Lucy POV~

I had gotten back to the guild finally, but I was walking with two kids. "Who are they?" I thought to myself. I looked at them and somehow realized. "Oh right, they're my kids…. Weird, I can't remember anything about them…."

But my thoughts were interrupted by a happy Natsu running towards me.

"LUCY! You're back! I'm so sorry for everything!" He smiled, coming up to me with that smile.

I giggled. "I'm happy to see you too."

"Who're these kids?" He asked, tilting his head and observing the children at my side.

"Um…. You may not remember because you were drunk but, they're yours." I said nervously while blushing.

Natsu froze, his eyes widened a bit. "….huh?"

One of the kids spoke up. "Are… are you my papa?"

The other one spoke as well. "Where have you been?"

Natsu started to sweat. "Lu-lucy… I-I don't… I can't take care of them….. I'm sorry I did this to you but… I-I'm sorry…" He turned and walked away.

"Eh? B-but…Natsu?" I got tears in my eyes. I reached out for his sleeve, but when I grabbed it he coldly nudged me away.

"Sorry, but I can't do this….." Natsu said as he turned and began walking again.

I tried chasing his, but a sharp pain in my stomach made me collapse.

"Natsu!" I cried, the pain overwhelming.

"NATSUUUUUU!"

I woke up screaming, the pain was excruciating.

It was time.

"IGNEEL! GRANDEEN! METALLICANA!" I screamed as loud as I could. I never knew that giving birth would be this painful.

All the dragons rushed in, Igneel and Metallicana obviously still half asleep.

"What is it Lucy!?" Grandeen asked coming over and holding my hand.

"The babies are coming! And they want out, NOW!" I clenched her hand to relive some of the pain, but ended up crushing her hand in the process. But Grandeen was very thoughtful and didn't pull away. I'm sure she knew that it hurt.

Igneel stumbled over his own feet, panicking. "Oh, ooh , OOOHHH MAH GAWD! O-okay Lucy PULL DOWN YOUR PANTS AND JUST PUSH DA BABY OUT!" He yelled, putting his arms out as if the baby would come popping out and he would need to catch it.

Grandeen just sighed and said, "Igneel it doesn't work that way! Go grab some towels and a tub of water!"

"Y-yes ma'am!" Igneel and Metallicana said tripping over each other as they ran out, and Metallicana ran into the doorway.

As they ran out, Grandeen pulled off the bed sheets and of course my pants and draped one of the blankets over my legs.

"A lady should have her privacy in a moment like this." She smiled, squeezing my hand.

"Th-thank you!" I trembled but forced a smile.

It hurt so bad that I was sweating, my skin moist and dripping.

Just then, Igneel ran in with a pile of towels and Metallicana had a tub of warm water.

They set down the towels and water and put a wet cloth on my forehead for the sweat.

"T-thank you…" I smiled faintly, but then blushed deeply when I realized that, well you know, my lady parts were still visible.

Igneel and Metallicana must have noticed as well because they blushed too.

"S-S-S-SO S-S-SORRY!" Igneel and Metallicana yelled, covering their eyes as they ran out of the room, yet once again ran into the doorway.

Grandeen set out the towels as I continued to groan in pain.

My vision became blurry, my head aching and my consciousness fading.

"LUCY! Stay awake! I know it's painful but you need to stay awake!" Grandeen reminded me, dipping a washcloth in warm water and setting it on my head.

"R-right, thanks." I grunted, trying to stay awake and breathe, two very simple things that seemed so difficult at this moment.

After quickly setting out a cushion of towels for the babies, Grandeen looked at me nervously.

"O-okay Lucy, you need to push on three." She must've been stressed because she began to sweat as well.

"Alright, I-I think I'm ready." I shakily replied, even though I knew I was far from it. I'd never experienced a physical pain this horrible before, and if it hurt this bad now then I don't know how much worse pushing them out would be.

"One, t-two… THREE!" Grandeen shouted, and I pushed as hard as I could.

"AGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!" I heard a blood curdling cry of pain, and instantly recognized it to be mine.

However, just then I heard a second cry, one of a child. A slight sense of relief hit me.

I looked up to see Grandeen setting the baby on the cushion of towels and I smiled.

"One down, one more to go." I said, breathing hard and sweating.

"One more time, you're almost there. One, two, THREE!" Grandeen announced once again.

I pushed as hard as I could once again, my body tensing up, and hear the final cry.

My body collapses as I sigh happily, Grandeen setting the other baby down.

As I watch her rinse the blood off the babies with the tub of water, I fade off into a deep sleep.

I look down at my pink-haired girl and blonde-haired boy.

As we walk together holding hands, I spot a familiar building up ahead with the Fairy Tail insigna on it.

I stop and the kids look at me. I tremble, remembering what happened in the previous dream.

"Don't worry, momma!" the girl smiles.

"B-but what if he rejects us?" I ask them teary eyed.

"He won't. From what I've heard, my pop is a good guy." Says the boy confidently.

I nod to them and smile as we walk on.

As I regain consciousness, I see Grandeen, Igneel, and Metallicana surrounding me.

I hear Igneel and Metallicana arguing… again.

"No! You buy the girl clothes and I buy the boy clothes! I have manlier taste than you!" yelled Igneel.

"HA! You can't even dress yourself manly! You look like an ugly woman wearing those clothes! YOU buy the girl clothes!" argued Metallicana.

"Ahem, I think I'LL pick out the clothes for MY kids." I giggled and they all stopped and turned to me.

"I TOLD you!" Igneel mumbled, nudging Metallicana in the side.

"WHY YOU—!" Metallicana started to shout, however I interrupted.

"OI, where are my babies?" I asked looking around the room.

"One moment." Grandeen smiled and happily pranced out of the room.

"H-hey, congrats." Metallicana blushed, looking away.

"Thank you." I grinned to him and he ruffled my hair.

"You're gonna be a great mom!" Igneel cried with tears of joy as he hugged me, and I hugged him back.

"Thank you both for all your support!" I pulled them both to me and squeezed them in a hug.

Just then, Grandeen walked in with the babies and I squealed in excitement.

Metallicana and Igneel backed away and Grandeen placed the babies in my arms.

I gasped as I looked at them:

The girl, wrapped in a light pink blanket, had soft salmon hair. The boy, bundled in a firey-red blanket, had equally as soft blond hair. Both their eyes were closed as they slept, however I know that a babies eye color doesn't develop right away.

"They're so beautiful." I held them close and smiled softly.

I hope you all enjoyed this new chapter, I've been dying to upload it! Love you all, Peace Out Pandas!
