Lucy rose before the sun out of habit, and gazed around her black room today as she knew it was September 22nd.

Lucy jumped out of surprise Natsu was besides her, then her memory kicked to a start and she remembered the shenanigans of yesterday, Today she was met with a monthly problem, she could feel the cramps in her abdomen and see the mess on her onesie, she was scared Natsu would wake up to this,so she crept silently out of his grasp her purple sheets were colored maroon but the mess wasn't dry so she could still clean up this mess she dashed into the bathroom and jumped into the noisy shower knowing Natsu would not wake up from his deep slumber, if he was going to wake up her leaving the bed would have caused him to open his eyes but he just slept on unaware of the red coloring on his stomach..This was a mess! She showered and got into the things she needed to before sealing of her body with a black sweat pants and an orange hoodie,

this was an unexpected and embarrassing situation, Lucy tiptoed out of the warm room into the frosty early morning, she popped her onesie and underwear into a bin containing cold water and washing soda before running back with a damp cloth to have a heart attack cause Natsu was awake and climbing out of bed in search of her, oblivious to what was happening he said. ''Hey Luce you smell something odd?'' ''No.'' she said quickly grabbing at the Totoro outfit he was wearing he let her strip him out of the outfit since he didn't like the childish wear even though he was a childish guy, and he was wearing a white shirt underneath it anyway, Lucy promptly stripped that off scaring the half asleep boy awake with a wet cloth going up and down his side, before he could respond she ran away with the soiled items blushing hard. ''Oh my goodness, Lucy why!'' she couldn't hold her shame in, she had stripped him as soon as he woke what was he going to make of that?

Natsu joined her in the laundry room before getting kicked out, puzzled he just laid down on the couch for more sleep. Lucy peeked out and seeing Natsu asleep she crawled knowing that if she ran she would be caught, she grabbed the bed comforter and ran back before cleaning the bed with bleach wipes.' success' she thought before feeling the cramps start to kick in, ''Natsu.'' he woke up as soon as he heard her voice. ''What?'' he said before covering his blue t-shirt in his chest area.

''I'm not going to attack you.'' she said sheepishly walking into the kitchen. ''What do you want for breakfast?'' Natsu propped himself up on one hand kind of shy to ask his 'wife.'

''Anything you make.'' Lucy smiled to herself by the counter-top, her stomach was starting to cramp so she decided to just cook something simple: cream cheese covered toast, spicy eggs and orange juice, but after that she thought 'Natsu eats a lot.' so she added grilled sausages and fresh fruit to the table, Lucy smiled placing a pitcher of cold water on the table. Natsu was in the shower all the while, but the smell of breakfast soon lured him out from his scrub fest,''Lucy there are only two plates what about your father.''

Natsu reminded the girl who never forgot. ''You have to treat him well, he is still your father.'' Lucy added another plate with a real stank look on her face. He was right but she wished she could treat him like he treated her and completely forget him. ''By the way, Lucy I am a surgeon I know what blood smells like.'' Natsu said whisking by her. She couldn't look up all breakfast time she was so embarrassed with herself.

Today Natsu wanted to go on a date with Lucy it wasn't apart of her plans so she didn't want to have an 'outing' with him, ''Hey where is Jude?'' Natsu asked when he was denied a third plate,

Lucy shrugged she knew that if he wasn't present he was at work, she didn't want to admit that it still made her sad but Natsu understood and each and every move she made whether she liked it or not. Lucy ate her breakfast happily, but found when she reached for her glass she had drank it all so she did what any logical girl at this time of month would do and burst into tears, Natsu pouted he knew she got like this a lot. ''What's wrong Luigi?'' he asked her,

''We don't have anymore orange juice!'' she wailed but Natsu only laughed at her struggle. ''You're one amazing girl y'know that Luce?'' Lucy glanced at Natsu from the side not sure if she should say 'thanks' or not, he sighed and leaned back in his chair. ''I'll buy more for you if you promise to come with me.'' Lucy frowned down at her faded orange hoodie and black sweatpants, ''Don't worry Luigi you look fine.'' Natsu reassured her and she felt sincerely she looked fine.

Natsu dashed out of the duo's room. ''Lucy I decided I want to wear what you are wearing.'' he announced wearing a matching orange hoodie and black sweat pants, ''No, Natsu why?'' Lucy said embarrassed popping an aspirin pill and undoing last night's hair twists,his hoodie said in bold print. 'Yours' while her hoodie confirmed, 'Faithfully' right across the chests of both hoodies, they always wore them at different times because after winning them at a college ball game they realized the vendor thought they were a couple.

''Too late!'' Natsu said grabbing her by her waist and carrying her to her car, she screamed the whole way but the residents of the two other Fairy Hills buildings' only watched and smiled at the kidnapper and his victim. unknown to anyone that Jude was following closely behind

Lucy drove towards Hargeon market with a sour face the entire time, she was shy to step out of the car but Natsu grabbed her gently by the arm, she didn't want to admit the matching getup and his beaming face made her kind of happy and soon she was smiling as well.

''You're a contagious boy, you know that Natsu.'' she said hiding her head in his arm as they walked into the store, ''That's weird, you are the only person ever to catch my illnesses.'' Lucy blushed into his arm but smiled understanding his point. Lucy shivered in the A/C that was mixing with the frosty air outside so Natsu casually pulled her closer, they were so close all these years she didn't even think it as weird.

Natsu and Lucy split up to buy different things cause apparently they had a lot to stock up on.

''Okay, Natsu remember the list is as follows:

Raw Honey

Orange Juice

Chocolate

Sanitary Napkins

Milk

Avocados

got it?''

''Yeah.'' he said watching something random on a T.V screen.

she walked away with a small basket knowing Natsu was listening for her every word.

''Such a cute boy he is.'' she said to herself then remembering his hearing, she turned around shocked but he was gone already, releasing her anxiety Lucy toddled on through the aisles in her naturally cute manner.

Natsu was walking through the aisle his face as pink as his hair, he had heard her. ''Calm down, it's not like she doesn't call you that every day.'' ''Yeah but this time she whispered it.'' ''Maybe she knew I was listening.'' Natsu had a little debate with himself going to but the less embarrassing items.

Lucy walked whisked through each aisle with her ridiculous speed and long legs, she smiled brightly each time she saw Natsu's attention grabbing pink hair peeking out of his hood.

She saw him again and ran ahead to beat him to another aisle but he didn't show up, wondering why he wasn't there for a minute Lucy went back to the previous snack aisle and saw Natsu taking to a pretty brunette.

She didn't know now what she was feeling, if it was her hormones acting up or what, but anger, sadness, and fear all at once washed over her like she was lost by the deep blue sea and she had decided to dance with the waves.

she felt bad because of her thoughts but then she noticed the girl who was 'just asking for directions' wasn't actually doing so Lucy saw the girl's hazel eyes go up and down Natsu's body multiple times as if she was sending signals to the dense blockhead for he just went on talking.

Her heart was beating rapidly in her chest and she felt she had to do something and fast. Lucy charged into Natsu shoulder latching onto his arm like some sort of overprotective girlfriend, the girl looked at the matching outfits and the words. ''Yours Faithfully.'' her face turned sour and she looked at Natsu like he had wronged her.

Lucy normally wouldn't do such a thing but it made her feel good sticking her tongue out at the fleeting girl. ''Oh, I see.'' Natsu said earning a puzzled look from his envious partner she looked up whilst still holding onto his arm binding it to her chest. ''Somebody's jealous!'' he said smirking. ''No!'' she was quick to deny but she looked at her black and white shoes to hide her face. ''You know what they say Luce, jealousy is like a demonic possession in need of an exorcism.''

Lucy gulped she was the one who quoted that two years ago when some guy called Loki tried to get her number, she didn't give her number to him but she commented that Natsu was glaring the entire time. '

'How could I forget Natsu.'' she said and he finally let the moment go when he was through teasing her, '' 'sides you're the only girl, I look towards.'' he said scratching the nape of his neck as he did when he was flustered, sadly our curious 'Lil bun' Lucy wasn't paying attention rather she was looking at the different types of chocolate.

Natsu stroked his hair quickly brushing of his confession and focusing on how cute the tiptoeing girl looked trying to see all of the chocolates. ''Natsu-'' Lucy's voice cracked and he got scared was she listening..was she gonna reject him? ''They don't sell milk chocolate!'' she said wailing again running into his arms. Natsu was in stitches. ''It's not funny stop laughing! I want my chocolate.''

she hit him in the shoulder, it didn't hurt so he laughed harder. Lucy looked away from him afraid she was going to cry again. ''Okay, Okay Luce how about this one?'' he said reaching over her head and pulling down a red box of chocolates, when he was in the process of doing so Lucy didn't know what to do with her feelings. ''It contains just 1% of chili pepper in it.'' he said excited to try it, there was enough for him to have a few pieces because Lucy would eat that whole box if she liked it.

Natsu walked out of the store with all of the items plus extra and a Happy Lucy.

He smiled at the sky and raised his arms to stretch, before he was interrupted by a woman shrieking the same brunette from earlier.

He snapped his gaze to a man laying on the ground bleeding rapidly, with expert reaction time Lucy sat her groceries down and was already clearing a path through the crowd. ''Move back people!'' Natsu yelled rolling up his sleeves and pulling up the man's shirt carefully, he listened closely to the mans heart while Lucy ran back into the store for supplies, there was a faint beat! ''he is alive, people move back!'' at the people who were asking the same useless questions. ''will that man be alright.'' Jude was going to help being a doctor and all but he stopped his feet to watch his baby girl and Natsu attempt to save a man's life.

Lucy was starting to sweat despite the freezing weather and the fact she was breathing freezer air. The brunette called for an ambulance like she was instructed to, watching Lucy closely she started to gain respect for the young doctor. she wasn't the only one Jude watched Natsu's quick and precise movement as he got blood all over his hoodie that held more memories then one could care to count. Jude saw Lucy and Natsu's amber wedding rings hanging out of Lucy's pocket he was surprised he didn't see them take it off. Jude watched the rings fall out of her pocket as she suppressed the bleeding, a member of the crowd kicked it into the street there Jude retrieved it.

''Get him into the ambulance.'' Jet a fast-working paramedic said, nodding his head at Lucy who insisted on riding to the hospital cause once she had a patient she couldn't let them go without first resolving the problem.

Lucy stepped out into the fresh air after being in the operating room for three hours retrieving the smallest glass fragments from the man's body, she was greeted by a worried family asking her questions all at once, she replied with a smile and said.''Don't worry Missus Eucliffe, your husband will be alright, we just have to monitor him for a few more days.''

''Yes.. yes but Ma'am aren't you a pediatric doctor?'' the woman asked worriedly. ''She is a doctor capable of having different doctoral occupations.'' Levy answered for her then the blue haired saint bent down and scooped up a little boy named sting who was at the time clinging onto to Lucy's dark green surgical scrubs that she so wanted to get out of thankfully she only had blood on her chest.

Levy bounced the boy on her hip and looked into Lucy's doe eyes the same way she did when, she told people bad news. ''W-what is it?'' Lucy stuttered. ''It's Natsu he is hurt.'' Lucy's eyes widened as she started to take of her scrubs while Levy filled her in, ''According to a witness, some reckless driver hit him with their motor bike!'' Lucy was already running down the hall so Levy yelled that last part. ''Where is he?!'' she asked Jet who of course retrieved him.

''Calm down Lucy he is alright.'' Erza the team leader said calming Lucy. ''He is right here.'' she said opening a curtain.

Natsu had his right hand in a splint and he was knocked out, ''he only suffered a broken hand.'' Erza added. ''Why is he knocked out.'' Lucy said holding her mouth and tears threatening to spill. ''Oh he is just sleeping.'' Gajeel said laughing out-loud. Lucy almost fell on the floor in shock sleeping? this boy would be the death of her. ''Yeah he is under anesthesia.'' he quickly added calming the furious blonde down.

Gajeel was a big help to Lucy bringing Natsu home and laying him down on the couch before going back to the hospital to work the night shift.

''Oh Snap!'' Lucy yelled she forgot the groceries but her worries were soon quenched when Jude came home holding them, Only few knew he was present at the hospital asking her friends if she was really married, which they answered yes. He even asked the children one boy (Zeref) answered he was at the wedding..he thought that way since he got Ice cream cake a few days back.

Lucy grabbed at her pockets searching her pants and hoodie.''Our rings!'' she felt a wind of fear wash over her. those were Natsu's mother present to him and she lost them, she was about to get upset again when Jude pulled the rings out of his azure trench coat. Lucy caught in a happy moment jumped onto her fathers arms.

''Thank you so much Papa, I don't know what I'd have done.'' then she pulled back looked at him with a blank face and waddled into the bathroom regret ridden.

When she went into her room to change soiled clothes because of the three hour operation, she almost jumped out of her already pale skin.

Natsu was in there sleeping on the bed, then she thought 'Jude thank you.' and laid besides him in her Luigi onesie a choice of clothing that soon would get her teased, but she didn't care she quite liked his remarks.

Lucy leaned over Natsu to pull the silver light switch when she caught herself staring at his soft cushion-like lips, catching her moment she smack kissed him on his forehead as a goodnight gesture, then snuggled up closely minding his hand.

Jude closed the bedroom door that still had a fractured lock, but not before watching the sweet moment.

He chuckled to himself and walked toward the guest room.

On this night the house smelt of fresh oranges since Lucy liked to make fresh orange juice,

It also smelt of coffee since Jude was an avid coffee drinker.

''What do you think we should do with this puppy?'' Nab Lasaro a doctor working in the veterinarian division of Magnolia asked his co-worker, ''Well Natsu went through a lot of trouble to save that dog from that crazy cyclist, so the best we can do is fix him right up and send the weird puppy to him.'' Mickey Chickentiger replied.

she was holding a white Pomeranian puppy and all it could say garnered it the title of weird. ''Puu-puun'' plus the thing had an oddly colored slightly orange nose, so they just prepped him for delivery to Fairy Hills and for now they called him Snow-man, they did happily knowing Lucy would be thrilled.
