Natsu's POV:
__________________________

Okay, it's official, I hate my life!!! What did I do to deserve this pain!!! Oh god! It hurts! You're probably wondering why I'm in pain so much, right? It's the baby!!!

It's already been five months since I've confessed to Gray about being pregnant and it's now the six month. The first two months was going alright, but now, now this damn baby is a pain in the ass, it keeps growing and it hurts! It also kicks at any random time!

At the moment I'm at the guild, with Sting and the other's, since Gray's out on a mission. We told the guild and surprisingly they didn't react bad when we told them the news, it was actually the opposite. They celebrated for our new addition of the family. It turned out that Sting and Rogue also knew about the Dragon Slaying Mating Season and told everyone about it, and what else is shockingly was that they also came out the same day and admitted they were both a couple, and Sting's who turns out was a submissive, also's carrying. So now we have two pregnant male Dragon Slayers. Great!

In the meantime, me and Sting, who's seating next to me in a bench, is also in pain. Stupid babies! Why must you curse us with more pain! Aren't we gonna be in pain enough when we have you! I ignored the sympathy and pity looks the others were giving us. They don't know what we're dealing with here! I plopped down on the table groaning.

"So much pain...." I mumbled out.

"Same..." Sting groaned out besides me.

"You guys are so pathetic. You can't take in a little pain. I wonder how you two will react when you're in labor and going to have c-section." Minerva mumbled out. But with our enchanted hearing, we heard every word.

"Shut it! I wanna see how you'll react if you was in my place!" We shouted in unison.

"My bad. I didn't mean to get your undies in a twist." She put her arms up in a surrounding way.

"It's fine. You wouldn't understand. I get it." I mumbled out, before laying my head in my arms, in misery.

"Jeez, now look what you did now, Minerva! You made them more miserable!" Orga said.

"Sorry," Minerva mumbled.

"It's fine." We mumble in unison, again. I hissed in pain, holding back a cry, when the baby suddenly kicked, hard, again. Yukino looked at me worried.

"Hey, you okay?" I looked up to see her concern expression.

"Yeah, it just hurts when the baby kicks is all." I replied, before looking to my side where Sting is holding his stomach in pain. Poor guy, I know what he's going through, handling the pain all alone. Now that I just notice, I haven't seen Rogue around. Raising my head, I looked around, ignoring the others stare.

"Hey, where's Rogue?" I asked out of nowhere.

"He's in a mission..." Sting mumbled in pain.

"Oh."

"What?" He asked me looking up curious.

"Nothing, it's just weird how both of our boyfriend's are in a mission, yet we're both in pain..." I explained.

"Well that's reasonable. We can't exactly go on missions with them, with being pregnant." He blushes slightly from mentioning the word. I chuckled from his reaction, which he seemed to notice.

"Hey, It's not funny! It's kinda embarrassing." He hid himself in his arms. I couldn't help but giggle slightly.

"Not really." He looked up and stared at me confused,

"Oh, so you don't think it's weird, sometimes, for a male to be pregnant?" I shot him a fierce look.

"No, I don't. It doesn't matter what other people care about! It's what you think about yourself! We're already weird, or even freaks to begin with, we're dragon slayers, we breath, eat, and shoot our natural elements, having another addition to it won't change anything!" I shouted out. I didn't realize the whole guild was listening on, before I heard everyone clapping, whistling, and cheers from my inspiring speech. I ducked my head, embarrassed. But that's what I truly felt, so I'll take it to pride. I looked up again, and saw Sting tearing up slightly from my speech.

"Th-that wa-was s-so be-beautiful!~" He shouted out, before hugging me tightly, (not to tight with the babies in the way of course), and started sobbing on my shoulder. I laughed from his reaction.

"Yeah, yeah, you big cry baby," I sighed, returning the hug. Stupid hormones! Seriously he's having a baby, yet he's crying like one! Everyone chuckled from our master's reaction to the speech, before going back to what they were doing. What we didn't know at the moment, was that two certain people was here the whole entire time, listening. Until, we both smelt our mates close by, too close. We let go of each other, before looking up and saw our mates smiling down at us.

"ROGUE!"

"GRAY!" We ran to our special person arms. I looked up and saw Gray's warming smile. I returned it.

"I miss you," I mumbled so only he could hear, (besides the other two of course), while snuggling to his neck.

"I missed you, too. It was only a few hours, thought, did you missed me that bad?" He said teasingly. But I took it seriously.

I looked up into his dark blue eyes and said, "Yes, I did. Actually, I miss you every moment when you're not besides me." I confessed warmly. We ignored the aww's surrounding us. He looked surprised at first, before he too gave me a warm, loving look. He leaned forward to give me a tender kiss, I returned it without any hesitation. We broke apart when I hissed in pain. He looked down at me concern.

"Natsu? What's wrong?! Are you okay?!" He asked me, very worried for my wellbeing. I had to hold back a chuckle, seeing he looked almost ready to panic.

"Don't worry, just the baby keeps kicking," I replied.

He sighed in relief, before saying, "Thank god, I thought something worse was happening."

"Calm down, you worry to much," I said. He suddenly looked at me with a fierce look.

"No way am I calming down when you're in pain. When you're in pain, I'm in pain." I was shocked a his words but I oddly felt better. The pain suddenly went away. Weird, when he's around I always feel better.

I shot him my adorable smile, one he always says was to cute for my own good. Making him swoon over and hug me affectionately, instantly, which I gigged right after. After a few minutes, we decided to separate and go home. Leaving behind a blushing and squealing guild.

After getting home late, since we went shopping, I decided to go bathe. Gray, who asked for my assistant was pushed away. I'm not completely helpless you know! Locking the door behind me, so Gray won't come in and do anything naughty while I'm bathing. Taking all my clothes out, and looking in the full body mirror besides the door, I realized I'm getting bigger. My stomach was about 21-26 inches. Wow was this baby big! I went to go turn on the hot water, I slowly went inside. It always did felt good when it's hot! After rinsing myself from the soap, I laid back and relaxed on the steaming water. It felt nice, for awhile, when suddenly the kicking came back. This time I couldn't hold back a cry, it just hurt so much!

"Ahh! Dammit!" I cursed out. I held onto my stomach, rubbing it to smooth out the pain, when it didn't, I decided to get up and get Gray. For some reason, it always disappeared when he rubbed my stomach. When I unplugged the drainer, and got out of the shower. I lost my footing on the tiles, which lead me to fall on my side.

"AHHHH!!!" I screamed out in pain. Pain! Oh god, so much pain! Tears fell down my face from the amount of agony I was in. I felt a sticky liquid fall down my forehead and my side. I immediately realized it was blood. Oh god, I'm bleeding! THE BABY! Oh god, please, please let it be alright! I tried getting up but only to fall back down. The pain was too much! I never felt this helpless. This useless. I didn't know Gray was behind the door, until I heard banging and shouting on the bathroom door.

"NATSU!!! ARE YOU OKAY?!?! ANSWER ME!!! OPEN THE DOOR!!!" Gray shouted, sounding scared and worried for me. Gray. My mate, my boyfriend, my everything.

"Gray..." I managed to say. It came out as a whisper. My vision came and go, and vice versa. I soon saw the door broken, on the ground. Just like me, broken.

"NATSU!!!" He shouted. He sounded like he was crying. He came rushing towards me, looking terrified at the amount of blood.

"Natsu! Are you okay?! Oh god, the baby! Natsu?!" He shouted almost hysterical. I slowly looked up into his dark blue warmly eyes that now showed nothing but terrified red-rimed eyes, with fast tears running down his handsome face.

"Gr-Gray..." I whispered in pain.

"Don't talk! Save your strength! Don't worry, you're gonna be okay." With those words, he carefully carried me up bridle style, (I didn't had it in me to shout at him for being carried as a princess, I just let him do it), his cold arms, now felt warm for once. Or was it me getting colder? He seemed to realize the same thing because not a second later, he started panicking. Before barging outside, he snatched a dark blue blanket, and wrapped it over me, so I won't be completely naked. My breathing soon became labored. My eyes tight shut. Oh god, it hurts! The movement, the running, everything! I opened my eyes to see the night sky full of stars. It's so beautiful! Turning my head slightly, I saw Gray.

He was shouting something but I couldn't register what he was saying. After a moment, I did. "...Tsu! Hang on! Don't you dare give up on me! Not now! Not ever! Please! Please just hang on! We're almost there! Just don't you dare leave me behind! I promised you I won't, so promise me you won't!" Tears escaped my eyes from how much amount of love those words held. I held onto those words like a lifetime.

"I-I... I-I pro-promise..." I managed to say. He looked down and laid his forehead on my rapidly getting cold one.

"I love you!" He said with so much love.

"I-I.... L-Love... Y-You.., T-Too..." My vision soon turned dark a moment later.

Right before I blacked out I heard, "I LOVE YOU, MORE!!!!" Then a shout for help. Frantic movements later. And before I knew it, I fell into darkness.
__________________________

It felt like forever when I finally awaken from my unconsciousness. The first thing I register was the bright light. Squeezing my eyes shut again, I opened it slowly to get use to, before feeling a heavy weight on my hand, only to see Gray leaning forward on my bed, holding my hand tightly. Wait bed? Looking around, I realized I was in the guilds infirmary. I guess he made it here in time. Looking down at my stomach, I realize with a relief, the baby was still there. Well, I hope!!!

A sudden groan abruptly cut off my thoughts. Looking down at Gray once more, I saw him waking up. Soon enough I saw his red-rimed dark blue eyes widening.

"NATSU! YOU'RE FINALLY AWAKE!" He said with so much joy and relief, that I couldn't help myself from giggling.

"I sure am!" I said cheerfully. Looking up into his warm-welcoming eyes, I couldn't help but notice his watery smile.

"I'm glad, I was really worried. Thankfully, you and the baby turned out alright. You just banged your head a little to hard and broke a rib, but you're healed now." He explained softly.

"That's good. How long have I been unconscious?" I suddenly asked.

"For about two days. But the others said, you could go home once you're finally awake." He stated. Looking down into our intertwine fingers, I realized I've been squeezing it tightly without realizing it. I was about to let go, when he suddenly held into mine tightly.

"You know, I was really close to losing you both that night, over something so trivial. I'm... I'm sorry." He apologized.

"No need, I should be the one apologizing. I'm the one who pushed you away when I obviously needed the help. I guess I was just being stubborn." I said solemnly. I really did feel bad, he was just worried for my and the baby's wellbeing and I just pushed him away. I feel so guilty.

"It's alright, it's over now. The only thing that matters is that you're both alright now."And with that, he leaned forward to catch my lips, catching me off guard, with me squealing from the sudden action. I didn't hesitate to lean into the warm lips. We both fought for dominates, but Gray easily won. It felt nice being submissive. I let him lead the way.

After a while of our passionate make out section, we had to separate for some needed air. "Lets go home," he said affectionately. I nodded. After a few minutes of settling in, I was once again being carried bridle style in his warm, oddly, arms, but I didn't mind it this time. Instead I laid comfortable, so comfortable that I didn't realize I was slowly falling asleep. Since it was late when I woke up, and there wasn't many people at the guild and outside, we made it back home quickly. It was quiet, not uncomfortable, but instead it was nice, peaceful even.

I was so lost into the warmth, that I didn't realize I was laying on the bed, facing Gray, with his arms wrapped around my waist and stomach, protectively. I did register snuggling, closer to his cold yet warm neck.

Before I could completely fall asleep, in my lovers arms, I heard Gray whisper out with fondness, "Sleep dreams, my little dragon. I love you," I unconsciously, automatically let out a, "I love you, too," he chuckled fondly, before replying with a, "I love you, more." And with those words said, I fell in a deep peaceful dream. One without pain and suffering, but one with warmth and care..... Not knowing the pain and dread that's soon to come.....
