Lucy sat on the bar waiting for Mira to return with her usual. Strawberry milkshake, she smiles as Natsu dropped next to her.
"Hey Luce!" He gave her his toothy smile as Mira returned.
"Here you go Lucy, Strawberries and Natsu, Saturday's Spicy Special well done."
"Thanks Mira," says Lucy picking up her cup while Natsu just digs into his food. Before taking a sip Lucy takes a deep breath of the fresh strawberry sent immediately regretting it. She places the drink in the counter. "Natsu, does this smell weird to you?" He continues eating giving Lucy a small glance. Then takes a sniff from afar. Then shakes his head.
"It smells just like it always has"
To this Lucy just shakes her head in anguish.
"Lucy are you ok? You don't look too well?"
"I'm fine, I've just been a little out of it for the last few days. I think its best if I go home"
"Oh Lucy let Natsu walk you home, Its the last thing he could do for all the wrecking he did on your last job," said Mira with evil intent on her eyes. Natsu only shrugged.
"Lets go Luce!" He smiled.
They walked in confortable silence. Natsu keeping it out of concern for her. Lucy, she was just scared.
"Hey, Natsu" she nearly stuttered.
"Yea Luce, what wrong?" he ask noticing her distress.
"Can we go to town doctor, there is a new clinic just a few streets away?"
"Sure Luce" Natsu scratched his head and turned left.
"Natsu"
"Yea Luce!"
"You are going the wrong way"
"At times like this I kind of miss Happy" said Lucy as they waited in line next to three others.
"I miss him so much, and it has only been two weeks"
"Wendy really outdid herself with this mission. Gosh I wish I could have gotten it"
"You would leave me for a year! Traitor" he whispered.
"Hey you would be my first plus 2"
"and then Happy"
"Traitor" they both whispered.
"Lucy-San" a young woman with a notepad walked out. Lucy raised her hand, "The first room to the right as soon as you go up the stairs" Lucy took a deep breath and walked inside the small building Natsu right behind her. There was only two rooms downstairs, if the hallway counted as a room. There was a small desk in the hallway with mountains of paperwork and the small lady with the notepad sat down on it. She crossed off Lucy's name and got back to work. The stairs were not stairs, it was just a small latter with a very small opening up not very practical for a clinic but there was no space in here for a real stairway. She climbed up and waited for Natsu behind her. Then they both entered the doctor's office.
"Miss Heartfilia please sit down" Looked at the old man who was cleaning his glasses. He put on his glasses with his trembling hands and his face lit up. "You are a Mage right?" He asked excitedly as both Lucy and Natsu nodded unsure of who he was talking to. "Perfect! Just perfect!" He said happily as he walked to a counter behind them and pulled out a box "I have this magic item that tell me right away what you have, but I am only allowed to use it on Mages and so far you are the first to come along. I've just been wanting to use this for so long." He smiled placing the box on his desk and sitting in his chair. He opened the box and took the item with both of his hands.
"A cristal ball?" whispered Lucy incredulous.
"Yea a cristal ball the must have of a clairvoyant and I might be a little rusty but once I was a Mage as well and this," he said dusting the ball "This was always my favorite item, its what inspired me to become a doctor, but I haven't used it in a while." The doctor had a melancholic look in his eyes as he hugged the item. The doctor placed it gently on a green pillow. "Place your hands on it girl and I will know it all." Lucy placed her hands and the doctor smiled. "Congratulations you are going to become parents!"
"Wait, I don't, I can't, who's the father." Lucy said. The doctor looked at her judgingly then at Natsu who just seemed frozen in place, the corners of his mouth twitching awkwardly as he struggled to speak.
"Lucy I, I have something I need to confess." Lucy turned in disbelief, Natsu continued as tears from her eyes hit the cristal ball. "Remmember the party after the Grand Magic games"
"Not much" Lucy thought to herself but just kept listening letting her heart break slowly.
"We went home together and, I think I am the father" The doctor just looked at the pair waiting for them to sort out what he had already seen.
"Well you think right. Congratulations and good luck." Natsu walked out first holding Lucy's hand, Carrying her down the stairs, and not letting go till they got home.
