Lucy P.O.V

The Next Day

While at lunch, I quickly ran over to Juvia. "Juvia!" I called from a distance.

She turned back to face me with a gentle smile. "Lucy-san..."

When I reached her empty table, I placed my notebook down. "Okay, so if we're going to find you baby daddy, we're going to need a lot of info."

"Like what?"

"Like where were you? How far along are you? Is he from this school? Stuff like that."

I sat down and I picked my notebook back up to write in it.

"Okay first question: How far along are you?"

"2 months."

"Where were you 2 months ago?"

"The party."

I knew it! So she was at the party...so that means it has to be Gray, right? According to the rumors, she was with him all night, so it has to be him, right...?

"Juvia, I'm not sure how true the rumors are, but since you were apparently with Gray the whole time, wouldn't that make him the first guy to suspect?"

Her face became pale as she looked at the table in shame. "I was with him the whole night...We did all types of mischief together, like weed and alcohol...so when I asked him about that night, he said he left before morning came. So it couldn't be him."

He left her at the party while she was drugged?! How could he?!

Suddenly, a dark thought crossed my mind.

Was she...raped by some other guy? Did some guy take advantage of the fact that she was intoxicated?!

No...! You have to stay calm Lucy... Don't think start jumping to conclusions.

"Okay...Do you remember how the guy looks like?"

"No..."

"How about any words he said?"

She looked at me confused. "Words?"

"Yeah...like, 'it's go time' or something?"

"It's go time?"

My face turned red from embarrassment, "It's the only thing I could think of!"

She bursted out into laughter at my embarrassing statement. "No, I don't remember hearing anything."

She laughed...

Watching her laugh made my heart fill with joy. This is the first time I've seen her genuinely happy. It warms my heart!

"Lucy-san?"

I quickly snapped out of my trance like state and nodded to her so she knew I was okay. "Sorry, I got a little distracted, but anyway...what do you remember from the party?"

"I...I remember the sensation...the bond between us both spitrually and physically. I remember it all, but the face of the man that took my heart and innocence."

My heart sank at the darkness in her words.

So...she fell in love with a guy that she can't even remember...? So it couldn't have been a random guy because she said she felt something with the guy, which means it had to have been someone she's close with...

"Juvia..."

"You must think I'm stupid...How could someone fall for someone she doesn't even know...?"

My heart ached for her because I knew that feeling all too well.

"No...It's not stupid. The heart wants what the heart wants, but are you sure the guy who...you know...had sex with you, is the same guy that you fell for?"

She thought about it and then looked away. "I don't know anymore...because the person I had a bond with ended up not being the father, so I'm not even sure anymore."

Gray?! She's in love with Gray?! This is just too complicated!

"Wait wait wait. So you're in love with Gray, but he's not the father?"

"Yeah...I guess so."

"But...Gray has never loved anyone before..."

"I know..."

This is going to be complicated...She's in love with a guy that'll never love her, and she has some random guys baby inside of her. This is bad...probably even worse than my own situation.

Ugh, this is why I need to help her!

I gave her a determined expression as I held a thumbs up. "Don't worry Juvia, I'll find your man!"

"...Thank you Lucy-san...but the only solution to this is removing the thing inside me."

"But-"

"I'm a mess, and that thing doesn't deserve to be raised by someone like me."

She stood up from the table and walked away.

"But...you would be a great mom, Juvia..."


After school

I walked over to Dragneel sensei's room, hoping to see him eventhough I knew he wanted nothing to do with me.

Lucy...you can't keep doing this. You're torturing yourself by trying to keep that fake connection you think you have with him...

I held onto the door handle of his room in suspense. I was scared yet determined to see him eventhought I knew it meant breaking my heart.

...But even thought I know this...

I quickly opened the door, closing my eyes in fear of what I might see.

...I still want to see him!

I opened my eyes, and to my surprise, I saw no one inside. "Where is he...?"

"Are you looking for something?"

I quickly turned around, startled by the voice.

"Oh, Dr. Strauss..."

"Who may you be?" she asked with a smile.

"Lucy Heartfilia."

Looking at her smile brought an unknown terror to my soul. I was shaking at that kind yet devilish smile.

Why am I suddenly so frightened?!

"Well Lucy-san, are you looking for Dragneel-Sensei?"

"Oh uh yeah...I just wanted to say hi."

"Is that so? Well, Dragneel sensei went home early. He wasn't feeling well today."

He's sick...? But he seemed fine earlier today.

"I-I see..."

"I'll tell him you said hi when he comes back to work."

"Oh...oh okay...Thank you, Dr. Strauss."

"My pleasure~"

I then slowly walked out of the room with a trembling heart.


Natsu P.O.V

My phone was ringing again, and I didn't want to answer it.

How many times has she called now? Five? Six? Maybe even ten?

The ringing stopped, and soon came a text notification.

She's so persistent.

I picked up my phone in annoyance to read the text.

Lisanna:

Natsu...

Please let me speak with you

Please...

I sighed as I swiped the notification away. She really never stops trying.

I stood up from the table in the teacher's lounge, and made my way back to my classroom.

What could be so important that she needs to call and text me so many times?!

I was approaching my classroom when I saw Lucy and Mira walking out of it.

Mira?! Why is she with Lucy?! What is she doing to her?!

My hands became fists and I wanted to go and save Lucy from that evil witch, but I knew I couldn't. I had to keep a distance, so I waited until Lucy walked away from her with a scared expression.

What did Mira do to cause Lucy so much terror?!

I quickly walked up to Mira to interrogate her, "What's going on? Why'd Lucy--I mean--Lucy-san, look so scared?"

"Why are you so concerned about that dumb blonde girl?" She spat.

She's not dumb!

"Don't tell me you have a crush on that little bimbo~" she mocked.

"I don't!" I yelled angrily with her.

Don't you dare talk about Lucy that way!

"Relax Natsu~ I'm only teasing," she taunted, "So...by any chance, do you want to go home and relax~?" She asked while placing her finger on the side of her cheek seductively.

I rolled my eyes and ignored her, walking away to leave her behind.

"Natsu!" she yelled while chasing me down the hall, "Natsu! Don't ignore me!"

I quickly walked out the door and into the parking lot.

"Natsu! Stop ignoring me!"

Once I reached my car, I turned back annoyed. "Mira, that was a one time thing. You forced me and I can report you for that."

"No you can't because I'll deny, deny, deny. Anyway, who will they believe? The crying girl or the intimidating man? Anyway, you did act back."

She then placed her arms under her breast, pushing them up to seduce me. "You did touch something and bit onto things ~"

That's because you forced me to!

I opened my car door and hopped in angrily. I quickly closed the door and rolled down the window. "Mira, stop coming after me."

She quickly grabbed my shirt collar and pulled me foward to kiss me roughly. She then release the kiss and pushed me back with a dominating attitude. "I'll never stop until I get what I want."

And with those intimidating words, she was gone.


I was driving home when I got a call from Lisanna.

She's never going to stop calling, so I might as well just deal with her now.

I answered and placed the phone on my ear.

"Hello?"

"Natsu! It's been a while."

"What's up?"

"So~ I wanted to know what your thoughts were about marrying me?"

"I already told you, I'm not marrying you."

"I know~ but why not~"

I sighed and responded:

"I don't love you anymore."

"Huh...? I don't think I heard you right."

I sighed as I was about to repeat the very phrase that would finally end my miser, but in that very moment, I thought of Mira.

If I break up with her, Mira's gonna try and hook up with me...

"It's nothing. Forget what I said."

"Nat-"

I quickly hung up the phone and threw it on the passenger seat in anger.

What did I do to be involved with these sisters?!
