~Lucy POV~

I opened the blinds to our new house, letting the sunlight come through, stroking my skin gently.

I placed my hands on my baby bump and stroked it gently. "Morning baby." I whispered softly to the child I was bearing inside, due to come out any minute. The anticipation to be able to hold my son or daughter was killing me. I couldn't wait.

"Morning to you too Luce." Natsu said, embracing me from behind.

"I wasn't saying it to you, idiot." I giggled but sank into his embrace. "Where's your uniform ?"

"They said I can stay off work until the baby hurries up and comes out of there. Still don't know how it will I mean...is it like taking a big massive poo ? Those are painful.."

I know. He hasn't changed at all has he ? . "No Natsu. I already told you half a million times how babies come out ! Do I have to draw you a diagram or something ?"

"Now that would be helpful. By the way, how are babies made ?"

"...you didn't just ask that Natsu..."

"I did."

"I honestly can't believe you just asked that I mean-"

"I'm joking. Idiot." Natsu laughed as my shocked expression relaxed. "I just can't wait to be able to hold our child. A little you and me running around our new peaceful house with nothing to worry about. We're free at last." He smiled.

"Yes...I still would've felt safe because you're here with me, Natsu." I placed my hand over his, intertwining our fingers.

"I love you." Natsu smiled pecking my cheek. "And I still bet you that the baby is a boy."

I pulled my hand back rapidly. "No ! It's going to be a girl. I'm telling you it is !"

"Whatever." He scoffed. "I'm going to make us breakfast."
I watched as he swung his legs out of bed and walked out the door. I'm praying he won't set fire to the kitchen, although to be fair Natsu has improved a lot. We used to have to call the fire brigade almost every Saturday which was the day Natsu was off work and decided to cook for me. It wasn't a good idea at all.

I heave myself up and waddle towards the door. "Please hurry up and come out, my back is in agony." I groan to the baby. "I still love you though."

I slip on my slippers and exit my room, making my way towards the baby's room. We decided to keep its gender a surprise so I had to refrain from buying any dresses, although I'm sure that it's a girl. I just couldn't wait to be able to hold it and cradle it and hum lullabies to it. It's so strange looking back seeing how far me and Natsu have come. Juvia's baby is also due round about this time too so Natsu and Gray have been asking each other constantly for advice. Their baby is going to be a little girl which Juvia was thrilled about.

It's so strange to think just a few months ago me and the baby both had our lives in danger...and Natsu managed to save us. He's done so much for us, leaving everything behind, getting a job and buying us a beautiful house.

My best choice in life was to marry him. Every day that goes by I love him more.

I drift off to the kitchen and lean against the door frame with one hand on my belly as I admire him. However I am refraining to facepalm watching him struggle with the freaking toaster.

"Gosh Natsu ! It's a toaster you idiot." I laugh, walking over and fixing it for him. "And you don't put knives in the toaster ! You could get an electric shock."
