Wendy stared at the clock the whole time she was in class on Monday. Time seemed to tick on slowly, and it killed her at every second that ticked by right before her eyes. Gray had told her that today would be the day they would have to tell Lucy about Wendy wanting to go see her birth mother. Yesterday, after the shocking news that Gray knew, he also told her that he had sent out a letter to her, asking her if she wanted to meet Wendy. And as if her day could get worse, Romeo had announced that he was moving soon, due to issues his father dealt with at the time.

When the bell rang, she waved good-bye to Chelia and Romeo as she slowly followed Mrs. Fullbuster out to the car where Gray was waiting to drive the little girl home. Climbing in quietly, Wendy stared out the window as they drew past houses and trees, and as clear as she wanted them to be, to know they were going slow, everything just seemed like a blur.


"Her birth mother..." Lucy echoed, sadness and confusion clouded the blonde's chocolate eyes as she bit her lip quietly. "And she said yes to your letter?"

"Yes that's right Lucy." Gray whispered, drumming his fingers against his knee. "And I think that it's a perfect opportunity for Wendy to go and see her. Of course though, she refuses to come down here, so Wendy will have to go fly up there."

"No, I won't allow it." the blonde snapped, suddenly looking angry. "Wendy is my daughter and I make the decisions for her not you. She will not be going up to see her mother. Nor get the rights to my child back." as saying so, she slapped the letter on the coffee table. It was the letter that Wendy's birth mom had written back to Gray, only now, she wanted to earn her rights to Wendy back.

"You have to think about Wendy here." the man whispered, looking up the stairs where the little girls room was. Don't you know how much she must want to see the woman who gave birth to her?"

"The child she abandoned," Lucy corrected. "And no, I won't be able to see my little girl again." at that, the blonde teared up and covered her mouth shaking. "It isn't fair towards me! I agree to this and Wendy is gone forever with her true mother! Don't you know how that makes me feel?" she asked, a small sob tearing her throat.

Touching her knee, Gray just whispered, "It's your decision Lucy, you got till Wednesday though, or her birth mother will try taking Wendy the hard way, and we don't want that."


Wendy wanted to scream at what she had just heard. "What do you mean no?!" she cried, looking at her foster mother with hurt eyes. "Don't you want me to be happy?"

"I do! But I don't want you gone! It'll kill me for you to leave!" the blonde cried back, both had tear stained faces and blood shot eyes as they continued the shouting.

"If you loved me, you would let me go!" as soon as she said that, the little girl shook with regret as her mother went silent and bowed her head.

"Very well than..." she croaked, "Go on and start packing...you will be leaving..."


It was agreed later that Romeo and Wendy would leave with his father since they were heading towards the same place. Giving hugs goodbye to everyone, Wendy gave Natsu and Lucy a kiss on the cheek before boarding the airplane that would break that family apart. As they took off, a flash went through Wendy's body, seeing her foster mother looking so sad and hurt. Why had she left the woman who made this all happen so broken and feeling so unloved at the last point?


A few months later, Wendy's birth mom claimed custody over the little girl, and that same girl sent a letter to her mother:

I'll see you in a few years mom! I promise I'll come back to you and hug you and kiss you and do anything and everything to make it up to you, I'm so sorry that we left off on the wrong page, but I hope it can be all solved when I come back to visit!

-You're daughter, Wendy

Though, it was too bad the girl forgot to send it to the blonde.
