Chapter 17

-Two Weeks Later-

Lucy was going crazy being stuck in the infirmary. Sometimes she was able to sit in Laxus's office with him, but that is only when he was there. The Thunder Legion got called on a mission two weeks ago. Laxus tried to argue that he needed to stay here for Lucy, but master told him they were requested specifically for the mission. Thankfully he was suppose to be back today or tomorrow.

"Wendy, when can I leave? Do I really need to stay here for the whole four weeks?" Lucy asked.

"Yes Lucy, I'm sorry. It's okay when you are moved to sit with Laxus in his office but you need to be where you will always have help if needed."

"I have my spirits that can help me though."

Wendy just shook her head and said, "Two more weeks, and then you can go home. You will still have to take it easy until you do therapy."

Lucy sighed and nodded. She missed Laxus, and her friends, team Natsu was also away for a mission. Levy was suppose to visit her later, and bring more books for her to read.

"Lucy can I get you anything?" Wendy asked.

"A chocolate milkshake, burger and some fries please." Lucy said. Wendy nodded and went to tell Mira what Lucy wanted. Once she was by herself she started to think about how Alastair wasn't in prison. I know he is just biding him time. I just hope they can catch him before they want to use me as bait.

Wendy came back with her food twenty minutes later. Lucy thanked her and started to eat her lunch. Wendy told her that she would see her tomorrow, she was going on a small job. Lucy nodded and thanked Wendy for keeping her company. Once she was done with her lunch, she decided to do some writing for her novel. She worked on her novel for an hour.

She called out Virgo to help her to the bathroom. Virgo also helped her with a bath and braided her hair after. Once she was back in bed and comfortable Virgo went back to the spirit world. Lucy called out Loke, to have some company.

"Hello Princess. How are you feeling?"

"I'm doing a little better. Will be glad when I can get out of this bed and walk."

"Princess, I'm sorry that I couldn't save you."

"Loke it isn't your fault. They put runes around that place to stop celestial magic. I don't blame you. Is that why you haven't opened your gate to see me?"

He sighed and nodded, "Yes, that is why I haven't come. I am glad you called me out today. I've been watching over you from the spirit world, it's nice to be able to visit with you."

They talked for a little while, until Loke needed to go back to the spirit world. He promised he would visit her tomorrow and would open his own gate, so she wouldn't have to use her magic to keep him out. She grabbed her book to read, she was on the second book of the Mortal Instruments series. She grabbed her music lacrima and put on her playlist she likes to listen to while reading, it has songs by Christina Perri, Lindsey Stirling and ColdPlay. Once she had the music going, she relaxed back against the pillows and started to read. She got about a chapter read before she fell asleep.

She woke up a couple hours later when someone removed the book from her hands, and set it on the table next to her. She was surprised to see Mira.

"Hey Mira, is everything okay?"

"Everything is fine, I wanted to come check on you and see if there was anything you needed, or if you would like some company." Mira said with a smile.

"I am always up for company. What about the bar?"

"I have Kinana watching the bar. Another reason I came up is because Laxus called you, and when he couldn't get a hold of you he was worried so he called me. I told him that I would check on you."

Lucy was sad that she missed the call from him. Mira seemed to notice how Lucy started to look sad, and told her to call Laxus. Lucy smiled, and picked up the lacrima to call Laxus.

"Hey baby, how are you doing?" Laxus asked when he answered.

"I'm okay, Mira is keeping me company right now. Sorry I missed your call, I was sleeping."

"It's okay. Wanted to let you know that we will be back tomorrow. I bet you miss me, huh?" He smirked.

"Nope, I don't miss you." Lucy said with a smirk, and then laughed at Laxus's shocked face.

"Then I guess you don't want the present I got you."

"I was only joking. You know I miss you. Hate that you got called away on a mission." Lucy said with a smile.

"Miss ya too Blondie. I will see you tomorrow."

"Okay, bye Laxus." She ended the call. Mira squealed and started to talk about how they would have the cutest babies. She kept talking about blonde hair, brown eyed babies, or blonde hair, blue eyed babies. Lucy blushed and dropped her head into her hands. Once Mira started talking about babies, there wasn't any stopping her.

"I'll come back up in a couple hours with dinner for you. What would you like?"

"Could you bring me a chicken caesar salad and a soda, please?" Mira smiled and nodded, then left to go back to the bar. Lucy decided to read more of her book, before she opened it to her spot, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Lucy child, how are you?" Makarov asked.

"I'm doing okay master. Is everything alright?"

"Yes, I just wanted to come check on my future granddaughter-in-law." He grinned.

"Master-"

"Call me gramps, Lucy."

"Gramps, our relationship is still new. I know I am his mate, but we are taking things slow for now."

"Don't take too long my dear. I want some great grandbabies!" He laughed when Lucy blushed and hid under the blankets.

-Two Days Later-

Lucy was happy to have Laxus back with her. She was currently sitting on the couch in his office while he worked on paperwork. She had been reading for the last couple of hours, when she puts the book down and watches Laxus for a minute.

"Laxus, can I ask you something?"

Laxus stops his work and looks up at Lucy, "What's the question Blondie?"

"You're blonde too! My question is, um, would you want to have kids one day?" She asked, but kept her head down, too nervous to look at him after asking the question.

Laxus didn't say anything at first, he was shock that she asked that. After a couple minutes, she peaked up at him through her bangs to see him staring at her with wide eyes. Way to go Lucy, you broke him. After hearing Mira and Gramps talk about babies, it made me wonder if he would want a family with me. I always wanted to be a mother, but I would understand if he didn't want kids.

"Lucy!"

"Huh, what did you say Laxus?"

"I said, what made you ask that."

"Mira started talking about how cute our babies would be with blonde hair and blue or brown eyes. Then Gramps asked when he would be getting great grandbabies. Sorry, probably wasn't the best time to ask that question." She said looking down at her hands. She didn't hear Laxus get up and walk towards her. He kneels down in front of her and gently grabs her chin and makes her look at him.

"I do want to have kids with you."

"Really? You do?" Lucy couldn't help but smile. He nodded and then smirked.

"I bet you will be even sexier with your belly swollen." He leaned up and kissed her, he slowly runs his tongue along her lower lip asking for access, which she grants. She wraps her arms around his neck and one hand slides up into his hair. He wraps an arm around her waist lightly, being mindful of her legs. After a couple minutes they break apart for air.

"There is something I need to tell you Lucy. Dragon mating season is coming up soon, would you allow me to mark you as my mate when mating season starts?"

"What do you mean by mark me?"

"I will bite your shoulder and infuse some of my magic with you. A lightning dragon will appear in the spot I bite you. It's not as simple as me biting you though. I would have to bite you during sex. I should also let you know, that we won't be able to be apart or around others for two week. My instincts will kick in, to try and get you pregnant once you are marked."

"Why do we need to be away from others for two week?"

"It takes three days to complete the mark. It can be dangerous to infuse my magic with you all at once. Then once the mark is complete, it will actually make you fertile. My instincts will make me over protective during the mating time, I won't allow anyone near you."

Lucy didn't say anything for a couple minutes, thinking over everything he just told her. The more she thought about it the happier she was. She would officially become his mate, and they would have a chance of becoming pregnant.

"Yes, I will allow you to mark me when mating season starts." Laxus kissed her, and then picked her up to take her back to the infirmary.

"You need to relax in here for a while, I will stay with you but I'm going to order us some lunch quick. What would you like?"

"Vanilla shake and bbq chicken sandwich." Laxus nodded and left to order their lunch. She couldn't help the silent squeal about becoming Laxus's mate.

"Oi, Bright Eyes tone down your soul! What's got you all happy?"

"Laxus asked me to become his mate, when mating season starts."

Erik smirks and ruffles her hair, "I'm happy for you sis. Kinana agreed to become my mate."

"That's great! I'm happy for you." She smiled. They talked until Laxus came back in with the food. As Erik left he told Laxus to take good care of his little sister, or he would be dealing with him.

"Thank you for the lunch Laxus. You know I don't mind if you want to go to your place and sleep at night. You don't have to stay here with me."

"Baby, I want to be here with you. I want to help any way I can. Besides, it's our place now."

"Would it be okay, if I had Virgo start moving my things over?"

"Definitely." Lucy smiled, and they at their lunch in a comfortable silence. Once they finished eating Lucy called out Virgo and asked if she would pack up her apartment, and store the boxes in the spirit world until she was better. Virgo was happy to be of help, and went right to Lucy's apartment to start packing.

Laxus brought some of his paperwork in the infirmary to work on, while Lucy read. She would occasionally look over at him. She couldn't get over the fact that she got the hottest guy in the guild, according to her. She smiled and continued to read her book.

-With Alastair-

He found a small apartment in Magnolia, the part hated the most about the apartment was how far away from Fairy Tail it was. He also hated it because it was just small. He wanted his mansion back.

He tried to contact a few dark guilds to help attack Fairy Tail, but they all laughed at him. The guild leaders either told him they know better than to attack the strongest guild, or they didn't feel like rune knights coming after them for helping him. Word had spread about what he did, and how he lost everything. He was beyond livid.

I will find a way to get Lucy! She is mine! Destroying Fairy Tail can wait until I have my status back. He needed to figure out a way to get Lucy away from the guild and by herself. He couldn't send in a request because that would be an automatic arrest.

"Guess, I will have to track her when she goes on a mission. I can wait until they are in the middle of the mission and grab her while her guild mates are distracted." He says to himself. He grins thinking that he came up with a good plan.
