Nothing Accidental About Love (NALU)

Chapter 13 Part 1

Natsu's POV
The plan was simple I already had reservations at the Water Dragon's Den Inn, I'll just carry her there. I had already sent much of what we would need after the wedding on ahead of us and frankly it should arrive sometime tomorrow anyway. I smile to myself. I'll take Lucy tonight I'll pack a small bag of clothes, a large bag for her frozen fire and carry her and our eggs to the hot springs.

I continue to purr the lullaby as I carefully get up, not waking her, and start packing the bag of our clothes. We were originally going to be staying after she woke up and again after the wedding but neither of us were expecting her hibernation to take so long.

My purring continued to echo off the walls voicing back stronger and more harmonic as it progressed. I smile finding my old bag that I used to carry all my stuff in including food. It was a huge bag perfect for the frozen fire. I pull out a warm change of clothes for Lucy and go ahead and change her and as I do I heard a little squeak.

I look up sharply to find Levy in the doorway to the nursery. I smile at her and motion for her to be silent. I quickly finish changing Lucy and tuck her back into bed making sure the covers where thoroughly heated with my fire first. I smile and grab my oversized backpack and head to the door motioning for Levy to follow me.

We walked in silence and we went into the kitchen. I went directly to the deep freezer and started putting the frozen fire into the bag. Making sure to stuff it.

"What are you doing? Why did you change her out of her PJ's? Why are you packing?" Levy's questions were almost as bad as Gray's but at least she knew when to wait to ask.

I try unsuccessfully to stop myself from sighing out loud. She heard it anyway. "Lucy is to tired. She just passed out after completing the contact with you," I tell her. I see her look of confusion. "The vow that made you our babies God Mother." I'm really trying not to get fed up I know that she was over excited but still.

She nods waiting for me to continue. "So I'm taking her to a hot springs for a few days we should be back the afternoon before the wedding," I tell her quite proud of myself for having come up with the plan.

"Oh that's so sweet, but wait doesn't that mean your going to have to carry her all the way there?" She asked. I'm glad she know to praise first and question after.

I grin at her, "Yeah, but it's only a four hour flight the wind is in my favor and the moon is 3/4 waning so there is plenty of light. Also We've been there before. I'll write it down for you after we get back they are particularly good to dragon slayers." My excitement was getting the best of me. "If only I could tell them we were coming," I frown and look at the clock 3:30 am.

Levy just shakes her head at me and laughs. "Haven't you ever heard of a communication lacrima?" She asks.

I just stare at her for a minute, "Nope."

"Do you have a business card or something from them?" she asked a little exasperated her eyes now closed and one hand covering her face.

I hand it to her it was still in the bag I was just packing. She took one look at it and punched something on a lacrima stone and put it next to her ear. Surprising enough I could hear someone from the device. Spooky, I cringe.

"Yes I'm calling to inform you that Natsu Dragneel will be arriving in the morning and would like to have his room prepared." Levy said to the device. "Natsu do you want all the same accommodations as last time?" She asks turning to me.

I nod and grin. "Can I see that?" I ask her. She nods I take it carefully and put it by my ear. "Hello, this is Natsu Dragneel."

"Good evening sir. There was something you were wanting to add?" A pleasant ladies voice reached my ears.

"Yes, first I would like to confirm the accommodations already set up. If that wouldn't be too much trouble?" I ask her. I am the King of the dragons now I have to be at least semi formal with my interactions. I try to ignore Levy who is making a shocked face at me right now. Her jaw is literally hanging open and her eyes are about to start watering from the exposure. I turn a little and I must have hit a button because it was put on a loud speaker. I muffled my hiss as her voice came across the line almost deafening me.

"Of course Mr. Dragneel, we have a private spa booked after dinner when the rest of our spas close for the night. We have a dragon size banquet for three set to be delivered for all three meals of the day and the selected flowers to be delivered with said meals. Also that your empty food carts will be pushed out into the hall when completed to be picked up. Also our cleaning staff will clean the room while you and your queen are using the spa. Have I neglected anything sir?" I had remained silent throughout making sure to catch everything.

"Yes, that is perfectly correct. Also could you substitute any strawberries or strawberry flavored items on the menu for say watermelon or some other item it does not really matter and also can I have two jars of dill pickles and two large tubs of whipped topping put on every meal delivery?" Also is there anyway that we can have breakfast delivered this morning on such short notice?" I know I'm asking a lot but it couldn't hurt to ask.

"Oh course sir, we would be happy to provide that for you!" The cheerful woman was quite enthusiastic. My ears felt like they were about to bleed. "Oh sir I see a note that you will be bringing eggs with you this time would you like a special carrier for the spa?"

"Yes please, wonderful. Can I also have a special item delivered tomorrow evening with dinner?" I ask her holding my breath a little.

"What kind of item sir?"

"I have read that there is a special kind of bath salts that relieves fatigue and muscels aches. Not normal bath salts but a magic based kind." I tell her.

"Of course sir, we sell them in our gift shop. What scent would you like and would you like me to add it to your tab as well?"

"Vanilla please my queen has been having quite the trouble with strawberry scented anything since the morning sickness started. Yes I would, also could you tell me the total so that I can pay in advance as I did last time?" I ask her. Thankful that I didn't have to guess about it. She told me and I thanked her for her time and patience for dealing with me at such a late hour. She hung up and I turn to hand the device back to Levy and froze.

Levy was in exactly the same stance as before, her mouth still hanging open and her eyes still unnaturally wide open. I lean forward and wave a hand in front of her face. She startled and jumped up like I had burned her. She wiped her face and stared at me. "Who are you?" She finally asked.

"Uh Natsu Dragneel, King of the dragons mate to Lucy Queen of the dragons. Formily known as E.N.D. before Lucy saved me." I kind of figured that the sarcasm was obvious but I guess not.

"E.N.D.? But I thought that was a demon?" She gaped at me.

I roll my eyes at her, "Ask Gray about it if you really want to know, I don't really care but right now I'm in a hurry."

She looks at the clock and deadpans. I cringe and look up as well. 4 am. "I'll fly you back to Fairy Hill try not to scream okay?" she nods and we go outside. The flight really didn't take that long and I set her down and waited for her to go inside before turning and leaving. Lucy would kill me if I let anything happen to her.

I return home and put the bag by the door and climb the stairs to my mate. She is still fast asleep but she had started shivering again. I frown this is starting to make me worry. I heat her up again and wrap more clothes on her before taking her downstairs. I shoulder the bag and carry Lucy outside our eggs safely around her neck against my chest. I take off as fast as I can go. The flight was still almost four hours but I did it even while carrying Lucy.

I walk up to the front desk and just show them my neck they quickly bow and lead me to my room making sure to stay quite the whole way there. I finally laid Lucy down on the bed and used my fire to heat her up again before returning to the door. I paid my bill and they left promising to have it breakfast ready soon.

I returned to Lucy and changed her clothes into her pink tank top and soft pink mini shorts. I swear she owns more pink than any other color there is. I again heat her up as well as the blankets this time and tuck her in.

"Lucy," I say kissing her deeply. "I have a surprise for you." My kiss lingering on her lips.
