Lucy's P.O.C
"I can't believe you Lucy" Bisca said shaking her head. "You go out to beat up a dark guild, and come back with a second child."
Nina was holding Emily in the corner, gently rocking her from side to side. The guild had been shocked that I'd picked up a second kid on my mission. Nina had thought that they were rejection her. It wasn't till Romeo had introduced himself to her, that she had calmed down a little.
"Yeah well I couldn't just leave her there, now could I Bisca?" I asked putting my head on the table. "Listen. The master that trained me was a monk. He taught me to never turn away someone in need. If there's something I can do, then I have to do it."
"Yeah but now you got a second child. What are you going to do?"
"I don't know. Probable let her learn a magic of her choice. Let her join fairy tail, and hopefully she come to see it as her home, same as me" I said standing up.
I had just gotten back and hadn't had a moment to myself, not that I thought I would though. I still had to go shopping for stuff for my new house, not to mention I had to fix it up. Nina also needed new cloths. She only had the one set that the Mayor of Hoshi had provided. So I was going to have to get on top of that. But first things first. I was going to fix my house.
"Hey Macao you wouldn't happen to have any tools would you!" I called standing up.
"Maybe. But no one knows how to use them" He stood remerging through the storage room.
"That's alright, I do" I said cheerfully, happy to finally be getting somewhere.
"You do, do you? Well then I'll have to get you to fix the guild roof sometime" A cheeky smile growing on his lips.
"That might be too big a job for me. Any way I need to stop by the hardware store" I took the tool box from Maco.
"Nina, you coming? Or do you want to hang out here?" I asked as I past her.
"I'll stay here" She gave me one of her small smiles, before sitting in a chair rocking Emily in her sleep.
"Alright. I'll be back in 2 hours. Don't do anything Stupid."
I headed down the hill towards my house, planning on stopping bye to drop off the tool box; I couldn't help wondering what I was doing? I mean I'm not suited to be a mother, hell I could barely take care of myself, and now I had 2 young children who relied on me.
I sighed dropping off the tool box, and started heading towards town. I wonder what will happen now. I mean the Fairy tail I was use to always ended up in trouble. From the Phantom lord incident, to the Nirvana thing. Somehow we sniffed out trouble. I laughed at that. We were always causing problems, but we always fixed them.
I only needed some nails and roof tiles from the shops. I'd cut my own wood. It was too much for me to carry by myself, so I ended up calling out Virgo for some help. She responded by asking for punishment. Strange girl.
Our walk home was silent and uneventful. I didn't mind. Virgo had never been much of a talker.
When I returned home I found Bisca, Alzack, Romeo and Nina holding Emily sitting out front.
"Hey guys what are you doing here?" I asked dropping of my newlt bought supplies.
"We thought we'd come by and help you out. Where's the wood?" Alzack ased staring down at the supplies.
"I was going to cut my own."
"But you don't have a saw" Romeo pointed out.
"Oh that's right you guys haven't seen my new magic style. Well alright. I spent the last year in a remote town the edge of the kingdom. There was a monk there who used a rare form of magic, that greatly relates to celestial magic, called star magic. I can use it pretty well, if I do say so myself" I walked over to a tree. "Here I'll show you" My hand started to glow gold, and with in a few seconds it had turned into a beacon of light. In one quick movement I sliced it through the tree. It took a second but then the tree slowly slid to the side and came crashing down. My hand returned to normal and I looked over at an impressed group of friends.
"That's so cool nee-Chan" Romeo exclaimed. He came over and looked at the clean slice. "Star magic. Never heard of it."
"No you wouldn't. Not many people use it anymore. I don't know why" I shrugged picking up the tree. I started to cut it into pieces I could use. As I did I was informed of everything that had been going on in the last year.
"Yeah after we lost master and everyone the guild was to depressed to start working again. We spent ages looking for them, we still are. Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scale are helping us. But we haven't found anything so far. After about 6 months we lost the guild hall. We had nowhere to go, and then suddenly Twilight ogre was offering a hand. But it was covered in dirt. Turns out that we have to pay back double what we borrowed. They also come around once a month to harass us about the money. Macao won't let us fight back. We owe them money, and until it's paid we can't fight back" Bisca explained. "Any way what happened to you in the last year?"
"I told you I went and trained. I fell pregnant with Emily not long after I left. That's really all I've done in the last year" Liar. A voice hissed in my head. 'Oh so shut up' I hissed back.
"Not that fun huh? All well your home and you're bound to end up who knows how much trouble?'" Bisca and Alzack laughed. They made a lovely couple.
It took hours to finish the roof. But the work payed off and I didn't look half bad.
"Wow that took a while. But we're finished!" I chirped happily. "Thanks for helping you guys."
"No big Lucy. We're just happy that you're back and safe" Bisca gave me a smile. Waving as she and Alzack headed home.
"I should go to Nee-Chan, dad will be getting worried. Bye" He called walking away.
"Alright Nina we should probably get ready for bed ourselves" I opened the door and walked in. We had no furnish yet so I just spread out some blankets to sleep on, and made a small cote in the corner for Emily. I made us a quick soup. We ate in silence.
"Lucy" Nina said looking up from her bowl.
"What's up Nina?"
"I was wondering, If I could learn Ninja magic?" A slight blush crossed her cheeks.
"The magic you learn is up to you. But I don't know anyone who uses it. So I won't be much help there. Why do you want to learn it anyway?"
"I-I don't want to be there. I don't want to be so simple to find and end up like how I was."
"It's okay. I'll see if I can't find some books tomorrow. We'll head into town I'll buy some furnisher, and we'll get some new cloths. I might have to go on another job though. Will you be okay here by yourself?"
"I won't be by myself. I'll have fairy tail" She gave me a smile as she finished her soup.
"That's the spirit."
The next morning we headed into town. Me carrying Emily in one arm, holding Nina's hand in the other. I had my doubts yesterday on this exact same path, but now I felt this was right. This was what was meant to be happening.
Turned out that Nina's taste if fashion was so different from my own. She liked to ear cloths that covered her whole body. We had bought her quit a few shirts and pants. For some reason she wasn't too big on skirts or dresses. Though I did get her to buy one dress for anything special.
My own style of fashion had changed too. I wasn't as big on skirts now. Instead I bought a lot of shorts and pants. But I still bought some adorable skirts. I found somewhere to chance, since I'd been wearing the same cloths for a while now.
I changed into a simple pink bra, with a denim jacket over top. I had long dark skinny leg jeans on with my usual combat boots. I tied my hair in its half pony tail. When I walked out the bathroom Nina whistled.
"I didn't know you were like that, Lucy."
"Like what?" I asked innocently.
"You know. Showing more then you should" A light red crossed her checks.
"The only thing you should never show is everything. Always leave mystery."
"Do all writers talk like that?"
"Gah! How'd you know I write?"
"Master Macao told me. Do you still write?"
"No. I've been training for so long, I never had the time. Then Emily was born and it got away from me. But I'm going to start up once I'm settled back in" I had a determined look on my face.
"Can I read it?" I was taken aback by this.
"W-well of course you can. If you promise not to laugh, unless it's a comedy."
"Heh, sure thing Lucy."
"This is nice Lucy" Nina pointed out a small crib. It was made of a light wood, it a pink tinge over it. It had flower shapes cut out on the sides.
"Wow" I breathed. I checked the price, only a thousand Jewels! I was so getting it. I looked over an Nina who had been holding Emily, since we had bought too much. I had called out Virgo to help us carry everything. "You know, we'll have to go without beds for another week or so right?"
"Yeah, I don't mind. It's fairly warm out anyway" She shot me a dazzling smile.
"We'll head to the magic shop to see what we can find out on Ninja magic after this."
"Princess would you like me to take this all back to your house?" Virgo asked.
"Umm yes please. I'll just go pay for the crib" I walked off to find a salesman.
The magic shop had offered little on Ninja magic. A few books and incantation that related to it. I'd have to ask around. Maybe Hibiki would know something? I'd have to ask next time I was in the area. But either way, Nina looked exited to learn. I was happy someone was so into knowledge.
"Wow, Lucy there's so much!" She said flipping through the book. I was happy she was happy. We were heading home for the day. I'd have to take another job soon. I'd spent most of my money today. But that didn't matter. My family was happy so I was happy.
