The house had all of her stuff inside and everything was put into their rightful place. Amber continue to cry for Happy off and all. Who ever was near by her would console her in their arms. Lilly had to stay for while longer to give Amber emotional support. Lucy was kind of despondent that her cat took a liking to her friend more. She wasn't going to complain if it was to help her in grieving. Lilly being with Amber, Lucy didn't have to call upon her sister to look after her cat. It worked out for the best this way.

Gray, Natsu, Laxus and Lucy were already to be called for their airplane. The airport was filled with every day people travelling to their destinations for business or for pleasure. It was snowing lightly outside so there was no delay in getting back. Amber wanted to see them off and was standing next to Freed and Lyon. Lyon offer to take her home after and enjoy her company. Gray ask him to keep a eye on her while he was gone. To give him updates if anything were to happen.

"I'll be working from home now, so if there is anything you need let me know."

"You are to rest Amber."

"I talked to Wendy Gray I can do a little work, not my usual standard of long days. Laxus here will be a temporary manger for you over there."

"I can handle things on my own."

"As your manger Gray, you have to stay focus on your work. Be a actor and we will do our jobs. Your plate is full as is, not take on more. Understand, good."

"Wow she is back into work mode already."

"No doubt about that Lucy. When we went to pick up Gray. She handed him the script for the next chapter. Told him to read it on the airplane."

"I wish could of seen that Natsu."

"Her manger skills are on par with Laxus here. They can get serious really quickly."

"Erza is best too. Good thing she isn't here and went ahead already or I will be getting a lecture on the ride over."

The both of them keep watching the interaction with Gray and Amber they were talking about the coming week schedule. Laxus went over to Freed to say a final goodbye to him. Lyon was texting his secretary about when he was coming in. The minutes tick by until there was announcement over the speaker. "Flight 23 ready for departure, Flight 23 ready for departure."

"That is us guys, we need to go." Lucy picks up her carrying on bag and says her goodbyes to Amber. "Remember to feed Lilly. He likes soft food not the hard kind."

"I will not forget, he might get spoil and turn fat."

"He better not be. I will not exercise him."

"It will be fine Lucy, thanks for letting me borrow him."

"You need him right now and I don't have to worry about him being with my sister." They hug one more time and she heads over to the gate. Laxus kisses Freed and says goodbye to him and step sideways and ask Amber for a hug.

"I am sorry that I lied about Happy."

"I know it must of been difficult for you and you all were concern for me. I am not mad at you Laxus."

"You can be you know."

"Nah, I have my memories of him. He was good kitty."

"I will contact you tomorrow."

"Right, safe flight." Laxus walks over and stands next to Lucy waiting for next final two.

Lyon was still talking to Gray and it was Natsu turn with Amber. "Sucks that you will not be coming."

"Me too, to be stuck here and not being able to do my job properly. In my mind there is so much I am missing on."

"It was doctors orders right?"

"And him." She points over at Gray and arches her brow. There were times she had to stay behind for a few weeks to book future engagements. When her work was caught up off she goes to where he was. "I think they are over thinking this."

"He wants you safe and being home and resting is best for now. Take it. If I was with someone I would do the same. I would want her be in a place that she feels comfortable and not on edge. Plus you have a little one to think about, why put them in harms way."

"Wow Natsu very insightful. Thank you."

"See I can be a gem as well too."

She laughs and gives him a pat on the arm. "Get going before I bust my gut." He smiles at her and heads to stands in line. He hands over his ticket to the attendant. Lyon pump fist with his brother before Gray says his final goodbye.

"Make sure you watch her."

"Aye brother. Mom will be descending on her as well. She is in good hands."

"I am not child, I can look after myself. I have my brothers to you know."

"More people the better. I will wait for you over there." Lyon was going to give the two some privacy and Freed too steps away from them.

"Well you should go, the door should be opening soon." Gray looks back at the gang behind him. Laxus hit Natsu over the head and Lucy didn't want to be seen next to them.

"I will, but I hate to go."

"Why? You love acting."

"You and baby are here. I am going to be missing so much." He puts a hand her stomach and they look at each other. Then realizing where they are she tries to push down on his hand and looks around. Didn't want anyone to see or take pictures.

"Gray don't. Can't let the media know."

"No one is watching, they are off in their own worlds." The hand goes back on her stomach and he rubs with his thumb. "I'll be gone for over two months, by that time you will be bigger and I will not get to see the growth of my child. I will not get to feel the stronger kicks. Go to your doctors appointments. Run around when you have cravings."

"You don't have to feel that way."

"I do, I put my brother in charge of taking care of you. He will get to do these things in my place."

"The baby belongs to you not him. I can message you updates."

"I want video chat. To still see you at lest."

"Messages are good enough."

"Not for me Amber. Plus we never did discuss about us at the balcony. I want you to fall for me like I said that night. I want your heart to race for me the next time I stand in front of you. Think nothing but me."

"Gray I have said that it's impossible to be with me."

"No it's not. I will break your insecurities and you will fall for me."

"Don't rely on your confidence. I haven't seek out love since Dan."

"Then I'll be the first." A other announcement comes over the intercom. Amber and Gray stand staring at each other. Lucy wanted Gray to kiss her goodbye. Laxus and Natsu was betting on it.

"Passengers of flight 23 the gate is open, the gate is open."

Amber steps back and Gray's hand drops to his side. "Have a safe flight over. I'll message you." She turns and starts to head to Lyon, but a hand grabs her arm and she's spin back around and is pulled into his embrace. His eyes where intense and it made her heart quicken. Lowering his head he kiss her lips. Feeling his arms wrap around her, he licks her top lip. Parting them ever slightly, he kisses her bottom lip and sucks on it and does the same to the top. The kiss made her weak again he holds her up. Then he stops the kiss to look at her and her eyes are still closed.

"No goodbye, you where going to walk way." Slowly opens them and her mouth is dry, she licks her lips. Gray was a good kisser, a really good kisser.

"What?"

"You enjoy that?"

"No you're mistaken"

"Then way does it look like you need to be kissed again." Gray rubs her cheek with his knuckle. She had a dreamy look about her and he felt the slump in her again like from last time. Knew exactly what the kiss did to her and there was no lying about it.

"You should go." Looking at his lips and looking back at his eyes. Amber was getting lost in them. This wasn't good, she can't get involved with him.

"Fall for me Amber, because I already have of you." He wanted to kiss her again but Lucy was calling him over. "I will kiss you longer next time with out witnesses."

"No Gray."

"Yes, I will and you will let me, because by that time you will would miss me and these lips." He kisses her noise and walks to the gate and hands the ticket over. Then looking back once more he raise his hand and wave. Amber stood there looking at him leave. Why can't he understand it will be futile to be with her.

"Amber, we got to go."

"Lyon, tell him not to be with me."

"How come?"

"I am not worthy to be with him." She turns around and walks out with Freed. Lyon wanted to know what she meant by that. By the way they were together right now, he could feel Gray's desire and Amber is still holding back.

Gray found his seat in first class and his flight mate was Natsu. Laxus and Lucy where sitting in other seats in first. A flight attendant showing the passengers on board a tutorial for in case emergencies.

A seat belt was click in and his head laid back against the heat rest and closed his eyes. If anything does happen while he is gone. The airplane was the fast means of travel. He hopes there wasn't going to be a need to go back.

"Gray man I should tell you something."

"Can it wait?"

"Sure, there is no reason for you know that Amber wanted to be kissed a few days ago." Gray reopen his eyes and almost sprang in his seat. This was something he had to know.

"What do you mean by kissed and where, and how do you know this? Did she tell you or Lucy. Well spill it, tell me already."

"I could but then I can keep it to myself and bug you with it until we land."

"If you do that you will taking a flying leap out of this craft."

"Fine, you are no fun."

"Natsu any kind of info you know will be advantage for me. Whatever she is feeling or thinking is one more step closer to being with me."

"You care for her that much? With your history? I have know you only a few months but what I have read in papers is something else. Wouldn't you revert back to your ways of a playboy. Her background doesn't leave cracks, she is one hard shell."

"I know what I am up against, I have worked with her this long. I am positive in weaseling my way into that shell. Now, speak or I am opening up that door."

"Back in the hospital when you kissed her on the forehead before leaving to crave her craving. I heard her whisper to herself."

"Did she say it was weird again?"

"Nope. She said, you should have kissed her on the lips instead."

"Ohhh really now. She said that huh?"

"Yep, but then again she could have said that because of the drugs still in her system."

"I believing the other way. Natsu the way I kissed her she is weak in my arms. I know I have affect on her. I have to keep going."

"What of her past Gray, how are you going to get past that. She has let you kiss her, but what of going deeper. This guy has beaten her up one side and down the other. Do you know for certain that he didn't...you know."

"Rape her? She didn't say anything about that. Even when she divulge her story, it never came up. If he did Natsu, the thought of his hands on her. I would replace them with mine, make her forget that guy was ever was in her life."

"Four years is a long time. Her past is not easily forgotten."

"You know for a guy that gave me some good news, you are giving me spoil food here." A cart of drinks was coming by. Natsu asked for a beer and Gray took a can of soda. They were told the afternoon meal will be arriving shortly.

"I don't want to bum you out. I and the rest of us want to see you two together. What I see in front of you may be a struggle. I will assist you in anyway but be prepared for more walls going up then ones you are trying to take down."

"I have thought about this long and hard. I know what I am getting into. Amber is seeing my serious side, I am not about to walk way from something I feel that is right. With all the other women I have had, it was just sex, fun, sex. All were short term, I wasn't looking for full commitment."

"I am not doubting your intentions towards her, but have you consider that the reason you are finding her attractive now, is because she is pregnant, with your baby. You have a need to protect your offspring and that could fore shallow this."

"No, I don't buy that. The attraction was there before she got pregnant."

"Do you think you could have been this way all long, the first meeting?" Gray thinks back to the first time he was introduce to her by his brother. Her hair was in pony tail, was wearing a business suit and she felt very stand offish. Hearing from her how she was always watching the men near her. That is why she acted so different and he didn't use his charms on her. The manger he was looking for he didn't want to be involved with them. Amber fit the bell at the time.

"I didn't feel anything for her back then. I think we have always been close though. I would tell her everything, that I didn't tell the other women. Amber didn't really judge me for my behaviour, and I know she wasn't elated by what I was doing."

"What do you want her to feel about you?"

"There are so many words I could described to you but I want her to feel captivated, aroused, loved."

"Loved?" Natsu looks at him closely and a light bulb went off in his head. He smiles and slaps him on the back. "Wow, Gray this is beyond your territory."

"What is?"

Maybe he should have hit him over the head. Like so many people does with him. Gray does see it, right? One way for him to find out. "You can't possibly not tell me those three words, the third one is the biggest of them all. That your feelings for her are stronger and this is your first time going through with it."

"What are you talking about?"

"Gray are you dense, you just use the word l..." A hand goes over Natsu mouth and he mumbles that last word. They both see Lucy standing in the aisle and giving Natsu a look that told him to shut up.

"Excuse me Gray I am taking Natsu for a moment. There is something I need to talk to him about." Dragged him out of the chair and brings him over to the bathrooms. Slapping his arm a few times over.

"Hey you are going to leave bruise if you hit any harder."

"Why why would a person like you figure it out before him. Why did you almost said the word? God...Natsu he needs to see it for himself."

"There is nothing wrong in giving him a nudge or a boost. The love is there Lucy right in front of him."

"I know that. Michelle witness the moment she believes he fallen in love with her. Gray hasn't ever loved any of the women he been involve with. This is all new to him, can't just tell him."

"Then what are we suppose to do?"

"Keep watching them for now. Hope nothing or someone worms their way in. I am going to keep my eye out for Juiva. I don't think that girl is going to just walk away from him. There is something about her I don't like."

"There are those incidents that have happen. What if this guy strikes again?"

"Or gal."

"The note in her car said you are mine."

"That doesn't prove it was from a man. I women can have strong obsessive feelings towards the same sex. This stalker might be going after both of them. Say they want Gray and will try to take Amber out of the picture or the other way around. We can't be sure until they make their final move or moves."

"Each time one of them has gotten hurt."

"Amber could have lost the baby Natsu. I would hate to think this person could have succeeded."

"Lucy, Gray will not let anything happen to those two. He has all of us for backup. If he goes in swinging we will rise are fist too."

When they finally land all of them went to same Hotel. Laxus is Gray's temporary manger while Amber is resting and there was not point in being in a other hotel. The second room that Amber was using is being taken over by Natsu. Laxus was going to book a room downstairs and Lucy wanted to be there too for Amber's sake. Also to keep a eye out for other women trying to eye Gray.

"This is the room Natsu, if you find any of Amber's things. Put them to the side and I'll grab them and they can go into the trailer."

"The new one should be here right?"

"Took awhile for it to be made. I added a few features inside of it. I thought it would be of use to Amber. Now that she isn't here, they may have gone to waste."

"What other kind of trinkets did you add."

"The trailer is longer then my previous one. I added a bath tub, extra compartments space for Amber. A place for a playpen for when the baby can come on set."

"Nice. I am sure Amber will like it."

The men unpack their suite cases and lounge around the room for the rest of the day. They didn't have to be on set until tomorrow morning. Laxus and Lucy came over to have supper and they all talked about the continuation of the film. Gray wanted somehow to speed up their work so he could get back home sooner. That would be mean he would have to ace each take perfectly. That had a small margin of completion, but Natsu, Lucy would have to do the same.

As the day was ending Gray was in his room and laying on his bed. He was reading a few chapters of the book that Amber got him at Christmas. The series was getting good and it was hard to put down to go to sleep. Checking the time to see how late it was, it was getting closer to 12 am. "Best to end the chapter here. Should at lest get some sleep in tonight." He places the book on the night stand and takes off his reading glasses too. Reaches for his cell that was plug into the cord for charging. "Knowing her she is up doing something she shouldn't be" Dialing her phone number, she didn't need to get a new one for the move was able to keep using her old one.

He was going to hang up on the 7th ring when he hears a voice on the other end. "Hello?"

Before calling her, there was argument going on at her place. Lyon stop by after work, he was their to check up on her and also he wanted to understand what she said by I am not worthy to be with him. It started of as a chat when he walked in to her place then it escalated from there.

"Will you stop asking me the same question. I have given you my response so drop it."

"I think you are afraid. Yes you had a crummy past with a rotten ass hole. That shouldn't stop you from finding someone new. You are worthy to be with my brother. Don't count yourself short."

"Oh for all that is holy in the world let it go. I have explain myself over and over again to my family, friends, Gray and now you. Lyon I don't want anyone in my life. I am satisfied with becoming a mother. I will be to busy to even start dating not that I am looking for it."

"You will not have to look, there is someone who is already interested. Amber I have never seen my brother act this way towards the opposite sex. I think you two would be great together and good for each other."

"Lyon! No we will not, his mind will always be on the many women he is missing. There have been women that are far better then me. He needs someone like that. I have been through hell why would I want to be with someone again?"

"Because I can see with my own eyes that you are holding back."

"NO!"

"Yes you are! Wither you like it or not your heart is beating for him."

"I will stop my heart for doing so. I am not going to be with him Lyon."

"Amber let those feelings come through." Lyon walks closer to her. They started talking in kitchen and now they are in living room. Her hair is was down and still wet from having a shower. A nice pink warm robe was on her with matching slippers. She was wearing mickey mouse pj's. Holding a cup of hot coca in her hand that Lyon made for her.

"Can we stop talking about this please. It's a old record that keeps playing, no new tunes will come from it."

"Answer me this, just one more thing."

"What?"

"Do you have any feelings for my brother."

The sound of her phone ringing was heaven to her ears. There was no way she was going to tell him. It will please him to much to know if he was right. She can bottle up her feelings well and no one will be the wiser.

They both stood their not saying a thing. Amber was waiting for the answering machine to kick in. Then she was going to kick him out. On the fifth ring Lyon was going for the phone. This conversation is now closed and she will be tight lip about the truth.

Lyon pushes the button and speaks into the receiver. "Hello?"

"Brother you are there?"

"Yeah I am. When I drop off Amber at home, I had to go back to work until two hours ago. I stop by to check on her."

"Nothing is wrong?"

"No, she is fine. She had a shower and is ready to go to bed."

"Can I talk to her before she does."

"Sure, hold on. I'll pass her the phone."

"Lyon, before you hand it over to her. If a other incident where to occur. I want her at the mansion with mom and dad. They have the means to protect her as I can't right now."

"Don't worry, I will keep my eye on her. I have told her to call me or text me through out the day to make sure she is alright. Mother and father will be paying her a visit. There are her brothers too, more then enough people here for her. We both are fighters brother I will not let any harm come to her."

I am counting you."

"I still don't need to be watch I am not kid." Gray hears her voice come on line and Lyon in the background says goodbye to her.

"Hello Amber."

"Gray..."

"You don't sound to happy?"

"Never mind about it, what do you want?"

"Hey, don't get angry calm down. You are suppose to be resting."

"No, I should be doing my dam job and everyone can get off my dam back and leave me bloody alone." Slams the phone down and cuts off Gray. Standing there taking in few breaths. Lyon was walking out the door when he hears her yell into the phone. Looking at her he comes back over to her. This was all of his doing, he made this mess. Pushing him back she heads for her bedroom and slams the door.

"Shit Amber!"

"GO HOME!"

"You can't get upset."

"Who do you think got me like this?"

The phone starts ringing again, knowing who was on the end of that call. "Don't answer Lyon go home, NOW!"

"Amber, I am sorry come out."

"No, I want to be ALONE!"

"What if the baby comes."

"911."

"I'll call you in the morning." There was nothing he could do for her now. It's better to go then get her more riled up. "Sleep well."

Amber goes over to her bed and plops down on her pillow. Lilly had already found a place to sleep in the middle of her bed. He meows as he is rudely woke up. "Sorry Lilly." She rolls onto her back and puts a hand to her stomach. "Sorry to you too. People need to stop asking me about Gray. I can't be with him. I can't bare to let my heart feel for a other man." Lilly walks over to her and jumps up on her stomach and lays down. He needed to his job and make her feel better. Purring can be heard from him as Amber starts petting his fur. The phone keeps ringing, until the answer machine comes on.

"Amber pick up." There was silence and he starts talking again. "Pick up or I am going to keep calling until you do."

He keep calling and calling. Amber tried reading a book to drown out the rings. If she could focus on a few pages of the book and tune out everything else. After 45 minutes, it wasn't working any more. She got up from the bed and went to the living room, turn on the t.v and up the volume. "Not going to summit to him, he is there in Cedar and I am here. A lot of miles between us. Plus he did this before and gave I in."

A other hour goes by and it ding 2 am by the clock in her living room. She couldn't take anymore, she marches over to the phone and picks it up. "Will you stop calling."

"I told you I will keep it up. Now what is going on?"

"Nothing, nothing is going on."

"Amber, talk to me."

"Your brother is relentless, like everyone else."

"Ok what are they doing?"

"They want...it's stupid. Because I have told each and one of them a clear no."

"Saying no is good, but to what purpose. What is it that you are defending yourself on." She didn't speak right away and Gray thought maybe she hang up again. If she didn't pick up the phone he would seriously take the next flight back just to make sure she was alright. Finishing this movie had to get done before he could go back home.

"You."

"What? I don't get what you mean?"

"I gave you my answer it shouldn't hard."

"You are defending me against other people?"

"No...I ummm. I told them I am not going to be with you."

"Oh I see what is going on."

"No you don't."

"Let me take a wild guess at this. Our friends what us together, they want you to be with me. You are on the fence about it."

"That's understatement. I am content to how my life is now. It will be best for you to be with a other women."

"I don't want a other women. I want you."

"Gray I don't want to keep repeating myself today."

"Will luck would have it, it's a different day already."

"Don't be cheeky."

"I have heard what you have said, and I am not stopping. I think we would be great Amber."

"Gray...like have said before. You have had splurge of women, can't give that up. I am unacceptable to be with you."

"Why because of Dan? Of the way he treated you. Amber I am ten times a better guy and I know you will fall for me."

"How can you be so sure on that account?"

"The kiss."

"Rubbish."

"No it's not. You get weak to me kissing you. I had to hold you up both times."

"There is not going to be a third." Amber walks around her house turning off the lights. Lilly was at her heal following her along. He wanted to go to sleep and the best place to do that was on the bed, right next to her. She was taking forever and those rings where hurting his ears.

"Can say that now, but not in few months. It's blessing that I am here. This way you will be thinking of me, dreaming of me. That kiss will replay each day in your mind."

"Your ego is going to soar."

"I am being realistic here."

"Ha, you are being delusional. I have told you that is not going to work. I am keeping to my word Gray. Find someone else. I am tired, in bed, now I must sleep." Lilly jumps up on the bed, circles around in his spot and lays down. He was was already having cat dreams before she ended the call.

"It is late and you do need your sleep. I'll call later."

"Call only regarding work Gray, no more talk of this."

"We will see, Amber. Good night to you both."

"Good night."

She puts the phone down on the night stand table and turns to look out her bedroom window. The moon was in her view and it was big and bright and it glisten on the snow. Thinking of their conversation, she surely would chastise herself if she fall for him. The way he kissed her not only made her weak but it made her heart beat faster. She puts a hand over her chest. "Don't do it heart, do not fall for him."

Turning on his side and looking at the clock, it was going to be a long day for him tomorrow. In four hours he had to get up. Now he wasn't to sure he will get any sleep. "Amber, I know you have reservations about you and me. There is something between us. I can feel it as can you."

The night continue to go on for others in a form in which they have made a grad blunder of things. He was angry when he found out from Cobra that his ex will no longer be coming back for filming. The news spread so fast due to Lucy gossiping, when she came to the location tonight to check out her trailer. She didn't go into details as to why Amber had to be at home resting. Dan knew of course, it was his malice that cause her stress. To get so close to her that day he could spell her perfume she was wearing for the party. It was a close call with the cops though, he had to move quietly through the bushes and leave for a bit. When they were finally gone and the ambulances too that is when he went to her car and took a knife to her wheels, broke the window and left the note in her car.

At first when this started he didn't want her, he just wanted to play mind games. After seeing her and being so close and yet so far. The urge to have her increase, she was always a good laid, very submissive. That was because she didn't want to be beaten. If that were to happen it would turn him off for the next time of having sex. Now that she isn't coming back he took his anger out on Rachel and he went far beyond a beating. With the knife that he used to her car and apartment he used it on her.

"This is all her fault, look what I did. She was talking smack about new years. Wanting me to change and to seek help. That wasn't going to happen, I don't need no shrink to get in my head." The carpet was mess, blood was being soak into it. "At lest we were not in my apartment or the cops will be banging on my door step."

Grabbing a bed sheet from her closet hallway and rolling her inside of it. The next thing to do was dispose of the body. "I am not going back to prison. She was the one who wouldn't stop talking. Then the knife came out to frighten her like I did with Amber. It backfired in a big way. Now I have blood and death on my hands." Taking the body out into her garage and placing it in the trunk of her car. He will have to get rid of both things. Dump her somewhere and the car in water make it submerge. Hopefully they will not find this for a long time, and by then I'll be gone."

Going back into her house he had to clean up. He has heard of stories from the other inmates how they almost got away with it but not for CSI. Over the years people have perfected in covering up and it's getting harder for the science to find the culprit. "I don't have time for this, it needs to be done." It takes sometime to clean the blood out of the carpet and make it look like the rest of the carpet in colour. There can't be any discolour what so ever. When he was done he grab what he left in the house. "I think this it, I'll have to be careful from here on out. Crap, there is Mest to see this week too. He knew of the women, but didn't know her name. I don't think I told him."

Taking the keys out of his pocket he gets into his car and pulls out of the garage. He heads in the direction of Cedar largest lake. It was about five miles out of town, and he knew of a great spot to dump this car and her in it. It will take some time to get back to his place. At lest he does not need to be at work until the afternoon. "She will pay for this."

"Welcome to flight 195 our destination is Cedar International Airport. Please follow the rules of the aircraft and enjoy your flight." He puts his seat back so he can get some shut eye he took the earliest airplane. He wanted to get to the prison first thing in the morning. Gilldarts tried getting a hold of the prison top personal, no calls have been return. Jellal couldn't wait for a call back. His sister life and well being is at stake here. If his hutches where accurate, then God help them. If he is at the prison then it's someone else playing havoc with his sister. A crazy stalker will have to be caught and dealt with.

"If this airplane had turbo speed can get there faster. I hope I am wrong about this. To many things have been going on. A stalker could be behind the chaos, I get the feeling it's not. I should have bet with myself on this."

"Sir would you like a pillow and blanket for your rest." Opening his eyes he sees the flight attendant holding the two items in their hands. He reach out for them and says his thanks. Getting comfortable once more he closes his eyes again.

"You better be there."
