Chapter 1
Two months later.
"Lucy, do you want help to get ready?" asked Erza and Levy who had come over to hang with Lucy. "Sure" she said happily as the girls started going through her closets. "Damn Lu, do you have enough outfits in here" said Levy as she kept sliding outfits over. "Yeahhh, that's thanks to Natsu, he buys me an outfit each time I have a show" she said amused as she watched them go through her closet. "So do you even know where he is taking you?" asked Erza. "Nope I have no clue, I just know he said nothing too fancy" "It's nice. I'm glad he is doing this for you Lucy" Erza said with a slight smile. "Me too, after everything with Zeref..well" "Hey!" Levy scolded turning holding a finger in front of her. "No mention of him tonight. Natsu want's to make you happy so let him" "I absolutely agree" said Erza as Lucy held her hands up "Okay ,okay, I'm sorry" she said lightly as Erza pulled out a glittery blue cold shoulder top. "How about this?" "I love it" said Lucy as she took it from Erza and grabbed a jean blue skirt from her drawer. "Alright Lucy, sit down so I can do your makeup" said Levy. "Levy, you know I can do it" said Lucy. "Oh hush and just let me do it" She sat down in front of her mirror when she got a saddened look on her face. "Lucy?, what's wrong?" asked Erza concerned. "Oh it's nothing..just have to face people seeing my scars..I haven't faced the public in over two months without covering them up" Erza came and knelt down next to her looking at Lucy with compassion in her eyes.
"Lucy, Natsu didn't ask to take you out to make you sad, he wants to make you happy" "I know" she said. Putting a hand on Lucy's knee, Erza said "you'll be alright. Just go out and enjoy yourselves. You know if anyone gives you crap, then Natsu will kick their asses" That brought a smile to her face as Lucy thought about that and giggled as Levy said "there's a smile. Now come on, wipe that sad face off. This is going to be a wonderful night." "Your right" said Lucy cheerfully as she sat so Levy could apply makeup. "Just think about it, your husband is taking you out , to fully yourself and you don't have to worry about Layla since Gajeel and I are taking her. It will give us good practice anyway" "Oh how is your little one coming along?" asked Lucy as she patted Levy's stomach. Levy blushed as she said " they are going. Still can't feel much but I know he or she is in there" "I can't wait to meet him or her." Said Lucy excited. "Me either" said Erza. "Of course, this little one is going to need her aunties" said Levy as they all smiled. "Hey, you ladies almost done up there?" Natsu said up the stairs. "Almost" they all replied.
"Lucy, your gorgeous as you are, you don't have to go crazy" "Just be patient Natsu, your wife is almost ready" said Erza as Natsu chuckled. "She's beautiful already, nothing will ever change that. Scars or not" he thought to himself as he went back to sit on the couch with Layla. "Is mommy ready yet daddy?" she asked. "Nahh, not yet Layla" he replied "I bet she's going to look so pretty!" said Layla joyfully. "What, you don't think mommy's pretty already?" he said lightly. "No daddy. She's just gonna be extra pretty!" she yelled standing on the couch with her arms as Natsu laughed pulling her back down. " Be careful you goof. Don't need you falling off the couch" "I know daddy" "Oh Natsu!" he heard from above the stairs as they both jumped off the couch and went to the stairs as they watched Lucy come down the stairs. Natsu felt his heart would burst as he looked at the beautiful woman he married. Her hair was curled to her shoulders. Her makeup was very light as her eyes tinted with light blue eyeshadow and mascara with a light lip gloss. "You look amazing mommy!" exclaimed Layla.
"Thanks baby" she said softly as she looked at Natsu whose face was stuck looking her. Giggling Levy said "wipe your lip there Romeo" Lucy laughed softly as she put a hand to his cheek as he quickly snapped out of staring at her and wiped the drool coming out of his mouth. "Ssorry, I got stuck looking at a angel" he said smoothly. Blushing, she said "stop Natsu, I'm no an angel" "No your right, your not an angel, you're a star and your shining bright" he said with a smile. "Natsu" "Alright guys, get on here out of here" said Levy. "Uhh, aren't you going first? . Your taking Layla to your house remember?" said Natsu. "Right, well then come on!, get your butts moving. You two deserve this" Levy insisted practically pushing them out the door as Lucy put her little black heels. Natsu wore a set of black pants with black shoes with a nice red long-sleeved shirt with his trench coat. "You two have a great night tonight" said Erza as Lucy and Natsu walked to his car. "Have fun Lu!" she yelled happily as she raised an eyebrow "your in for a surprise tonight Natsu when you get back" she thought referring to a conversation Lucy had with her earlier. Erza gave her a puzzled look as Levy whispered into her ear making her face go red as she looked at Levy wide eyed. Levy nodded her head excited as she turned back to the couple and yelled "have a fantastic night Lucy!" making her laugh. "I love you mommy and daddy!" Layla yelled waving to them as they waved back. "Love you too baby girl" they replied as they got in the car. "Wow so they sure are excited for you tonight" said Natsu. Lucy smirked for he had no idea what she had planned for after their night out. "Alright, let's get going" he said as he started the car up and off, they went.
