Lucy ran down the street towards the guild, tears streaming down her face. What was wrong with him? She could hardly believe how distraught she was at the moment. Pain jolted her and she stopped, gasping for breath. Liquid ran down her legs and she felt tears welling in her eyes as she realized what it meant. The baby was coming. Waddling she tried to get towards the guild for help. Finally she reached the guild and Mira and Lisanna helped Lucy get up the stairs and into the infirmary. She sat down on the bed as the first contractions began.

"AHHH!" she screeched, feeling the pain welling up in the pit of her belly. Mira got in front of her, spreading the woman's legs. Seeing Lucy convulse she measured, seeing Lucy was already at 4cm.

"Alright Lucy, you're doing wonderful" Mira said, Lucy shuddering as another contraction hit her. It was a full thirty minutes before she was dilated at 10 centimeters.

"Okay Lucy, I need you to push" Mira said calmly as Lisanna wiped a cold rag on Lucy's forehead. The woman screamed in agony as she pushed hard, trying to get the baby out of her.

"Push!"

"AHH!"

Urine splashed onto the table as Lucy gave another push. The top of the baby's head was seen, and with another couple of pushes the baby's head was fully out. Lisanna cleaned the baby's nose and mouth of fluids while Mira urged Lucy to push. The rest of the baby slipped out and the umbilical cord was cut. The child began to cry loudly, and wasn't comforted until Lisanna wiped them off with a towel and clothing them before handing the baby to Lucy. Tiredly, Lucy held her baby close and released her breast, letting the child latch on and suckles from her breast. Lucy observed her baby closely. A head full of pink hair and chocolate eyes. Without realizing it the placenta slipped of Lucy's vagina as well, and Mira grabbed it and disposed of it properly. Cradling her new baby Lucy looked down and saw her baby was a girl. Tears of joy rushed down Lucy's face and she cried, kissing her daughters head.

Minutes passed by when the door busted open and in walked Natsu, his eyes widening at the new life his girlfriend held in her arms.

"She looks like me" Natsu stated, walking up to the side of the bed. His eyes stared in wonderment at his daughter. Reaching out he looked at Lucy for permission to hold his baby, and she nodded and held their daughter out to him. Taking her from her mother's arms he cradled the baby to his chest, tears welling up in his eyes. Lucy watched as her boyfriend doted on his daughter, forgetting the incident that had happened before the birth of their daughter.

"What should we name her?" Lucy asked, her eyes beginning to droop. "I was thinking Nashi"

Natsu nodded at this name as Lucy began to sleep.

"Nashi is prefect"
