Lucy was sitting next to Natsu who was in the guild's infirmary. She was aware for the staring and the whispers. Ten minutes ago Porlyusica came to heal and found the poison. Thankfully she extracted it all out, and put him on some type medicine that drinkable. The healer also looked over Lucy and Nashi to see if they had anything wrong with them, aside from being exhausted they were healthy. Even though Lucy was tired she just couldn't sleep, not when Natsu needed her. The door open to reveal a short old man in an orange jacket with blue trimming, underneath was a white shirt with the guild's mark, he also had on orange shorts, and a orange and blue hat. He walked over to the bed that Natsu was in, and took a seat across from her.
"Hello there you may already know this but my name is Makarov Dreyar, I am the master of this guild. If you don't mind me asking what is your name dear?"
"My name is Lucy."
"That's a very pretty name. Where you from?"
"Someplace far away from here."
"Okay and how did you find you way here?"
"I took the train."
"Look I'm just going to cut to the chase here, what is your relationship with Natsu?"He asked seriously. She looked at him for a little bit, contemplating whether to tell the truth or not. She thought against it because he seem like a truth worthy person.
"We have a romantic relationship, obviously or we wouldn't have gotten her." She said pointing to a crib Lucy found and was now using. The older man looked surprised which she couldn't really blame him. Usually when you thinks of romantic emotions you don't think of Natsu being able to understand them. He looked over at the baby.
"She looks resembles you greatly. You wouldn't have even known it was Natsu's if she didn't have pink hair."
"That's what Natsu says. Of course there are other people that have pink hair."
"True. How did you meet Natsu in the first place?" She was expecting him to ask so she on to tell him about the pub, her father, meeting back up with Natsu, living with Natsu. By the time she was done she was ready to go to sleep.
"I sorry to hear about your father, but you two could have told us. We're Fairytail that means we protect each other because we are family, and Lucy you and Nashi are part of that family. Now from the looks of it you need to get some sleep. Don't worry I'll be here to look them and I'll wake you up if either one of them wakes up." He said. She nodded and jumped in the bed next to Natsu and let the darkness take over. Three hours later Lucy woke up to the sound of Nashi crying and someone shaking her.
"Lucy dear wake up your little girl is hungry and I certainly can't feed her." The master joked. She sat up and stretched. She then took the baby and preceded to breastfeed. He turned around to give her some privacy.
"How long was I asleep for?"
"Almost three hours. There has been no change in Natsu. Of course it could take some time for him to wake up since he was poisoned."
"Oh." She signed. She really did wish that Natsu would wake up. Being without him was like not having any sunshine.
"How is Happy doing?" She asked.
"He is alright, he woke up about two hours ago. He came up here to check on you and Natsu. He's probably downstairs now worrying like all the others are doing. Do you know who did this?"
"...Yes, I know who ordered the men to do this. The man who did this was the one who I was supposed to marry. He is part of the Cullen family, they own a successfully newspaper company that ship all over the world, but they also have a hand in the mafia business as well."
"Your father would let you marry someone like that?"
"If the person has money it doesn't matter to him." She said with a bitter smile. He shook his head disgusted with the man. They continued to talk until Nashi begin to fall asleep, her mother burped her and put her back in the crib. Lucy stared at her for a while, thankful that her baby wasn't harmed.
"You know it's late I believe I'll be going to sleep soon, I suggest you do the same as well, you look like you could use the sleep."
"So you're saying I look like shit right now."
"I wasn't going say it quite like that but essentially yes you do look ragged."
"Geez thanks but you're right I need some more sleep, so I guess I'll see you in the morning, Master."
"Yes in the morning my child. Goodnight." He said opening the door.
"Goodnight." She answered and got into bed and slept.
Crying that was what Natsu woke up to, the sound of a baby crying, his baby. He peeked his eyes open only to shut them again because it was too bright. He tried again to see a ceiling. He turned his head to where he heard the baby. He saw Nashi in her mother's arms crying her eyes out while Lucy tried to settle her down. He opened his mouth to speak but it was so dry that it was difficult.
"Lucy." He said with crock. She looked up at him and started to tear up.
"Natsu, oh thank God you're awake. Can I get you anything?"
"wa..(Cough)..Water please?"
"Okay I'll be right back. I'll set Nashi right next to you so she can see her daddy. I believe she was starting to miss you." She said with a smile, she left the room leaving the two alone. Nashi instantly stopped crying when she heard her father's voice. He gently sat up even though it cause him pain. He picked her up and held her close to him, thanking Mavis that he got another chance to spend time with her and Lucy.
"Hey baby girl, sorry for giving you two such a scare. I hope I don't do that to you again, but you never know what your old man is going to stir up next." He whispered to the little girl while tickling her foot making her laugh. He lived for though toothless laughs, they brought so much joy and happiness to his heart, he would do anything to keep that smile on her face. He felt ashamed that he was beaten so easily by that bastard. He wanted to get stronger, for them and for himself. Lucy came in which a glass of water and a Happy.
"Here you go Natsu, sorry it took me so long I had to answer questions from everybody down there." She said handing the cup over to him. He took a big gulp before setting it down.
"How is everyone?"
"They are worried, but when I came down and told you woke up they were relieved."
"That's good. So when can I get out of this bed?"
"You just woke up, you need to rest and build up your strength. So I would say two or three days but we have to wait until Polyusica comes and checks on you." She said taking his hand.
"When will that be?"
"The master sent out a man named Jet who apparently has speed magic so I would say in ten minutes." He nodded and looked at their hands intertwined in each other.
"You know I feel bad putting you though that. If I had been stronger I would have been able to take care of those guys without any problem, and you wouldn't have found the way you did."
"Natsu you are the strongest person I know. You have put all the financial stress on yourself, that night so long ago you protected me from myself. That night was not a good night for me. I came close to just calling it quit and ending it all, if it had not been for you I would have died by my own hands. For that I thank you, for being the lovable very dense man that you are." She said kissing him on the lips. He had not that she was thinking about killing herself. That was a scary thought, he could have lost the best thing that's ever happen to him. Suddenly the door open to reveal the pink-haired healer and Fairytail's third Guild master. She went over to him and started a scan of the injuries, she also drew some blood to check to see if there was any poison still in there. She ran the test to see that there was no more poison left and she changed the bandages.
"So when can he get out of bed?" Macarov asked.
"The wound itself isn't all that bad however do to the blade that was used, and depending on how clean the blade was, he could get an infection very easily so I would suggest, that he stay in bed until the wound has had time to close more."
"And how long is that going to be?" Natsu asked.
"I don't know just depends on how fast you heal."
"Couldn't you just heal it really fast?" He asked.
"Usually I would but with a cut of this magnitude I would just want it to heal on its own. With you I would say the wound should be healed in three or more days." The healer said while putting her tools back in the bag and left.
"Great I get to spend 72 hours in this place." Natsu whined.
"It could be worse. Your mouth could have been wrap up and then we wouldn't have been to hear you whine." Lucy said with a smirk.
"Shut up. So Gramps what brings you up here, well besides me of course?
"Well when you were unconscious Lucy told me about her life and how she said that the person who did this to you was her to be husband."
"Yeah what about it?"
"Well I called in some favors and I found out some things on the guy. His name is Jeffery Cullen, he is 45 years old, and he is the sole heir to his family's fortunes. He also has a bad temper when he doesn't get his way. He has had three wives that have all gone missing after three or four years into the marriage, and he has had no children that we could find." Lucy looked terrified, she could have been missing wife number four.
"Why are you tell us this?"
"Well you know how Fairytail is. We can take a lot of things, but when you harm a person from this guild we retaliate. So what I'm telling you is that when you are better we are going after this son of a bitch."
