-Nashi Dragneel- Chapter 17

As Jonathan made it back to Sir Jackson, he explained everything that had happened and all the audio he had recorded in case they could use for blackmail. Everything on the audio seemed useless as both natsu and Lucy made it very clear who they were and what they agreed to in detail. Sir Jackson grunted in a angry grunt as he finally saw it wasn't going to be easy to bring Lucy and her father's assets to his side. They reasons why he was so desperate to have her as a wife we're clearly to gain more power than what his father had achieved and because of Lucy's 'mystery' pregnancy.

*(flashback)*

It was said that any celestial mage with great power would bare incredibly powerful children. Same case with Lucy's mother. Lila was a incredibly powerful celestial mage who was promised to the Jackson's. But somehow, they were beaten to the punch as the Heartifilia's had pulled some strings to earn Lila's hand in marriage. And this was to support the plan of opening the time capsule in a era full and rich of magic. Since then the Heartifilia's where a constant target by the Jackson's. This is why Jude went bankrupt because he lost many investors after his wife died and Jackson's picked up the pieces.

But after Sir Jackson heard a rumor about Lucy being pregnant he had some spies keeping an eye on her, till the fever incident took place. That moment when Lucy seemed to develop some sort of magical flames. Video evidence was collected as she clung onto natsu and was presented to Sir Jackson.

"Well I see…

*he gave a wicked grin*

If she's pregnant already with another basterds child i could careless, but if the rumors are true about celestial mages barring powerful children then.. that just changes everything… men? Wheres those documents that Jude had signed long before he went bankrupt? "

"Um… I believe we have it in a file back in magnolia sir. After you purchased the Heartifilia residence, all paperwork has been stored there."

"Good, I need some documents saying these conditions.."

*Jackson began listing off some conditions that were both in Lucy's and his favor, when finally he got to the end of the document he paused with a sinister smile*

"Have a letter traced in Jude's old hand writing and signature listing the following, that I, Jackson promise to marry Lucy and have her as the owner of her fathers stocks when she becomes my wife."

"But sir, she's pregnant already and married-"

"That doesn't matter! Money buys everything in the world we live in today! If anything I just want to use her as cattle to bore me a strong son. After that she can be tossed out or in slaved I really don't care, but I need a heir!"

With that everyone who were staff gulped in fear to hear what the poor girls fate has been sealed to.

-2 weeks later-

Lucy was growing more anxious as her due date came closer now. She was only 1 week away from delivering now. What she heard from levy was that delivery was very painful it was like pushing out big boulder's made of stone! But then again, her kids were indeed born with metal armor around their bodies very much like their father Gajeel who was so proud seeing his children already using magic.

Lucy has been having Braxton hicks though. The first time she experienced it was at the guild, she started realizing that everything happens in the guild now. She had freaked out and had punched natsu in the head giving him a concision as she screamed into his ear that the baby was coming! But porlyusica was nearby to calm her down and told her it was only Braxton hicks. She learned that day that when she goes into labor, she will feel a huge gush of water escape her bottom. Almost as the same feeling of peeing so to not be alarmed or ashamed of it.

Lucy was outside on the porch if natsu's house as she was having a calm time she watched as natsu worked outside too in the blazing sun but windy cold air. She never felt peace now as she has finally blown up so much like a beach ball, she felt like her skin would rip apart. But today was different not even Nashi was moving as much today, she just rocked in her rocking chair natsu built for her gently.

"Luce? You sleeping?.."

*lucy was woken up from her light nap as she opened her eyes greeted by a sweaty and handsome pink haired guy*

"Well hello there, do you need any help sir?"

*lucy thought it was a good time to play with natsu and taunt him on such a nice day*

"Hmm.. not really… I'm here looking for a Lucy Dragneel, have you seen her?"

*natsu following her drift sat in a chair next to hers cooling off a bit as he sat their closing his eyes waiting for her reply.*

"Hmm.. ah yes I seen her around, but whose asking?"

"Hm? Oh! Well her husband came by to check on her since she's pregnant with his first child so he's a bit worried about how it will go. He always brags about how pretty and beautiful she is~"

*natsu began his attack first to fluster Lucy but was no match for her*

"I see, anyways your not so bad your self I bet you'd make the perfect father if you ever found yourself a wife.."

*lucy chuckled now as she sat back feeling the wind pick up*

"No thanks, I already have a wife and daughter infront of me. I couldn't ask for anything else in the world <3"

*natsu spoke from his heart this time ending their little contest as he finished her with making a heart symbol with his thumb and finger to her*

"Your no fun! You know I can't win with your sweet words…"

"Then why do you start when you know the outcome already?"

"...., just GO TAKE A BATH ALREADY YOU REAK NATSU!!!"

*natsu smiled with a victory smile as he got up leaned the rocking chair she was in back to kiss her and left to go take a bath.*

2 minutes after lucy felt a strange feeling in her stomach as she probably thought it was Nashi moving but soon felt the peeing sensation they warned her about. There was no pain though it just was simply water, and she had managed to 'pee' in the comfortable rocking chair she was in. She took a deep breath in to calm her nerves and got up from her favorite seat. She made her way inside the house, she got a duffle bag that was filled with exercise equipment. She dumped everything on the couch they got and began to pack baby clothes they got from the baby shower, baby wipes and diapers. When she had done that, she went ahead to get some empty bottles and stuffed them in the bag. She also got a powder that she was told was formula in case the baby wouldn't breast feed so she stuffed that jar too. Finally she packed new clothes for herself, a baby pink blanket and a pacifier that had a little plush toy bear that looked like he was hold the pacifier. She looked around one last time to see if she got everything. She was satisfied and finally sat back on the rocking chair with the bag on the floor, she waited till natsu came out of his bath.

Natsu wasn't long after he finished his bath quickly hearing Lucy moving around the house then had gone outside again. He made his way with some baggy pants and a towel around his neck drying his hair a bit before firing it up to give it its spiky look. As he walked out onto the front porch shirtless he stared at lucy who was looking out. He spotted the duffel bag packed with things he didn't know had.

"You ok luce?.."

"natsu…"

*lucy finally turned to look at him with watery eyes, she bit her bottom lip now as she pouted at him*

"Woah!… Lucy!!! What's wrong?!! Do you feel sad? Does something hurt? Is it the Braxton dicks again?"

*this made lucy laugh now at how badly natsu was with names, she finally took some deep breaths in as she got up slowly with natsu as support.*

"Hehe… no natsu, .. I was just scared that's all… go get a shirt on natsu and a sweater we are leaving."

"Where are we going?? If you want to move to a new house don't worry, I'll build you a new house! Don't lift a finger!"

"No natsu, just go do that… we are going to go finally meet Nashi…"

*lucy blushed as she grabbed natsu's hand and guided it to duck under her belly towards her bottom of her dress so he can feel the wet fabric.*

"Don't tell me…. Is it already time?"

*natsu looked at lucy with expecting eyes, she smiled a bit but already feeling some contractions getting stronger she pulled a forced smile…"

"Yes…. Natsu,…. "

"Yes?"

"…. I'm scared…"

"Don't worry luce…. I won't leave you alone or let anything go wrong…"

*natsu brushed his lips on her forehead as he hugged her to his chest.*

"Your the most important, brave, and smartest person in my world… I know you can do it so don't be scared, if you need to hold my hand,

then you can. got it?"

*she nodded as her face was stained with tears now and she couldn't handle standing up anymore as she collapsed on natsu's strong arms.*

"LUCY!!!! HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE YOUR WATER BROKE!!!!"

"Only about maybe 30 min?…."

*lucy said dryly with a hint of humor hiding her scared, shy face*

"LUCY!!! FINE LET ME GO GET SOMETHING AND IM CARRYING YOU TO THE GUILD!!"

Lucy didn't protest as natsu ran inside throwing on his scarf only grabbing a baby basket he made a few weeks ago and dash outside with a wheel chair. He probably thought that it would hurt lucy more if he princess carried her again and what would he do if Nashi decided to be born in the forest?! He didn't have time to think about that option as he lifted lucy into the chair threw on the duffel bag, basket and began the bumpy journey through the forest from his house to fairy tail. He worked up a sweat again, as lucy began panting and taking deep short breaths holding her belly and the chair she was in.

*she really didn't want to deliver, she was so scared. That's probably the reason why natsu was in a rush now pushing her through a un-tamed path to the guild where porlyusica has been living/spending most of her time this last month. Lucy knew that porlyusica was waiting for lucy to finally 'ding' to take out the biscuit out of the oven. She trusted her too, the thing was that she didn't know how it was going to happen. She was scared of the unknown.*
