Chapter 11

Lucy's P.o.v

Erza stared at me, then at Jellal, then back at me again.

"B-But Lucy!" Erza stuttered, keeping her sword up, looking as if she was about to cry. "He killed Simon! You know this! You were there with me!"

That was when he started crying. I smiled and walked up to her giving her a comforting hug.

"Erza, you know that there is good in Jellal." I reasoned. Erza clenched her sword.

"I know." she sighed.

"I found that out when I ran away." I smiled. "Jellal took me in without even a second thought. He brought me into his group like all of you did when I first came here. He treated me like family."

Erza clenched her sword even harder than she had earlier.

"What about Meredy and Ultear?" she asked warily.

"I chased away Ultear, since she was bullying Lucy way too much, then Meredy followed her." Jellal stated.

Erza gave Jellal an evil look.

"Then why have you come back here?" she asked. I frowned. Everyone stared at me.

"We came back because our house had been burned down." I said getting a little teary. "We all almost died."

Erza's eyes widened.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know." she paused before opening her mouth to speak again. "Maybe Jellal really has changed."

I looked behind Erza, and saw Marcorov, smiling. I smiled back.

"Erza." I said walking over to her and putting my hand on her shoulder. "It's ok."

Erza stared at me, then started to cry. I caught her in my arms.

"It's ok Erza." I comforted, running my hand through her long, red hair.

"I'm sorry Lucy, it's just I haven't seen you in forever." Erza sobbed.

"I know." I said in understanding. "I was gone because I had found a family of my own; Jellal, Dylan, Jace, and Nellie. I love them with all of my heart."

We both smiled at each other.

"Hello Lucy." Marcorov greeted me, walking over to where Erza and I stood.

"Hello Master." I smiled releasing from the hug.

"I see you have another family that you love. Like Fairy Tail, you have vowed to protect the one's you love." He smiled. I smiled back.

"Yes sir! I will do anything to protect both of my families."

"Then Fairy Tail welcomes your family!" He smiled. Cheers erupted from the guild and I heard glasses clink in celebration.

"Thank you." I whispered.

Jellal's P.o.v

Wow. I can't believe the old man is letting me stay. And Lucy. I can't believe she would risk her life for mine. Well that's not the first time, and this isn't going to be the last. Dylan and Jace walked up toward me with their hands up. I sighed and put both on my shoulders. They both started giggling. I followed Lucy inside Fairy Tail. I looked inside, it was beautiful. I kept following Lucy, setting the boys down as I sat down beside her. Lucy handed me Nellie as I kept smiling. I started cradling her.

"So Jellal's not evil or anything?" I heard a voice say. A young girl with short blue hair walked up to where Lucy and the rest of my family sat.

"Levy!" Lucy exclaimed in shock. "Why would you think that?"

The girl named Levy sighed.

"I don't know, but since that day when I saw Jellal, I saw evil." she muttered.

Lucy put her hand on Levy's shoulder.

"It's ok Levy, he won't hurt anyone in Fairy Tail or any guild ever again. That changed when I met him." she reasoned. She looked at me smiling, and I of course blushed out a smile. Levy smiled with her.

"YOU!" I turned around. There was that pink haired salamander.

"What?" I asked.

"You still have to finish the fight you started! Now!" He demanded. I sighed.

"Natsu, I'm sorry, but I don't fight anymore. At least, not unless I have to."

"WHAT?!" He screamed. "How?"

"I lost my will to fight," I stared at Lucy. "When I married Lucy"

I then showed him my ring. He stood there in silence, gawking at the sight of my ring.

"Lucy?" He said looking at Lucy. "Is this true?"

She nodded.

"We don't fight anymore, unless it's absolutely necessary."

"But Lucy..." Natsu said.

"Natsu." Lucy warned. "I'm ok with it. I feel a bit happier."

Her warm smile made everyone's hearts light up like fire, even my own. Before anyone could say anything, the old man said calmly and seriously.

"Lucy, can you please come to my office for a couple of minutes?" he asked. She nodded then looked at me.

"I'll be back. Can you watch the boys and Nellie for a bit?"

I nodded, putting Nellie in her stroller. She smiled then walked up the stairs. When she entered the doors, I got punched in the face, falling out of my chair. I was bleeding a bit.

"WHAT THE HECK?!" I yelled. Natsu and two men with black hair, one shorter than the other, stood there with their fist in their palms.

"You didn't finish your fight back there, so were gonna finish it right now." Natsu growled.

"I wanted to beat you up ever since Natsu came back." A man with raven, shaggy hair said.

"I'm just here for the fight." The other man said with black hair and piercings.

"I said I don't fight anymore!" I said standing proudly.

"Well, your gonna have to fight us whether you like it or not!" Natsu yelled.

Lucy's P.o.v

I sat down in a chair in front of Master's desk. He stared at me and I smiled back.

"Lucy." He said.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Are you sure Jellal is good? He may be tricking you to get into Fairy Tail." He asked in a serious tone. I stood up from my chair.

"Of course he is! I am married to him, and I have three kids that he has granted to me! If I didn't trust him, then that wouldn't have happened!" I yelled.

"Now, Lucy." He said. "I was only asking because I was deciding to let him join. He hasn't done anything to hurt anyone."

He smiled and I smiled back.

"Well, thank you." I smiled. I heard something. I turned around to see Dylan and Jace standing there crying.

"Dylan. Jace. What happened?" I asked looking scared.

"Daddy!" Was all they said. My eyes widened. I ran out the door and jumped door to the first floor, Marcorov taking the steps.

"JELLAL!" I yelled as I found him blocking from punches. He was then shot down by Natsu.

"JELLAL!" I pushed the older boys aside. I knelt down to find blood pouring out of his body. I started crying.

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!" I yelled at them tears pouring harder. Nellie started crying. The boys sniffled a bit. They were speechless.

"What happened?" Marcorov asked as he pushed people aside until he got to Jellal and I. He took a good look at Jellal and then said.

"Take him to the infirmary, Lucy." I nodded and helped him up. We walked upstairs to the infirmary, and the sounds of my sobbing echoed through the guild walls.

Marcorov's P.o.v

"ALRIGHT!" I shouted. "WHO DID THIS?"

Silent whispers flew around the room. Levy walked up.

"Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel did this. Natsu wanted to finish the battle from back then. Gray wanted to fight him since Natsu did. Gajeel just wanted another fight." she explained.

I walked over to the three boys.

"Why on Earth would you fight someone, when they don't want to fight anymore?" I asked. They stood silently. After moments of silence, I said;

"When you have an answer come to my office where you will be punished." I slowly walked away.

"Master." Gajeel said as I stopped in my tracks and turned around. "I did it only for the thrill of fighting."

"Thank you for telling the truth Gajeel, your punishment will be a bit worse, but I'm still mad at all three of you." I snarled.

"I did it because ever since Natsu came back, he has been bragging about how he fought Jellal." Gray said. "So I wanted to fight him to see if it was as great as he said."

"Thank you Gray, but you still shouldn't have. Then there leaves Natsu. Why did you do it?" I asked.

"I did because..." Natsu gulped before continuing, "He didn't finish the fight he started, so I wanted to finish it."

"Natsu you really don't understand, do you?" I asked.

"Understand what?" He asked in confusion.

"You had already won, but you just wanted to try again this time since you found out he didn't fight anymore." I explained. "And when I called Lucy in, you found your chance to fight him. And it was the wrst possible timing, since he has just arrived here!"

Natsu was quiet for a good two minutes.

"Master, why did you call in Lucy?" he asked. I smiled.

"I asked her if it was ok with her if Jellal could join Fairy Tail because he hasn't done anything yet, until you started fighting him." I said.

"WHAT?!"

Hope you liked this chapter. This was a longer chapter than the rest but isn't better? Leave a comment after the story. Oh by the way, I think I'm on a typing strike. On Chapter 9 and 10, I wrote those on the same day. This typing strike will probably end this week on Saturday, maybe. Again I hope you liked this chapter. See you next time on Lucy Ever After. Bye.

Hi Hi! It's been a little while since I updated the chapters for (YOU). I've been in camp all week AND my computer has been really slow lately. At any rate, this chapter has been edited with minor grammar, spelling, and detailing errors. Enjoy and I'll be updating my own stories either today or tomorrow for all of my FanFic fans out there :)
