Chapter 6
An Agreement And A Confession
The 8island restaurant was an excellent place to go and have a meal – even at any time of the day! It has been said that the food there was simply exquisite, some said that the chef - Yajima-san cook his foods with magic, how else can the people who go there regularly explain other than whenever they eat they don't wanna leave from their sits.
Gray led a tense Lucy to a private area where they could sit and have a nice long chat…. 'As if!' Gray thought heatedly. He went through the deep red curtains where a square table with a round table that rotates on top, and huge deep blue chairs has been set up.
A young and attractive male waiter led them both to sit down, and placed elegant cherry blossom decorated menus in front of them. Lucy hid herself behind hers, and silent let curses fly out of her mouth, wishing that she were anywhere but here. 'Even a cinema full of scary movies seems much better!'
Once they ordered their delicious lunch, Gray focused his whole attention on the fiery angel of a woman seated in front of him. 'She looks so cute… yet so cold…and here I thought I was the cold one.'
Lucy was indeed not looking at Gray. She was looking at the cherry blossom trees outside swaying away with the gentle breeze… thinking about her relationship with Sting…. 'Why was he looking at me like that?'
"So tell me about this new man…." Gray cut in like a blade through her thought. Lucy turned to him face instantly. "I am quite curious…."
'Did he read my mind?' Lucy blinked. "It is none of your business, but mine. We are here to discuss only about the twins – nothing more."
Gray felt like he received a cold slap! "But Lucy, I want to know you too…." Gray looked at her sadly, glints of pain showing in his capturing navy blue orbs.
"No." Came a flat one-syllable reply.
"Lets talk business then." Gray said coolly, but bitterness tinted it. He was really unhappy about Lucy's refusal to talk about herself. 'No, about her new man!' Throwing that thought down the thrush can…. "I want to see our twins."
Lucy looked up at Gray reluctantly. She could already picture what effects he would have on them…. 'Not a good one… but do I even have a choice?'
"Alright – but on my terms." Lucy stated stiffly, looking at Gray directly. 'Am I doing the right thing?' She closed her eyes and took at deep breath. "You can see the twins every Sunday – or nothing. You choose."
Gray looked at her in disbelief. But no way in hell does he want to cause her anymore pain…. However – in the case of his twins….
"Lucy, that's outrageous and you know it!" Gray threw at her. "I want to be part of their lives completely! Not a one-day daddy!"
Lucy sat up straighter, making her breasts bounce, and Gray's gaze snapped there… the sexual tension was definitely going up the scale….
"Remember, Fullbuster-san!" She threw at him with force. "The name is Heartfilia! And you have a company – no, Guild! – to run!"
Gray went blank. He completely forgot about the Fullbusten Clan and the Fairy Tail Corp. – no, Guild! – his work! "Ok, fair enough… but one day? That can't be it!"
"I have my reasons for making my decision." Lucy said calmly. "And if you comply… then I'll increase the time."
"Reasons?" Gray looked pretty puzzled, but with one look at Lucy's sharp gaze – he clocked onto it. 'She still doesn't trust me…. But then again, what have I done to make her trust me?'
"The main one as you've guessed by the stupid expression on your face – is correct." Lucy looked at Gray straight on. "I do not trust you, Fullbuster-san."
'Shit, that was a harsh blow….' Gray looked a bit hurt.
But Lucy brushed it off. 'There's more where that came from! I had to go through worse, so why the hell shouldn't you suffer?'
"So you are testing me?" Gray raised a sad, questioning dark eyebrow. "Seeing if I walk away again perhaps?"
"That among other things…." Lucy responded lightly as their lunch was being placed on the table. "Thank you." She smiled at the now blushing young and attractive male waiter.
While Gray glared at him. "Go – now." That was really cold. But the poor waited bowed nervously and scurried away.
"Why in the world did you say that for?" Lucy asked heatedly.
"He was looking down your sundress." He replied dryly.
Lucy blushed deeply. "No, he was placing my food in front of me!"
"Sticking up for another man now?" Gray responded mockingly.
"WHAT?" Lucy jumped up and exclaimed. "God! You are just an arrogant offensive bastard!" Lucy's chocolate brown orbs turned dark and flared with flames! "I wish I never set my eyes on you! Ever!"
"Gray jumped up as well! "Well, I wish differently!"
"I wish I never got pregnant with – " Lucy shouted at his flushed face.
"What are you saying?" Gray's eyes now flared with gold fire dangerously. "Are you saying that our twins was a mistake?"
"Dear Lord, no!" Lucy exclaimed incredibly. "The mistake was I even slept and got pregnant with you!"
Gray looked at her coldly. "You don't want me to be our twins father? You would rather someone else – maybe even that bastard Sting – to be their father?"
"Yes! That's exactly what I am saying!" Lucy shouted back angrily. 'I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!'
"Too bad. Because I am!" Gray had to control his fury, or he can kiss the Sunday's she offered – 'Bye bye!' So he sat down and looked up at her. "And that's how it's going to be…." He picked up his knife and fork. "Eat your lunch, and then we'll talk."
Lucy glared at him, and finally she had quite enough. "I'll give you – 'Eat your lunch, and then we'll talk!'" And she picked up her plate, and then poured everything on top of Gray's head! 'Take that, you arrogant offensive bastard!'
Everyone in the restaurant gasped, staring at the shouting couple – and now… glaring couple….
"I'm out of here!" Lucy threw two twenty pound notes on the table and walked out.
Gray was furious…. 'How could she just – just…. Arg! For fuck's sake!'
Outside the restaurant, and walking tiredly away…. "Sting, can you please pick me up?"
"That was quick…." Some rustling in the background was heard…. "But sure, Lucy." Sting responded breathlessly. "Are you okay?"
"I will be…. Bye." Lucy closed her mobile and breathed deeply. Her whole small feminine frame was shaking with rage. 'Why was he breathless for? When I just came out of Hell in its prime!'
"So Sundays then?" Came a deep clear masculine voice behind her. Gray was standing completely rigid, but – and – he was completely clean! It looked like no food fell on him whatsoever! Lucy stood rooted with shock, and surprisingly amazement. 'And why did he follow me? Why is he so clean?'
"Aren't you supposed to be in court by now?" She mocked coldly. "Demanding the poor judge to crumble under your arrogant ego?"
"No, I will accept your… ummm… reasons, and visit our twins every Sunday." Gray stood before her now. "Agreed?" He looked into her bright brown orbs, and for a second he felt himself wanting to surrender under those eyes… and… and –
"Yes, fine. Agreed." Lucy focused her eyes on a shiny silver car, which was now racing her way. "Now, if you will excuse me…."
"Not yet!" Gray replied instantly. "I wanted to apologise for what happened in the restaurant just a moment ago… and – "
"Apologise not and never will be accepted." Lucy started walking away from him. Her curvy hips swayed from side to side as she tried to control her anger.
"Lucy…." Gray said in pain and sadness. But one swift glance from her said it all – 'Start talking real sense and quick! Or just fuck off!' "When can I meet our twins?"
"Well, today is Friday, the twins are at kindergarten…." Lucy said dryly, looking at him with mocking eyes. "I would naturally guess on this Sunday?"
"Yes, Lucy… but I thought you would want some time to – " Gray began calmly.
'Oh no! Yes! Yes, I do want some time – but I… I was too dumb to think about it!' Lucy quickly looked towards the car that was now parking a few block away. Panicking, she hardened herself. "You will have to meet them sometime, Fullbuster-san. So why delay it?" She looked at him coldly, congratulating herself to be so cool! "Want to give me a chance to run away? Or rather walk away?"
"Certainly not!" Gray looked angry. "I would just come after you, and – "
"Lucy!" The new man, himself, entered the scene! "Sorry I'm late, babe."
Gray watched in horror as this new – 'BASTARD!'' – man walked over to Lucy's side, slipped his ugly arm around her beautiful waist, and planted a sick wet kiss on her rosy cheek! Gray growled angrily.
"Sting!" Lucy smiled happily at him before returning a reluctant kiss to his cheek. "No, it's alright. I've just finished."
They both looked at Gray. 'Oh, no!' Lucy thought alarmingly. Gray's glare hardened at Sting's face as a surprised look passed over his tired red face.
"Ummm… Sting – " She looked at Sting, seeing he was a bit out of character. " – this is the twin's father." And then she wished for the ground to open up and eat her! For she began to blush severely! Obviously see that Sting was NOTHING compared to Gray… and that she made love with him… and had his babies too!
Sting Eucliffe was a good-looking man, but not handsome. Sting is a slim, yet muscular and toned young man of average height with blonde hair, which is kept in spiky strands jutting outwards in every direction, and a smaller, frontal tuft of hair partially hanging on his forehead. He has slanted dark eyes, and above the right one is a visible thin scar, diagonally going up his forehead. His left ear is adorned by an earring, with a prominent metal pendant reminiscent of a double-edged blade attached to it. A grey shirt was covering his average build, and faded blue jeans with grey trainers made his image sicken Gray to the core.
'Who the fuck is this low life mother fucker?' Gray thought heatedly, as Sting tightened his grip on Lucy's waist.
"Sup." Sting said with a sick mocking attitude, even his voice was irritable! "I'm Sting Eucliffe. Lucy's boyfriend."
"I know very well who you are." Gray replied back in a cold hard deep tone that made horrible shivers run down Sting and Lucy's spine. 'Well, I know his name at least! I'll bloody find out more!'
'Oh, he's pissed!' Sting smirked. "Great! So who are – "
"Sting, we should probably go now, please?" Lucy slipped out of his arm, and turned towards the car. "Sunday, right?"
Gray snapped his dangerous angry eyes to Lucy and suddenly they softened completely. He looked at her, she staring back with eyes that looked so innocent, and so closed up. He sighed. "Yes, of 'course." Gray faced her now. "What time would you like me to come?" He ignored Sting who was looking from Lucy to Gray as they spoke.
"Ummm… eight in the morning?" Lucy looked thoughtful. Gray thought in wonder and happiness. "Yes, that would be great, Lucy…."
"Then I'll see you at my house at eight." And she began to walk away, her beige handbag hitting her right hip softly.
Sting was just about to go after her, when he turned around, smirked evilly and said. "Nice to meet the competition isn't that so?"
"What competition? I see no competition. I see the winner – who is me." Gray gave Sting a hard look. "And it is not nice to meet you." And with that he left, walking elegantly and swiftly to his fantastic dark blue Ferrari.
"But it was nice to meet you… Gray Fullbuster…." And Sting walked off towards his car. "We will meet again…."
Gray zoomed off in the opposite direction compared to Lucy. Sting was taking her to school to pick up the twins, while Gray raced to his company in Fiore.
The first thing he was going to do when he got there was talk to Jellal and Erza – ASAP!
Two weeks ago Gray was in a frenzy state! He was trying so hard to remove himself from Bosco and stay here – here in Fiore. The Fullbuster Clan and the Fairy Tail Guild Company back home were furious, but calmed down a bit when he told them that he actually had heirs! 'Like Lucy would agree to that!'
Jellal and Erza immediately packed up and went to Fiore with Gray as soon as he told them everything the next morning after their previous nighttime teary conversation….
Both of his best friends were furious with the deception of the family, and how Lucy was treated, and how everything went completely wrong when she was pregnant… but they more grief stricken about that night when Lucy left… especially about that night….
The Fernandes were only too happy to help Gray on his new and permanent mission: to get his new found family back! So the next thing they did was devising plans and dates of what they wanted to do surrounding Lucy… and the twins….
So here he was… racing like a stupid lunatic down to his company – just to talk to Jellal and Erza!
As he hit a traffic light, he paused to think…. 'Sunday… Sunday… this Sunday! I'm actually going to meet my twins properly!' Gray grinned in a boyish manner, than stepped on the acceleration. 'Thank you so much, Lucy….'
Finally, Gray reached his company, and swung out of his car like lighting! He raced it to his private lift and took a glance at the mirror – 'Oh… I just had to open my big mouth and provoke her… that she had to throw her food on me!'
The lift doors opened, and immediately his employees started to bow at his presence as he raced through them, not even taking notice. Gray opened his office door and slammed it shut behind him with a deep sigh. Then he zipped out his expensive mobile. "Get me the Fernandes – "
"You should look before you speak." Jellal said cheerfully as he walked from the sofas to stand in front of him.
"Never mind that order. Thanks." Gray cut the line with a snap. "Jellal, I am looking. I saw you before you even opened your big mouth!"
"Not true." Erza was now standing in front of Gray too with a grin on her face. "Now, tell us and quick!" Smiling, Erza pushed the men to the green huge sofas. Then went into Gray's apartment that was attached to his office. "Do you want a drink? Gray? Jellal?"
"Sure, a coke is good!" Gray called from his comfy position on the sofa.
"Make that two, beautiful!" Jellal called next.
"Well, I make that three." She came back, handed the men their drinks while planting herself next to Jellal, and looked at Gray. Then she took a tiny sip, placed the drink on the table, and…. "Tell us! Tell us! Tell us!"
"Okay, okay – " Gray put his drink down as well, and he paused for effect. "I can meet them!"
"That's more like it, man!" Jellal clapped his hands together. "So what happened? Does she know we are here?"
Gray smile dropped. "No… I didn't tell her… because I thought she would freak out. I mean… she did when she first saw me!"
"Ya… that's true… she needs time, and we'll get round to that, Jellal." Erza frowned sadly. "So, what has she agreed to?"
"Well, she agreed that I can meet the twins… but its only on Sundays, every Sunday…." Gray smiled faintly.
"At least its something… did you have to tell her about the courts?" Jellal asked curiously.
"Unfortunately, yes. But somehow – not very well though – we agreed on the Sundays…."
"So we got some ground to work on?" Erza's eyes sparkled. "That means me and Jellal can work on our bit soon…."
"Ya, that's true… but guys there is something else…." Gray's face darkened with a shady emotion.
"What is it?" Jellal and Erza saw the change and immediately were on alert on what could have happened now! "What's wrong?"
"Lucy has… someone – " Gray closed his eyes and rested his heavy head back into the sofa. " – someone else, a new man in her life…."
Silence….
"WHAT!" Erza said in shock. "He is going to ruin our plan!"
"Who is this person?" Jellal asked calmly. "Does he have a name?"
"Sting Eucliffe." Gray spat the name out like venom. 'I hate Sting since Lucy first mentioned him!'
"Yo, Loke!" Jellal's voice filled in the silence that settled in after Gray spoke the new man's name. "Can you do me a favor?" Jellal spoke in his blue mobile.
"Sure, Jellal! What's up, man?" Loke answered. Even though he was Gray's solicitor, he was great mates with Gray and Jellal.
"I want you dig up anything on a guy called Sting Eucliffe." Jellal spoke seriously. "Is that okay?"
"Come on, Jellal!" Loke laughed. "You know me! Piece of cake! I'll get it to you asap!"
"Cool, man. Later." Jellal shut his mobile and sat back. "My job is done."
"Good work, Jellal!" Erza laughed. "I always wanted to play detective!"
"Do you think this is a good idea?" Gray raised his head up to look at them. "She specifically told me to stay out of her personal life."
"You are her personal life, Gray." Jellal said dryly.
"Ya, but just where the twins are concerned." Gray frowned deeply, linked his hands together, and rested his strong arms on his knees.
"That's not true…." Erza said quietly. "Okay, maybe now… but certainly not later!"
"I don't know…." Gray stood up and walked to his huge window, which showed him that the sun was setting. "Lucy doesn't trust me…."
Jellal and Erza looked at each other and back up at Gray. "Gray… that is to be expected." Jellal said calmly. "Lucy won't want to trust any of us."
"We just have to stick our plan…." Erza smiled evilly, and Gray felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up!
"Spit it out, Erza!" Gray ordered half-heartedly.
"Did you sense that evil smile, Gray like I did – ouch!" Jellal rubbed the back of his head where Erza slapped it!
"I got the perfect idea!" Erza's smiles broaden. "I know how to get Lucy back into your arms, and make that new man… old news…."
Gray turned around and smiled, his friends were great… but he felt he was missing something big here…. 'But if it will get rid of Sting… what have I got to lose?' He shrugged, then looking at his sparkly eyes best friends. He instantly knew they were going to talk about this for a long time…. "Alright, lets hear this new plan!"
Near Hargeon Park, Lucy and her twins were taking a long walk. The orange sun was setting in front of Lucy as she made her way to the swings with the twins happily bouncing behind her.
"Mummy! Grayson drew a cat today! It was so cute and big!" Grey sat down on one of the swings, smiling cheerfully. "Tell Mummy, Grayson!"
"Ya… I did, mummy." Grayson began. "But it not cute!"
Lucy laughed as she lifted Grayson up and placed him in a swing next to his big brother. "Can you draw a cat for me when we get home?" Lucy smiled sweetly at Grayson. "Please?" She pouted cutely and began kissing Grayson on the face, tickling him.
Grayson laughed and screamed with joy. Then suddenly, he jumped and hugged Lucy really hard. "Yes, I draw you a big cute cat! Me call it "Happy" mummy." He smiled looking at her sweetly, red from his laughing. "I love you, mummy!"
Lucy felt tears drag into her eyes, but she held them back. "Thank you, Grayson…I love you too. I love you both!"
Grey smiled, and looked at his mother and little brother. 'I'm very happy!' But then Grey's eyes focused on his mother and he frowned. 'She has been unhappy lately….'
"Mummy, what's wrong?" Grey jumped off the swing and placed a small hand on her arm.
"Nothing… but I have something to tell you…." Lucy placed Grayson back into the swing, then picked up Grey, kissed his cute cheek and placed him on the swing next to his little brother. Then she crouched down in front of them, holding their little hands in hers. "Both of you…."
"Mummy… what happen?" Grayson said curiously.
"Today… today, I met with that person who was at our house two weeks ago. Remember that man?" Lucy blinked carefully, giving her twins eye contact each. "Remember that – ummm – big man?"
"Hai, mummy." The twins replied in unison.
"It not easy to forget him, mummy!" Grayson put in again. "He was big big!"
Lucy sweat dropped as she made an amused face. 'Silly Grayson.' She giggled a little to herself. "Ummm… well, our – our Sundays are going to be changing from now on."
"What is going to happen this Sunday, mummy?" Grey asked, as he tightened his grip on Lucy's hand. She felt it. 'Its now or never.'
"You are going to meet that man…." Lucy took a breath and looked at her twins full on. "He is your father, boys…."

GrayLu Fan Sneak Preview:
"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" Grayson sang with excitement. Ever since Lucy mentioned 'Daddy', Grayson has been like a jumping excited kangaroo and screaming out 'Daddy!' While in contradiction, Grey has become quiet and distant. This was really worrying Lucy… 'Have I made a mistake?'
After Lucy had cleaned Grayson up, they all headed off to clean the kitchen quickly. That took about ten minutes… but then – then the waiting began….
Five minutes….
Lucy sat the twins down in the living room and switch on the TV, placing it on 'Pokémon'. The twins loved Pokémon! Hence, the explanation of their blue slippers…. 'That would entertain you boys, while mummy sits in the kitchen, pulls her hair out and chews her fingers off!'
Four minutes….
Lucy started to pace the kitchen, backwards and forwards… biting her nails and looked at her family photos for support…. 'Please give me your strength….'
Three minutes….
The twins were 'acting' out Pokémon scenes in the living room. Grayson was 'catching' Grey in his 'non-existent' Pokéball. "I got you now!" He screamed with victory.
"Get off me, Grayson." Grey shouted back, as he tried to push his little brother off his back.
Two minutes….
Grayson needs to go toilet! Lucy rushed him upstairs and telling Grey to listen for the doorbell.
One minute….
'Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God!' Lucy started to panic…
Forty five seconds….
"Mummy! Grayson made my clothes dirty!" Grey shouted from the living room.
Thirty seconds….
"What?" Lucy run downstairs, and started to straighten and brush Grey's clothes.
Fifteen seconds….
"Mummy, you left Grayson upstairs in the toilet." Grey said calmly.
Ten seconds….
"Oh no!" Lucy raced upstairs, entered the bathroom and helped Grayson out.
Nine seconds….
"Mummy? Whats a willie?" Grayson asked while Lucy washed his small hands.
Eight seconds….
'Erk!' Lucy's panic went up some more. "Not now Grayson!"
Seven seconds….
"A willie is that dangly thing between your legs, Grayson!" Grey called upstairs again, and sat on the bottom of the stairs. "Girls don't have anything dangly!"
Six seconds….
Lucy thought alarmingly as Grayson run downstairs. 'Oh, my God! How does my oldest son know that?'
Five….
"Really?" Grayson sat next to his older brother and smiled.
Four….
"Hai, I heard it's for making babies too." Grey looked disgusted. -Kyaaaa! How does he know that!?-
"Babies?" Grayson looked disgusted now. "Look at mine! Willie can't make babies!"
Three….
'How did he…? Why are they talking about this? If Gray hears this – what would he say?' Lucy looked at her twins in horrified awe.
Two….
"Boys! That's enough! Don't talk about that!" Lucy spoke firmly. "Your father will be here any second!"
'I promise never to panic like this again – '
One –
And the doorbell rings!
AND CUT!
Coming Soon~
