Hi everybody! This chapter is a lot shorter then the others but I thought Gildarts deserved his own chapter and I didn't want you guys waiting forever for the next update. Enjoy and please please please review :)

"This is ridiculous." Cana muttered as she plopped down on the front step of her father's house. She knew he was home and yet 20 minutes of banging on the door didn't reveal her overbearing father at all. She had been dreading coming, dreading the conversation they needed to have and now hw was unknowingly making her suffer even more.

"Are you gonna come in or what?" Gildarts' voice said from behind her. Cana jumped up and spun around. She hadn't heard the door open.

"H-hey." She mumbled looking down. She was suddenly afraid of his reaction. Cana had not gone to the guild after returning from Odessa. She had barely said goodbye to the group at the train station before bolting for home. She knew that the entire guild would know about her pregnancy seconds after Mira walked through the guild doors. Cana hadn't wanted to be there. But that also meant she hadn't seen Gildarts' initial reaction to hearing that his one and only daughter was pregnant. Cana glanced up after a few seconds realizing that Gildarts wasn't saying anything: No screaming, no yelling, not even a single sob. Seeing his usual grin on his face caused Cana to internally groan.

"When did you get back? I haven't been to the guild since yesterday morning." He didn't know.

"Um yesterday afternoon." Cana responded nervously as she stepped past him.

"Ha. I knew no mountain could defeat my daughter." Gildarts stated proudly as he shut the door. Cana was suddenly feeling a little claustrophobic and fought down her urge to run. She forced herself to collapse into one of the chairs noting that there was a bottle of sake on the table as she did so. And just as her eyes landed on it Gildarts picked it up.

"Would you like some?"

"Um no." Cana said quickly turning her head, but not before catching the frown on his face, "I uh actually need to talk to you about something."

Gildarts nodded and sat down staring intently at his daughter, his very nervous daughter. The silence stretched into minutes as Cana struggled to figure out how to tell him. Cana inhaled deeply and let the breath trickle from her mouth at a much slower pace.

"I'm pregnant." She stated. Gildarts who was taking a drink as she said it spat his sake out all over his daughter. Then he laughed.

"I must be getting old." He said. Cana raised an eyebrow.

"I thought you said you were pregnant." He continued taking another sip.

"I did."

Gildarts spat his drink out again.

"What the hell old man!?" Cana snapped jumping up and grabbing a towel.

"Who!? Who did this? Who violated my little Cana?" Gildarts roared jumping up.

"None of your damn business!"

"Of course it's my business! I need to beat up the ass that touched my daughter!"

"And that's why I'm not telling you!"

Gildarts paused to take a good look at his daughter. She was panting slightly, her face scrunched up and red from anger, and her hands balled into fists. Never before had Cana reminded him so much of Cornelia. Gildarts sighed and sat back in his chair, gesturing for her to do the same. Cana hesitated a moment before sitting down.

"Do you love him?" Gildarts asked seriously.

"Who?"

"The father Cana."

Cana snorted.

"No I don't."

Gildarts' face turned to one of concern.

"Look it was a mistake that it even happened." Cana paused, her eyes taking on a faraway look, "But that doesn't mean I'm going to make my child pay for my stupidity."

Gildarts smiled as he stood and wrapped his daughter in a hug.

"Despite the circumstances I'm proud of you Cana and I'll stand behind you with every decision you make."

Cana smiled a little.

"But you know I would still like to know who fathered my grandchild."

Cana groaned.

"I promise not to kill them." Gildarts said with a big smile.

"I'll think about it." Cana muttered looking away from her idiotic father.

"Please Cana." Gildarts turned on the full effects of his pout and puppy-dog eyes for Cana to see. She merely rolled her eyes and then she sighed.

"It was… someone at the guild."

"Gray? Macao?"

"Why would you guess Gray? And no." Cana bit her lip pausing momentarily. What's the worse that could happen? Really?

"It was Laxus." Cana whispered. Gildarts' face turned comical and Cana would have laughed if she hadn't seen his hands clench into fists.

"Old man." She warned softly. Gildarts took a deep breath and fixed his daughter with a curious look.

"I wouldn't have thought of him." He finally admitted. Cana just shrugged. She didn't really want to think about it.

"When will you tell him?"

"I won't."

"Cana you really need to- " Gildarts paused, interrupted by a knock on the door. He stood to answer only to watch it as it flew wide open. Natsu stood in the opening, a wide grin on his face.

"Cana! Mira is planning on throwing you a party!" Natsu said once laying eyes on the brunette, " Lucy said I run faster that's why she sent me."

Cana's forehead made an audible smack on the table as she let her head drop.

"Why can't you people leave me alone?"

Oh poor Cana. Cause she doesn't have enough to worry about. Fairy Tail party next chapter :)
