Welcome to my new series!

This will be where I upload all small stories with only one similarity - It has to be centered around Natsu and Lucy (Nalu). Although, that's not to say there won't be other FT characters, of course.

The name Trials and tribulations may sound like they're all going to be angsty, but I promise they won't be. I'll write for all kinds of genre's to suit anyone's tastes and if you have any ideas, then let me know, too.

I will put warnings up on chapters that may contain sensitive or adult content, so look out for those.

I guess the big question is; why am I doing this?

Well, I love reading these types of stories because they're usually pretty cute, but also, I find some smaller drabbles really are too small to post on their own so I wanted to make a collection of them.

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy these little fics, and let me know what you think of them.


Chapter 1: Misleading's.

Summary: Natsu and Lucy receive some surprising news, with a twist. Rated K.

"I'm pregnant." She said timidly, looking up into those piercing dark eyes of his.

It took a moment, but the pink haired man was sure, for the first time in his life, that he hadn't heard correctly.

"Huh?"

"I'm p-pregnant…" she said once more, face flushed. Never had she thought saying it out loud would be so nerve wracking.

The fire mage's stare sent chills down her spine. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea…

"You're pre- Wait, you mean like laying an egg?" His eyes flew wide, mouth falling open. "A big, baby sized egg?!"

"Shut up, you idiot! You're making her nervous!" Lucy yelled, whacking her ridiculous husband over the head before enveloping her daughter in a tight hug. "Ignore him."

"Mama, I… are you crying?!" The young woman asked, worry settling in her stomach when she heard a few faint sniffles coming from her mother.

Squeezing a little tighter, the blonde simply couldn't find the right words to convey just how ecstatic she was over the news. She was going to have a grandchild!

Feeling a pang of hurt in her chest, the pink haired woman hadn't expected such anticlimactic responses from her own parents; were they disappointed in her? "Have I done something wrong?"

Hearing the worry in her daughters voice, Lucy let go and stood back, an enormous grin stretching her lips, "Course not, silly! This is wonderful news! It was just a bit of a surprise that's all!"

Resting his hand on his wife's shoulder, Natsu glanced down into brown eyes that shimmered with unshed tears and snorted, "Are you kidding, Nasha? This is gonna be so awesome!"

He grabbed hold of the young mages hand and brought her into a hug, cradling her head into his chest, "You could never do wrong by us, no matter what."

With a smile slowly gracing her cheeks, she chuckled a little feeling relief enter her system before pulling away to gaze up at her father, "Even if I said it was Greige's?"

With a sudden flinch of the mans hands, grip tightening on her arms ever so slightly, the young girl knew what was coming.

"Greige, Huh?" Feeling an uncontrollable desire to summon his draconic flames, he gently let go of his daughters arms, his calmness almost sinister as he smiled through gritted teeth, "I'mma burn him to ashes!"


Did anyone else think it was Lucy at the very beginning?
