Chapter 3

C.O.D – Cause of Death

oOoOoOo

Juvia nervously paced back and forth in her room. An hour ago, she had just found that she was pregnant; of course she had made sure of it that she tested it five times and it all came back positive. She was already 6 weeks pregnant. That was why she was feeling so tired and nauseous lately.

"What should I tell Gray-sama? Would be happy or…mad?" she muttered to herself, biting her nails in nervousness. "No, I have to tell him!"

Juvia was on her way to Magnolia University. She knew Gray had a one hour free period this afternoon. On her way, a well endowed brunette girl stopped her. Her green eyes cold and calculating which sent shivers down Juvia's spine.

"Your Juvia right? Juvia Lockser?"

Juvia nodded "You are…?"

"Chantelle"

"What do you want from Chantelle-san?"

"Can we talk somewhere private?"

They ended up in a café, few blocks away from the university. They were seated in the farthest corner of the café, far from prying ears.

"I'll tell you straight up; break up with Gray or to be more precise, leave my boyfriend alone" Chantelle told her. Juvia felt as if a bucket of cold water fell on her. What was this woman talking about? Boyfriend? Gray is Juvia's boyfriend not hers?

Juvia chuckled nervously " What are you talking about?"

Chantelle sneered "I am Gray's partner on a project he's working on" she smiled "things escalated quickly from there"

oOoOoOo

"C.O.D*?" Gajeel looked over the dead body sprawled on the dance floor in a bar just near the street. A guy named Gin, a bartender in the said bar, said that when he arrived to open the place, he had found the body.

"Well, from all the lacerations in the body and the large blood pool, you can say he was chopped and left to bleed to death, but as from you can see here…" a man with long green hair said as he pointed to a deep circular impression in the head of the victim " it's a blunt force trauma…"

Gajeel stared at the medical examiner "Does he have any GSW, sissy boy?"

The greenhead glared "Stop calling me that Gajeel and No, he doesn't have any, why?"

The CSI shrugged "Well, Ice pants found some metal casings just near the booth" he jerked his head to Gray who was crouching in the booth taking photos of any possible evidences.

"Ice pants?"

"Gray Fullbuster, the new CSI transferee along the noisy Natsu Dragneel"

The medical examiner chuckled "Like your one to talk, Say, he looks familiar"

Gajeel narrowed his eyes "I know, and I don't like it"

"He looks a lot like Ulrich! The kid is like a mini carbon copy of him!" the greenhead exclaimed.

Gray looked around and noticed Gajeel talking to the medical examiner, they look pretty serious, and so he assumed they were talking about the case.

He walked over to them. "Gray Fullbuster, new CSI, I wanna asked if there are impressions on the body of the victim?"

The greenhead nodded "Freed Justine, medical examiner. Nice to meet you. Yeah, here" he pointed again to the wound in the head.

"It matches" Gray muttered

"What matches?" Gajeel asked

"Well I found a bottle there; on the bottom was some blood"

"Possible murder weapon?"

"Maybe"

oOoOoOo

"Aunt Mira!" Ulrich greeted loudly as he ran towards the receptionist with his mother in tow "is Uncle Gajeel here?"

"Oh yeah, he just came from the crime scene on a new case" Mira smiled

"Really?" Ulrich looked so happy that he immediately ran to his Uncle's office. Juvia bowed in apology to the receptionist for her son's ruckus.

"Oh come on Juvia, You and Ulrich are always welcome here!" Juvia laughed at that.

Juvia was about to go after the little boy when a voice she hadn't heard for the last five years called out to her, in a trembling shocked tone.

"Juvia?"

The bluenette spun around in shock and came face to face with the man she had loved since her high school years up until now.

With a shaking hand, she covered her mouth in shocked as she gasped out the words she had never spoken since those years.

"Gray-sama"

oOoOoOo

Gray was freaking tired.

Over the last five hours, he had been checking on the things found in the victim's body which may help identify the victim. Their John Doe was a complete stranger. He had no records of anything.

"Natsu any luck in AFIS?" he asked the pink haired man beside him, who is also very tired.

"None so far"

"I'm gonna go get some coffee, you want some?"

"No thanks"

After getting his coffee, Gray was about to go back to his office when he heard a soothing familiar laugh that he had longed to hear all these years.

He turned around and saw a bluenette talking to Mira, the woman was strikingly familiar. He wanted to know if it was her, so he called out to see if she would react.

"Juvia?"

The woman turned around, and he saw the face of the woman whom he had loved the first time, the same woman who made him smile and hope during the time he lost his parents when no one else could and left him brokenhearted.

Her eyes widen in shock and disbelief and also…happiness.

"Gray-sama"

God, he longed to hear her voice and call him that.

They just stared at each other and blocked out the others but one single voice broke them out of their reverie.

"Mom?"

They both turned to look at Ulrich sitting on Gajeel's shoulders. Gajeel looked confused but at the same time mad, cause everything clicked in.

Gray was Ulrich's father.

"Mom? You know Mister Gray?" Ulrich asked again.

Juvia looked at her son "Yes, Ul-chan, remember how you always told me you would find your daddy?" tears rolled down her rosy cheeks.

Ulrich nodded. A bit scared to see his mother cry like that.

"Well, you found daddy"
