Chapter 4

Natsu's POV

An engulfing fear purged me. Crossing it's path was an unbearable amount of worry. My sweat dropped endlessly. My eyes were drilling into the ground below me as I was sitting. I felt so scared, what if this was the end?

I tried not to think of such grave thoughts. But those thoughts continued to cross my mind. The last time I felt this way was when Lucy was poisoned. The same me from then, his thoughts and his emotions started to dig itself up from the depths of my heart.

Through the doors in front of me, Lucy was being checked.

I couldn't sit and wait no more. I want to see her. Is she okay? She had never collapsed so suddenly from being dizzy. What ever could have happened? I quickly stood up and hurriedly walked over to the doors, the doors that barricade Lucy.

I stopped in my tracks. A particular thought crossed my mind. It couldn't be, could it? Well we-

Suddenly the doors swung open. There is the doorway stood a doctor, he smiled warmly which I returned as a confused look.

"Doctor, is Lucy okay?" I asked in worried tone.

"She's going to continue having these moments. You'll need to be with her every second to keep an eye on her." He stated.

Worry filled me, "S-So? Why did that happen to her?" It wasn't what I thought it was right?

"Congratulations, My Lord. She's having symptoms for pregnancy, though she's in the early stages we can not confirm her to be pregnant. But we are sure, these symptoms relate completely to pregnancy. We will have to check again next week for any changes and such."

"Congratulations, My lord." Gray exclaimed as he knelt next to me.

Lucy? Pregnant with our child? The thought continued in a repetitive manner throughout my mind. I was so happy. A true moment of bliss to be known. Too happy that I'm stunned, shocked, and amazed all at the same time.

I snapped out of my thoughts as the doctor spoke up, "Would you like to see her now?"

"Of course!"

I ran inside. What came into sight was a white sheeted bed. Laid atop it was Lucy. As if she was the exact clone of my emotions, moments earlier. She lied there with a hand over her mouth, tears were trickling down her cheeks as she stared up at the ceiling.

I smiled. I knew exactly what she felt at the moment. Pure bliss.

I walked over to the side of the bed and looked down at her. I brought my hand to her face and gently with a thumb, wiped her tears away.

"Why the tears?" I chuckled, "Pregnancy, is a time where you should be happy." I stated.

She looked at me and smiled, slowly letting it turn onto soft laughs, "Silly. Of course I'm happy. It's just that I'm so happy, it brings me to tears."

I caressed her cheek, "Thank you. For giving me this gift..." I whispered.

"No, Thank 'you'..." She breathed.

Lucy's POV

Natsu went for a meeting with fellow earls, to expand his manor. As for I? I walked around the manor as it was for the time being with Lisanna. Enjoying the melodic chirps of the birds, the comforting breeze, and the enchanting scenery that was able to be seen from the second floor. Outstretched lands, as far as the eye could see. So beautiful and magical. From the balcony we could see everything, it was truly a gift brought my nature.

Like the normal day it was, it wouldn't be better without spending it in the gazebo with my family and friends.

We gossiped about this and that.

"Is it really a baby?" Ladies asked.

"Yes." I smiled proudly.

"Correct me If I'm wrong, but is the father Lord Natsu Dragneel?"

I blushed and nodded shyly.

The conversation continued, and as promised moments of nausea were to come. I excused myself from the ladies, and let Lisanna explain, "Sorry, My ladies. Moments of nausea, they often occur to our mistress. If you would please..." She raised her hands and turned them so they aimed at the door, "Kindly?... We are very apologetic to end the day here, thank you for coming." She kindly smiled.

As they left, one by one, escorted by maids and servants. Lisanna came running back to me.

"Well, they certainly took up a bit of our time. Didn't they?" She puffed her cheeks.

"Yes, indeed. But you know, women are jealous. They love to say these things." I sighed.

"Who, in magnolia 'isn't' jealous of your wealthy, heart melting husband that spoils you." She smirked at me.

Jealous? That gave me an idea to turn the tables, "Are you?"

"W-What? Who me? No. No. No." She stammered, "I couldn't possibly betray you now! I owe you my life!" She exclaimed.

"..." I paused for a second thinking the impossible, "And if you hadn't? If you were just a maid with no life debt. Would you betray me?"

She knelt down beside me, "I wouldn't dare. I would lie, if I said in my heart that I wouldn't think of him. But like I said. I wouldn't dare. If I should be foolish, I would end my life before I could do the unthinkable." She was dead serious. As was I.

The air around us, it said it all. She spoke no lie.

I smiled warmly, "I trust you. Now, please, get up and let us go inside." I said as I helped her up.

Natsu sat behind his desk as I entered. I smiled, walked over to him and snaked my arms over his shoulders and linked them at the front.

"Mmm... Natsu." I breathed in his ear as he blushed slightly.

"Is something the matter?" He asked sweetly.

"Nothing. I just miss you after a tiring day and the troubling morning sickness... It's also tiring."

He sighed, "Oh my dear Lucy." I pouted.

He stood up as I brought my body to his front. Gently he lifted me up bridal style and placed me on the bed. Hovering a top me.

He looked into my eyes with hungry ones then swooped down and captured my lips. I moaned and reciprocated against his, hungry and eager for more. But a feeling within me, stopped me.

"Sorry, Natsu. Not today." I shrugged.

Hello! I apologise for the, what, 3 day non update period of time. I was going to update yesterday. I had to attend to a friend's party. So this evening, whilst there was still some spare time left... advanced on.

Are you all happy? Natsu had made Lucy pregnant. If you forgot when, it was was The first or second chapter of the 2nd season. God knows.
