"Nursing does not diminish the beauty of a woman's breasts; it enhances their charm by making them look lived in and happy." - Robert A. Heinlein

Chapter 33

Mother's Milk

Gray leaned back with a loud sigh. "Sheesh, those bandits were idiots. Seriously, what did they call themselves?"
"The Jiggle Butt Gang," Natsu smirked. The obtuse bandits had been immensely proud of their massive spandex-covered hind sides and the matching ridiculous name, insisting throughout their failed heist that everyone should remember it...like anyone could forget that! "You didn't need to call Capricorn for those losers, Lucy. I thought you weren't going to call your Spirits at all, just in case one of them realizes we're not in Fiore anymore."
She huffed with a puckered pout and cute glare. "I had Luke in my arms, I couldn't fight, and when I called for help none of you guys heard me."
Wendy shrank down feeling guilty. "I'm sorry."
"Don't apologize," Charle scolded. "You were in the bathroom when they broke in. There was no way you could have helped Lucy."
"I doubt they would've attacked a woman with a baby," Levy assured her. "The one I fought was rather a gentleman. An idiot, but chivalrous."
"They're good guys deep down," Wendy said defensively.
"Well, I didn't know that," Lucy huffed. "They're robbers, and this isn't their first attempted train robbery. They're quite notorious, you know."
Natsu snorted a laugh. "Notoriously bad!"
Lucy ignored him. "For all I knew, they would've kidnapped Luke to ransom him."
"She's right," Erza nodded. "She needs to be careful since there are enemies after her."
Natsu shrugged casually. "We left that queenie and fish-head back in Fiore. No one out here knows us. Now, since I'm not sick anymore, I'm starving." He ran off fast toward the dining car.
"Poor Natsu," Wendy pouted. "I need to limit the use of Troia, but I figured he should be able to defend himself against the robbers."
"It's fine," Erza assured her. "He hasn't been able to eat well in weeks. After that fight, I could use some cake. How about we all go eat?"
They happily agreed and went to the train's dining car. For fighting off the bandits, the train conductor offered them free meals for the rest of their trip. Obviously, he was unaware of just how long they were riding this train, and just how much a group of hungry mages could eat. Natsu was in the midst of scarfing down all the meat and rice he could grab, getting bits of food all over his face and muffler. Gray heartily joined him. Happy was no better with gnawing through fish after fish, tossing the bones aside. The girls opted to eat at another table far away from the flying bits of food.
Levy watched them and giggled. "Those guys are even worse than Jet and Droy, although Droy has gotten pretty bad lately."
"It's fine, they're growing boys," Erza waved off, digging into her cake and savoring each bite.
Wendy gazed longingly at the creamy strawberry frosting on Erza's dessert. "C-can I have a little taste?" she asked uncertainly.
Erza chuckled at her timidity. "The food is free, so have your own piece."
"Really?" she gasped, her huge eyes shining.
Charle held her paw up to protest. "A young girl should be careful about eating too many sweets. You'll ruin your complexion and gain weight."
"But Erza eats cake all the time, and she never gets fat," Wendy protested, really wanting some cake.
Lucy chuckled softly. "I think it all goes to her boobs."
"I heard that," Erza said, but she did not give an emotional response.
That clenched it for Wendy. She stood up fast and hailed a waiter. "I want an entire cake!"
"Wendy!" Charle protested.
"Good girl," Erza nodded in approval, while Levy and Lucy merely laughed.
After the boys had their fill, they left the disastrous table to eat dessert with the girls. Wendy got through only two slices of cake before she felt sick and had to give the rest to Erza. Natsu ordered a banana foster flambé, more interested in the blue flame the dessert produced. Gray sucked a popsicle, Levy had frozen yogurt, and Lucy slurped a chocolate shake.
After eating, Natsu laughed as he sat Luke on his lap. "He's grown huge!" he exclaimed.
"Well, you've been half-conscious and sick for so long," Lucy pouted, although even she was aware of how fast her son was growing.
"Hey Luke," Natsu called, getting a bop on the nose. "Yeah, you remember me. Can you say my name yet? Say Natsu. Natsu!"
"Wooorh!" Luke cried out loudly.
Lucy giggled and swallowed down her food. "I think he's trying to say roar."
"Ooh, so you wanna roar, huh?" Natsu lifted Luke up and swung him around, getting the baby to squeal. "You can grow up as my little mini dragon buddy."
Lucy smiled as Natsu played with Luke. It was not the first time she thought that her immature and destructive friend would make a great father one day. She had to admit, she used to daydream about little pink-haired children running around setting things on fire. Now she had a little orange and blond lion cub.
Wendy pulled his attention over. "Hey, Luke. Do you know who he is?" She pointed to the Ice-Make mage.
Luke laughed happily and exclaimed, "Gay!"
Natsu smiled, then snorted, then covered his mouth as more chuckles escaped. Unable to hold it back, he began to laugh so hard he fell backwards in his chair and rolled over the floor. Happy chuckled a little, and Levy giggled softly. Gray folded his arms, not at all amused.
"But that's real good," Lucy admitted. "We know he meant Gray, and he recognizes your name."
Natsu pounded the floor in laughter. "Awesome! Ya see that, Stripper? Even a baby knows you're into other guys."
Gray's eyes narrowed into an icy glare. "Even if I was, why is that so funny?"
Natsu ignored the question. "Keep sucking your popsicle, Gay. It's cream-filled, right?" He burst into louder peals of laughter.
Erza bonked Natsu on the head. "No more homosexual jokes. It's crude."
"Oww! Sorry, Erza. Sorry, Gay...I mean Gray." He shielded his head from Erza's fist. "Really, I meant Gray!"
The Ice-Make mage merely rolled his eyes at his rival. Then, with a cunning smile, he leaned over to the baby. "Say 'Uncle Gray.'"
"Unkie Gay."
Gray straightened up with a smug smile, silently challenging Natsu to beat that.
The dragon slayer leaped up and leaned forward. "Say 'Uncle Natsu.'"
"Unkie Nana."
"Wow, so I'm gay and you're a nana," Gray teased right back at him.
Erza leaned right into Luke's face. "Say Erza," she demanded.
"Zah!" Luke laughed.
"Err-zaah!" she said in drawn-out syllables. "Err. Err. Erza."
Luke leaned forward, crouched just like Erza was, and his almond-shaped eyes squinted in a cute mock-glare. "Rrrrrr," he growled back like a tiny lion. "Rrrrr-zah!"
She nodded in satisfaction. "He's growing up to be a wise young man."
"Is that so?" Lucy laughed nervously. It was a miracle Erza's scary faces never intimidated the baby and made him cry.
Charle pouted at all of them. "Sheesh, he's still a baby, you know."
"Mama," Luke called out, and he stretched his arms out to her. "Hungie."
"Aww, are you hungry already? All right, Luke," she chuckled, and pulled him up onto her lap. She began to lift her shirt but noticed Natsu leaning forward, staring at her chest eagerly. "Excuse me!" she cried out.
Gray punched him in the shoulder. "Don't stare at her."
"I'm just curious," he protested. "We've been traveling together for weeks now, but I never really get to see you feeding him up close. How does the milk come out?"
Lucy sighed and lifted her shirt anyway. "It's not like all of you haven't seen my boobs plenty of times during this trip. Go ahead and look, if you want."
To her surprise, all seven of them pulled in a little closer.
"Does it hurt?" Happy asked in a soft voice.
"Sometimes a little," Lucy admitted. "Only when he bites. Otherwise...well, it feels rather good," she admitted with a blush.
"What does it taste like?" asked Levy.
"Tastes good," Natsu grinned.
"You tried it?" Wendy asked, looking shocked and borderline traumatized.
"From a bottle," Lucy insisted loudly. "And that was Cana's beer bottle. Mother's milk does not taste like honey beer."
"It doesn't?" asked Natsu. "Then I wanna taste."
Gray was about to hit him, but Erza's armored fist bonked Natsu on the head again.
"Oww!" he whined, rubbing out a second lump on his head. "I mean from a regular bottle, or a cup, whatever, not...not that," he said defensively.
"It'd be weird to drink," Wendy said hesitantly.
Erza nodded. "True, but I have to admit, I've always been curious."
"You too?" Lucy sighed, knowing that if Erza also wanted to know, then they probably all did. "Okay, fine. Wendy, give me a cup. Gray, take Luke for a moment." She lowered her blouse and rose from her seat. "Gah, this is weird." She turned to go.
"I wanna see how you milk yourself," Natsu said eagerly. "Is it like a cow?"
"No!" she yelled, and Lucy began to turn dark red. "I'll...I'll be back." She rushed off to the bathroom.
Gray put Luke over his shoulder and began patting his back. "You sure are a nosy group."
"Sorry," Wendy pouted.
"It's natural for a woman to be curious about what her body can do," Erza said proudly. "What's unnatural is Natsu's fascination."
"I'm curious, too," he pouted. "I don't remember my mother. For all I know, I might have never tasted Human milk. What does your milk taste like, Erza?"
"Idiot!" She blushed as bright as her hair. "Only mothers have breast milk."
"Not true," Wendy said with a perky smile. "I read in one of the books on how to be a midwife, women can stimulate themselves into lactation even if they've never had a baby before. That's how wet nurses do it." She muttered to herself, "I wonder, if I try that, would I get bigger?"
"Cool," Natsu grinned. "Hey Erza..."
She raised a fist right in front of his eyes, and the whole room seemed to darken in her fury. In a deep, dangerous tone, she warned, "If you ask what I think you're about to ask, so help me, I will make you wet yourself at the mere thought of a woman's chest."
"Aye sir. I'll be good," Natsu squeaked out.
"Aren't you curious too, Gray?" asked Levy.
He blushed and looked away. "Why should I be?"
Happy covered his mouth and laughed. "He's already tasted it."
"Shut up!" the ice mage yelled.
Wendy turned red. "You mean..."
"In a bottle," he yelled over her. "She had some stored in the fridge back home, and I tasted a little, okay?" He crossed his arms and slouched. "Like you guys were saying, it's only natural to be curious."
Lucy returned still looking embarrassed as she silently handed the cup over. Natsu eagerly took it and looked inside.
"Looks like milk."
Lucy sat down in a huff. "Of course it does! What did you think it would be: pink?"
He sipped a little before passing the cup on to Erza. "It's warm."
"Well, I'm not a human refrigerator like Gray," she said wryly.
Erza took a dainty sip and swished it around her mouth as if it was a fine wine. "Not bad. You must eat well for it to taste so good."
Lucy looked bashful. "I do try to eat balanced meals."
Wendy tried it next. "Sweeter than I expected."
Charle was the next to take a sip. "It's decent," she decided snootily.
Happy took the cup and slurped some, then passed it to Levy. "Hehe, I got an indirect kiss from Charle."
Lucy's eyes narrowed. "Is that all you care about?"
Levy tried it next. "You're right, it's sweet. It's a little weird to think that this came out of you."
"Yeah, well, it's weird thinking you're all drinking my breast milk," she grumbled.
Gray looked at the cup with uncertainty. Granted, he had tasted this before, but it was something he got from a bottle in the refrigerator. Knowing this was fresh out of Lucy's breasts made him feel awkwardly aroused.
"You don't have to," Lucy assured him. "I bet Natsu would love to finish it off."
"Yeah, it's good," Natsu said eagerly.
"No, I...I'll try it." Summoning up some courage, Gray took a sip.
It was warm, and it had a sweet, slightly nutty taste, like the milk left over after eating cereal. To Gray, it was the most wonderful taste in the world. He wanted to drink it every day. Especially knowing this was fresh from her breasts! His mind drifted to weird thoughts, how badly he wanted to suckle those breasts, drink up her milk, while Lucy cradled him, stroked his hair, and gave him a motherly smile.
Gray thrust the cup back to Natsu. "It's...okay."
"You're blushing," Erza pointed out with a smirk.
Happy giggled. "He llllllllllikes it!"
Natsu greedily drank more. "I really like the smell. It smells like Lucy, and it's sweet like Lucy."
The Spirit Mage chuckled. "Aww, Natsu! Thanks."
He gave her a huge grin, then drank down the rest. "I wonder if you can make ice cream out of it."
"What!" Lucy roared.
Natsu laughed devilishly. "If Gray was a girl, he'd make ice cream in his tits."
Gray drew back his fist and formed a magic circle around it. "I'll make you shit ice cubes for a week, you flame-brain."
"Bring it on, ice bastard!"
"Boys," Erza interrupted.
Both Gray and Natsu instantly sat up and looked proper. "Yes, Erza-san?" the said in unison.
"Play nice," she said calmly.
"Just joking between good friends," Gray assured nervously. "It's a friendly rivalry, right, Natsu?"
"Aye, sir!" the dragon slayer squeaked.
Later that night, Gray got up to get some midnight water and saw a light in the observation car a little further down from their sleeper car. He shuffled forward and squinted sleepily into the brightness. Lucy leaned back in a chair, staring out the wide train window at the darkness, her eyes turned up to the stars, while Luke suckled at her breast.
She noticed Gray in the doorway and smiled. "Can't sleep?"
"Wendy's spell wore off. Natsu's groaning too loudly to sleep. I just hope he doesn't puke up that huge meal we ate."
"Well, you can keep me company. Luke woke up from a nightmare."
"With all the excitement today, I'm not all that surprised."
He got a glass of water and sat across from her. His eyes fell to the baby sucking away, his tiny hands pressing on Lucy's huge bosom, his eyes closed in satisfaction. Gray watched his tiny mouth work and listened to the baby making cute grunting noises as he slurped and gulped. He also saw how doing this gave Lucy a sleepy, happy look, almost like it put her into a trance. He wondered if it felt as good as when a man sucked a woman's breasts. Gray had a few girlfriends in the past. He recalled how women moaned and blushed when he played with their breasts. Yet Lucy looked more pacified, as if nothing could be wrong in this world while her child feasted.
"Still curious?"
Gray jumped at her words. Lucy's face was still pointed to the window, but her brown eyes had shifted over to him. She had a faint smile on her lips.
"It's...n-not like that," he said, although he felt his face turn red. "I was thinking, watching you and Luke like this...it suits you. The motherly look, I mean," he said, feeling awkward. "You look like you're really happy."
"Mmh," she hummed with a nod, and her eyes drifted down to her son. "I didn't want to say anything to the others, but it really does feel good when he nurses."
Gray gulped hard at that.
"More than just in a perverted way," she laughed, finding his blushing face a bit cute. "I guess I like feeling that he depends upon me. It won't last much longer."
"Huh? Wh-what do you mean, won't last?"
"He's eating soft food already. He's growing so fast, he'll be on solid food in no time. He wants to eat normal food, but Wendy said the nutrients in the breast milk could be helping him to cope with his accelerated growth. She recommended that I shouldn't wean him until he's at least physically two years old."
"Which at his rate of growth means eight months," Gray calculated. "It's May already, he was born in November...you're right, that's not too far away. And he'll be physically two..." He realized that some of the worry in Lucy's face lately was due to this. Her son was growing up before she had a chance to enjoy his infancy.
They fell silent. Gray tried looking out the window, but his eyes returned to Luke again. He recalled the day he heard about Lucy getting pregnant, how jealous and furious he felt, mad enough to attack Loke and threaten him. Then he remembered when Loke disappeared, how Lucy sobbed while Gray held her and swore on that rainy day that he would fight to the death to get Loke back. He remembered the day Luke was born, how tiny he was, how proudly Loke beamed showing him off to the guild, and how happily Lucy smiled through her exhaustion. That tiny baby was now the size of a toddler. He once thought he could never bring himself to accept a child of Loke. Now...he almost wished...
"What is it this time?"
Again, Lucy's voice startled him. "Uh...nothing."
"You're staring at my chest rather obsessively." She smirked at him and teased, "Don't tell me you're getting perverted thoughts."
"No!" Well, yes, but that was not the main thing. "Is it weird to watch a woman breastfeeding and think...maybe you'd...I dunno," he grumbled, "sorta wanna see your own child being fed like that?"
"I think it's part of human instinct, an ingrained desire to have children, propagation of the species and all."
"I guess that makes sense," he muttered, but he knew it was more than that. He wanted to be the one wrapping his arm around Lucy, watching her nurse their son, a little black-haired boy with chocolate brown eyes. He wanted to feel that sort of pride, and he was jealous that such an honor belonged only to Loke. Lucky bastard!
"Hey." Lucy's smile told him that she saw through his mask. She knew exactly what he was feeling. "You'll have your own kids one day, Gray. You're still young. One day you'll find a woman, marry her, have kids...hopefully in that order! You'll feel immensely happy as you watch her nurse your child, and you'll love her deeply."
He wanted, so desperately, to tell her 'I already love a woman deeply.' But he couldn't! He didn't have the right to say those words! Gray rose from his seat, and Lucy watched his stiff movements with worried eyes.
"I hope we reach Kohinur soon," he said, pitching his voice to sound casual, but Lucy saw Gray's fists squeeze tightly. "I want Loke to return. He deserves to feel that happiness watching you." Then he rushed back to his bedroom. Although Natsu was still moaning in sickness, it mattered little because Gray already knew he would not be able to sleep that night.
End of Chapter 33

Rhov's Corner:

Kudos to everyone who guessed the group that attacked Lucy was the Jiggle Butt Gang. I went back to this after they appeared in the anime. They're originally from Hiro Mashima's "Rave Master." If you haven't read it, you should, if only to gawk at how kickass Plue can be, drool over Musica and theorize he's the long-lost cousin of Gray and Gajeel, fall in love with Sieg Hart...and cry for him!
Because someone got confused, "nana" is American slang for "grandmother." I guess I should watch out for language-specific jokes.
I admit, when my sister had her baby, I was curious about how nursing worked. However, she was a prude and used a pump. I sneaked a sip of her bottled milk once. If you've ever had almond milk (which I love, being lactose intolerant) it tastes like that.
=^o.o^= Rhov, you're weird.
Well Happy, I think drinking cow's milk is weird. I mean... it's from a cow! Human milk is meant for humans.
=^-.-^= I would never drink Charle's milk. That's too gross.
You liked Lucy's milk.
=^._.^= Yeah, but I'm a cat.
…Point taken.
