As Lucy was leaving, her phone began to ring. She ignored it. It rang a second time as she shut the door to her car. She sighed in frustration. The only thing Lucy really wanted to do was go back home and cuddle with Nash as she awaited the arrival of her husband. Lucy put the folder in her glove box before digging the annoying machine out of her pocket. She looked at the caller ID and groaned as she realised who it was. Why couldn't she just be left alone?
"Hello." She said in a monotone voice.
"Hey Lucy, everything ok? What did the doctor say?" Laxus asked, worriedly.
She thought for a minute. What should she say?
"Everything's fine. I'm just frustrated that this doctor was able to pinpoint that the problem has to do with my immune system, but he is sending me to a specialist to find out my actual condition that's causing all of the symptoms."
Laxus sighed, "Well, I know you're tired of seeing doctors, but maybe this specialist will find out what's really wrong."
"Yeah, hopefully. So how is my little man?" She asked trying to change the subject, hoping he wouldn't notice.
"He's fine. Oh and Natsu texted me this morning. He told me to tell you that he will be back home by tonight."
She started to panic slightly, but she couldn't let Laxus notice so she took inhaled deeply and responded. "Thanks for telling me. Well, I gotta go. I'll talk to you later."
"Lucy, wait! Are you sure you're okay? You know you can tell me anything."
"Yes, Laxus. I'm fine, I promise." She said hoping she had convinced him.
"Okay then, see you later."
"See you later, Laxus." Then he hung up and she lost it. All the tears she didn't know she was holding in came rushing out. She hated lying to anybody especially the people close to her. Laxus was technically her cousin, but they had a sibling-like relationship. He was a year older than her. Their moms were sisters and both of them had died. Lucy was 8 when her mom passed and Laxus was 10 when his passed. When Lucy ran away from home at 14, she moved in with him and his grandfather, Makarov Dreyar.
She composed herself and was about to pull out of the parking lot when her phone rang again.
This time she didn't even check the caller ID and just picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hi, I'm calling about a Lucy Dragneel?" A feminine voice spoke.
"This is she. How can I help you?" Responded Lucy, hesitantly.
"This is Dr. Resnik's office, an appointment has been set up for you tomorrow at 3 pm. Can you confirm that you will be at this appointment?"
'Wow,' Lucy thought. She hadn't expected an appointment this soon. "Yes, but where is your office located?" She questioned.
"Onibus. Now Mrs. Dragneel, Dr. Resnik also needs you to have two tests performed tomorrow before the appointment. You are to report to the Onibus Regional Hospital at 1 pm in the Cancer Research Ward on the third floor." said the voice.
"What kind of tests?" Asked Lucy, sceptically.
"A bone marrow aspiration and a bone marrow biopsy. You also cannot drive after the test." answered the voice.
"I can't drive!!" She exclaimed.
"No, you can't. See you tomorrow."
"Wait-"
The Lady had hung up.
Lucy sighed again. Onibus was an hour from here. She could take the train but it would cost more than driving and she had a feeling money would get tight soon. So if she wasn't going to take the train then she would have to take someone with her, but who? She thought about it for a second before smiling. She knew exactly who to ask.
She opened her text messages and sent a message.
CelestialGirl Hey, I'm feeling a little tired. Can you pick up Nash from Laxus and Mira?
A reply came in a minute later.
ScriptReader: Sure, you want me to keep him for a little while?
CelestialGirl: No, just bring him to the house. I'll be there in about 15 minutes.
ScriptReader: You sure? I know you've been having trouble sleeping. I can keep him if you need to take a nap.
CelestialGirl: No, it's fine. I have something I need to talk to you about anyways.
ScriptReader: Alright.
Lucy started to put her phone away when it dinged again.
ScriptReader: Hey, I forgot to ask what did the doctor say?
Lucy thought a second before typing her reply.
CelestialGirl: I'll tell you when you get to the house.
ScriptReader: Ok, see you in about a half an hour.
Lucy drove to her house in complete silence. What was she going to say?
