Chapter 3

Lucy's heart swelled once she found out that she was having twins. She cried tears of joy. Her stomach got huge, as expected. As the pregnancy progressed she grew weaker, by the time she was 5 months along she couldn't even summon plue.

She had spoken to the doctor about it but even the doctor wasn't sure what was happening.

Loke had asked grampa crux and the spirit told him that this is due to the twins having parents who both use ancient type magic. They are stronger than regular wizard babies and they require more than just nutrients. They need magical energy as well and since they don't have any of their own they will drain the one carrying them.

Grampa Crux strongly advised that Lucy not call out any spirits until she has given birth. Lucy wasn't happy to hear that but decided to comply. It's not like she had a choice, she couldn't even summon her weakest key if she tried.

Lucy got tired easily now, she had gotten pale too. Loke had forbidden her from leaving the house. The farthest she could go was the backyard and when she had a doctors appointment Loke or Capricorn would carry her there despite her complaints.

She couldn't stand for long periods of time either so Virgo cooked everything for her and cleaned the house too. Lucy had insisted that she could do all that herself but her spirits wouldn't let her. All the other zodiacs would open their gates to help too.

All Lucy did was read, work on her novels and take baths. She was bored all the time especially since she was alone a lot. She wished that she could see her friends again but Gray and Gajeel refused to let Juvia and Levi go anywhere by themselves.

She felt useless, as happy as she was to be bringing life into world she wished that she didn't have to rely on her spirits this much. Her spirits were tired, they tried hiding it but she could tell. Them being exhausted was to be expected, they were continously entering the human world on their own power. And as strong as they were that would still take a toll on them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Natsu woke up frustrated, he was rock hard once again. He was a total mess mentally as well, he could vividly imagine the blonde beauty kissing him. Tracing her finger along his jawline, sending shivers up his spine. He got harder, if possible. He wanted her, he needed her. He tried grabbing onto the blonde only to realize that there was nobody there.

He got up and went to the bathroom to do his usual routine of jerking off and showering.

In the past 5 months he realized that his love for Lisanna wasn't as prominant. He loved her but he wasn't as in love with her as before. He had began to question his feelings. The face of the woman in his dreams had also become clear, it was Lucy (no surprise there).

He was shocked to say the least. He hadn't expected that, apart of him was pleased and had begun to enjoy these dreams even more but another part of him (A really small part) felt guilty. How could he fantsize about his ex when he was currently in a relationship? He questioned himself constantly.

Ever since Lucy's face became clear he's been seeing her more often. He avoids zoning out now, each time he does he gets some fantasy about making love to the blonde or just being with her. He had a feeling that things would only get more difficult for him in the future.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey princess." The lion spirit appeared by Lucy's bedside.

"Hi Loke." Lucy greeted back not looking up from the book she was reading.

"We've felt that you've been a bit sad lately, so we decided to let you go shopping today." The lion spirit said, Virgo and Capricorn appeared while he was speaking.

Lucy got excited and put her book down, her smile faltered as she stared at her three spirits. "There's a catch isn't there?"

"Well it's not a catch but a condition princess." Virgo commented.

"I'm not letting capricorn carry me around town!" Lucy said.

Loke sighed and sat on the bed, turning to his master. "Lucy we know you don't like it but you're constantly being drained of energy. We can't risk you overexcerting yourself. This is for your well being." The lion spirit said with Capricorn and Virgo nodding in agreement with him.

Lucy understood why they did this but it was a bit embarrassing to be carried everywhere. People would stare at her more than before and it made her uncomfortable.

"Well I won't be going anywhere then." Lucy said defiantly while pouting.

The three zodiac spirits looked at each other before looking back at their master.

"Well I guess you don't have to go. We can just go to the new bookstore without you." Loke said getting up to leave the room.

"Wait!" Lucy shouted grabbing onto Loke's arm to stop him. Loke smiled, glad that he could convince her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lucy had been dreading this, everywhere they went eyes would be on them. But who wouldn't stare when a pregnant woman was being carried by a goat man and was followed by a man with cat ears and a maid. They were certainly an odd sight.

They soon arrived to the new bookstore, Lucy was happy when Capricorn placed her on the ground allowing her to walk around. She waddled around the store picking up books as soon as they caught her eye. She got to the "adult" section of the store.

Lucy's face flushed reading the description on each book but placed them in Virgo's hands nonetheless. She continued looking until she found the kids section. She placed her hand on her enlarged stomach, wondering if her babies would come to love reading as much as she does.

She picked up 10 picture books and 10 fairytale books. 'This should be enough for now.' she thought going to the front desk to pay for all the books.

The cashier stared at the stacks of books in front of her wondering how long it would take her to cash all of them. She sighed and began her task. 60 books in total. The total came to 60,000 jewels.

Before Lucy could reach for her purse Loke took out his money and paid for everything. Virgo disappeared with all the books, bringing them to the house, before reappearing. Capricorn picked Lucy up again before walking out of the store.

Lucy didn't say anything, she knew that there was no point in arguing with her spirits.

They walked around some more, stopping in every boutique and shop to buy anything that would catch Lucy's eye despite her complaints.

Once they were back home Capricorn and Virgo left to the spirit world while Loke stayed to watch over Lucy.

The blonde ate something Virgo had made earlier and went to her library. She was pleased to see all her new books were already on the shelves. She wanted to read each one but she was too exhausted. She decided it would be best to just go to bed since it was already 8pm.

Loke left soon after Lucy fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh Natsu~"

He turned to look and saw Lucy standing in the bathroom doorway. She was dressed in nothing but a pair of black lacy panties and a matching bra. Natsu got hard at the mere sight of her.

"You have no idea what you do to me." He said lowly, his eyes travelling all over her body. His lustful gaze sent shiver down her spine, she could feel the heat building up between her legs.

"Really? Then why don't you come show me." She said seductively.

"Glady." He said before walking over to her. He stared down at her making her feel nervous. He pulled her close before smashing his lips against hers. Lucy's arms wrapped around his neck, her fingers tangled in his hair. They kissed eagerly, it was as though they had been starved of one another.

He pushed her against the wall, breaking the kiss to trace kisses from her jawline to her collarbone. Lucy was beginning to breathe heavily. Natsu would suck and nip at her skin, leaving little marks as he went along.

"~Natsu~" He heard Lucy moan out.

He loved hearing her moan his name. She knew that she was his and only his. He took pleasure in knowing that she won't ever call anyone's name but his like that.

"Jump." He commanded. She did so, wrapping her legs around his torso.

He walked towards the bed, placing her on her back. She was stunning, and she was all his. He threw off his shirt and pants, leaving him in only his boxers. His boxers did nothing to hide his still growing bulge.

He hovered over her before leaning down  to plant a kiss on her lips. His hands roamed her body, before reaching to unclasp her bra. Once her voluptuous breasts were on display he began sucking and groping them, alternating between them every few minutes. He left a trail of hickeys all over her upper body.

He moved down lower, he pulled her panties off. He inserted a finger inside her, before inserting another. He pumped his fingers in her, her moaning turning him on even more.

Lucy was sweating, her face was getting red. He could tell that she was getting close but he wouldn't let her cum until he wanted her to. He pulled his fingers out making Lucy whine in frustration .

He quickly pulled his boxers off before aligning himself at Lucy's entrance. He thrusted himself inside her causing her to gasp in surprise at the sudden force.

Once he began to move she screamed his name, telling him to go faster. Begging him to have his way with her. She was closer to her release than before and so was he. He continued thrusting until they both climaxed.

They didn't stop there, they continued through the night until Lucy was too exhausted to move.

He fell asleep with her in his arms, his arm wrapped around her in a protective manner.

He woke up to her attempting to leave the bed.

"Where do you think you're going?" He questioned.

"It's almost 9, the kids are gonna be awake soon. So I'm going to shower while I still can." She said.

He released her and watched as she limped to the bathroom. He smiled proudly.

Natsu sat upright. 'That was new.' He thought referring to the dream he just had. He was used to dreaming about sex with Lucy and nothing else. Although the mention of kids left a warm feeling in his heart he was filled with confusion.

The idea of having kids with Lucy felt appealing, but how could that be when he didn't even like the idea of having kids with his girlfriend? He could easily picture blonde and pink haired babies. It felt right to picture Lucy as the mother of his children.

"No Natsu don't think that way. You have a girlfriend who you're madly in love with." He said clearing his thoughts.

He got up and got ready. He left for the guild. As he walked the dream kept replaying in his head. He thought of how sexy looked in nothing but her underwear. He felt his dick twitch. He had to stop thinking about this. He needed to distract himself.

"Salamander!" The voices of little kids called out to him as he entered the town.

He smiled and stopped, doing a few small tricks (nothing that he couldn't control) for them. He soon continued his journey to the guild leaving the excited children. He couldn't help thinking back to the kids Lucy mentioned.

He wondered if they were his. The thought of him not being the father made him angry. He wished he could have seen them in the dream.

He was so deep in thought that he hadn't realized that he reached the guild until he ran headfirst into the guild doors. He rubbed his forehead while grabbing the door handle and pushing the door open. He walked to the far end of the guild and sat his usual table.

As soon as he sat down he saw his girlfriend coming up to him. "~Natsu~" She cooed sitting down next him attaching herself to his arm. Hearing his name being called made him think of the way Lucy moaned it.

The sound of her glorious moans replayed in his head as if it was on loop. He thought about the way she practically begged for him. How needy she looked. The way she gasped when he slammed into her.

"F*ck." He cursed lowly, looking down at the bulge in his pants. Lisanna must have heard him and looked down as well. She gasp before smirking. "I could help you with that." She whispered into his ear seductively, stroking his thigh.

Natsu felt repulsed, he shook her off before speeding out of the guild leaving the girl disappointed.

Gajeel laughed watching the interaction, completely understanding why Natsu reacted like that.

Lisanna sat there sad and angry. Mira noticed and went to check on her sister. "What's the matter Lisanna?" The barmaid asked.

Lisanna clenched her fist, "We have been together for 5 months already and he still won't have sex with me. He does everything in his power to avoid it. I once snuck into his place and waited for him naked and you know what he did when he saw me?! Walk back outside!" she said shouted unknowingly making everyone in the guild hear their conversation.

Gajeel was struggling to hold in his laughter, he could only imagine how disgusted Natsu felt when he saw Lisanna naked. 'Fire cracker has no idea what's happening to him does he? Oh well not my problem. More entertainment for me!' The iron dragon slayer thought finally releasing his laugh making his girlfriend hit him with a book for being rude.

"Well maybe he's just not ready for that yet, some people would rather have an emotional connection than a physical one maybe he's like that." Mira advised , 'Or maybe you guys aren't meant to be. Nalu for life!' The barmaid added in her head.

"You're right Mira, thanks." Lisanna said before leaving the guild. Once the guild doors closed behind her. Everyone started speaking about what they just overheard and nobody stopped them, even master indulged in a conversation about it with Cana.

"That poor girl."

"Only Natsu can turn down something like that!"

"And she's still with him."

"He wasn't like this when Lucy was here, he used to be all over her. She would constantly come to the guild covered in hickeys."

The guild members voiced their thoughts on the matter. Everything they said was true. When Lucy and Natsu were together, it was as if Natsu couldn't get enough of her. He would kiss her constantly, he would always be pulling her away from the guild and nobody would see them until hours later. They would always see bite marks and hickeys on the blonde's neck, shoulders and basically everywhere.

Sometimes they wouldn't see the blonde at all just Natsu, they assumed that she was tired after overexcerting herself doing certain activities.

Soon everyone moved off the topic to other things like missions, clothes and food.

Hours later Natsu stormed into the guild and grabbed a mission before letting Mira stamp it and leaving. This mission would last 3 months, he didn't bother to inform Lisanna of his departure and just grabbed his stuff and left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Princess!" Loke called out entering the blonde's library.

Lucy laid down on the sofa reading one of the books she bought yesterday, "Yes?" she answered looking up from her book.

"Levy sent a letter." he said waving an envelope. Lucy put her book down  and got up excitedly waddling over to Loke to grab the envelope from his hands.

She tore the envelope eager to see what her friend wrote to her.

Dear Lucy,

               It's been so long since I've seen you. Juvia and I miss you soooo much. We wish we could visit again but Gajeel and Gray are impossible to get by. I can barely go to the bathroom by myself! We wish we could call you by lacrima just to see you and hear your voice but Gajeel and Gray won't leave us alone for even a minute.

On a much happier note Juvia and I found out that we will both be having twins! Isn't that amazing?! Oh and by the way Erza is pregnant! Yes our Erza is pregnant! Turns out that all those solo missions she was going on was just her and Jellal shagging in a hotel. Crazy right? Yeah she's actually farther along than we are.

Elfman and Evergreen got together. Who would have thought?

Gajeel and I bought a house. It's not as amazing as yours but I love it. It's so cute and cosy but spacious. It's not far from the guild but far enough from town so it's really quiet. Perfect for reading.

How are you and the baby? Are you alright? Doing anything new? Have you been writing? I need you to tell me everything. So please write back, gajeel doesn't like to read so he won't pay a few letters any mind.

P.S. I included a copy of my recent ultrasound photo as well as Juvia's along with a picture of my new house.

Love your bestfriend,                                                                                                                                                              Levy.

Lucy looked into the envelope and took out the three pictures. She stared at the two ultrasounds before looking at the picture of the house.

She began crying making Loke wrap an arm around her.

"I'm so happy they're happy. I can't believe Erza's having a baby. Oh my gosh! I miss them so much!" She cried while Loke rubbed her back.

Once she stopped she got paper and her pen ready to write back.

Dear Levy,

              You have no idea how much I miss you guys. I was so happy to hear from you. Not much has happened here. Guess what? I'm having twins too! It's so weird that we're having twins at the same time too.

I still can't  believe that Erza's pregnant. I kinda did expect Elfman and Evergreen together with the way they constantly bickered.

I have actually finished writing two novels already. You guys don't need to keep trying to find ways to contact me, I know that it might be stressing you out. I'm glad that Gray and Gajeel are taking care of you and Juvia. I miss you guys so much.

Love Your bestfriend,                                                                                                                                                             Lucy.

After putting the letter in an envelope she got a box and placed a copy of each of her novels in for Levy and a pair of ice earrings for Juvia. She placed the envelope in the box before taping it closed. She handed it to Loke asking him to mail it.
