Chapter 6:

Bad day Gone Worse Got Better

Natsu and Lucy had been dating for over three months, and Lucy was super happy as she made her morning coffee and went through that morning's mail. "Morning Lucy," Happy sang as he came in the kitchen for breakfast.

"Morning Happy, would you rather have waffles, pancakes, or french toast for breakfast," Lucy asked with a smile.

"Thats an easy one," Happy responded as he got on the seat at the breakfast bar, swinging his feet like any child would when they sat on a tall chair, "WAFFLES!"

"I figured," Lucy spoke then placed a plate of waffles with bacon in front of Happy.

"Thanks Lucy," Happy cheered as he began to dig into the food before him.

It was less than a minute later and the phone started ringing, Lucy answered as she said, "Hello, Lucy Heartfilia speaking."

"Lucy, it's Ms Spetto," the women spoke, "I have news regarding your father."

"My dad, whats wrong," Lucy asked and she went from zero to hundred real fast.

"Your father is dying," Spetto said and Lucy was shocked.

"Lucy, whats wrong," Happy asked and Lucy snapped back to reality.

"How does he have," Lucy spoke.

"Doctors are saying a month and half," Spetto replied and Lucy's eyes began to water.

"Alright, I'll see what I can do and get back to you," Lucy respond.

"Alright, Lucy dear, I wish I could have called you with happier news," Spetto spoke.

"Yeah, me too," Lucy replied an she glanced over at Happy who had a worried look on his face.

"Thank you Lucy, I will talk to you later," Spetto said.

"Yes, thank you for calling, Ms Spetto," Lucy respond, " Good bye."

"Good bye, Lucy," Spetto replied then Lucy hung up the phone and she looked at the time.

"Looks like it's time to go," Lucy spoke then she grabbed her purse and headed for the door and she dropped the mail. As Lucy picked up the mail, she saw a letter and in the top left corner was the words Zeref Law firm. Since the letter seemed kinda important so Lucy just shoved it in her purse and made her way the door and to her car with Happy close behind her.

Lucy had gotten off work at one o'clock instead her usually five because she was an emotional wreck and could focus on her work so her boss let her leave early. So Lucy decided to visit Natsu and hopefully get the support and comfort she needed. Lucy walked out the elevator and Kianna looked at her with a smile that quickly disappeared as she realized how distressed Lucy was. "Lucy, whats wrong," Kianna asked.

"I need to see Natsu, please," Lucy spoke and Kianna picked up her phone and called into Natsu's office.

"Send her in," Natsu said and Lucy rushed in with tears spilling out of her eyes, "Lucy, whats wrong?"

"My father's dying," Lucy respond as she landed in Natsu's arms and he held her close.

"Aww, Lucy, I'm so sorry," Natsu replied while Lucy continued to cry on his shoulder then he saw the corner of a letter peeked out of her purse, "Whats that?"

"I don't know," Lucy responded as she wiped her tears off on her sleeve, "It came in the mail today."

Natsu pulled it out and saw who the sender was and he freaked out. "Why would he send you a letter," Natsu asked as he looked it over carefully.

"Whats wrong Natsu," Lucy questioned.

"Zeref is my brother," Natsu responded, "He has hated my guts since I got the company."

"Why would he go after me then," Lucy asked and they both looked over the letter.

"Lets find out," Natsu said then they opened the letter and it:

Dear Lucy Heartfilia,

It has come to the attention of my client Bickslow Barukan has requested custody over Happy Strauss. He is willing to do all and any DNA test that is requested and only requests that he get spin time with Happy and a small amount of Lisanna's estate.

My client and I both ask you to please expect the following terms, which are to allow him to see Happy Strauss at least three times a week and to give him 25% of Ms Lisanna Strauss's estate. My client does not wish to get involved in a legal but if found necessary, he will pursue to get his rights. This means that my client will take you to court and where he will make the terms were he will get to keep Happy Strauss and claim 90% of Ms Lisanna Strauss's estate. Please contact with your answer on the terms by calling (555)555-5555 which is the number for my law firm.

Sincerely

Zeref Dragneel

"First my dad," Lucy spoke then the tears began to roll down her cheeks, "Now, Bickslow wants to take Happy away from me when the fucking dick head wanted nothing to do with him or Lisanna. And they know I won't expect they're fucking terms. This whole letter is complete bullshit. Natsu, what I am going to do!"

"Lucy, relax," Natsu said and he wiped away the tears.

"Natsu… I'm a waitress, the only reason I have Happy is because I am the only one Lisanna trusted to take of him," Lucy cried and Natsu put a finger under her chin and lifted her chin as wiped the tears away.

"Lucy Heartfilia, please don't cry," Natsu spoke then he planted his lips on hers and Lucy's tears began to slow down, "I can not stand it when you cry. My heart breaks when I see those tears fall."

"How else can I get out my pain," Lucy asked as she sniffled.

"I'm not saying that you shouldn't cry," Natsu responded as he began to search his right pocket for something, "But I am saying I would love to cheer you up, to bring that wonderful, beautiful smile of yours back to your gorgeous face."

"How would you do that," Lucy asked as she sniffled little more.

"By doing this," Natsu replied, then get pulled out a black box and got on one knee as he cleared his throat, "Lucy Heartfilia, I have loved you for so long and so much that I am asking you to make me the happiest man alive by taking my hand in marriage. So Lucy Heartfilia, will you marry me?"

"Oh Natsu," Lucy spoke then she wrapped her arms around his neck, "Yes, Natsu, yes. I will marry!"

"You that everyone! LUCY SAID YES!" Makarov yelled over the intercoms.

"How did he," Lucy began to ask then Kianna opened the door.

"Sorry Natsu, Makarov wanted to talk you and I told him you busy… And I told you with Lucy and put his ear to the door," Kianna explained while Natsu faced palmed and Lucy's face went from normal to tomato red super fast.

"Everyone is invited to the Sun Diner to Celebrate," Makarov shouted over the intercom and the building shook as everyone cheered.

"I guess I'm taking you and Happy to Sun Diner," Natsu spoke and Lucy laughed a little.

Dear Readers,

So rollercoaster of a chapter, am I right! I was so not sure how I was going to end this chapter but I knew I wanted to end it on high note so I came up the proposal and it was prefect and kinda inspired by my parents, mom was upset about something so dad proposed to her and it shocked her so much that it made her forget the whole reason she was upset. Oh yeah, I hope the big time skips don't bother everyone since they kinda seem to be happening a lot in this story but they help keep the story moving so I think its a good thing. Anyways, time to reply to the reviewers:
