On the run [Completed] (Fairy Tail Fanfic) NaLu

Chapter 21

Natsu was seething. He was on the verge of bursting into flames. Erza was by Lucy's side trying to calm her down. The picture she saw scared her. Lisanna had actually written, "I am going to kill you" on a picture of her face. Lucy was truly scared; she wouldn't put it past her to do that. After all she did use a mind-controlling potion on their guild members.

"Boy calm down! Throwing a temper tantrum is not helping anyone!" Makarov bellowed.

"A temper tantrum? Are you kidding me! That BITCH threatened the LOVE OF MY LIFE! There is no way in hell that I am letting that psycho near my mate!" Natsu seethed.

"Natsu, please calm dow..." Lucy tried to calm her but collapsed clutching her stomach.

"LUCE!" Natsu immediately ran to her side.

"What happened?" Erza was worried.

Lucy passed out from the pain; Natsu immediately picked her up and carried her to their bedroom. Leaving Makarov, Laxus and Erza in the living room; they were all worried.

"Maybe it wasn't a good idea to show them the picture," Laxus said to no one.

Once he placed her on their bed, Natsu summoned Virgo. Loke showed up as well, sensing Lucy's distress.

While Virgo was tending to Lucy, Natsu was explaining to Loke what transpired. Loke was shaking with fury. Once Virgo was done treating her master, she turned to both men and told them what happened.

"It seems that recent events have put a lot of stress on Hime and on the baby. I recommend that she remain on bed rest until the end of her term. Please make sure that she is in a relaxed and stress free environment. I will take my leave now." With that Virgo bowed and disappeared.

Loke stayed behind, he decided to join the others in the living room, giving the couple some privacy.

Natsu walked over to Lucy and sat by her side. He leaned in and kissed her forehead.

"I promise you Lucy that I will protect you and our child with my life" He kissed her again and tucked her in bed and walked out of the room. Lucy was fast asleep.

Once he joined the others, he found his guest huddled together talking about something.

"What's going on now?" Natsu said with slight annoyance in his voice. He was getting really tired and it wasn't even noon yet.

"We have a plan to lure that traitor out of hiding" Erza spoke up.

"What's the plan?"

"What would you say to announcing your upcoming wedding to Sorcerer's Weekly?" Laxus asked

"What?"

"Think about it, if we announce that you are getting married to Luce and leak details about the ceremony, Lisanna would be so furious that she would do anything to crash and ruin the ceremony" Erza kept on explaining the plan.

To be honest, Natsu found it to be quite risky, putting Lucy in the public eye like that puts a bull's eye on her forehead. Plus this would put too much stress on her, something she doesn't need right now.

"It's too risky, I will not let you use Lucy as bait. Lisanna is psychotic, who knows what she might do. Don't forget, she can use transformation magic" Natsu was worried.

"You forget that transformation magic isn't her strong suit. Lisanna can't keep her transformation up for more than 10 minutes. She likes to boast how strong she is but she is pretty weak magically" Laxus couldn't help but add that last part about the youngest Strauss sibling.

"Natsu, you forget, aside from the guild and Sabertooth, no one knows about Lucy's pregnancy, and everyone involved is sworn to secrecy. We can use Gemini to transform into Lucy and have her walk around out in public. The Celestial King has improved everyone's powers since we are now allowed to walk freely through or gates. Gemi can transform into Lucy and Mini into you, so this way you won't have to leave Lucy's side" Loke was finally getting through to him.

"As long as I am not away from My Luce and that she is kept safe, I guess we can do that" Natsu finally conceded.

Makarov was glad he won the young fire dragon slayer over. He needed to finish this once and for all.

A few weeks had passed since their meeting. Lucy was resting well in bed, snuggled up next to her mate. They decided to start planning their real wedding, not the fake one the guild is planning to lure Lisanna out.

"I was thinking that we do it after the baby is born. What do you think" Lucy looked up to her mate.

"Hmm, sounds like a good idea. You know, I can't wait to see our baby, and I can't wait to be married. Well we kind of are since we matted" Natsu smirked.

They spend most of their time relaxing, Lucy needed to distract herself, and she was growing restless being in bed all the time. She and Natsu would sometimes spend their time decorating the baby's room. Lucy decided to start writing again to get her creative juices flowing. After much pestering, she decided to let Natsu read some of her old stories.

"Luce, I don't know what you were always so secretive about your stories. They are awesome!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, you should get them published!" This earned Natsu a pillow in the face.

Back at the guild, Gemi and Mini were posing as Natsu and Lucy; Sorcerer's Weekly famed reporter, Jason, was interviewing them. He also snapped a few pictures of the "happy couple". Once he was done he bid everyone farewell and headed back to the office to finish up his story and have the article and pictures printed.

A week later the issue was out and all of Magnolia was a buzz with the news. The news reached as far as Crocus.

In a shady dark hotel room, an enraged takeover mage was throwing furniture across the room, not caring about the damage.

"NO NO NO NO! Natsu is supposed to marry me! I will not let him marry that blond bitch! Natsu is mine. MINE!" Lisanna was seething.

"Prepare to die Lucy Heartfillia!" Lisanna then punched the mirror in the room, not caring about the blood streaming down her hand.
