clinic together as both started heading down the streets together after getting the ultrasound check. Éclair hugs Natsu's left arm while leaning her head against his shoulder, the man smiles and has a happy face because of knowing that he will be a father to a healthy baby boy in the future.
"do you want to go to the mall?" asked Natsu to Éclair "I want to celebrate this special occasion, but I only thought of the mall. Do you have anywhere that you want to go to?"
"no" replied Éclair while shaking her head and smiled to him. "I just want to spend the rest of the day with my husband and our child together at our home"
Natsu smiled before he pecks Éclair's forehead and the two heads off home.
Natsu and Éclair were walking down the street when they encountered Cosmos who was in the middle of watering the flowers at the front of her family's flower shop.
"ah, it's you two" said Cosmos, greeting the two.
"Cosmos" said Natsu as he did a nod greeting while Éclair smiled.
"been a while" said Cosmos before looking at Éclair's pregnant stomach and smiled. "I'm guessing that your baby is growing up healthy inside?"
"yes, thank you" said Éclair with a smile while caressing her pregnant stomach.
"ah, wait just a minute" said Cosmos as she went inside her flower shop and came out a minute later with a beautiful flower bouquet. "here you go. to congratulate your coming baby"
"thank you, Cosmos" said Éclair as she received the flower with a smile.
"will your baby be expecting at the end of the year?" asked Cosmos, curious when will Éclair's baby be born.
"by the end of November, the doctor said" replied Éclair. "and my baby is a boy"
"congratulations" said Cosmos with a smile "I pray that your baby boy will be as strong as healthy as his father"
"thanks for that" said Natsu with a small smile.
After chatting with Cosmos for a while, the two heads back home.
At Natsu's home, the man is laid down on his couch with Éclair resting by his side while snuggling close to his warm body. Natsu holds her close with his right hand while his left hand is behind his head, acting as a pillow.
Natsu yawned before he glanced bellow as he sees Meredy trying to get up on the couch while holding his old dragon doll with her. In act, Natsu reaches down his left hand and carried Meredy up to the couch.
Meredy giggles with a smile as she laid down on her adopted father's left side while hugging her doll in her arms. Natsu caresses her head with his left hand before he slowly closes his eyes, going to take a nap to get some rest. His mind going dark as he is pulled into the dreamland.
Minutes later the small family fell asleep together on the couch, Happy soon joined in as the blue cat rested on the couch, above Natsu's head
The small family sleeps together so happy and peacefully with each other before a shadow looms over and two glowing red eyes appeared.
A few hours later at the bathroom. Natsu with Éclair were in the bathtub together as they were just relaxing inside. Natsu's hands were in the water as they caress Éclair's pregnant stomach before he checked a floating thermometer near him as the water's temperature is 80 F which is the right temperature for a pregnant woman to take a long bath in.
"Natsu, you're worrying too much" said Éclair as Natsu always made sure that anything she do, he do it for her or anything that she goes through, he makes sure that it is safe for her. "I know how to take care of myself and our baby"
"I know" sad Natsu before he gives a peck to her neck and smiled. "I just want to make sure that both of you are fine and well."
Éclair smiled in response before she leans close to Natsu's chest while the man circles his arms around her stomach, gently holding it close to him.
"now that I think about it" said Éclair before glancing at Natsu. "next week, there is going to be a festival for the new student batch, right?"
"yeah, I think you might have to sit this one out" said Natsu, seeing how Éclair is pregnant and she can't perform for her club nor help around during the festival. "just sit back and relax, I'll stay with you if you need to go somewhere"
Éclair nodded before she looks away and smiled to the point that she started giggling a bit.
"something funny?" asked Natsu to her
"no, not really." Replied Éclair "I just thought of how i might be the world luckiest woman to have the world's most caring husband"
Éclair smiled to Natsu with her eyes closed before she got a peck to the forehead by Natsu who smiled as well.
"and I'm might be the happiest man to have the beautiful woman of the world who is carrying our baby" stated Natsu, the man happy to have Éclair in his life. Éclair blushes a bit before the two leans close to each other and got into a kiss. their kiss lasted for 2 minutes before they separate and look into each other's eyes.
"hey…..Natsu" whispered Éclair with her cheeks flushed and her eyes softening. "it's been a while…and I asked the doctor that it is safe for me and our baby…"
Natsu smiled to her as he pecks her forehead and leans close to her neck, giving delicate feather kisses.
"just tell me if you are tired, alright?" said Natsu as his form slowly turned demonic. "you know how I can't control myself when we go through it"
"alright" said Éclair before the two got into another kiss which is deep and passionate.
The full moon rises in the night sky as the stars accompanied the glowing large sphere in space. Natsu and Éclair were in their bedroom, both naked as they had a quick intercourse with another.
Éclair is fast asleep in Natsu's arms as being pregnant can take a lot of toll on her body and that means a need for a lot of rest.
Natsu caresses her back gently with his black demonic claws before he caresses her shoulders and down to her waist where he started caressing her pregnant stomach. Natsu's demonic hand slowly glowed red as it radiated a gentle warmth that made Éclair smile in her sleep, feeling such a radiant warmth accompanying her sleep and for her baby inside.
Éclair rested comfortably as Natsu watched over her in her sleep. Natsu smiles to his wife before he looks at her belly as he uses his magic to sense his child within her.
Natsu could see a visual image of his child inside as he was still growing to the point that a tiny heartbeat is heard.
"I can hear your heart, my son" thought Natsu with a smile as his black demonic claw gently rubs Éclair's pregnant stomach "I'll protect you and your mother with the cost of my own life"
Natsu laid down as he continued to watch over Éclair and their baby, just going to protect them for the cost of his own life.
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
