Author's Note: Okay, for starters, I'm fully prepared to have you all despising me for not updating since only god knows when, I really do apologize, I had some seriously upsetting family issues, some changes to my lifestyle from my school's sadist teachers, the fact I was kinda forced off line for a while… And to top it all off, I had to move in with my Grandmother just a week before my laptop decided to crash on me and I had to buy a new one… I kid you not… The world is despising me since I last updated… so without any further ado, I present to you, the 14th chapter of Thunderstruck.

Lucy's POV:
Two months went by problem free, I was left 4 months pregnant, and a newly successful authoress… I sighed as Mirajane poured me my most favored drink in the world a strawberry, peach smoothie… I sipped on it as Juvia and Gray played with Ai at their own table Juvia smiled at me happily as I hummed softly sitting with them at their request…
Mira, had pulled over Natsu, Lisanna, Juvia, Gray, Levy, Wendy, Elfman, as well as Erza, among other Guild members before they nodded and Mira walked up with a big smile on her face.
"Lucy, guess what?" She asked perkily.
"What'cha thinking about Mirajane?"
"The Guild and I here have decided on something…" She said with a small smirk.
"Well, what is it that you have in mind?" I asked now very curious about what it was that they had in mind.
"Well we were thinking of throwing you a baby shower Luce." Natsu weaseled the information to me. I gasped.
"What do you not want us to?" He asked looking hurt as I shook my head.
"No, no, no! That's not it! It's just, thank you so much you two!" I said happily hugging them both tightly.
"I never thought that' you'd ever you know do this kinda thing for me, thank you so very much you all!"
I said feeling so happy I could cry…
"Well then, we best buy you some other clothes Lucy, that Baby Bump is posing quite the problem for your normal clothes don't you think?"
She asked with a small giggle as I blushed looking down at my stomach which has increased in size by at least four to three inches over the past three four months.
"Yeah, probably but I have no idea what I'm supposed to look for besides something cute... Bisca then stood up with a small smile…
"Lucy, I'll go with you, heck I'm sure Asuka will come she adores you, you know." The green-haired, gun-slinger her smile stunning as well.
"That'd be great Bisca, thank you so very much…" She said so happily.
Bisca shook her head with a smile. "It's alright, in fact it's a pleasure to help you out, you've done so much for everyone, even Laxus, I'm surprised he ever opened up to anyone!"
Shrugging with a blush I responded sheepishly…
"It wasn't that big of a shock to everyone was it?"
I asked embarrassed by the fact that Laxus was in fact so kind to me publicly, and more importantly, how he cherished being with me when he could and when we both realized how much the other cared. Meanwhile the others nodded in agreement with Bisca unsurprisingly to me.
"This is true…" She mumbled and sighed as she stood up, "Come on Lucy, let's go, we need to get you the stuff that you can wear, it's not healthy to keep looking at your clothes as they get smaller on you." She explained.
Lucy nodded and continued to walk till they reached a place for the maternity clothes…
After a few hours she had to sit down completely exhausted as he sighed and yawned softly before sitting down carefully, and looked at the food around…
"Bisca, I would like to get lunch, god, I swear ever since I've been pregnant, I want the weirdest foods…" She complained.
"Well, after this I'll take you out to lunch… Gray, you are welcome to come, Lisanna, Juvia as well… you know exactly where we are going."
"To..."
"Yes!" Bisca said excitedly.
I sighed. "Anyone care to explain to me?"
"Oh! Right, a new restaurant opened up in Magnolia when you were writing and dealing with the publications and what not. The restaurant's specialty is feeding pregnant women. You crave it, they make it. Is the logo, they are life savers."
Juvia nodded as did Lisanna.
"How about the three of us—"
"Luce! I wanna go to! Why can't I come?!" Natsu whined like a child.
"Many reasons… You burn or break things, and unless you wanna have Lucy, Lisanna, and Juvia attacking you under hormones, I'd say no."
Natsu pouted but nodded.
"Alright… Hey Lucy… Virgo's back by the way… she has a letter…"
"I'll read it when I get back." I responded and left with Bisca to get clothes then food…
oo0oo
We arrived to the place we agreed on for food after a long day of me being on my swelling, aching, blooming ankles… And I'm craving one hell of a thing for me to eat.
Sitting down where Juvia and Lisanna were we sighed and looked more at the food.
"I wanna Peanut butter and Jelly…"
"They have that Lucy."
"Nooo, one with LOTS of flavors…"
"Then try one called PB&J 2.0 it's really good!"
"What's it got?"
"Well one side is lined with three horizontal lines, one containing jelly, one with honey, one with marshmallow crème. Then the other side has vertical lines one of chunky peanut butter, one of Nutella, and one of creamy peanut butter, it's just delicious!"
I took a bite and smiled. "Oh my god this is amazing!"
"See I told you it would be good." She teased me and I pouted.
"Don't tease the pregnant lady."
Bisca sniggered. "I don't mind…" She laughed and smirked. "I got teased too for how I was pregnant you know… Brat so come on get home soon you'll be exhausted in a bit trust me." She assured.
oo0oo
I got home eventually late that evening and she was right… I was physically exhausted.
"I'm home!" I called hoping vainly for a response…
"We're in here Luce!"
It was Natsu and Gray they called from my bed room and I just let myself facepalm.
"Oooof course you're here…" She admitted after a moment.
"I know but hey Luce… Virgo gave this to us. She says it's from him…"
I gulped.
"I-It is?" I asked and grabbed it and tore it open flopping ruthlessly onto the bed to read it.
It read some of the most heartfelt words I've ever heard from him…
Dear Lucy,
Heh, who am I kidding I have no idea how to write you a letter but, I bought your book, it's great babe, nothing less I expected from you… I think you've done great but really you thought I was a heartless bastard when we first met? Well I can believe that… I wasn't very nice to anyone was I? But, I love you, you know… I find it kinda funny. Also, they better not be sleeping in the bed with you. Gray and Natsu that's just not fair to me are you kidding me that's just unfair I mean who even does that besides them for crying out loud! You don't just invade someone's home and then sleep in the bed with them… Then again Natsu's uncultured. But Gray that fucking exhibitionist! I swear to god he's just a little bastard! He doesn't even care if I'm working he'll just rip his clothes off in the blink of an eye and I don't trust him with you even if Natsu's with Lisanna and Gray's with Juvia, you're my woman and I'll be possessive of you no matter what because I care about you… even if I'm being ridiculous… I'm possessive, I'm greedy and I want to be with you… But I just… I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna be home before the baby's born I swear I'll try, I will write for you to the best of my abilities… As I continue this hell. Sayonara…
Love,
Laxus Dreyar
P.S. Gray, Natsu if you're reading this, I swear I'll show her that picture from the last party and the egg nog contest… trust me, I still have it!
I blinked.
"What is he talking about here guys?"
"DON'T ASK A SINGLE FUCKING QUESTION! FORGET IT AND GO TO BED LUCY!"
They both yelled and I just blinked.
"Okay well I'm going to bed so you two have to get out or sleep in the bed with me… I personally don't mind it, I personally love it when you two do because I don't like to be alone…"
"I see… makes perfect sense though alright Natsu this'll be fine yeah?"
"Y-Yeah…" Natsu chuckled nervously and sighed.
"We should be fine shouldn't we?"
"Yeah…. Pretty sure…" Gray confirmed.
"Come on you two I'm pregnant! I'm tired, and I'm a hormonal bitch!" I warned and they jumped ten feet at least.
"Ohhh brother…" I muttered under my breath.
"You two are pathetic…" I called after them getting into my bed.
