Uncharted Territory (Nalu)

🇯🇵22

After watching Lucy for a good week, Natsu had come to a conclusion.

He had gotten his fiancé knocked up.

At first he was reallyreally happy at the thought of having a child and starting a family with Lucy but then after a couple of minutes, he realized that having a child now was going to be a bad thing.

He and Lucy were still in college and they have decided to get married when they finish college but having a baby before marriage seemed a bit fast to him. And it felt a bit weird that Lucy wasn't experiencing any morning sickness or anything. And it was weirder that he was the first one to know than the woman herself who was carrying the child.

Natsu had thought about talking about it with her but he thought maybe he should wait for her to speak up before he can.

But waiting for a good week was making Natsu impatient and he almost broke down but he regained his composer for his beautiful fiancé. He didn't want to freak her out and waste lots of money by going to the doctors to do a certain check-up.

And so, that leads to the day where he finally wanted to talk about it.

"Hey, Lucy?"

"Hmm?"

"Can we talk?"

"About what?" Lucy asked as she looked at Natsu who stood on the other side of the counter, looking at her with a serious look that it kind of scared her. Natsu cleared his throat and prepared to talk, wondering how to break it to her.

"Uhm, well, after a week of observing you—"

"What?"

"—I've come to the conclusion that..." Natsu pursed his lips as he tried thinking of a better way to phrase the word, you're pregnant. "That..?" Lucy trailed on making Natsu sigh heavily.

"That... you... might... be... preggers..." He said slowly and softly to make sure she didn't freak out. He watched as her face turned into confusion after she had processed what he has just said to her.

"That I might be what?"

"Pregnant."

"Pregnant?"

"Yes, pregnant."

Natsu watched her face turn into a more confused face as she stared at him as if he was the crazy one. "What? I'm not pregnant."

"But you are!" Natsu suddenly yelled making Lucy flinch and stare at him in bewilderment. She continued to stare at him until she shook her head, making him groan. "Lucy, I know you're pregnant."

"How?"

"Because you're moody and you crave food you usually don't eat—if that doesn't explain your pregnancy than I don't know what does."

Lucy stared at Natsu to see if he was joking but he wasn't and she just started to laugh like a mad woman. Natsu watched her laugh and throw her head back, his eyes widening over the woman he thought he's seen every side to. Once she finished her little fit of laughter, she sighed and looked at Natsu who still kept his horrified face on.

"Natsu, how can I be pregnant if I started my period 2 days ago?"

"It's just a sign that the baby is growing!" Natsu yelled to keep the excuse that he was right and she was wrong. He's been thinking about this for a long time and now it can't backfire on him because of her gift.

Lucy sighed and rolled her eyes, shifting from her right foot to her left. "Alright then, if you're so persistent about me being pregnant—go buy me a pregnancy test and let's see who's right."
