Chapter 1

*Lucy's pov*

Natsu was off on a job and her cousin Laxus came and picked up Nash this morning and took him to the guild. Laxus was very protective of her, they had basically grew up together. His mom and her mom were sisters, but they were both dead. When Lucy ran away from home at 14 she came to Magnolia and moved in with Laxus and his grandfather Makarov. Makarov was like a father to Lucy. Laxus looked a little like Lucy, he was tall with spiky blond hair. He came over sometimes, Nash loved playing with Laxus. Nash was seven months old. In normal circumstances, Levy would of kept Nash for two nights and she would be with Natsu, but these circumstances weren't normal. Lucy had been feeling tired, having major headaches, her gums bled when she brushed her teeth and she had been losing weight for the last month, but she didn't think anything was wrong until 2 nights ago. The night before Natsu left, she was in the bathroom and out of nowhere her nose started bleeding. Natsu came in and blew a gasket he insisted she go to the doctor, so she made an appointment, she was probably coming down with the flu. So that's how she got here, to the doctor's office. She would have went to Porlyusica, but she didn't want to see anyone. Right then Dr. Slater came in, "OK Mrs. Dragneel, I've looked at your tests." Dr. Slater was a tall man with black hair, he looked really serious.

When she got there the nurses drew her blood and took her urine. "I don't know how to say this, but your blood test came back irregular." The doctor said.

"Irregular?" She asked.

"From what I can tell it looks like you have aml." He said.

"Whats aml?" She asked worriedly.

"Acute myeloid leukemia." He said.

Lucy looked at the doctor in disbelief. This couldn't be right. "Are you sure? Maybe you lo-"

Dr. Slater interrupted, "Mrs. Dragneel, this may come at a shock, but I'm 99.9% sure that you have aml. I'm going to call a colleague of mine, Dr. Martha Resnik, she specializes in helping people with leukemia. I'll have her office call you and let you know when the appointment will be. She can give you more information on the disease and how bad your condition is. Now I'm going to go into the other room to get you some paperwork on aml and a print out of my diagnosis." said the doctor as he walked out of the room.

As soon as she heard the door close she lost it, tears came out of nowhere. What was she going to do? How would she tell the guild? How would she tell Natsu? Or Laxus? Or Levy? What about Nash? Would he have to grow up without a mother like she did? Lucy didn't want to die. She wasn't going to let this stop her, people have beat cancer before and she wasn't going down without a fight!

Dr. Slater came back in and handed her a folder and began writing onto a small tablet, "Mrs. Dragneel, I'm going to prescribe you two medications, one is a pain killer for the headaches, the second is an iron pill. Good luck Mrs. Dragneel." He handed her two small pieces of paper then walked out of the room. So Lucy walked out of the office and got in her car, she sat there thinking. She stuffed the folder into the glove compartment She guessed she should call Laxus, since he had Nash.

So she dialed the number and he picked up on the second ring, she could hear the noise of the guild in the background, "Hey Lucy, whats up? How did your doctor's appointment go?"

"Fine Laxus, I was wondering if you could keep Nash for the rest of the day, I've got some errands to run?" She asked.

"Sure Lucy, oh, and Natsu called me and told me to tell you he will be home tonight." Laxus said.

"Ok, well I'm gonna go by-" she began.

"Hey Lucy, Natsu also asked me to keep Nash for the night and he invited me and Mira over for dinner." Laxus said.

"He WHAT! Why didn't he call me! Ugh ok I'll see you and Mira at dinner. Bye Laxus." She said.

"Bye Lucy." He said.

The next thing she did was to call Natsu, he picked up immediately. "Hey Luce, -"

"NATSU! WHY DID YOU INVITE LAXUS AND MIRA OVER WITHOUT TALKING TO ME FIRST? ALSO WHY DID YOU ASK HIM TO KEEP NASH TONIGHT?" She screamed.

"LUCY calm down, I just thought having Laxus over might make you feel better and that you might like it if the two of us had some ALONE TIME, but if you don't want them coming over I will call Laxus and tell him not-"

"That's so sweet, Natsu," she interrupted, "it will be good to have Laxus over and some us time but next time ask me before you invite anyone over." she said.

"Ok Luce, so how was the doctor?" He asked.

What should she do tell the truth? Lie? "It was ok Natsu." she said.

"Well what's wrong with you?" He asked.

"He doesn't know." She lied. "He's going to send me to another doctor, who might be able to find out what's wrong." She hated to lie to him, but lying was easier than telling him the truth. It would break his heart. Plus after seeing another doctor, she would have more information.

"Ok, so when do you go?" Natsu asked.

"I don't know, the doctor is going to call for me." She replied.

"Ok well let me know when you find out." He said.

"I will Natsu. Bye!" She said.

The first place Lucy went was the drugstore to get her prescriptions filled. Then she decided to go to the grocery store. Just as she walked into the store her phone rang, "Hello."

"Hello, is this Lucy Dragneel?" Asked a female voice.

"Yes this is, who is wanting to know?" She questioned.

"This is Dr. Resnik's office, an appointment has been set up for you tomorrow at 3 pm. Can you confirm that you will be at this appointment?"

Wow Lucy didn't expect an appointment this soon. "Yes, but where is your office located?" She questioned.

"Onibus. Now Mrs. Dragneel, Dr. Resnik also needs you to have two tests performed tomorrow before the appointment. You are to report to the Onibus Regional Hospital at 1 pm in the cancer research ward on the third floor." said the voice.

"What kind of tests?" Asked Lucy.

"A bone marrow aspiration and a bone marrow biopsy. You also cannot drive after the test." answered the voice.

"I can't drive!"

"No you can't see you tomorrow."

"Ok see you then." Onibus was an hour from here. She would have to take someone with he, but who?

Lucy picked up the things she would need for dinner and headed home.

As soon as Lucy got home she took out her phone and called Levy. "Hi Lu" Levy said.

"Hey Levy, you want to come over this afternoon?"

"Sure Lucy. See you soon."

Ten minutes later there was knock on the door and their stood Levy Redfox, her best friend. "Hey Levy, come in."

The two girls sat down on the couch and Lucy took the folder from the doctor from under the couch and through it on the table in front of the couch. Then she went to the restroom. She couldn't tell Levy herself, but Levy was naturally curious, she would open the folder. When she got back Levy was staring at her the folder opened and one paper slightly moved. "Lu, is this.. T-true?"

Lucy nodded as she sat back down and Levy hugged her with tears in both their eyes.

"Levy I need you to go with me to Onibus tomorrow, I have an appointment with a specialist and their going to do some tests before the appointment that won't allow me to drive."

"Sure Lu anything you need. When are you gonna tell Natsu?" She asked.

"After the appointment tomorrow," she answered.

"Lucy, you're one of the bravest people I know. You're going to make it out of this."

"I hope you're right Levy."

"I've got to go Lucy, I'll see you tomorrow." Levy said as she hugged Lucy then left.

[Later that day]

Lucy was in the kitchen, setting the table when she heard the door open. "Hey Luce! I'm home" Natsu called as he walked into the kitchen.

"Hey Natsu" she said.

"Mmmm, ranch chicken and mashed potatoes. It looks good." He said.

"Thanks Natsu" she said. Then she heard a knock on the door and she walked to the front door and opened it.

"Hi Laxus! Come on in!" said Lucy. So Laxus and his fiance Mira came in. Mira was holding Nash, who immediately reached for Lucy. She took him into her arms and walked into the kitchen, she set Nash in his high chair and walked over to the cabinet. She opened the cabinet and pulled out a jar of baby food, steamed carrots. Nash liked that one. She poured it into a bowl and sat down between Natsu and her son, on the other side of Nash was Laxus and beside him was Mira. They ate had a wonderful conversation, but soon two hours had passed. The dishes had been washed, Nash was dressed for bed. Lucy gave Nash a big kiss, so did Natsu and then Mira, Laxus, and Nash were gone.

"So Luce, did you hear from that doctor?" Natsu asked as he sat down beside her on the couch.

"Yes, I have an appointment at 3 pm tomorrow in Onibus." She said.

"ONIBUS! That's an hour away." He said.

"Yea Natsu, but didn't let me finish before my appointment, they want to do some tests. I'm scheduled to be at Onibus Regional Hospital at 1 pm. Levy is going to go with me because I won't be able to drive after the tests. Levy is going to pick me up at 11:30 tomorrow." she said.

"You know maybe I should go with you instead of Levy." He said.

She couldn't let him go then he would know. "No Natsu, I'm fine probably just got something minor that's unknown. Plus you can't drive a car." She giggled.

"Ok well I guess, me and Nash will spend the day together." Natsu said.

She smiled. She turned back towards the TV and Natsu reached up and pulled her close to him, then wrapped his arms around her. "I love you Lucy."

"I love you too Natsu." Then they kissed.
