I'm so evil for ending the last chapter like that. I was laughing at all of your shocked reactions. Guess what? You're in for a surprise.

BTW THIS IS NOW RATED M! The themes get darker and more mature, so I'm changing it for that. But maybe now that it's M I'll make some scenes more *ahem* sexier.

Chapter 7: Talk to Me

"You were WHAT!?" Cana exclaimed. Juvia quickly covered her mouth and frantically looked over to the sleeping Gray. Gray was quite the light sleeper and although he may have passed out, she wasn't sure if he would stay that way for long.

"Please Cana." Juvia begged. She also didn't know if Gajeel, Levy, Erza, and Jellal were still up. "Calm down."

Cana shoved Juvia away, "Calm down my ass! How could you not tell me? Did you think I would abandon you? I would've been there every step of the way. Did Gray…" Cana stopped mid-sentence and glared at Gray's sleeping form. She slowly stood up, grabbing the first thing she could find. Juvia groaned, grabbing Cana and seating her down, "He didn't abandon me! He doesn't even know!" Cana glare was replaced with shock. Everything was finally put into place, "You were just going to leave and raise this baby alone?" Cana looked down at Juvia's stomach, "Don't tell me." Juvia chuckled at her best friend's reaction, "You really did miss a lot."

.

Erza was the first to wake up, although not pleasantly. She was forced awake when she had a mouthful of hair. She spat it out and almost elbowed her torturer away until she saw his peaceful face. She hadn't seen him like this in years. She wrapped her arms around his back, rubbing soothing circles into it. She hadn't held him like this in so long, she just wanted to enjoy the moment.

She looked between them and smiled at their naked bodies pressed together. She missed the feeling of him. She realized she hadn't been that happy in years. Three to be exact. She blushed as she thought about it. He was so passionate, so raw-

Wait. Raw?

She looked around, hoping to see discarded rubber anywhere around the room. Had they been so in the moment they forgot to use protection? Had he pulled out? Erza tried to think back to it to remember if he did but she couldn't. Erza tightened her grip slightly, making Jellal stir.

"Erza?" He mumbled.

"Sorry. Go back to sleep." She closed her eyes, pretending like she was about to. Her mind could only focus on one thing.

They would be fine. Nothing was going to happen.

.

"I'm not a mother. I wasn't pregnant. My period was just late. But the point is that I left thinking that I was. I had every intention to raise this baby without Gray ever knowing. If Gray ever found out, he would never forgive me." Juvia sighed at her own hypocrisy. Here she was swearing she would never forgive him for he did to Gajeel but what about her? She was no better than him.

"Juvia. We were sophomores. You were like fifteen or sixteen. You were freaking out and were already put in a stressful situation. Especially because Gray was doing cocaine. Of course you wouldn't want to raise a baby like that. I just wish you told me."

Juvia smiled at her, "You wouldn't have let me leave if I did." Cana shrugged, knowing it was the truth. "Are you going to tell Gray?" Juvia's smile turned into a frown, "What's the point? It's been three years." Cana eyed Gray, "He deserves to know. He's going to be mad, and granted, he was an ass, but he deserves to know." Juvia followed Cana's stare to Gray. Her heart sank when she thought about how terribly that conversation would go. She was sure he would never talk to her again.

"He would hate me for the rest of his life."

"You two don't talk anymore anyway. What difference would it make? At least you can finally get this off your chest." Cana was right. They didn't talk anymore, but Juvia would never tell her that a part of her was hoping that would change.

"It's been three years Juvia. It's time to lay your demons to rest."

As they both sipped their drinks in silence, they changed the conversation to more light-hearted topics and eventually lulled themselves to sleep. They were both so tired, they didn't notice a certain salmon haired man stir in his sleep. A man who had exceptionally good hearing but was too sleepy and still tipsy to pay attention to every word. Natsu sat up when he heard their steady breathing, his mouth agape and his eyes bugged out at Juvia.

"Juvia was pregnant?"

.

He missed the feeling of the silk slips Juvia would always wear to bed, which he always took off with ease. He missed the smell of her hair, which always had a unique smell of the salty ocean. He missed the feeling of her milky arms and smooth legs wrapped around him, squeezing him tighter as he thrusted deeper into her. He missed the amount of pleasure he felt as he watched his lover reach the peak of her climax. He missed the way her walls squeezed around him, begging him to never stop.

"Gray" She moaned.

He cupped her breast with one hand and pulled her hair roughly with the other. He was aggressive in bed, sometimes maybe too much. But Juvia never complained. If anything, Gray was sure it was her secret desire.

"Louder." He demanded.

"Make me." She teased. He loved her so much. Everyone outside their relationship may have thought he had her wrapped around his finger, but it was the complete opposite. He was whipped. He fell so hard, so fast. He would do anything for her.

He stopped his rhythm for a moment and pulled her hair to make her face him. She gasped, and Gray chuckled at the anger in her face. "Why would you-"

"Never leave me."

"What?"
"Never leave me. I wouldn't be able to go on without you. I can't imagine my life anymore without you in it." Juvia wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. It was gentle at first, which he knew was her promise to him. He kissed her back just as softly, sealing the promise. He kissed her more aggressively as he held her wrists above her head. She gasped at the sudden force, but Gray knew by her flushed cheeks that she loved it. She loved to be dominated,

"You're mine now."

"Forever and always."

Gray shot up and looked around. Natsu was no longer next to him and Lucy was snoring louder than she ever could. Happy was also gone, but Gray assumed he had just followed Natsu. Gray looked to the couch and saw Cana and Juvia had managed to make it there before falling asleep. He crawled his way over to his blue haired beauty.

She was still so beautiful, if anything more so. He knew he had always missed her, but now that she was within arm's reach, he realized just how much he yearned for her. Not just sexually, despite the dream he just had, but emotionally too. Juvia kept him on his feet. When his anxiety became too much to bear, she would be right there to calm him down. She was the cure for all his problems and he didn't even know it until she was gone.

She had saved him from his life of depression and he betrayed her.

"And you don't even know the half of it." He sighed in disappointment. She would never know. He would never betray Ultear, no matter how much it hurt him.

.

Natsu didn't want to leave the room in his tipsy state, but he needed air. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. Juvia was pregnant. Suddenly it all made sense. He knew that Gray and Juvia were going strong, so the sudden break up confused him to no end. Did Juvia tell Gray she was pregnant so he broke up with her? Was he that much of an asshole? He wouldn't even grow up and take responsibility for his own child?

Natsu's fists clenched in anger. He forgave him so easily. He believed that Gray was truly sorry for his actions. Another one of Gray's lies. He claimed he wanted everyone's forgiveness, but isn't even trying to get it from the one person that mattered most. The one person he hurt the most. Instead he ignored her. Even when she's in the same room as him, he won't even speak a word to her. He let everyone in their school believe Juvia was too clingy, which was the reason for their break up. He didn't start the rumor, but he didn't deny it either. Natsu was stomping at this point. He wondered if this was the type of person Gray always was, and they were all just too trusting to see it.

He wondered where the cocaine came into play. Gray and Ultear had left, only saying they needed to 'find themselves'. No one knew what it meant, but they never responded to any form of communication, so the question was never answered. They all then put two and two together and assumed they left because Erza had told them they were doing the drug and were about to get caught, so they planted it with Jellal, who was forced to take the fall for them. She claimed she had no evidence but she was so dead set on the theory that everyone else believed it. Erza was not one to judge anybody, so the fact that she was made it all the more serious. She made them promise not to tell a soul. If it wasn't for Lucy's outburst on their first day of college, Natsu was sure Gray would never know that they knew what he was doing.

He grabbed his new cat and raised him up to his eye level. "Oh my God! Happy! Juvia must have known from the beginning and made him choose! Drugs or her and the baby." His face darkened as he came to another conclusion.

"Gray chose… drugs? Over his girlfriend? Over his fucking child?"

Happy looked up at his master, meowing at the sudden silence. Natsu looked back to the dorm buildings, planning his attack. He was going to tell everyone what Gray did to Juvia and let them see the asshole he really was. He didn't deserve their forgiveness. How dare he play them?

"I'm going to fucking kill him."
