Dragons, Fairies and The Celestial Empress

Chapter 23

"Wha- Blondie?" Laxus questioned, rolling off of the table and landing on the floor

"Lucy?" Sting question, sitting on the table as he rubbed at his eyes

"Luce, what's wrong?" Natsu asked, noticing Lucy's tears. Lucy once again started crying, her sobbing causing her mates to open their eyes wide in alarm.

Laxus quickly moved to her, wrapping himself around her as she moved her arms around his neck, sobbing into his naked chest as he brushed his fingers through her hair. Sting and Natsu joined them, wrapping her in a group hug as they tried to console her

"Lucy, baby what's wrong?" Sting questioned, pressing a kiss to her teak soaked face

"Did we do something wrong again?" Laxus questioned, tightening his embrace around her, being careful of her large belly.

"Are you hungry? Do you want more cake?" Natsu questioned, his mind immediately believing food was the cause of her problems

Their concern only made Lucy cry harder as she tightened her hold on all of them. Finally she calmed down, stepping away from them as she wiped away her tears and shook her head at them before sending them a weak smile

"N-N-No, you didn't do anything wrong. I'm sorry for over reacting today, it's just that when you said I was getting big and fat, I thought that you didn't like me anymore and I remember reading in a magazine once that sometimes men leave their wives because they're all pregnant and fat and they don't believe they're attractive anymore" Lucy choked out before once again shaking. Her words caused her mates eyes' to widen before they wrapped her in a hug again

"Lucy we're sorry. We should have learned by now not to make fun of your weight gain, it's not like you can help it anyway" Laxus said, reassuring her as the two younger dragons nodded

"Yeah, plus like I said before, I don't mind the extra weight, I mean look at your breasts, they're even bigger than before and it's damn sexy" Sting said, growling as he nipped at her neck

"Plus, we could never leave you, you're our mate and we've been mated forever. Hell, not even death could keep us apart, we'd probably find you in our afterlife and mark you as our own then as well" Natsu continued, nipping at Lucy's ear

"Also, the fact that you're pregnant with our child makes you even more attractive. Do you know how sexy it is knowing that you're going to be tied to us even further after you give birth?" Laxus questioned, moving one of his hands to grope her ass

"In fact, this is not even going to be your last pregnancy, there's going to be more to come during our lives considering we all want to impregnate you. That and we can't wait to have children so we can spoil and coddle them and give them piggy back rides" Sting continued and Lucy giggled, smiling at them

"If giving us children means that you become fat, then we won't mind, because you'll have given us the best present we could have ever asked for, a family Luce. An actual family that is ours" Natsu whispered and Lucy grinned at her mates as they grinned back at her

"Truth be told, just the other day, I was with Macao and Wakaba and both were talking about how incredibly attractive you still look, even with your baby bump" Laxus replied and Lucy blushed slightly

And after that, the three dragons proceeded to SHOW Lucy how much they loved her, whispering sweet words as they continued to make love all night.
