GottaLoveOtakus: I did continue! Please enjoy!
Oh, one more thing: Keep in mind while reading this; I may hate NaLi with all my heart and soul, but I don't dislike Lisanna. I think she and Lucy could be good friends. That's it, enjoy!
Everything was running smoothly. Lucy and Levy had set out drinks and snacks, as well as moving a little furniture around to make room for the eight girls that would be sleeping there. There was one small mishap. Erza started a pillow fight, and Lucy, being paranoid and anxious, excused herself and hid in the bathroom. Mira had to come find her when they were finally done.
Levy had also purchased a large chocolate cake, and a small, one person strawberry cheesecake for Erza. Once everyone had their cake and were talking amongst themselves, Lucy grabbed Levy's arm and dragged her into the kitchen.
"I can't do it, Levy!" Lucy whispered intently.
Levy looked sympathetic. "You don't have to Lucy. Save it for another day."
Lucy was very indecisive. She wanted to tell them, but she didn't think she had the courage. Lucy knew they were her friends and wouldn't judge her, but…
"Lucy? Levy? You guys ok?" Wendy popped her head in the kitchen. Lucy and Levy both jumped.
"Yeah, we're good! We'll be out in a sec, ok?" Levy smiled very convincingly. Wendy nodded and slipped back into the living room.
"Can I have a minute alone for a sec, Levy?" Lucy leaned against her refrigerator. Levy nodded, and went out to the other six girls.
Tell them, or don't tell them? It seemed like a simple decision, but this was her biggest secret yet. She was carrying a baby. A tiny life form that would need a caring mother and family. Lucy couldn't provide that. She was scared of what the girls might think of her. She was scared of what the whole guild would think of her.
'Whoah, Lucy! Calm down. You're not there yet. Baby steps, baby steps. Ha, irony.' Lucy supposed the first step would be to tell at least these guild members in her house. They were her family! They would love and support her no matter what! That settled it. Lucy took a few deep breaths and entered the living room.
"There you are, Lucy! We were getting worried!" Mira smiled at her. Levy tilted her head slightly, and furrowed her brows questionaly. Lucy nodded slightly.
"I have something to tell you guys." Her voice sounded smaller and more scared than she wished it would. All seven, well six excluding Levy, looked expectantly at her.
Deep breath in.
Deep breath out.
"Well, I…"
Deep breath in.
Deep breath out.
"I'm pregnant!" She blurted, much less eloquently than she intended. Six blank faces stared at her.
Then all hell broke lose.
Natsu was on his way home from his mission. He had to go alone, Happy was hanging out with Carla and Pantherlily today. And there was no way in hell he would go with Gray. And since Lucy totally ditched him this afternoon…
Lucy. There was something that was confusing him. Well, more like someone, Lucy was a person. But something had definitely been off with her the past three months. She always came into the guild late, claiming that she woke up late, but Natsu could smell the puke on her body. Was she just sick? But three months? No one got sick for that long. And her smell. She smelled strange. Almost like her scent was being mixed with another. But the other scent smelled like something he had smelled before, but he couldn't place it.
Natsu missed the old Lucy. Granted, "old" was three months ago, but the concept stayed the same.
He was almost to the guild. He was going to stop at Lucy's, but he remembered that she was having a sleepover, and that meant Erza was going to be there. And crashing a party Erza was at would probably mean that he could end up in a coma.
So he opted to going to the guild and get some food. The mission he went on didn't pay much, but it was hard work, so he needed some fuel.
"Hey guys! I'm home!" Natsu burst down the door and yelled. He was met with quiet. Almost silence. That was weird.
Gajeel was sulking at his table, Gray was naked and falling asleep on top of another table, Freed, Bixlow, and Laxus were playing cards, and Evergreen was napping on Elfman's shoulder. Then it hit him. There were no girls in the guild, minus Evergreen and Kinana, who was manning the bar.
"Damn, it's so quiet in here." He commented, making his way over to the bar. "Can I get some chicken and some fire?" He asked Kinana. She smiled and nodded, and slipped behind the kitchen doors.
"What's up, Gajeel?" Gajeel grunted. Natsu tried again. "Where's Levy?" Gajeel scowled even more.
"Bunny Girls place." Of course she was, Levy was Lucy's best friend.
"Dude, stop moping."
"I ain't moping."
"You are totally moping!" Gajeel glared at him. "See, moping!"
"Shut up Salamander!"
"Moping!"
"Why you…"
"Pregnant?!"
"What?!"
"Who's the father?"
"When did you find out?"
"Oh my goodness!"
"Love rival!"
Lucy was bombarded with questions and proclamations as all of the girls stood up and jumped her.
"Everyone QUIET!" Erza yelled, and everyone instantly shut their mouths. "Let Lucy explain." Six pairs of eyes stared at her, seven if you included Levy. Lucy was worried.
"There isn't much to explain… I'm pregnant. I'm not absolutely positive about the father, and I found out yesterday. And Juvia, it isn't Gray's. I know that for sure." Juvia immediately dropped her glare, and replaced it with a smile.
"Lucy! Juvia is so happy for you!"
"We all are Lucy!" Mira smiled brightly and hugged the blonde girl. Everyone else piled on, and it became a very large group hug, and a very touching moment. Lucy started to cry. All the girls pulled away.
"Lucy, what's wrong?" Cana asked, concerned. Lucy wiped away some tears.
"I-I was s-so worried you'd think d-differently of me." She hiccuped.
"Oh, Lucy! We're your family, we love you no matter what." Lisanna pulled the girl into another hug, and let her cry freely.
"B-but, I don't know if I can take care of this b-baby…" She sobbed into Lisanna's shoulders. "I-I can't take care of it…"
"Now, Lucy, don't say that!" Erza put a hand on Lucy's rocking shoulders.
"Yes, Juvia knows that everyone will help you get through this!" Juvia gave her encouragement.
"Yeah, and I can help with anymore sickness you might have!" Wendy added.
"Lucy, we're all here for you. The rest of the guild will be too." Levy smiled.
Lucy's sobs subsided, and she pulled away from Lisanna's hug.
"Thank you. Thank you all! I love you guys so much!" With this, another hug was mandatory, and all girls had smiles on their faces when they broke apart.
"We love you too Lucy."
Cana sneaked over to the blonde and put her ear to her stomach.
"Hey, Lucy! I can't be sure yet, but I'm pretty sure it's a boy!"
"R-really?" Lucy asked. Cana nodded. Wendy put her head up to Lucy's stomach.
"I think so too!"
"So for now, let's call the baby a 'he', ok?"
"Ok!"
"So, after that emotional moment, what do you want to do, Lucy? You're choice!" Erza said.
"Can we watch a movie?"
