Little light chapter 7
-/)*(\-
They were screwed it's as simple as that.
Natsu leaned against the wall next to the bathroom, as a mixture of worry, panic, stress but most importantly fear washed over him.
They were late, beyond late.
Elfman and Evergreen were gonna kill them with the guild picking at their remains, he just knew it.
Their wedding was today. Lucy, Happy and himself, were meant to be there over an hour ago, especially Lucy since she was meant to be helping Mira and Lissana with keeping the bride and groom calm before the ceremony starts. But here they were still at home, with Lucy being held captive by the bathroom, in which she had locked the freaking door which is why he's standing outside the room and not in there with her as she empties her stomach. He cringed each time he heard her, wishing so badly that she didn't lock him out.
"Natsu? Is Lucy any better" Happy asked as he floated into the room clearly concerned about being late as well. Natsu turned his head slightly allowing him to focus his gaze on the bathroom door, sighing he looked back towards the blue exceed.
"I don't think so happy." The pinkette stated before letting out a sigh of defeat "I think it would be best if me and Luce skip the ceremony and meet everyone at the after party" He finished. Hearing this Happy's eyes widened as he brought his paws to his mouth.
"but Elfman and Evergreen…especially Evergreen will kill you two for skipping and not to mention Mira" Happy wailed in distress before making eye contact with the young man noting the seriousness within his gaze.
"I know Happy, but in this situation it seems like the best idea, hopefully Lucy will be better by the after party." Natsu's voice turned quieter as he turned his attention back towards the door that seemed to be taunting him so much lately. "Besides if you tell Lissana or Erza the situation I'm pretty sure they can vouch for us and calm Mira and Evergreen down, can I count on you buddy" he finished trying to pull off his signature smile in hopes of convincing the exceed to fly to hell itself for him and Lucy.
"aye sir" Happy whined knowing how worried Natsu currently was about his wife even if he's trying to hide it.
"Thank's buddy" The slayer let out a breath of relief as he watched he friend fly out of the house towards the Chapel where the wedding was being held. Before turning his attention back to the accursed door.
'And to think today had started so well' He thought to himself, thinking back to the earlier events.
Flashback
Natsu POV
"Lucy, if you don't hurry, we're gonna be late" I called in an amused voice as I fidgeted with the tie on the tux, 'honestly why do girls always take so long to change' I had thought to myself.
"Shut up Natsu, you know how hard it is putting a dress on with a swollen stomach" an angry replied came from the room. In a normal situation I would have been hurt at the Lucy's sudden harsh words but over the last week I had quickly taken noticed how her mood swings are starting to take place and most the time she didn't mean to be angry or mad, so far he had been dealing with this pretty well, so far.
"Oi Happy are you ready" I hollered down the hallway
"Aye sir" Happy replied as he flew into the room wearing a small tuxedo, specially made for him with small slits at the back for his wings. Just as the exceed had flown into the room. Lucy had walked out from the bathroom wearing a violet dress that showed off both her breast and protruding stomach. While admiring the way the dress had looked on her, I had quickly noticed the frown on her face.
"Luce? Are you ok?"
"yea, I just feel a bit off, that's all, nothing to be too concerned about" Lucy replied as she waved her hand in a dismissive manner.
"Ok if you say so than" I replied not quite believing her but decided to leave it for now "Well if that's all then let's get going to the wedding" I cheered as well all headed towards the front door
"Aye!" Happy enthusiastically chirped flying outside
"Yea…no" Lucy started off cheering before abruptly stopping in her tracks. Concerned I turn around to see why she had stopped and stated 'no' I was shocked to notice that her face had completely paled and her eyes had grown wide.
"Luce?" I questioned just before she quickly turned around and made a beeline for the bedroom bathroom. I ran after her immediately understanding what was happening. I had entered the bathroom just as breakfast had exited her stomach; I unconsciously cringed at the smell as I walked towards her placing my hand on her back as I gently rubbed her back.
"I thought I was over this" she groaned as I helped her stand back up. I watched her as she grabbed the cup that she now left in the bathroom and filled it with water rinsing the putrid taste from her mouth. I watched her silently already knowing how she disliked me seeing her in this condition.
"C'mon we should probably get going" I suggested after a minute of silence grabbing her hand
"yea"
We had just left the bathroom when I suddenly felt her hand jerk from mine before she had ran back into the bathroom locking the door. Seconds afterwards I could hear her emptying her stomach once more.
End Flashback
Normal POV
That was around two hours ago and it was now midafternoon.
Sighing to himself as he remembers the earlier events leading to the current situation, Natsu turned his attention back his current enemy the locked bathroom door.
"Lucy, Happy's gone to the wedding to let the others know that we won't be at the ceremony" Natsu informed the blonde through the door.
"What Natsu why would you…*blah*..do that, we can still..*urg* make it" Lucy whine from the bathroom as she was interrupted by her stomach.
"Lucy do you seriously think you're well enough to go to the wedding when you can even form and uninterrupted sentenced…and can you please let me in"
"….." Silence
"Lucy? Are you ok"
"…yea I know, I think it's over just give me a minute ok" She replied in a low voice
"ok" Natsu replied as he moved to sit on the bed with his feet touching the floor as he listened to his wife rummaging around the bathroom before hearing the lock.
*Click*
Lucy slowly walked towards her husband before placing her head on his shoulder in which he responded by bringing his arm to his rest on the back of her head.
"I'm sick of being sick" She whispered leaning into her husband more. "You sure you don't want to go by yourself" She asked causing Natsu to pull back so that they were making eye contact.
"Luce do you seriously think I would leave you alone like this" He stated in a serious tone.
"but as soon as we get to the after party Erza will be sure to make you pay for skipping the ceremony"
"Yea well, I would much rather face Erza than leave you alone like this" Natsu grinned at her "Besides we have Happy to explain as to why we didn't attend"
"hmmm thank you" Lucy replied as she snuggled back into his shoulder.
"Hey it's my job to protect and take care of you" The Natsu smiled down at her only to notice that the expecting Celestial mage had dozed off. Slowly easing her onto the bed, Natsu smiled as he left the bedroom to grab some food from the kitchen knowing that when he wakes her up to get ready for the after party she would probably be starving.
*Time skip at the after party*
Natsu and Lucy were both standing outside of the guild hall where the Wedding's after party was being held. Both of the mages were hesitant to enter the guild for they did just skip the wedding off two very close friends granted they had a good reason for it, but that didn't mean they still feared the wrath of the bride or Mira and Erza. Lucy took a deep breath as she felt the crisp winter breeze blow past them.
"Well might as well face the inevitable" the blonde muttered as she opened the guild doors gasping in amazement as Mira and Lissana had once again worked their decorative skills as the guild had been transformed into an amazing party room. The tables had been rearranging so that they were lined along the walls of the guild each with a beautiful silk cloth laid on top with dyed green roses mixed with white ones were laid out as centerpieces. Green and White ribbons were wrapped around poles and the railings of the staircases the whole guild hall was decorated.
"Wow, Mira and Lissana has really outdone themselves" She gasped.
"Yea it looks…oh shit" Natsu cursed in panic tone as a chair flew straight past him.
"NATSU, LUCY HOW DARE YOU SKIP OUT" Evergreen yelled as she strolled angrily towards the couple with Elfman, Mira, Lissana and Erza not far behind.
"Skipping is not man" Elfman stated in a less angered voice.
"Lucy you were meant to help us get everything set up" Mira joined in a disappointed voice
"And Lucy why aren't you wearing the dress we all agreed on?" Lissana added.
"Natsu, Lucy their better be a reasonable explanation for this" Erza mentioned as she eyed the two.
'What the hell I thought happy said he was going to tell them why we won't be coming till now' Natsu thought as he scanned the room filled of the members who were now focusing their attention on the late couple all awaiting their explanation, he quickly spotted Happy who was standing next to Charle and Wendy looking apologetic 'annnd he got distracted, figures' He thought before turning his attention back to his angered guild mates.
"umm well you see" He started as he brought his hand up rubbing the back of his head as he was at a loss for words not knowing if it was really the best to tell everyone why they were late since it may not be information Lucy didn't want to know and he rather face the angered guild than a pissed off pregnant Lucy.
"Gomenasai, Minna, it's my fault that we were late, my morning sickness was not its best today, we were all ready to go at the right time and I was also in the special violet dress that matched yours, heh we just got out of the door when my sickness showed its ugly face so..umm..yea long story short I was kind of stuck in a bathroom for a couple of hours and ruined the dress, and Natsu didn't want to leave me alone so he stayed with me, sorry" Lucy let out a shy laugh as she trailed off from the explanation.
"That's not an expectable reason to skip your own Nakama's wedding ceremony" Evergreen accused clearly pissed at the current situation. Knowing that the chances of this ending badly were pretty high both Natsu and Lucy turned their gazes to Lissana signaling to her to help them out knowing that she was currently the most reasonable one out of the lot, thankfully Lissana noticed this.
" Ummm Ever-san would you had rather Natsu and Lucy come to the ceremony and risk them interrupting the it to..ummm…. be sick or have them skip like they did, so that they didn't disturb it" Lissana tried to reason with the angered women, hearing this Evergreen took a deep breath.
"fine I suppose it was better that you two stayed away" the Brunette signed in defeat.
"That is a very manly reason" Elfman mentioned.
"Oh Lucy I'm sorry for accusing you of skipping without hearing your reasoning" Erza responded.
"I guess all in forgiven, but why didn't you let us know?" Mira questioned.
"Well I asked Happy to tell you guys but her apparently got distracted" Natsu bluntly stated as he gestured to Happy and Charle causing the small group to laugh.
"Hey all right you brats. Today has been a long and joyous one and for all of our guild members and in celebration a feast has been prepared" Master Makarov bellowed to all those present within the guild from up top the staircase railing, causing the Guild hall to erupt into cheers as everyone disperse and headed to their designated tables. As they were heading to their table Lucy quickly grabbed Lissana's wrist.
"Thank you" She mouthed to the takeover mage
"No problem" Lissana silently replied smiling at the celestial mage before they parted ways.
After everyone had eaten their fill of the feast and the toast to the nearly weds were made, it was time for Elfman and Evergreen to have their first dance as Husband and Wife, after the first song was over other couples within Fairy Tail had joined such as Bisca and Alzack, Gray and Juvia, Erza and Jellal, Levy and a reluctant Gajeel also joined in causing Jet and Droy to cry on the sidelines, after much convincing and begging Cana had agreed to a father daughter dance with Gildarts, Wendy and Romeo had also joined in the dancing both nervously blushing, while Happy and Charle danced next to them. Lucy watched as everyone dance so cutely together wishing that her feet weren't killing her otherwise she would had dragged Natsu to join in with the dancing although even if her feet weren't hurting she figured that her pregnant belly would still cause a problem with dancing. Looking around she quickly noticed Lissana staring nervously at Laxus, smiling to herself as she revised one of the many plans her and Mira had thought of. Getting up off her chair she walked over to the white haired girl.
"Neh Lissana why aren't you dancing?" She innocently asked.
"Oh umm I would love to but I don't really have a partner" Lissana smiled in reply.
"Eh! hmmm what about Laxus?"
"Wha…what about him." Lissana blushed at the name.
"Stop being so nervous and ask him." Lucy suggested in a stern voice.
"I can't just do that."
"Sure you can you just need a little push." Lucy smiled as she gently pushed Lissana causing her to directly bump into the Lighting slayer.
"Ah, Im so sorry Laxus I didn't mean to" Lissana panicked at the sudden close contact.
"it's fine Lissana, why are you so jumpy." Laxus retorted.
"Ahh well umm no reason" She replied before looking back at Lucy who was using hand gestures to encourage her onwards. "umm actually there is something, ummm would you mind sharing a dance since its kinda a wedding party and ummm it's my brother's party and Evergreen sees you as a brother so it why not join in" She stuttered out nervously while blushing profusely. At first Laxus was shocked at the sudden question before smirking.
"Sure why not" He answered as he grabbed the stunned girl and led her out to the floor. As she watched this Lucy felt overjoyed as the two walked hand in hand to start dancing, before she felt someone suddenly embrace her.
"I saw what you did there, im so proud of you, you have learnt well." Mira chirped as she let go of Lucy.
"haha well it's just a little bit of revenge for all the matchmaking hell that you two put me through with Natsu" The blonde laughed, before sitting down at the nearest table with Mira joining her as they started a conversation however after a few minutes they were interrupted by Freed who seemed rather nervous.
"Mira, as it would seem both Evergreen and now Laxus have been stolen by you fellow siblings so maybe I could try stealing you for a dance" He nervously asked the older shocked mage who quickly looked at Lucy who was equally shocked, before smiling.
"I would love to" Mira smiled as she took the hand that was offered to her sending a small excited smile back at the celestial mage.
'Wow this wedding party has practically killed two birds with one stone' Lucy thought to herself as she began to feel a bit drowsy as the slow music continued creating a calm aura with everyone dancing to the music, however peace never last, soon enough one of the members accidently bumped into another and so the traditional all out guild brawl had started, however Lucy didn't really seem to noticed as she felt herself drift off to sleep.
It was a good two hours before Lucy awoke, immediately realizing that she was no longer at the table in the guild but instead being carried by two strong familiar arms, smiling to herself she leaned into the embrace more.
"Oh Lucy, sorry did I wake you" Natsu whispered as he continued walking towards their small home
"No, it's fine" she sleepily replied before she felt I small cold drop on her nose "oh! Wow, it's snowing" Lucy stated as she looked up towards the sky watching the small flakes of snow drop.
"hmm so it is" Natsu replied.
"hmmm spring is only five weeks away" Lucy smiled as she watched the snow fall "that means that I'll be due in late spring" She continued smiling in excitement.
"Yea, it seems the months are flying by" Natsu grinned down at her.
"mmhhh only four more months, I can't wait" She yawned as she snuggled into the embrace before drifting into a soft slumber. Noticing that his wife was once again asleep Natsu smiled as he leaned down placing a small kiss on her forehead.
"Yea only four more months" he whispered softly as he continued walking home

Wahh finally finished this chapter. So happy took me ages to finish, I just found it so hard to write.
Well hope you enjoyed it anyway.
I'm kinda finding it rather hard to focus on anyone else than Natsu and Lucy at the moment since their main focus of this story but I'll try to involve the others more.
Also sorry for any OOC, I'm not to sure how im doing on keeping everyone in character right now.
Well until next chapter
