Dragons, Fairies and The Celestial Empress

Chapter 22

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.
