Nothing Accidental About Love (NALU)

Chapter 16 Part 1

Natsu's POV
Lucy fell asleep holding all three of our babies as I hold her hand. They were beautiful I couldn't help but stare at the four of them. "How did I get so lucky?" I whisper to myself. Nashi was the only one to get my hair but the rest of her screamed Lucy. She was all but a copy of her mother. I could see that even as she was still just a baby.

Luke however looked so much like me only with Lucy's blond hair. I watched as he snuggled into his mother one hand gripping a small bit of her hair. In fact they each had a little grip of Lucy's hair. I smile at the thought, it was like they need to hold something of their mother to be sure she was always near. I couldn't help the smile on my face as I watched my family.

Luna was more of an even mix of Lucy and I. She had Lucy's blond hair my eyes and the rest of her features sort of just blended her mother and I. My grip on Lucy's hand gently squeezed her. I'm still on my knees on the floor next to the little fold out couch as I lay my head down on the bedding and close my eyes. The world around me forgotten as I fell asleep in Master's office.

Lucy's POV
I felt time move around me but it seemed to have passed by me without touching me. This was not like when I hibernated before where I could hear and feel things moving around me. I was just asleep, I could feel myself sleeping while holding my three babies in my arms. There was once that I felt someone try to pick up one of my babies but I felt my whole body cover in flames and not just mine either, I could feel Natsu's flames surround us. My grip tightened on my mates hand. It was the only part of him touching me but it was enough. No one ever tried to take my babies from us again though.

Natsu's POV
I have never felt so tired in my life it was like my very life had been drained from me. I could only feel my mate's hand in my own but it was enough I could also sense our babies in her arms as we rested. I feel a slight pain in my knees but it doesn't really bother me not with Luce here with me.

I felt someone try to pick up one of my babies and my flames acted almost on their own covering my family and I. I felt Lucy tighten her grip on my hand and slowly I drifted off into a deep slumber again our flames slowly putting themselves out.

Lucy's POV
Oh dear Mavis what happened? My head was spinning and my stomach was churning. Was I moving? I will never make fun of Natsu or the others for their motion sickness again! I could feel my skin turning green as I tried not to hurl. My arms tightened around my babies holding them close to protect them from what ever was causing this evil sensation.

I felt for Natsu's hand and realized that his arms were around me now. His body pressed tightly against my side our babies clinging to the two of us. I could feel that one was now laying on Natsu instead of me but whichever one it was still had a tight grip on a handful of my hair. Which relaxed me a bit. I passed out not being able to handle the motion.

Natsu's POV
I felt someone lift me up onto the edge of the couch. I released Lucy's hand and wrapped my arms around her, much more content now that my knees were no longer pressed into the hard floor. I felt as one of the babies crawled onto me making me sigh out content.

Suddenly I felt us moving onto a hard surface it was quick like we were on a blanket and they just slid it over onto a wooden plank or something. My stomach did a somersault before it settled. I thanked my lucky stars that it was only for a moment.

Then I felt us get lifted up, crap. my stomach churned and I held Lucy and our babies close trying to protect them from this unseen enemy. The jarring uneven movement made me want to croak but I had to be strong, for my family.

Lucy's POV
When I finally wake up the first thing I see is Natsu as his arms clutched around me and our three babies. I sigh as I look down at them; Nashi, Luke and Luna, they were beautiful. I guess I moved a little because I felt as Natsu started to stir next to me.
