Natsu and Gray parked outside of Juvia's house. They got out, and went to the front door. Gray rang the doorbell. Juvia opened the door.
"Hey, Gray. Hey, Natsu. Come on in." Juvia let them inside and closed the door. She laced her fingers with Gray, and took them to the frontroom. Lucy was sitting on the couch.
"Hey Luce." Natsu sat down next to her a gave her a kiss.
"Hey, Natsu. Hey, Gray." Lucy said.
"Hey, Lucy. So.. Why did you call us here?" Gray asked, sitting next to Juvia, their fingers still intertwined.
"Remember how I said I wanted to go to the doctor? To check out the stomach pains I was having?" She looked at the two boys. They both nodded their heads.
"Well, It's not stomach pains... It's something else."
"Is it a tumor?" Natsu exclaimed.
"Shut up! It's not a damn tumor... It's not a tumor, right?" Gray said, becoming a bit worried.
Lucy laughed. "No. It's not a tumor. It's not cancer. It's not a disease."
"Then what is it?" Natsu asked, his eyes becoming wide.
"... I'm pregnant."
Silence had filled the room. Natsu and Gray were frozen. They couldn't speak.
"What?" Natsu asked, with no emotion in his voice.
"I'm pregnant."
Natsu looked at Lucy. "You're... pregnant?"
Lucy nodded her head.
"And the baby is... mine?"
Lucy bit her lip, and nodded her head again.
Natsu couldn't believe it. He didn't believe it.
'Lucy... Pregnant? But we always used protection. We're in high school. We can't take care of a child.'
"Natsu, I know this is a lot to take in. It was hard to believe for me and Juvia too." Lucy said, glancing at Juvia, who was waving her hand in front of Gray's face, but had no response.
"Lucy. How..." Natsu started.
"You forgot to put on a condom..." Lucy said, biting her lip for the third time that day.
"When..." Natsu stared into space for a few seconds. Then, he closed his eyes.
"Crap. 3 days ago. I'm so fucking stupid." Natsu said, putting his head in his hands.
"You're not stupid. You just forgot." Lucy said, putting a hand on his arm.
"Lucy, how are we gonna take care of a baby? We're still in high school. We can't be... parents." Just saying the word felt surreal to Natsu.
"Yes. We can. Juvia said she was gonna help out, and Gray..." She looked at Gray, who was still in shock. "Well, we'll ask Gray later. For now, we have the main things dealt with. Juvia said she wants to help with clothes, food, and other expenses. She also said that her aunt can take care of the baby while we're in school. Natsu, please. I'm not giving up our baby for adoption."
Natsu's expression softened a bit after Lucy had said 'our baby'. He sighed. "I don't either. But there's one main problem. Where are we gonna live?"
Lucy forgot about one of the most important points. "Well... I haven't told my father yet... In fact, he doesn't even know that you're my boyfriend..."
"I told my parents, and they didn't make such a big deal. I don't know what they'll say when they find out I'm gonna be a dad." Natsu grinned.
"So, you're alright with this?" Lucy asked.
"Of course. I love you, Luce. And I already love Natsu Jr., too." Natsu laughed.
"Who says the baby's gonna be a boy?" Lucy asked, crossing her arms.
"Who says the baby's not gonna be a boy?" Natsu replied, mimicking her movements.
Lucy laughed. Finally, Gray spoke. "Does this mean I'm the godfather?"
"Yes, and Juvia's the godmother." Lucy replied.
"And you're gonna help with the baby, alright Gray?" Juvia told him.
"I know, I know. But Lucy, when are you gonna tell you're dad? I mean, it's gonna be kind of hard to keep a secret when you're stomach starts growing. No offense." He added, after Juvia slapped him on the head.
"Oh, you're right." She looked down at her slim figure. She didn't mind growing big for the baby, but she wondered what people were gonna say at school.
"Don't listen to those idiots at school. You're beautiful, Luce." Natsu spoke, reading her mind.
"Thanks, Natsu." She leaned over and kissed him.
'I have the perfect boyfriend, the perfect friends, and everything's covered. What could go wrong?'
