12 Chapter 12

Natsu's POV

I don't really care that everyone is uncomfortable but I stay there kneeling by Lucy's side as I feel her slowly fall asleep. My forehead resting against hers as I purr the melody; it was a simple dragon's lullaby that uses purring to not only calm her but to pull her into a light sleep. It's primary use is to calm a dragon's young or their mate so as to prevent them from going into an extended hibernation.

'It's okay, I'll carry you home.' I tell her with my thoughts and she finally rested her eyes, purring in time with me until she drifted off into a light slumber.

I had felt her pulse quicken, and her rage flare, the snarl was nearly to her lips. None were good signs. If angered enough she could hurt one of our friends and she wouldn't even realize it until afterwards. She would have been acting on pure instinct. So I sang her the old lullaby to put her at ease again. I continue to purr a short while longer after she falls asleep because I don't want her to wake up until we are home. I then told Mira to just pack the food we had ordered and we would take it home. Somehow I never stopped purring even while I spoke.

She nodded and left. I glared at Grey, "What?" I asked him. His face had that annoying confused look.

"What did you do to Lucy?" I groan why does he have to ask questions all the time?

"I sang her a lullaby, why?"

"But I didn't hear-"

"A dragon lullaby!" I cut him off whisper yelling at him.

"Oh," I roll my eyes at him. How was he my best friend again?

"Oi, make sure everyone is quiet when I carry Luce out," I picked up my queen bridal style and grin to myself. I think I know exactly how I want to wake her up, sleeping beauty style.

Grey nods and runs off to do what I asked. Maybe that's why he's my best friend? He knows when I actually need him to do something and just does it. Doesn't stop me from wanting to punch him most of the time though.

As I walk through the door I give both Levy and Gajeel a weird look, lifting one eyebrow. I don't like being confused and even further I really don't like the thought of being disobeyed when it came to the dragon's way of doing things.

"We waited so we could obey the command about the wedding next week," Gajeel spoke so quietly that no one else could have heard him. I barely heard him. I nod in agreement and walk on.

I slowly walk out and Mira gives me a super size bag to carry home I raise an eyebrow at her and just nod. Sometimes I just wanted to hug her, like now when I see that she actually doubled mine and Lucy's food order, I walk out of the silent guild. I pull my wings out and slowly, making sure to be gentle, I carried my mate and babies home.

I would be lying if I said I didn't miss Happy, because I do a lot of the time. But he knew this day would come eventually. When a dragon mates it is not safe to have others too close. He has been staying with Wendy and Carla and to be frank right now I could really use a fishing trip with my buddy.

'Then go out for a few hours tomorrow,' I hear Lucy tell me through our minds.

I grin at her, 'Yes, less than a week before the wedding and I'm going to go fishing with Happy, my best friend and adoptive son, while my mate destroys everything trying to find me.' My sarcasm was playful yet scary with how truthful it was.

I can hear her scoff through our thoughts. 'I have a great idea! Make love to me until I can't feel my legs anymore and sing me another lullaby, I really liked it and then go fishing.'

'Did you now?' I smirk as I land in front of our door. I could feel myself getting harder as I walk, still carrying my mate, to our kitchen.

'Yes, I really did, it was so very sweet.'

I smile at her resting face. 'Do you want to eat before bed?' I ask her.

'Yes, I'm starving!' was her immediate response.

I chuckled out loud and set her down in the kitchen chair pulling her in for a passionate kiss, my hard on had been slowly softening, not anymore. When I finally pulled away for air I saw Lucy's eyes open at the break of the contact. "Let's eat." I whisper seductively in her ear before pulling away and setting the bag Mira gave me down on the counter.

I smile and take our babies to the nursery and set them up with new kindling and light it. Once I was sure they were evenly covered by the flames I returned to the kitchen and sat across from my mate.

"Leave anything for me?" I ask only half joking. Lucy looks up and smiles handing me what was probably half of the pork steak, mashed potatoes, green beans, creamed corn, rolls and carrots. I look up to see that she was currently eating about half the plate of chicken alfredo.

I chuckled a little before digging in. We ate quickly and I made sure to get the pickles and topping for Lucy to munch on while I finished eating my own food. Thank Mavis, Lucy was satisfied I was just as hungry since neither of us have eaten since the bananas this afternoon.

Lucy and I quickly cleaned up our mess and I decided to wrap my arms around her middle as she washed the few dishes that we had made. I rested my chin in the curve of her neck and just breathe her in. Her scent drives me wild but at the same time it seemed to calm me down bringing me back down to earth. I sigh out content with how perfect my life has become in such a short time.

"What's wrong?"Lucy asked me.

"Absolutely nothing," I take a deep breath in again before adding, "I was just thinking about how perfect our life is now." Lucy giggle at me blushing a little as I started to kiss along her neck just below her jaw.

"I need something," I froze as I hear my mate say those words.

"What?" I ask when she didn't say right away.

"Ice," I frown at her response and open the freezer and give her a couple cubes of ice. She then frowns and shakes her head. "And fire," she adds.

"I'm confused," I say as I put the ice back away.

She thinks for a while and I see as a light seems to have come on behind her large honey brown eyes. I could stare into her eyes all day everyday and then she says something that I have never wanted to hear before nor ever want to hear again. "I need Gray."

"What?" I am hoping I heard her wrong. I must have because why would she need Gray?

"I need his magic," she clarified seeing the look in my eyes. "And I need yours too." I'm more confused but nod anyway. "Can you go and get him and bring him back? It's still pretty early only 3pm," Her voice is so sweet as she asks me for another man. I know I'm being silly but why would she need Gray's magic and mine?

Confused I just nod my head and say, "If that's what you really want?" I look at her again and she is almost jumping up and down with excitement. That is definitely a yes.

I turn to leave out the door when I feel her grab me and pull me into a rough kiss. I melt and kiss her back with enthusiasm. We only pull away because we are gasping for air. "Hurry back and when he leaves I'll give you an extra special thank you," she purrs seductively into my ear. I grin as she pulls away stealing another kiss before she gets to far.

"I'll be back very soon," I promise as I run out of the house soaring into the air and speeding into the guild hall.

I didn't even put my wings away as I came crashing in through the doors. Those doors really take a beating I vaguely think to myself. I must have been some sight too, my guild mates froze what they were doing and were staring at me. My scales were still out as well as my wings, although I had them folded at the moment. I finally see the ice princess and storm towards him grabbing him and dragging him outside. "Your coming with me," I say ignoring his protest as I raise my wings and sprint into the air. Gray dangling from my hands.

We arrive at my house and I put away my wings before dragging Gray inside. I heard him whistle and realize that this is his first time coming over since we moved in. I am still pulling him with me as I go to the kitchen. "I'm home and I have him!" I yell out.

"Yay!" I hear Lucy's happy squeals in the kitchen, right before we walk in.

I drop his arm and gently wrap my mate into my arms kissing along her neck once again. I hear her sigh out happily and relax into my arms. I can only guess that she is happy with me from how her purrs seem to have deepened and grown steady. I sigh out loud happy that she was happy.

"Why am I here?"Gray asked both confused and awkward as he looked around the large kitchen trying not to look at us.

"I should have figured he wouldn't have told you," I frown a little as Lucy said that, did I mess up?

Lucy's POV

"I should have figured he wouldn't have told you," I say as I see Natsu's frown. I lean over and kiss him sweetly, dispelling it leaving a small smile in its place.

I look back at Gray, "I have a favor to ask both of you," Gray still looks a little confused but nods and waits for me to continue. Natsu is just waiting to hear what I could possibly need; he looks ready to run to the moon and back. I giggle at the thought. "I'm craving frozen fire and I think you two can pull it off."

"What?!?" They both yell startling me.

I flinch and Natsu tenderly kisses along my ear whispering apologies making Gray more uncomfortable.

"Please at least try?" I give them my largest puppy dog eyes.

"How," Gray starts.

"We can try, but I can't promise anything my queen. As much as I want to give you the world." Natsu interrupts him. Natsu is so intently focused on me that he doesn't even see Gray looking at him like a crazy person. "I remember one mission where we had to go and retrieve frozen fire so worse case I can head out and find some of that," he adds with a smile. Gray seemed to remember that mission because his face seemed to say, oh yeah, while he shut his mouth.

"Thank you," I kiss him gently, "but I will be happier if it's your fire." My words seem to have quite a large effect on him as he then turns to Gray.

"Okay Stripper, let's do this," Natsu lights a flame on each of his palms only a step or two away from Gray.

"I think your crazy,"he mumbles as he then tries to freeze Natsu's fire, the first few times either putting them out or melting.

I look upstairs and towards our bedroom. "I'll be right back, the babies need more fire." I left the kitchen.

I returned several minutes later after restocking the kindling and giving my babies a nice long blue fire to hold them over while the new kindling got going, I might have been gone an hour. "YEAH!" I hear the two men call out as I step into the kitchen they were in the middle of a high five when I saw a large chunk of ice on the counter with a large blue flame inside, the flame looked as if it were still flickering in the ice.

I smiled, they figured it out. I walk over and take a bite, thankful for my now much sharper dragon slayer teeth, as my fangs easily cut into it. I chew for a minute and my smile grows even larger. "This is perfect!" I yell out and throw my arms around Natsu giving him a deep kiss and I grab Gray around the neck and pull him in for a hug while I'm still in Natsu's arms. The men were not comfortable with this, but allowed it anyway.

I let them go and look up into their eyes and asked, "Can you two make a bunch of these?" I was putting my puppy dog eyes to work today. "Frozen fire is exactly what I needed for the babies," I see both men's shoulders relax as they realized it was a pregnancy craving and they proceeded to fill a deep freezer full of them so that I would have as many as I could possibly want. I continued to eat them as they were making them and they just laughed at me.

Natsu's POV

I watched as Lucy happily ate the first frozen fire while Gray and I worked hard to make more of them. It was hard and took a lot of energy but we managed to create a fairly large stock in the freezer for Lucy. It was maybe half full but Gray promised to come over everyday to help fill it so that Lucy would be happy. He smiled at her; I could see the love in his eyes but his smell was not of a horny man but more like how Macao smelled when Romeo did something cool. I guess that's pride or maybe love as a father. I smile; so he Gray sees Lucy as family huh?

"So Gray, are you ready to meet your nieces or nephews?" I ask him as I held Luce in my arms we are all still standing at the island counter in the kitchen.

"Nieces? Nephews?" I see him gulp some air.

I grin before I ask, "yeah do you want to look in on them now?"

He slowly nods and I lead the way after kissing Lucy on the cheek. I take him to our bedroom and we walk quietly over to the nursery. I watch as Gray's eyes widen at the view before him. There in the center of the room was a black wire bassinet with the eggs glowing in the fire the padding of the bed replaced with kindling to help feed the fire. While it was in the center of the room he walked around it and looked around him.

The room was a soft green with murals decorating the walls. All four walls had a different scene on them. The far wall opposite the doors had a view of the beach with the sun bright and shining over what looked like large waves that were about to crash into the room. The bottoms of which were decorated with white sand. I watched as Gray actually reached out to touch the wall and turned to his right to see the other wall's mural.

This one had the green of the forest; many trees and plants decorated with birds and bugs and several lizards. There was even a little Happy munching on a fish sitting in a tree in this one. Surrounded with flowers both in the trees and on the ground.

Gray looked behind him at the other wall this one was covered in a view of a river stream with a soft grassy bank you could even see a couple of fishing poles with their lines out in the water the breeze shifting the once still waters as the night sky over head showed a bright full moon above.

I saw Gray look towards me and I grinned a little, knowing what was on this wall. It was a scaled down version of Igneel so that my babies would know what their grandfather looked like. I could see Gray's mouth gape open as he inspected the bright red scales and the yellow of the eyes of my father his neck arching over the doorway his teeth showing in a toothy grin.

Then Gray looked at me and I smirked at him and pointed up at the ceiling lifting my chin to motion for him to look up. He did the entire ceiling was curved and covered in what appeared to be the night sky. Every constellation showing bright as Lucy's zodiac were brighter than they actually are in the night sky. Otherwise it was a perfect replica.

Gray looked at me again and he smiled, "So nieces or nephews?" He asked.

I nod and smirk at him. "Well you know Uncle Gray, they will need someone to help cool them down when their tempers get the best of them," I playfully punch him in the arm.

I watched as he smiled a truly bright smile. Normally he just grins or smirks but this was a true smile all his teeth were showing and his eyes lit up. Shit I did the bro thing didn't I? I tried to get angry with myself to ruin it somehow but I couldn't. I just really didn't want to. The thought that my best friend was truly happy at the thought, just the thought mind you, of being called Uncle it had me beaming with pride.

"Does that mean I can help teach them and watch them, or take them fishing?" he asked a little overexcited.

I laughed at him nothing small either, I had tears coming out of my eyes and I grab him with one arm around his neck when I was finally able to breathe again and said, "Not only can you, but we expect you too. We also expect you to get your fair share of diapers."

My laughter was brought to a halt when I felt my mates arms around my waist. I lifted the arm not around Gray so that she could snuggle into me. 'God father?' she asked me.

I nodded and asked 'God mother is Levy right?' she nodded and pushed me gently closer to Gray who was trying to get out from under my arm.

Instead of letting him go I tightened it, hearing him groan and look up at me annoyed. I ran the fingers of my free hand through my hair. "So Gray what would you say if I asked you to be my babies God Father?" My voice dropped and I stared him in the eyes.

This was not an easy request, I knew. Lucy and I work in a very dangerous line of work, so did Gray for that matter, and there was a real possibility that Gray would one day need to take our kids in. A fact Gray knew all to well. I watched intently wanting to see his reaction for any hint of denial but what I saw instead kind of scared me.

Gray looked like he was just told he was going to be a father himself. His face was covered in shock and glee. Yes glee that is the right word he looked like he was about to jump up and down and scream at the world that he was going to be a father.

"Me?" I could barely hear him as he looked at me with wide eyes he didn't seem to be able to believe that I, Natsu Dragneel, trusted him that much with my unhatched children.

I slowly nodded my head to verify. "Aye you, Gray Fullbuster, will you be my children's god father?" I say out loud.

"I would be honored," his voice is so soft I feel the urge to punch him. I don't. I don't want to ruin the moment and Lucy would probably kill me if I did.

I smile at him instead and pull him with me towards my babies and their bassinet. Their shells were glistening in the fire light it was actually really hard to make them out in the fire their coloring blended right into the flames themselves. I extinguished the flames and looked worriedly to my mate. She just nodded her head and motioned for me to go ahead as she sat down on a little wooden rocking chair that we had only gotten the previous day. She slowly rocked back in forth as if she were trying to lull our babies to sleep.

I took a deep breath and picked up my babies and looked at Gray. "Do you want to hold them?" I ask again searching for any signs that he didn't. Again I was shocked to find that not only were there none but instead there was actual joy on his face at the thought.

"Yeah," his response was quite and he awkwardly held out his arms and Lucy came over and corrected his arms as I slowly handed him our babies.

"Repeat after me," Lucy tells him. He nods his head and looks to her. " I, Gray Fullbuster, solemnly swear that I will look after the Dragneel babies as if they were my own children for the rest of my days, as long as I am able, and as long as I have only their best interest at heart, as their God Father. May Mavis never allow me to break this vow."

Gray did as he was told and when it was evident that Lucy was done he added, "I'll love them forever." he promised us and Lucy and I smiled at each other wrapping our arms around each other watching as Uncle Gray cradled them in his arms. A bright yellow light dazzled around him without him noticing as the vow was bound to him and our young. I noticed that Lucy and I also had a faint glow around us and I realized that Lucy said Dragneel babies. That would include any other future children as well.

'Did you mean to do that?' I ask meaning the glow around us.

'Not really but I'm glad that it worked like that my celestial magic is bound by contracts so sometimes it is a little too literal.' I hear her response.

I cuddle my mate in my arms as we watch our babies being cuddled by their uncle. I'm glad that he loves them so much already; it made me feel a little safer about their futures. I smile purring when all of a sudden I hear a very different purr like sound in the room. My eyes shoot up to find that Gray is trying to purr to our babies. I chuckle a little and curl into Lucy's neck line again. Somehow it was fitting.

Lucy's POV

I watch from Natsu's arms as Gray handles or sweet babies. I can't believe Gray looks so happy. I figured he would be proud but this is on a whole different scale. He looks so enchanted by them. I lean into Natsu's chest.

I'm starting to feel horny and wondering when I can actually kick Gray out of the house without being rude when I hear another male purring. Gray is actually purring, badly but he is purring none the less. Guess I can't kick him out for a while now. Oh well I'm still waiting on Levy to get here so we can repeat the process with her. Gray will still have to leave before then though.

I love the feel of Natsu holding me and I kind of just melt into his arms. I close my eyes and respond to the purrs of my mate. The room seemed to echo with so many people purring but it sounded nice. I watch as Gray sits down in the rocking chair still holding my babies. Levy did say she would be late, something about a date.

"I'm tired," I say so that both Natsu and Gray could hear me. "Gray you can stay for a while if you like just make sure so light them a fire before you leave. Natsu and I are going to sleep until Levy gets here. Don't tell her, I want it to be a surprise." Gray nods with a smile still plastered to his face.

I'll tell Gray later that by becoming a God Father to dragons he is given dragon slayer magic that compliments his own. Levy however will not because she is going to be the mate of one. The magic itself won't activate until after the babies are born anyway. So Levy will already have Gajeel's magic by then. Gray the ice dragon slayer, I chuckle to myself a little he already has ice demon slayer magic and his original ice make magic; but with that kind of logic Natsu wouldn't be able to use lightning, God, or dragon king slayer magic.

I pull Natsu next door to our bedroom. He only hesitates for a moment when he realizes that I really only want to sleep until Levy gets here. I'm tired and as horny as I am I will get myself some when she leaves. For now though I just wanted to cuddle in his arms. I smile until I had a weird thought enter my mind.

Did we just create a new dragon slayer for real? If so we need to take Gray somewhere to train properly so that he doesn't hurt either himself or others. I smile again, he will go and do what we ask after all it's for the babies.

I curl into Natsu still fully clothed because Gray is just sitting in the rocking chair in the nursery. Should we close the door? No them he would never leave thinking we were having sex. As much as I wanted it I did not want Gray to either hear nor witness it. Arg!

Natsu's POV

I softly chuckle to myself. Lucy's inner dilemma is both crushing and amusing. I know she wants sex but I also know she is tired. We would never finish before Levy got here and her health is far too important to me. I'm not even conflicted about it to be honest. Yeah sex would have been nice but not at the expense of her health. My earlier horniness all but forgotten as I hold her in my arms.

I sing her the dragon's lullaby again this time knowing she will sleep deeply with her full stomach. I feel her hum/purr contently before she drifted off to sleep. I'm fully awake and just watch her sleep for a while. How is she so perfect?

My song still filling the room for my mate the soft echos of the purr resounding off the earlier notes as if creating a chamber of music. Even Gray should be able to hear the notes now. His dragon slayer hearing won't kick in for many months but the way I designed this room was to perfectly compliment the dragon songs. Oh there are lots of songs. But Lucy said she liked this one and she needs to sleep so it's perfect. When she wakes up maybe I'll sing her a different one?

"Wow," I look up having forgot Gray was sitting so close by and that I had left the nursery doors open. Gray had apparently put my eggs down and I could hear the gentle crackle of fire in the other room. He must have just put them down.

I just look at him and when he didn't say anything else I gently tucked a loose stand of hair from Lucy's face behind her ear. I kiss her temple and continue purring. Gray is no longer a threat not in the least. Now that he is my babies God Father he is simply family now. I don't even know if I can fight with him now. Well maybe yeah it is something we have bonded over so it should be fine.

"It was a beautiful song, I'm sorry I interrupted;" Gray says making his way across our room to the door leading downstairs. I hold back a groan and pull myself away from Lucy making sure not to wake her.

I hold a finger to my lips and motion for him to follow me silently. I lead him downstairs and into the living room. He taps my shoulder pointing to the kitchen and I shrug and follow him in. Once inside he faced me, "You think you can keep up and make more?" He asked in a teasing tone.

I grin at him, "As long as you can ice princess." We went about creating a bunch more of the frozen fire for Lucy until I hear the door bell. Gray starts putting them away while I go and get the door. It's dark outside now like really dark. Fuck how long has the stripper been here?

Levy is at the door. Shit! Gray needs to leave now. He can't be here for this. It is super personal and it can lead to a fight right after the fact. I smile at her, "Hey Levy, come on in." I usher her in and show her the living room. "I'll go get Lucy I will only be a minute," I tell her. First I go to the kitchen and find Gray all done putting away the frozen fire.

I motion him to secretly leave out the kitchen door after explaining that Levy was here. He seemed confused as to why I was acting so weird but nods anyway. He didn't make a fuss and left out the kitchen door that Levy had entered the other night. Thank Mavis, then I rushed upstairs telling Lucy about Levy as I went. She was already freshened up and at the bedroom door when I got there.

When we entered the living room we found Levy nose deep in a book that I had 'forgotten' to put away before answering the door. It served it's purpose well, giving me a few minutes.

"Levy!" Lucy sang as she went running to her friend. I tensed a little bit I refused to act on it. Soon she will be our babies God Mother and this feeling will simply go away; but until then I can't help but see her as a possible threat.

I went into the kitchen and made some chamomile tea and brought it out on a platter with Lucy's frozen fire that she asked for while I was making the tea. For good measure I also brought it a small plate of cookies. Small by my standards not the girls.

I couldn't help but grin when Lucy squealed in delight at the spread I brought with me, placing them on the coffee table. She immediately grabbed the frozen fire and took a large bite out of it. Levy laughed at how silly Lucy was being over ice, she hadn't realized yet that there was fire in the ice, as she grabbed a cookie and a cup of tea using honey to sweeten it and drizzle on the cookie. I make both Lucy's and my own cups and follow suit with the cookies. Honey was a good idea.

After they chatted for a while I heard Lucy's belly grumble a little. Her face gets that cute sweet pink tint on it and I look at the clock is almost 10. "I'll get it," I tell her as I kiss her forehead and go into the kitchen. I bring out both pickles and whipped topping as well as a couple chunks of frozen fire before turning to the kitchen and I put a couple lasagnas in the oven to heat up slowly and I take a third and use my own fire to heat it up quickly for now.

I grab the plates and forks and a serving spatula and while still holding the piping hot food in my bare hands I return to the living room. We eat and are generally having a good time. I do get up once to get the rest of the food and return with them. Levy made jokes about how great of a house wife I had become. Lucy growled protectively at her and then they both burst out laughing.

"So Lu-Chan, can I ask something that's been bothering me?" Levy asked nervously while I cleaned up our dishes and brought fresh tea and more cookies while I went to do the dishes.

I could still hear then perfectly from the kitchen but pretended I didn't as I finished the dishes.

"Of course Levy! Anytime," Lucy responded. I can almost see her smile as I heard her talking.

"Well," Levy hesitated then, "Does it hurt?"

Lucy's POV

"So Lu-Chan, can I ask something that's been bothering me?" Levy asked me her sweet smile was covered with a heavy blush. Natsu had thankfully left the room.

"Of course Levy! Anytime," I say while munching on the last of the frozen fire.

"Well," Levy hesitated then, "Does it hurt?"

"What?" I ask as I then pop the last piece in my mouth.

"Losing your virginity," She said so quietly but I heard it and started to choke. 'Stay out!' I yell at Natsu with my mind as I felt him about to burst through the doors.

I get control of myself and look at Levy I focus on her face noticing that not only is she red but she is trembling. Is she really that afraid? "Levy," I start and grab her hand in mine.

She looks up at me her eyes huge and watery she was doing everything she could not to cry. I sigh and pull her head to my chest and cuddle her a little too comfort her. I barely register that I am purring until I let her pull away she wipes her eyes and looks up to me again. "Does it?" She asked again.

I look at her again maintain eye contact, "It should never hurt," I tell her.

"But I read that woman bleed their first time and that it hurts," her tears were running free, leaving wet trails down her cheeks.

"Levy, sex is never meant to hurt. It can if your not ready yet but that is what foreplay is for. To get you ready," I hand her a tissue and wait for her to clean her face and look up at me again. "Sex is a beautiful way to show your mate how you truly feel about each other. You get to touch and caress them in ways only you can. If you don't get wet enough on your own there are stores that sell sex related items such as lube and even toys." I tell her. I try not to over burden her with too many details. "There is no shame in buying these items. Sex is supposed to feel good and always be consensual." I take her hand in mine, she is still trembling.

"Stay right here I'll be right back," I tell her as I run out of the room. I find my little bag of personal items and pull out a gentle formula, unopened, bottle of lube and race back downstairs to my friend. "Here," I hand her the little bottle closing her fingers around it. "Just in case," I smile at her.

"Why do you have it? Are you not wet enough?" she seemed awed but I giggle at her.

"No, no Natsu gets me so wet I feel like a fountain sometimes," I say still giggling. 'A fucking delicious fountain,' I hear Natsu in my thoughts. I try to ignore it as heat coils between my legs. Fuck I'm horny.

"I bought it before Natsu and I got together because I was afraid of it hurting too." I confess in her. "They always say that sex hurts the first time but they are wrong. If the man does his job properly then there will be no pain. None," I reassure her. Levy's eyes had dried up and she was clutching the little bottle as if her life depended on it.

"Thank you," she whispered so quietly. I only nod my head in response. Sometimes I wonder why such terrible lies circulate as truth when the real truth is not nearly so scary. Must be a way they keep woman from having sex. I think to myself remembering my old life as a wealthy heiress; woman were treated as objects most of the time bought and sold for money, power or status. I cringe at the thought. It was worse in the past.

I look at Levy and smile again, "Would you like to meet your nieces or nephews now?" She smiles her little Levy smile and bobs her head up and down. "Let's go then." I pull her up holding her hand and lead her to the the nursery. Natsu comes out of the kitchen smiling like a regular prince charming and followed us upstairs. The cheeky dragon was obviously listening in on us.

I let Levy inspect the murals on the walls just like Natsu had done with Gray and I can't help but giggle when she had turned around jumped and squeaked when she saw Igneel's portrait. I let her examine to her hearts content she walked up to each one looking as close as she could. When she was done I just held up one finger pointing to the ceiling and she looked up in aww as she saw the constellations above.

I guess Gray decided the nursery need a little something extra because now attached to the bassinet was a little mobile made of ice. The decorations included dragons, a cresent moon and stars, and little statuettes of fire flames. I guess he used his demon slayer magic because it wasn't melting from the fire below it. I grinned he must have worked on it for a little while before he left; the figures were beautiful.

I gently handled the little thing and Natsu came up behind me doing the same. I guess he hadn't seen it yet either. He began to purr a sweet song I hadn't heard yet but I listened intently as I snuggled in his arms.

Levy looked around and then looked at us, "So where are they?" she asked I giggled a little while Natsu chuckle. I swallowed the flames extinguishing them and proudly show off the still glowing eggs. The glow faded as time went on and I picked them up, they were still cool to the touch.

I looked up at Levy, "Would you be our babies God Mother?" I ask her my voice timid. She is my best friend why am I so afraid of her saying no all of a sudden?

She screamed and started jumping up and down hysterically. Why did I ever doubt? I think to myself I smiled gently as I waited for her to settle down. When she did I was going to ask again but she beat me to it, "Yes! Oh my Mavis yes I would love to be their God Mother!" She practically screamed in my ears. I flinch a little and she apologized quickly her smile never leaving her face. Her smile was so huge in fact I don't think she could close her mouth, all her teeth were showing as she smiled.

Natsu can't help but chuckle and I join in. after a while we finally stop and I look at Levy again, "Would you like to hold them?" I ask her motioning to my eggs. She bobs her little head up and down so far it is a little past ridiculous. I laugh again and hand her one egg at a time fixing her arms when needed so that they were adjusted correctly.

"Now repeat after me," I tell her very serious now.

"I Levy McGarden solemnly swear that I will look after the Dragneel babies as if they were my own children for the rest of my days, as long as I am able, and as long as I have only their best interest at heart, as their God Mother. May Mavis never allow me to break this vow."

When I was done Levy added, "I will always cherish them." the feeling yellow light that once surrounded Gray now surrounded Levy. After a while of watching Levy I noticed a distinct sound. She had been trying to purr.

I joined her reinforcing the concept that purring was just as important as singing. Natsu joined in as well, to be fair she was better that Gray at it. But that might just be because she was going to be mated to a dragon alayer herself soon. But I guess that doesn't really matter until after she does it.

I sigh out content, but now I'm even more exhausted. I start to get dizzy and I lose my balance. The next thing I know I'm in Natsu's arms just barely conscience. I look into Natsu's worried eyes and give him a small grin. 'I guess I over did it a little huh?' I ask to tired to say the words out loud.

"Yep, I guess I'll forgive you this time though," I hear the grin on his voice.

"Lu-Chan are you okay?" I hear the worry in her voice.

"She is okay, just to much magic in too short of a time period. Feel free to stay longer I'm going to put her in bed now." Natsu's voice was so calm and relaxing gently pulling me to sleep but I stayed awake just a little longer I think to myself.

Natsu's POV

"She is okay, just to much magic in to short of a time period. Feel free to stay longer I'm going to put her in bed now." I tell Levy with my calmest voice. Lucy must be exhausted those contacts must have tried far more magic than we thought they would.

I'm glad she took a nap before Levy got here. I carry Lucy to our bed I quickly dress her into something comfortable and tuck her into the covers. I lay on top purring the dragon's lullaby for a third time today. I look at the clock 11:45 pm. go figure I think to myself.

Just like before the room echoed from the music I created. I let myself get completely lost in the notes as I held Lucy in my arms. She felt cold to the touch, I frowned and released more of my heat into the room, into the covers, into my mate. She should never be cold. She is a fire dragon slayer she should run just as hot as I do.

I feel myself getting pulled into sleep but I hold off something telling me I had to. I continued to purr to my mate singing the enchanting lullaby like it was the only thing keeping me awake, ironic. I all but light the bed on fire I remove the blankets from her and apply my firery hands directly to her. I watch as the shivering she had started slowly ceased.

Lucy has been pushing herself to much. Maybe she should hibernate until the wedding? Regain some of her strength. No Lucy would never agree to that. Shit what am I supposed to do? We still had exactly 8 days until the wedding. I freeze up and chuckle a little too myself. I know exactly what to do.
