Chapter 5

Note to SadAnimeGirl for your review: If you're into NaLi fanfiction, then you shouldn't read my story, heck even reviewing. Here we only worship NaLu.

Lucy's POV

Another check-up...

I push open the doors, which seems a lot heavier than usual and whilst taking steps the equivalent I motioned towards the sitting figure of Natsu.

He looked up abruptly and noticing it's me he stood up quickly and held my shoulders firmly, "How did it go?" He almost whispered, with the result of my silence he sat back down soullessly.

"..." I looked at him, and for moments our stares battled against each other. Then I smirked. He gave me the expected, confused look. I jumped at him for a hug, "I'm so happy, for us. For that child in my belly." I cried.

I pulled back to receive a dumbfounded look from Natsu. I giggled.

"I don't understand..." He whispered.

I sighed, "I'm pregnant." and looked away, quite embarrassed that I actually ended up saying it.

We stood there as valuable time passed by. I looked back at him. Before I could get the clear view of him. He pulled me into a hug. He was so warm it touched my heart, and with no particular reason, tears that felt like a hot fiery liquid trickled down my cheeks.

He pulled back and softly with his thumb he wiped away the tears, "Don't cry."

"I don't even know why. I don't even have a reason to. Unless you count being overjoyed as one."

He smiled.

Natsu's POV

I opened the door from the bathroom, and found Lucy fast asleep on the bed. I smiled and strode over to lie down next to her. Softly and slowly, I made sure not to wake her.

I studied her. She's just as beautiful like the day I met her. Golden locks of hair spread across the pillow. Rosy tinted cheeks and a small petite mouth. I propped myself up with an elbow and continued to absorb her beauty. I reached forward with my free hand and tucked strands of loose hair behind her ear and smiled warmly.

Somewhat, the picture I see is an isolated rose on the face of earth feeding on the moonlight. I can imagine how it relates to her.

All throughout the night. Lucy, beside me is twisting and turning. Mumbling unknown words to my knowledge. I couldn't make out any of the words that she was saying. It seemed like she was going through an endless nightmare.

Somewhere in the situation she mumbled my name. A soft melody, but curtained her insecurity. Being the person I am. I worried for her well-being.

Not wanting to wake her, I gently slipped my arm under her neck and turned to me, still repetitively mumbling my name.

I could take advantage of her vulnerable self right now, this second.

But I loved her too much to hurt her. I was too much of a, nice-guy.

With my other arm, I snaked it around her waist and pulled her closer. I patted her back softly, letting her know that she was okay. That there was always someone beside her. That I will always be with her.

It took mere minutes to hear soft breathing. To feel her chest heaving lightly, every now and again. She stirred beneath me but continued to sleep as she snuggled closer to me. I toyed with the ring on my finger, until slowly I was falling into my slumber.

…

The chirping of birds was the announcement of daybreak. It had been a long night, if I were to actually know.

I opened my eyes and looked to the side. My whole arm was numb. There batting her eyelashes quickly at me was indeed my loving sweetheart, Lucy.

I yawned and stretched and had her giggling, and when she was off guard I locked her in my arms.

"Good morning, Luce." I gave her a soft kiss on the top of her head earning yet another giggle.

"Good morning, Natsu." She brought her arms around my back and hugged me tightly.

"You seemed to have had a nightmare last night. Seeing as how you 'cried' my name out."

She blushed, "W-what are you talking about?!"

"Well look who's embarrassed here." I smirked as I thought of more things to put her on edge, "I had to hug you close to me too. Did you hear my heartbeats, they were going crazy for you..." I whispered.

"S-stop it. You're making my face go red..." She stuttered.

I chuckled softly and brought her in for another hug.

Lucy's POV

Flash Back

"Natsu?" I asked curiously.

"Mmm?" He gave a short reply as he fumbled with his tie.

"Why are you getting up? It's still early."

He looked at me then into space. Then walked over to the bed, where I was and sat down on the edge, "I guess, you'll just have to find out for yourself." He smiled as he brought his hand up and stroked my cheek.

Just before he was about to leave, he ran a finger over my lips and under my jaw-line to cup my chin. He leaned in and captured my lips with a passionate and heated kiss.

He pulled back and grinned and left. Leaving me with butterflies in my stomach.

…

Flash Back END

I called Lisanna in to help me with the dress, I mean the actual corset.

"You seem bright today, Lisanna." I eyed her with curiosity.

"Oh, of course every maid must be presented with a smile. Is that not what you taught me, My Lady?" She tilted her head to the side and smiled sweetly, "Now, shall we dress you?"

I looked in the full length mirror, and was amazed by my own beauty. Pink ruffles lined my; waist, rib-cage, chest, arms and down along the dress. Roses adorned just under my waist on the left side. My hair was tied into a loose bun with long curled bangs hanging on both sides. Pink shadows lightly coated my eyelids. Small lips again coated, but with a peachy tint.

I continued to stare into the mirror and walked towards my own reflection and gently placed my hand on my heart.

'For Natsu...' I smiled.

Hello! You all probably want to kill me right now, on the spot, this minute, this second, etc. My I apologize, and I hope you will all accept it. I had put my story on hold, not sure if it worked, because in my first few weeks of school I was bombarded with endless homework. No joke! I swear the teachers really want to kill us. They assign us with tons of homework.

Aside from that... How are you all doing? Hopefully good. If not, PM me feel free to let it out. ( don't have to ). I've had a wonderful week, even though there has been a bit of drama with friends, I'm all good.

Please leave a review!

Thanks for reading!
