AN: Hello again. I thank you for your time for reading this. Please enjoy it more than I did. I just noticed that Sting and Rogue knew that Lucy was pregnant first. They're like a pregnancy detectors Hahaha. Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail.
Chapter 4
Lucy ran out of the guild, not bothering to say goodbye. She was halfway to the train station, but saw Natsu with Happy. All the bad memories came rushing down on her. She wanted to stay away from him so she went into an alleyway and waited for them to pass by. When they finally did she continued walking slowly so she could walk her last steps in Magnolia until she returned.
Natsu and Happy walked into the guild. They sat there making themselves comfortable and talking to the other guild members.
"I wonder how Lucy is." Happy said out of the blue
"Me too." Natsu said. He somehow had a bad feeling that he couldn't shake off. He wanted to visit Lucy, but he knew he could not to go. He saw the door to Makarov's office open. He didn't know why, but he expected to see Lucy so he walked towards it. Instead of Lucy he saw a crying Mirajane. "Eh? Mira what's wrong?" Natsu asked as he walked closer. No reply came from her, but Mira slapped Natsu. It was powerful enough to knock him down on the floor. Natsu groaned and touched his burning cheek.
"What are you doing, Mira?" Erza asked as she and Gray ran towards the scene.
"Nee-san" said the take-over siblings.
"L-Lucy left the guild." Mira said. Everyone was shocked. Especially Natsu. Mirajane remembered what Master Makarov said to her before she walked out of his office.
Mira walked in carrying Makarov's lunch. She set it down on the table.
"Master Makarov, your lunch." Mira said. Makarov was silent, but hummed in reply. "What's wrong?" Mira said.
"It's about Lucy…" Makarov said. Mira began to breathe faster because she was afraid of what might've happened to her.
"D-Does it have anything to do with her illness?" Mira said.
"Yes. It's an illness that will last eight more months and because of it she left the guild." Makarov said. Mirajane was surprised.
"You're lying! Lucy wouldn't do that" Mira said trying to get Makarov's words out of head.
"Lucy is pregnant." Makarov said.
"Who's the father?" Mira asked.
"It's Natsu." Makarov replied. Mirajane would have been thrilled with the news, but not right now with the situation.
"Lucy didn't want to cause any trouble with him. She thought that Natsu was in love Lisanna." Makarov said. Mirajane's eyes widened at the mention at her sister's name.
"You idiot. Lisanna likes someone else." Mira said.
"H-How was I supposed to know. If I didn't know sooner, I might've been able to stop Lucy." Makarov said.
"Do you know where she went?" Mira asked.
"No. Even if we did find her, she would not want to stay. Leave her alone and let it go, Mirajane." Makarov said. Before Mira could leave Makarov stopped her with his words.
"It's no easier for me too. Don't tell anyone the reason why she left. Make an excuse. Something like she went on a journey to explore Earthland. That kind of thing is something she would do." Makarov said. Mira left right there.
During the rest of the day everyone kept quiet. Some were crying and some were just sitting there staring into space. They all hoped that Lucy would come back soon.
AN: sorry for the short update!
