Here's Chappie 2 :)

Thanks to everyone who reviewed :)

Lucy glanced over at Cana. She was still staring out the window. Porlyusica had stepped outside shortly after Cana's confession and had yet to come back. Laxus. What the hell had Cana been doing with Laxus?

"His birthday was two weeks ago." Cana said softly as if in answer to Lucy's silent question. Lucy cocked her head in response not quite understanding what the answer meant.

"Huh?"

"Laxus. His birthday party was two weeks ago."

'Well that explains some.' Lucy thought. Master Makarov had insisted on throwing a birthday party much to his grandson's displeasure. And much like any other Fairy Tail party this one had been rowdy and didn't end until everyone passed out from excessive booze intake. Except Cana and the birthday boy it seemed.

"I didn't realize you two were together.

Cana snorted.

"We aren't. It was a single night of too much alcohol and bad decisions."

Lucy didn't quite know what to say to that. She never thought that alcohol could actually affect Cana's decision making. She had thought the brunette was immune to that.

"Are you going to tell him?"

Cana didn't answer. She didn't know if she should. While he should know he fathered a child Cana was afraid at how he would react to the whole situation. She couldn't really see Laxus in the role of a father, but then again she never thought of herself as a soon-to-be mother either. Of course getting rid of the baby would mean she wouldn't have to tell anybody but she wasn't sure she'd be able to do that either. Only two weeks inside of her and the little thing was already causing problems.

"Lucy if you were in my position what would you do?"

"Tell the father and have the baby." Lucy didn't even hesitate.

Cana sighed. She knew that was coming and it was just as unhelpful as she thought it was going to be.

"I mean how bad could it really be?" Lucy continued optimistically not noticing Cana's skeptical look, "This will be the first Fairy Tail baby… well second I suppose. Bisca and Al kind of beat you to the punch."

Cana gave her an un-amused look.

"You make it sound like I went out and purposely got pregnant."

"Jeez Cana relax, I'm just joking."

"Relax? How can I relax? My life just ended!" Cana's fists were clenched at her sides and she half stood from her chair. She was angry: angry at Lucy for asking questions she didn't want to think about, angry at the lightening dragon slayer for seducing her, and angry at herself for getting into this predicament.

"You're stressing yourself out needlessly." Porlyusica said from the door. She had finally come back.

"Where did you go?" Lucy asked curiously.

"Makarov was supposed to visit me so I headed him off and sent him back to the guild. I didn't think you were ready to make a public announcement." That last sentence was directed at Cana who sighed in relief.

"Thank you."

"He also mentioned that Gildarts was back in town." Cana froze.

"Gildarts? Why is he back so suddenly?" Lucy asked alarmed. She knew that Cana wanted to keep her father in the dark about the pregnancy although she couldn't understand why. Now that Gildarts was back it would be much harder. Porlyusica shrugged in answer to the question before handing Cana a small bottle.

"Drink that. Gildarts is looking for you and I doubt you want him to know you've been sick." Porlyusica watched as Cana downed her potion before speaking again.

"You have until the end of the week before I need a final decision." She said before turning her back on them clearly dismissing them.

"What did she mean by final decision?" Lucy asked as they walked back to Magnolia.

"She wants me to decide whether or not I'm keeping the kid."

Lucy didn't respond. It was Cana's decision no matter what Lucy's opinion was. Cana remained lost in her jumbled thoughts for the rest of the walk to the guild.

It was rowdy as usual and it seemed that everybody was there for Gildarts' return. Master Makarov sat on the bar counter, drink in hand watching his children run amok. Laxus sat with the Raijinshuu in the back corner talking quietly. Gildarts himself was in the center of the room fending off Natsu, Gajeel and Gray with one hand and drinking from the other. It was these three and these three only that Cana took note of as she entered the guild hall. She made her way to the bar hoping that no one would notice her.

"CANA!"

No such luck. With a swing of his arms Gildarts sent Natsu, Gajeel, Gray and his drink flying. And then he was racing towards his daughter. With a sigh Cana side stepped the intended bear hug and because of his momentum Gildarts went head first over the bar counter. Cana sighed again as the guild erupted into laughter. Of all the crazy old men she could have ended up with as a father it had to be the clingiest.

"Cana!" Gildarts was pouting at her making her roll her eyes. Ignoring him she sat st the bar and glanced at Mira.

"Het Mira can I get a glass of water?" she asked quietly. Beside her Lucy beamed glad to know her friend was thinking of the child she was carrying. The few others that had heard her request, Mira, Makarov, Gildarts, Wakaba and Macao, however stared at her in shock.

"Um sure thing Cana." Mira said sweetly, recovering quickly. The men however continued to stare. Cana ignored them completely but Lucy was starting to feel uneasy. She had forgotten how abnormal it was for Cana to order anything but booze. In fact Lucy couldn't remember a time where she had seen the brunette drink anything but. If she kept this up the guild would know in no time.

"Um Cana what are you doing?" she whispered.

"I can't drink remember?" Cana mumbled back.

"But they're all staring!"

"So? Let them. I don't need to explain myself to them." Cana then shifted her gaze to the wall in front of her and stared at it miserably.

"Here you are Cana." Mira said as she placed a mug of water in front of Cana.

"A glass would have been fine Mira."

"Well you don't want everyone knowing you're not drinking alcohol right?"

Lucy and Cana glanced uneasily at each other.

"Um I guess." Cana mumbled before taking a sip. The cool liquid slipped down her throat satisfying her thirst but damn did she miss her booze.

"So who's the new man?" Mira asked sweetly. Cana spat the water across the bar narrowly missing the smiling barmaid.

"Wha-?"

"That's why you aren't drinking right, and why you haven't been at the guild lately?"

Cana stare at her speechlessly as Lucy giggled beside.

"Who!? Who is it that has my Cana's affections?" Gildarts thundered from nearby. He had been sitting with the Master since Cana asked for water, staring at his daughter with worry. But now his father instincts kicked in vowing to smash any and all who wasn't good enough for his Cana. Which was anyone really.

"There is no man." Cana growled, glaring at Mira. Lucy had quieted and was staring out across the guild. Mira's smile widened.

"Of course not Cana. We wouldn't want to worry poor Gildarts now would we?"

Cana continued to glare suspiciously at the demon barmaid as she walked away. This wasn't the first and certainly not the last time Mira stuck her nose where it wasn't wanted. Gildarts sat gloomily next to the Master mumbling how his beloved Cana didn't love him seeing as she kept ignoring him. And Cana continued to ignore her tearful father as she glanced in Lucy's direction.

"What's wrong Lucy?"

"It's going to be a lot harder then I thought in keeping your secret a secret." She said quietly. Lucy had only just realized how difficult keeping a secret in this guild really was.

"Yeah I know." Cana responded as her eyes wandered around the hall. She let them rest briefly on the lightening dragon slayer talking to Fried before quickly averting her gaze. There was no need to think about him.

"Cana you're back."

Cana looked up, startled to suddenly find Gray standing behind her.

"Oh uh yea hi."

"This is perfect." Gray looked absolutely thrilled, "Do you want to go on a request with us?"

"Us?" Lucy echoed. Gray nodded.

"Erza's busy today and flame brain found this request he absolutely wants to go on. Since Cana's here she can fill in for Erza."

Lucy frowned. Knowing Natsu he had picked a request involving a lot of physical activity and a whole lot more danger.

"What's the request?" Cana asked curiously.

"Hunting mountain bandits or something like that."

Lucy sighed. She knew Natsu way too well.

"Sure why not. I'll come." Cana said with a shrug. She was going to need as much money as she could save anyway. Especially since she may not be going on requests for much longer.

"Uh are you sure Cana?" Lucy sounded panicky.

"Cana can handle herself Luce." Gray said frowning at his blonde friend.

"Yeah but-"

"It's fine Lucy. It's not like I'm going alone."

"You guys are weird." Happy stated. Both he and Natsu had finally shown up catching the end of the conversation.

"We all ready?" Natsu asked eyes shining. Lucy sighed again. She had a bad feeling about this.

~CA~

Lucy sighed. She had lost count of the number of times she has sighed since finding Cana in her living room yesterday morning. God was it really only yesterday that Cana confessed her secret? It seemed like forever ago. Speaking of the card wielding mage she was no where to be seen in the large cavern the rest of the group was in.

"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" Natsu shouted as he finished off the remaining low level bandits.

"Too easy." He said with a pout. Gray was looking around with a frown, stripped down to his boxers once again.

"Doesn't seem like the boss was here." He commented. Natsu's face brightened.

"Oi where's Cana?" the ice mage asked suddenly realizing the brunette wasn't there. Lucy felt like crying. What a bunch of idiots.

"She never made it here. She must have gotten lost in the tunnels." Lucy responded gloomily. This is exactly why she hadn't wanted Cana to come.

"Oh man. She'll probably find the boss first." Natsu was pouting again. Lucy on the other hand felt her heart constrict. Cana could be in trouble.

"Let's go find her." She said turning toward the tunnel entrance.

"I told you she can take care of herself." Gray said. Lucy felt her patience snap.

"She's been sick you fool. She's not better yet so she might be in trouble."

Gray blinked.

"Sick?"

Lucy didn't respond. She was already heading back to the tunnels.

~CA~

Cana wanted to laugh. I mean how could she not seeing the predicament she was in. Separated from her friends and staring into the leering face of the boss bandit. Why the hell didn't she listen to Lucy?

"There's just one of you?" The boss bandit- what was his name again?- asked again.

"Uh yea looks that way." Cana responded with a nervous chuckle. She placed a hand inside her bag grasping a few of her cards. The boss bandit was laughing.

"Impossible. One little girl could not have defeated all of my minions and found me."

Cana's anger flared at 'little girl' but then she snorted. Minions?

"You're 'minions' were pushovers." Cana stated even though she hadn't actually fought against any. The boss bandit's eyes narrowed and a sword appeared in each of his hands. Cana tensed. Magic weapons. As long as she kept him at a distance she would be fine. Hopefully he wasn't that strong.

"Well then let's see how good you really are little girl."

Cana didn't bother waiting for him to finish. She had already thrown a handful of cards in his direction, each one exploding as they made contact with something. Big explosions.

'Oops too much magic.' Cana thought as she quickly moved to her left. She didn't think she had put so much magic into the attack but it had been awhile since the last time she used this attack. Cana pulled out three more cards waiting for the dust to settle. As it did she noticed the boss bandit hadn't moved, in fact he could barely stand.

"So you were this strong." He wheezed. Strong? Cana? Well she didn't think so. The boss bandit managed to stand straighter and settled into an attacking stance. Once again Cana didn't give him a chance and raised the three cards above her head.

"Cana!" Cana heard Lucy call out behind her. It seemed like the others finally found her. But the boss bandit had eyes only for her and he began running in her direction.

"Lightening! Reverse tower! Lovers! Jolt of Fate!" The boss bandit screamed as Cana's card combo electrocuted him and caused the whole room to shake. Cana frowned as the boss bandit collapsed unconscious and pieces of the cavern ceiling fell.

'Too strong again.' She thought.

"Cana are you okay?" Lucy had run up to her, the boys right behind her.

"Hmm? Oh yea." She responded absentmindedly. She had lowered the amount of magic she had put into her combination and yet it still did so much damage.

"That was pretty cool Cana." Natsu's eyes were shining again, "Do you want to fi-"

"When did you get so strong Cana?" Gray asked curiously. Cana shrugged pushing away her thoughts. She turned toward the boss bandit whom Happy was trying to tie up but after a step she felt her knees buckle beneath her. She had no idea who caught her as she slipped into unconsciousness.
