Chapter 7
I do not own Fairy Tail.
'Wow,' thought Lucy as she walked into Master's office to give him the news, 'this is so not cool.'
"Lucy, dear. How was your appointment?" asked the old man.
"Well, the babies are okay, I actually just came to give you this," said the blonde, getting a copy of the picture of the ultrasound.
"Ba...bies? As in more than one?"
"Yes, Master," sighed the blonde, handing him the picture, "I'm expecting twins."
Master then grinned hugely, "Well, seems like our house will be more lively with your beautiful babies! Oh I do so hope they're girls!"
"Thank, Master. I'm sure my children will be very lucky to have you as a grandfather," smiled the blonde.
Lucy stood up to make her way out but Master said, "Lucy, have you met everyone in the house?"
"Almost, I'm just missing your grandson and Jellal and his sisters, I think?"
"Well, I'm sure you'll meet Laxus soon enough!"
Everywhere he turned someone was talking about the blonde girl and her babies.
'So she comes with more baggage than expected,' he thought.
He decided to join everyone for dinner and have a drink. Or maybe two.
"So," he overhead Alberona saying to Ever, "what do you think Lucy is gonna answer Gray?"
This perked up Laxus attention. It wasn't everyday that he heard that their resident Popsicle confessed.
"Gray confessed?" Asked Laxus.
"Why are you interested?" asked the drunk.
"It's not everyday that I hear a friend of mine, who by the way happens to appear that he has no emotions whatsoever, confesses. Also, what's so good about this Lucy?" said the blonde man.
He was about to tell them how Bixcslow wouldn't stop talking about her, when a blonde, curvy girl made her way to their table.
Laxus's mouth was agape. Was this really the girl gramps showed her? The girl standing in front of him look so beautiful.
Cana then snickered and said, "that's what's good."
Lucy sat down with her hamburger and fries, done by her new brother Elfman.
She greeted Cana and Evergreen, then turned to Laxus, extending her hand. Laxus couldn't do anything except stare at her until Ever smacked the back of his head.
"Laxus," he grumbled, "nice to meet ya, Blondie."
"Hey, you're blonde too!"
"Not the greatest comeback," said Laxus.
Lucy then turned to Cana and asked, "is he a jerk to everyone, or am I a special case?"
Cana giggled and said, "most of the time he doesn't even show his face, but when he does he doesn't talk. So yes, you're a special case."
Laxus glared at the brunette. After a while of making fun of Laxus, he saw Erza make her way over to their table and decided it was time to leave.
"Laxus," he heard the Titania's voice just when he was about to make a dash for it, "sit down. You should get to know Lucy better, she's a sweetheart."
"Actually," said Lucy, pushing away her almost finished food, "I kinda wanna take a nap, Erza."
"Are you not feeling okay Lucy?" asked the redhead, looking worried.
"No, I feel fine. Just a bit tired."
"Alright," said Scarlet, "go to bed. Tomorrow we'll go shopping."
Lucy smiled and walked away, and Laxus did the same. Since they were walking in the same direction Laxus decided to make some small talk.
"So," he asked the blonde, "how old are you?"
"20, and you?"
"25, you look older, or well more mature," remarked Laxus.
"I was raised to be mature, you know, and you don't look that old," smiled Lucy.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" asked Laxus laughing.
They had reached Lucy's room and they both said their farewells.
But one of them got this funny feeling in their stomachs. You could say, butterflies.
The next day Lucy woke up to a slight knock on her door.
'Crap,' she thought 'Erza's gonna kill me.'
She opened the door and was about to explain why she overslept, but stopped once she saw it was Laxus.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
"Scarlet is sick," he said simply.
"Oh. Oh. Okay." 'back to bed,' she thought.
"She told me to take you shopping."
"Oh. Okay. I'll just shower and have breakfast," she told the blonde man.
"Just shower, I'm taking you out for breakfast," he stated and then left.
Lucy and Laxus were now in a private booth at a little 50's themed dine-in.
The two blondes had already ordered, and were now making small talk just about everything.
From what Lucy had gathered Laxus didn't have many friends because he was always out so much.
He kept it simple. Ever, Bixcslow, Freed, and Gray was as much as his friend network extended.
Their food arrived, and they kept on talking and they finally got to a sore subject for Lucy.
"So," Laxus said, "who's the father of the babies?"
Lucy grimaced, but answered, "How much do you know about the boxing business?"
"Not much," he answered truthfully.
"Do you know who Rogue Cheney is?"
"Yes, is he?"
"No, his brother Sting is," answered the blonde, "do you know him?"
"I've seen him talked to him though."
"Yes. Well, talking is something Sting doesn't do very well unless its to pick up chicks."
"So why were you with him?" asked Laxus.
"We went out during high school, so it kinda made sense I ran to him when things got... rough." said the blonde.
Laxus only smiled and finished his omelette. Lucy was just about done so she put up her fork and stood up.
He payed and they made their way out, heading for the stores Erza had listed for them.
'Gosh darn it,' Lucy thought, 'not again!'
Laxus was only laughing. It was the fifth time someone asked them if they were a couple.
Lucy smiled at the cashier lady and said, "No, we're just friends."
Laxus being the idiot he is said, "Now you deny me? And I thought he had something special," and he walked away looking as if he was hurt.
"Laxus!" but said man had walked away to look at the strollers.
"Oh sweetie," said the old cashier, "you got a handsome young man there, don't let him go or I may just steal him, ohoho."
'I won't,' thought smiling.
