Chapter 2

" Three? I asked, running to him."

I love you." he said and disappeared to the next dimension.

She sat down on the spot he had disappeared, thinking about what he said. Three? What does he mean by that? Shaking her head, she got up, turned around, and headed home

She opened the door and threw her keys on the floor, exhausted. Walking to her desk, she found a velvet box and a letter with her name on it. who could it be from? Sitting down, she opened the letter and began to read.

Dear Lucy,

If you are reading this now, I will be far, far, far,far,far,far, FAR away. In the next dimension, actually, But you know it's for a good cause. I've been working real hard on my handwriting and spelling, just to impress you. Did ya notice that? I've spelled almost everything right! Anyways, I need to ask a favor of you, and this is important. If anyone asks, tell them the truth. And don't let them come searching for me, they won't find a trace. I'll come on my own time. Tell Gramps to stay alive. Tell Erza to lay off on Gray and Gajeel . Tell them that they have to protect you. And I'm not telling you to sit and mope. I want you to become stronger. We'll need all the help we can get. That means training them if I'm gone that long. Tell Happy and Charle congratulations. I knew she smelled diffurent. Tell Juvia and droopy eyes that I want to be the godfather of their kid if he can produce any. Everyone needs to get stronger and I need you to help them do that. And remember: when I come back, I will make you the happiest woman alive. Believe me. I hope you miss me!

Love your dear fiancé and friend,

Natsu " Salamander" Dragneel

P.S. Do you now what's in the box?

By the time she was finished the letter, her eyes were tearing up and her lip was trembling. Oh, Natsu, why did you have to leave? Blinking the tears away, she stretched her arms and walked to her bed. " this has to be a bad dream," she muttered to herself. " Yeah, when I wake up he'll be by my side and I'll yell at him and it'll all be a dream." As she snuggled into bed, she awaited the sleep that would answer her questions.

The next day

Lucy woke up to the sun shining and the birds singing. But there was no pink haired dragon slayer next to her. Her heart pained at the sight.

She sighed, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She looked at he bed and noticed the difference in the bed sheets. Half of it was messed up and half of it was made up. Natsu's side, she thought.

I always needed time on my own

I never thought I'd

need you there when I cry

And the days feel like years when I'm alone

And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

When you walk away I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?

Getting out of bed she walked to the bathroom to get ready for the mission she was about to go on with Erza and Gray. On her way to the bathroom, she tripped on something soft. She turned around to see a small bundle of clothes.. What the heck? Picking up the bundle, she opened it up to find a pair of Natsu's clothes. I wonder… she thought. Taking the clothes to her face, she took a whiff of them. They smell just like him. Burying her face in his vest, she took in more of his smell. If he was here, he would think I was weird. But she didn't care. She spent a whole fifteen minutes Just sitting there and smelling and hugging his clothes.

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missing you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missing too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear to always get me through

The day and make it ok

I miss you

I've never felt this way before

Everything that I do

reminds me of you

And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor

And they smell just like you,

I love the things that you do

She smiled thinking about how he would always say she smelled good. He had loved her scent and he wasn't ashamed of saying so. But her little ray of sunshine slowly turned back into a gray day. Ugh… Natsu, did you really have to go? How are we gonna do this mission? We didn't plan for this. Sighing, she continued back to her plan. Walking to her bathroom, she got ready and searched

To find that the was nothing in her closet than sweatpants and a few t-shirts that belonged to Natsu. She knew they were going on that mission for a week and Natsu had made her pack everything and anything at all to make sure she was safe. She didn't feel like taking her clothes out so she randomly picked a shirt and changed..

SLAM!

" HOLY SHISH KEBAB!" she yelled as the box fell on her foot. " What the Taj Mahal was that?"** Bending down, she opened the wooden box to find another letter, this time shorter.

To Lucy Heartfilla:

Enclosed in this box are a year's worth of rent, 400,00 jewel, and a membership to Sweet Things. I hope you enjoy your pregnancy.

Love,

You now* who

Lucy giggled after reading the letter. Oh Natsu, you're one of a kind. She sifted through the box and found everything there was in the letter. She remembered how thoughtful he could be, especially if he tried.

LA LA LALALA LALA LA LA LALA LALA LA LA

" Moshi-Moshi!"

" Lucy, where are you? WE have a mission remember?"

" Shish kebab! I didn't even eat breakfast yet!"

" Well you can eat it at the guild, hurry up!" Ezra's voice screamed through the phone.

" Ok, be there in a bit."

Rolling her eyes, Lucy grabbed her suitcase and began walking to the guild.

" Hey has anyone seen Natsu?" Levy asked, out of nowhere.

" No, " Mirajane said, turning around, "Not since yesterday I haven't."

" He and Lucy probably stayed the day in, " Cana joked.

" Yeah but don't they have a mission?"

" Yeah," Levy said, " Natsu kept on pestering me to go with them."

" Yeah, I remember that. But isn't it suspicious that Lucy isn't here?"

" Lucy said she's coming soon, I just talked to her," Erza answered.

" Oi, has anyone seen slanty-eyes?" Gray commented.

At that moment, Lucy came in to the guild carrying her suitcase. Her eyes were bloodshot and her hair was in a rushed bun.

" Lucy, are you feeling okay? You look like a train wreck." Levy commented.

" No, I just had a bad night's sleep."Out of nowhere, Gajeel started sniffing Lucy, " Why do you smell like flame-head?"

"It's cuz it's his shirt I'm wearing." Lucy retorted. " You know that I Love Lucy shirt he bought while we were at a I love Lucy convention."

" Which Lucy are you talking about."

" That show."

" OOOOOOOHHHHHH."

" Anyways, Mirajane, can you keep an eye on this, I need to talk to Master."

" Sure."

As she walked away, the small crowd around the bar quieted down.

" There's something wrong," Cana remarked.

" She still smells weird."

" GAJEEL! Why such vulgar words?" Levy yelled.

" How is that vulgar?"

" It just is."

" But she just smells weird, like pinky, but more of her."

" he was with her last night you know."

" Did you guys follow her?" Mirajane asked

" I did," a voice said

" Bisca!" they shouted.

" You're never around."

" I always am you guys are always busy with match making."

" And you're always busy with Alzack."

At the mention of his name, the greenette blushed. " Ew, Bisca, don't blush it clashes with you're hair." Levy complained.

" You got a problem with that?" Bisca retorted taking out a giant revolver.

" Ah, no, I'm fine I don't want to get assassinated."

" Anyways i didn't hear a thing."

" WHAAAT!" the rest of them yelled

" Oh you guys," Erza mumbled.

In the Master's office.

" So you mean to tell me that Natsu is gone and this is the letter he left you?"

" Lucy nodded unable to speak, for she had been crying for the past 15 minutes. " And that he told you his objectives yesterday night at the park."

"Y-Yes," Lucy said.

" And that your with child?" At that moment, she busted into tears. CRASH!

"L-L-Lucy," a voice said, " Is this true?"

Lucy whipped her head to see Cana standing there, and her beer mug broken into pieces.

" Oh, no." Cana took a seat next to Lucy and took her hand, " You have to tell me this is a lie."

" It's not," Makarov said, handing Cana the letter, " Natsu is really gone."

As her eyes skimmed the letter she felt a pang in her heart. A tear escaped from her eye but she quickly brushed it away. No, I can't cry now. Lucy's in much more pain than me. She's getting the worst of it. " Lucy-"

" Cana, can you come down to the guild with me?"

" sure, just let me pick up the remnants of my mug."

" Oh, I'm so sorry-"

" it's okay, I can get another one."

After the mess was cleaned the two went down the stairs and headed to the middle of the guild.

" hey," Cana said. The guild members continued on " HEY!" they still continued." HEY! DO YOU GUYS EVER SHUT UP?"

Complete utter silence.

" Thank you. Now Lucy has an announcement to make." before she could let Lucy start, she went to run off to Macao.

" Thanks Cana, I guess. Well you guys know that Natsu hasn't been here today and it's weird."

" Yeah where is he?" Laxus shouted." Um, it's hard for me to say this but," Her eyes started to well up as she tried to continue"- he's not coming back. Natsu's g-g-g-gone."

When you walk away

I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?

" What do ya mean he's gone." Gray asked.

" Well he left me this letter a-and-" taking a deep breath, Lucy fought back the sobs, " It says he's training with Igneel. He says there's a big battle coming up in three years or so and he wants to protect me and-" At that moment she let everything out. The sobs came fiercer than ever, she looked like someone who would collapse within any second. And if anyone came in and saw her crying, they would know they were not tears of joy but of pure sadness.

" Lu-chan," Levy called, running up to her. Whispering in her ear, levy nodded as she understood was the blonde was saying in between her sobs. Taking the letter in her hands she opened it up and began to read.

As the letter was read, tears were shared throughout the guild Cana cried into Macao's chest while Lucy continued her endless sobs. Before their eyes, Happy flew out of the guild in search for Natsu.

In time, the cries diminished. Lucy calmed down and Gildartz was scolding Macao. Sniffling, Lucy got up and faced t he crowd, " I also have another announcement."

" Don't tell me: Happy is dead?"

"Shut up Wakaba!"

" Umm, no. What I wanted to stay is that I'm ….I'm…."" Lu-chan, you don't need to say it if you don't want to."

" No, I want to say this, Guys, I'm pregnant."

A pregnant silence filled the guild.

When you're goneThe pieces of my heart are missing youAnd when you're goneThe face I came to know is missing too

" What?"

Gray ran up to her fuming, " How could he leave you like this."

" Who's the father?"

" Who else!"" Leaving a woman pregnant is not manly!"

"For once, I agree with you, Elf-nii"

" I knew she smelled weird!"

"Gajeel!""Lucy is not a love rival anymore."

"C'mon, Lucy, it's okay. He'll come back." Cana said, surprisingly, " In the meantime, lets get you some food to eat. You must be starving."

" Yeah, we'll always take care of you," Erza said smiling.

' yeah!"

" How did this happen, " Gray muttered, " Natsu's a real man?" Yeah, Lucy thought, Natsu how did this happen?

And when you're gone

The words I need to hear to always get me through

The day and make it ok

I miss you

AN: SO I hope you guys liked it plz R&R.
