Chapter 16 - Epilog
Lucy POV
I sat at my desk, writing on my novel in my new home. A big two story house me and Cobra had picked out the month before. I had finally gotten around to finding a new place and I loved it.
Cobra had come by two, three times every month ever since we started dating. I looked at the calendar that hung beside my desk. Today was our half year anniversary. And I hoped Cobra would remember and at least contact me. But it was already after 5 in the evening and he hadn't called yet.
*Ding Dong* I heard the door bell ring. I sighed and stood up and went down to answer it. As I opened I got a eyeful of a huge bouquet of red, blue and purple roses. I looked up at the person holding them and grinned.
"Cobra." I smiled, he smiled back at me and swooped me up in a hug and kissed me. I grinned and kissed him back, my arms around his neck.
"Happy anniversary, sweety." He said as he put me down and handed me the roses.
"Happy anniversary, darling." I smiled back and took the roses and his hand and started walking in to the living room to get a vase for my new flowers.
"So, I have booked a table at our favorite French restaurant for 6 o'clock. So if you want to get ready I can fix the flowers." He said and I squealed and hugged him.
"You are the best." I said and gave him the flowers as I kissed him before racing up to the bedroom to get a dress before hurrying in to the bathroom to clean up.
Forty five minutes later found us sitting at the restaurant looking over the menus.
We didn't get much sleep that night as I decided to repay him for the costly meal.
We fell asleep in each others arms, tired but very satisfied.
~ 1 ½ month later ~ Nobodys POV
"MIRA!" Lucy shouted as she raced in to the guild, looking around frantically for her partner, seeing her sitting at the bar she raced up to her.
"Lucy? What's wrong?" She asked worried.
"Come with me for a second." Lucy said and dragged Mira up to her office. She closed the door and activated the sound blocking spell she had put on it.
"Lucy? You are starting to worry me." Mira said
"Look at this." Lucy said and gave her a small stick. Mira took it and looked at it, at first she couldn't understand what the two lines on it meant. Then her eyes widened and she looked up at Lucy who looked but horrified and excited.
"Is this what I think it is?" Mira asked, Lucy nodded. "Are you?" Mira asked, not really ready to believe it. Lucy nodded again.
"Yea, I suspected something was up during our last mission. Something felt off. Then I remembered that I have had my period the last two times. So, I bought that and checked." Lucy said
"That's amazing. You are going to be a mother." Mira grinned
"Yea. I just don't know what Cobra will say." Lucy said, worry evident in her voice.
"Do you know where he is?" Mira asked, Lucy nodded.
"You know that forest where comm. lacrima don't work?" Lucy said, Mira nodded. "They are there." She explained. Mira thought about it, then nodded.
"We will get Natsu and Gray to get him. And ask Lily if he is willing to carry Gray." Mira said, Lucy hesitated, then nodded. "Good. I will get them." Mira said and left the office. Lucy tried to clam herself down while she waited for her partner to come back with her former teammates and the two exceeds. It didn't take them long.
Natsu POV
We all saw Lucy race in to the guild, looking excited and horrified at the same time and we all wondered what could have happened. I watched as she dragged Mira up to her office with worry.
"What could have happened?" I muttered
"I don't know. But it must be pretty serious." Gray said beside me, I nodded.
I was still watching the stairs with the rest of the guild when Mira came out on the stairs.
"Natsu, Gray, Happy, Lily! Can you come up here for a minute?" She shouted, I frowned and looked at Gray. What could have happened?
We hurried up to her.
"Mira. What happened to Luce?" I asked, she shook her head.
"Not our here." She said and we followed her in to Luce's office.
"Luce?" I asked, she looked over at us and smiled and motioned for us to sit.
"We have something good to tell you guys, and a request." Lucy said, we nodded and sat down. Lucy sat down on her desk.
"What happened? You ran in to the guild like you had fire burning under your tail." Happy said
"I have no idea of how to say this so I'm just gonna say it bluntly." Lucy said and took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant." She said, I blinked, then blinked again. Then her words sank in and my jaw dropped.
"What? When? How?" I stammered, then turned red. "Wait, ignore the last two." I said, shaking my head. I saw the others staring at her as well.
"I was planing on it. I don't think any of you really want to know that." Luce said, a glint in her eyes.
"No thank you." Gray said
"You said you had a request for us." Lily said, Lucy nodded.
"Cobra doesn't know yet. And he is in a special forest where comm. lacrima don't work. So we want you four to fly there. That forest is dangerous. And the bigger a group is the bigger the chance of them being attacked, but an along mage wouldn't stand a chance." Mira said, I nodded, I knew which forest she was talking about. It wasn't a good place to get lost in or be alone in.
"Otherwise you could have sent only me and Happy." I said, Luce nodded.
"Yea, but you need at least one more. And no offense to Erza, but she isn't good enough at tracking." Mira said
"But, Gray, Lily, you two are." Luce said, they nodded.
"We will go." I said
"Yea. We need to tell the soon to be father about this." Gray said with a grin. Luce blushed.
"I'm happy to be able to help. We will bring him here as fast as we can." Lily said and we stood up.
"Thanks you guys." Luce said with her thousand watt smile.
"No problem." I said and ruffled her hair. After that we left the office, a lot of people shouted after us, wanting to know what was going on.
Nobodys POV
Mira and Lucy walked down to the bar after Lucy had calmed down a little bit more and Mira told them about the good news and explained to Gajeel why they needed Lily to go. He just nodded and said that he understood. Which he did. Natsu and Gray worked great together when they had to, and Lily was a great fighter as well as being able to fly.
Cobra POV
We had nearly finished up our mission when I heard Natsu and three other voices in the distance, all sounding as if they were looking for me.
"Hey, we will soon have company. Natsu, Gray and two cats are on their way." I said
"I wonder what they want." Jellal said
"I hope nothing have happened to Lucy or any of the others." Angel said, worry in her voice. Sweat started to trickle down my spine in fear. Just then the four of them landed in front of us.
"Cobra, you need to go to Lucy. Like, right now." Natsu said
"What happened? Is she okay?" I asked, fear in my voice.
"Yea, she is fine. But, she will really need you from now on." Gray said, I looked between them.
"She is pregnant." Natsu said seriously, my eyes widened in shock and I could hear several of my guild mates choke on air.
"Oh. My. God." I whispered. Natsu nodded.
"Yea. Pretty much our reaction as well. From what I understand, she don't know how you will feel about this. She is worried that you will leave her." Natsu said, I stared at her.
"I would never leave her. She is the best thing that ever happened to me." I said, Natsu grinned.
"Good. Then why don't you hurry to her. She needs you." He said, I nodded and looked around at the others.
"Go. We will take care of the rest of this." Jellal said, I nodded and jumped up on Cubellios back.
"Thanks." I said
"We will help out here so it will go faster then we will come after." Gray said, I nodded and me and Cubellios left.
"Come on. We need to get to Lucy. And fast." I said to her, she hissed and sped up. Flying at her fastest speed, which would get us to Magnolia within a few hours.
Nobodys POV
Cobra arrived at the guild a couple of hours before sunset and ran inside and found Lucy sitting with her friends. She looked up at him and he smiled at her. Her face split in two with a huge smile and she raced over to him and threw her arms around his neck. He easily caught her and hugged her close.
"I can't believe I'm going to be a father." He whispered in her ear. She grinned.
"I can't believe I'm going to be a mother." She said, her voice just as low.
"Come on. We need to talk. Lets go home." He said, she nodded and they said their good byes to the guild and walked quickly home.
That night they stayed up late, talking about the baby that would come in a few months. Cobra sighed and said.
"I need to talk to my guild mates about something." He said, Lucy tilted her head to the side in question.
"I'm planing on leaving Crime Sorcière and ask Makarov if I can join Fairy Tail. I can't continue to come and go like I have if we are going to start a family." He said, Lucy beamed at him.
"I would love to have you in the guild. Maybe the others will do so as well." She said, Cobra nodded.
"We have talked about it before." He admitted. "But Angel is planing on joining Sabertooth to be with her sister." He said, Lucy nodded.
"I'm not surprised over that." She said
~ 12 months later ~
Lucy and Cobra sat in the guild, surrounded by their friends. Their 4½ month old son, Jack Heartfilia, sleeping in the arms of a, for once, calm Natsu. He was stroking the little head carefully with a soft smile on his face. Suddenly Jack opened his mouth and burped, a purple cloud of poison coming out at the same time, Natsu barley able to dodge. Then he laughed.
"That is my godson." He said, pride lacing every word. Lucy laughed.
"That has happened a few times now. I'm just glad that I'm immune to it." She said, obvious pride in her voice as well. Natsu grinned at her.
"Didn't expect anything less of the woman who is now the strongest female mage in Fairy Tail according to Sorcerer Magazine." He said, pointing to the paper on the table that featured Lucy during the GMG just 2 weeks earlier where she had beaten both Erza and Orga during one of the three way matches. Erza being part of Fairy Tail A and Lucy being part of Fairy Tail B.
Lucy grinned at him and rested her head against the father of her son, her mate and fiance.
"It's mostly thanks to me being mated to Cobra. The mating bond makes me immune to any poison that is weaker then his." She laughed, Natsu grinned and nodded.
The Fairy Tail story had a new chapter with the birth of Jack. The following years saw several more children being born from likely and unlikely pairs.
