"Leave me alone," Laxus said, for what must have been the thousandth time. I was sitting in the seat across from him, staring out the window as if Bickslow wasn't making all kinds of terrible jokes about what happened between me and Laxus. I was hoping that when Bickslow got bored with pestering Laxus, he would just forget about me. Bickslow isn't like that though. And I shouldn't have been stupid enough to even hope for him to forget about me.

"How about you then, Freed?" He turned to me, his babies echoing him, "You wanna tell me all the dirty things you and Laxus did?" I started to stand up, to face him, but I knew I couldn't let him get to me. It was obvious that he was just trying to make us mad. We were such good friends, that I should be used to his antics. Ever was getting a kick out of it too. Bickslow started saying extremely inappropriate things that he thought Laxus and I did, some of which I didn't even know what meant, so it's probably best to not include them. I am absolutely positive my face was as red as it could get though.

"Honestly, I was too drunk to remember," I answered truthfully, fed up with his extremely descriptive lies, "I'm not even sure anything did happen," it's technically the truth as well. Even if it is almost a lie. I don't have any memory of what happened.

"Well, even if you aren't sure something happened, I am. Telling him you love him and you never want to be without him, then kissing him in front of the entire guild counts as something. And you only had a few drinks too. I knew there was a reason you would never go drinking with me." Bickslow kept on teasing me, relentlessly.

"He was probably scared he would tell you that he loved you," oh great. Now Ever had decided to do more than laugh. It was so tempting to tease her about Elfman, but I didn't want to stoop to their level.

"I would appreciate it if you stopped," my words were spoken confidently, but my face was burning red with embarrassment.

"Aww, look, we embarrassed him. Maybe we should stop. He'd appreciate it." Bickslow was cracking up over everything I said.

"I am not embarrassed," I even lie every one in a while "I would rather not talk about this though." My words meant nothing if my body wouldn't control itself, my face got redder as I thought of me and Laxus. I zoned out, thinking of waking up with Laxus, and all of the things we have done, just us. I guess thinking of seeing Laxus naked almost gave Bickslow all the more reason to tease me. Thank god for my loose pants. Usually my jacket is long enough to go down to my knees even when I'm sitting, but this one wasn't quite as long. I looked over at Laxus, who was angrily staring out the window, he glanced over ate Bickslow every once in a while, but looked angrier afterwards.

"Hey, Freed. Freeeeed? Are you there?" Bickslow waved his hands in my face.

"I think you sent him into shock," Evergreen was laughing harder than before.

Even though she was joking it made me mad that she thought I could be sent into shock from mere teasing. "I am not in shock! I was just thinking."

"About you and Laxus," Bickslow tacked onto the end of what I said. With that, I gave up and started staring out the window, like Laxus.


"Freed. Come on. Wake up," I blinked my eyes open at Laxus's shouting. I didn't even remember falling asleep. I got up groggily and walked off the train.

This job should be easy considering Bickslow, Evergreen, and I have taken down entire dark guilds by ourselves. After checking in with the person who requested help, We walked towards the forest which is said to be the hiding place of the dark mages to look for them. Instead of having to search for them, however, they found us when Laxus snapped and started yelling at Bickslow and Evergreen. They decided to attack us at the moment our group was the weakest. Or rather decided to attack me. There was a bright flash of light and a magic that I had never seen before engulfed me. It didn't seem to affect me at first, but after about ten seconds I felt a blinding pain in my stomach causing me to double over.

Ever turned The attacking mage was to stone, so the spell should have stopped. The pain, however grew, and so did the light from the spell surrounding me. The pain grew and grew until I could hardly see straight. And then, suddenly stopped, in a split second. The light around me disappeared suddenly and I fell to the ground. I had no clue what kind of magic could knock me out so fast. I could even stand my ground against Gildarts for a few minutes. I heard shouting around me. The last thing I saw before I blacked out was Laxus and Bickslow rushing up to me.


"Hey, I think he's finally coming to," a voice, I think it was Evergreen, shouted.

"Man, he freaked me out for a while, I was scared he wouldn't wake up," another voice, which definitely belonged to Bickslow replied.

"How are you feeling?" The most comforting voice of all asked. I opened my eyes when I heard Laxus's voice, but I felt the all too familiar sensation of nausea, which kind of ruined it.

"Sick," was all I could manage to say and still hold it in.

"Here's the trash can," another voice said. I glanced towards the side of the room that it came from and I saw Mirajane, Makarkov, and too many other members to name. After getting sick multiple times in the trash can she handed me, I managed to say, "how long was I out? What are all of you doing here, you can't all be here just because I was hurt during the job..." The second half was more to myself than to them.

"Well, we aren't just here because you got hurt. You've been out for a week Freed. We defeated the Dark Mages, but they wouldn't tell us what kind of magic they cast on you, just that it was lost magic. We couldn't get you to wake up, so you've been in the local hospital since. Everyone from the guild came here to see you." Laxus explained. Now that I looked more closely, I noticed that everyone looked tired and sad. I can't believe they are here for me.

"Did you guys find out what the spell did?" I asked, realizing that I could still be in danger. I threw up again before they could answer.

"Well, the doctor didn't want to run any tests that could endanger your condition any more when you were in your coma, so we don't exactly know yet," Evergreen said, sounding strangely worried.

"Well, now that I'm awake, we can do tests right. I would like to know what's wrong. And why I keep throwing up," I was worried that there might be something seriously wrong with me. Lost magic is lost for a reason.

We called the doctor in, and he took me a room to do tests. Blood pressure was fine. No temperature. No external bruises. No broken bones. Testing for diseases were all negative. I seemed to be in perfect health. The only thing left to do was to get a magic scan so they could see every inch of the inside of my bodY, and check for tumors or any internal problems.

We went into the x-ray room and the doctor prepared a spell that would allow him to see inside of me. There was a telepathy magic mage who would project the image onto a lacrima-vision. A soothing light engulfed me as the scan was commencing. However, as soon as it had began, I heard a gasp from both the doctor and the mage who was reading his mind. I heard a noise from the screen, signifying that it had received the image, but I was terrified to turn around, thinking my life may soon be at an end. The one thing I was not expecting were the words that were uttered next.

"Mr. Justine, you seem to be... Pregnant."
