After ages, I'm finally back with another chapter! Yipee! I wrote half of this chapter then got writer's block then got really close to ending the chapter but couldn't figure out how to end it. Sorry about that! Thank you to those of you who have stuck with me and my taking forever to update.

"Erza, time to get up," Jellal whispered softly, gently shaking my arm. Little did he know that I had already been awake due to feeling nauseous once again. I slowly turned towards him, trying not to upset my stomach even more. He lightly kissed my nose, and I smiled, flinching slightly as I hadn't been expecting it.

Jellal chuckled, "Alright, let's get ready for work."

I nodded, slowly sitting up. As I sat up, I realized I couldn't avoid upsetting my stomach much longer. I quickly got up and headed to the bathroom. When I got to the bathroom, I knelt down by the toilet and threw up. I threw up a few more times after that.

Jellal appeared in the doorway moments later, holding a glass of water. He waited until I finished puking to give me the water as he knelt down next to me.

"You doing okay?" he asked as I quickly drank the water. I nodded and finished my water.

"Good," he smiled slightly, "Get ready for work, and I'll make breakfast."

"Alright," I murmured, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but no cake or I'll throw up again."

Jellal chuckled, "So I finally get to make you a real breakfast?"

I smiled slightly, "Yup. You get to make me an actual breakfast for once."

Jellal smiled, and we got up off the ground. I made my way to our room while Jellal made his way to the kitchen.

I took my time getting ready - carefully changing into my work clothes and slowly brushing my hair, taking my time to get through each snarl. When I was finally ready to go, I left the room and came across the amazing smell of eggs and bacon.

Jellal greeted me as I entered the kitchen, and I smiled, murmuring a greeting as I sat down. It wasn't long until he placed a plate in front of me, sitting down next to me as he did so. We ate in silence. I smiled at how amazing the food tasted.

When we finished eating, we took care of the dishes and headed to work. As far as we knew, nobody else was taken. Jellal and I were silent for the first few minutes of the car ride to FTBI, but Jellal eventually broke that silence.

"Okay, so I know this is probably a weird time to bring this up, but since you're pregnant, you've had to go to the doctor's a lot, haven't you?"

"Well, I currently only have monthly doctor visits, so I've only gone once so far. My next appointment is in a few days," I explained, slightly hesitant as I tried to remember the exact date of my next appointment.

"When do you get to find out the gender of the baby?" He asked, curiosity getting the better of him.

I smiled slightly, "Not for a while."

"Hm… Have you thought of any names?" He pressed, briefly taking his eyes off the road to look at me.

"You're really curious," I noted as we pulled into the parking lot of FTBI.

"Well of course; we're going to be raising this kid together," he replied, a small smile on his face as he pulled into his usual parking spot. We got out of the car and walked towards the building.

"When do you plan on telling everyone?" Jellal asked.

"I'm not sure," I responded, stopping where I was. Jellal stopped and turned to face me.

"What's wrong?" he questioned.

"I'm scared of how they'll react when they find out. I don't want to be treated like I'm weak or something…" I mumbled, looking down at my feet.

"Erza, these are the most understanding people we know," he started. "They won't treat you unfairly. The most you'll have to deal with would probably be people looking after your health a little more, and you wouldn't be allowed in the field as much."

I slowly nodded, "You're right… As usual. I'll have to tell them soon because it'll start getting obvious anyways."

He kissed my forehead, "It's your choice as to when you tell them."

"Okay… Thank you, Jellal. For everything," I whispered, hugging him.

"No problem," he murmured. "Now, let's go inside before we're late for work."

We headed inside and went up to the cafeteria to visit everyone. Ultear and Meredy were sitting across the room and cheerfully talking to Natsu. We walked over to them and sat down at their table; they didn't seem to notice. Instead, they just continued talking.

Apparently Natsu was planning on proposing to Lucy. When they finally noticed we were there, Natsu seemed to get even happier.

"Jellal! Erza! Do you have any ideas as to how I should propose to Lucy?" He instantly asked.

Jellal shrugged, "Sorry, I don't know. I proposed to Erza while we were on vacation; it was the first time I had gotten her out of the hotel."

Natsu frowned then looked to me expectantly.

"Sorry, Natsu," I apologized. "Have you tried asking Mira for advice?"

"She gave me a lot of complicated answers," he sighed.

Before any of us could respond, Gajeel came over to our table with a worried look on his face.

"Have any of ya seen Levy?" He asked, surprising us. Normally he called her 'Shrimp' or 'Shorty'.

We all shook our heads.

"Haven't seen her all morning," Meredy replied.

"Did you check her office?" Ultear questioned.

"Maybe she's sick today," I suggested, actually hoping that was the case.

Gajeel sighed, "She ain't in her office, and I already asked Mira if she called in sick. She didn't."

"Maybe she's just late," Jellal tried, and I could hear the worry in his voice.

"Guys!" Lucy called, quickly heading over to us. "Levy isn't answering her phone. It just goes straight to voicemail whenever I call her."

"That's not good…" I muttered more to myself than to anyone else. We all immediately started discussing what each of our tasks were.

Lucy and Gajeel were in charge of going to Levy's house to make sure she wasn't lying somewhere there and dying. Ultear and Meredy were in charge of checking the area near Levy's house to see if anyone saw or heard anything. Natsu was in charge of checking with people along Levy's route to work. We also had to talk to Macao to see if he could try to track Levy's phone. Meanwhile, Jellal and I started filling out the paperwork needed.

It was best to get at least some of the paperwork out of the way right away. Of course, we didn't have all the details though, so it didn't take long. After getting the paperwork out of the way, there wasn't much we could do except wait until the others gave us information.

My phone rang, and I checked the caller ID. It was Ultear. I answered the phone, but Ultear didn't speak to me for a few minutes. I could hear Ultear and Meredy talking to each other, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. At first I was tempted to just hang up, thinking she accidentally called me. However, I then heard what sounded like sirens. Meanwhile, Jellal was trying to get me to tell him what was going on because apparently the look on my face told him it's probably really important. I didn't speak though since I wasn't entirely sure either.

"Erza?" Ultear finally spoke.

"Yes?" I responded, nervously biting the corner of my lower lip.

"Don't tell Natsu yet, but…" She hesitated for a moment, "Lucy and Gajeel were attacked while they were checking Levy's house. They're going to the hospital as soon as the ambulance gets here. Oh, and Levy isn't here."

"Okay," I replied, struggling to stay calm. "You and Meredy take care of things there. Jellal and I will head to the hospital and wait there until we can question them."

"Alright. Be safe," Ultear replied before ending the call.

"You too," I mumbled, setting my phone to the side.

"Did they find Levy?" Jellal instantly asked, and I shook my head. He asked, "Then who is in the hospital?"

"Lucy and Gajeel should be on their way to the hospital shortly. I heard sirens while I was waiting for Ultear to say something. Gajeel and Lucy were attacked when they were checking the house. Levy wasn't there," I responded.

"Well, let's go," Jellal said grimly as he stood up. I got up and followed him down to the lobby and out to his car.

It was a couple hours after we got to the hospital before we could visit Lucy and Gajeel and question them. Jellal went to Gajeel's room, and I went to Lucy's.

Lucy wasn't in good condition. She was hooked up to quite a few machines, and she had stitches and bandages on her arms, chest and neck. She flinched when I opened the door to my room, and her heart rate went up. She calmed down though when she saw me.

"Hey Lucy, how're you feeling?" I quietly asked, walking over to her bedside.

She slightly smiled, but her smile seemed forced.

"Great," she murmured, her voice hoarse.

"Natsu doesn't know you're here yet, but when he does find out, I guarantee he'll be here as much as possible," I stated.

Lucy nodded, "You want to know what happened to us, don't you?"

I frowned, "Yes, but if you don't wa-"

"Don't worry. I'll talk about it. After all, it could help us find Levy," Lucy interrupted. She then began to explain to me how she and Gajeel had gone to Levy's house and found a mess inside her home. It wasn't the usual few books just scattered here and there either. There were mountains of books toppled over - even a couple of bookcases. At first, she and Gajeel had thought that maybe Levy was having trouble finding a certain book and got buried under one of the book piles, so they started digging through the books. When Lucy turned the corner to one of the bookshelves she was hit by something. Gajeel had tried to help her after hearing her scream, but he too was attacked. Then the knives came.

"Th-They somehow managed to- to d-disarm us, and- and," Lucy was shaking so I decided to cut her off.

"Okay, that's enough, Jellal is getting information from Gajeel right now, so that should clear up any blank spaces. If not, I'll have to question you again, and we can pick up where we left off," I stated.

Lucy nodded but didn't say anything more. My phone rang, and I answered the phone without checking the caller ID this time.

"Hey Erza, where is everybody?" Natsu's voice yelled into the phone, startling me.

"Oh um…" I looked to Lucy questioningly.

She sighed and quietly mumbled, "Tell him."

"Well, Jellal and I are visiting Gajeel and Lucy at the hospital," I quickly muttered. Natsu didn't say anything. There was a long pause of silence before I heard what sounded like the phone hitting something; I only say that because the noise was louder than it would be had he thrown something else. The sound was then followed by muffled cursing.

There was another long pause of mostly silence except for a few background noises.

"Be there soon," Natsu's voice broke the silence before he ended the call.

"Natsu's on his way over," I stated. "I need to go talk to Jellal for a minute."

Lucy nodded, and I left the room to find Jellal sitting in the hall. He looked up upon hearing me.

"How long have you been sitting out here?" I asked, sitting next to him.

"A few minutes," he shrugged. "I figured I'd let you finish talking to Lucy on your own. Gajeel said he didn't remember much - probably from blood loss."

"Lucy mentioned there was more than one person," I commented. "We have Cobra in custody, so what I'd like to know is who is this other person?"

Jellal nodded, "Now that you mention it, Gajeel did say something about there being another person as well. Who could it be, and what are their motives? I mean, we sort of know Cobra's reasoning…"

"I want to interrogate him again," I decided, and Jellal looked at me like I was crazy.

"No way," he shook his head. "The last time you did, you almost killed him."

"Jellal, we have to get answers from him. It could be the only way we solve this case," I argued.

"I know; we need to solve this case. However, I'm looking after your mental health, Erza," Jellal retorted. "You know just as well as I do that Cobra knows how to get under your skin. I'll find someone else to interrogate him."

I frowned, "Fine. You do have a point…"

Jellal put his arm around me, "I'm glad you agree. Now, what did Lucy say about what happened?"

I told him exactly what Lucy told me, then he explained the few things Gajeel had remembered. It didn't seem like we were missing any information. While Jellal and I started trying to decide who would be best to interrogate Cobra, Natsu came running down the hall.

"Erza! Jellal! How's Lucy doing?" He struggled to catch his breath as he got to us.

"She's fine and waiting for you," I responded.

Natsu ran into Lucy's hospital room, and I sighed.

"We both know how Natsu will react if we have him interrogate Cobra," I mumbled. Jellal agreed, and we sat there in silence for a while.

"Maybe Makarov will know who the best person would be," Jellal suggested halfheartedly.

"Call him," I responded. "It's worth a shot."

Jellal nodded and dialed Makarov's number, getting up and moving a few feet away from me to talk on the phone. While Jellal was on the phone, my phone rang. I answered the phone to hear Gray talking really fast, and the only words I caught were 'Juvia' and 'missing'.

"Gray, slow down," I sternly replied, causing him to stop his rant. "Okay, now repeat what you just said."

"Juvia's missing. I haven't seen her at all today, and at first I thought maybe she slept in, but it's almost one in the afternoon, and Juvia never sleeps that long, so I called Ultear and some of the others to see if they knew if she was sick or something… and- and- and nobody has heard from her since last night. I'm on my way to her house now to see what's going on."

"Okay," I responded, waiting for a moment to see if he was going to add something else. "Be careful. Levy's missing too, and while Gajeel and Lucy were checking her house, they were attacked. Jellal and I will be there soon just in case, okay?"

"Alright," Gray bitterly replied. He ended the call before I could say anything else.

I got out of my seat and walked over to Jellal. His back was toward me, so I tapped his shoulder. He twisted around and gave a small smile as he must've been listening to what Makarov was saying.

"Juvia's missing," I whispered.

Jellal nodded before speaking into his phone, "Makarov, I'm going to have to call you back."

He ended the call without waiting for a response then looked to me expectantly.

"Gray's on his way to Juvia's house; I told him we'd be there soon," I quickly informed him.

"Are you sure it's okay for you to go?" He inquired.

"Of course," I answered. "Why wouldn't it be?"

He gave me the look that said, 'do you seriously need me to tell you?'. I just simply gave him a confused look in return; I really didn't realize why it wouldn't be okay for me to go.

"Gajeel and Lucy got attacked while at Levy's house; if we were to be attacked, you don't have just your own life to worry about… Or did you somehow manage to forget you're pregnant?" He explained.

I had forgotten, but it's not like we had many people to spare.

"We don't have much of choice," I argued, not admitting I had forgotten I was pregnant. "Two of us are missing, two are in the hospital, a good number of us are still working on Levy's disappearance, and the rest have other cases. There really isn't much of another option because if only you go and Gray was attacked before you get there, then you're on your own and could end up in the hospital as well."

Jellal hesitated for a brief moment before sighing, "You're right, let's go."

That's all for now! Hopefully, I'll have the next chapter ready sooner! Anyways, please leave a review and let me know what you thought! Have a good day/night!
