The Guild

The sullen mood of Fairy Tail was hanging heavy in the air. When Wendy came of the infirmary with Porlyusica in tow, the guild was continuously nagging her, almost pleading with her in a desperate hope to know what was going on, but they didn't dare ask Porlyusica. The guild doors were held open to let the breeze in, even bringing in some leaved from trees and bushes. They liked the feeling of the warmth of the breeze; it didn't make them shiver but was actually quiet comforting.

The bluenette didn't let out a single pep to what happened to Juvia or why Gray was in such a state, it wasn't her place to say. Wendy walked towards the railing in hope to find a certain raven haired boy. She searched for him in the in the crowed and spotted him in a secluded corner of the guild in what looked like a very heated conversation with his father Marco and family friend Wakaba. Also known as his uncle. Smiling to herself she made her way down the stairs.

Her face heated at the memory, it had been such a surprise … the kiss. And she loved every minute of it, and then those three walked in. She smiled faintly and moved down stairs at a faster pace taking three at a time to where Mira was working the bar.

"Pink milkshake to go?" She asked, the take-over mage glanced at the bluenette worriedly. She had long since tried to get Wendy to spill the beans as to what was going on. She shook her head, her blue hair shifting in the wind, and if she dared even let a smile escape on this depressing atmosphere. Her face taking on a light glow of happiness, certainly a nice change in the gloomy hall.

Lucy would have been the first person Wendy would tell, but since she Natsu had mysteriously disappeared for the last few hours, she turned to her second best choice, Mira.

This used to be Carla, Wendy would go telling her companion everything, but Carla had also disappeared shortly after Wendy's little explosion that morning. Wendy did felt guilty about this and promised she would talk to her later tonight if she got the chance. They needed to sort things out between them, Carla was also the same person she shared memories with at Cat Shelter. Though that place wasn't real she didn't want to give them up, to believe that they had been nothing more than a mere creation for her to keep her company in her younger years.

"No, but I have to tell you something …" Mira noticing the excited tone in Wendy's voice could only guess what had happened. She smiled at the teen and leaned forward, chin resting on her entwined fingers lightly.

"What happened?" She launched into an explanation on her early event at Romeo's house, but didn't mention to tell her about Romeo's secret. But rather skipped to when they started kissing. Mira cooed at all the right places and nodded, smiling and dropping little comments were needed.

"Sooo ….?" Wendy said once she finished, looking for some mature feedback by someone who had a little experience in that department.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean what do you make of this now?"

"Hmmm, well, if it isn't obvious enough he likes you. And you like him …" Holding her hands in a yin yang fashion behind the counter.

"State the obvious"

"One of you has to make the move and it doesn't always have to be the boy"

"So you're saying I should make the first move?" The barmaid nodded "What would that be?" Oh, Precious Wendy …

"Go to the festival together…"

"Too cliché"

"Dinner?"

"Too formal and serious over a small kiss" Though the kiss wasn't small at all and lasted rather a long time on Romeo's bed, she felt that would be taking things too far and fast on a short amount of time. Like, she could still feel where his skin touched hers … she shivered at the thought and small goose bumps rose on her pale skin.

"Go to a park and hang out, it's pretty this time of the year and all the flowers are coming out" This indeed was true which meant the yearly festival in Magnolia would be soon.

"Hmmm" She tilted her head unsure thinking it over. She didn't want it to be cliché and go to a park with Mira following her around in a desperate hope to catch all their time together on camera, but she didn't want to go to a dinner and have an awkward conversation and have everything go to hell too. She feared that might make Romeo freak out if they went to dinner after their first kiss … that just seemed far too serious.

"Movies, remember what I said about pretending to be scared to have a reason to cuddle?"

"Yeah, but, I see myself as more of the 'I am stronger that' type of girl" This was true, though the sky dragon was contemplating it earlier she felt she didn't have the need for it after making out with her long time crush. Like it would be degrading herself in some way.

"I'm like that too, especially if you're a Fairy Tail mage, everyone sees you as strong and fierce and overpowering-"

"Carefree, obnoxious, loud, disruptive –"

"Don't forget BRATS!" Master yelled down from the second balcony at which he was sitting on calmly on chuckling, despite the grey atmosphere that was now threatening to consume everyone.

"Yeah, scared doesn't suit us" Mira agreed nodding.

"Anymore suggestions?"

"Hmm, my first date was at a circus …" Mira had taken on a dreamy like stance and seemed to be almost a million years away, Wendy's curiousness peaking asked.

"Can you tell me about it?" The sky dragon too leaning forward eagerly to listen in a hope to get some aspiration.

"I was young, it was before I joined Fairy Tail" Mira mused and Wendy struggled to picture a Fairy Tail without Mira in it. "Actually I was part of the circus, my parents died young from a health problem, we were descendant from the 'Kumora' tribe, very old and ancient, my siblings and I may just be the last ones. So as born mages we travelled a bit and found a Circus, and we thought 'Why not?' Lisanna was only little and had only just began to change her hands to claws, she was a very early learner. The circus people were actually very nice towards us and even let us work with them, some were mages but preferred to magic as entertainment than anything else. So we joined. It was fun, we travelled and got to see new things and got the help to raise Lisanna. And then one day as it was coming to the end of the year we stopped to perform for a week or two in a town. And then later that day, I saw a boy in the crowed not much older than me, after the show he came up to me and we just started talking. It was great, he was friendly enough, and he kept coming back every day I was on. And on the fourth time he came back he asked me out" Mira paused as a little squeal left Wendy's lips.

"Then what happened?" She spoke, almost completely over the counter herself to make sure she didn't miss a word despite her dragon slayer hearing, never having expected Mira to have such an exciting background before Fairy Tail.

"Well I said yes, outside our tent where the circus was there were heaps of rides, you name it we had it, and we just went outside and done everything, took every ride, ate almost everything, talked for ages, we didn't kiss or anything, but it was just a magical experience for me. To have connected in a different way, we just talked and for a whole day we were each other's best friend. He came back almost every day. I thought of them as dates, sweet innocent ones. And on the last week the circus moved on. And I haven't seen him since, though I have word that he joined not much longer after we travelled into Fiore to some strange town called Magnolia, and guess who I met in the crowed"

"Who?"

"Master. Who was taking Cana on her birthday. I was on and I was calling for someone in the crowed, and I picked Cana. After the show she came and sought me out, Master in tow, and then I just joined Fairy Tail, it was a last minute decision and we were about to move on again to the next town, and my brother and sister and I were like, 'why not? It will be another adventure!'"

"So that's it?" She exclaimed her eyes wide after taking in all the information.

"That was my first date and how I joined Fairy Tail. It feels like I have already had two great adventures, but this one isn't over yet" Mira winked and walked away smiling something secret to herself.

Wendy sat on the stool thinking that entire thing over in her head, Mira's first date didn't have any kissing or anything in it, but it just showed that you don't need it to have a good time or have a date, though that wasn't the moral of her story. Looking at the other stools along the counter she saw the small engravings people had put in it over the years. She had even added her own. There was many people names on it, some she knew and some who were long before her time, some with the letters S.C + M.C in a heart. And other ones say stuff like 'I was here on 16-4-714'.

There was so much history in this place.

Wendy could never see a greater generation of Fairy Tail mages in her life and had a hard time seeing that there ever will be one again. She just felt that there would always be something special about this generation, something that put them aside from the others. And she was sure many past generations had thought the same thing.

She loved Fairy Tail!

Natsu and Lucy

The Fire dragon sat up, still tired from his nap. He looked down to see Lucy still lying down beside him sleeping quietly, their hands were still connected and to be honest, it was a complete bother. He didn't have the freedom he wanted, something he and Lucy both discovered to be quiet the nuisance. The sun was beginning to fade slowly and he knew that hours had passed. He looked around the room were the walls were covered in a dying orange colour from the sunset. It was pretty, the sun made Lucy's skin appear even a little tanner, golden almost.

He smiled to himself, he had to be the luckiest guy in the world. He looked to see the time on the clock on the bedside table, but he's eyes caught on something else. He knew instantly what they were, Lucy's keys. And one of them was particularly bright, glowing. Natsu, who had no concept to how even bring two worlds together with only mental strength and energy, poked the key curiously.

He hadn't been expecting anything to happen!

Lucy shrieked when a blinding rush of gold filled the room and when it dimmed as fast as it came, and standing in the centre of it with a disapproving expression with arms crossed was Loke. Natsu stared open mouth, in complete shock of what he had done.

Lucy quickly pulling the sheets to her body to give herself better coverage, turned to Loke with a look of horror. Natsu, who usually was the first to react to things stared dumbfound at Loke. Loke looked at two, his eyes in slits glaring. Taking one step forward he heard the sound of plastic at his feet. Looking down he was greeted with the sight of discarded condom wrappers. A small growl escaping his throat he spoke lowly and deeply, having the effect of something predatory.

"We. Need. To. Talk"

~X~

Juvia and Gray

Gray sat on the next bed not looking at Juvia, he knew should be watching over her and making sure she wasn't in the slightest discomfort … but, he just couldn't face her right now. He couldn't bring himself to look at her. He felt that he had lost a child, which it was so close … and snatched away from him. He was still young and would never have wished for a child at his age. But now he was faced with it, the prospect of having one, and it being so close … he lost it.

"Gray?" She asked quietly, in a desperate hope that this time he might answer her. He made no move, and not a muscle twitched on his body, it was like an icy sculpture. Frozen, unmoving, not alive. Yet just existing.

Gray continued to sit quietly, absorbing everything he had heard. He didn't look at her, didn't answer her.

Didn't want to be near her.

"Gray?" This time with the soft sound of her voice cracking, the sound of tears coming, the thought that Juvia might have lost him.

Along with her child.

His child.

Their child.

She was at fault for this. He was hurting because of her.

What had she done?

"Gray!" This time she put more force behind it, not a tear had fallen yet … but she was close to breaking. This time he made the smallest indication that he was listening, a small soft grunt. Gray didn't trust his voice at the moment, a hand over his eyes, using the same hand to balance his face. "Can we talk about this?"

Something seemed to flare up inside of him, anger? He looked at Juvia, there was no emotion in his face or eyes. Just blank, but it was better than nothing.

"Fine, let's talk. You didn't tell me you were pregnant, you gave me no warning on what you were doing, hence not telling me that you were going to get rid of our child. A potential life! And you put yourself in pain doing what you did! Do you know what it was like to carry you here, twitching and withering in pain, and I could do nothing to help! Do you realise how defenceless I was? How scared I was for the both of you!" His voice rising and shacking with anger and sadness. He was standing up now, fist clenched by his side and small pool of ice growing out beneath his feet, spreading out further and further out of his emotions. Juvia could tell by the ice itself how he was feeling, this ice was whiter and wasn't smooth and slippery, but dry and hard, it's surface rough.

"Juvia knows what she did was wrong, but Juvia isn't ready for a child! She's scared and afraid and feels that … if she was to have a child she would have to stop her own life to cater its! Juvia knows that sounds selfish, but Juvia is a teenager and that responsibility shouldn't be a part of her! Not yet! There will be a time when I will stop what I do one day to watch another life, but that is not that day. Not today Gray-sama. Juvia is sorry, but she isn't ready to be a mother" Her words ending in a firm tone, they were final. Feeling a fraction better that she had said that she awaited Gray's reaction, his response. He was looking away, a faraway look in his eyes and his lips slightly parted. In a way as if they were about to speak, but no words came.

There was a heavy silence, which went without being broken. Gray returned to where he was sitting on the bed before. This time his hands clasped in front of him in deep thinking. The silence seemed heavier now, you almost feel it on your shoulders.

What were they going to do now? Many questions raced through both their minds, many were the same. Where did they go from here? Are they still together? Could they go back to the way they were, to a happier time and place.

Romeo and Laki

After the two adults had left Romeo to 'think over what he had done' he gotten to breath his first sigh of relief. That conversation had been interesting, and undoubtedly awkward. There was nothing worse than 'The talk' and it wasn't the birds and the bees or anything … but it wasn't something he would ever want to experience again. It was the 'In the heat in the moment' talk. It didn't sound that bad did it? Oh, how very wrong you are! The power of parents when they feel the need to enforce some serious talking with you, the power to leave you beet red, humiliated and wanting to crawl into a hole for the next century and then resurface. 'What if things went further than that?' or 'What if you made me a grandfather?' or 'Do you even have protection? She could have gotten' knocked up!'. There was absolutely nothing worse than 'What if this happened?'. Nothing can beat it! They had made the whole situation to sound worse than it was, and it was just a kiss! It wasn't like they were going to do anything.

And thinking back to when his father and uncle walked in … talk about embarrassment! He needed someone right now, his best friend preferably. But he couldn't find the pyromaniac anywhere, he had heard the faint discussion of the dares that Cana had set earlier and that Natsu and Lucy had been joined for the next twenty four hours. He wasn't sure to pity him or laugh. But he sure could go for some friendly male company right about now.

Romeo did wish to be with Wendy but wasn't sure if either of them were ready to face each other after his father walked in on them. It wasn't like they were heading anywhere bad, it was just kissing. Just kissing.

Something he had to explain to his father multiple times. Not that he had listened once to him … Which only seemed to make his humiliation worse! And Wakaba … don't even get him started on Wakaba. That drunk needed to learn to keep his business to himself, and foul mouth shut. He had never realised what a perv his uncle was. It was … crude and scaring!

Romeo wasn't even gonna go there. He didn't need a reminder of the sexualising comments that guy he called his uncle could make.

Don't get him started!

Romeo grumpily turned around in his seat, watching others in the hall. They seemed to be doing something, arguing or betting. And then a familiar person came to sit by him, with light pink hair that was in soft waves that ended beneath her shoulders she came to give him a small smile. Though to Romeo, it looked a little sinister.

"Do we need another talk?" Chucking his head back and groaning aloud he resisted the urge to get up and walk away. He heard the rumours of what was in her room. So he didn't feel any obligation to piss her off, but instead gave her a knowing look.

"Things are" Trying to find a word that wouldn't give her too much information "Progressing with us … so there's you know … no need to strap me in one of your …devices"

Laki chuckled at the young mage "Oh, how I love the fear and power I get when people hear about those!"

"Oh, I'm sure you get a good kick out of it"

"But what about Wendy? Do you still care if she did anything with someone else? That someone else had touched her lips like you have … and yes, I overheard" Laki gave Romeo a pointed stare, there was no escaping her questions. Romeo looked hurt at the reminder of her words; he had truly forgotten what he thought he heard that knife of Lucy's roof. Oh, Laki they eyes and ears everywhere here. There's nothing she doesn't know about these people.

"It doesn't matter if she did, I'm cool with it. I think …" He rubbed the back of his neck absentmindedly. Struggling to find another word, he wasn't sure if they could say dating, but wasn't sure if he was single either. And he wasn't sure how much information to give to Laki. She could be the devil, worse than Mira if she put her mind to it.

Laki liked his words, they were carefully chosen, and as a reward for nothing acting like a fool about what she said she gave him a reward. She leaned back completely in her seat. Looking completely relaxed, like she had all the time in the world and wasn't in a rush to get anywhere.

"So, for what you heard on the roof … You can know this much. Wendy, she's a nun. Had never done anything with anyone else ever. You're her first kiss. Think about that" She stood up and left with a bounce in her step, feeling like she had done something good. Romeo sat back stunned after her little confession, his mind racing.

"Yes! Baby! Yes!" he fist pumped the air, jumping up he ran over to where Wendy was seated excitedly

~X~

Juvia, Gray and Wendy

"What are we going to do now?" Gray asked, it was desperate question. He was still avoiding her, to not make eye contact, to look anywhere in her direction. But focused on the grey stone floor, the other infirmary beds lining the opposite wall, the divider curtains between them, the little nature pictures that hung above each bed, the windows that showed the darkening sky. The sky was rapidly turning grey at the second. It was Juvia's doing, the heavy drops of rain hit the windows with a splat, and they were strong. Something caused by her emotions. Gray doubted she could control them right now.

"If the baby lives, Juvia cannot raise it. She will love it, but she can care for it, Juvia is not ready. Juvia knows she was sounding harsh before, but do not be mistaken. Juvia would love the child if it was born and would do everything in her power to raise it. But that does not mean Juvia is ready to give birth, or raise a child. Juvia understands that if a child came into this world, you would want it. Juvia would not deny you that. But you're not ready either"

Gray looked at her and nodded, a small hope was fluttering inside his chest. A small chance that his child was still alive. He wanted to believe it … and part of him did, but he did not wish to get his hopes too high. But he was already clinging to the prospect of having a child.

A small and quick nod was heard at the door, Wendy quickly filed in, and Porlyusica followed quietly behind, with an agitated look on her face. Like, she was forced to be here. The room was quiet again and Juvia and Gray tensed. They didn't know what to expect next, were they about to find out what was happening? Their minds were in shambles, they had no idea on what to do. Wendy looked awkward, the small sky dragon felt out of place in the room. She, herself had no idea. The first time she had to enter the room earlier was help heal whatever pain Juvia was in, so now, she had no clue why she was dragged along. She really could see no point. So she focused on the stone floors on the mean time.

"W-what's going to happen n-now?" Gray croaked out, stuttering he moved to Juvia's side. This was the closest they had been since Gray laid her down on the bed. Her hand searched for his, Juvia's eyes never once leaving Porlyusica's.

"Were going to do some test on her, check her blood and such, the very mundane things first. And then comes in the real task, we need to know what happened to that child. You're too early along to use a pregnancy test, so I borrowed Wendy here to find out" She sounded appeasing almost when she spoke of the young girl. She her face turned red and eyes bugged when she looked at Juvia … she thought maybe she was having a nutrition problem and fainted from exhaustion. She had never … suspected this was the case. And on the other hand … This was Gray, a guy who was on her team and she sees every day, he was only a teenager. She had maybe thought that two were intimate, but she never entertained the thought, and now Juvia's pregnant and Gray was going to be a father! Her whole world see to change a little, Gray was like her brother. Hell, he was her brother. They were family. But on the outside, Wendy was merely making a 'O' with her mouth and looked astonished. Her thoughts inside never escaping.

"And do I have to do anything?" Gray wanted to be useful, it was all up to the women in the room now, he was useless, and all he could do was … well, nothing. Gray was in a powerless situation here. Juvia glanced at Wendy, see the small teen looking between her and Juvia's partner in astonishment. Locking their eyes together, the rain women gave her a small sad smile. Though Juvia's attempt at an encouraging smile was poor the little bluenette could see she was struggling to be brave at the current moment.

"No, your unclean and have no shirt on" Porlyusica snapped. She quickly set to work, checking how strong her vital signs were, since she was still weak, from magic and starvation Juvia didn't have much energy in the end. Porlyusica turned to Wendy expectantly.

"U-umm, what do I do?" Wendy asked nervously, Porlyusica was nervous and tense women to be around. She made you feel on edge, and disappointing her seemed like the wrong thing to do.

"Use your magic … see what you can find out" Without looking at Porlyusica she made her way over to the infirmary bed, the couple were still and tense, their hands that were joined together were in a death grip, their knuckles poking out sharply and were bone white.

Standing so she was right beside the rain women, she hovered her hand over her belly, unsure if it was okay to touch her, shakenly she placed her hand on Juvia stomach. This whole situation was weird, but she didn't have time to think about that.

She wasn't sure what she was meant to do … she couldn't just stand there touching Juvia. Wendy needed to be productive.

She let her magic flow through her body, absorbing it from around her, the air, the warmth … she let it flow through, till she felt it touch her chest, it was like a lightening feeling, like when you're happy and chest feels lighter. That's what the feeling was like. Controlling it she sent it down her arms, making the hairs on her arm stand on end as it passed, flowing into her palm and out the tips of her fingers it made contact with Juvia. Where her magic was flowing and hand was touching Juvia, it was all encased in a very pretty and light blue colour, it was soothing. If you looked where the magic and skin touched you couldn't. It was like a candle, the flam just above the wick floating it seemed. That's want it was like fir Wendy, it would appear a few millimetres above skin just hovering and glowing.

Wendy closed her eyes she focused on the magic, sending it through Juvia. It was inside her now, there was a small sigh of bliss from Juvia and she relaxed onto her pillows.

Wendy imagined the magic like a hand inside of Juvia, something that gently passed within her body searching, looking for a sign of life, somewhere.

She done this for a few minutes, running her magic around, she couldn't find anything. Opening her eye a little she was happy to see Juvia laying back with her own eyes closed, Gray sat very still, watching Wendy with very intent eyes.

Wendy pulled back her magic hand back defeated, her magic retracting, she looked up in Gray's eyes to shake her head in defeat. Gray's head sunk low, his eyes covered by his hair.

Juvia opened her eyes to look at Gray's, but he was turned away.

Wendy felt guilty. She couldn't sense a life within. She pulled her hand away from Juvia, when she felt the tiniest pulse of life within her.

The smallest peace of energy in her. Snapping her head up grinning.

"Hey guys ….. How do you feel about twins?"

Authors note.

I'm sorry it took a day or two longer but, better late than never.

I have questions.

Did I make many spelling mistakes, I go back and spell check (I promise you I do) but because I know what the next word and sentence is, my eyes seem to skim over them even though I try really hard to focus and go slowly through them.

I have a Poll go vote!

I have an Instagram account dedicated to this fanfiction account called 'fairtglitter101' and if you are unfortunate enough and want to follow my personal one, look in the fanfiction one, I probably mentioned myself in one of the pics.

Mini Natsu is next story to be updated.
