Apparently, not everything went perfectly. And it started when Lucy decided to talk to her father. She brought along Natsu, Gray, and Juvia, too. She needed her best friends at her side right now.

"Oh, God. I'm terrified. He's gonna kill me. Oh..." Lucy started panicking as she was sitting in the back seat of Gray's truck.

"Don't worry. I'm a pretty decent guy. I'm sure he'll like me." Natsu said, grinning his trademark smile with small fang-like teeth.

"Yeah, when hell freezes over." Gray mumbled.

Natsu, with his sharp hearing, said, "Hey. Shut up and keep driving, dumbass."

"Whatever you say, parent." Gray said, trying not to smirk.

"Gray, don't be mean. This is a hard task for Lucy to do, and she needs Natsu by her side." Juvia said, looking at Gray with her big eyes.

"O-Okay." Again, he couldn't resist her big blue eyes.

"Oh, hey, Lucy. Can I tell Natsu now?" Juvia said, turning around with a smile on her face.

"Well, okay." Lucy said, smirking.

"Oh, no. What is it now?" Natsu said.

"You can't sleep with Lucy while she's pregnant."

As soon as Juvia said this, Natsu's face fell turned pale. Gray was trying to hold in his laughter, but 3 seconds later, he was laughing until tears fell out of his eyes.

"SHUT UP!" Natsu yelled, punching Gray in the arm. Gray's laughing calmed down, because (and he would never admit it), Natsu's punches hurt.

"Okay, okay. Sorry." He was still smirking.

"Yeah, sorry Natsu. So I guess that means we can't sleep with each other for 9 months." Lucy said with a smug face.

"Please. I'm not that shallow. I can go without sex for 9 months."

Gray was beginning to laugh again.

"You want me to fucking punch you again?"

Gray stopped laughing for the second time.

Finally, they reached Lucy's house. She told Juvia and Gray to wait in the frontroom, and she brought Natsu upstairs.

"Okay. I'll go in first. Then, when I call you, you come inside. Alright?" Lucy whispered to Natsu. He nodded.

She went to a large brown door. She knocked two times. A deep voice replied, "Enter."

Lucy opened the door, clasped her hands together, and walked inside. "Good afternoon, father."

"Good afternoon, Lucy."

"Father, I would like to consult a situation that I am in. It is not a bad situation."

Lucy's father took off his reading glasses. "Then explain this so-called situation."

Lucy took a deep breath. "Father, I am going to have a child." She closed her eyes, waiting for the worst. What he said was so shocking, so unfathomable, it felt like a dream.

"Pack up, and please leave." Lucy's father said. No arguing, no yelling. Just a simple sentence.

"W-What?"

"Please pack up, and leave." Lucy's father said, looking up at her with no emotion at all.

"B-But father, you can not be serious." Lucy said, her hands becoming clammy.

"If you are that irresponsible as to have a child when you are 17 years old, then you will be as much responsible for moving out." He said, not even glancing at her while he was reading a newspaper.

"F-Father I have no place to go. I thought that you-"

"Me? You expect me to do something? You expect me to help you with the mistake that you made-"

Finally, Natsu, who was eavesdropping on the door, couldn't bottle up the rage inside of him anymore. He slammed open the door.

"YOU JACKASS! HOW DARE YOU KICK OUT YOUR OWN DAUGHTER WHEN SHE'S GONNA HAVE A BABY! YOU'RE HER FATHER! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HELP HER WITH EVERYTHING!" Natsu yelled at the top of his lungs. If Lucy wasn't holding him back, he might have actually beat the crap out of Lucy's dad.

"Natsu! Stop it! Please!" She was still drowned out by his yelling.

"YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD! I DON'T EVER WANT YOU TO CALL OUR CHILD A MISTAKE EVER AGAIN! OUR CHILD IS NOT A MISTAKE! SO YOU BETTER SHUT YOUR MOUTH, YOU CRUEL SON OF A BITCH! IF YOU EVER TALK LIKE THAT TO LUCY AGAIN, I'LL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF!" Natsu was infuriated. He was trying to reach Lucy's dad, and he was stronger than Lucy, but he could see how Lucy didn't want him to hurt her father. So he held back.

"Natsu! Please! Go downstairs!" Lucy said, hanging on to his arm.

"Lucy, this-!" Natsu started.

"This man is my father. Please, Natsu. I know you're mad. Just let me handle this." Lucy looked up at Natsu with pleading eyes.

Natsu looked at her. He loved Lucy, inside and out, and if someone messes with her, then he'll step in. But when she's begging, he has no choice but to listen.

"Fine." Natsu said. He kissed her on the head, and stalked out, not wanting to look at 'his' face again.

"Lucy, I hope that incompetent, irrational fool wasn't really the father of your child. If he is, then I do not ever want him in my house ever again." Lucy's father said, with stormy eyes.

"Then I can not ever be in this house again, because that man is the father of my child." Lucy said, beginning to get a bit upset, after what he said about Natsu. Suddenly, Lucy smirked. "As a matter of fact, the first place we slept together was my room. In this house."

Lucy's father looked appalled. Before he could say anything, Lucy said icily, "Well then, I'll be off. I'm tired of you're stupid rules and personality. Goodbye, father."

She walked out. She hurried into her room, got all of her favorite clothes, a picture of her mother, and a few of her uniforms, and walked downstairs. No, she ran downstairs.

"Gray, go outside. Get the car started. My father might be coming down the stairs this second. Here, Natsu. Grab this." She threw the clothes at Natsu. He couldn't argue. He just caught all of her clothes, and ran out of the house.

"Lucy, what happened?" Natsu asked Lucy when they were in the car.

"Well, he's pissed off. And I'm not staying there. So I have to stay with someone." Lucy said, putting on her seatbelt.

"Then stay with me. Wendy adores you. And my parents always give me enough money for rent, food, and other stuff." Natsu said, grinning.

"Thanks, Natsu." She said, kissing him.

'Finally... Change in my life.'
