Mother's Day Special

A/N: Originally, I planned to do a Mother's Day special with He's a Cheater or Natsu's Growing Up but then it occurred to me, I realized I really liked Jenny and that she was far too underused in fanfics, but when she is, she's just a floozy in a harem story used for Natsu to bang. I think she's much more than that.

Shout out to this story's Beta reader, Natsu is Awesome, its his birthday today/tomorrow so be sure to drop by his account and check out his stories! It'll be worth all the clicking!

Home, Mother's Day 8:38 a.m.

"Hey, it's me again. I just wanted to see if you would pick up this time. That would've been super cooool… heh heh… But joking aside, my offer is still up, I have this great gig for the magazine featuring women of your particular… situation. Give me a call. Bye."

"Hey girl! Ya doin' alright? You haven't been picking up the phone lately and I even tried coming over to your house, but you didn't get the door, so I guess you weren't home. Anyways, me and Stacy were going to go get some drinks tonight and maybe hit on some cute guys. You should come, it's gonna be heaps of fun."

"Hi Jenny! It's Mirajane. I haven't seen you at any photoshoots lately and I haven't heard anyone mention you going on jobs as of late. I was just calling to check in and see if everything was okay. Also, I just want you to know that if you need a shoulder to cry on, I'm here for you. I'll always listen to you if you need it. I've been through some troubles in my lifetime and I don't want to see your beautiful smile fade. Anyways, call me… please?"

"Jenny? This is Dr. Hartman. I've sent the diet and nutrition plan in the mail and they should arrive at your doorstep by Friday at the latest. I've also looked over your file some more and would like to say that you have a very healthy bab-"

That was all she needed to hear. She knew exactly what her doctor was going to say, and she didn't want to hear it. To her, hearing the doctor say the word she dreaded most would shatter the illusion that she has convinced herself of.

Nothing was wrong. She was still Jenny and Jenny was completely normal. Nothing out of the ordinary was happening with Jenny.

Jenny was just gaining a few pounds and happened to get sick very easily in the mornings.

Or, at least, that was what she was not only trying to convince others of, but also herself.

Her stomach was growing bigger and bigger as the weeks went on. Just the other day she had found out that she could no longer fit into her favorite pair of skinny jeans. Now all she had to clothe herself in were two separate outfits: loose sundresses and sweats that were so godawful ugly that they would never see the light of day.

Rolling over on her bed, a bed that was far too wide and cold for her tastes, she faced the window that showed her the cold and rainy midday sky.

The gloomy setting almost made her smile. Now the weather was beginning to match her mood.

Wet streaks that were not caused by the rain began to gently roll down her flat cheeks. Up till this point, her life was fairly great. She was the top, completely undisputed, most beautiful model in Sorcerer's Weekly's lineup, or that was until Mirajane Strauss came back, though she didn't mind as her and Mirajane became great friends. There was nothing her beauty and fame couldn't get her.

Well, she could never get a decent boyfriend. Hibiki was a flash in the pan but nothing permanent could be made with him, not when he was still at the top of the most eligible bachelors list.

She did eventually find herself a decent man, though. It was a short but relaxing period in her life. The romance lasted only a week, but a great week in her opinion. However, it was that week of nonstop lust and smut that led to her current predicament.

Moving her hands down her soft and supple form, Jenny could not help but focus on her stomach that held the fruits of that man's hard labor. She did admit, what the man lacked in smarts, he more than made up for it with his enthusiasm and perseverance.

Jenny had not told the man her secret. How could she? Before that amazing week of passion and embrace, he barely recognized her name. He's probably already forgotten it and moved on.

That thought caused her heart to twist painfully in her chest. It was not a happy thought but like the saying goes, the truth hurts. The stunning blonde just wished she had the courage and strength to confront him. Whether he took responsibility or not, Jenny did not care, she just wanted him to know what she was going through.

"Mmm." Jenny moaned as she rolled over to her side and looked at her clock. It was still early; the day had only just begun for other people. Unlike other people though, Jenny had been awake since the hours just before dawn, tossing and turning in her bed like a lovesick teen.

Knock Knock Knock

Jenny's face went sour.

Someone just had to come and disrupt her sulking.

This anonymous person must have been from the guild. She took a leave of absence for a few weeks, so she could wrap her head around her current situation. The model did not tell anyone of her problem so maybe they had come to check on her? The last thing Jenny needed was someone trying to barge into her personal life and try to solve her problems.

Getting out of her comfortable bed, Jenny slipped her small feet into a pair of fluffy pink slippers to protect her delicate feet from the cold, cold floor beneath her. As she walked to the door, she looked around her messy apartment and sighed. In her depressive state, she had neglected her household duties in favor of sulking, crying, eating, and sleeping.

Knock Knock Knock

"I'm coming!" She snarled loud enough for not only the person at her door to hear, but for her neighbors to hear as well, indicating to all that she was not in a mood to be fucked with.

Putting on her best "bitch face," Jenny opened the door. "What the hell do you want?" She growled out as she opened the door just enough to show her face but hide her whole body. The blonde looked around when she noticed that no one was at the door. Had she just been pranked by some teenagers?

Sighing and letting her shoulders slump, Jenny was about to close the door until a small hand stopped her.

"Men~" The one and only Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki was casually leaning up against her door frame, striking a pose like a true man.

"Oh." Jenny relaxed. "It's just you Ichiya. Please, come in." She opened the door fully, trusting Ichiya enough to let him enter her lair of self-reclusion.

For a man as cultured as Ichiya, it took only a mere three seconds to notice that Jenny was not doing well, both physically and mentally.

"It would seem that we have much to talk about, my dear." Ichiya remarked smoothly, sliding into Jenny's house. While most women he was with tend to have tidy homes, he could tell that the mess in Jenny's house was of a rare occurrence and did not reflect who she was, but how she was feeling in that moment. "Please, let me make you some tea and you can tell me all about your troubles."

Jenny wiped her eyes and sniffed. She was not crying at that moment, she had a reputation to keep with Ichiya and her guild after all, but she could not wait to unload on Ichiya. Of the people in her guild, Ichiya was definitely someone she could trust with her secret.

"Hmm… I see…" Ichiya rubbed his chin as he processed all that Jenny had told him. He had to admit, Jenny was a strong woman. He could see in her eyes that she wanted so desperately to cry, but he knew as well as she did that the only man that needed to see her cry was the one who she valued most in the world. "And he doesn't know?"

"No, he doesn't." Jenny shook her head, holding the warm tea in her hands to warm herself with. "I… I don't think I should honestly." Jenny revealed, moving a strand of her hair behind her ear.

Ichiya leaned forward and placed his elbows on the table to support his abnormally large head. "In my experience, that is not a very good idea Jenny. But then again, it is not my place to tell you what to do."

Jenny groaned loudly. "Ugh! You're far too mature for this!" She breathed heavily through her nose in irritation. "I was expecting you to say something along the lines of: "A real man would never allow his woman to suffer like this!" Jenny imitated his voice as best as she could.

The redheaded man chuckled softly. "No, this is a choice for you, Jenny. You are in complete control of your actions." He told her.

"But can't you at least give your opinion and tell me why you don't think it's a good idea for me to tell him? I mean come on, you've met the guy, he's not exactly a genius." Jenny leaned back in her chair.

"Yet you trusted him enough to make the right decisions with you." Ichiya pointed out. "Plus, he's not too shabby when coming up with a fighting strategy. But then again, who isn't in this day and age?"

Jenny tapped her finger against her chin in contemplation. "I guess you're right. Besides, he deserves to know that he is a father now. Maybe he'll try to wise up and take responsibility?" She asked.

Ichiya nodded. "So you'll tell him?"

"Yes." Jenny nodded before her face faulted and she began to reconsider. "I mean, no. I mean yes. Wait- no. Yes." She began to go back and forth on herself, not really knowing the true answer to the question. "I don't know… I'm so confused right now, Ichiya." Jenny confessed.

The man in front of her simply nodded as he got off of the chair. "I see…" He said as he walked over to the counter which had the last issue of Sorcerer's Weekly that Jenny was featured in. "Well then, can I ask you another question?" He said as he grasped the magazine in his hand before sitting back down.

Jenny raised an eyebrow at his actions and words. "Umm, sure?" She shrugged.

Ichiya showed her the cover of the magazine which had Jenny right in the middle in a very provocative pose. "Okay, so tell me, what happened to this Jenny?" He said, pointing right at her seductive and mischievous expression.

"What?" Jenny asked, utterly baffled.

"I'm asking what did you do to this poor woman? This Jenny was a strong and confident woman who believed that she could do anything she put her mind to. I remember when this Jenny made it to the top of the reader polls and strutted around Blue Pegasus like she owned this place!" Ichiya reminisced.

Jenny looked down at her mug of tea and didn't say a word.

"As I recall, this woman even told me that she would make the legendary Mirajane Strauss a distant relic of the past before the Grand Magic Games." Ichiya continued. "But even after she lost, she got up and smiled, fulfilling her end of the bet even though her combatant told her that she did not have to do it."

"Yeah…" Jenny bit her plump bottom lip and looked away at the floor.

Ichiya did not stop. "I also seem to remember a point in which she valiantly tried to fight a dragon. She knew that her opponent was far beyond her reach, but she did not give in and kept up the good fight. I was never prouder of her than I was that day."

Jenny began to blush, remembering how she was crushed by such an awesome foe. "I did lose though…" She put her mug down and crossed her arms.

"Yes, only because you were not a Dragon Slayer! Even the Dragon Slayers themselves did not defeat the mighty mythical beasts! No one did!" Ichiya proclaimed

"They didn't, did they?" Jenny began to smirk lightly at that.

"But you know what?" Ichiya put down the magazine. "You were still the most beautiful woman there, you know that? The sweat and dirt only exemplified your beauty."

Now Jenny's face resembled a tomato. "I-Ichiya, you're over exaggerating." The blonde model.

"I am not! You still are the most beautiful woman in Fiore! Princess Hisui is envious I am sure. Men want you and women want to be you!" He gushed about her natural beauty as if she was a painting in a museum and he was the docent. "But you know what, I can already see the glow of motherhood embrace you and give you Mother Nature's blessing. You are most definitely a beautiful woman and your parfum is irresistible, but now you are an absolutely stunning mother! You should have the confidence to tell a man what he is missing out on and why he should be apart of you and the baby's life!"

Jenny was now sitting on the edge of her seat with her head held high. Ichiya's pep talk seemed to be working its magic on her. "You're right Ichiya! I am a beautiful mother! He would be absolutely thrilled to have me as the mother of his children!"

"That's the stuff darling!" Ichiya crossed his arms and his eyes sparkled. "You embraced him once on your own accord, now it's time to reel him back in and have him crawling miles just to worship at your altar!"

Jenny stood up, now fully displaying her baby bump and rose a fist into the air. "Ichiya, to the guild! We will have him come to us! There I will tell him and give him the choice of a lifetime!"

"Go change sweetheart!" Ichiya flexed and stood up on the table. "Operation: Man Trap is a go!" He yelled confidently until he saw the look on her face. "What?" He asked in his confusion.

"Maybe pick a better name?" Jenny sweat dropped.

Ichiya nodded. "Fine then. Operation: Baby Daddy is a go!" Ichiya cheered to which Jenny nearly fell to the floor with a blush.

Leave it to Ichiya to come up with some bizarre ideas.

"Just meet me at the guild in an hour…" Jenny told him with a bland monotone. "I'm gonna take a shower and get dressed before I go."

"Men~" Ichiya pointed both of his finger guns at her.

Blue Pegasus, Tuesday 10:53 a.m.

The doors of the guild swung open and loudly clashed against the walls as the wooden objects shook from the vibrations of the impact. Long was the rain gone and the sun shone brightly through the open doors, signaling that it was the birth of a new day.

Any of the patrons or guild members who hadn't immediately looked to the doors after they swung open were drawn in by the loud clatter of high heels marching across the room.

"Oh!" A waitress gasped in surprise as Jenny, the former top model for Sorcerer's Weekly, strutted through the guild like she owned the place.

A middle-aged man could not stop his jaw from hitting the ground and his drink falling out of his hand as the beautiful Take Over mage passed by him, not even glancing at him as she made her way to the bar on the other side of the room.

Another woman's eyes were quickly drawn to Jenny's stomach which stretched the confines of her yellow sundress by just the slightest bit to where it was noticeable.

Jenny no longer saw the growing life within her as a hindrance but rather a sign that she, a woman who has lost all she has set herself up to be, can do something right. She may have lost her popularity to Mirajane Strauss, she may have lost her belief in her own power against a dragon, but she would not loose herself in a matter that she has complete control over!

"Hibiki!" Jenny called out with a confident smirk on her face.

The blonde man stood at attention. "Yes ma'am!" He saluted to her, briefly looking down at her budding motherhood before returning his gaze to meet her own.

"Get Fairy Tail on the phone! I have a plan!" She instructed before noticing that his gaze kept falling and she could tell that he was giving her body more attention than her eyes. "If you have something to say soldier, speak up!" The model barked.

Hibiki noticeably flinched at her cold and commanding tone and straightened up even more. "Uhh… your breasts look bigger, ma'am!" The most eligible bachelor said with unrestrained bewilderment. "Did you get a boob-lift, ma'am?"

Jenny put her hands on her hips and looked down her nose at him. "I would've thought a man as smart as you could tell the beautiful glow of motherhood, Hibiki."

Ren and Eve quickly flocked to Hibiki's side. "He's- He's sorry Jenny!" Ren bowed for his friend's transgression.

Eve also bowed. "You look very beautiful, Jenny! Motherhood just makes you even prettier!" The short young man told her.

Jenny crossed her arms under her heavy bosom. "Thank you gentlemen, I plan to use this as an opportunity to surpass Mira once again. The public are suckers for romance and babies." She told them.

Ichiya slid next to his fellow team members. "And with your parfum even more alluring then ever, it will be done with such ease!" The redhead cupped his chin, imagining Jenny retaking her former place at the top.

"Ichiya." Jenny smiled at the man who helped pull her from her slum. "I'm glad you're here, I have a very important job for you."

Ichiya crossed his arms into his signature pose. "How can I be of service?" He asked.

Jenny put her right hand on his shoulder and smiled brilliantly. "I want you to make the call to Fairy Tail and have them send Natsu over right away. Don't tell anyone other than their master why and don't even have Master Makarov tell him. I want to be the one to tell him." Jenny ordered.

The small man gulped at having just been given such an incredibly important task. "Aye aye." He saluted.

"Now as for you two…" Jenny looked at Eve and Ren. "One of you go get Master Bob and as for the other, they can go get me and the baby something to eat, preferably something with a lot of meat." Jenny smiled and licked her lips, causing the two men to blush.

Jenny then took a step back and saw that the men were still there. "Well? What are you waiting for? Chop chop fellas!" Jenny karate chopped her free hand to further emphasize her point.

Hibiki looked at Ichiya. "I'll go get Fairy Tail on the line, go ahead and prepare what you're going to tell them."

"Men~" Ichiya nodded.

With Hibiki running off to the phone and Ren and Eve to do their respective tasks, Jenny was left alone with Ichiya.

Squatting down in a ladylike manner so that she was eyelevel with Ichiya, Jenny smiled and put her hand on his chin. "Thank you, Ichiya. Without you, I would not have the confidence to be doing this right now." She whispered before lightly kissing his forehead in a display of gratitude.

Ichiya blushed but stood tall, well, as tall as he could for a short guy. "T-Thank you, Jenny. I'm just glad I could help you come back home."

Jenny smirked and ruffled his hair. "You're a great friend, you know that?" She hummed.

"I aim to be." Ichiya smiled back, doing his signature pose. "Men~"

Jenny giggled at her friend before noticing that their master was approaching with Ren in tow.

"Jenny, darling! You've finally come back home!" The flamboyant Master of Blue Pegasus greeted her, flying over to properly greet her with a hug. "I was starting to get worried! But boy oh boy was I glad that Ichiya told me he was going over to your house to check on you." The bald man said.

Jenny moved a strand of her hair back behind her ear. "Yeah, Ichiya pulled me out of my funk today. But because of him, I am able to stand tall and proudly say…" She took in a deep breath and puffed out her chest. "I, Jenny Realight, am pregnant with Natsu Dragneel's baby!" Jenny shouted confidently, surprising a good number of people in the guild.

If Master Bob was surprised, he didn't show it and instead took both of her hands in his. "Congratulations Jenny! I knew something was up when I saw you wobbling around with this belly of yours, but I did not want to assume anything, so I stayed quiet."

Jenny bowed in appreciation. "Thank you for that Master Bob, I appreciate that you didn't ask when I wasn't ready to talk about it."

Master Bob smiled at her in his own weird, but oddly affectionate, smile.

On the other side of the guild, Ichiya had just been handed the phone from Hibiki and was in the process of clearing his throat, readying his speech.

"Ahem, hello?" Ichiya asked with a stern voice.

"What? What do you want?" Came the lazy and bored voice of Makarov Dreyar.

Ichiya coughed into his hand. "Uhh, hello? This is Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki of Blue Pegasus! I am requesting the presence of one Natsu Dragneel!" Ichiya proclaimed into the plastic telephone.

There was a long pause after Ichiya spoke, but he could pick up the faint sound of whispering going on, on the other side. After a few minutes of Ichiya waiting for him to respond, he decided to break the silence.

"Are you on speaker phone?" Ichiya asked.

"No!" Makarov denied.

"Yes!" A few dozen other voices yelled into the phone, causing Ichiya to roll his eyes.

Ichiya slapped his palm to his face. "Look, we would really appreciate it if you just sent Natsu over, okay?" He asked desperately.

More whispers came from the other side but a voice did answer, a new voice.

"Why though?" Lucy Heartfilia asked.

Ichiya put his hand down on the table. "I cannot tell you, it's a secret!" Ichiya stated.

"Are you sure it's a secret?" Makarov asked.

"I can't tell you! That's what a secret is! Something I can't tell!" The short man expounded. "Just send him over!"

More mummers came from the other side of the phone.

Ichiya was now tapping his foot impatiently. Why couldn't they just send him over, so Jenny could talk to him!

They sent another ambassador first, one that he could smell her irresistible parfum all the way through the phone!

"Ugh… Ichiya…" Came the downtrodden voice of Erza Scarlet. "I would really appreciate it… *coughs* *gags* I would appreciate it if you would tell us. I would even go as far as too *shivers*… go on a date with you."

The bright sun shone down upon Ichiya.

This was his chance.

Looking over to Jenny, the blonde model smiled brilliantly at him and gave him a thumbs up.

No!

He was not going to do that!

He had a responsibility and duty to deliver this boy to Jenny.

"No!" Ichiya yelled into the phone. "I will not be tricked by some woman! I have a much more beautiful woman that I must take care of! I do not have time to mess around with some scanty knight! Send Natsu at once!"

More mummers came from the other side until Erza spoke up again.

"Wait! Did Ichiya seriously just turn me down?!" She yelled out in surprise.

"Dammit! She was our last hope!" Makarov griped. "Alright, fine! You win! We'll send him on his way at once so expect him to arrive just before sundown."

Ichiya pumped his fist up in the air in victory. "Alright, thank you so much!" The redhead thanked them and prepared to hang up until someone called out to him.

"Wait! Ichiya, hold up!" Laxus, Makarov's grandson, called out.

"Yes?" Ichiya asked.

"Is your refrigerator running?" Laxus asked which was immediately followed by bouts of laughter from the rest of the guild, even though he had not even finished the joke.

Ichiya just rolled his eyes. "I'm hanging up now." He told them.

"Wait! I have one more!" Laxus yelled again which caused some more chuckles to erupt from the crowd.

"Ugh…" Ichiya dragged his hand down his face. "Fine, what?"

Laxus himself began to laugh. "Do- Do you like scary movies?" He asked before falling into a fit of laughter.

"Bye." Ichiya said with a straight face as he hung up.

Ichiya then turned to Jenny and gave her his own thumbs up. "He's on the way."

Blue Pegasus, Mother's Day 7:07 p.m.

To say Jenny was worried would be a huge understatement. Nine hours later and her baby's father still has yet to show up!

Ichiya, who was seated next to her at the bar, laid a comforting hand on her shoulder to try and alleviate her nerves. "I am sure he is on his way, Jenny. You know how Dragon Slayers are when they come into contact with transportation."

Jenny nodded, agreeing with Ichiya that Natsu may have elected to walk all the way to their guild instead of simply taking a train.

"I hope he's okay." The blonde mumbled.

"He's Natsu Dragneel, Jenny, he'll make the best of any situation." Ichiya grinned.

Lamia Scale, Mother's Day 7:08 p.m.

"BLUE PEGASUS?!" Natsu asked as he pushed open the doors to a new guild. This was his fourth time bursting into a guild, so this just had to be the one he was called to!

Lyon Vastia looked up from his book. "Wrong guild." He said, watching the pink-haired Dragon Slayer's shoulders slump in defeat and walk out. "Imbecile."

Jenny's House, Mother's Day 10:20 p.m.

The day had not gone as Jenny had planned. She had spent most of it in the guild, waiting for Natsu to arrive so she could tell him what she wanted. Was it too much to ask for life to just go her way for one day?

Here she was, sitting on her bed, not able to go to sleep since she was too distraught over some guy. Jenny just tried to tell herself that she was hungry, but when she went to eat something in her kitchen, she could not bring herself to eat. The anxiety was eating her alive.

Suddenly, there came the sound of a window breaking as a brick rolled onto her bedroom floor. Startled and frightened, Jenny jumped up onto her bed and feared the worst until a familiar head of salmon colored hair popped into view.

"Pss! You awake?" Natsu whispered as he crawled in through the shattered the window.

If Jenny wasn't so relieved to finally see him after so long, she would've scolded him for not only startling her and causing her (and his) unborn baby unneeded stress, but also because he broke her window. Well, now that she thought about it, there was a lot to get mad at him over, but that could wait for another time when she didn't need to be serious with him.

"Natsu!" Jenny nearly leaped at him. She was overcome with such joy that he was finally here that she could forget all about how he made her wait.

Natsu for one was eager to return her hug and wrapped his arms around the woman. He secretly noted how much plumper Jenny had gotten but years of torture from Erza and Mirajane finally caught up to him and made him not say a word about it. To be fair, this woman was now much more snuggly than before. In Fiore's teen culture's words, Jenny went from thicc to thiccc with more body fats in all the right places.

"Hey Jenny! I missed you!" Natsu wrapped his arms around her and squeezed her. "How've ya been?" He asked.

Jenny did not respond. Instead, she chose to just take in his presence and let his aroma and musk soothe her aching heart. This was just what she needed. She needed him to be here to give her the strength to see this situation through.

"Natsu…" She breathed heavily, laying her head down on his soft vest. "I missed you." The blonde whispered, almost to the point where it was inaudible.

Natsu looked at her with a bewildered expression. This was coming from the same woman who rode him for a week straight then practically told him to get lost? This was weird.

"I… I missed you too?" Natsu said in an unsure tone.

Jenny, sensing how uncomfortable Natsu was growing, took a step back. "Natsu, I called for you today to tell you something, but first, there is one thing I want to know." The blonde spoke softly.

Natsu's head tilted back and he looked down at her with a questioning gaze. "What?" He asked, plain and simple.

A soft blush began to cloud Jenny's cheeks. "D-Do you remember what I told you when we first made love?" She questioned.

"I think you said: 'Spit in my mouth'!" Natsu said, quickly remembering it since it was perhaps the most bizarre request he has ever heard in his entire life.

Jenny's blush instantly intensified and she looked away, hiding her face away from him. "N-No! Not that! I'm talking about when I told you I wasn't looking for a commitment since I just got out of a relationship."

Natsu held his chin in his hand, contemplating what she was saying. To him, it did certainly seem familiar. "Now that sounds kinda familiar… was that before or after you started to squirt the body lotion on your-"

Jenny quickly put her hand over his mouth to stop him from saying another word. "Yeah, yeah, now shut up." The model told him. "But seriously, I wanna talk about that again. I kinda got myself into a big commitment and it could or could not involve you."

"I have a choice?" Natsu asked dumbly.

The woman nodded. "Yes, I am giving you a choice, but before I can be sure, I have to ask another question."

'What is this? A game show?' Natsu thought, almost rolling his eyes. "What now?" He asked bluntly.

Jenny put her finger to her lips. "Where do your priorities lie?" She asked.

"Priorities?" Natsu asked. "What does that mean?"

Jenny remembered that she did have to explain what a commitment was when she told him that she did not want one, so she should have known better. "It's like your goals or dreams. Do you have a dream?" She expounded on her question.

Natsu thought for a moment. Did he have a dream? Well, his main dream was to simply surpass everyone, but that was becoming increasingly hard to do as time went on. Everyone was focused on doing their own thing. But did he have a thing?

"I don't think so…" He scratched the top of his head. "Gajeel is aiming to become a Wizard Saint, Gray's bored of just fighting so he's focusing on master his Ice Devil Slayer magic, Laxus is training to become the next guild master, and Lucy is pretty much glued to her desk."

"I thought you said you wanted to become a S-Class wizard?" Jenny asked him.

Natsu nodded. "Yeah, but then I realized how easy it was. I wanna be different right now and everyone is already aiming for the next rank in the guild besides Mira, Erza, and Laxus. Hell, I'd try to have Gildarts train me, but he's never around cause he's either bothering Cana or on a job."

Jenny could relate to that. Before she got pregnant, she was constantly trying to come up with a way to surpass Mira in terms of modeling popularity, but now she had her answer.

Then a proverbial lightbulb flashed into existence above her head. She had an idea!

"Well, have you ever thought of…" The beautiful mother slinked her way around him and wrapped her arms around his torso. "Starting a family?" She asked.

Natsu rose an eyebrow. "A family? Like, me as a dad?" He questioned.

"Yup. You as a dad with one or two little Natsu's running around. Maybe a beautiful wife?" She suggested.

He nodded. "Yeah, I have thought of that. But every time I imagine myself with a girl, it doesn't feel right."

Jenny slid back around and still held her arms around his neck. "Maybe it's because you're not thinking of the right girl." The blonde Take Over mage said. "Which girls do you dream about?"

"Lucy, Lisanna, and even that weird chick with the red hair from Raven Tail but that was just in a crazy fever dream I had." Natsu said, nonchalantly admitting that he couldn't envision a future with either one of those gals.

The model in front of him cupped his chin. "Really? Well, have you ever thought about a future with me?" Jenny asked.

Surprisingly, Natsu nodded. "Yeah, but that was before I remembered that you didn't want to be boyfriend and girlfriend. I was kinda crushing on you for a few weeks after the time we spent together but my heart ached when I kept telling myself we aren't serious."

Jenny smiled sadly, realizing that she might have very well taken advantage of the poor guy and just used him as a tool for entertainment and sex after her breakup.

"Well Natsu, I hope you want to change that, because I do." Jenny told him.

Natsu gave her a skeptical look. "Really? Why now?" He asked.

Jenny blushed and broke their eye contact. "Well, because things are different now…" She bit her lip, wondering how to break it to him that she was carrying his child.

"How so?" Natsu cocked his head to the side, questioning her vague reasons.

"Because…" She took in a long breath. "Because whether you wanted a family with me or not, I might be the one to give you a family." Jenny explained.

Natsu scratched the back of his head in confusion. "W-What does that mean?" He asked, not quite solving the puzzle yet.

Jenny sighed, she should have known it would not be this simple. "Natsu, I'm pregnant. I'm gonna have your baby." Jenny finally revealed, taking a load off of her shoulders and for the first time in a couple of weeks, she felt as though she could properly breathe again.

Natsu's began to light up in realization. "Wait…" He began, the cogs in his head beginning to turn. "So that means…" He began to stumble around on his feet, losing his balance. "Wait…"

Jenny, knowing that this was a lot to take in, helped him sit down on her bed. "Natsu." She rested a hand on his lap. "Calm down, it's gonna be alright." She assured him.

The young pink-haired man was having trouble finding his words. Here he was, dicking around in the guild most of the day, trying to come up with a way to separate himself from the herd after he accomplishes his lifelong goal of becoming an S-Class mage, and now his one-week stand was telling him that she was going to have his baby.

All this information piled together and shoved into his ears simply left one emotion inside the young man: profound joy.

"T-That's it!" Natsu jumps up on the bed, jumping up and down on the mattress. "That's it! This is the answer!" The Dragon Slayer proclaimed.

Jenny was perplexed by his behavior but stood up nonetheless on the floor and cheered him on. "I don't know why you are jumping on my bed but I'm glad you're glad!" The blonde smiled brilliantly.

"I'm a dad! This is awesome!" He exclaimed. "I'm gonna be the best dad ever! I'm gonna teach him how to fight, how to fish, how to make fun of Gray and Gajeel, and then I'll show Gildarts that I'm a better dad than him." He began to list off the different ways he'll bond with his offspring.

The mom to be nodded. "And I'll separate myself from other models with my matronly aura and loving disposition!" Jenny joined in with the man in thinking of ways of using this situation to their advantage. "And I'm gonna make her the cutest princess in Fiore!"

At that statement, Natsu looked down at her and stopped jumping. "Umm, Jenny? I think you made a mistake. We're gonna have a boy who will be the fiercest warrior in Fiore." He corrected her.

While most women would earnestly accept the challenge of whether or not they would have a boy or girl, Jenny welcomed it as a different opportunity for something a bit more pleasant than an argument.

Jenny walked over to the side of the bed and reached up to take his hand in hers before delivering it to the space on her chest above her swollen breasts (that would only get stupidly huge as the pregnancy continued) and let him feel her heartbeat that was beginning to finally calm down after all the stress it went through recently.

"How about we see what we get and try to aim for another one to get both?" Jenny offered with a smile. Originally, she was worried about having a family with Natsu, but now she wouldn't want a family with any other man.

This was the hand life had dealt her, so she was going to play the game to the best of her abilities.

"Alright." Natsu gave her a toothy grin. "I'm game."

Their relationship, which started out very shallow, grew like a rose. From just simple superficial pairing blossomed a deeply intimate couple that became the model for relationships throughout Fiore.

Jenny later revealed her pregnancy to the populace, silencing all rumors about her possible retirement. Initially, her choice to continue modeling was met with some skepticism, but Jenny used her status as #2 model in Fiore to boost interest in expecting women. However, as the due date neared, she took time off to start her own fashion line for pregnant women. These factors, in tandem with the shock that the father was the unexpected Natsu Dragneel of Fairy Tail, Jenny soon reclaimed her spot at the top of the popularity lists and secured her spot as Fiore's #1 gal and mother.

Natsu… was Natsu. He achieved his life long goal of becoming an S-Class mage with ease a month before Jenny had the baby. Unfortunately for him, he was just fortunate enough to get the trail that did not have any opposition for him to face. However, once he got what he wanted, he began to spend the majority of his time at Blue Pegasus, catering to the whims of his lover, making sure she had every need filled. Every need. Jenny, and with some help from the Trimen, managed to whip Natsu into fathering shape with a few good lessons on how to be a dad. Fairy Tail was surprised to hear that their knucklehead was the father to Ms. Fiore's baby but the shock was soon overridden by pity and pride in a weird mixture of the two emotions. But, his guild would support him every step of the way.

The Beach, A Few Months in the Future

"Come here Jean! Come here!" Natsu shook a stuffed dragon doll at his daughter, encouraging here to try and walk over to him.

Despite how much her father encouraged her, Jean could not control herself and move her little stubby legs over to him. Instead, she opted to try and crawl her way over there, which was not hard to do on sand.

"No, no. You gotta walk sweetie." Jenny giggled as she looked at her family. Watching her daughter struggle to walk and her lover encourage their pride and joy was a great source of pleasure for her. Never had Jenny thought that she would enjoy a slow life like this. Yet here she was, with her lover on a white sandy beach, playing with their daughter while another one was on its way.

"Come on Jean, walk! You can do it!" Natsu tried to get his daughter to stand back up. "You can't grow up to beat Gray and Gajeel if you can't walk."

Jenny moved her large sunglasses down to sit at her nose and looked at Natsu. "You are not making our child fight those two dorks." The blonde mother scolded the father of her baby.

Natsu just smiled back at her with a sharp grin. "Come on Jenny! We talked about this! Jean's gonna grow up and be the number one model AND the strongest mage in Fiore! She can multitask." He said.

Shaking her head, Jenny looked to the left. "You gettin' any good shots?" She asked the cameraman.

"Yep! The sun is at that right spot where we get the best shots! It's the magic hour!" The young man gave her a thumbs up. "Everything is going just like you said Miss Jenny!"

Jenny nodded. "Good. I didn't pay you guys to just sit around and watch us have fun, I want this documented and put in this month's issue."

"Yes ma'am!" The assistant cameraman nodded.

Natsu chuckled nervously as he once again realized just how many people were crowded around him and his family, it almost nearing the double digits! Jenny became a slave driver very quickly after she opened her own magazine titled: Maternity. It was a magazine for mothers and women that were trying to become mothers.

"Jenny, not that I don't like the attention, but why are we putting Jean through this?" He asked.

"I don't fully agree with it either Natsu, but with the way things are right now, we need to boost the sales for this month, so we don't have to scrounge for cash when Jack arrives in a few months." Jenny explained, rubbing her belly that was once again displaying signs of motherhood.

"Oh yeah…" Natsu sighed. "I forgot I did that… again…" He chuckled nervously.

Maybe someone at Fairy Tail should have explained the concept of protection to Natsu.
