Neko: This might be a weird chapter…
Ch12: Finally Here
Lucy POV:
I didn't worry much about the pain I felt. I thought it was just a really strong kick from Nashi. I went to sleep right after that, which means that I also skipped
dinner. While I was sleeping, I had a dream about a baby with pink hair, more like salmon. Then, I saw Lisanna come and pick it up. The baby was crying, but
Lisanna was smiling and rocking the baby back and forth. I woke up when I saw Natsu come and hug her. When I woke up, the bed was wet. I realized that
my water just broke. I hook Little Igneel up and told him to go get Yuuki and Grandeeney. He wasn't fully awake yet, but he still left. I took deep breaths just
like the book told me to do. Then, Yuuki came in.
"What's wrong?"
"I think… I think she's coming…"
"What? This is a little too early!"
"Well, I guess she wants to see the world faster! And where's Grandeeney?"
"Ignee went to get her. She should be here in about a few minutes."
"Well… I need her now…"
"We still have time as long as your water never broke yet…"
"Well, it did!"
"What!? Okay… okay… just calm down Lucy… calm down." She started running around the room.
"Uhhh… just in case you didn't notice I am calm… at least calmer than you."
Then Grandeeney came in.
"I heard you from outside. I'll get right to it." She told me to breathe first. I just wanted to push and get her out right away because it was causing me so much
pain. Grandeeney was panicking too. She probably never delivered a human baby before. Since she told me to breathe for a while, and then push, so she
probably read the book before. I was having a hard time breathing. It started to get worse. Everything was blurry and it started to get hot. I heard
Grandeeney yelling.
Grandeeney said, "No… no… Lucy keep your eyes open. She yelled, "We're losing her! She's burning up too! Ignee! Go get Aisu! Quick!"
I heard Ignee question, "You want ice? Okay!"
"No you idiot! Aisu! The ice dragon slayer!" Grandeeney yelled.
"I don't know where to get her…"
"Yuuki! You go then! Hurry! Meet us outside the portal on Genji Island! And Lucy! I need you to stay with me! Breathe!"
I tried to answer but my throat was dry. I doubt I would even be able to say anything even if my throat wasn't dry because I would feel too much pain. I tried
breathing but it was like there was no oxygen to breathe. Then, I felt myself being lifted up. I then felt a wind, which made it even harder to breathe. Next
thing I knew, I was in a forest. There was a beautiful waterfall too, so I was probably back on Genji Island. It was easier to breathe now, but I still felt like I
was on fire. Then I saw Yuuki and Aisu come from the waterfall. Grandeeney started, "Aisu! Make some Ice around Lucy! She's burning up! And Yuuki! Get
something to wipe Lucy! She's sweating a lot! Ignee! Go into town and get something! Hayaku!" Grandeeney slid some water into my mouth and I swallowed
it. I managed to say, "You are so dead the next time I see you Natsu!"
Grandeeney said, "Good to see you can talk again."
Aisu asked, "Why do we need ice again?"
I yelled at her, "Because I'm burning up! And in case you didn't know, there's a fire dragon slayer growing in my stomach!"
"Right… right… I totally forgot." Then she went back to creating giant ice blocks. I felt a little cooler, but it was still hot! I pushed and Grandeendey said, "Wait!
Not yet! Don't push yet!" Her eyes widened and she shouted, "Never mind! Push!" I did as she said and after a few minutes, I gave a loud, piercing scream.
The pain was almost all gone. I was just feeling sore now. I didn't hear any cries so I asked, "What's wrong Grandeeney? Why isn't she crying!?" She didn't
answer me so I tried to get up.
"You shouldn't be up yet Lucy!" I got up anyways and saw her. She had the most beautiful hair color, salmon, but she was still, wasn't moving, wasn't crying. I
teared up and grabbed her out of Grandeeney's arms, not caring that she was still very bloody and attached to the umbilical cord. I held her upside down and
began to pat her back. Then, she let out a cry.
Natsu POV:
I was just laying down in Lucy's bed. Then I heard a baby cry. I got up and looked around the room to see if the noise had come from the room, but I found no
baby. I looked outside the window and saw no one too. "What was that just now? Where did it come from? Lucy's neighbors? But I've never heard a baby cry
here before…" I sat and thought for a while, "Maybe I'm hearing things." I laid back down and smelled Lucy's scent and fell asleep.
Lucy POV:
When I heard Nashi cry, more tears began to slide off my face. I held her close to me and started to rock her back and forth. Then Grandeeney cut the umbilical
cord and took her to the water to wash her. I didn't want to let her go, but I was feeling tired. Little Igneel came back with blankets and cloths. Grandeeney
took a cloth and wrapped it around Nashi. She brought Nashi to me and I took her in my arms. The first thing I noticed when I held her in my arms was that she
had my eyes. Her eyes were honey brown and huge just like mine. I smiled at her and said, "You're finally here Nashi." She began to laugh. Everyone smiled
and said, "Kawaii!"
Yuuki said, "I don't think you can go back to the dragon realm yet because you are too tired right now." Grandeeney nodded and added on, "Plus, your magic
must be drained right now, so you should stay in the human world right now. There's a little mansion up ahead so you can rest there for a while." I nodded and
Grandeeney helped me up. When we got to the mansion, I sat down and noticed that Nashi was asleep. Little Igneel came up to me and looked at Nashi. I
said to him, "Wanna hold her?" He nodded. "But you have to be careful okay?" He nodded again. He sat down next to me and I gave Nashi to him. I helped him
hold her at first, but then let him hold her himself. I called Yuuki over, "Yuuki, can you please watch them both while I take a bath? If anything happens to
Nashi, you'll get it… so don't let anything happen to her." She backed away a little scared and nodded. I walked away looking for the bathroom. When I found
it, it was quite clean, not to mention the house. Everything was clean even though nobody's been here for such a long time. I turned on the water for the bath.
Then I washed my face. When the tub was full, I went in and cleaned myself. After I finished, I went out and saw Yuuki trying to stop Nashi from crying. I went
to her and took Nashi from her. I started to rock her and she fell asleep.
Yuuki said, "Amazing! You are going to be such a great mother!"
"Thanks."
Grandeeney came in, "Lucy, I've been wondering. How'd you know what to do earlier when Nashi wasn't breathing?"
"I read it from a book. It said that when babies come out and they don't breathe, stuff could be stuck in their throat and all. When that happens, you hold them
upside down and start patting their back to see if the things stuck in there will come out."
"I see… I didn't know. I guess you've done a lot of research then."
"Yep!"
"Okay… well we're heading back to the dragon realm. You can manage on your own with Ignee right?" I nodded and they left. Then I went to find the bed
because I was exhausted. I found it and put Nashi next to me. Little Igneel went to sleep in the room next door. I put my arm around Nashi and fell asleep.
Neko: How's that? Nashi's finally born!
Lucy: I loved it! Although you did gave me a heart attack there when you said Nashi wasn't breathing…
Neko: Of course she wouldn't die! What would be the whole point of me making Lucy pregnant then?
Lucy: I guess that's true…
Neko: Anyways! Review Please!
