Fairy Tail One-Shots

Happy Fathers Day (Nalu)

Lucy paced back and forth in the bathroom, wondering how to break the news to him. Her shoes clicked on the hard, tile floor endlessly as she stared at the small object in her hand. She was happy, but would he be? She wondered as her eyes filled with fear. She stared down at the floor until a drop of liquid fell. Brushing a finger on her cheek, she realized it was a tear...she was crying. She knew she shouldn't be scared, or worried, but she couldn't help but wonder...

The sound of a door opening and closing brought the blonde out of her thoughts. "He's home..." She thought out loud as she made her way toward the bathroom door. She stopped just as her fingers brushed against the handle, and composed herself before opening the door fully.

When she opened it and stepped out, she saw her husband, Natsu, spread out on the living room couch. A small laugh escaped her lips at the sight, somehow, just being in his presence seemed to calm her nerves. He turned to her and grinned widely.

"...hey, Natsu..." She spoke quietly, moving a bit closer towards him.

"Yeah, Luce?" He asked, concerned by her sudden change in tone, as he sat up straight. She twisted her fingers together nervously as she stared at the floor, and he knew something was up, she's almost never like this... "Is there something wrong?"

"Yes, well no...I suppose not." She tripped over her words, and this got him confused. Is she sick or something? Suddenly, his eyes widened in realization of something.

"Luce, you smell different?" She stiffened and he noticed...what's up with her?

"I..." She trailed off. "Well...um..I'm..." She couldn't say the words out loud, so she quickly thought of something else. She made her way to sit next to him and he scooted over to give her room.

"What is it?" Natsu spoke again, "you can tell me." She still continued to look at her lap, completely silent. After about a minute of no talking, he started to get up, but then she said something that made him confused.

"Happy Father's Day." He sat back down, and faced her with a confused expression.

"Wha? Lucy, what are you talking about? I'm not a da-" he was cut off by her soft voice.

"Yes you are..." She was quiet, and if he wasn't a dragon slayer, he didn't think he would have heard it.

"Y-you're what?" He asked, shocked by the sudden news.

She didn't answer, she just looked away, eyes slightly watery. He leaned towards her, gently placing one of his hands on top of her stomach. She stiffened a bit, but then relaxed.

"I-I'm gonna be a f-father..." His voice was watery as he choked back a sob. Tears filled his eyes, not of sadness, but tears of happiness and joy.

His onyx eyes met Lucy's caramel ones, both watery. Her eyes widened at this, he was crying...was he not happy? She thought sadly.

Then he did something she wasn't expecting...

He kissed her.

It was full of love and compassion, for both her and their unborn child. She was surprised, but soon melted into it.

He broke the kiss, but continued to press soft, quick kisses over her lips and cheeks. She laughed a bit at his actions, but he was too happy to care.

He lowered his head to her stomach and gave it a sweet kiss. "I'm gonna be a dad." He spoke quietly, and Lucy couldn't help but stare. He looked so happy, and she regretted even thinking that he wouldn't be.

"I'm gonna be a dad!" He repeated, louder than before as he stared at his wife with wide, cheerful eyes and a face splitting grin. He hugged her tightly and she hugged back.

One hand slowly caressed her stomach as he spoke, "I love you so much." His voice was soft and loving.

"Yeah, I love you too."
