Lucy's POV

It's been 5 days not being at the guild. So far, I found a job, and an apartment. I got a job as a waitress. Guess where? The diner that I took Natsu too when we first met. They hired me on the spot.

After an 8 hour shift, I walk across the street to my apartment. I unlock the door and sit down on my couch. Couch? I got up and looked around. "All my furniture is here!" I clapped my hands together.

"Sorry I didn't get here sooner. People were being a pain at the guild." Gray emerged from the other room. He came up and hugged me and sat down on the couch.

My smile dropped when he mentioned the guild. I moved over and sat with him on the couch. "H-how is everyone?" I choked out.

Gray looked up. "Everyone is fine. Natsu isn't. He vows to search for you though."

"Oh."

"He won't ever look here. He's too much of a moron to search the place you both first met." He chuckled. "Changing subjects now, how's your work?"

"Works fine. I get paid pretty good. So i'm not complaining. I'm going to pick up small jobs around the town also with my spirts."

"Lucy, don't strain yourself. You're about 6 and a half month pregnant now. You shouldn't even being working."

"I know I am. I just want this baby out in the world already! I need to support her also." I wrapped my hands around my stomach. I think about what she'll look like when she comes out. Pink hair? Blonde? I secretly hope she'll have pink. It'll look nice. I smile at the thought of actually holding her. Hearing her laugh. Hearing her cry. It hit me that I really am going to be a mother. Something I didn't expect for another 10 years.

"She'll be here sooner than you think. Just enjoy the time right now. You have peace and quiet! Bisca and Alzack told me they never got a chance to sleep. Enjoy the time you have now, Luce."

I smiled at Gray. "I should." I got up and walked to the room that will be Layla's. "Gray!" I yelled. He rushed in the room. "What, what's wrong?" He said.

"The The room..." I looked around. It looked exactly as it did when I left. The walls were pink, the rugs were all on the floor. Her crib was set up. The dressers and closet was filled with baby supplies. "Did you do all this?" I asked as I walked around the room.

"Yeah. I had help from Loke though." He chuckled.

"Really now?" I smiled and took out Loke's key. "Open! Gate of the Lion! Leo!" Loke popped out of the air. "You called?" He fixed his suit and hair. "Ah. I see you came home. How do you like it? I did most of the work. Stripper over here kept losing his clothes." Loke laughed.

"Oh! You too! It's perfect! Thank you so much." I began crying. I don't know why though. It kind of overcame me. Stupid pregnancy hormones. I pulled them both in for the a bear hug.

"Luce...baby...and...I...can't breath..." Gray gasped for air.

I let them go. "I'm so happy you guys did this. Thank you so much."

Loke and Gray stayed until nighttime. I cooked us dinner and we laughed and joked the whole night long. I began feeling tired and began nodding off. Loke said his goodbyes and left.

"Hey.. Lucy..go to bed." Gray helped me off the couch and brought me to my bed. He helped me in and placed the blanket over me. "Thank you Gray." I smiled at him.

"I'm going to head home. My train comes in about 45 minutes. I'll be back in two weeks okay? I'll see you then." He said. I watched him walk up to me and kissed me on the forehead. "Good night Gray."

All I remember is him walking away and me passing out.


Natsu's POV~

I woke up around 12 in the afternoon. Everything still isn't month and 5 days is it now? This is the longest i've been without Lucy in years. It feels weird not waking up in her apartment...or going to her apartment for breakfast. It's just so unreal.

Happy crawled up on the bed and sat on my chest. "Can we go to the guild today? I wanna see Carla and see if any good missions are out for us."

I sighed, "I guess we can. Just let me shower, then we'll leave." I took Happy off of my chest and got up. I grabbed a towel and my clothes and head for the bathroom. I undress and turn the shower on and step in. The hot steam first hit me and then the boiling hot water. I let the water sink into my skin and melt my insides. The water felt like hard rain, and I liked it. I washed and got out and changed into my normal outfit.

I walk out of the bathroom and find Happy. "Hey, you ready to go?"

"Aye, sir!" Happy took out his wings and flew next to me.

We walk to the guild with only small talk between each other. I was quite happy we were going to the guild. We need to get some more cash and I need to talk to people. Maybe even fight Gray.

We walked into the guild and it was rowdy as ever. Happy saw Carla so he flew to her, while I went to the bar. "Hey Mira!" Natsu said in a cheerful voice.

"Natsu! I thought you died! How are you?"

'I'm good. Can I get something to eat? I'm starved!" He said with a smile.

"I'll make you your spicy hot wings!

Mira came back five minutes later with his food. "Thanks Mira!"

I ate the food Mira gave me. It had to of been a good while since I ate something hard, or actually ate something. As I chowed down on the wings, I smelt something. Something that smelt like Vanilla. It was her sent. It was Lucy's scent. My body completely froze. She's back? I managed to turn my body around, to see her. But she wasn't there.

Gray was.

I watched him walk over to Erza and smile. Anger filled my body. Why was he smelling like her? Why?

"ICE POP!" I jumped out of my seat and landed on top of him. I gripped his shirt and pulled him closer to my face. The guild went silent and watched us.

"Why...Why do you smell like Lucy?" I raised one fist up and it filled with flames. "Tell me!" I shouted.

"I just came back from seeing her." He said with the calmest voice. By this point, I was filled with pure anger.

"Where is she?"

"She told me not to tell anyone."

"Tell me!"

"She told me not to tell you! Respect her damn wishes. You wouldn't be in this mess if you didn't leave her."

"What did you say?"

He pushed me off of him and I fell to the floor. I watched him get up and dust himself off. "You left her for a whole month. Every day I was over there watching her cry over you. You should've stepped up and not left her. It was her decision to leave. You ruined her. She doesn't need to make herself stressed over an idiot like you."

I watched Gray walk away and out the guild. I sat there just completely in shock. "Did I really leave her in such a wreck?" I thought to myself.

I got up and ran to Happy, "You said you might know where she was?"

He finished chewing on his food. "I think. I'm not positive. I think I heard someone talking about it. But I don't think I remember."

"It's fine. We'll go all around Earthland looking for her. And we won't give up!" I put my hand out for Happy to high-five (paw?) me.

"Aye sir!"

Happy and I ran to the job board to look for a job.

We look at the jobs and the first one I spotted was the one I we had to go too.

"Look, It says 'help my granddaughter move her belongings to my house. She'll be at the edge of Magnolia, and will have to be brought too Ansternon. WILL BE REWARDS 70,000 JEWEL' this job will be perfect!"

Happy nodded his head and brought the slip to Mira. I waited for Happy to come back to leave the guild.

We stopped by at home to back clothing and grab some money for the trip. I opened the front door and yelled at Happy. "Hey, you ready? I need to get Lucy back!"

Happy flew to me and we left for our journey. Operation: Bring Lucy Back!


A/N: Heya guys!

This chapter does suck kinda. But it will get good! And there will be more of Lucy in the next chapter!

Ohhh...I wonder what this granddaughter girl is (the town and girl are fake and make up by me...and I don't own Fairy Tail!)

I can't wait for the baby to arrive!

(thank you all for all the support! I've been dealing with a lot and all your comments really did make my day (i cried!) so thank you sooo much!)

I love you!
