A/N: Chapter 5! Please review or PM me any ideas on the baby's name or gender or whatever!

"I can take care of myself!" Lucy cried. It was in vain though, no one was listening to her. The guild was currently trying to decide who would stay with Lucy for the next 30 weeks of pregnancy. Erza seemed like an obvious choice, but they all quickly realized she would panic and overreact at the slightest wince of uncomfortableness. And Erza did tend to forget she was wearing her armor when she hugged people…

Juvia and Cana were considered, but they would would most likely slack off because of their separate obsessions over Gray and booze.

Everyone else had some sort of flaw that prevented them from looking out for the pregnant woman.

"Like I said for the hundredth time, I'm fine!" Lucy tried to convince her friends, but they wouldn't hear it. Lucy slumped on the table in defeat, Happy coming to rest next to her, Natsu had his arms crossed and was sitting at her other side. She lifted her head and furrowed her brows at the drop of blood that fell on the table. Lucy brought a hand to her nose to find her nose was bleeding. Happy stared at her with wide eyes.

"Lucy's bleeding!" He cried out, jumping up.

"What!" Everyone panicked. Lucy grimaced.

"Calm down everyone, it's just a nosebleed. Does anyone have a tissue?" Everyone scrambled to find something to stop the bleeding, but when Juvia finally procured a blue handkerchief, Lucy was already pinching her nose with a white cloth.

"Thanks Natsu!" She smiled at the mage next to her.

"Hold up." Cana interrupted the silence while everyone was staring at the totally calm dragon slayer. "You had a handkerchief, Mr. I'm going to wipe my snot on my sleeve?" Natsu shrugged.

"I had it on me. Lucy told me that she might get nosebleeds randomly, and that I shouldn't freak out about it." He smirked. "So I didn't freak out." Natsu looked pointedly at the now rather embarrassed guild.

By this time, Lucy's nose had stopped bleeding, and she put the bloody cloth in her pocket, telling Natsu she'd wash it at home.

"Seriously guys, if I needed help, I'd ask for it. Besides, Natsu already offered to help out at home if I needed it." She shrugged. "He's always there anyway…" She added.

"Natsu?" Cana asked in disbelief.

"You would choose Natsu as a caregiver over me?" Erza looked shocked.

Lucy raised an eyebrow. "Uh, yeah. Now, I'd really like to go home, I'm tired. See you all tomorrow!" Natsu jumped up and helped Lucy up from her seat. She smiled at him and said thank you.

The guild watched their backs in shock.

"I think I just want to sleep right now, Natsu." Lucy told said dragon slayer as they walked into Lucy's apartment.

"But it's barely even two." He pointed out. Lucy looked at the clock and sighed.

"Well, I want to sleep, so just wake me up in a few hours." She waved her hand and crawled into her bed, not bothering to change her clothes.

"Natsu! You left me at the guild!" Happy burst through the door as Natsu started closing it.

"Sorry buddy. But you have to be quiet, Lucy's sleeping." He pointed to Lucy's figure on the bed and closed the door.

"But it's still early." Happy asked flying around Natsu's head as he walked to the kitchen. "Is there any tuna left?" He asked as Natsu started going through the fridge. He placed a can of tuna on the table and returned to the fridge. Happy retrieved the can opener from a drawer and attempted to open it like Lucy did for him, but gave up and just used his claws.

"We know how to make spaghetti, right?" Natsu asked his blue friend.

"Aye! That's all we eat when we're home." Happy stood up on the table and jumped up and down excitedly. "And Mira showed me how to make meatballs! With fish too!" Natsu grinned and rubbed the top of Happy's head.

"I think we'll stick with the meat, ok buddy?"

"Aye!"

Lucy woke up to the smell of spice and hot sauce. Blinking a few times to get the blur out of her eyes, she rose and straightened her clothes.

"Wanna go get Lucy?" She heard Natsu ask.

"Aye sir!" Lucy saw Happy emerge from the kitchen, and his face lit up when he saw she was already awake. "Natsu! She's awake!" He flew over to her and gave her a big hug. "Lucy! Lucy! We made you dinner!"

"Really?" Lucy raised an eyebrow and smiled at Happy, who nodded. "That's really sweet, thank you!" She stood up and walked both of them to the kitchen where Natsu was stirring a pot of something that smelled amazing.

"Don't get too excited, it's just spaghetti and meatballs. It's the only thing me and Happy knew how to make."
"No, no, thank you, thank you so much. This is wonderful!" Lucy grinned, and sat at the table. Natsu placed a bowl of the pasta before her. "Thank you Natsu, really. I'm really sorry if I was a little irritable earlier..." Natsu's grin rivaled her own as he sat across from her and started to eat.

"Don't worry about it!" Lucy smiled and dug into her own dish. She hummed at the taste.

"This is really yummy Natsu! No hot sauce?" She questioned. Natsu stopped shoveling food into his mouth to answer.

"Mine does. But I figured you wouldn't want yours hot." He shrugged and continued.

"I wanted to put fish in the meatballs like Mira showed me, but Natsu said no…" Happy pouted slightly as he bit into his fish. Lucy giggled, and patted his head.

"Thank you too, Happy. These meatballs are so good, I bet that even with fish they would have tasted delicious!" She winked at Natsu as Happy turned to him.

"See Natsu, I told you she wouldn't care!"

"Well, I cared! I don't want fish in a dish called meatballs!" He started to argue with Happy. Lucy just laughed lightly at their antics and continued to eat her dinner.

A few days passed and Natsu and Lucy were at the guild, chatting with everyone.

"Lucy, what are you doing?" Happy asked.

"What do you mean?" Lucy looked at the cat, his question drawing the attention of Natsu and Gray.

"You keep slumping forwards, then jerking back up and rolling your shoulders. You look like you're about to salute."

Gray laughed and Lucy blushed. "I'm just trying to keep my posture straight." She defended.

"Yeah, ok, but you've done it at least five times in the last six minutes!" Happy protested. Lucy straightened her back and rolled her shoulders. "See, that! That right there! You did it again!" Lucy blushed harder. Gray and Natsu were laughing, at Happy or herself, she couldn't tell.

"Stop laughing!" She chastised.

"Sorry, sorry!" Gray chuckled. Natsu coughed a few times to stop. Lucy crossed her arms and humphed. She felt herself slumping again so she straightened up and rolled her shoulders.

"Lucyyyyyy~"

"Stop it Happy!"
