Lucy blinked owlishly as she tried to make herself smaller under the watchful gaze of everyone in the arena. She blushed brightly before locking onto her mates who were staring at her with disbelief. She couldn't help but feel the rush of emotions through her, she was happy and relieved that she didn't have to tell them anymore but she was anxious about how they'd react.
"I... ugh... pregnant?" Sting sputtered out, finally breaking the silence as he stared incredulously at her. Lucy sighed and took a deep breath before steeling herself. She just defeated Sabertooth's strongest guild members all by herself. While pregnant. She could do this.
"Yes, I'm having a baby; can we get the results of the Grand Magic Games now?" Lucy asked calmly and the announcers blinked as Laxus, Natsu and Sting stared at her
"Oh, yeah sure, let's get the results, congratulations on the baby" Laxus said casually before stiffening again. She could see the wheels turning in his head as it clicked in his mind and he once again stared at her wide eyed
"A BABY? WHAT DO YOU MEAN A BABY?" Natsu yelled and Lucy shot him a look before shaking her head
"Yes Natsu, a baby. You know an infant? One that needs to be fed, clothed and taken care off? One that only knows to cry and poop itself and suck on my breast? You know the things that you act like sometimes. Like a mini version of you" Lucy replied and Natsu sputtered once again, turning red
"We know what a baby is Blondie, but how are you having one?" Laxus questioned, still looking completely shocked. Lucy sighed once again, grumbling about how she was stuck with the densest Dragon Slayers
"We are having a baby because YOU THREE HORNY DRAGONS can't keep your stupid hands off of me. We conceived on the night after you three fought Rocker, Bacchus, Eve and Ren" Lucy replied
"Wait, that means we're going to be daddies" Sting replied, a horrified look crossing his face as he imagined himself taking care of a baby rather poorly
"Hold on, which one of us is the father" Laxus questioned. The three dragons looked at each other, wondering the answer
"While I'm sure only one managed to impregnate me, you're all the fathers because we're mates. Honestly, it's not like the baby is only going to call one of you daddy" Lucy replied, shooting them an irritated look as she realised they were going to fight each other over the title
"Oh. Right" Natsu replied, scratching his. Suddenly Laxus looked angry, magic sparking around him causing Lucy's eyes to widen in fear as he stomped over to her before glaring at her small form
"Are you trying to tell me, that you still fought in the Grand Magic Games WHILE BEING PREGNANT" Laxus yelled and Lucy cowered slightly before straightening up and glaring at him
"WHAT IF YOU ENDANGERED THE BABY? GOD DAMN IT LUCY, I WON'T LOSE MY CHILD" Natsu and Sting yelled and Lucy sent them a quick Lucy Kick to the head before glowering
"I ASKED PORLYUSICA YOU TWIT! SHE SAID IT WAS PERFECTLY FINE AT THIS STAGE AND THAT THE BABY'S MAGIC WOULD PROTECT ANYTHING FROM HAPPENING TO THEM! DO YOU THINK I'M SO STUPID AS TO PUT MY OWN CHILDREN IN DANGER" Lucy yelled and now all three dragons were cowering
"Sorry Lucy, we just don't want anything to happen to the baby" The three apologised and Lucy calmed down sighing slightly as she realised they were just worried about their unborn child.
Then suddenly everyone unfroze, the crowd cheering over the good news as Fairy Tail jumped down and ran towards Lucy, enveloping them in a group hug, even Cana was present, grinning at her friend.
"BABIES! FINALLY, I'M GOING TO HAVE GREAT GRAND CHILDREN! THANK YOU LUCY, THANK YOU SO MUCH" Master Makarov cried, hugging Lucy to himself as Lucy sweat dropped before patting him on the back
"Well done boys, you will be great fathers" Gildarts said, patting Laxus on the back particularly hard
"YES LUCY! I'M GOING TO BE AN AUNT, I'M TOTALLY GOING TO DRINK TO THIS" Cana screamed, hugging Lucy tightly to her as Lucy giggled and hugged her back, ensuring she didn't hurt Cana in the process
"This is truly a man's moment! I can't wait to teach them all about being manly men" Elfman called and Lucy through her head back laughing at his comment
"LAXUS-SAMA! I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET THE BABY! YOU'RE GOING TO BE A GREAT FATHER LAXUS-SAMA. I CAN ALREADY SEE IT" Freed said, crying in appraisal as he pictured Laxus' babies
"JUVIA IS SO HAPPY THAT LUCY IS PREGNANT, JUVIA CAN NOT WAIT TO BE AN AUNT" Juvia said, crying tears of happiness and almost flooding the place
"Congratulations on the baby Lucy, I hope I can be a part of their lives" Jellal said and Lucy hugged him
"Of course you will be, after all you'll probably end up marrying my sister and end up being their uncle" Lucy said cheekily and Jellal blushed before smiling at her
"LU-CHAN! I'M SO HAPPY ABOUT YOUR BABY; I'M SO GOING TO BE THE GOD MOTHER! OH LU-CHAN" Levy screamed, almost knocking Lucy to the floor once again, crying tears as Lucy laughed and hugged her best friend back
"Well done Bunny Girl, if you ever need someone to sing them a lullaby, you know where to find me" Gajeel said and Lucy once again sweat dropped before Orga punched Gajeel in the face
"No! If anyone is going to sing for Lucy's baby it will be me" Orga replied, nodding at Lucy as if his mind was already made up
"Oh Lucy! I knew that you'd get pregnant sooner or later, after all, you guys can't keep your hands off of each other" Yukino said, wiggling her eyebrows as Lucy blushed
"Damn you guys are lucky" Bickslow said, slapping Laxus on the back, causing them to stare at him in question
"Well, I heard that when you're pregnant, the female's breasts swell, so Cosplayer's tits are going to get even bigger" Bickslow commented perversely causing Lucy to throw her heels at them while all the males stared at her in lust, some even drooling
"Shut up Bickslow, god you're such a pervert. Congratulations Lucy" Evergreen squealed after reprimanding Bickslow before moving to hug Lucy tightly as they began making plans to go shopping for the baby
"Lucy-nee, is there going to be another baby soon? Can I hold them" Asuka asked cutely and Lucy nodded, causing Asuka to smile brightly as she hugged Lucy. Suddenly, bright flashes appeared, signalling the arrival of some of Lucy's spirits.
"PRINCESS! WHY COULDN'T THIS BE OUR CHILD" Loke cried to himself, broken hearts floating around him as Virgo hit him on the back
"I for one cannot wait for the little prince or princess to arrive" Virgo said bowing and Lucy smiled, however she was soon hugged by the last person she expected to be hugged by
"I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE LITTLE BABIES, OH THEY WILL BE SO CUTE, I CAN JUST IMAGINE THEM" Aquarius squealed, hugging a stunned Lucy tightly, hearts dancing around her. Lucy's spirits all congratulated her before disappearing back to the Celestial World, sending their wishes from the Celestial King and her spirits that couldn't force their own gate open.
"Lucy? Does this mean we're going to have a little Natsu running around?" Happy questioned, eyes sparkling as he imagined a smaller version of his best friend
"Of course not Happy, we're going to have a little Sting running around, there's no way that the baby is Natsu's, after all, Sting is the best and therefore Lucy's first baby will be his" Lector replied, causing both him and Happy to get into a small argument over who's baby it would be
"I for one hope it's Laxus', after all, imagine the destruction a baby Natsu or Sting would cause for the guild" Rogue mused and suddenly Master tensed, now crying tears of fear
"Lucy? Where do babies come from?" Frosch questioned and Lucy's eyes widened, turning to Yukino and Rufus for help
"Don't worry about it Frosch, we'll tell you when you're older" Rufus commented before congratulating Lucy
"Your children are going to be beautiful Lucy" Carla said and Lucy smiled at the female exceed before she was wrapped in a small hug
"Lucy-nee! I can't wait to see little versions of you running around!" Wendy exclaimed and Lucy giggled while hugging her little sister closer to her. Suddenly, she was wrapped around in two pair of strong arms, one naked while the other clad in armour
"Lucy, I can't believe that I'm going to have a niece of nephew running around soon, thank you, you have made me extremely happy, happier than cake" Erza commented and Lucy sweat dropped before her heart swelled
"I hope that they're all you and have nothing from Laxus, Natsu or Sting, I don't think I can handle smaller versions of them, but I will welcome little cute Lucys any day" Gray replied and Lucy chuckled to here. However, suddenly a large squeal surrounded the air, causing everyone to shut up as Mira pushed everyone off of Lucy, before hugging her tightly
"A BABY! FINALLY YOU GIVE ME A BABY! THANK YOU LUCY! THANK YOU! BLONDE HAIR BLUE EYED BABY! PINK HAIR BROWN EYES BABY! BLONDE HAIR GRAY EYED BABY! I CAN'T WAIT! OH LUCY I'M SO HAPPY" Mira squealed, twirling Lucy around carefully
Everyone stared at her strangely as she twirled about, skipping and dancing happily with hearts around her, stars in her eyes as images of babies surrounded her. They all stepped away from her, watching her cautiously. Even Freed stepped away from his girlfriend, not wanting to be near the crazed Mira
Finally, everything calmed down, Fairy Tail still happy as they watched Mato come down to the arena, smiling at the large excited group as they surrounded their blonde Celestial Mage. The lacrima TV floated behind him with the scoring
Fairy Tail A: 106pts
Fairy Tail B: 79pts
Sabertooth: 60pts
Lamia Scale: 44pts
Quatro Cerberus: 42pts
Mermaid Heel: 26pts
Blue Pegasus: 24pts
Twilight Ogre: 0pts
"Yes, well the winners of the Grand Magic Games are clearly Fairy Tail! Congratulations for staying Fiore's strongest Guild also here's your reward. Congratulations Lucy, kabo" Mato said and Lucy smiled as Fairy Tail began cheering again, people picking up Lucy and holding her in the air as they continued to celebrate
"COME ON YOU BRATS! WE HAVE TWO THINGS TO CELEBRATE NOW" Makarov yelled and once again the guild cheered, partying for a whole two weeks over the news.
*Two Weeks Later*
Finally, the guild had calmed down; however they were all still excited over the baby that was going to be born within eight months and two weeks. One of the three father dragons surrounded Lucy at all times, doting on her as they kept her out of harm's way.
Their excuse being that they didn't want anyone to hurt their child. Mira was happily wiping the bar as she spoke to Lucy who was sipping on her strawberry smoothie, all the girls in the guild surrounding her as they chatted excitedly.
"Oh Lucy, I can't wait to spoil your babies rotten, they're going to be the most spoiled and loved kids in the whole of Fiore" Mira squealed and all the girls nodded, agreeing with Mira. Somewhere to the side, the three dragons were surrounded by the males, all talking about Lucy's pregnancy. They shuddered as they heard Mira squeal
"You know Freed, Jellal, I'm glad it's not Erza or Mira who's pregnant. Imagine having to deal with a pregnant Titania or Demon Mira" Laxus replied shuddering before Jellal and Freed snickered
"Yes, but you need to deal with a pregnant Scary Dragon Fairy Lucy" Jellal sniggered and the three dragons paled as they imagined their mate and the males could swear that they'd almost seen Laxus cry. Lucy smiled at the guild before moving to the stage, her dragons following her as she grabbed the attention of everyone in the guild.
"You're all probably wondering why I'm up here asking for your attention. Well it's because we'd like to make an announcement. I have thought this over thoroughly and I have decided on the relationships we'd like our child to have with this guild" Lucy announced and everyone perked up, grinning at Lucy as they waited for their names to be called out
"Master Makarov, Gildarts, Macao and Wakaba, we would like you to be the grandfathers of our child" Lucy started and the four men cheered, tears shining in the eyes as they clapped each other on the back, grinning and chatting excitedly before Lucy called for attention again
"Now, I know that you're only supposed to have one set of Godparents, but I couldn't choose between all my girl friends and therefore we've come to a decision of having more than one godfather and godmother. Gray, Jellal, Freed and Gajeel we'd love it if you were the godfathers and Cana, Mira, Levy and Erza, we'd love it if you were the godmothers" Lucy said and the guys cheered while the girls squealed excitedly
"Now, the rest of the guild, I hope you guys will be aunts and uncles to our children, because you are all our family" Lucy finished and once again the guild burst into cheers, girls squealing as guys cheered once again.
The whole guild once again partied over their new relationships, everyone apart from Lucy drinking to their hearts content. Lucy smiled as she watched her guild, smiling as she pet her belly.
*Second Month of Lucy's pregnancy*
As Lucy began her second month of pregnancy, so began the morning sickness. Every morning, before dawn, Lucy would get up and rush to the bathroom, spilling her guts as praised the 'Porcelain God' as Laxus had dubbed it.
Every morning, the three dragons would wake up along with Lucy, one holding her hair back as another called their friends in panic about Lucy puking. It seemed that the said dragon slayer never understood the notion of morning sickness, three guesses for which dragon that was.
Finally, the third dragon slayer would make a trip and collect the one thing that seemed to calm Lucy's morning sickness down. A towel soaked in Freed's cologne. Not that it made Laxus happy for his mate to enjoy the scent of another male; no in fact it made him quite angry, especially since it was his friend's scent, but he'd bite his tongue if it made her happy.
They found out about the little quirk the first time Lucy had experienced morning sickness. Lucy had immediately woken up and shot out of bed and began to worship the Porcelain God, causing great panic as Sting and Natsu contacted the guild, yelling about Lucy giving birth prematurely through her mouth while Laxus comforted her.
Hearing the dragon's panicked tone, the whole guild quickly made their way towards the Heartfilia household as they had dubbed it, and quickly surrounded the mates as they freaked out, Wendy and Porlyusica rushing to help Lucy only to realise it was her first time having morning sickness.
Clearly Porlyusica was angry at the false alarm, and the two idiot dragons found themselves against the wall, large bumps on their head.
Mira had moved to hold Lucy's hair back as she retched, Laxus watching so that he knew what to do the next time she'd have morning sickness. Lucy then managed to stagger to her feet in order to brush her teeth. However, as soon as she stood up, she felt nauseous again and almost fainted, causing Freed to catch her.
As soon as Lucy caught a whiff of Freed's scent, relief immediately washed through her, her nausea dying down as she inhaled in his scent. Apparently, something in Freed's cologne reacted very well with Lucy's stomach
"Yes, well it seems that the child enjoys the scent of your friend. It would do you good to keep a towel soaked with his cologne for future bouts of morning sickness. I will take my leave now, please ensure that you only call me for proper emergencies" Porlyusica said gruffly before leaving. Soon the guild cleared out of their home, only the Godparents remaining and a few aunts and uncles.
Soon the Godparents began getting Lucy to sniff them, wondering which scent their godchild enjoyed the most. This 'game' was then played by the entire group of Godparents, Fathers, the rest of the Thunder God Tribe and Wendy
Lucy enjoyed Erza, Wendy and Levy's perfume very much, the scent almost lulling her to sleep while Evergreen and Mira's perfume excited Lucy, causing the five girls to squeal as they realised that their niece/nephew and godchild loved their scent, which meant they would love them, considering the child was most likely a dragon slayer.
Gray's cologne neither excited, calmed nor nauseated Lucy, causing him to pout as he believed that his godson didn't particularly care for him. The funniest moment was Lucy's reaction to Natsu, Sting and Laxus' scent. As soon as Lucy got a whiff of their cologne, she was once again running to worship the Porcelain God, causing the fathers to pout while their friends laughed at them.
The most surprising reaction however, was when Lucy caught the scent of Bickslow. Lucy enjoyed Bickslow's scent so much, that she had fallen into his lap trying to get closer to him so that she could inhale his scent. Clearly, this didn't make any of the three fathers happy, causing Laxus to immediately pull her to him while Natsu and Sting growled at the 'threat'
"Ours, not yours" They all sneered, moving closer to Lucy as they glowered at Bickslow, who in turn laughed at the territorial dragons.
Bickslow had been completely excited that Cosplayer's child had taken a liking to his scent, causing him to boast about how his nephew (he along with the rest of the males were totally convinced that the child was a boy) loved him the best.
Jellal and Gajeel's scents once again didn't do much, however when infused together, they caused Lucy to once again calm down as she was lulled to sleep between them, promptly using Gajeel as a large pillow. Once again, the three dragons glared angrily before clutching their mate to themselves possessively.
The fathers soon found themselves pouting and moping about how their own child didn't love them causing their friends to once again laugh at their expense. However, the fathers didn't have to worry for long for it turned out that their child loved their natural scents more than the cologne or perfume adorned by their friends
One day, after a rather large brawl in the guild, Lucy had caught whiff of her mates' rather natural, sweaty scent, immediately causing her to pull them into a storage room in the guild so that she could thoroughly defile them and the storeroom. Not that the mates minded, no indeed they enjoyed it very much.
However, considering a towel soaked in sweat was completely unhygienic and probably extremely bad for the baby, the group compromised on Freed's cologne, even though Laxus sulked and pouted over it every now and then
*Lucy's Third Month of Pregnancy*
With the third month of Lucy's pregnancy, came the odd but almost normal cravings. Or as normal as it could get for a child conceived by a Dragon Fairy and a Dragon Slayer.
"Darlings" Lucy called sweetly, looking rather cute as she gave her mates the largest puppy dog eyes as she could. Natsu kicked Laxus, waking the Lightning Dragon Slayer up
"It's your turn with the cravings spark head" Natsu mumbled while nuzzling into Lucy's growing baby bump.
"Ugh... what is it this time Blondie" Laxus questioned as he stared blearily at her
"Fish fingers and custard" Lucy said, beaming at her mate. Laxus grumbled and rolled out of bed before dressing himself and heading out to the shops. However, that was not the oddest of cravings. No, in fact, that was one of the normal ones.
Lucy sat in the guild, smiling as she spoke to Mira before her stomach grumbled. She grinned sheepishly before moving to find Sting who was currently in the middle of the guild playing with Lector. Lucy skipped over to him and jumped onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck
"What is it now Lucy" Sting asked, spinning Lucy so she was sitting in his lap
"Cake" Lucy said brightly as Sting's hands found their way to her waist
"What flavour" He questioned and Lucy thought to herself before grinning in the most adorable way she could
"Mango, pineapple and pink lava" Lucy replied after a while and Sting's eyebrows shot up
"Sorry Lucy, but pink lava isn't a flavour" Sting said and Lucy shot him a look of disdain before scrambling to her feet, hands on her hip
"YES IT IS" She screamed and he shot up, drawing attention to them as the guild watched Sting try to calm his pregnant mate
"No, Lucy baby it's not, I can get you mango and pineapple but not pink lava flavoured cake" Sting said delicately however Lucy was having none of it
"YES IT FRICKING IS! IF I SAY IT IS THEN IT IS! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO I AM? I AM LUCY HEARTFILIA, HEIRESS TO THE HEARTFILIA KONZERN, TRUE DRAGON FAIRY AND LIGHT OF THE FAIRIES! IF I SAY IT IS A FLAVOUR THEN IT IS A FLAVOUR" Lucy screamed, stomping her foot on the floor as her fists balled up. Sting's eyes widened as he tried to console his mate, however she stepped away from him
"You're just making excuses; you don't want to be with me anymore. You regret taking me as your mate and now that I'm pregnant you want to leave me because I'm starting to get fat aren't I?" Lucy questioned, tears in her eyes as she pointed an accusing finger at him
"No, baby of course not" Sting said as he moved t hug her
"You're lying! YOU AND HAPPY BOTH THINK I'M FAT DON'T YOU AND NOW YOU DON'T LOVE ME" Lucy screamed again and Sting sighed as he jumped his mate, hugging her as she pounded her tiny fists against his chest
"Lucy baby no I don't think you're fat and of course I love you, I wouldn't mind if you get fat, because it would just give me more to play with" Sting growled out, grabbing her enlarged breast and nipping at her ear as she finally calmed down
"Stingy-bee?" Lucy asked cutely and Sting looked down at her, eyebrows rising in question
"Can I get my cake now" She asked cutely, her eyes sparkling with unshed tears and Sting let her go, grumbling as she completely ignored his advances
"Yeah yeah, I'll get you your damn mango, pineapple and pink lava cake" Sting replied sighing in relief as Lucy calmed down, smiling brightly at him as she kissed his cheek, causing everyone to sweat drop at her mood change
"Fucking hormones. Fucking PINK LAVA cake" Sting spat under his breath as he glowered at everyone, shoving his way to the bar
"Hey Sting" Mira greeted kindly as she wiped the counter
"Hey Mira, do you know what mango, pineapple and PINK LAVA cake is?" Sting questioned, stressing the words pink and lava. Mira giggled at him
"Well, I assume its mango pineapple cake with pink lava drizzled over it? We have some mango pineapple cake here, we just need pink lava" Mira replied and Sting sighed
"Where am I supposed to get pink fucking lava from" Sting muttered, hands running through his hair
"Well, if you get some lava then I'm sure we could just put some pink colouring in it" Mira replied and Sting grinned at her and moved to hug her
"You Mira, are a genius! Now, where can I get lava from?" Sting asked himself before a light bulb appeared over his head and he quickly ran to a Wizarding Apothecary
Once Sting had successfully returned with the lava, he took it to Mira who began getting the cake ready. Once it was done he carried it over to Lucy who was smiling and rubbing her belly as she sat in a quiet corner of the guild
"You know your daddies really are something. Sure Daddy Laxus did some bad things in the past but all three of your daddies really love you and they always will, as will mummy so don't ever forget it" Lucy said softly, speaking to her child.
Sting smiled to himself softly before moving to give Lucy her cake. She grinned brightly at him as she tucked into her cake, the other two dragon slayers finally joining them as they all shared the strange flavoured cake.
A few days later, Sting was in the middle of recounting his strange cake dilemma with some males in the group, many of them laughing as they remembered Lucy's temper while some snickered as they imagined Sting's face considering they weren't present at the time
"It was actually really good cake, especially the lava" Natsu said, rubbing his belly and drooling as he remembered the strange cake
"Yeah, sure it was" Gray snickered, still remembering the way Lucy had yelled at Sting
"Natsu?" Lucy's voice called out and Natsu groaned as he realised it was his turn to take care of her cravings
"What is it this time Luce?" Natsu questioned, turning to look at his mate
"A sandwich with Nutella, Raspberry Jam and Peanut Butter and brownies and cookies in the middle oh and sardines" Lucy said and Natsu cringed as he got up and moved to find Mirajane, placing the order for Lucy's rather strange sandwich
The males in the group watched in revulsion as Lucy took a bite out of the sandwich before moaning in delight. They all shuddered as they caught a sight of one of the fishes, wondering how Lucy could even stomach the sandwich
"Well, at least my godson has the appetite of all us dragon slayers" Gajeel commented as he watched Lucy eat her 15th sandwich
"Why do you all assume it's a boy? It could very well be a girl" Levy commented and all the boys stared at her in incredulity
"Of course it's a boy; fifteen of us believe it's a boy, including Master and Jellal so obviously it's going to be a boy" Gajeel replied, patting Levy on the head
"SHE is going to be a GIRL, I can already tell" Mira said, smiling as she imagined little Lucy's run around
"No Mira, now you're wrong. It's definitely going to be a boy" Freed said, all the boys backing him up as loud roars of 'YEAH' surrounded the guild
And that's how Lucy found the guild when she entered, females on one side and males on the other and every single one of them, from Master to Asuka, were all arguing over the sex of her baby.
Every. Single. Member.
