~Natsu POV~

Me ? A Father ?

I was left completely speechless, with a blank expression covering my face.

I was feeling a whole different mix of emotions. I was scared incase I wouldn't be a good enough father to the child but I was also happy because I'd finally be able to be a father and not follow in my dad's footsteps.

The only problem is now I really do have to be careful what I do because the baby is in huge danger. If something happens to me, I'd be leaving Lucy in the hands of bumble bee and psycho grandad.

"Yoo-hoo. Natsu to Earth. What ? You don't want to be a father ? I'd be more than glad to take your place you know...." Said Sting placing his hand on Lucy's stomach. I felt jealousy stir up inside of me as I clenched my teeth and desperately tried to break free from the people holding me back.

"Let me go !" I shouted fiercely. The veins on my neck were beginning to show up as I grew angrier by the minute.

"Ha.ha.ha. Weak. You know what ? I'm feeling nice today. How about we give these two some time alone before I come back and kill them myself. Side kicks you're free to go."

Oh no. No, no, no, no ! The plan ! It's going to fail. Gray was meant to pretend kill me and then drag me away but this way he won't be able to.

I'll die unless I come up with a plan B.

"You have ten minutes. Don't think that's enough time for the last, you know. So maybe you should restrain it to talking." He said shutting the door behind him. His sidekicks looked at each other before stepping out the door one by one leaving just me and Lucy...and one more sidekick. Gray.

"Gray ! I'm freaking out ! What will I do now-" Gray placed a hand on my mouth to shut me up as I was subconsciously shouting due to the panicked state I was currently in.

"Take this." He said sliding a gun in my pocket. "Shoot them before they shoot you. You only have three bullets left so aim well my friend. I know you can do it. Don't get yourself killed out there Natsu...remember after this we're all moving from here." I nodded my head and secured the gun in my pocket as I took some deep breathes to try and stabilise my breathe back to normal.

"Thanks bro. Get out of here before they figure out who you are." I said giving Gray a faint smile. He quickly opened up the window and jumped out. Luckily it was on ground floor so he landed lightly and safely. He really did have this all planned out.

"Natsu, I'm so sorry I just-"

"Lucy, don't be sorry. I'm so happy ! I can't wait until I get to meet the baby. We can finally have our own family.." A small smile played on my lips at the mention of the word family. Mines was destroyed therefore I no longer beloved in such thing but ever since I met Lucy she made me believe in love and family values again.

"I'm just sorry you had to find out like this..." She sobbed slightly. "I was planning to tell you as I made your favourite meal..."

"I know, I saw the scattered chicken wings and spicy sauce on the pavement. But don't worry Luce. We'll both get out of here fine..well...all three of us will." I said placing a small kiss on her cheek.

"Thank you Natsu." She held my hand tightly as if she never wanted to let go.

I never wanted to let go of hers either. I just have to hope that I aim right and I'll be able to hold not only her hand again, but our little baby's hand too.

"Time up !" Shouted Sting bursting through the room.

"That was only eight minutes you dumbass." I stated as he flashed me a glare which I gladly returned.

"Well Dragneel, it's time for you to die. Igneel said he doesn't want to witness your death so I'll be the only one-"

I quickly ran over to Sting and tackled him down to the ground, taking him off guard.

"Give up Dragneel ! You'll never win !" He said trying to wriggle his gun out of his pocket. I tried to keep him pinned down but he managed to free one arm and use it to punch me.

He grabbed me by my hood and threw me across the room, making my back smash into the wooden table.

"Natsu !" Shouted Lucy. I looked over to her. Her eyes were watery and full of concern. I gathered all my strengths and pulled myself back up ready to attack Sting once again. "Natsu he has the gun !" Shouted Lucy.

I looked over at him as I wiped the blood off my lip using the back of my hand. I grabbed a photo frame with a picture of Sting and my dad and threw it at him. This didn't hurt him much but it distracted him enough for me to floor him.

"Oh wow! You sure are a strong and fast man....it's a shame you don't look behind you much."

"NOO !" I heard Lucy scream as a piercing pain struck through my shoulder.

"I don't just have guns Dragneel." I grabbed onto my shoulder panting desperately, trying to ignore the pain.

He managed to floor me in one swift movement due to my injury and I was unable to move. He stood above me as I desperately struggled to get up, but my shoulder was acting like an anchor, stopping me from moving.

"Any last words Dragneel ?"

"More like, any last words Sting ?" Said Gray appearing in the window frame. "Well well, hello ! Or should I say...goodbye Sting." He aimed the gun right in Sting's chest and pulled the trigger without thinking about it twice.

"Thanks...Gray..."

"Don't thank me, thank Mr Gajeel here." A small head immersed from the window with a big cheesy grin.

"Gihi"

"Thanks Gajeel..." I said wincing slightly.

"Natsu !" Lucy said analysing my wound.

"Ill be fine Luce. It's only just a scratch-"

*Bang*

"GRAY !"
