The room was silent. Gazing down at Lucy who was sleeping peacefully, Natsu buried his head into his sweaty hands. It had been two days since his girlfriend has mysteriously collapsed in the middle of the guild hall, in front of everybody. She did not stir. The pink-haired salamander sat back in his seat, sighing deeply.

"What's wrong with ya Luce? I hope it's nothing too serious, I can't imagine life without you..." He breathed, taking Lucy's limp hand gently. As Natsu leaned forward to kiss the blonde Heartfilia's forehead, the door to the guild's medical facility burst open and Porlyusica rushed to Lucy's side. Latching onto her arm, Natsu shook her vigorously.

"Do you now what's wrong with her? PLEASE TELL ME!" He pleaded, glancing down Lucy who was as pale as a ghost. Porlyusica shoved him aside. Arranging her equipment, the doctor glared at Natsu. One question seemed to linger in her mind as she analysed him.

"Natsu Dragneel, right? How old are you?" She asked, placing her wrinkly palm across Lucy's forehead, taking her temperature. The dragon slayer tilted his head in confusion.

"Excuse me? How is any of this relevant right now? If you must know, I'm 16." The annoyed salamander sighed, constantly checking on his girlfriend.

"16? You're a bit young aren't you?" The doctor moaned as she looked over some paper work. Natsu's confusion grew. Too young for what? Twitching a little, Lucy's hand began to move a little - her boyfriend raced to her side hastily. Reassured by Natsu's loving smile, the blonde mage slowly sat up and rubbed her bronze eyes with her pink sleeve.

"What happened?" She murmured as she took a sip of water. Everything was a blur.

"You randomly collapsed this morning, at the Guild," her companion explained "how are you feeling?" Lucy had never been so puzzled in her entire life. The possible reasons for this were endless: malnutrition, sleep deprivation, dehydration or maybe even hot weather? Lucy gently adjusted her positioning on the bed.

"Yeah. I'm okay now. Ugh, how embarrassing. There must have been so many people there." She cringed at the thought. Lucy despised public humiliation more than anything. Just imagining the gobsmacked expressions on everyone's faces as she tumbled to the floor was enough to make her stomach flip. Maybe this will have all blown over by tomorrow.

The wise, old Porlyusica gawked down at the loving pair once again. Oh, how long it had been since she'd been protected and adored in such a way. Snapping back into reality, the doctor slouched down into her red armchair and sighed deeply.

"You two are going to be parents. Lucy's pregnant - about two weeks along." She said casually.
