"Natsuuu... I'm really hot!"

"I know you are, Luce."

"I didn't mean it like that!"

Snickering at his wife's distress, the rosy-haired Dragneel stared at Lucy in amusement as she whined about the weather. It was the end of May and close to June as the hot weather started to come along. And since Lucy was nine months pregnant and almost due, she was sensitive to the weather. At time when it was super hot, she would be freezing and when it was cold at times, she would be hot.

Baby Igneel was messing up their entire lifestyle and it drove everyone crazy.

Especially since he was due anytime soon.

"Please, do something about it, Natsu."

"I can't just change the weather, Luce. And the air conditioning is on full blast right now," he pointed out as he tried his best not to laugh at his wife. "I'm wearing a fucking sweater for fuck sakes!"

Grabbing the small cushion, the blonde threw it right at her husband who easily caught it in his hands.

"Watch your mouth! Iggy has ears now!"

"He's been having ears since month two," he chuckled as another pillow was thrown his way. "I'm sure he heard his mother say loads of stuff before."

Groaning out, Lucy leaned against the couch and whined even louder as she wiped the sweat away from her forehead. "I'm going to have to walk around naked if it continues to become hot like this." She huffed making Natsu laugh out loud.

"I don't mind that at all!"

Throwing her husband a dirty look, the blonde struggled to sit up and stand up as her baby bump was too big, now.

Noticing the struggling of his wife, Natsu quickly got up and went to her aid as he at her back down. "Lucy—where are you going? You can barely walk; let me get it for you." He offered but she only shook her head. "Please. I can't have you walking around and accidentally falling over because of Igneel."

"Is it because I'm nine months pregnant?"

"It is because you're nine months pregnant. Besides, I don't want you moving too much before your doctor's appointment." He said as he eyed the clock that said it was barely three in the afternoon. "So just relax for another hour and then we'll be—"

"Why are you so paranoid?" She questioned making him stiffen up. "Is it because of what Lisanna did to you last week?"

Narrowing his gaze to the floor, Natsu became dead silent as he remembered how Lisanna called him pretending to freak out about how Lucy was going into labor.

Never again will he believe her again.

"Natsu?"

"Of course not!" He practically snapped as he cleared his throat and stood up to stretch. "I'll get you some juice, yeah?"

Nodding in agreement, the blonde just watched her husband walk away awkwardly as she felt her large baby bump. She could feel the warmth that was coming from her son and it instantly made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

She waited nine months for this and now that it was coming close, she became nervous.

Thinking about being in public and having to go into labor made her inside tremble and thinking about going into labor just made her want to pass out.

Reading and listening to all the stories about giving birth made her sick to her stomach.

Giving her stomach a light tap, the blonde cooed at her unborn son. "Iggy, you love mommy so you won't give mommy a rough time, right?"
