Lucy's POV:
I woke up in the middle of the night and realized I was still in my uniform. I went to my dresser and changed into more comfortable clothes and then I saw my reflection in the mirror. I could tell that I was beginning to show a bit. I rubbed my belly a bit trying to get myself to realize that this was really happening, I was having a child that had been cursed by some crazy spirit.
All of a sudden outside my window the night sky lit up for a split second. I walked towards the window to look outside on what was going on. Out towards the Vameels farm fairy tail was causing a ruckus. Occasional flames shot up in the air along with ice and swords. Even the trees near the farm swayed in one direction, like a strong blast of air hit them. I was so tempted to go and help them, grab my keys and kick some bad guy butt. Then I thought about the baby, I couldn't bring any harm to it. Plus I couldn't blow my cover to my friends, I wasn't Lucy anymore.
I got frustrated at myself and walked back to bed. It was going to be hard getting back to sleep with so much noise going on outside.
"Hey Lucy? Lucy? Wake up." I heard Alexa's voice calling my name.
"Whhhaattt?" I said complaining not wanting to get up. I had the hardest time, constantly tossing and turning all night.
"Hey I need you to watch the diner this morning while I go out to the market." Alexa said.
"Yeah sure, Ill be down there to open it in ten." I said as I got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up a bit. I put on one of my comfortable spring time dresses that wasn't belted at the waist, walked down stairs to the diner and started a pot of coffee and some hot water for tea. I did my normal routine when I was asked to open the diner, polished some cups and dishware, opened the door and sat at the counter counting money from the till so I had enough for the day.
I heard the bell ring as the door was swung open, my first customer, thinking it was Mr. Malenson as usually I turned to greet him with a smile. As I turned I noticed it wasn't him, but Natsu standing at the counter looking straight in my eyes.
"Good morning" I said trying not to stutter my words. He sat down at one of the booth stools and looked around a bit. "Your Natsu, from Fairy tail? Would you like anything to drink this morning?" I said grabbing a cup from the cupboard below the counter.
"I am Natsu, and some coffee would be great." He said. It sounded so good to hear his voice again, but it wasn't the same as it normally was. It didn't sound so cheerful, and when did Natsu start drinking coffee. I pored him a cup with a bit of sugar in it and handed him the warm cup, without even blowing on it he took a sip. Figures from a dragon slayer who can eat fire. The bell on the door rang again and in came Mr. Malenson for his usually cup of coffee.
"Good morning Mr. Malenson the usual today?" I asked as he walked towards his normal seat.
"Yes please my dear." He said sitting down. He looked Natsu up and down for a few minutes before speaking. "well look who we have here. The youngling fire wizard, what were the two of you discussing before I came in?" He asked always looking for the newest gossip.
"Well I was just about to ask him how the Vameel job went last night." I said grabbing a cup to give to Mr. Malenson.
"It went well. We haven't caught them yet, we might be here another night. Turns out there spirits not thugs like they hoped." He said sipping on his coffee.
"Spirits are a nasty thing out here in this country land. Were burdened with all kinds coming and going." Mr. Malenson said "What brings you out here to do a job like this anyway?"
"I'm looking for my wife." Natsu said you could tell there was a bit of sorrow in his words. "She left because she thought she was in danger and wanted to protect us both. I can't live without her though, so me and my team have been searching for her while we do job requests." He paused. "You remind me a lot of her Lilliana. I don't know why but I'm drawn to you, I don't even like coffee…." He took another gulp of his coffee chugging it all down.
"I'm so sorry to hear about your wife. What was she like?" Mr. Malenson asked.
"She was the smartest, beautiful-est, women you would ever know. She had blonde hair and brown eyes. She was a celestial spirit wizard and has a pink fairy tail guild mark on her right hand." He said pausing to look up at the ceiling. "She also found out she was pregnant, 2 months when she disappeared." looked at me and then at Natsu again and took a sip of his coffee.
"She sounds like a strong remarkable women. Its to bad that she had to run away though, I'm sure you'll find her sooner or later though. I unfortunately haven't seen anyone matching her description around here though." He said sipping his coffee and then looking at me straight in the eyes. I could tell he was putting two and two together though.
"Neither have I, but I'll keep my eye out for sure though." I said walking towards the cash register.
"Well thank you both. I should go to see if my team is awake." He said getting up putting a couple of bills on the table.
"Hey Natsu, Coffee's on the house." I said giving him a smile, he just nodded grabbed his money and walked out the door.
"Lilliana…. I can't help but think…. That there is more to your story that you are letting on here." Mr. Malenson said.
"I don't know what your talking about." I said smiling back and walking into the kitchen. I couldn't believe that my friends have been searching for me this entire time.
**Whoa! Another filler chapter. :P Well do you think Mr. Malenson knows? And what was with Natsu? Do you think he might think that Lilliana is Lucy? Oh man! Thanks for readin! **
