Sequel: Meant To Be? (Book 2 of I Love You But Do You?) (Nalu Fanfiction)

Chapter 53- Nauseous

A week into our vacation and I first felt nauseous a few days after we arrived but today, I had the urge to puke. I flipped the blanket onto Natsu who lay in bed beside me and sprinted to the washroom. We were laying in bed together since it was early morning and the sun was just starting to rise. It takes a while for our early morning routine to rub off so we still wake up really early as if we were working. I felt the bile rise in my throat before I threw up in the toilet, gripping the sides and feeling absolutely awful.

I heard Natsu quickly emerge behind me rubbing circles on my back and pulling my hair up into a loose ponytail so it wouldn't get stained while I vomit, which I did again.

"Shhh Luce, take it easy." I felt so terrible and my head hurt from the sudden movement this early in the morning. I was on my knees with my head over the toilet and my legs felt sore so I leaned back since I knew Natsu was behind me. He flushed the toilet before helping me sit down on the floor. Natsu adjusted so he had his legs outstretched on either side of my body that way when I leaned back, it was comfortable for me to slip into his warm chest.

I had silk pajamas on with only the loosely buttoned top and no pants so the marble floor was a shocking cold. Natsu only had his pajama shorts one so luckily his chest was warm enough to heat my back and even out the cold.

"I feel awful." I groaned, closing my eyes and leaning further back on Natsu. Natsu was sitting against the wall and wrapped both his arms around mine which I had tucked over my stomach.

"My dinner from last night wasn't that bad." I could feel Natsu's breath fan over my head and his chuckles sent vibrations through my body. I appreciated him trying to lighten the situation but I had no idea why this was happening...unless...

"N-Natsu, can you leave me for a minute? I need to check something." I stood up and shook with the headache that was beginning to kick in. We didn't drink any alcohol yesterday either, maybe the other day but that wouldn't carry to this morning.

"Luce, you sure you're ok?" Natsu stood up beside me and held my hand in his, giving it a light squeeze. I nodded with determined eyes but I felt guilty for how much worry I caused him. He looked really worried right now and slowly left the washroom, closing the door and casting a final look at me before shutting it.

I grabbed my purse and I swore I remember Lisanna put it in the makeup bag. I fumbled through the bag and sure enough, it was there. The pregnancy test. This might explain everything. I felt really grateful now that Lisanna put it in there without me knowing. What would Natsu's reaction be and how long would I be able to hide it from him before he knew?

Should I just tell him and possibly ruin the rest of this vacation? 

Stop thinking so much Lucy, just do the test and see the results first.

It was positive. I felt like fainting right then and there. A flurry of emotions rose in my head; happiness, fear, confusion but mostly, a strange warmth that spread over my chest. I couldn't believe it, there was a baby growing in my body, Natsu and I's baby. But so many questions and worry quickly kicked in, worry about not being a good enough mom, worry if this was the right time to have a child, worry about Natsu's reaction, and worry about how to be a parent. This was such a huge event, I needed time to think this through and fully process what was happening.

Holy, I was going to be a mom. I thought about this in the past but I never expected it to be this sudden and despite how much I thought about it, nothing could prepare me for this moment. It wasn't even that I had purposely wanted to get pregnant but Natsu and I must have gotten carried away that night.
