Chapter two: the confrontation
"Juvia?!" everyone cried, seeing Juvia hug Gajeel. Juvia ignored them focusing on the iron dragon slayer. "Juvia is sorry if she hurt you with her sudden departure, but Juvia thought it was for the best to protect her baby "she said. Tears began to roll down Juvia's pale face.
Gajeel sighed and turned fully to face the water mage. "You should have let me know, why make Kits keep it a secret?" he asked quietly. By this time a crowd had gathered around them, all hoping to hear the reason why she didn't want anyone to know. "Juvia knew you would have been mad, she knew you would have gone on a rampage" Juvia said, letting go of Gajeel.
Gajeel growled low in his throat. "You didn't think I would have been angrier when I just suddenly found you gone?" he asked. Juvia remained silent. Of course she knew he would have been angry but it was her decision.
"Juvia is sorry" she said quietly, looking at the ground. Tears fell to the floor. "Mommy? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Juvia heard Amelia ask. Gajeel turned around to see Kitsuna holding onto a little girl who looked exactly like Juvia.
"So that's your daughter?" he asked, looking back towards Juvia. Juvia nodded still not looking up. "You meanie head why did you make mommy cry!" Amelia yelled from behind Gajeel. Gajeel sighed and patted Juvia's head. "I'm still mad, But at least you came back" he said, giving Juvia a smile when she looked up.
Juvia smiled back at him then turned towards her daughter, who was fighting to get out of Kitsuna's grasp. "It's okay Kits you can let her go" she said. Kitsuna nodded and let go of the little girl, watching her run to her mom. Juvia bent down and held her arms out for the three year old. "Mama wants you to meet someone "she said picking her daughter up.
"Amelia this is mama's other best friend Gajeel, can you say hi to uncle Gajeel?" Juvia asked, looking at her daughter. Amelia stared at Gajeel for a minute or two, and then smiled. "Hi uncle Gajeel" she said. Gajeel's eyes widened a bit but then he smiled.
"Hey squirt" he said ruffling the little girls head. The little girl huffed in protest. "No don't pull an Uncle Lyon!" she cried, putting her hands over her head. "Hey, what do you mean "Don't pull an Uncle Lyon"?" Lyon asked, coming to stand next to Gajeel.
Juvia giggled and put Amelia down. "Amelia, mama is going to sit down, do you want to play with Uncle Lyon outside?" she asked, looking at her daughter. Amelia nodded and looked at her uncle. Lyon smiled and picked the little girl up, going outside.
Juvia smiled and watched Lyon leave with her daughter, then turned to Makarov. "We'll finish talking later" he said, smiling and going back to his office. Juvia nodded and sat at the bar. She could feel everyone's eyes on her. "I can already guess who your daughters daddy is" Mirajane said, smiling at Juvia. Juvia gave her a small smile.
"May Juvia have a drink please?" she asked. Mirajane nodded and got Juvia a drink. "So explain" Gajeel said, sitting next to Juvia. Kitsuna sat on the other side of her. Juvia looked at him and shook her head. "Juvia knows everyone has figured out who Amelia's father is but please don't ask Juvia any questions about it" Juvia said.
"Okay Juvia, but don't you think they should know the truth?" Kitsuna asked, leaning on her hands. Before Juvia could answer the guild doors flew open and Natsu and his team walked in. "Hey everyone we're back" Natsu called, grinning as usual. Lucy stood next to him shook her head.
"Why is everyone so silent? And gathered by the bar?" Lucy asked. Everyone moved out of the way to show Juvia with a frightened look on her face. She knew she had to face him eventually but now was not the right time. She didn't think she could handle it.
"Juvia!" Lucy, Wendy, and Erza cried, running to Juvia and hugging her. Juvia froze in shock. "H-Hi Lucy, Wendy, Erza..."she said, hugging the three girls back as best she could. She was shocked because she never really was close to these three, but then she remembered that this was Fairy Tail and everyone was family no matter what.
Lucy giggled. "What no love rival?" she asked, letting go and looking Juvia in the eyes. Juvia looked back and shook her head. "Four years has taught Juvia that you are not love rival" she said.
Lucy looked at her confused. "Juvia, you have to tell us why you left" Erza said, staring at Juvia. Juvia looked at her with wide eyes and saw Gray, Natsu and Happy behind her. Kitsuna was about to open her mouth to say something but stopped when she saw Lyon come in with a sleeping Amelia. "Did I come in at the wrong time?" Lyon asked.
Everyone turned around with wide eyes. Gray looked the most surprised though. "Oh Lyon! Are you here with Juvia?" Wendy asked. Lyon nodded and shifted Amelia in his arms. "So who is the little girl" Natsu asked.
Juvia sighed and stood up. "She would be Juvia's daughter Amelia" She said taking Amelia from Lyon. "What?!" Team Natsu asked in shock. Juvia was a little taken a back from hearing Gray's voice.
Lyon sighed and put a hand on Juvia's shoulder. "Why don't you take Amelia home" he said, not taking his eyes off Gray. Juvia nodded and turned towards the girls surrounding her. "Juvia moved back into Fairy hills" she said, smiling at the girls.
Kitsuna smiled at Juvia. "Well let's go!" she said. Juvia looked at Kitsuna confused. "Well we have some catching up to do, so we are all going with" Erza said smiling. Juvia stared at the girls. Lucy, Levy, Cana, Wendy, Mirajane, Erza, Kitsuna, and Lisanna all smiled at her.
Juvia slowly smile and nodded."We'll be back later" she said. Kitsuna grinned and started pushing Juvia towards the doors. She knew Juvia was probably uncomfortable being around Gray. Gajeel nodded and shooed the girls away.
Once all the girls were gone Gray turned to Lyon. "Aren't you staying too?" he asked. Lyon looked at Gray surprised. "I have my own family to get back to" he said. "But isn't she your daughter too?" Gray asked. "Of course not, Juvia was already pregnant when I brought her to Lamia Scale" Lyon said.
"Just because she was pregnant when you brought her doesn't mean you couldn't have gotten her pregnant beforehand" Gray said. Lyon shook his head. "Amelia isn't my child she is…" Lyon cut off and shook his head one more time. "Anyway I need to get going, I want to be home by tomorrow" he said, walking towards the doors.
Gray grabbed his shoulder. "She is what, Lyon?" he asked. Lyon glanced at the other ice mage. "I can't tell you" he said. Gray growled and put more pressure on Lyon's shoulder. "Why the hell not?" he asked, raising his voice slightly.
"Maybe because she didn't want you to know Gray" Lyon said, turning to face Gray. Gray stared at Lyon surprised. Why wouldn't Juvia want him to know? Gray didn't understand. "Why do you even care, you were the one always saying she wouldn't leave you alone" Gajeel said, standing up.
He was getting tired of the damn strippers yelling. Gray looked at Gajeel but remained silent. "Well I'll be leaving now; you guys can settle this yourselves. Tell Juvia I'll see her again" Lyon said, leaving the guild. Gray didn't seem to have heard him.
"Don't you want to know who the father is?" he asked, still looking at Gajeel. "I already know who it is" Gajeel said, folding his arms over his chest. "Who is it?" Natsu asked, looking at Gajeel also. The iron dragon slayer looked at him like he was stupid and shook his head. "If Juvia wanted people to know then she would have said who the father was" he said.
~Fairy hills~
"So Juvia, let's hear the story" Cana said, when they got to Juvia's new room. Juvia sighed, tucking her daughter in. "It's a long story and there are some things Juvia wishes to leave out" Juvia said, turning towards her friends. All of the girls nodded in agreement. Juvia led the out of her daughters' room so that they didn't disturb her sleep.
Sighing again Juvia sat on the floor. She had to remember to go shopping for something's for the room. "First of all Juvia is sorry for leaving and putting so much on you Kits" she said. Kitsuna shook her head. "Why did you leave?" Lucy asked.
Juvia looked at Lucy and gave her a small smile. "Because Juvia was pregnant, she knew it would be dangerous because of how rowdy the guild is and because of all the job requests that Juvia would have had to take to earn money" she said. Everyone nodded in understanding. "Well when Juvia left she didn't know where she was going to go, she had no family or hometown, so Juvia just wondered for a while until she ran into Lyon while he was out on a job" Juvia said.
The girls looked at Juvia as if telling her to go on. "Well Juvia told him about her condition and he took Juvia to his guild. Everyone was very nice to Juvia, Juvia actually lived with Sherry for a while and helped around the guild, it was actually Ooba who helped me with Amelia's birth" Juvia said, smiling. The girls looked at her in awe. "But Juvia why didn't you tell anyone about Amelia's father" Wendy asked, tilting her head to the side slightly. Juvia frowned a little.
"Juvia…Juvia was scared about what he would think, she thought it best for him not to know" she said. Kitsuna gave Juvia a sympathizing look. "Juvia will be right back, she is going to check on Amelia" Juvia said, standing up and going to her daughters' room.
Juvia opened the door and found Amelia's room empty. "Amelia!" she cried, running into the room. "What's wrong?" Kitsuna asked, coming into the room with all the girls. They gasped in shock when they didn't see the three year old.
Juvia was frantic, her daughter was missing and she didn't know where she had gone. "Amelia!" she cried again, running out of fairy hills. "Juvia wait!" Kitsuna yelled, running after her best friend. All the girls ran after the two best friends, calling for Amelia
~Fairy Tail~
Gray sighed and took a sip of his water. Something had been bugging him for a while now and he didn't know why. "Man it's so boring!" Natsu whined, banging his head on the bar. "Stop complaining fire-brain" Gray said, turning to the fire dragon slayer. Natsu growled and turned to Gray, holding his fist up. "You want to go ice-princess?" he challenged, just say the guild doors opened.
All the men turned around to see Juvia looking terrified. "Oi Juvia, what's wrong?" Gajeel asked, looking at the scared water mage. "Amelia is gone" she said, tears running down her face. Almost all at once the guys got up.
"Boys we have a little girl to find!" Makarov said, standing on the railing. The men nodded and ran out of the guild. Juvia was about to follow when someone grabbed her shoulder. "We'll find her Juvia" she heard Gray say. Juvia froze a little but nodded. He was the last person she expected to tell her that.
"Juvia knows" she said, looking at Gray. Gray smiled at her and left the guild. Juvia followed him, calling for her daughter. "Amelia!" Everyone called all over town.
~Amelia~
Amelia ran as fast as she could, looking around. She had woken up and heard her mom talking to her friends about her dad. She wanted to know who he was so she snuck out the window. Amelia stopped by the river bank and sat down, burying her head in her knees.
"Amelia!" a soft voice called from behind her. Amelia shot her head up and looked behind her to see her mom and a man she didn't know. "Mommy!" she cried, running to Juvia. Juvia bent down and hugged her daughter.
"Don't ever disappear like that again, Juvia was so worried" she said Amelia sniffed and nodded. "I'm sorry mommy. I just wanted to know who my daddy was" she said Juvia stiffened up. "Oh baby girl, mama will tell you about him one day" she said, picking her daughter up. Amelia nodded although a little confused.
"Juvia! Gray! Did you find her?" Kitsuna called from behind them. Juvia turned around and nodded. "Yeah we found her" Gray said. Kitsuna smiled when she saw the three year old in Juvia's arms. "What a relief, come on there is a surprise waiting for you back at the guild" she said. Juvia smiled and nodded. "Mommy's going to introduce you to her family" she said. Amelia smiled as they walked back to the guild but didn't take her eyes off the shirtless man.
Juvia looked at Amelia and saw her staring at Gray. "Amelia this is Gray. He is a part of Mama's family. Can you say hi to Uncle Gray?" she said, smiling a little. Amelia kept staring at Gray. "Hi Uncle Gray" she said, slowly.
She didn't like the way it sounded but shrugged it off. "Hey there" Gray said. He didn't know why but he did not want to be called Uncle by Juvia's daughter. "Your Mama is so mean she kept you all to herself for four years" Kitsuna said, butting into the conversation. Juvia flinched a little at Kitsuna's words.
"Juvia said sorry" she said, giggling. Amelia looked at her Aunt Kits then looked at her mom and giggled. "You guys are funny!" she said. Gray watched the three girls interact and smiled a little. "Oh shoot! Come on we have to hurry and get to the guild!" Kitsuna said, grabbing Juvia's free hand and running. Gray shook his head at Kitsuna's childishness and ran after them.
