On the plus side I have two weeks left with uni meaning that'll I'll be able to update often as well as possibly publish another fic I've been planning.
Moving onto the story
-/)*(\-
It was a calm day within the guild of Fairy Tail, everyone was either talking with one another swapping stories about previous missions while enjoying a drink or checking the mission board in hopes of finding a well paying mission. However while most of the guild was enjoying themselves a small group sat at one of the tables watching a certain pregnant blonde with concern. Lucy was currently sitting alone at a bar stool sipping at a strawberry shake with a scowl on her face, she looked extremely ill tempted to the point where everyone was to afraid to approach the angered pregnant mage.
"Do you think she's alright?" Lissanna questioned as she faced the others at the table.
"Yea she's probably just upset at the fact that she can't have a drink" Cana exclaimed as she took a gulp of alcohol from the barrel she was currently holding.
"I highly doubt that's the reason" Lissanna muttered
"Someone should see if she's ok" Levy suggested towards the other two.
Silence
"Fine I'll go talk to her" Levy signed as she got up and headed towards the blonde.
"Ne Lu-chan are you ok?" the bluenette questioned as she approached Lucy.
"Yea you seem to be a bit upset today Lucy" Mira interjected as she walked over to the blonde, who looked up towards the two before taking in a deep breath.
"ok? OK? Yea I'm perfectly fine except that I can't see my freaking feet any more, my back and breast are hurting like hell, I have a damn writer's block, I can't go home because of renovations, I can't see any of my spirits since I'm not allowed to use my magic, Natsu's gone on some mission with Wendy and this strawberry shake is too sweet" Lucy yelled her voice getting louder with each word before slamming her cup onto the table followed by slamming her head onto the same table "and now my head hurts" she mumbled in defeat.
"Well umm that does seem like a lot of worries" Levy stuttered as she tried to piece together a safe sentence that wouldn't aggravate the blonde any further.
"Hmm there is quite a lot of problems, that I can't really help you with but I can make you a new strawberry shake as well as bring you some medicine" Mira added with a gentle voice
"oh…yea some medicine does seem nice but could you just pass me some soy sauce instead of making a new shake?" Lucy asked silently as she slowly lifted her head up from the table.
"Sure…but why do you want soy sauce?" The transformational mage questioned with a puzzled look passing the bottle of the sauce, while Levy just sent the blonde a confused glance.
"There's nothing really wrong with the shake it was just too sweet and I feel like something sweet and salty" Lucy explained as she tipped the sauce into the shake despite the horrified faces that the other two mages held, Lucy proceed to take a sip of the drink "Ahh delicious" she purred, noticing that the other two were watching her "Eh, do you guys want some" she smiled.
"No thanks I'm good"
"Umm I ate earlier sorry Lu-Chan"
The trio had had continued to talk as Lucy who was now in a much better mood as she continued to drink her salty-sweet shake however once she had finished the shake the guild doors suddenly opened and the trio looked up in surprised as they saw who it was that entered.
Sabertooth?
"Eh Sting, Lector Rogue, frosch and Yukino what are you three doing here in Fairy Tail, is there something wrong?" Mira asked concerned over as to why their Ally-Rival guild members were visiting them.
"Sorry to raise alarm, nothing is wrong, we currently just finished a mission in this area and thought that it would be nice to visit" Rogue exclaimed as he scanned the guild hall.
"Sorry Rogue, but if you're looking for Gajeel, he's not here right now" Levy smiled, now knowing the real reason behind their visit.
"Ha that's too bad Rogue, Oi Natsu I'm here for a rematch and this time I'll win for sure" Sting yelled as he cracked his knuckles preparing for a fight.
"Natsu's not here either Sting" Lucy called with her back facing the visitors currently uninterested knowing that Rogue wanted to see Gajeel and Sting wanted nothing but to fight Natsu.
"What, seriously arg that sucks" The light dragon slayer complained.
"yea well, that's what happens when you barge in unannounced or warning" Lucy spoke in a monotone voice as she spun on the stool so that she was now facing the group, suddenly her face lit up in excitement as she spotted Yukino. " Ahh Yukino you're here as well" she shouted happily as she walked towards the fellow celestial mage.
"Lucy it has been a short while hasn't it, and I see that the rumors that are floating around are true" Yukino greeted as she embraced Lucy.
"Yukino can you please do me a small favor" Lucy asked excitedly
" Sure anything for a fellow summoner"
"Do you think you can try and summon Plue for me, I'm on magic lockdown" Lucy questioned with a hopeful face.
"Hmm I can try, but you know how much energy it can take to summon someone else's spirit, although Plue is a nikora which is one of the weaker spirits and requires nearly no magic for its original summoner so I can try but It'll only last a couple of minutes" Yukino pounded before agreeing to the request.
"Ahh thank you Yukino, and it doesn't matter as long as it works, I've gotten so use to having Plue out with me for company , that it feels weird not being able to summon Plue" Lucy explained as she passed the key.
"Yea I can imagine it'll be like a dragon slayer without a exceed" Yukino laughed as she accepted the key throwing a glance towards the two sabertooth slayers and their exceeds. Taking a deep breath "ok here we go, gate of the Canis Minor I open thee"
As soon as the words were spoken, I small blue light lit up from the key before Plue appeared.
"Ahh it worked" Lucy yelled in glee before hugging Plue, "Ahh Plue I really missed you these past three months"
"Pun, Pun" the spirit replied shaking his arms, as Lucy placed the spirit onto the ground still smiling.
"How's everyone else doing?"
"Pun" Plue continued waving his arms while nodding his head, causing Lucy to giggle, while Plue wasn't able to talk, Lucy was able to pick up his body language over the past few years.
"Ah Lucy I'm sorry but I can't keep the gate open much longer" Yukino interrupted
"Ok" the blonde nodded before turning her attention back to the spirit, "Ne plue, can you let everyone else know that I'm doing fine, that I miss them but look forward to when I can summon them again" she smiled placing a hand on top of the spirits head.
"Pun" Plue nodded as the celestial spirit began to be engulfed in light, waving his arm in goodbye before disappearing.
"Lucy I'm sorry I couldn't keep it open any longer" Yukino spoke as she offered the key back.
"It's fine, thanks I owe you Yukino" Lucy stated as she wiped her face before accepting the key, "Hey Mira I think I'm going to head home for the day" Lucy shouted over her shoulder as she began to head for the guild doors. Before a hand landed on her shoulder
"Whoa hold it Blondie, there's no way you're going home alone" Sting sternly said as he let go of her shoulder. With Lector following close behind.
"Sure you just want to come with me in hopes of a surprise attack on Natsu" Lucy smirked as she walked outside feet crunching in the light sheet of snow.
"Yea so" Sting smirked as he followed her outside, "hey the bookworm…"
"You mean Levy"
"Yea ok Levy, mentioned to me and Rogue that renovations were currently being done on your house so where exactly are you staying?"
"Yea Where are you staying" Lector mimic.
"Well after much convincing my old landlady is allowing us to stay in my old apartment for an extra 30000Jewel than before" Mumbling the last bit in annoyance.
The small group continued to make small talk while they walked towards the apartments with Sting and Lector on constant alert for Natsu and Happy still itching for a fight, both of them however had failed to notice that the pregnant mage was slowly being left behind, it wasn't until Sting had heard her breathing heavily. Turning around his eyes widen in minor panic as he saw the girl was slowly walking while wobbling, she had her head down and was breathing heavily, and he also noticed that she was turning pale.
"Shit Blondie, you ok? What's wrong" Sting rushed towards her, so that he was standing in front of her.
"Nothing is wrong I'm just tired" She spoke barely above a whisper as if she was unable to speak any louder.
"Dammit, Blondie this is more than being just tired" Sting spoke in frustration placing a hand on her forehead; he was however confused as he noticed that she wasn't burning up, however her breathing was increasing.
"Lector, go find one of those fairies now, something is wrong"
"Yes Sting" Lector replied before flying off in the direction of the guild. Seeing the exceed leave Sting quickly turned his attention back to the girl as he noticed her body stiffen, her eyes were now wide, he noticed that her hands were moving, her left was on her swollen stomach while the other moved to her neck.
"Magic" She whispered before her eyes closed, arms returning to her sides as she began to fall over.
"'Whoa" Sting quickly caught her, slowly placing the unconscious girl onto the ground. To say the least he was panicking, he had no idea what to do or what was happening. "Shit Lector where are you"

Lector P.O.V
'Something was terribly wrong, I noticed that Sting was freaking out, so I started to freak out, he told me to find one of those stupid weak fairies, they should know what's wrong and know how to fix it' I thought as I flew through the unknown streets of Magnolia. I was lost; I didn't pay attention when we were walking from the guild. I felt panicked and stress, I was lost, something was wrong with the blonde girl and I needed to find some help. Suddenly I flew into something or someone, falling to the ground from the impact.
"ow, what the? Lector? I heard that Sabertooth was here but I didn't know you went anywhere without Sting" a voice called out
Looking up I immediately recognized the half naked male I had bumped into, it was that stripping ice freak from fairy tail..Fairy Tail!
"Ahh we need help, we were taking Blondie home in hopes of a surprise attack on that stupid fire mage but then she got sick and was walking funnily and breathing heavily and we don't know what to do" I shouted in panic.
"Blondie?...Oh no Lucy..her magic" Gray questioned before realization hit him. "Listen Lector, Natsu just got back to the guild go get him immediately, I'll go help Sting" Gray sternly said before running off in the direction that I had come from. After watching the ice freak leave I left to go find the stupid dragon slayer feeling some relief that someone was on their way to help Sting.

BACK WITH STING AND LUCY- normal p.o.v
Sting was still panicking he didn't know what to do, it was still I fair distance from the apartment and Fairy Tail was even further. Lucy was now breathing rapidly, He knew that the situation was bad, but the fact he couldn't do anything made the situation worse.
"Sting" Looking up from the blonde, towards the one who had called him, he signed in relief as he noticed it was the stripper who was part of the blonde's team. "Lucy! Sting what happened" Gray questioned with slight anger and panic in his voice.
"I honestly don't know" Sting muttered never feeling so hopeless before "She suddenly started to walk weirdly and was breathing heavily, she had a hand on her stomach and tried to bring one to her neck uttering magic then she just fainted" He explained.
"Magic! Dammit this not good" Gray yelled angrily moving so that he was sitting next to the unconscious blonde "Wait she reached for her neck?" he questioned trying to keep calm.
"Yea why?" Sting questioned however he was ignored as Gray reached his hand onto his friend's neck; Sting looked confused when he say the stripper pull on a chain, that had a bottle on it.
"Thank god she has it with her" Gray whispered as he pulled the veil off the chain breaking the chain, calming down he noticed the saber's questioning glance. "Since her third month in her pregnancy her magic has gone haywire, right now it's being drained from her body, Porylusica gave her this in case of emergency to…drink" He explained as he realized that she was unconscious meaning she couldn't drink it….alone.
"But she's unconscious how are we going to get her to….oh" the look on Gray's face answered his questioned.
" Natsu and Juvia are going to kill me" Gray muttered pulling the cork on the vial, he hesitantly raised the vial to his lips, he knew he had to do, that he shouldn't be hesitating, this is a life or death situation but this still felt so wrong. Slowly he poured the liquid into his mouth before moving to Lucy, he hesitated once more before bringing his mouth to hers, transferring the medicine, lightly stroking her throat coxing the unconscious mage to swallow. Gray removed his mouth as soon as he could, felling as if he just betrayed everyone, even though he had to do it. Slowly after a couple of minutes Lucy's breathing had returned back to normal as well as a small amount of colour returning to her body.
"Lucy!"
Both of the males looked up as they saw a very stressed fire dragon slayer run towards them. Gray instantly feeling relief that Natsu finally made it. Natsu however felt angry and worry rise as he saw his wife lying unconscious in the snow.
"Gray what happened" He demanded
"Sting was with her coming home and her magic stuffed up again, we had to give her the medicine" He answered. Natsu clenched his fist tighter
"Why was Sting with her and not someone from Fairy Tail, someone who would know what to do" Natsu demanded as he sat down slowly cradling Lucy before picking her up.
"I don't know, I wasn't at the guild at the time Lector just flew into me and told me what happened" Gray reported keeping his cool. "This currently isn't the time for this, we need to get Lucy to the hospital, to make sure everything is fine" He continued as he walked ahead. Natsu nodded as he began to walk towards the hospital, know that the medicine had taken affect and Lucy was no longer in immediate danger, raising his body temperature, since Lucy's had dropped while in the snow.
"Sting, Lector is back at the guild hall" Natsu called over his shoulder, stopping before speaking again "And thanks for helping Lucy" he said as he continued walking pasting Gray "Ever do that again when it's not an emergency I will make sure to tell Juvia, knowing she'll do worse than I'll ever will" He whispered smiling a little as he noticed Gray briefly panic. Before turning his attention back to Lucy placing a small kiss on her forehead "Luce I'm sorry I left you again, and because of it this happened" He whispered so no one else could hear as he headed towards the hospital.

Yay that chapters done, gahh I have mixed feelings about this one, not too sure on the ending, oh well. Writing that bit with Gray was hard in a fangirl way hahaha yea, don't worry this is the last time I've planned to be mean to Lucy, but don't worry this will be referenced to in a future chapter so there is meaning behind this.
Ok so Sting and Rogue, I based their personality from the last time we saw them in the manga, not the anime. They were hard to write since I don't have the best grasp on their personalities let. Hope their ok.
Anyway until next time.
