Three weeks passed since they heard the update. Natsu was summoned to the magic council to be asked questions about his ordeal. His emotional turmoil made them stick to unexacting queries but as they proceeded with the ersatz tribunal his rambles became more ominous to the ears of the councilmen. Eventually Natsu was escorted out and into the hall to take a breather practicing the coping skills he was trying so hard to rely on. Letting his sweaty palms cradle his chin he tensed as he felt a light weight rest on his shoulder blade but visibly relaxed as he noticed his gorgeous sweetheart. Letting his obsidian eye peep up at her he noticed how she wiped the corner of her cerise lips with a paper towel. He already knew she was rushing to the bathrooms to vomit... and that she had a bulge on her perfect abdomen. He could practically smell the pregnancy hormones coming off her. Shifting so he could look at her cute face more clearly he rested his hands on the crooks of his kneecaps and smiled lovingly at her. It was one of those moments he felt like he was still a rowdy eighteen year old who traveled on outrageous adventures with his best friends. Taking her delicate hand in his substantial one he pulled her down into his lap and wrapped his lean arms around her frame burying his nose in her silky hair.
I love you...
To say the least Lucy was not expecting such a coddling move from the nervous dragon slayer. Her vast auburn eyes widened in alarm when he dragged her down only to soften when his body pressed gently against hers. She felt his grip tighten when they came back to retrieve her man and he kissed the base of her neck affectionately as his hand lingered on her belly for a moment longer before getting up to leave. To say the less it was a surprising move from Natsu, especially since his liberation but what got her the most was the touch he had made to her stomach. Never had he done such a thing and it was clear to her he knew. Watching as the doors to the huge court room closed, she then hastily held a quick firm grip on her bag and dashed for the food stand outside.
God dammit she had never been this hungry before!
