I bet y'all ain't expect me to update this early, lmao, neither did I.

So, apparently mood swings start as early as six days, for pregnant women - and i was like...damn.

I responded to some of your reviews (the non guest ones) but to all the guests, thank you for your lovely comments!

Shout out to brick452 because she helped me get on my laptop faster.

Let's begin...

The warm water beat against her back, and ran through her golden locks. Her milky white skin turned to an angry red, as the water heated up to an unbearable temperature. Lucy didn't mind, her mind was too far lost to comprehended the physical pain she was going through. Lucy's hand rested against her stomach, as her forehead leaned against the tiled wall.

Lucy had gone to the store earlier that day, and bought a couple pregnancy tests. Lucy was positive she was pregnant, but she just wanted to see it. And when all five came back positive, she continued on like everything was normal. Talked a lot, and even went downstairs to annoy Max. She was just trying to keep her mask on. She didn't want to be the center of attention, she didn't want Natsu worrying over her when he had to worry about the incoming war with Alvarez.

Lucy didn't want to be selfish.

At least that was until now, when she realized in this room, all alone—she could be as selfsih as she wanted. Lucy thought back to the day she killed her abusers, and had been wrapped up in Natsu's arms. She thought back to what he said.

"Cry."

Looking up, Natsu grows vexed at the blankness in her eyes. "Don't you think I've cried enough?"

"No." Natsu looks down at her with such an intensity, she's forced to lean away from him; "cry for yourself. Not for me, not for Fatima, the kids, or the asshole you killed. Cry for no one other than Lucy...just Lucy."

And Lucy did just that. Lucy didn't cry for the baby that wouldn't have a father, Lucy didn't cry for the baby that she was unsure on whether or not she'd be able to love—Lucy cried for herself. The salty tears entered her mouth, as she lost her footing and fell on the ground. Her silent sobs grew louder, she curled herself up in the fatal position, as the hot water continued to burn her.

Her head hurt, and her heart hurt. Her whole being hurt. Lucy was going to be a mother, she was going to mother the child of the man she loathed. Lucy could abort it, but it was probably too late, and a task such as that repulsed her. Lucy could give it up for adoption, and that was still a possibility. That would be the best option, but she knew she couldn't do that. Lucy could feel her mother's heated glare at her as she looked down at her from Heaven.

Lucy wouldn't abandon her child.

She'd try to love it, even if it hurt her.

Lucy's body shook harder as the sobbing increased, and Lucy ignored the pounding on the door. Natsu kicked the door down, as he looked for Lucy. He'd heard a thump, but paid no mind, then sobbing echoed into the room—and he knew she needed him. Natsu felt his mind fog up with anger, and his chest constrict as he looked at the girl. Natsu's first thought wasn't to turn off the water, but instead he covered her body with his own, knowing she needed his embrace, and wrapped his arms around her—as he shielded her from the damn near boiling water. Lucy sobbed and sobbed into his chest, and he simply cradled her bare body on his lap.

After her sobbing decreased, and Lucy passed out from exhaustion, Natsu turned off the water careful to not let it touch her red skin. He lifted her up, and carried her into their room. His blue feline quickly hopped off their bed, and let Natsu put Lucy on the bed, let her body lay against the red comforter. Natsu went to grab an ointment, and came back in just as fast. He squeezed out a lot, and proceeded to rub it all over her body. He ignored the tingling sensation he got as he touched her body, knowing this wasn't the time to be turned on. His eyes didn't linger on her perky bust, or the hardened pink buds resting on the middle. He didn't let his hands touch her groin, and stopped at her inner thighs.

Natsu wouldn't touch her, and when he finally does she'd be awake, moaning and trying to fight passing out. Usually they let themselves pass out, but his Busty was a fighter. Even when they kissed, she fought against his demanding tongue.

Natsu grabbed one of her panties, and a shirt of his for her to sleep in. After putting the items on her, he let her body rest under the covers, and wrapped his thick arm around her, letting his nose nuzzle her hair. Happy, hopped onto the bed and licked Lucy's forehead, Natsu put in some space between them so his friend could hop in.

With that, the two fell asleep with their favorite blonde.

Awkward was too little of a word to describe the atmosphere. Edgy, would be more appropriate. The others didn't know what was wrong though. It'd started when Natsu and Lucy woke up Natsu couldn't get anything from Lucy, as to what had happened last night. The others walked in to find Lucy sitting on one of the couches, with a blank expression whereas Natsu looked like one word and he wouldn't hesitate to end you.

Lucy ate her hot wing, dipped in jelly, in silence. Lucy didn't want him to be mad at her, but she couldn't tell him her secret. She was grateful he held her as she sobbed last night, but that wasn't supposed to happen. Lucy didn't even mean to cry, she just wanted to stop pretending everything was okay when it wasn't. But then Natsu's words hit her as hard as they hit her the first time, and she ended up a bawling mess.

"Boss, they're here." Aries said, surprisingly not stuttering. Natsu looked up with a nod, thanking her for the information, and to send them in. The double doors opened, revealing four people. The leader was obviously the big man, who had and air of authority surrounding him, like it was his bitch. He was big, with white skin, and red sunglasses. Long white hair, wrapped in a bun, and the weirdest mustache Lucy had ever seen. A woman with long blue hair that glared at anything and everything, a woman with pink hair up to her shoulders, that had the emptiest eyes Lucy'd ever seen. Lastly, was a tall man dressed in a dark suit, with a pair of dark shades.

The leader had a stare off with Natsu, and it didn't break as Natsu got up to the big man. The older fellow narrowed his eyes, tilting his head. Natsu's eyes remained blank, but held a bored expression. That's when the silence was cut off, the big man pulled Natsu into a side hug with a loud laugh. The latter simply let the man hug him, with a small smile. "Oh, you never fail to win our challenges Natsu!"

Natsu rolled his eyes, "that's because you don't intimidate me, King."

King, chuckled and looked around the room. When his eyes landed on a familiar face, his nose stung for a moment. His chest hurt, and he could feel his mind fogging up. Layla? Layla's alive? As he was about to ask the question, he was brought back to his senses by the pain in his arm. Looking down, he sees Natsu shaking his head at him, silently telling him no.

King furrows his eyebrows for a moment, if it's not Layla then—Lucy? They'd been informed she'd died. One of his family members told him she was assassinated by Zeref's second best killer, Acnologia. King damn near broke down at the news, hell, his inner circle did break down, but he had to remain strong for them. Yet, Lucy was standing in front of them in mint condition. King looked around and saw Aquarius' eyes widen as she stared at Lucy. Her tears ran down her cheeks with no restraint. Virgo's blank mask cracked, and her hands jumped up to her mouth as she gasped. Her legs buckled, thankfully Capricorn held her steady.

When King and Natsu met eyes once more, Natsu silently instructed him to keep quiet. King nodded, and with that he translated the message to his fellow brothers and sisters. "I-I..." Aquarius leaped for the door, and was followed by Virgo. Capricorn held his composure as he looked at the blonde girl that furrowed her eyebrows, sucking on the jelly covered chicken bone.

The others remained confused, and decided not to ask any questions by the look on their boss' face.

Well, excluding the filter-less blonde. "What the hell just happened? A-Am, I that ugly?" Tears started to stream down Lucy's face, as she shook with sobs. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean too!" She ate another wing with jelly while she sobbed. The people in the room looked confused as to why she was crying, the females in the room shared the same look.

Their assumption was right.

"Natsu, you're just going to be filling them in on what's happening and stuff right?" Erza zapped out, Natsu nodded. "Good." With that all the girls stood up and nearly dragged a blubbering Lucy out the room.

"My jelly, MY JELLY!" Lucy's sobs started getting louder, getting the attention of Aquarius, and Virgo as she was forced out the room. "MY FOOD! I'M SO UGLY I SCARED DEAD CHICKEN AWAY!"

The girls pulled up to an empty room, down at the floor Lucy used to live in, and sat her on the couch. The girls surrounded Lucy, with crossed arms, and with harsh glares directed at her. Lucy stopped her crying, and shrunk back into the couch. "What?"

"So, why won't you tell Natsu." Levy asked, holding her friends hand. Thankfully she washed the buffalo sauce, and jelly off her hand.

Lucy sniffled, "because he'll hate me."

Cana threw a chip at Lucy, the latter simply opened her mouth and caught it. "He won't hate you dumbass, you can't hate someone for being pregnant. It's not your fault anyway, you were raped." Lucy sighed and threw her head back, feeling emotional again. Lucy didn't realize her mood swings would come this early, it's barely been two months.

"He'll hate me because he'll think all I care about is myself, and even if he doesn't end up hating me, he'll be less focused on the upcoming war and more on me. I don't want to be the center of attention, I-I don't want him to die because of me." Lucy wiped off the tears that fell, "I don't want him to leave me."

Juvia shook her head, "girl, you're always the center of attention. But, it's okay, because you belong there. You're always gonna be first to him, because you also belong at his side. Natsu wouldn't hate you—he couldn't hate you, you're his heart. As long as you're vulnerable, he's vulnerable. We get that you're trying to protect him, but protect yourself, because Natsu Dragneel is man forged out of fire—he'll burn any motherfuckers, that try him to hell. Natsu doesn't love no weak ass hoe, he loves this strong ass bitch. You have his back, but let him get your back too—if not, you could possibly die; that'll crush his heart."

Lucy shook her head in denial, "Natsu may care about, but, I'm not his heart—like he is mine. And besides, th-the baby isn't his, so he won't accept it." Her voice cracked at the end of her sentence.

Mira wrapped her arms around Lucy's head, and her breasts muffled the blonde's sobs. "Baby girl, he loves you. And you love him, and nothing will stop him from loving that baby, even if it wasn't produced by him—it was still produced by you, and that's all that matters. I know you don't think he loves you, but we know he does, he just doesn't realize it yet."

"I gave you Natsu because I knew you could handle him, if not, I'd gladly take him back," Lisanna poked.

Lucy lifted her face from Mira's soft chest, "try me, bitch I dare you." Lisanna laughed at her threat, it was hard for her to be menacing when she had big puffy red eyes, with a side of red cheeks. Lucy just pouted, realizing she did that to get a rise from her. The girls talked about the gender of the baby and argued over godmother-ship. With the help of her friends Lucy made up her mind, she'd tell him.
