Fairy Tail and all it's characters do NOT belong to me. I make no profit from this work and it is written purely for my own pleasure!

See author's note below.

Last time...

That was when I notice everyone was staring at us. I looked over to Freed and he didn't seem to notice or care, as we walked side by side down the stairs. As we reached the bottom to separate, I look towards the back corner of the hall where Levy usually sits with Gajeel and waved at her. She notices me and bid her farewell to Gajeel and headed for the door. I took one last glance at freed to see that he was looking at me. I smiled at him and told him goodbye and that I would sit with his group tomorrow to tell them more about the mission. And just like that, we went our separate ways.

On to the story...

Lucy's Point of View.

After I said goodbye to Freed, I waved goodbye to my my fellow guild mates as I headed to the door where Levy was waiting for me, since we had a girls day planned.

"Hi Lucy!" She said ecstatically as she hugged me.

"Levy! I miss you this past month. It seems like it has been forever since we last hanged out!" I said with just as much excitement.

"I know. That's why today is dedicated to the both of us catching up!" She responded. "Let's go to the cafe around the corner so we can get a bite to eat and I can tell you all about my mission with Gajeel, and you can tell my what has been going on with you and what's up with you and Freed today!"she squealed.

I sweat dropped as she yelled right in my ear. "Let's go." I said as she grabbed my hand to drag me along beside her to the little cafe down the street from the guild "There is nothing going on between Freed and I! That would be just wrong! " I yelled. "Besides, Mira would probably kill me if I try anything. Those two have been quite close lately." I added. We sat down at a two persons table, across from one another. And ordered our food and drinks making small talk before our food came to us. It didn't take long for our food to arrive, we thanked the waitress and began to eat.

"What do you mean earlier, that its wrong with you and Freed to get together?" She asked. "I think both of you would make a cute couple. But you are right Mira and Freed has been spending quite sometime together when they are at the guild."

"Well," I ponder for a second, debating whether or not to tell her about my recent finding. Figuring out that it couldn't hurt me that someone else besides myself knew about it, and maybe she would help me decide what my next plan of action is regarding this situation, I decided it was best if I told her, since she is my best friend. "Well, you see I found out from my dad after the whole Phantom Lord incident that we aren't the only two left in our family that is still alive." I paused.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Well you see, my mother, her whole side of the family are all gone, but my father, he still have family that are living. I was able to read in one of his letters he wrote to me before he passed away. In the letter he said that his brother was still alive and married. He has two nephews and a niece."

"Oh my, Lucy.." Levy started to say, but Lucy cut her off, pulling out the letter.

"This was one of the last letters he left me before he passed. It explains every thing." Lucy said as tears started forming in her eyes. "It's better if you read it."

Levy took the letter from Lucy and began to read.

'My dearest Lucy,

I know that after everything I put you through as a child, that I don't deserve your forgiveness. But I know you would give it to me if i asked. I love you my Little Lucky. I wish you were here, I still have hope that you and your fellow mages are still alive.

There's something that I kept from you, that I think you should know. I wish I was able to tell you face to face, but I am not well my child, and I'm afraid that you won't come back in time for me to tell you. I am not an only child in which I made you believe.

My parents have long since passed, but I have an older brother who is still alive. He was 8 years older me, and we never got along. I don't really know much about him since I left after he gotten married when I was 16.

I should probably tell you why I left my family. It's funny, my childhood was somewhat similar to yours. My mother died after giving birth to me, and my father was never the same after that. He worked long hours and neglected me while he train my brother to become his heir.

There's a saying "the apple doesn't fall far from a tree," as I grew up and married and had you, I became the man that I vow I would never be like. When your mom died, it felt like my whole world had ended as well, so I threw my self into my work.

I know I should've been there for you, as I promise your mother, but the grief was to hard on me. I wish you were here so I could make it up to you.

Please don't go looking for your uncle. I've have met him a couple of years ago. He's not a good man. But I can tell you, your aunt, his wife, and his eldest son and daughter knows about you. I have talked to them as I was leaving from meeting your uncle. They are good people.

They have another son, the middle child. I believe you know him my daughter. He's a mage apart of the guild you are in. Fairy Tail. His name is Freed.

He ran away from home when he was younger as well from what my nephew has told me. I know more, but it is not my story to tell.

I love you my Lucky Lucy, and I await your return.

Your father.'

"Oh Lucy!" She exclaimed and got up to hug me. "This is a lot to take in."

"Tell me about it" I murmured as tears started gathering in my eyes.

We stood there for a moment with Levy still hugging me.

"Your not alone anymore Lu," She whisper into my ear. "You never were before, but you have blood family now that is still alive."

I gently squeeze her one more time into the hug and let go of her. "That's one of the reasons why I invited Freed to join in the mission with me. I feel like he deserves to know. But more so, he is family. The only blood related family I have left. And I want to get to know him. I want to be to get to know the family I never had." I added while wiping the tears that we're starting to form.

"Thank you Levy, that means so much to me" I replied as I hugged her back. "Enough with this conversation! Let's finish our meal and get to shopping!" I yelled.

A/N: Sorry for the two year hiatus. But a lot has happen to me for the passed two years. During the posted of the last chapter, I was still in the military, and I was station in Turkey, about 50 miles away from the Syrian border and thing during that time was really crazy. During that time I didn't have access to my phone and it was really hard to reach my family any time I want, so when I came home from work one day, I saw that I received a weird message on Facebook from my brother that said that if anything happens to him and all that stuff..., I still get emotional thinking about it. So I immediately call my family through Facebook, and found out that he was in the hospital, and that he was really sick. They found out that he had cancer. My brother is doing well now, the believe that the cancer is gone, but he is still receiving monthly chemo to make sure it stays away.

I am also no longer in the military. The process was hard on me, and it took everything out of me. I wanted to stay in, but I wasn't able to, so i was in a bad place for awhile, but I'm happy now and able to move forward with my life.

After reading many fairy tail fan fics, it has inspire me to continue to write more.

I'll try to update weekly, if I have time, I work Monday thru Friday and really odd hours so I don't really get much time for myself.

I had to rewrite this chapter and some for the next chapter when one of my readers on wattapad commented and reminded me that it was Lucy's mom that was a Heartfilia and not Her father, thank you for that! But the story shouldn't have changed that much.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions feel free to leave it in the comment section or pm me. I have an idea for two more stories that I'm thinking about writing, but I'm not sure yet.

My story is not beta.

Thank you all for the reviews and follows and favorites.
