"Lucy? What's wrong?"

Don't be surprised when I say this Natsu…..but I'm pregnant."

"What?"

"If it helps it's yours."

"….I don't know Luce. Do you really want to have a baby?"

"Well I just know I couldn't give it up."

"Then don't worry! I'll be there the whole time!"

"Natsu! We're having a girl!"

"Really!"

"Yep. I can't wait to see her."

"What do you want to name her?"

"Can we name her after my mother? Also I was thinking maybe give her the name of that Edolas Lucy. You know, Ashley?"

"Of course."

"I'm sorry . But with the baby resting upside down your gonna have to do as little movement as possible in order to avoid a bigger issue."

"Don't worry Luce. I'll take good care of both you and our baby."

"Thank you Natsu."

"It hurts!"

"Don't worry. I'm right here. Just hold on."

"AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!"

"Waaaaaanh! Waaaaanh!"

"You did it Luce. She's beautiful."

"Layla Ashley Dragoneel. You sure gave birth to one beautiful girl Lucy."

"Thanks. But you helped too."

"You're right. She probably got it from me."

"Nice try. But she's blonde."

"I can never win with you. Can I?"

"Afraid not love."

"You're tired. Let me take her."

"Ok. Thanks."

"Luce! Lucy! Where are you?"

"Sir you need to calm down."

"Don't tell me to calm down! My Lucy's might still be in there! Someone has to find here!"

"Sir. You have your baby is safe. I suggest you take your child and get out safely while we put out the fire."

"Natsu come on. We need to get out of here."

"Shut the hell up stripper!"

"Natsu! Gray grab his arm!"

"Got it Erza."

"No! Let me go! I have to find Luce! Someone help me! Help my Luce!

Now

"Has Natsu calmed down yet Lisanna?" Erza asked.

Lisanna shook her head. "He's still crying. He won't let anyone touch the baby. He's just sitting in the corner. I promised him I'd tell everyone to give him space."

"I'll make sure everyone knows." Erza said before leaving.

Lisanna looked at Natsu as he held his child and cried.

"You're one hell of a child." He muttered. "But you're also very special. You're the daughter of a dragon slayer, and the best celestial mage this world has ever seen. At first we named you Layla Ashley Dragoneel. But you're getting a new name. Layla Ashley Lucy Dragoneel." Natsu sobbed more as he said his loves name. "And you will be the best mage in the world."

"Natsu." Wendy said quietly as she walked up. "Lisanna asked me to bring you this." She handed the pink haired boy a baby bottle filled with warn milk."

"Thank you Wendy." Natsu said as he took the bottle and held it for the baby to drink. The little one gladly accepted it and began to drink.

"Please come back to the group Natsu." Wendy pleaded. "Everyone's worried. No one want to see you like this all alone. You can cry, but please do it with us."

"I don't know. I'm not quite sure I'm ready to be around people yet."

"Hurry up and get over here Pinky!" Gray called from all the way across the guild. Natsu jolted his head up. Looking around at all the friends looking at his with semi-sad semi-happy looks. "You haven't introduced us to that new member yu brought!"

Natsu realized what he was saying and whipped his eyes. He got up and walked over to join everyone. "Guys, this is Layla Ashley Lucy Dragoneel. And she is the newest and soon to be best mage in Fairy Tail history." Everyone looked at the sad dragon slayer.

"Well of course she is!" Levy yelled out of the silence. "And we're all gonna make sure she gets there."

"Sounds good to me!"

"What kind of mage do you think she'll be?"

"If I know Natsu no matter what she'll be a kick butt one."

Natsu listened to all of the comments, and looked around at all of his friends. Then he fell, kneeling to the floor. Holding tightly onto Layla. Crying. Everything grew silent. "Thank you." He managed to mutter out. "Thank you."
