I'm so happy with how chapter 1 turned out! So glad you liked it :)

WARNING: If I upset anyone in this chapter, I'm sorry. There will be a pun in this chapter only that may be inappropriate so I'm letting you know now. It's all in good fun, I promise. (side note: It's really not much of a pun since some people actually have this name so… I even know a few). This warning may be pointless but I'll leave it anyway.

NOTE: Gray will be a little OOC for a few chapters. But this is an AU, so yeah, he's not going to be his moody self. But that part will come, I'm already there in my writing so I promise. This won't last long! – Also! In this universe, the song Ice Ice Baby does not exist.

A week later Juvia had everything in place in Natsu and Lucy's second bedroom. Thankfully, she didn't have furniture of her own. And the room she was in was fully furnished for when Natsu's brother visited.

Juvia giggled, the room was pink. She knew Zeref just loved that.

Juvia was sitting at the desk in a cushy white office chair. Her feet were bare and her freshly painted toes were curled in the soft white carpet. She was super comfortable in her navy sleep shirt with Eeyore on the front. Bora hated it, so she had slept in it every night since she left. She didn't realize the relief that was off her shoulders now that she was "single".

She hummed a nursery rhyme as she turned to a new page in her brand new diary. She was going to make it her pregnancy journal and write down everything! From how big the baby was (according to the book) to what made her sick that day.

The only downside to everything was her job. She was the head baker at "Sweet, Sassy, and Classy" bakery. The sweet aroma made her queasy.

The promotion she was waiting on would put her in the position as head decorator. She still had a few more weeks before she heard the final verdict.

A knock on the bedroom door ruined her little doodle of a nursery design.

"You awake, Juvia?" Lucy asked.

"Yes!" Juvia pushed the chair away from the desk and stood. She was slipping on her house slippers when her blonde house mate opened the door with a big smile.

"Morning. Natsu is making breakfast. Should be ready soon."

"Alright," one of the biggest shocks Juvia had was learning that Natsu cooked. Granted he was limited to breakfast and pasta, but he was actually really good.

"Oh, and I hope you don't mind, but we're having a guest for dinner."

"Oh?" Lucy and Juvia walked down the hall to the living room, "who is it?"

"A friend of Natsu's. They've been friends since they were born but he went to college up North and is finally moving back home," Lucy plopped down onto the cushy love seat, "I've never met him."

"Oh good," Juvia sat more gracefully onto the couch, laughing, "Juvia will not be the only awkward one."

Lucy snickered, "Hey, Natsu? What's his name? You never told me."

"Gay Fullbuster."

The girls blinked, the Juvia asked, "His name is… Gay?"

"Yepp," Natsu his head over the bar, "his parents wanted a girl so they named him that, my guess is so maybe he'll like boys or something. Didn't work though."

"Odd," Lucy shrugged, lots of people had that name. The reason was questionable though.

Neither woman saw or heard Natsu laugh so hard he was wheezing.

"Anyway, we'll go grocery shopping while Natsu cleans the house. Maybe look at some baby stuff?" stars appeared in Lucy's dark eyes, practically begging.

"We can look," Juvia held up a finger, "but Juvia wants to wait a while before buying anything. I want to find my own place first."

"Understandable," Lucy sighed dreamily, "I can't wait to have a baby."

Juvia smirked, "You can have Juvia's morning sickness if you'd like."

"Ha! No thanks!" Lucy wrinkled her nose.

"Food's ready!"

The girls slowly made their way to the kitchen to enjoy the pleasant Sunday morning with friends. Completely unaware of the storm brewing.

"Oh, how cute!" Lucy held up a little onesie that said 'Mommy's All-Star', it looked like a baseball jersey.

"Aww," Juvia took it from her, it was a 0-3 months onesie and felt so tiny in her hands.

"Did the doctor tell you how far along you were?"

Juvia should be 5 weeks now," Juvia tucked the little outfit under her arm, but then her eye caught something she really wanted.

"That's good. And you'll find out if it's a boy or girl around the 20th week. I'm so excited!" Lucy laughed at herself, "And it's not even mine."

"Lucy will be the baby's aunt," she picked up the blue blanket that was perfectly soft for a newborn, "along with everyone else. You already have so many aunts and uncles to love you, don't you?"

Juvia patted her belly, she couldn't wait to start showing.

Lucy adjusted the straps of her light pink summer dress, not appreciating how much cleavage it was showing off. She should have brought a sweater, "What are you going to do about Bora?"

Juvia hugged the blanket, her soft blue curls bounced as she turned back to Lucy. She too was in a light summer dress, spring was starting to show up nicely this March.

She had spent the last week thinking about Bora and the baby, and she had come to final decision.

"Juvia has decided to allow Bora to be a father if he wants, Juvia will write him a letter telling him what he can do if he does. If he does not want to, Juvia will not list him as the father."

Lucy's eyes widened, "But… you won't be able to get child support if you do that."

"Juvia knows. Bora never wanted children and Juvia knew that," she held the blanket out for Lucy to see, "so the baby will never know Bora. Juvia will explain later, but until then Juvia is the only parent my baby needs."

Lucy fondly ran her fingers over the blanket, smiling at all the snowflakes and the words 'Ice Ice Baby' on it. How fitting, the baby would be born in winter after all.

"You're so selfless, you're a great person, Juvia," Lucy grinned at her friend, "and already a great mom."

Juvia blushed, unprepared for such a compliment, "Thank you."

"OK, well we need to get the groceries. And a few more things," Lucy led Juvia to the other side of Walmart, "Natsu conveniently forgot to tell me his friend would be staying with us for a few days.

"Oh," Juvia would have to remind herself to wear a bra to bed, "it is a good thing Natsu and Lucy live in a 3-bedroom house."

Lucy had inherited a nice home from her grandmother, Anna. She passed away right after Lucy graduated high school. Lucy moved in before she started college, Levy came to live with her once school started when she realized her roommate liked to drink every day and not clean up afterwards.

Lucy and Levy were in the same writing classes and once Levy said she needed a new place to live, Lucy immediately begged the bookworm to stay in the large house with her.

Erza stayed with them for the whole second semester, the moved in with Jellal during the summer. That's where Natsu came in. The girls decided it was OK. He was their friend and it would feel safer with a guy around. They never counted on Natsu and Lucy falling in love.

So, soon after Christmas that year, Natsu moved all his stuff to Lucy's room (without her knowing it. He stayed in her room pretty much every night since he moved in that she never would have noticed until a month passed and she went in his room to put away laundry and it was empty) and the room remained a guest room. Someone was staying there every weekend. Levy went to live with Gajeel after graduation, and now Juvia was in Levy's old room. Gay would stay in Natsu's old room.

Lucy pushed the shopping cart to the dairy section. Knowing them, they would probably laugh whenever his name was said. It wasn't funny, but at the same time it was.

Getting the groceries didn't take long, or it shouldn't have if they didn't stop down every isle to look at new products and then go back a few because they forgot something. Then Lucy had to get laundry detergent and cat food. A trip that should have only been 30-45 minutes turned into almost 3 hours.

"Geez, you guys get lost?" Natsu asked, they were finally home and out of the car.

"No," Lucy giggled, "just distracted… like you are. Quit staring!"

"They're right there!" Natsu whined when Lucy smacked him, he was gesturing wildly to her exposed chest.

Juvia stopped grabbing bags to look at her own chest. It was covered well, but like Lucy she was blessed in this area. And now she was pregnant. Did that mean they would get even bigger?!

"Just help up, dork!" Lucy walked to the trunk to get a few bags, "you just going to let a pregnant woman and the one you love do all the work?"

"What… No! Both of you, go! Start cooking!" he pushed Juvia away and took the bags from her, "I'll get all this. Gra- uh, I mean Fullbuster will be here soon."

"You call him by his last name?" Juvia asked, she didn't catch what he said but figured it was nothing.

"Nah. I call him Ice Princess."

"Wait… I've seen that name in your phone, "Lucy gasped, "You told me you hated him!"

The three walked inside and headed to the kitchen.

"I do. But I'd kill for him too," Natsu grinned, putting all the bags on the table, "he's like my brother."

Juvia was washing her hands next to Lucy when she heard the girl sigh, "Please don't tell me he's actually like your brother."

"No way," Natsu snorted, his feet already taking him back to the car, "he's cool. Literally."

Juvia stopped drying her hands to ask, "He's literally cool?"

"I wouldn't even ask."

It didn't take long for dinner to get started once the groceries were put away. Lucy double checked the house while Juvia made the burger patties they were going to grill, 'accidentally' dropping some on the floor that Happy gobbled up.

Finally, 6 o'clock rolled around. And so did Natsu's friend.

Lucy had changed into a jean skirt and a cute yellow tank top. Natsu wore his scaly scarf with camo board shorts and his high school baseball shirt, Lucy had given up getting him into anything nicer. Or that matched.

From the couch, Juvia watched Natsu slip on his sandals and cackle as he ran out the door.

"He's such a child," Lucy shook her head, it wasn't worth making him change. She loved him as he was, it made life more fun.

Juvia knew Lucy complained a lot about him, but actually found it really cute.

She looked at herself and hoped she was presentable. She was in a green floor length flowy summer skirt with a white crop top that stopped right above her belly button. Lucy convinced her to wear it, mentioning that it may be one of the last times she would be able to. Plus, Natsu's friend could be cute.

Juvia was not prepared for how cute he would be.

Natsu walked in carrying a bag, laughing when he did. Next came in a man that made Juvia weak in the knees, and she was sitting down.

His skin was pale, but not as pale as her. He had dark hair with a blueish tint to it. It was long and thick, it covered part of his face, but not his onyx eyes. He was wearing a black shirt with a white jacket over it. Then lower he had on dark, acid-washed jeans, a hold in the left knee showing a bit of his muscled leg and lastly, his outfit ended with a pair of flip flops.

Juvia felt her face burn when her eyes went back to his face. He was gorgeous.

"Oh hey, dude, this is Juvia. She's living with me and my girlfriend for a while. Had uh…" Natsu blinked, he wasn't sure Juvia wanted a complete stranger to know all her business, "she had a bad break up. Staying her 'til she gets her own place."

"Hi," he smiled in Juvia's direction, "nice to meet you."

He took off his coat and placed it on top of his bag, his shirt was skin tight. Juvia felt the blush travel farther down her neck, "H-hello."

"Lucy!"

The blonde came into the living room, smiling at their guest, "Hi."

"This is my girlfriend, Lucy," Natsu proudly told his oldest friend.

The dark-haired male smiled but then he gaped when she got closer. His face went back and forth from Lucy and Natsu and back forth again before glaring at Natsu, "How much are you paying her? She's too hot for you."

Juvia deflated. Of course he would think Lucy is hot. Everyone does. She stood to move closer to the group.

Natsu put his friend quickly into a head lock, "Don't look at her like that! I ain't paying her! She actually likes me! She even had to ask me if I wanted to sleep with her!"

"Natsu!" Lucy covered her face, why oh why did she fall in love with such a man.

"Lucy was desperate?" Juvia asked.

"I asked him if he wanted to sleep in my room with me. Not that kind of sleep."

"Get off me!" He threw Natsu off with ease, "Fine, I can believe it if she likes you. I was kidding," he turned to Lucy, "didn't mean to insult you or anything."

"You didn't," Lucy was still blushing, "it's nice to finally meet you, Gay."

"Huh?" he raised an eyebrow, "What did you call me?"

Juvia panicked, her eyes going to Lucy who was also not sure what to say. Juvia glanced at Natsu who was hiding in his scarf.

"Um… Gay? That's your name… right?"

"No, it's not," he coughed, "It's Gray. Gray Fullbuster."

Lucy was slack jawed, both her and Juvia were burning red.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I didn't know! Natsu told us- "

"Nooooo!" Natsu ran to the kitchen and a moment later the backdoor slammed.

Gray popped his knuckles, "Excuse me. I have a pinky to fry," Gray scooted past the women and ran after him, "How many times have I told you to stop doing that!"

Lucy and Juvia watched them go, their faces stunned.

"That idiot," Lucy huffed, realizing her boyfriend played them with an, apparently, over used joke.

Juvia placed a hand over her heart, wishing it would stop pacing. Why was it so fast? She hadn't acted this way in years. Bora never made her heart race like so.

The road in her journey had just turned to solid ice.

I realized half-way through this that I had a teacher in high school with the first name Gaye. So I felt really dumb after that! This chapter would have been longer but I cut out a whole part of Lucy and Juvia talking about baby names, haha.

So hoped you like it! See you next Sunday!
