She could feel his stare burning through her as she waited for his response. She had just told him something that would change everything for them. And then without warning, he pulled her into a hug as he told her they would get through this together. Smiling to herself, Lucy hugged back, she should have never worried about him leaving her to deal with this herself.

"So how is this going to affect our relationship?" Lucy asked her best friend. Natsu opened his mouth but nothing came out. "I guess we have to figure that out along the way," he finally answered giving Lucy his signature 'Dragneel Grin'."

"When do you want to tell the others?" Natsu asked, sitting down on the bed and petting Happy, who had been asleep the whole time.

"Either when they start to notice or when the risk of losing the baby has gone down enough, whatever comes first," Lucy said, sitting down as well and laying her head on Natsu's shoulder.

Meanwhile, at Fairy Hills, things were not going quite as well, Juvia was crying into Erza's shoulder as the scarlet-haired girl tried to hide her own emotions.

"I swear the next time I see that jerk I'm going to kill him!" Cana said, throwing another Gray doll into the Gray burn pile.

"It couldn't have been that bad, right?" Wendy asked trying to calm the other girls down. At that Juvia started crying even harder causing the gentle rain to turn into a pour.

"Are all the guys heartless monsters or just Gray and Laxus?" Evergreen asked before taking a sip of her tea. The other girls turned to her with questioning looks on their faces. The only bad thing she had ever said about Laxus was him being an idiot so they had to know what happened.

"Oh, you want to know what he did. Well, let's just say Mira is never going to talk to him again and Master isn't too pleased either."

"What exactly did Gray and Laxus do?" Wendy asked as she was the only that hadn't been told the whole story. Evergreen then went on to explain that the two men had gotten Juvia and Mira pregnant and now refused to take responsibility.

"Oh, I don't know what to think anymore, they had always been like big brothers to me but now I'm not sure," Wendy said, trying to fight back the tears so that she could do a proper check-up on the two mothers-to-be.

Later that night Erza took Wendy aside and told her that she too was expecting and that the young girl was who she felt most comfortable telling for the time being. Wendy held Erza's hand in hers and smiled up at her "don't worry, as your little sister I promise to do everything I can to help."

There was a big change coming to Fairy Tail and Makarov could feel it, taking a sip of his booze he muttered to himself about being prepared and Mest, who had volunteered to help with closing that night as Mira was not up to it, had asked what the master was talking about. "Nothing to worry yourself about, I'm certain everything will work out the way it's supposed to. Now do me a favor and get me a refill."
