Natsu took her to Polyuska's house as quickly as possible, Polyuska ordered him to lie her down on the bed and began to look for things.

'' So it has begun ... '' muttered the old woman.

'' W-What about Lucy? '' Natsu sat beside the bed, clutching the hand of his wife.

'' Listen, boy. I'll confess it...it had been between us but ... '' Polyuska paused for a moment.

'' Just tell me she's okay '' Natsu replied looking at Lucy.

'' She's fine, but .. '' Polyuska looked sadly at Lucy.

'' Please ... please, what about my wife? '' Natsu asked.

'' She's pregnant. '' Polyuska approaching to Lucy said witha drug in her hand

'' P-Pregnant? '' Natsu looked at Lucy blushing.

'' That's right, you're going to be a father. '' The old woman replied without joy.

'' S-So she's just pregnant? '' He asked smiling.

'' She can't have that child, '' replied Polyuska serious.

''W-What ?! Who are you to decide that ?! '' Natsu yelled angry.

'' Listen, this child is growing in her womb is consuming her magic. You know what that means, don't you? '' Polyuska looked seriously at Natsu.

'' C-consuming magic? '' Natsu asked confused.

'' You're a dragon slayer, and even more, END. '' Polyuska continued seriously.

'' END was already purified, so if that was the pro- '' Natsu was interrupted.

'' END was purified, but you have renmants inside you. This human body won't resist; the creature need much magical power to get formed. '' Polyuska looking at Lucy replied.

''Y-You've got...to be k-kiding, right? '' Natsu gave a nervous laugh

'' The odds for her to survive...are low '' Polyuska said without a trace of amusement.

'N-No...this ... again... ...not again'' Natsu murmured grabbing her hand.

'' You have to convince her to desist from having this baby, for the sake of your wife'' Polyuska put a hand in the forehead of the blond.

'' D-Desist to have our son ...? ''Natsu asked about to mourn.

'' I'm sorry '' Polyuska pressed her hand against the forehad of the magician, and she woke up.

'' H-Hmmm ... '' Lucy opened her eyes.

'' Lucy! '' Natsu screamed with joy.

'N-Natsu' 'Lucy smiled.

'' Polyuska-san ... thank you '' Lucy smiled at the old woman.

'' I've done everything in my hands '' Polyuska said sadly looking at Natsu.

'' Lucy, you ... you're pregnant...isn't it great? '' Natsu told her faking a smile.

'' F-Finally '' Lucy smiled, running her hand through her belly.

'' K-know? I...I ... I've been thinking and ... W-Why ... Why can't it be just you and me? '' Natsu asked and his heart was crying.

''W-What are you talking about, Natsu?...The family we were waiting for is...here '' Lucy smiled to her belly.

'' A-About that ... we are already a family ... the two of us '' Natsu said about to mourn.

'' You're kidding, right?...W-What's wrong with you?! '' Lucy asked with fear.

'' I...I...I don't want you to have...the baby '' Natsu was split into pieces.

'' N...Natsu?...Don't you wanna have a family...with me?'' Lucy started to mourn.

'' P-Please ... don't have it '' Natsu said, clenching his fists.

'' No. I'll have my baby... '' Lucy said cleaning her face.

'' P-Please, Lucy '' Natsu tried again.

'' I'll have this baby ... I know you also want to have it, Natsu. You always wanted a family and I also so- '' Lucy was interrupted.

''A FAMILY?! '' Natsu angry stood up.

'' N-Natsu? '' Asked Lucy scared.

'' IF YOU'RE NOT HERE...IF YOU'RE NOT HERE IT WON'T BE A FAMILY! '' Natsu screamed and tears started coming out of his eyes.

'' Natsu '' Lucy grabbed his fist gently.

'' The chances of surviving are ... low, Lucy so- '' Natsu stopped short at the sight of a smile forming on Lucy's face.

'' Y-You already...knew... '' Natsu clenched his lips.

'' Natsu, we will have this baby together '' Lucy clasped their hands.

''Damn it! ...I-It's my fault! ... E-END is here ... END STILL HERE!'' Natsu pointed his thumb the center of his chest and tears were dropping through his face

'' No, Natsu. You're Natsu Dragneel my husband. '' Lucy pulled him gently to sit.

'' Forgive me ... I told you so many times I wanted a child and you ... and you knew ... I- '' Natsu's tears fell as he spoke, he stopped to feel the warmth of the hand of Lucy her cheeks.

'' This isn't for you, Natsu. I want a family with you. '' Lucy smiled, blushing.

'' I...I just don't wanna lose you ...again ... '' Natsu's voice was cut.

'' You're not going to lose me, Natsu. I promise '' Lucy sat down and pressed their foreheads.

'' No ... I don't want promises, just ... stay with me ... forever '' Natsu put his hands over those of Lucy as tears ran down her face.

'' I love you, Natsu '' Lucy kissed him.

'' I love you, Lucy '' Natsu answered the kiss with tears all over his face.

'' We will be alright, okay? '' Lucy parted his lips.

Natsu just nodded.

After this, Natsu and Lucy returned to the guild, everyone was shocked by the good news that the couple brought them, however ...

'' Are you going to have it, Lucy? '' Makarov asked seriously disrupting the happiness in the guild.

'' We'll have '' Lucy said serious.

'' Natsu? '' Makarov turned his face to the magician for an answer. But Natsu just looked down.

'' What's is the problem, Lucy? '' Levy approached.

'' It's complicated '' Lucy said smiling and looking at her belly.

'' The odds of survival are ...low '' Natsu's voice was cut.

''W-WHAT?!'' Everyone shouted.

'' Is that true, Lucy? '' Gray approached the magician worried.

'' That's right... '' Lucy looked at Natsu.

'' She doesn't listen me ... so please ... '' Natsu begged his friends.

'' Lucy, you can't have that child! '' Gray approached.

'' Lu-chan ... '' Levy looked sad.

'' I'll have it '' Lucy decreed serious.

''Lucy... '' Erza approached.

'' Lucy-san ... '' said Wendy sad.

'' Understood '' Makarov said seriously.

'' E-Eh? '' Everyone shouted.

'' She has made a decision, we can only support her as the family ...we are '' Lucy Makarov approached.

'' Thank you, master, '' Lucy bent to be high to the master.

'' Don't be overcome, do it for us ... do it for Natsu '' Makarov hugged her with tears streaming down her face.

'' I will '' Lucy said Lucy who now was like her father. While other members of the guild with the master cried.

They spent weeks and months, the belly of the mage grew and grew increasingly. Guild members went far to her apartment to visit and tell things that happened in the guild, Natsu never leaving his wife, she was already in bed, weak because all the magic the baby has been consuming from her.

One day before the birth, at night ...

'' Natsu, come here, '' Lucy said softly.

''D-Do you want me to sleep with you? Won't i hurt you? '' Natsu asked worriedly.

'' Forget about that '' Lucy said softly.

'' T-Then ... '' Natsu got into bed carefully. He put his hand on the belly of Lucy and settled his head in the other.

'' How do you feel? '' Natsu looked at Lucy.

'Excited' 'Lucy smiled.

'' I didn't mean that ... '' Natsu said and was silent.

'' I'll be fine '' Lucy smiled. And Natsu just nodded.

'' So girl, eh? '' Natsu went down to the belly of Lucy.

'' It's true, we have not yet decided the name. '' Lucy said as she placed her hand on Natsu's hair.

'' What about Igneela? '' Natsu asked seriosly.

'N-Natsu ...don't put your father's name as female!' 'Lucy said with a drop in the hundred.

'' The guys have written me several names, i'll right back '' Natsu rose gently.

Natsu went to the small bookseller of the magician, the small list of names was on the ground, bent down and took it, when he raised his body he hit the bookseller and from it dropped a top box with the letters of Lucy for Layla .

'' What's the matter, Natsu? '' Lucy asked from her bed.

'N-Nothing!' 'Natsu replied nervously.

Natsu began to collect all the cards, however, a letter with a recently date caught his attention and decided to take a look.

''Hi Mom!

Do you know? I couldn't write all this time, I was on my honeymoon, I've married!

I wish you were present, you make me much needed. Soon I'll be mother, can you believe it ?! Natsu and I will form a family as we wanted.

I already want to see her, hopefully it looks like you! I want to teach her a lot and want to meet her and know a lot about her, as her favorite color, her type of magic! her hair color! I hope it's Pink. I want to talk her about to and Dad, and tell the story you used read me , I want to teach her many things. Mom hope to be as good as you were.

Love, Lucy. ''

'' Natsu, you're taking too long! '' Natsu stopped reading.

'' Im coming! '' Natsu dried some tears that had fell down his face.

'' It took you a lot! '' Lucy reproached with arms crossed.

'' I'm sorry '' Natsu replied smiling.

''What's going on? Where is the list? '' Lucy asked looking at him.

'' It is not necessary '' Natsu went to bed gently.

'' So how our daughter will be named? '' Lucy asked excitedly.

'' Layla '' Natsu replied smiling.

'' Layla? '' Lucy asked confused.

'' Layla '' Natsu kissed her.

'' As my mother ... I see, thank you '' Lucy smiled.

'' I love you Lucy, so whatever happens, don't leave me '' Natsu hugged her.

'' I will always be with you '' Lucy said softly and slept.
