Also congrates to Pantherlily1 for the 250th follow and Puppylove7 for the 300th review.


Chapter Twenty

The group Master Makarov had sent stood there beyond confused when they arrived at the scene before them. The whole guild hall had collapsed but one thing that confused them was the fact Rogue had Sting pinned to the ground. But one thing that really worried them was Lucy.

"Lucy!" Everyone called out her name as they ran towards her. She was lying on the ground unconscious. She had very few wounds but she looked physically exhausted which relieved them somehow but the wounds didn't seem to be dangerous.

Wendy ran towards the blond as fast as she could and began to heal her. Erza being curious on what happened grabbed Sting from under Rogue by his collar and held him up and looked into his sad blue eyes.

"What happened here?" She growled. Sting closed his eyes and shook his head saying he didn't want to talk about it and he somehow got out of Titania's grip and ran towards Lucy. Erza then sent a looked towards Rogue, sighing he began to explain.

Rogue was beginning to get concerned. The guild hall was in shambles there was that much attacked being thrown between the two fighting mages that he had Lector and Frosch to leave to a safer place so they wouldn't get hurt. Noticing something different with Minerva's defensive pose he ran over to the scene as quick as he could just as Sting was about to land an attack on Minerva her body disappeared only to have Lucy replace her spot. Rogue had barely been able to tackle Sting to the ground before Lucy had been hit with Sting's deadly attack.

As they hit the ground Rogue looked up to see Lucy fall down into the rumble. He heard Sting let out a feral growl as he was pushed off the blonde and Sting went to charge at Minerva who was behind them but Rogue dragged him down to the ground again.

"Do you want to risk hurting Lucy?" As he said this Sting tensed and muttered something under his breath. He stole a glance at Lucy and his eyes widen. She had a few cuts on her fragile looking body, she looked so exhausted as well, it was as if someone had drained away all of her energy. When that thought crossed there minds Rogue and Sting looked in the direction to where Minerva was only to find that she had disappeared.

"Where did that bitch go!" Erza growled out, she knew that Rogue didn't know know or else he would've said something and Sting wouldn't be here right now.

"We'll leave that to the magic council... But we have to take care of Lucy right now." Mira said worriedly, biting her lip nervously she looked at Wendy hoping she could do something.

"She'll be okay. Something drained the small amount of magical energy she had left – this is because of the pregnancy – and because of this it left her exhausted. Due to that she had collapsed and fallen asleep. I healed the cut she had received but other than that she is fine." They heard someone let out a strange sound – which to some of them sounded like a cry – and looked at Sting who had been holding her hand and now he was hugging her like she was his lifeline. Erza smiled at this, she didn't think Sting could be so caring. Sting kept on saying things like 'thank god you and our baby are okay' or 'I am sorry I got you into this mess'.

Natsu looked at Lucy's stomach, it was large. Proof that she was indeed carrying a child and the white patch of scales on her neck showed that she was Stings mate. The fire dragon slayer closed his eyes and let it soak in. His heart felt like it was being ripped out of his chest and stomped on. He turned and face in another direction. Yes; he was glad Lucy was safe but he was so sad the even though she was going back to Fairy Tail; he wouldn't have a chance with her, the girl he had realised he loved. It hurt like the time he woke to find that Igneel had disappeared and almost like the time Lisanna has 'died'. Opening his eyes Natsu looked at the sunset with sad eyes, he would just have to move on and just be happy that Lucy was happy.

Gray looked over his shoulder to look at Natsu, he looked so sad. Gray let out a sigh and closed his eyes, sure he and Natsu didn't have the best friendship but he knew that Natsu had feelings for Lucy so this was obviously hard for him to see. This was going to be a long ride home.

I got 32 reviews for the last chapter and I was so happy. XD I would love to see you review again. Also still contemplating on whether the baby should be a girl or boy. Also I remember someone asking why I didn't want there to be twins well I am no good when it comes to naming things or stuff like that and I couldn't be bothered thinking of two. :L Lame excuse I know but yeah, that's my reason.
