What a princess would do for her family

Chatper 43: The aftermath

Lucy's PoV

When I woke up I was laying in Natsu's bed at our house. I looked around me and found that Natsu had been hugging me. I rested my head on his chest and lifted my left hand to my face. Then I saw the twinkling, pink rock on my finger. So it wasn't a dream. I giggled to myself as I remembered the events of the evening before. I looked up and saw that Natsu was looking down at me with loving eyes. "Morning." He croaked, his voice still deep and raspy because he had just woken up. "Morning, Hubby." I giggled. He pulled me, with one arm, on to his chest so I was sitting in his lap. "So, how does it feel to be the fiancé of the all mighty and great Natsu Dragoneel." He pronounced, sitting up and wrapping his arms around my waist. "Probably the best feeling in the world." I giggled and wrapped my arms around his neck. "I'm glad, but you know I'm going to make you happier everyday." He smirked, resting his forehead on mine. "I'm not quite sure I can be any happier." I smiled, my good mood overflowing. "Oh don't worry. I can." He smirked again and started to get up. "Woah. What are you going?!" I squealed as he got out of the bed and walked to the living room. "I'm taking care of my wonderful wife to be." He pushed to door open with his foot, seeing that he was folding me with his arms. We walked to the kitchen and he sat me down in a chair. He walked to the fridge and got breakfast food out. "I can help-." I was cut off. "No, no. I'm the husband here." He insisted. "Okay." I gave up, knowing he wouldn't let me help. I crossed my legs on my chair and rest my head on the table. Then I feel a cold breeze, coming from the open window, and I shiver, seeing that I only had one of Natsu's tops on, which was too big for me. "Are you okay? Take this, I don't want you to get a cold." He runs to my room and throws me a large blanket. "Thanks." I quickly put it on my icy legs and feel warm again.

When I look over to the fridge I see a small note on it. "Hey, what's that?" I get up and walk to it. "I don't know." Natsu replies. I look at the note, and in scribbly writing, it says. 'Gone to Wendy's for the night. See the happy couple at the guild. Happy and Luna.' I say aloud. "I guess we're all alone." Natsu says, putting a big plate of pancakes in the table. I jump back to my seat and start to dig in. "Hey! Don't choke!" Natsu warns me, but I continue as I am.

After that we shower and head to the guild, not forgetting to put my necklace that matched Natsu's, and the ring of course, but I didn't take that off. "Hey minna!" We shout as we hold hands. "Hey Natus! Hey Lucy!" The guild shouts back. "Hello Mr and Mrs Dragoneel." Levy runs up. "Hey Levy!" I hug her, letting go of Natsu's hand. "Hey Lucy. I'm sorry for keeping the secret. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't want to be friends anymore." Lizanna sulked. "What are you talking about?! Of course I want to keep you as my best friend! Why wouldn't I?" I ask, hugging her. "Well, I kept that big secret from you and made you and Natsu to have a fight." She pouts. "That's because it was a surprise, and the second one is Gray's fault." I pout as well, crossing my arms. "How is it my fault?!" Gray screams, as we all sit on our usual table. "You misread the situation and told me he was cheating in me!" I retaliate. "It looked like that." He mumbled, looking away from everyone else. "ANYWAY. How are you Ersa?" Levy changed the subject. "Yeah, you seem awfully cheerful this early in the morning." Mira says, placing drinks for our table. "It's nothing! I wouldn't want to steal your thunder!" Ersa blushes an insane shade of red. "Oh come on! Now I want to hear more!" Luna flies over, Wendy, Happy and Carla in tow. "Okay.... Well.,.... Um...... Jerral is joining the guild!!!!!!!" She squealed, throwing her hands in the air. "Wow really! I'm so happy for you Ersa-San!" Wendy hugs Ersa. "That's great news Ersa! Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Happy asked. "Well, because, Natsu asked Lucy to marry him." Ersa pushed her fingers together shyly. "That's no reason to not tell us! When is he joining! I want to fight him!" Natsu slams his fists on the table.

Just as Ersa's about to answer, the guild doors fly open. Standing there is the exact person we've been talking about. "JERRAL!!" Our group shouts, except for Ersa, who's blushing like crazy. "Hey Fairy Tail!" He waves as he walks to our table. "So a little, red headed birdie told us you were joining our guild." Natsu flings his arm over Jerral's shoulder. "That's right." He smiles in Ersa's direction. Then see my hand. "Woah! So the dragon slayer finally asked, huh?" Jerral pointed at the ring on my finger. "Yep! He asked last night!" I look down at the ring. "That's great! Next thing we know, there'll be little Natsu's and Lucy's running around the guild." He chuckles. "What about little Natsu's and Lucy's!? You're already pregnant!?" Mira is in front of us in a flash. "No, no. No, no." I wave my hands. "Aww. You got my hopes up." She pout and slouches, heading back to the bar. We all chuckle.

Then Master comes out. "Alright brats! As we all know, Natsu's and Wendy's dragons, Igneel and Grandeeney, are getting married on Saturday. As it is Wednesday, we have two days to prepare!" Master announces. "Why do we have to prepare!? Aren't they having it in the Dragon Realm!?" Someone shouts out. "They want us to attend, but because wizards without dragon slaying magic aren't aloud in, due to their beliefs, they're having it here! In our guild!" Master finishes. Then the whole guild goes into wide spread panic. "Calm down brats! If we calm down and work together! We should be able to finish in time! Mira already has everybody's jobs in order! So just mak-!" Before he can finish his speech everyone runs to crowd Mira, getting their jobs.

And so the rush to get a wedding finished, begins.
