Bear with me please! I have no clue what pregnancy is like since I've no children yet.
Thank you for all the love guys!
To SexyLaxus: I can't see him not having a girl either lol. If anything twins (boy and girl) but I always picture a girl when I think about him becoming a daddy.
Blurry eyes cracked up, a small groan leaving her lips as she shifted in bed, trying to get comfortable, turning around in her husbands thick arms.
The rustling of the blankets told her she had managed to wake her husband in the process. Laxus pulled her flush against his chest, burring his nose into her neck to nuzzle at her, placing small butterfly kisses along the slope of her neck as he did so, purring softly.
Lucy let herself relax in his hold, her back vibrating with his purrs, sighing softly as she tried to ignore her discomfort in favor of focusing on her loving mate.
"What's the matter?" Laxus' sleep roughened voice broke the silence.
"I can't sleep. I'm so uncomfortable, Laxus!" She whimpered, turning once more in his arms to face him, back to the original position she had woken up in. "She's four days pass her due date and my skin feels too tight, my back hurts, my ankles hurt, and I just feel so anxious. I want her out already!"
Laxus hummed, thick fingers dancing over her back, hitting the tender spots he knew bothered her. Their daughter was late, nearing a week pass her due date, and both parents to be were anxious to finally meet her. They had tried everything they could to induce labor, from hot foods all the way down to fantastic sex with his pregnant little mate. Nothing they did seem to work, and Lucy was at her wits end.
"Relax, Baby." He said, working his finger on a particular spot that caused her to groan out. "I know you're stressed out, but she'll be here soon. We can try walking Magnolia park again and have Mira make some fire chicken for you in the morning."
"Can we have that walk now?" Lucy asked wincing, rubbing at her stomach as she squirmed.
Seeing the way she winced and moved around, uncomfortable in her own skin, made the decision to forgo sleep easier for him.
Laxus stood up, pulling Lucy with him, before walking over to their dresser and pulling out clothing for them both. Pulling on a pair of pants and a T-shirt, before putting on his shoes, Laxus made his way back to her, slipping her silk nightdress off to replace it with a maternity dress and helping her in to a cardigan. Since it was summer, the night time air was fine enough to go out in less but he would rather she not get a cold by some miracle. Bending down he helped her in to a pair of comfortable sandals, adjusting the straps to wrap loosely on her swollen ankles as she placed her hands on his broad shoulders for balance.
Going back to the dresser he grabbed her brush, knowing Lucy wouldn't want to go outside with her hair messed up from sleeping. She practically purred once he began running the brush through her silky locks. Hair fixed up and looking presentable, they left the house.
Laxus slowly guided her through the streets of Magnolia, her arm tucked into his elbow, leaning against him while her other hand rested on her swollen belly. It wasn't long before the reached the park, setting along the stone path make for joggers and biking.
"I'm sorry." Lucy whispered, drawing Laxus's attention away from the path and down to her.
"Sorry? What for?" He asked with a raised brown, confusion filing his stormy eyes.
"For making you take me to the park so late. I know all the paperwork Master has given you stresses-"
"Stop." Laxus cut her off, stopping in the middle of the path as it reached the water. Turning to her he raised her downturned head up to have her eyes meet his, face serious as he regarded his sad wife. "You have nothing to apologize for, Lucy. I'm not going to let my pregnant wife, my mate, walk alone at this time of night. Besides," he said, his trademark smirk making its appearance as he pulled her close by the waist. "How can I deny my beautiful little mate anything? Especially when you're carrying our little dragon in that belly of yours?" He asked rubbing his nose against her own.
A pretty little blush worked it's way across her cheeks, eyes closed in happiness as she returned the affection with vigor, loving the way he dotted on her.
"I love you."
"I love you too." He said before pulling away. "Now, come on, get to walking."
They continued on in silence, enjoying each other's company, listening to the sounds of the crickets and Katydid's. Throughout the whole walk, Lucy winced and groaned, waving away his concerned looks and questions. Nearly three quarters of the way done with the park, Lucy suddenly stopped, her grip on both his arm and her stomach tightening.
Laxus immediately focused on her, worried at the look on her face. "Baby? Are you-"
The sound of liquid hitting the stone path interrupted him, both of their eyes widening in realization.
