It was a weekend day so Nashi didn't have to go to school and due to everything that had happened to her so far Juvia decided to spend the day with her. Gray wanted to stay but he had a meeting with a very important client over a painting.

"What are we going to do today Auntie Juvia." Nashi asked.

"Well right nowI have to go to the market and pick up some groceries but while we're there we can get stuff make cookies and rent a couple movies."

"Can Happy come?" Nashi asked holding up her cat.

"No honey I'm afraid he'll have to stay here."

"But Happy doesn't like to be alone."

"We won't be gone that long and to make it up to him I'll let you pick out a cat toy to give him when we get back. Now go upstairs and get you're coat on , it's very cold out there."

Nashi went to do as she was told. Juvia had just grabbed her coat off of the hanger when she heard a knock at the door. She answered it and found Ciel waiting on the other side.

"Ciel what are you doing here?" She asked him.

"You said that we had tutoring session this Saturday."

"I did? Oh that's right I did." With everything that had happened with Natsu she realized she had forgotten about the weekend tutoring session she had scheduled with him. "I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to cancel that today."

"Oh...Okay."

"I can call your mother and tell her to come back for you."

"No good. She's uh...She'll be very occupied by something for the day and she won't pick up."

"You sure?"

"Trust me."

"What about your father?"

"Oh no don't call him! Please! He's...He's a t work and if he's disturbed while he's at work well...Let's just say that things will get really ugly."

"Alright but I can't just leave you out here, why don't you come with me and Nashi to the grocery store?"

"Who's Nashi?"

"She's a little girl who will be staying with us for awhile and she really needs some cheering up right now so please be nice."

"Okay."

Once they were all dressed up in warm clothes they got into the car and drove down to the grocery store. She bought some stuff to make dinner with, some vitamins prescribed for pregnant women, a little toy mouse that Nashi picked out for Happy, and ingredients for cookies.

"Now what kind of cookies should we make?" Juvia asked the two children.

"Sugar cookies." Nashi said.

"No chocolate chip." Ciel said.

"Sugar is better."

"No chocolate chip is."

"Now don't fight, why don't we make both?" Juvia suggested.

When they got back to the Fullbuster house, Nashi and Ciel helped Juvia put her groceries away and she made them some sandwiches for lunch. After they ate they started to make the cookies. She gave each of the children their own apron to wear and allowed them to perform a task in the cookie making process. Ciel and Nashi did everything she told them to do however when her back was turned Nashi couldn't resist sneaking a spoonfuls of cookie dough into her mouth and Ciel would swipe a few handfuls of chocolate chips.

"Hey I saw that!" She said when she turned around to find Nashi sucking on a spoon and Winter with a mouthful of chocolate chips. "Nashi you're a greedy little glutton just like your father and Ciel I thought you were more mature than that. Naughty, you don't deserve any cookies."

"Sorry." They apologized while looking very ashamed of themselves.

"Oh I can never stay mad at you two." She smiled. "But I want you both out of my kitchen until the cookies are done. They need to bake in the oven."

"But that means we have to wait and I hate waiting." Nashi said.

"Well I have to clean the kitchen now but there are some board games upstairs in the closet. Why don't you play with them while you wait?"

Ciel and Nashi did just that. In about an hour the kitchen was cleaned, and a dozen chocolate chip cookies and a dozen sugar cookies were freshly baked. She laid a couple of each on a plate with two cups of milk, set them down on the coffee table in the living room, but in the movie she had rented, and called Ciel and Nashi into the living room. They sat down on the sofa and watched the movie while eating cookies. All in all it would have been a perfect day had it not been for the knock on the door that came after the movie ended.

"I'll get it." Ciel said. "It's probably my mom."

He got up from the sofa and answered the door. It was indeed Mary Hughes and at the moment she was in a bad mood.

"What's wrong Mom? Lost your drug money again?"

"Don't act all superior with me young man!"

"I wasn't acting superior I was just stating the obvious Mom, you only get that crazy look in your eye when you've misplaced the money you've saved up for crack."

"What's that on your face?!" Mary demanded in a tone that made Juvia and Nashi jump.

"Wha...What are you talking about?" Ciel asked nervously.

"That brown stuff on your mouth!"

It wasn't until now that Ciel realized that he had some chocolate smeared on the side of his life.

"Uh...Nothing." He lied getting more nervous.

"Is that chocolate?!"

"No!"

"Don't you lie to me! You've been eating sugar haven't you?! You know you're not allowed to have sugar!"

"Auntie Juvia what's going on?" Nashi asked getting scared.

"I don't know sweetie." Juvia said starting to get concerned. "Stay here okay?"

She got up from the sofa and went outside to find Mary holding Ciel roughly by the arm, as she was ready to shake him.

"Is everything alright?" Juvia asked.

Mary turned around and when she saw her, she looked at Juvia as if she had seen a ghost or some person she was sure that she would never see again. She was so full of intense fear, like Juvia was a police officer close to uncovering a crime that she had committed.

"Who the hell are you?" Mary asked.

"I'm...I'm Mrs. Fullbuster. I guess we haven't really been properly introduced Mrs. Hughes."

"You're...You're Ciel's school teacher?" She asked nervously.

"Yes I am."

"Why are you so interested in my boy?"

"Excuse me?"

"Why do you invite him over to your house?"

"To tutor him. I thought you were alright with that Mrs. Hughes."

She was high, Juvia could tell and so could Ciel.

"Mom calm down." The boy said.

"We're going home Ciel! Now!"

"Mrs. Hughes are you okay?" Juvia asked.

"You! You stay away from my son! He's mine!" She snapped.

"Mom don't do this, please." Ciel pleaded.

"Shut your mouth! and get in the car!"

"Mrs. Hughes I don't think you're in fit condition to drive." Juvia protested gently, she put her hand to Mary's shoulder. "Why don't you come inside and we could-"

"Get the hell off of me!" Mary snapped and without warning she struck Juvia hard enough to knock her down.

"Mrs. Fullbuster!" Ciel gasped in horror.

Mary grabbed Ciel by the arm and jerked him into her car then drove away. Juvia tried to get up but she felt a sudden contraction that forced her to fall back down.

"Oh no!" She cried, moving her hands over her belly.

"Auntie Juvia?" Nashi said coming to the door way.

"Nashi." Juvia breathed as she felt another contraction. "Do you remember the number you call for help?"

"911?"

"Yes. Good. I need you to go get the phone and call that number. Can you do that?"

"I'm scared."

"Don't be scared." She said trying to remain calm. "Just get the phone, call the police, and tell them that I need help."

"What's wrong? Are you sick?"

"No it's just that my baby is coming now and when she arrives I'm going to need some help."

Nashi grabbed the phone, dialed 911, and told the authorities what had happened. With in 15 minutes an ambulance arrived to take Juvia and Nashi to the hospital.
