I'm sort of going into this area now...maybe a few more chapters on the kid and how they raise he/she? Or...them? ;) Hope ya like it!
Whereas Wendy got the excited squeals, hugs, and congratulations, Romeo took the brunt of the big news they'd just announced to the guild from her "brothers".
"She's pregnant?" roared Gajeel at him.
"You said you'd keep her safe," accused Natsu.
Romeo held up his hands in a sign of surrender (and also, in case one of them decided to jump, him he'd at least have a little protection). "Well…look at her!" he tried. "She's obviously happy!"
"She's a girl!" countered Gajeel. "Of course she's happy."
"Just wait," Natsu threatened. "In a few months she'll be sad, happy, angry, and really hungry all at the same time."
"Now that's punishment enough," snorted Gajeel.
After a small moment of silence, Natsu sighed and shook his head a little. "Wendy's pregnant," he muttered in disbelief. "And with Romeo…"
"You say it like it's a bad thing!"
Their glares told Romeo they thought it so at the moment.
Suddenly, as if noticing his look of fear-slash-desperation, Wendy swooped in with her cheery smile and sweet, still childlike voice, wrapping an arm around each of the other Dragon Slayers' shoulders. "Did you hear?" she beamed. She took their scowls as a yes and continued, "I'm so excited! I've always wanted a little child of my own!" She turned her brilliant smile on Romeo. "Aren't you happy, soon-to-be dad?"
Romeo grinned back at her. "Of course I am."
Her smile widened, her eyes shining and full of love. Then she turned to her still-frowning brotherly members. "C'mon, Mira said she's going to make a cake to celebrate!"
Natsu instantly perked up and ran off to try and convince Mirajane he could light the candles without setting the cake on fire again, while Gajeel just muttered an unenthusiastic "Woo-hoo," before setting off to find Levy and make sure her stomach was still of normal size. As soon as they were gone, Wendy stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Romeo's waist.
As he hugged her back, she whispered, "Don't worry, they'll be fine once they see our baby."
Romeo snorted. "They'll be praying it's a Dragon Slayer," he said, although he grinned.
"Or a fire mage," she added.
"Which is recessive?"
"How should I know?" Then she giggled. "What if he has your father's way with girls?"
"What if she decides to destroy a town on every mission like some of her nakama?"
They both smiled.
"Either way, it'll be the best Fairy Tail member ever," whispered Wendy.
"Of course." Romeo grinned toothily. "It'll be our kid."
