Hello Everyone! So this is my first fanfic ever! I'm more a reader than a writer so… tell me if it's awful I guess. If not, ENJOY!
Levy was sitting. She was sitting and staring at those lines. Those two pink lines. The same two pink lines that will most likely change the course of her entire life starting now!
"Oh…wow," she said with a loss for words as thousands of thoughts and scenarios ran through her brain. What am I going to tell him? How am I going to tell him? How will he react? Will he want it? Will he… leave me?
Levy McGarden and Gajeel Redfox have been going out now for about two years, coming up on their third. They've never really talked about children; she wasn't sure how he would react and any topic relating to it would be quickly eluded by the dragon-slayer. She just assumed it was because of this thick-headedness or maybe the fact he doesn't really think about the future that much.
Anyways, back to the present. This same dragon-slayer just happens to be on a mission with his faithful cat and best friend Lily, and should be arriving home in a day or two (more or less).
This gave her time to think at least. Should I wait for him and tell him first, or ask Lucy for some advice…she always knows what to do. Maybe her and Natsu have talked about it before, although being that he is even more thick-headed than Gajeel, I doubt it. She sighed, but…. Would he be mad that he wouldn't be the first to know? I heard some men don't like that. There were just so many variables to consider. Eventually, she had to give in; she just didn't know what to do, and Lucy would. So Lucy it is!
Walking to the guild went smoothly, she needed to go for a walk anyways. Finding Lucy, however… not as easy. It also didn't help that Levy was so on edge because of her current brain overflow. Eventually she ended up asking around—avoiding the systematic fighting between Natsu and Gray—and walked over to Mia.
"Hey Mira! Do you know where Lucy is? It's really important."
Mira with her interest now peaked, welcomed Levy. "Hmmm, I haven't really seen her around here today, and she hasn't gone on a mission or anything, so maybe she's still home recovering from her last one or something like that. Is there anything that I can help you with though? You've made me curious," she giggled and put her hand to her mouth meanwhile Levy saw that devious twinkle in her eye.
But she just smiled, "ha ha, no everything's fine Mira," she lied quickly, "I just need to ask her something really fast. Thanks though, I'll definitely come back if I can't find her."
"Alright Levy, I'll see you around then." Mira smiled
"Bye!" Ok, off to Lucy's then, she thought heading out over to the apartment while avoiding everyone in the guild –especially Jet and Droy, she just couldn't deal with them right now—and got out of the guild faster than she thought she was even capable of. She just really needed Lucy right now.
Finally! She exclaimed as she made it to Lucy's. She walked up to the entrance and knocked Please be here, Please be here Please Please Please!
The anticipation was killing her. Just as she was about to turn to leave, sighing in defeat with her head hanging, the door opened with a very sleepy looking Lucy behind it.
Her head snapped straight up, She must have just woken up as she took in Lucy's appearance "Hey Luc, sorry for waking you, do you have time to talk though, I-I just really need to talk," she asked trying not to tear up, though she was probably failing.
It was then that Lucy saw who it was and immediately woke up. "Oh! Levy! Hey! Yeah, sure. Come in, Come in!" she said as she moved to the side to let her in.
Levy ran in and hugged the blond, to which Lucy hugged back, sensing something was wrong.
"Levy? What's the matter?"
She opened her mouth but nothing came out. And that's when she couldn't contain her emotions any longer and began sobbing into her best friend's shirt. She couldn't stop, and she didn't for a while. Lucy just held her friend close, and consoled her to the best of her ability. She always knows what to do.
Eventually, Levy dried her tears and tried talking.
"It's ok Levy, you can take your time," Lucy said with a worried expression, "I'll go make you some tea real quick, Ok? Don't move, just relax and tell me all about it when I return" and she got up and went to the kitchen
Pull yourself together! Levy yelled at herself. Moments Later, Lucy returned with the tea, and sat down across from Levy. "Ok, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious. Is it Gajeel? He hasn't been here for about a week though, so maybe not."
By this time, Levy was able to speak without choking back anymore tears. "Yes and no" She sighed. "I'm… I'm p-….. I'm just not sure how to say it" she said rubbing her face.
"Well, I mean, I can't help, if you don't tell" Lucy said with a grin.
Levy smiled back. "Ok…." After a pause she just went for it, "I'm pregnant…"
Lucy—who decided that that was the best time to take a large gulp of tea—spat all of it back out. "WHAT! Oh my gosh Levy! I'm so happy for you! ...Wait, you're sad. Why are you sad?!"
Levy chuckled at the reaction and then answered Lucy returning to her gloomy state "I'm not sad, I just… I don't know! Like…. I don't know how he'll react or how to tell him. I mean, we've never talked about it or anything. What if he doesn't want it! He'll leave me! I don't even know if he likes children…" she sighed
"Well, he seems to get along with Wendy well enough, and I remember when he just started at the guild he took this job that I was going to take that had something to do with teaching children magic or something like that, so he cant hate them.
I think you're overreacting" Levy thought about what Lucy said and realized she was probably right, "ok, yeah, I think I may be overreacting just a bit. But still… I'm just so nervous; I don't want him to have a harder life than he's had so far"
Lucy gave a knowing look, "sure, he may be a little hesitant at first, and maybe he won't even have a reaction at all. But we know for a fact that he would never leave you Levy. The way he looks at you… he can't. He loves you.
Levy could only sigh in relief and hold her heart. "I love him too…" she whispered.
Lucy smiled, got up, and hugged her. "See? As long as you know that, you won't need to be worried."
"I still get to be nervous thought right? Because I don't think that's going to go away."
"Hahaha, yeah that's fine"
AAHHHHH! Ok, so I'm done with that. I'm going to try and update as often as I can, so till next time!
