BlackLynx17: What the hell? Was the first thing I though when I finished reading the newest chapter of Fairy Tail. Lucy came back from the future?! Midna3Niwa called me and said, it was just like what happened in your story Are You My Daddy?! Maybe Akiyuki will come back with her?

I laughed at that but was suprised, I did not expect that robe person to be Lucy... she on the other hand did which made me a little mad. Maybe if she would have told me, I wouldn't have been so surprised.

Either way thanks for you're reviews, I enjoyed them.

Are You My Daddy?

Chapter 14

"Ah... ah... oh!" I hissed.

"Need some help?" Cappy asked flying into the bathroom.

I shook my head, "I'm almost finished here" I said.

She nodded and flew back out. I finishing dabbing the alcohol on the cut on my arm and bandaged it up. 4 bruises and 2 cuts, one on my shoulder, another on my forehead. Just great, now I had to walk around with two bandages on my head... that was the least of my worries though. I picked up my old clothes and dug inside my pocket. Why did Cappy have this? How would be a better question. How did Cappy have this?

"Momma?"

I threw the thing into the trashcan just before Akiyuki entered.

"Yes?" I asked.

"I need to pee" she said.

"Oh" I said getting up.

I picked up the trashcan and walked out with it.

"Why do you have that?" Cappy yawned landing in one of my drawers.

I looked down at the trashcan...

"I need to take it out?" I asked.

Cappy yawned again and licked her nose.

"Don't tell anyone what you saw today" she said.

"About Pantherlily being your Father?" I asked.

She meowed.

"So Lily's alive?" I asked.

Cappy glared at me before rolling around, "stop questioning the future" she mumbled.

I sighed, "good night" I mumbled walking into the kitchen. I placed the trashcan onto the table and started digging through it. I needed to hide this, where though? I opened one of my cabinets and picked up a cup, placing it in there, then putting the cup back into the cabinet. I guess that would have to do for now. It was out of reach for Akiyuki and maybe Cappy if she didn't fly. When I walked back into my bedroom I saw Akiyuki laying in my bed. I joined her and laid next to her.

"You okay Momma?" she asked.

"Yes Akiyuki, I'm fine" I said

"Good" she mumbled hugging me.

I held her chin up, "can you look at me Akiyuki?" I asked.

She did and started staring at me with her glistening eyes. I knew, I had a feeling I always knew since the first time I looked into her eyes. I ignored it though, shoved it back into the deepest part of my mind.

"Momma?" Akiyuki asked blinking.

I pulled her close to me, my silent tears streaming down my face.

"I love you Akiyuki, so much" I cried.

"I love you too Momma" she said.

I love her, I love my daughter. We've only been together for a short time and yet... I choose her. I choose Akiyuki. How could I not choose her? I gave birth to her, I raised her and took care of her. I might not have done it now but I know I would have in the future.

"Momma?"

"Go to sleep Akiyuki" I said.

At least one of us should be able to have a good night's rest. I didn't fall asleep that night, I didn't even try to. I'm sure even then I wouldn't have been able too. I had a ruff day ahead of me, a very ruff day. How was I going to do it though? I couldn't that's how. My body became numb, somewhere through the night my tears stopped falling. I was out of tears. I wished the sun would never rise that morning, I wish Akiyuki and I would have been frozen in this night for all eternity. But no, the world didn't work like that, I couldn't have been so lucky.

The sun rose like every other morning... It wasn't like every other morning though. Natsu wasn't sleeping next to me. I wasn't going to wake up screaming his name, he wasn't going to kiss me to make me stop. Happy wasn't going to tease us about liking each other and the three of us wouldn't go to Fairy Tail like always. Never again would that happen. Hours passed before I started to feel the slightest bit of tiredness. Finally when I closed my eyes to try and rest, the pounding on my door woke me.

"Momma" Akiyuki mumbled.

I opened my eyes and sighed, the clock on my night stand said 10 am. I stayed awake all night thinking and now I had to pay the price. I rose up from my bed and carefully tried to maneuver my way out of the covers. Who was it at my door? I couldn't do this right now, I couldn't. I wasn't ready, I wasn't strong enough, please let it not be him, please God you owe me this much.

"Hey Lucy! I just got back" Natsu cheered.

... I took a deep breath and exhaled through my nose.

"Sorry did I wake you and Akiyuki uuuppp, what the hell happened to you?!" Natsu yelled.

If Natsu was back that means Gray and Erza were too. Be strong Lucy, be strong. I slowly lifted my hands up and unwrapped Natsu's scarf from around my neck.

"Take it" I said holding it out to him.

Natsu looked at me, an expression I could only describe as a mixture of confused and hurt.

"Wha-"

"I'm sorry, I can no longer be your girlfriend Natsu... we should break up" I said looking anywhere but him.

I started rubbing my shoulder, waiting for something, anything. No, I was waiting for him to leave. I didn't want to see Natsu anymore, I never wanted to see him again! How could I do that though?! I love him!

"You don't mean that" Natsu said.

I took a step back and looked at him.

"I do! I completely do Natsu! I can't handle this anymore, I can't be with you!" I yelled.

"Then why are you crying?!" he yelled.

Why else would I be crying for? Because I'm sad!

"Lucy?" Happy mumbled from behind Natsu's shoulders.

"You can't mean that Lucy! This is just one of our stupid fights right? We'll yell like usual and then we'll be okay" Natsu said shaking his head lightly.

"Don't do this to yourself Natsu" I whispered.

"Look whatever it is I did wrong I'm sorry, come on Lucy tell me this is just a joke? Your kidding right Lucy? Luce?"

"Just leave Natsu!" I yelled.

Natsu reached out and crushed me against his lips. I could feel his hurt and neediness in the kiss but I couldn't respond. I pushed him away and slammed the door on his face.

"WE'RE DONE! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU EVER AGAIN! LEAVE ME ALONE!" I screamed behind closed doors.

I leaned against the door and let my tears fall freely, slowly sliding down on the floor.

"Lucy! I know you don't mean that! Lucy! Lucy!" Natsu yelled pounding on the door.

"YOU'RE NOT THE FATHER!" I yelled.

Everything paused. I didn't want to tell him, he wouldn't have left though. The words... just slipped out. I felt a sudden thud against the door.

"I- I'm sorry" Natsu said.

My eyes widened and I froze. I listened to his footsteps walk away, once I couldn't hear them I started crying out loud again. I hugged myself and cried out my pain. Natsu, I'm sorry Natsu. I'm sorry, I truly wanted for you to be her Daddy, I did!

"You have to continuously make choices throughout your life"

I flinched and looked up. Cappy stood in the hallway staring at me.

"Whether it's made consciously or unconsciously, by making a choice means that you must've also given up on something. If you don't hold any regret in your choice, that means you must've made the right decision" she said.

"I regret it though! I regret it so much!" I cried.

Cappy shook her head.

"You feel that way now but when Akiyuki's born you won't" she said.

I stared at Cappy.

"I take it you figured out who her Daddy was?" she asked.

I nodded.

"And after seeing that scene, I'm guessing it wasn't Natsu"

I chocked a sob.

"You two can still be together you know" she said.

"How though?! I just broke up with the first man I ever loved!" I yelled.

"After Akiyuki's born, you two can still end up together" she said.

"Are you kidding me? How could he still want me after I had a child that isn't his?!"

"Luc-"

"I betrayed him! I broke his heart and had a baby with another man!"

"He loves Akiyuki"

"But she's not his child!"

Cappy sighed and turned away.

"The hardest parts done now, all you need to do is get together with the Father and have Akiyuki. You'll see in the future if Natsu really loves you enough to still be together" she said.

"I wouldn't want to be together with him though... how could I after doing such an awful thing to him?" I asked.

"I don't have all the answers Lucy, I'm just a cat. Fix yourself up, Akiyuki's in the bathroom crying right now because of your argument with Natsu" Cappy said before walking off.

I sat on the floor for a few minutes longer wiping my face off. Once I had myself under control I stood up and started making my way to the bathroom and knocked.

"Akiyuki?" I called out.

I heard her sniffing in the bathroom.

"Everything's okay Akiyuki" I told her.

"Lies!" she yelled.

I sighed.

"How would you like to see Daddy?" I asked.

This made her open the bathroom door wide open.

"Daddy?" she asked.

I smiled, for her.

"Uh huh, I bet you know who it is too don't you?" I asked.

Akiyuki blushed and shook her head side to side.

"You don't? Well come on, let me introduce you to him" I said holding out my hand.

Akiyuki took it warily and smiled.

"Daddy"
