Lucy woke up with her head pounding. She groaned and rolled over in bed. She felt someone beside her, which, for some reason, she assumed to be Gray. She snuggled up next to the person. After a second, the person put his arms around her. She was about to drift off to sleep, but she realized that the person wasn't Gray.

Lucy's eyes shot open. The first thing she saw was a bare chest. She noticed that she didn't have a shirt or bra on. She squeezed her eyes shut and screamed. She was scared, after all. The next thing she knew she was flipped over with the guy on top of her, a hand over her mouth.

"Are you trying to wake my family up?" the man asked. Lucy recognized the voice.

"R-Rogue?" Lucy stuttered, opening her eyes. She was so confused. Why was she half naked in his bed with him also half naked? And why was she even at his house? She looked and saw that he was only in his boxers, and she was only wearing her underwear. Her face turned tomato red.

"You are such a pain," Rogue sighed. He rolled off the bed and grabbed one of his shirts, throwing it as Lucy. She mumbled her thanks before slipping it on. "I'm assuming you don't remember last night?"

"Do I want to?" Lucy asked.

"I would think so. I mean, personally, I would like to know when I'm about to do something very stupid when I'm drunk," Rogue said. He laid back down on the bed. "After I took Yukino home last night, I figured that you might need a ride home, too. So I go back and find you and Sting, well, you know, 'getting it on.'"

"R-really?" Lucy stuttered nervously. She almost did something very bad and very serious!

"Yeah, so I separated you two. Sting got mad and tried to chase me. I figured he would attack me if I stayed, so I took you with me. He likes to fight when he's drunk. I'm not sure why. You wouldn't tell me where you lived so I had to bring you to my place. And of course I tried to put a shirt on you, but you kept yelling and struggling. I just let you go to sleep like that," Rogue explained.

Lucy let out a sigh of relief. Nothing happened with Sting or Rogue. Well, something did happen with Sting, but it was interrupted. She was wondering if Sting remembered. She sure didn't.

"Do you want me to take you home? My parents are at work right now. I don't have to worry about them questioning us," Rogue said.

"Yeah, I should probably get home. My maids must be worried," Lucy said. She followed Rogue out to his car. He actually didn't live too far from her, so the ride was short. She thanked him one last time before heading inside.

"Miss Lucy, you're home. That's a relief," Aries, her most trusted maid, said. She was more like a friend to Lucy. All her servants were, but the two were especially close.

"Yeah, I stayed at a friend's house," Lucy said. She wasn't entirely lying. She walked through the mansion with Aries following.

"Miss Lucy, I hope you don't mind, but I let a friend into your room. I insisted that he waited for you downstairs. He assured me that it was fine. Please forgive me," Aries said.

"Don't worry about it," Lucy said. She thanked Aries before going inside her room, shutting the door behind her. She was a bit surprised to see Gray sitting on her bed. He was reading an old magazine he must have found in one of her drawers. She didn't really mind that he looked through her stuff. It wasn't like she had anything to hide.

"Oh, you're back," Gray said. He set the magazine on her nightstand.

"I didn't know you were coming," Lucy said. She nervously pulled down Rogue's shirt. She realized that he must have given her one of his old ones. There was no way that it fit him. It would only go down to his belly button. She sort of wished that he had given her a longer shirt, though.

"What, no hug?" Gray asked, holding his arms out. Lucy giggled and climbed over to him. He didn't even question the shirt she was wearing. It was just plain brown and fit her like any of hers would have. "I missed you." He nuzzled his nose against her neck.

"Hmm, I missed you, too," Lucy said. She was happy to see him again. Guilt was eating away at her. She wasn't sure if she should tell him about the night before or not. She was drunk, though, so it's not like she meant to do anything with Sting.

"I heard you've been sick lately," Gray said. He started planting little kisses on her neck. He was making it hard for her to concentrate. She ended up just nodding. "Well I'll make you feel better." He started nibbling on her earlobe.

"Gray," Lucy laughed. Her ears were very ticklish. He knew that all too well by now. Her head started to pound again. She tried to ignore it and just concentrate on what Gray was doing, but that plan failed when her stomach twisted. "Gray, stop."

"Hmm, what if I don't want to?" Gray mumbled against the skin of her neck.

"No, really." Lucy pushed away from him. She moved so she was sitting beside him.

"Is something wrong?" Gray asked. He was getting kind of worried. His fears of her not wanting to be with him anymore came back.

"I'm not in the mood," Lucy mumbled. She was rubbing her temples, trying to get the pain to go away. That was just one more reason that she wished she didn't drink that night before. She was wondering if the cheap alcohol Sting had was making her stomach hurt.

"Oh." Gray didn't really know what to say. It sounded to him like she really didn't want him there. He moved to leave, but she reached out and hugged him arm.

"No, don't go," Lucy said. He sat back down. She sat in between his legs and leaned against him. She put both his hands on her stomach under her shirt. "My stomach hurts."

"So you have been sick," Gray laughed. He wasn't sure if the maids were serious or just trying to get him to leave. He started to rub small circles on her stomach. That was making her feel a little better. He placed a long kiss on the crook of her neck before resting his forehead on her shoulder.

Gray flinched slightly. "Lucy?" he asked skeptically. "Why does your shirt smell like cologne?"

Lucy was sort of saved. Before she had time to answer, she was running to the bathroom. She felt Gray move her hair to the side almost instantly. He was gently rubbing her back. It didn't take long for her stomach to be completely empty. She started crying after that.

"Aw, Baby, why are you crying?" Gray asked, hugging her. She shook her head and hugged him tight. She didn't know why she was crying. She wasn't even sure if she was sad or happy.

Something snapped inside Lucy. "You know what? I don't have to deal with this shit," she said. She abruptly stop up and stormed out of the room.

"What just happened?" Gray asked himself. "Mood swings much?" He sighed and went after Lucy.

"You seem to be settling in here pretty well," Rogue noted.

"Yeah, it's like you aren't a new stupid at all," Yukino laughed. She pulled a block. "Dammit!" The whole tower fell.

Yukino, Sting, and Rogue all were at Lucy's house just hanging out. It was Friday night, and after what happened the week before, they all thought it would be best to avoid drinking parties. None of them complained except Sting. He was the only one who didn't wake up with a hangover or have to deal with someone who did. So that led everyone to be sitting in Lucy's living room, playing board games. They were playing Jenga, but Yukino just ended the game.

"You suck at this," Sting laughed. Yukino shot him a glare.

"So are you feeling better?" Rogue asked Lucy. They all knew that she's been feeling sick lately. She actually threw up when they first got home from school.

"My stomach still hurts like hell," Lucy said, curling up into a ball further. She actually wasn't participating in the games. She was just sitting on the couch. Everyone understood.

"I think you should go to the doctor," Yukino said. "You've been really sick. You might have come down with something serious."

Lucy flipped to the other side of the couch so she was leaning on Rogue. Sting and Yukino were on the floor, so she couldn't curl up by them. "I'll be fine. But now I'm really cold," she murmured. Rogue put his arm around her to try to warm her up.

"That's totally not fair," Sting pouted. "Rogue gets to be all cuddly with you but I kiss you one time and I get the cold shoulder."

"That's because Rogue isn't an asshole," Lucy snapped.

"There you go being mean again," Sting sighed. "I never can win with you, huh?"

"Sit on the couch and I'll sit with you," Lucy said, being nice again. Sting smiled and hurried onto the couch. She crawled over and cuddled up against him. He was way warmer than Rogue, so she was happy that she got to sit with him. The blanket around her shoulders was barely doing anything for her at all.

"Lucy Heartfilia!" Jude snapped angrily, entering the room. "I can't believe you! This is outrageous! A maid just informed me that you've been spending time with males since you've been here! You even came home with nothing but a shirt on! Do you understand how that makes me look?"

"Father, I-" Lucy was cut off by her own yelp of pain. Jude picked her up by her hair ruffly. Sting was about to lunge at Jude but Rogue and Yukino stopped him. They knew it wasn't a good idea. Jude drug Lucy out of the room.

"I'm ashamed to even call you my daughter!" Jude yelled, throwing her on the ground. He kicked her in the side. "How am I suppose to entrust the company to you if you can't even present yourself properly?" He kicked her again, this time harder.

"I don't want your damn company," Lucy hissed. She knew that would only make him more angry, but she don't really care. She was screwed either way.

"You little bitch," Jude hissed back. He picked Lucy up by her hair again. He threw her against the wall, then stomped on her chest. She cried out in pain, tears flowing down her face. "You disgust me! Get out of my sight!" He kicked her hard one last time for good measures before leaving the room, most likely going back to his office.

"Lucy!" her three friends yelled in concern, running into the room. Yukino started crying. Sting clenched his fists and tried to calm down. He didn't want to go and rip Jude's face off. That would only get him in trouble. Rogue went over and helped Lucy up. She was shaking.

"Where are you hurt?" Rogue asked. Lucy gently pushed him away. He watched in confusion as she took her shirt off. They all gasped, seeing the dark purple marks all over her. "That doesn't look good."

Lucy started crying all over again. "I want Gray," she sobbed, falling to her knees. Rogue tried to hug her but she screamed and pushed him away. She only wanted Gray.

"Can I use your phone, Lucy?" Yukino asked. "I can call Gray and have him come." Lucy handed her phone over almost instantly. Yukino thanked her and quickly left the room.

"Gray!" Wendy squealed, trying to run from her brother. She laughed when he scooped her up. He threw her into a huge pile of leaves.

"Me next!" Romeo cheered, holding his arms in the air.

"I think I want...Mystogen!" Gray yelled, picking up the unsuspecting boy. He just laughed as he was thrown into the leaves as well.

"Gray, I'm the only one that can kill him," Jellal said, chasing after his brother.

Jellal lived on a huge property. All of his friends, along with Mystogen's, came over to play outside. All the older kids brought bags of all the leaves in their yards. Combined with Jellal's mass amount, they had a huge pit of leaves that stacked almost ten feet high. When someone laid in it, though, it smoothed down to only three feet.

"I think it's Gray's turn!" Ultear yelled. All the guys ran over and picked him up, throwing him in the leaves. They threw Levy in after him.

"You guys!" Levy whined, picking leaves out if her hair. She was actually reading a book under a nearby tree, but they wouldn't have it.

"Come on, don't be such a buzz-kill!" Gray laughed. He grabbed her and rolled around, making sure her whole head was covered with leaves.

"You're such a jerk!" Levy laughed. Gajeel helped her out of the leaves. Lisanna helped pick leaves from her hair.

"Why haven't we done this before? This is so much fun!" Natsu cheered. He jumped into the leaves. Laxus and Loke jumped in after him. Well, Loke was pushed. He wouldn't want his hair to get messed up, so he wouldn't go in optionally.

Natsu and Laxus started throwing leaved at Loke. Gray was about to join in, but his phone rang. He saw that it was Lucy, so he put the phone on speaker. "Hello?"

"Gray?"

Gray automatically knew that it wasn't Lucy. The voice sounded shaky and distressed, too. Everyone stopped laughing and talking at that point. "Who is this?"

"This is Yukino, Lucy's friend."

"Why do you have her phone? Is something wrong?" Gray shared the same worried look as everyone else.

"I'm with Lucy right now. She- No! I want Gray! Don't touch me!"

Gray stood up so fast a few leaves fluttered around him. He was surprised to here her yell through the phone. "What's going on?"

"Jude flipped out on Lucy and hurt her. She's crying and won't let us help. She keeps yelling for you. You have to come and get her. We aren't going to leave her until then, but she doesn't seem too happy about it. She only wants you."

Gray could see that Laxus was being angry. He probably knew first-hand how his father got. "Tell her I'll be there in an hour." He ended the call and shoved his phone in his pocket. He started walking towards his car.

"Gray!" Ultear yelled. She grabbed his shoulder and spun him around. "It's take at least two hours to get there! Please tell me you aren't going to speed the whole way there!"

Gray shrugged her hand off and continued walking. "I'm not leaving Lucy there any longer than I have to."

"Lucy, just let us take you to your room," Sting pleaded.

"No!" Lucy yelled. She was a crying mess.

Rogue pinched the bridge of his nose. "Yukino, will you at least go put a bag together for her? I'm guessing she's going to stay at Gray's." He was starting to get a headache from Lucy's yelling.

"I was already thinking that," Yukino said. She set Lucy's phone on the floor in front of her and went to find a maid so they could direct her to Lucy's room. She would just get lost if she went by herself.

"Lucy, Gray's coming," Sting said. "Will you please stop crying? Just let us help you." He kind of wished she would at least put her shirt back on. It was quite distracting.

"He's coming?" Lucy asked. It was as if she didn't listen the first fifty times they told her that.

"Yes, so why don't we go wait in the living room? He won't be able to find you otherwise," Rogue said.

Lucy sniffed and wiped her eyes. She nodded and let Sting help her up. Rogue picked up her shirt and followed the two to the living room. They all just sat on the couch and waited. It didn't take long for Yukino to come back.

They were only sitting there ten minutes before Gray came running into the room. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Lucy was alright. "Gray!" she cried, running over to hug him. He whispered soothing words into her ear to try to calm her down.

"It's okay. I'm here. I won't let anything happen," Gray said. "Just calm down. Everything will be okay."

"I want to go home," Lucy cried into his chest.

"I know, Babe. I'm taking you home right now," Gray said. Lucy smiled and looked up at him. He kissed her forehead. He went over and got the shirt and bag from her friends. "Sting? I said I would kill you if you didn't protect her, didn't I? I'm pretty sure this isn't her being protected. Make sure it doesn't happen again."

Gray grabbed Lucy's hand and let her outside. He was so angry he didn't even think to have Lucy put her shirt on before they went out in public. She didn't even notice, either. It was dark out, so it would be fine.

Gray actually went straight to Jellal's. He knew that everyone was patiently waiting for him to come back. She was asleep, though, so he had to carry her bridal style. He had her shirt draped over his shoulder so she could put it on when she woke up.

"Is she okay?" Laxus was the first to ask. He could see the bruises on Lucy as plain as day.

"She's okay," Gray said. Laxus let out a sigh of relief. "She's pretty shaken up, though. She cried herself to sleep on the way here."

"I think we should all go home," Erza said. "I think the fun's over anyways." Everyone seemed to agree, except for the kids. They all wanted to play longer. Jellal promised them that they could play another time. Everyone left after that. Ultear, Lyon, and Wendy rode together. Wendy originally rode with Gray, but Ultear convinced her to ride in her car.

Ur was hysterical when she saw Lucy. She was completely shocked at how injured she was. Layla didn't know, which was good for the moment. They would tell her the next day. Lucy was still asleep, and Gray was pretty tired, so he just took her up to his room.

Lucy woke up as she was being set down on Gray's bed. She started laughing. "Gray, you wouldn't believe it," she said. "I had this crazy dream that I had to move away from you. Then my father freaked out towards the end and he kicked me a bunch. That's crazy, huh?" She knew it wasn't a dream. She just hoped that if she said that, it would come true.

"I'm so sorry," Gray said. He sat down on the edge of the bed with his hands over his face. "I shouldn't have let you go. This is all my fault. I should have known that something like this would happen."

Lucy smiled sadly. She didn't like seeing him so worked up and upset. She put her arms around him. "This isn't your fault. It's no ones but my father's. Don't feel so bad." Gray just puffed out his cheeks and looked away from Lucy. "Gray?" He crossed his arms. "I love you~" She still got no reaction. She got down on the floor and knelt in front of Gray. When she grabbed his knees, that got his attention.

"Wh-what are you d-doing?" Gray stuttered, nervously looking at Lucy.

"You wouldn't look at me," Lucy said. She stood up and held his face in her hands. "Gray, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. Don't blame yourself for something neither of us has control over. It's just stupid." She kissed the spot right between his eye and nose. He kissed her on the lips and pulled her down to his lap. She really did miss him.

He instinctively put his hands on her waist, making her gasp out in pain. He instantly separated himself and looked at her with a worried expression. "No, I'm fine. You just touched a bruise. I'm okay," she said. She went to kiss him again but he completely dodged her. He made her lay back down.

"You really should take it easy," Gray said. He saw that she was about to object. "No, Lucy. Just lay down and try to get some rest. I'm going to go get some ice." He kissed her forehead and left to go downstairs.

The whole family was in the kitchen. Ur and Ultear were doing the dishes, Lyon was eating a bowl of ice cream, and Wendy was coloring something. They all looked to him when he entered the room.

"How's Lucy?" Ultear asked. She watched her brother take a couple ice packs from the freezer.

"She thinks she's better than she is," Gray laughed. He really didn't see why she was being so difficult.

"What's wrong with Lucy?" Wendy asked. "Is she sick?" Gray tensed up. He didn't exactly want her knowing.

Gray just smiled. "She's fine. She's just a little bruised up," he said. He quickly thought of an excuse as to why. "She was playing baseball with some of her friends in Oak Town. She got hit a lot. She's fine."

Wendy smiled, happy that Lucy was okay. "Can I see her?" she asked. Gray thought it was cute that she wasn't sure if she was allowed. He just nodded and took he upstairs with him. She waited outside the room before going in, just to make sure Lucy didn't mind having a visitor.

"I really don't need those," Lucy said, pointing to the ice packs. "I'm perfectly fine." She sat up and kissed him sweetly on the lips. "You're he only medicine I need. Just lay here with me and I'll be fine."

"Nice try," Gray said, making her lay back down. He set the ice packs on her stomach. She wiggled uncomfortably because of how cold it was.

"Lucy?" Wendy asked, finally coming into the room. She smiled when she saw the blonde. "I wanted to come see you."

"Then come see me," Lucy laughed. She held out her arms. Wendy giggled and jumped on the bed, crawling over. "I bet it's weird going from seeing me every day in the summer to not seeing me at all."

"I really missed you," Wendy said, hugging Lucy's arms. She didn't want to hurt her by hugging her waist. "Gray just mopes around all day. He isn't even that fun."

"I do not mope!" Gray defended himself. "And I play with you twice as often now!" He smiled when Wendy started laughing. He knew she was lying.

"You two never change," Lucy sighed, remembering all the times she witnessed Gray being the perfect older brother. Her happy memories were cut short when she felt her stomach twist. She hadn't gotten sick for almost a week. She thought the bug went away. She pushed Wendy away and ran out of the room, the ice packs falling to the floor.

"D-did I do something wrong?" Wendy asked. She looked like she was about to cry.

"You didn't do anything," Gray said, ruffling her hair. He picked up the ice packs and set them on his desk. Then he went to see were Lucy went. He found her in the bathroom. Ultear was standing beside her, holding her hair back.

"Poor thing," Ultear said. "Her father must have kicked her pretty hard to make her throw up." She let Gray take her place. She knew that he wanted to more than she did.

"You were just starting to feel better, huh?" Gray asked Lucy, rubbing her back.

Ultear calmly left the room. The second she was doesn't stairs she let out the gasp she was holding in. "Could it be?" she asked herself.

"Miss Lucy, you're friend is here to pick you up for school," a maid spoke.

Sting just opened the door, not even waiting for Lucy to respond. He saw that she was in the bathroom and assumed she was sick again. He ran into the room. He was surprised to see her pinching her arm. "What are you doing?" he asked.

"I think I'm gaining weight but I'm not sure," Lucy said. She pinched her other arm. "My arms didn't seem to grow any." She lifted up her shirt then pinched her hip. "It seems like I'm getting flappy, though." She dropped her shirt and shrugged, fixing her hair in the mirror.

Sting closed the distance between them and lifted her shirt up, making her blush and call him an idiot. She was trying to make him put her shirt down, but he wouldn't budge. Since she was being so difficult, he just took her shirt off.

"What are you trying to do?" Lucy asked, covering herself with her arms. "I've told you before-"

"No, that's not it," Sting said. He grabbed Lucy's wrist so she didn't cover herself up. She just blushed more. "How can you gain that much fat on your stomach that quickly?" He groaned and turned around, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Dammit! Why didn't I see it sooner?"

"See what?" Lucy asked. She didn't understand what he was talking about, or why he seemed so upset.

"You're always tired, you get sick a lot, and your moody," Sting said. Lucy puffed out her cheeks, not happy with the moody comment. "Do you not get it?" She shook her head. "How is it the a guy knows this before a woman? Woman always say their pregnant at a drop of a hat, but not you."

"P-p-pregnant?" Lucy stuttered. "You think I'm pregnant?" She was completely shocked. Now that she thought about it, it did make sense. Why didn't she think of that sooner? She always thought of some explanation for being sick, but never being pregnant. "How long has it been since I've moved here?"

"Almost a month and a half," Sting said. "Let me guess. You never noticed your little 'gift' never came, huh?"

Lucy had to grab the sink for support. "I can't even believe this. I'm pregnant. I'm actually pregnant." She didn't even want to think about what her father would do if he found out.

"We don't know for sure, though," Sting said, trying to be positive. "Why don't we go get a test or something at the store? We can skip school and go to my place. My parents are at work so they won't know."

Lucy smiled. She just loved how thoughtful Sting was. She really didn't know what she would do without him. It's been almost three weeks since she's seen Gray, so she was glad that she had someone there for her.

The two blondes acted like they were going to school to please the maids, then went to the store. Sting grabbed a cart to lean on, something he always liked to do. They went to the area of the store that sold pregnancy tests. They were both baffled on what to get. There were so many brands, types, and colors. Sting just grabbed three different brands. He didn't know which one was most accurate, so he just figured they would do a best two out of three thing. Then he went around the store. He got ice cream, a movie that looked good, a bottle of soda, and various candies.

"You're such a nice boyfriend," the lady at the check out said. That got the attention of the other cashiers. They all awed and said things like 'I wish my boyfriend was that sweet,' or 'she's so lucky.' Lucy was just glad to get out of there. Sting was just smirking the whole way home.

"You go do your thing and I'll plug the movie in," Sting said. He gave Lucy the tests, then went to make popcorn. He knew that if Lucy was pregnant, she would obviously be upset. Of course she would be happy, but at first she would just be scared and confused. That's what made him decide to but ice cream, since that was the stereotype with upset women. The movie was just to get her mind off things, and what's a movie without snacks and drinks?

Lucy came out of the bathroom after the popcorn was done. She looked really nervous. "I have to wait a couple minutes for it analyze or whatever it does," she explained. She sat on the couch and hugged her knees. "What will I do if I am pregnant? I'll probably get made fun of at school. And what about Gray? Oh god, Gray. I don't even think he likes kids! How will he react?"

"I'm sure he's going to love the kid, even if he doesn't like kids," Sting said assuringly. "The kid is his, after all. And also, it's going to be a great kid. It is half you."

Lucy rolled her eyes. "Are you flirting with a pregnant woman?" she asked in a teasing voice. Then a beeping went off. That was the timer she set with her phone.

"Looks like we are about to know who exactly I'm flirting with," Sting said. He made Lucy stand up. He could feel her shaking. She turned around a hugged him.

"I can't do it!" Lucy was on the verge of tears. She was just so scared.

"It'll be okay," Sting said. He awkwardly walking to the bathroom with Lucy still attached to him. He swore that she was trying to make it difficult for him to walk. He just made her sit on the toilet. "I'll just read the results, alright?"

"I'm scared," Lucy whispered.

"I know. I am too." Sting looked at the first test. He took a deep breath. "Positive." He looked at the second. "Positive." It didn't really matter at that point, but he looked at the last test. "It's positive, too."

Sting looked over at Lucy. Her eyes were widened in horror. She was staring at her hands. She didn't know what to do. He threw the tests and everything in the trash, hoping his parents wouldn't find it later and think he knocked a girl up. He gently helped Lucy stand up and led her back to the living room.

"No, this isn't right," Lucy said. She was shaking worse than before. She let Sting pull her down beside him on the couch. "This can't be right. I don't believe it."

"Lucy, just calm down," Sting said. He grabbed the tub of ice cream and a spoon, starting his plan. She immediately grabbed the spoon and took a bite. Sting just laughed and grappled his spoon, taking a bite as well. "I figured you liked strawberry. It's my favorite, too, so that works out nicely."

At the school, Yukino and Rogue were left wondering where Sting and Lucy where. Of course the first thought that came into their kind was something perverted, but they were so wrong.

"Lucy, calm down."

"You need to stop pacing."

"It'll be okay."

"Just calm down."

"Lucy!"

Lucy let out a weird noise, a mix between a scream and a growl, and threw her hands in the air. She's been pacing and freaking out for almost an hour, since she's gotten off of school. It's been almost two weeks since she's discovered that she's pregnant. If you were looking closely, it wouldn't be hard to see, either. That just made her freak out. It was Friday and Gray was coming to get her for the weekend. She just knew that he would find out, even if she tried to hide it. She's been wearing baggy shirts, so no one else knows aside from Sting, but she knew that that wouldn't work with Gray.

"You need to try to not get so stressed out," Sting said. He pulled her down so she was sitting on the couch next to him. "Stress isn't good for you or the baby."

"I'm just so worried," Lucy whined, resting her head on Sting's shoulder. She suddenly stood up. "Why the hell does he even have to come?! I don't even want to see his stupid ass face!" She sat back down, majorly leaning into Sting. "But I just miss him so much." When she went to stand up again, she was held down.

"I don't think your mood swings are helping the situation, either," Sting laughed.

Lucy hummed. "You know what sounds good? Peanut butter." She started laughing. Sting just rolled his eyes. He was actually starting to get used to her.

After five minutes of giggling, Gray came into the room. Lucy ran over and latched into his neck, acting like a school-girl. "Gray!" she sang happily.

"Hey, Luce," Gray sad, hugging her waist. He didn't even seem to notice her overly-cheering mood. He just assumed she was happy to see him. "Are you ready to go?" Lucy smiled and went past him, skipping to the car.

"Gray," Sting said, standing up. He handed him Lucy's bag. "I just want you to know that I really like Lucy. Hell, I might even love her. I guess I'm just saying that if you aren't good enough for her, there are plenty of other guys that would worship the ground she walks on. Just remember that." Sting brushed past him without saying another word.

Gray was pretty mad that Sting said that to him. It's not like he would hurt Lucy! He was really wondering what made him say that, though. It was really strange.

The whole ride Lucy was silent. She knew that she was having mood swings, and she didn't want Gray to notice. If she spoke, he would know. He pretty much knows her like himself, so he would be able to tell that something was wrong.

"You know, everyone's been dying to see you," Gray said, pulling into his driveway. "They wanted to hang out tonight."

Lucy started to panic slightly. "Can we do that tomorrow?" she asked. She just wanted to postpone the meeting as much as possible. "I'd rather just spend time with you, anyways," she practically purred. She cursed her mood swings.

"I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem," Gray laughed, pushing open the front door. It wasn't even five yet, so everyone was at work. Wendy went to Cheria's house for a sleepover. He didn't tell her Lucy was coming because she wouldn't have went then. She would have felt obligated to stay, even though she was so excited about spending time with her friend.

"I haven't seen you for two weeks," Gray said, snaking his arms around Lucy's waist. They were in the living room, but no one was home anyways. She wasn't even nervous about someone coming home, either. She was just nervous because he could potentially find out about her being pregnant any minute.

"Yeah, I missed you," Lucy said. She almost felt like she was lying. Every time she thought about him she freaked out. That isn't exactly missing someone.

Instead of saying he missed her back, Gray just kissed her. Lucy was amazed. It was like her senses were on overdrive. He wasn't even kissing her like he meant it. It was more like an 'I miss you so much let me kiss you' thing. But to her, it really felt like the best one she's ever had. She was leaning into him so much he had to sit down or risk falling. He was pretty surprised, honestly.

"I guess you really did miss me," Gray laughed, moving to kissing her neck. Lucy was in heaven. That is, until he started to run his hands up and down her sides. She knew that he was going to take her shirt off. She did not want that. As casually as possible, she laced her hands into his. He didn't seem to question the action at all.

"Gray, your family is going to be home soon," Lucy said. She didn't know who would come home first, but someone was going to soon. She felt him smirk against her neck.

"I don't really care," Gray said. He took his hands away and slipped them under her shirt. She instantly felt him rub her stomach. "Hey, have you been gaining weight?" He brought his head away from her neck and looked at her in confusion. "You couldn't have gotten fat in two weeks. And you don't even eat much." His eyes went as wide as a dinner plate. "Don't tell me."

Lucy was shaking. She was so nervous. That was an awful way to tell him! Why couldn't she have done something cute like getting him a World's Best Dad mug? That would have been so much better than this. She felt tears run down her face. She bit her lip and nodded.

"You're...pregnant," Gray said slowly, as if processing the words. He understood why she was so sick. How could he not have noticed that his own girlfriend was pregnant? Exactly. They were just dating. They weren't even married! He always looked at pregnant teenagers and looked down on them, wondering how they could be so stupid. And now it was happening to him.

"Gray," Lucy said sternly. "Say something." She couldn't handle the silence. She could see the horror on his face as plain as day.

Gray flipped Lucy beside him on the couch and stood up. He started pacing around the room. Then he stopped, looking away from Lucy. "How long have you known?" he asked.

"A-about two weeks," Lucy admitted. She could practically see smoke coming out of his ears.

"Why in the hell didn't you tell me?!" Gray snapped. He clenched his fists so he wouldn't punch something. "You think you can just keep something like that a secret?! You should have told me the second you thought you were, not two weeks after you know! That's why Sting was acting so protective, huh? So he knows. You let him know before I did?!"

Lucy was crying loudly into her hands. She couldn't even process any words at that point. She was already nervous about telling Gray, her hormones are all out of whack, and he was just about screaming at her. That was a deadly combination.

"No, I bet he was there when you found out, wasn't he? You didn't even call me. I would have come up. I wouldn't have cared if I had to walk out of class. I would have drove up there. You could have told me you thought you were pregnant, and we could have found out together. But you just clung to Sting and let him do that. You didn't even bother to text me. I didn't even get a damn text!" Gray slammed his hand against the wall as he left the room. He couldn't even look at her. He was beyond angry. He was a little upset that she was pregnant, but he was more shocked than angry. But she had no reason to keep it from him. That's what bothered him. And by the way she was acting, he was positive that she planned on hiding it.

Gray grabbed his keys and phone. He just needed to distance himself, then he could think properly. He knew that he wasn't thinking properly. He just needed to clear his head.

He drove around for almost an hour. He calmed down considerably. He wasn't happy, though. Just like he told Renji, he really didn't want a kid, especially since he isn't even out of high school. That isn't even all of it, though. He was also afraid that she would have twins. Renji said that it ran in the family. That would just kill him. Not to mention how it would affect Lucy. Her father would probably kill her. He hurt her so badly for having a friend over.

Gray slammed on his breaks. The car behind him almost ran into him. They blared their horn as they went around him. He didn't even notice them. He was too consumed in thought and worry.

He never even thought about it before.

Lucy's known she's been pregnant for two weeks.

That was the last time he's seen her.

When he last saw her, it was because of her father hurting her.

She has to be at least seven weeks pregnant.

That means that she was pregnant when she was beaten.

Gray did a U-turn in the middle of the rode, almost running into someone, and sped home. He just hoped he didn't get pulled over. But that wasn't even a concern at the moment. He only had one thought going through his head.

What if the baby was hurt?


This chapter is 7,000 words long! Can you believe it? I actually had up to Chapter 55 written. I just kept adding the next chapter to this one because it seemed so short. Haha, I guess I just read it so fast because it was kind of intense and I've seen it before, so it was easy to read fast. Anyways, I'm sure you guys don't mind, right?

ATTENTION: I'm sorry if I'm cruel about this, but I need to get my point across. I can only speak English. There are a couple of reviewers on my stories that review in other languages. Some of them are regular reviewers, while others only review once in a couple update. But either way, it was cute at first. But now it's annoying. I have to copy and paste the review into Google Translate just to read what it says. And quite frankly it's possible me off. I don't mean to be rude about this or offend anyone in any way. I totally respect that you guys speak different languages and I think that's amazing. But I can't. And I'm sorry if you think that's lazy of me to not want to copy and paste. It just takes a lot of time. I check my email on my phone, so I have to copy it on there, go to my internet app, go to Google Translate, switch the languages to detect and English, paste it in, then I can see what it says. And sometimes it doesn't even make a proper sentence, since Google Translate is pretty stupid sometimes. Anyways, I would greatly appreciate it if you guys can leave reviews in English. But if you can't, for whatever reason, I would be happy to translate it if means reading your lovely reviews. I am really sorry if my rambling was insensitive. I love you all so much!

Please Review!
