Hey guys... I'm alive... I am so sorry... I feel so bad for not updating in 2 months. T.T I would've updated like a week ago but I went to Coochiemudlo Island with a friend and I was unable to update. I tried to make this chapter long but I only got 2,139 words. You can yell - well type in caplock... - at me for taking so long. I am just so sorry for making you wait for so long. Also, I am on the last day of my 2 week school holiday... I have 8 weeks of school then another 8 weeks off. Then I start year 12. T.T

Also, I have some bad... or good news depending if you like this story or not... But the next chapter will be the last. T.T But don't worry I am actually starting up another StiCy story, it will be M rated because of the plot line... But if you are interested I will put the summary in the next chapter, along with the title, I know what it is going to be called but I may or may not have it uploaded when I update next. I just need to plan out how the story will be. I know what it will be called and yeah... I don't really know when there will be romance but I am hoping it is longer than this one.

I would of updated way earlier today but someone reported one of my stories because the content was not appropriate for the rating... I must add it was M rated and I have read much, much worst stories that were more full on but no. Someone had to report it causing it to be removed which has enabled me to upload for a while as well... I am still raging about that because I liked that one-shot, it was first time writing a story with that content but no, someone had to report it... T.T It was the first Rogue and Lucy lemon too... ): Feel my rage guys... feel my rage...

Chapter Twenty-Five

It had been two and a half weeks since Sting had confessed and the guild could tell that the soon to be parents were even happier than before. When the blonde had told Mira about what Sting had said the guild found out in no time. But now that Lucy was due any day now the couple had stopped coming to the guild, much to the females dismay. Despite this Sting had promised to send Lector to the guild when Lucy went into labour.

I love you too...

Sting couldn't help but think over the words that she had said in reply to his confession, the words he had focused on the most were the ones he had wanted to hear the most. He looked up at Lucy who was sitting on the couch in front of him, she was smiling down at him but when he stopped his movements she frowned at him now starting to feel the cramping start-up again, which had stopped after his soothing touch.

"Why did you stop?" she asked with a pout.

"Sorry, but I am just so happy." he said as he continued to rubbed her stomach in a relaxing motion. She sighed in content at this but cringed a few moments later when the baby kicked. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, it's just now that the baby is bigger the kick hurts more than usual." Sting sighed in relief, lately he hadn't been getting much sleep because he was sort of afraid for her to go into labour. He had been told that Magnolia had the best doctors but he still couldn't help but worry for Lucy. Sting also knew that Lucy was a strong women but anything could happen during child-birth and he was afraid to lose Lucy or their child or even possibly both.

"Sting, what's wrong?" shit, she must've seen my face.

"Nothing to worry about. Everything will be fine." he gave her a reassuring smile. Lucy looked at him with a curious expression but then sighed knowing how stubborn he was she wouldn't be able to get him to tell her what was wrong. Lucy got up in annoyance, groaning as she did so. "What's up?" he asked, concerned.

"I need to go to the bathroom, again." she made her way down the hall as Sting watched and the stood up only to sit down onto the couch as he waited for her to return. "My back hurts, damn it." he heard her whisper to herself as she made her way back into the entertainment area.

"You alright?"

"Yeah, I am fine. The baby just keeps moving and my back is sore." Sting watched his mate with a worried expression as she winced, he felt useless as he watched her face scrunch up at the pain as she extended her arm to lean on the wall so she could keep standing.

"Lucy..." he walked over to his mate, as he reached out to comfort her she gasped loudly and slid to the ground.

"S-sting... I think..." she paused taking a deep breath. "No, my water just broke..." she told him as she let out a groan as she hit her head against the wall at the pain. His eyes widen at what she said. "I-I'm in labour... Take me to hospital now..." she let out a wail of pain.

Sting looked at Lucy with a worried expression, she hadn't stop shrieking from the pain. The doctors have told her she wasn't ready to push yet, they had been in the hospital for a few hours now and no improvement. It hurt Sting to see Lucy in so much pain, he wished he could do something but he knew he couldn't, it was all his fault if she hadn't gotten pregnant she would be in this state... But if she didn't get pregnant they wouldn't be together and he wouldn't be in love with her.

He shook of his thoughts as Lucy let out another wail. Looking down at her, he noticed the sweat that had covered her face making her hair stick to her skin. He saw her chest rise and fall with her

staggered breathing, he just wanted to hold her and tell her she was going to be alright. But he knew his words would mean nothing as he knew he could do nothing to sooth her pain.

"S-sting." she whimpered; looking up at him from the corner of her eye.

"Yeah."

"Why?" this caused Sting to raise an eyebrow at her? Why what?

"What do you mean?"

"Why did you have to do this to me?" she paused flinching at another contraction. "You owe me big time, you bastard." Blinking slowly at her statement he nodded, not wanting to particularly piss her off in her condition.

"I'm sorry that you have to go through this but just think positive, when this is over we get to see our beautiful child." With that said the door opened, revealing their doctor.

"Don't push yet."

"Please, just get it out!" Lucy howled in pain. Sting cringed at the strong grip that threatened to break his hand.

"You should've trimmed your nails before this Lucy."

"The contractions are almost over Miss Lucy." a nurse reassured her.

"Almost, god! Please just get it out." she shrieked. Sting winced as she shouted, sometimes he really did hate his keen sense of hearing. His eyes widen when he brought down to Lucy. "You listen to me, I am never going through this again. I'd rather go without the touch of a man for the rest of my life than have another child." she threw him aside with her unknown strength that sent him to the ground. She screeched at the pain as she gripped onto the sheets of the hospital bed.

"Okay, Miss Heartfilia. Now comes the hard part, try to stay awake. You'll be able to rest afterwards." the obstetrician told her.

"Hard? No way! It can't get harder than this." she spoke back in fear.

"It'll be okay Miss Lucy. I had a baby a while ago. It's fine, there isn't anything to be scared about. Just think about this, once this is over you will be able to see you wonderful child." one of the nurses reassured her. Lucy suddenly tensed up in agony, she reached out to grab Stings hand – who was now standing next to her again.

"Miss Heartfilia, you are ready to push."

"Oh, thank god!" she shouted out with some relief.

"Okay, one-two-three, push. Ready? One... two... three." the doctor instructed.

"Ah! Fucking hell, that hurts." Stings eyes widen at hearing her use such vulgar language. "Ow, damn! This burns, oh fu-" she paused and then let out a scream.

"Hurry, can someone clean up the blood."

"What happened to her?" Sting asked in horror.

"It's almost over." when she stated that, Lucy collapsed back on the mattress her head hitting the soft pillow. "It was a tear." Sting placed his hand on her arm, rubbing the skin trying to calm her.

"It'll be over soon. Just try to stay awake."

"Are you alright Lucy?" Sting asked as the nurse tried to clean up the blood.

"Just tell me when it's over. I just wanna rest. What's the time..." she trailed off, her breathing calming down as her eyes beginning to close.

"Lucy..." Sting whispered her name, tone filled with worry.

"Nurse get him out of here. We need to put her under."

"Under what?!" Sting shouted.

"Get him out of here!" the doctor shouted in frustration. As ordered, occupants in the room dragged him out of there. When he left the room he saw a flash of pink, turning he saw Natsu.

"Oi, Sting. What's going on is she okay?" the fire mage asked worriedly.

"Excuse me sir but could you keep Mr. Eucliffe out of the room until further notice?" nodding at the request, though with a curious expression.

"Sting what's going on?" Natsu asked as he shook his guild mate.

"Yeah, Sting why are you out here?" a voice came from behind Natsu. Turning his head slowly he saw his long-term best friend.

"R-rogue." he looked at the ground, not knowing what to say.

"What's wrong with Lucy and the baby?" a feminine voice echoed through the hall. Looking up he saw Erza along with other Fairy Tail members standing from their chairs in the waiting room.

"I don't know, there was blood and then Lucy got tired and then... the doctor told me to leave the room. I have no... idea." Sting didn't know what to think, what to feel. Is this what is was like when you feel completely helpless, knowing that no matter what you can't help those who you care about.

"I love you. I would have told you sooner but I couldn't think of a way to say it. I have been thinking for weeks now for the perfect way or the perfect time but for some reason now seems like the right time. So I just wanted to know that I love you Lucy and I always will." Lucy stared at Sting with teary eyes, a smile on her lips.

"S-sting." she couldn't help but smile even more, Sting was looking at her as if he was recording each moment to memory. She gave a small laugh and looked up at him. "I love you too."

There was a long silence, everyone processed the words Sting mumurred. They had almost not heard them. Could Lucy not make it or even worst could they also loose the newest member to their family. Another thought came across when they saw Sting, if this was what he was like when she was in danger what would it be like if she had died, along with their child. Worry began to fill the Fairy Tail members until, the door slammed open and there stood a nurse.

"Mr. Eucliffe could you please come with me." Sting slowly made his way to the female doctor and followed her with the door shutting behind them. As they went further down the hall Sting could hear the cries of a baby, pausing he turned to look at the obstetrician he noticed the smile on her face as she gave him a nod. With that he ran down the hall stopping at the door he knew that his child and mate was behind. Placing his hand on the door knob, he twisted it opening the door to find Lucy lying in bed, her eyes closed. Looking next to the bed he saw one of the nurses sitting on a chair with a small baby that was wrapped around with a blue blanket.

"Is that..." the female nodded and stood up, walked over to the blonde and passed him his child, holding him in his arms like he had learnt to by the books he read. Looking down, he saw his sons crying face as he held him the cries stopped as the small baby opened his eyes. He had the same eyes as him, cobalt blue.

"Your son is gorgeous. Your girlfriend should wake up soon. Until then you can sit down with your baby." she bowed slightly and left the room closing the door behind her. Sting could help but stare at his sons face, he could see so much of himself in him. Looking over at Lucy he gave a smile and made his way over to the chair that was placed next to her bed. Hearing a sound from the bundle of joy in his arms he saw his baby boy looking at him, his mouth slightly open showing his toothless gums. He reached down and lightly poke his son on the cheek, as if automatically the infants hand opened up and he wrapped his tiny fingers around his index finger. Sting smiled gently at the baby, his hand could barely wrap around his finger. Letting out a small laugh the babies hand wrapped around his finger tighter, causing Stings smile to widen.

He was so happy, this was worth the wait. Looking up at the bed, taking his eyes off the child for a few seconds he saw Lucy sleeping peacefully. Bringing his attention back to boy in his arms he saw that he had brought his finger to his mouth, laughing slightly at his son he realised that he was the happiest he has ever been.
