Chapter Eleven(no one's POV)
Natsu and Lucy walked down the pathway back to Magnolia, not much conversation going on.
Starting to feel akward, Natsu thought he'd start a conversation. "So...we'll be in Magnolia tomorrow." Natsu said awkwardly.
"Yeah." Lucy said monotone not even flinching.
They continued to walk in silence for what seemed like hours. Lucy nearly tripped over a root but quickly shook it off. She seemed so out of it it started to bug Natsu.
"Ok Lucy what's wrong?" He asked worried.
"Yeah." She replied monotone.
"Lucy!" He shouted and came to an abrupt stop in front of her. Grabbing her attention immediately. "What's wrong with you?" He questioned.
"Sorry...I was just...thinking..." Lucy said quietly, still abit lost in thought.
"About us?" Natsu whispered. Lucy nodded and looked down at her shoes as if they were the most interesting thing in the world.
Should I tell Natsu the truth? Should I tell him he's Ara's father? He deserves to know. But how will he take it? Will he understand? Or will he freak out and yell?
All these questions kept nipping at Lucy like some damn bug. She was so distracted she didn't notice that Natsu face was a mere inch away from her face.
"Kya!" Lucy screeched in surprise. "What are you doing?!"
"Well you kept zoning out when ever I talked to you." Natsu scratched the back of his head. "You wanna tell me what's going on in that head of yours?"
Lucy looked away but still felt Natsu's burning stare. She sighed. He deserved to know but not here.
"I'll tell you over later." Lucy said, still not looking at him.
"Well ok, but don't forget."
(Let's check on Kai and Ara)
Where the hell is that brat?!
Kai searched all over the city for the little maggot but still couldn't find him. He checked the house, the guild and even asked Levy about it, but she didn't know where he was either. It's like he disappeared off the face of earthland.
I'm gonna kill that little creatine next time I see him!
Kai never liked the kid since they met, but put up with it for Lucy. Personally, Kai couldn't care less if the kid disappeared and never came back. But he knew Lucy would hate him if something happened to her brat while he was supposed to be watching him.
"Where are you?!"
"Don't you think it's about time you go back home?" Happy asked Ara.
Happy had come across Ara while he was leaving the guild. He had just met Lucy's kid yesterday at the guild when Kai dumped him on them so he could go grab a beer.
"I don't what to go back, he's there." Ara sniffled. Happy sat down besides him in front of Magnolia's South Gate Park. Where Ara played with his mom and her friend Natsu.
Ara didn't like Kai at all. He was scary and mean. He liked Natsu a lot better than Kai. And not just him, he could tell mama liked Natsu to. Way more than that other guy. He didn't understand why mama wasn't with Kai instead of him.
"Hmm...we'll why don't you come to my place?" Happy suggested.
Ara's face brightened up as he nodded his head and ran after Happy. Together they headed to Natsu and Happy's place.
"So...you gonna tell me what you were thinking about earlier?" Natsu asked. Lucy was just sitting there and have been doing so for the past 15 minutes. Clearly trying to avoid the topic.
"Well it's not really all that important." Lucy lied. "Why don't we talk about the ichihime vs ichiruki debate? I think Ichigo should be with Orihime." Natsu was starting to get tired of her trying to get of the topic.
"No. Tell me what you were thinking about!" Natsu demanded.
Lucy sighed knowing it was pointless to argue. "It's about Ara..." Lucy started but was cut off.
"What! what's wrong with him?!" Natsu interrupted.
"No no! That's not it!" Lucy shook her hands. "Natsu...have you ever wondered who's Ara's father is?" Lucy inquired.
"Well ya..." Natsu grunted. "How could I not."
"..."
"Lucy...what is it?"
"You Natsu...are Ara's...father." Lucy finished. "You have a son."
Well that's a rap. Sorry it took a while, I knew what I wanted to write but just couldn't write it down. What do you guys think? Kai's an asshole that's what I think. Sorry the chapter's so short. Favorite, Follow, Review~
