Prologue
Author's Note: Kind of a "What if…?" story. But the idea just popped up in my head.
I'm not a native English speaker, so excuse me for some bad grammar and chosen words^^
She looked down at the baby in her arms. He looked so adorable, so cute.
She felt already guilty about what she was going to do.
But she wasn't ready to be a mother. She never wanted to become on.
But she became pregnant because of an affair. As she figured it out, she wasn't able to kill the child inside her. So she carried him out and born him.
"I'm sorry", she murmured and laid the little boy down in his bed.
He was sleeping, not aware of the fact, that he loses his mother in this moment.
She went out of the room and faced her guild master, her father figure, the grandfather of her child.
"You want to leave him?"
"I am not ready to be a mother. I am a mage, but not a mother. I consider Fairy Tail as my family, so he will also do. And I believe… I believe he will overcome the pain to not know his mother. He won't need me, he will have the guild. And you. And his father. But he will live without his mother, without me."
"You're going to leave Fairy Tail?"
"No. I'll take a longer S-Class mission. Maybe someday I'll be able to meet him as his mother. But for now, no. I can't."
Without any further explanations she walked away.
She already stayed to long with him and now she feels guilt for her actions.
"I'm sorry Laxus…"
Laxus never knew his mother. His grandfather told him once, she was a great mage. And she was a member of Fairy Tail. But when the lightning mage asked, if she was alive, he never got the answer. His grandfather avoided to give him any explanations, why his mother wasn't there anymore.
And after some years he stopped asking. It didn't bother him.
Years passed and he forgot it. He never asked again about his mother.
The only thing he knew to 100% was that he has his lightning magic from his mother.
He had his blonde hair and orange eyes from his mother.
If Laxus would ever meet his mother, if she was alive, there was just one question he wanted to know:
Why did she leave him behind?
