It's been a while, but I'm back to updating and writing! It's been a hectic start of the year and my laptop is banned from the internet, thus says our internet provider. So I write and edit everything on my glorified typewriter and upload it to my phone to upload it to FF. So much work XD but I hope you enjoy.
Peeps I love Fairy Tail, but Fairy Tail is property of Hiro Mashima.
Amber beer was pouring freely down the spout of many a keg, in the spirit of jubilation, as the Fairy Tail guild cheered loudly for the newly engaged couple. Tears were cascading down the faces of most of it's strong women. As the women wept amongst themselves in a corner, the men were found wise-cracking and patting poor Gajeel's back numb. Natsu was seen running around with the engagement cake, protecting it from the hungry clutches of Erza, who vowed she only wanted to lick the frosting and nothing more, but everyone saw the glint in her eyes, and that cake had one of two fates: be eaten by Titania or meet a clumsy fall on the hardwood floor, either way none were brave enough to intervene. Gray was found as his usual party post, on ice duty, serving drinks and keeping the ice sculptures cold. Wendy could be seen giggling and gossiping with Charle and Evergreen about Laxus and how he was elegantly passed out on the floor. Cana, upset and as rowdy as always, yelled profanities and insults at Gajeel, who refused to join her impromptu drinking contest. Elfman did what he did best, call everything a 'Man' and smile proudly at his physic, while Lisanna just giggled until she fell into the puddle of a woman Juvia had become.
"Next wedding it's going to be me and Gray-sama! You'll see!" The water woman proclaimed in a friendly bout of jealousy, as Gray cringed at the thought of being strapped to his psycho guild mate for the rest of his life. All in all, amongst the usual insanity that took place within the guild walls, Fairy Tail was just happy to welcome the spirit of new beginnings and felicity as the party continued.
Levy reminisced to about a week ago, when under the light of an ethereal full moon, Gajeel presented her with a crafted iron, ruby encrusted engagement ring. Overjoyed and ecstatic about the events that were soon to come, she informed Mira, the best party planner in all of Magnolia, to arrange this gathering in the guild to share their love and happiness, but there was something amiss. Looking at the happy faces, the full steins of bubbling beer, the exceeds flying contently around the wooden chandeliers; the tiny blue-haired script mage couldn't help but fill a bit sadden. Here she was amongst her family and friends, and Lucy was no where to be found. She begged Evergreen to disclose her location, to convince her friend to return, but apparently all the rumors were true. Without a warning, one day she just disappeared and ran into the arms of her beloved Saber. Sure who was she to get in the way of her friend's true happiness, but Lucy was supposed to be her maid of honor, her friend to confine all the secrets of her love affair with her beloved dragon. Instead of sharing in each others happiness, Lucy had abandoned her and ran into some random rabbit hole to never be found again. Obviously getting upset at the whereabouts of her once friend Lucy, Levy decided that there was a time and place for everything, she took a deep breath and decided to leave her broken heart alone and continue enjoying herself, with the friends and family, who actually wanted her to be happy.
From amongst the many overly occupied tables and floor place, the example of wizardry and mentor to all the young mages of the guild was laying atop the bar counter with the latest edition of Sorcerer's Weekly Bikini Magazine. Not only did the master of the guild have a questionable magazine in his possession, but he also had a very glutenous amount of snacks paired off with several bottles, kegs and canisters of alcohol for all to see. Wishing to be invisible, or at least ignored, the vertically challenged master stayed relatively quiet, except for some "Ooohs" and "Ahhhs" that would randomly escape his mouth. Unfortunately for the prestigious master, he was cursed to be bothered sooner or later.
"Master... sorry to um interrupt." Mira said awkwardly, as the tiny Fairy Tail leader was tending to a large canister of beer. An obvious tint of red adorned his usually pale, mustached face. With a lift of his brow, his curiosity seemed to peak. Approaching the short man, she bent down slowly, at least slowly enough for the master to take a good eyeful of her apparent cleavage, before she started to whisper quietly into his ear. Upon finishing her relay of information, his eyes bulged into the size of saucers as sweat trickled down his forehead. Acting with the utmost secrecy, he tried not to look too conspicuous as he made a drunken dash towards his office. Shutting the door behind, he proceeded to lock it with key and place a sound barrier rune. Taking his seat at his desk, he lightly cleared his throat as he greeted the Sabertooth guild master on his communication lacrima.
Meanwhile at the party, Levy was searching for Wendy who had seemed to disappear. Evergreen was nowhere to be seen either, and that had all the hairs on her arms standing. 'Surely, this has to do with Lucy.' The script mage thought as she sneaked her way to the infirmary.
"Lucy's pregnant!" Wendy yelled, as a quick hand tried to cover her loud mouth.
Somberly, Evergreen sighed, waving her fan frantically. Drinking had cause her mouth to run off and before she ruined Levy's engagement party, she had to let the cat out of the bag and confess this guild destroying, Class S rank gossip to someone of utmost trust. After her long talk with Gemini, the Fairy Queen had been on the verge of collapsing and becoming a stool pigeon. Everything was getting complicated; Levy was going to marry the father of Lucy's child, Gajeel was consumed in inexplicable guilt and Lucy was alone dealing with one of the worst situations she had lived to this point, and her fabricated half-truths had only worsen everything. She constantly asked herself: Did Lucy make it to Sabertooth, before the rumors? Did the dragons accept? Was her body doing well and how was she paying her rent? Her natural fingernails had been bitten off about a week ago and she had to glue fake nails, of all things on her bare nail bed, so they would go unnoticed.
From her guilty demeanor, Wendy felt compelled to console the older woman, as she placed her small hand upon her worrying head. Wanting to say something comforting, the small blue-haired girl, kept a tight lip as she caught a smell of Levy's scent. The two remained their quietly until Mira showed up. Cautiously, the white-haired barmaid approached the unlikely duo, until she was at a safe hearing distance.
"Could you two please follow me, Master is waiting for you in his office. It looks like it concerns Lucy and it seems to be urgent." The white-haired bar maid whispered, feeling Levy's presence nearby. Staring at each other, Ever and Wendy didn't hesitate and almost sprinted into the magically concealed office.
Master Makarov offered the two worried ladies a seat, which they so gladly took, as he explained the dire situation.
"Sting just called me from Sabertooth, and it doesn't look to pretty for Lucy. Apparently she's pregnant with-"
"Master don't! We both know!" Wendy interrupted her master.
"I never told you who, just that she was with child." Evergreen interjected, confused about the information in the young mage's arsenal.
"You never did, but I know who, so let's not utter his name." Wendy informed as she felt a disturbance in the magical runes.
After hearing the young mage speak with such authority, her sixth sense started to surface. 'How much does this child actually know?' The older woman thought, analyzing the extreme secrecy Lucy had tried to keep during this entire ordeal.
"Well, anyways, apparently both Sting and Rogue gave the child their magic, causing high magic toxicity and Lucy has become ill. Their medics can't do anything and Loke said that you, Wendy, would be able to make her process run smoothly." Makarov said as he gave both women an official request from Sting to come aid their beloved celestial mage.
Getting back to the party, the two female mages pretended that everything was fine, as a bitter script mage stared incredulously. 'How could they keep this from me?' Levy thought as she shared drinks and smiles with her loyal friends, while holding hands tightly with Gajeel.
"Oi Shrimp, can you loosen your grip a bit? Can't feel my hand." Gajeel's rough voice resonated in her ear, bringing a strong blush to her face. His velvet voice echoed her back to reality, taking off her hawk-like eyes away from the betraying pair. Smiling sincerely, she apologized to her fiancee, who only ruffled up her blue hair. Forgetting about Wendy and Ever momentarily, Levy refocused her loving gaze towards Gajeel.
Unbeknownst to the lovely pair, Wendy was just waiting for the perfect time to make her grand exit from the crowded guild hall. Once out of Levy's heated gaze, Charle, Ever and Wendy made their way to Fairy Hills dormitory to gather their supplies.
'Lucy please wait for us.' Wendy thought as they vanished into the night, to save the life of their beloved friend.
Meanwhile in Sabertooth's infirmary: Lucy was drenched in sweat, gasping for air, and burning to the touch. Sting and Rogue had their hearts in the right place, but their execution of their unison had done more harm than good. Lucy had fainted and was drained completely of her Celestial Magic and before she died from magic exhaustion, both of them thought they could save her life by pouring a unison form of their magic into her body. She seemed fine at first, they were eating and laughing at the names the exceeds came up for the baby, when all of a sudden the color from her face drained as she fainted and fell of her chair. Burning in a high fever, and unable to stay conscious for too long, they called their medic, who concluded she had magic poisoning.
Loke had warned them both, but they thought he was over reacting, so they decided to not to contact the young sky dragon. Filled with guilt and remorse, Sting did the responsible thing and contacted Makarov and explained the situation. He demanded and yelled desperately for the young girl to leave immediately. As Sting wrote an official request and sent it to Makarov, Rogue nervously stayed next to Lucy.
"We're suppose to be a family. Don't die." Rogue whispered tenderly to the baby in Lucy's womb, as he wiped the sweat off her forehead.
