Summary: After seeing how good Natsu is with Asuka, Lucy thinks about how good he would be with other kids, possibly theirs. 

A/N: I’ve always thought about writing a one-shot about Lucy thinking about having kids with Natsu after seeing how good he is with Asuka and now this adorable cover for the new 100YQ chapter has given me an excuse to write it! 

-------------

“I am the fierce fire dragon!” Natsu growls and stomps his feet. “I shall destroy this guild hall and there is no wizard alive who can stop me! Mwahaha!” 

“Think again fire dragon!” Asuka says “You’ll never destroy this guild! I’ll defeat you!” 

Natsu leans over to look at her on the ground, kneeling and pointing her toy gun at him. 

“You think you can defeat us!” Happy taunts. “My Master is the fiercest dragon in all the land, no wizard has ever slain him before, what makes you think you can?” 

“Because I’m the best shooter in my guild! I can shoot anything!” Asuka says proudly. 

Natsu laughs evilly and Alzack and Bisca who were sitting at the bar, watching Natsu play with their daughter, laugh at the sight of the wizard and his cat in their dragon costumes while their daughter pretends to shoot them with her toy gun. 

Lucy had been on her way to the guild library to do some reading with Levy but when she saw Natsu and Happy in dragon costumes she had to know what ridiculous antics they were up to. She expected to see them doing something stupid and roll her eyes while debating why she hung around those idiots so much but instead she felt a warmth that started in her chest and made it’s way up to her cheeks when she saw Asuka pointing her toy gun at him and realized that he was playing with her. 

She had felt like this before. There was a time about two years ago when Alzack and Bisca had gone on a job and left Natsu to babysit Asuka. Lucy had initially tagged along with him to help out of fear for the girl’s safety but she quickly realized that Natsu was actually pretty good with children, and she had now idea how attractive that was.

She couldn’t explain why, but something about seeing Natsu play with Asuka made her feel all warm inside and caused her mind to wander to outlandish thoughts of him being like that with a child that they would create together. 

“Pow! Pow!” Asuka shouts and shoots Natsu and Happy in the chest with her toy gun. 

“Oh no!” They both shout and pretend that it really hurt. 

“I’m afraid we’ve been bested my apprentice! This gunslinging wizard is just too powerful!” Natsu shouts. 

“Oh Master, I will avenge you in the afterlife! Ahhh!” He shouts as Natsu falls backwards and they both land on the floor. 

Asuka laughs and jumps on top of them. 

“Look mommy and daddy I killed the dragons!” She cheers. 

“You sure did pumpkin.” Bisca says. 

“Yep, you’re a great shooter just like your mom and I.” Alzack says and wraps his arm around Bisca’s waist. 

Lucy watches Natsu hold Asuka on his chest and lift her up with his arms over his head and she laughs and kicks her legs and waves her arms. 

“Make me fly Natsu! Make me fly!” Asuka shouts. 

“Sure thing kiddo!” Natsu shouts. 

Lucy watches as Natsu runs around the guild hall holding Asuka over his head. 

“Whee!” She shouts. 

Lucy smiles and giggles as she watches. She held her book in one hand and her other was resting over her lower-stomach. She blushes when she realizes that and removes her hand before moving to go downstairs to Levy. What was getting into her? Hopefully no one saw her staring at Natsu and holding her womb like she was yearning to bear his children. 

----------

“Asuka, come get your lunch!” Bisca calls to her from the bar. 

“Oh yay! I’m so hungry!” Asuka says. 

Natsu sets her down and she runs over to her parents. 

“Hey Natsu why don’t you come take a seat, you must be tired after chasing that rugrat around.” Gajeel says.

“Me tired?” Natsu asks. “No way man, I’ve still got tons of energy! Little Asuka would have to play with me for a whole week straight before I got tired.” Natsu laughs.

“Then no wonder bunny girl was looking at you like that, gihee.” Gajeel laughs.

“Huh, Lucy was watching me?” Natsu asks. “And was she looking at me funny?” 

“She was looking at you the same way Levy looks at me sometimes, like she wants to have your babies.” Gajeel says. 

Natsu looks shocked. 

“Wait does this mean Lucy’s having my baby?!” Natsu shouts and Gajeel spits out his drink.

“I don’t know, you tell me! How the heck would I know if you two have been fooling around or not?” Gajeel shouts at him. 

“But I have been fooling around with her!” Natsu shouts back. 

Everyone in the guild hall collectively gasps and they all stare at Natsu in shock, not expecting that answer from him. 

“I pull pranks on her all of the time! Is that what you mean? Is that how you gave Levy your babies?” Natsu asks. 

Everyone groans and bangs their heads against something. 

“What? No that’s not how it happens you idiot!” Gajeel exclaims then turns to some of the older guild members who were sitting at a table together. “How the hell did Salamander grow up around a bunch of perverts like you and never learn where babies come from?!” Gajeel exclaims. 

“It wasn’t our fault. We tried to teach him along with the other kids once they hit puberty.” Macao says. 

“But Natsu just wouldn’t pay attention to what we were saying and kept trying to fight either one of us or Gray.” Gildarts explains. 

“So Makarov told us that we should just give up on trying to teach him ourselves and that he’d either figure it out on his own or he’d come to us for advice once he falls in love with someone and wants to know what to do.”  Wakaba says. 

“Well that explains a lot then.” Gajeel says before looking back at confused Natsu. 

“So Lucy’s not pregnant with my kid then?” He asks. 

“Nope. Definitely not, and probably not for a long time.” Gajeel says and sits back down. 

“Then why was she looking at me the way Levy looks at you?” Natsu asks. 

“She wasn’t looking at you the way she was because she’s already having your kids, she was looking at you like she could imagine having your kids, and having you take care of them. When guys do stuff like play with kids like how you were playing with Asuka and making her happy and giggly and stuff is attractive to girls. It shows them that you’d be a good father if you were to have kids with them.” Gajeel explains. 

“So Lucy was looking at me like she wants to have kids with me because of how I was playing with Asuka?” Natsu asks. 

“Yep. She thinks you’re good father material Salamander. If she wasn’t already in love with you, she’s probably falling even harder for you now, gihee.” Gajeel says and laughs before taking another sip of his ale. 

Happy flew over to where Carla was sitting. 

“So Carla, do you think I’m good father material too?” Happy asks. 

“Well I will admit you are rather good with children, but you and Natsu still need a lot of work on the romantic aspect of having a lifetime relationship with someone you want to have a family with.” Carla says.

----------

“Oh there you are Lu, what took you so long?” Levy asks as Lucy walks into the library. 

“Sorry I’m late Levy, I just got a little distracted upstairs.” Lucy says and rubs the back of her head. 

“What was going on? I thought I heard some sort of commotion going on up there, did Natsu start another fight?” Levy asks. 

“No, actually he made one up. He and Happy dressed up like dragons for Asuka to pretend to fight them. Then after they were done, he picked her up and ran around the guild hall with her while she pretended to fly. It was...really cute.” Lucy says. 

Levy smirks as Lucy recounts what happened upstairs, noticing the way she was blushing, holding her hand over her stomach, and how her gaze kept shifting from the table to Levy’s baby bump. 

“Wow, looks like you think Natsu’s good father material for you.” Levy says and Lucy shrieks in embarrassment and her face turns red. 

“What no! I don’t! I mean...I do think he would make a good father but that doesn’t mean I’d want to be the one to have kids with him or anything like that.”  Lucy nervously rambles. “I mean, sure he’s good with kids but as far as I know, I don’t even thinks he knows where they come from and it’s not like he’s even into romance anyway.” 

“That’s true, but that hasn’t stopped you from falling for him, has it Lu?” Levy asks and comes over to her blushing friend. “Sure it might seem hopeless right now but a girl can dream. I remember I used to think that there was no way Gajeel would ever fall in love with me and now here I am pregnant with his kids.” Lucy smiles as Levy brings her hand to her bump. “So have a little faith in Natsu, I’m sure one day he’ll be busting down your door asking you to start a family.” 

Lucy and Levy smiled until they heard the door burst open and turned to find Natsu in his dragon suit in the doorway. 

“Hey Lucy do you wanna have my baby?” He asks. 

Levy gasps and covers her mouth in surprise and Lucy screams in embarrassment and shock.

“Natsu what the hell!” Lucy shouts and whacks him in the face with the book she was holding. “You can’t just come running in here and ask a girl that question! Why in the world would you even ask me that you idiot!” 

“Because Gajeel said you wanted to have kids with me!” Natsu exclaims.

“He said what! Where would he get that crazy idea from!” Lucy shouts. 

“Because of the way you were looking at me when I was playing with Asuka. Gajeel said the way you were looking at me means you think I’m good father material.” Natsu explains. 

“Oh...” Lucy says and puts the book down. 

“Was Gajeel lying or something? If you want me too I’ll go beat him up.” Natsu offers.

“No you don’t have to do that.” Lucy laughs. “He wasn’t lying.” 

Levy quietly slips out of the library to leave the two of them alone to talk. 

“You’re really good with Asuka Natsu. She has so much fun playing with you and you look like you have a lot of fun playing with her, so sometimes it makes me think about how you’d be with other kids, and maybe your own kids in the future and how lucky they’d be to have you as a father.” Lucy says and blushes before Natsu slides his hands around her waist. 

“They’d be even luckier if they had you as a mother.” Natsu says and Lucy gasps and her eyes sparkle. “I may be good at playing with kids but as far as taking care of them and making them I haven’t got a clue. But you’re really good at taking care of people Lucy, heck me and Happy would be living in a messy house and living off of fish and only bathing once a week if it weren’t for you cleaning up our place, keeping us fed and nagging us to bathe more often.”  Lucy laughs. “You taught us how to take care of ourselves Lucy, I’m a better person now because of you and I couldn’t think of anyone else I’d want to have kids with. So do you wanna have kids with me like Levy and Gajeel?” 

“Natsu I’d love to but I don’t think we’re anywhere near ready to have kids yet. There’s a lot more you have to do with someone first before you start a family with them.” Lucy explains. 

“Like what?” Natsu asks. 

They hear the door open behind them and Natsu looks down and sees Asuka holding her toy gun and pointing it at him.

“Oh no! The Fire Dragon has captured a princess! Don’t worry I’ll save you!” Asuka says. 

Lucy laughs when she realizes that Asuka was referring to her as the princess and she holds onto Natsu’s shoulders as he lifts her bridal style up into his arms and laughs evilly. 

“Oh no! Please save me from the terrifying dragon gunslinging wizard!” Lucy shouts. 

“No way! You’ll never take her from me, she’s mine!” Natsu shouts. 

“Wait that’s it! I forgot the Fire Dragon is actually a cursed prince. The princess is the only one who can turn him back with true love’s kiss!” Asuka says. 

Natsu looks surprised and confused as he debates on whether he should play along or not because he doesn’t want to make Lucy uncomfortable but then he feels her lips against his cheek and blushes.

“Let’s start there.” She whispers to him as she unzips the dragon suit and Natsu steps out of it. 

“Yay I broke the curse!” Asuka cheers and runs over to Lucy and she hugs her. 

Natsu kneels down on the ground next to them and wraps them both in his arms before kissing Lucy’s cheek. 

“Okay, we’ll start there.” He tells Lucy before looking down at the adorable girl in her arms and both of them wonder if one day they’ll have their own little girl to hold just like this.

why do you include fraxus and not miraxus? :/

Why not? or Why should I include Miraxus and not Fraxus?

Fraxus just makes much more sense to me personally. I’m still not sure why Miraxus is put on such a high pedestal by so many people or set to a same level as the Big 4. Even after the last manga chapter.

If Mashima had initiated them as a couple he would have done much more between them and in the last chapter he made this even clearer. For example, Elfman and Evergreen don’t appear as often as others but the romantic aspect is very clear.

I really tend to get involved in ships that have visible on-panel relationships that are meaningful. Two people that have made it more than clear that they mean a lot to each other.

Nalu isn’t strictly canon as in confirmed to be in a relationship or in love but it’s so clear how much they care for each other. I love them so much and people can tell me what they want, but they are beautiful.

Gruvia, Jerza, Gajevy, Zervis and Elfever are pretty much all canon. Not all of them are in a relationship but the feelings are confirmed.

Stingue, Chendy and Fraxus are lgbtq+ ships but that doesn’t make them any less valid.

For Fraxus in particular they have various on-panel canon interactions and there are also many moments that indicate how much they care for each other. They also have the one or other on-panel parallel with one of the bigger ships.

Mashima didn’t pair up Freed or Laxus with anybody else in the end and he also didn’t have Freed or Laxus be interested in anybody else like they care for each other and that makes it even more believable.

It’s big or small moments but basically what I’m saying is that Fraxus has more of what bigger couples like the Big 6 (counting the Big 4 + Elfever and Zervis) have as the series went on, and Miraxus doesn’t.

It’s only fair to judge the ships by the same or similar standards.

It’s basically the same with Chendy and Rowen, too.

Chelia and Wendy have an important on-panel relationship. Rowen basically started to exist because they’re the same age. When the ship became popular they didn’t have a single interaction yet and not much has changed since then.

This could be an entire debate, but this is my point of view. Everyone can ship what they want, I have crack ships I really like, but it just makes more sense.

To me it’s logically

Nalu Gruvia Jerza Gajevy

Elfever Zervis

Fraxus

Stingue Chendy
