Chapter 22

-A Week Later-

"I can't believe that it's almost been two weeks since we came here." Lucy said.

"I know, I wish we had more time."

"I do too, but it will be nice to get back and see every one. How soon would you be able to tell if I am pregnant or not?"

"I will be able to tell within a week. A couple days to a week after we are back, I'll know if you are pregnant."

"I hope I am. I'm ready to have a family with you." He smiled and kissed her. They relaxed outside, reading and spending time swimming. For dinner they made chicken, baked potatoes and corn on the cob all cooked on the grill. Once dinner was over they cleaned everything up and went inside to watch tv. They couldn't find anything on tv, Laxus decided that he would take her upstairs to keep working on getting her pregnant.

-Two Weeks Later-

They were finally back, and hanging out at the guild with the Thunder Legion. The guild was having a party to celebrate their mating. Lucy was feeling extra tired, but she thought it was due to not getting much sleep the last couple days. They all ordered lunch, and when Lucy smelt the club sandwich Laxus got, she quickly ran to the bathroom with her hand over her mouth. Laxus's eyes widen and he quickly got up to follow after her, he could hear her getting sick and went in not caring that it was the woman's restroom.

"Baby, are you okay?"

"I think so, for some reason the smell of your food made me real nauseous."

"I'm going to get Wendy to check you out. I'll be right back." He left before she could answer. She stayed kneeling by the toilet until Laxus came back in with Wendy.

"Lucy, do you think you can come out here, so I can examine you?" Wendy asked. Lucy flushed the toilet and slowly walked out of the bathroom stall. Laxus walked up and stood next to her while Wendy started using her magic to check Lucy's stomach.

"You will be okay Lucy." Wendy said smiling. "But it does look like lunch meat will be off your diet for the next nine months!" Lucy and Laxus both froze with what Wendy said.

"Wendy are you saying I'm pregnant?" Wendy just nodded smiling, Laxus got the biggest grin on his face and hugged Lucy. He buried his nose in her hair and took a big sniff of her scent, sure enough he could smell both their scents and a scent different than theirs.

"Let's go tell Gramps before we tell the rest of the guild." Lucy smiled and nodded. They all left, Wendy went back downstairs, and they walked to Makarov's office. Laxus knocked and waited to get the okay to enter.

"Laxus, my boy, what can I do for you?"

"Lucy and I have something to tell you."

"Is everything alright?"

"Yeah Gramps, everything is great. You are going to be a great grandparent." Laxus said with a smirk. Makarov's eyes widened before he started to smile.

"This is amazing news! I'm going to be a great grandparent! What beautiful grandchildren they will be too with Lucy as your mate." Lucy just smiled and blushed at Makarov. They told him how they just found out a few minutes ago, and wanted to let him know before telling everyone else. Makarov said he would call Porlyusica to help Wendy with check ups through out the pregnancy. They left so he could call her, and they wanted to let everyone else know.

When they arrived back at their table, the rest of the Thunder Legion was asking if she was okay. Laxus quickly took his sandwich back down to Mira, and ordered something different. When he came back up, he sat next to Lucy and pulled her into his lap.

"I'm okay guys. Sorry to worry you, but we do have something to let you know. I'm pregnant!" After a couple seconds of silence, Evergreen squealed.

"I'm going to be an aunt!"

"Congrats Boss Man and Cosplayer!" He said with his signature grin.

"Congrats to you both. Let me know if there is anything you guys need." Lucy smiled at them, thanking them. Laxus just smirked, happy that he was starting a family with the woman he loved. Everyone else in the guild was trying to figure out what was going on at their table when Evergreen had squealed. Laxus stood up and walked to the railing with Lucy.

"Listen up everyone! I have an announcement." When he had everyone's attention, he said, "Lucy is pregnant." Everyone started to cheer and congratulate them.

"Yeah, I'm gonna be an uncle!" Natsu yelled. Lucy giggled and shook her head at her best friend. Mira was squealing and passed out with hearts in her eyes. Laxus guided Lucy back to her seat so she could eat her lunch, he wanted to make sure she ate, now that she was eating for two. Once she finished he asked if she wanted anything else, she told him a strawberry shake. He quickly got up and went to get her the shake. Erik and Gajeel came up to give their kin a hug, and wanted to get a scent of the baby.

After a couple hours Lucy started feeling a little tired, so she excused herself to Laxus's office to lay down on the couch. Laxus was already in there working on some paperwork.

"You okay baby?"

"Yeah, I'm feeling a little tired, so I thought I would lay in here while you worked on your paperwork." She smiled. He smiled and nodded, once he made sure she was comfortable he went back to work on the paperwork. "Hey Laxus, can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"What would you think if we made Erik the godfather and Mira the godmother to our baby?"

"I think they would be great. I'm glad you didn't say Natsu, he is too dense to understand." Lucy could only laugh. She said that she wanted to be the one to tell them later, he nodded. She snuggled down on the couch and closed her eyes. Laxus woke her up when it was time for dinner. They ordered something at the guild, and sat at the bar while eating.

"Hey Mira, come here for a minute please." Lucy said.

"Hey Lucy, do you need anything?"

"Laxus and I talked, we want you to be the godmother!" Lucy said with a smile.

"Really? You want me to be the godmother?" She squealed and ran around the counter to give Lucy a hug. Lucy hugged her back and smiled. After she finished dinner, she went to talk to Eric where he was sitting in the corner.

"Hey Bright Eyes, how are you doing?"

"Doing good. I have something I want to tell you."

"Okay, what is it?"

"We want you to be the godfather to our baby." Lucy said. She watched him stare at her wide eyed, she started to get worried that he wouldn't want too. After a minute he smirked.

"Of course I'll be the godfather. The baby is my niece or nephew after all." Lucy smiled, and talked with Eric until Laxus came and got her. They walked home in a comfortable silence. Lucy kept smiling and rubbing her stomach, Laxus smiled as he watched her and laid his hand over hers.

They both went upstairs to change into pajamas when they got home. Once changed they went downstairs to watch tv, and Lucy went into the kitchen to find a snack. She sat next to Laxus with a bowl of strawberries covered in chocolate. Laxus just smiled at her as she ate chocolate covered strawberries. He was looking forward to going out and getting her whatever she wanted to eat if they didn't have it at the house. He was going to be there with her every step of the way.

When she finished eating the strawberries she set the bowl down on the coffee table, and leaned against Laxus, who wrapped his arm around her and pulled her onto his lap. They cuddled and watched tv, content just to be together. He rested his hand on her stomach. He couldn't wait until she got bigger and he could feel the baby moving.

"Are you happy Laxus?"

"I'm very happy Blondie, I have my beautiful mate, who is pregnant with my kid. You've made me the happiest guy on Earthland."

She turned and looked up at him smiling. "You've made me very happy too! I am excited about becoming parents. Truthfully I never thought I would have this. After my mom died I was alone, except for the staff that kept me company some times. Then when my dad said he had found someone for me to marry and it was only to help his business, I ran away. Shortly after I joined Fairy Tail. I was happy again, I found a new family but at the same time something was still missing. You filled the last of the void in my heart and made me whole again, and now we have a child to look forward too. You've made me the happiest girl on Earthland."

They were content to just cuddle and watch tv, in a comfortable silence. After the movie on tv was over, Laxus looked down and seen that she had fallen asleep. He turned the tv off, picked her up and took her to bed. Once he had her in bed and covered he slide in next to her pulling her back against his chest. He had a smile on his face as he fell asleep, holding his mate with his hand laying over her stomach.
