(Lucy's POV)

I just reached 100 followers and I'm so happy! You guys are so amazing! I wish I could hug each and everyone of you! To thank you I tried to write a long chapter and I think you guys will like it. Luv ya!

Moments later I was sitting in my hospital room surrounded by dozens of people. Police officers, friends, nurses, lawyers. Levy walked over to me slowly. I looked up hopefully.

"Still nothing. Sorry," Levy apologized. I nodded. Natsu had been missing for an hour now and we were starting to worry. Maybe he left because he found out about the real me. Maybe my dad found him.

All of a sudden the police officer nearest to my bed picked up he walkie talkie and began talking. I couldn't make out what he said because of all the commotion in the room. After he hung up he stood on a chair as everyone stopped to listen.

"They found Mr. Heartfilia. He's at the station. Let's go." He motioned to the other officers and they all left.

"Where's Natsu?" I asked Levy in a panic. "They didn't mention Natsu. What if he's hurt? What if he's…" Dead. I could feel hot tears burn my eyes and cheeks. He can't be dead. He can't be!

"I ain't dead Luce. Just a little hurt that's all."

I looked over at the pink haired boy standing in the corner. He had a black eye and a bruised cheek. His nose looked a bit purple and red and his lip had a small bandage on it.

"Natsu?" I breathed out. I jumped out of bed and walked over to him. I placed my hand on his cheek.

" Wha happened? did my dad…." I stopped. I couldn't even finish.

"Luce it's fine. I'm ok, are you hurt?" He asked in worry while checking me over. After nodding my head I pulled him in for a short hug then pulled away when he began talking again.

"God I'm sorry you had to deal with him your whole life. A few minutes was enough for me," Natsu joked. I stifled a giggle behind my hand. "What did they do with my dad? Is he at the station?" I asked as I walked back to my bed and sat down. Natsu pulled up a chair next to Levy and Grey who were currently sitting beside my bed watching the reunion. Erza and Gajeel, who had been quietly talking in the corner, came over and stood next to the three teens in the chairs. Lisanna and Juvia who had went to get water walked in with multiple bottles in hand.

"Natsu! What happened!?" Lisanna screamed before running over and examining his face.

"Don't worry I'm fine Lis," Natsu said before giving her a toothy grin. That seemed to calm her down and she began handing out the bottles she was holding.

Natsu looked at me then turned to make sure everyone was listening. "I went straight to your house after I left. I knew that man needed to get some sense beaten into him. I was able to get some punches in before that druken bastard started chasing me. I got a few blocks before I called the police." He paused for a breathe, " That's when this happened." He pointed at his face. "That's about it." He broke into a smug grin "I'm sure he got what he deserved from those cops." the room burst into a fit of giggles welcoming the little bit of light in this dark situation.

"Well, Bunny Girl," Lucy turned her head at the familiar nickname, "Erza and I have been talking and we think it's best if.." he paused, "If we put you in a girl's home just for the time being ya know just.."

"No." Natsu cut in.

"What are you talking about flame brains she needs a place to stay." Grey asked, obviously starting to get angry.

"She's not going in a girls home." He started as he stood up causing the chair to fall behind him, " You realize we wouldn't be able to see her, like ever, if she was in a girl's home!' His voice started to rise.

"Than what do you suggest we do?" Erza asked.

"We'll figure something out." Natsu replied

I open my mouth to speak but the door is suddenly thrown open. A tall pink haired woman walks in, worry written all over her face.

"Natsu!? What happened!? I got a call from the police that you got in a fight are you Ok?" She asked in worry.

He rubbed the back of his neck before replying. "Oh hey mom. I'm ok everything is fine. Just a little fight." He says sheepishly. The woman shook her head while laughing. "Of course," she laughed. Then she turned to me and smiles. "You must be Lucy! I'm Natsu's mom, but you can call me Grandeeney!" She held out her hand. I took it tentatively and shook it. "Nice to meet you," I said quietly. Grandeeney gave me a friendly smile.

"It's getting late you should rest." Erza cut in. "We'll be back soon Luce, OK?" Natsu added.

I nod slowly and slip into bed and under my covers. Maybe I can get some actual sleep without anymore nightmares. I thought hopefully. I watched as Natsu, Levy, Erza, Juvia, Grey, Gajeel, Lisanna, and Grandeeney file out of my room. Natsu trailed in the back to close the door and turn off the lights after he gave me a small kiss on the forehead.

Hours passed and I found myself restless. I hoped I could get some sleep though none came. Soon the sun was coming up and I could feel the heat of the day fill my room. I groaned before throwing the covers off my bed and sitting up. I looked over at my phone that sat on the stand by my bed. Instantly as if on que the phone lit up with a notification.

"Oh, levy texted me," I said to myself. I opened it up and read the text.

Hey Lu! We're coming by! See you soon!

I smiled at the text before setting it down and plopping on my bed and picking up a magazine on the bed side table.

It's only a few minutes before the door slowly opens and Levy pops her head in.

"Hey Lu how are you doing? How did you sleep?" She chirps.

I smiled at her as she and Gajeel walked in and sat down next to my bed.

"Good," I lied.

"Hey Bunny girl," Gajeel said in a gruff voice.

"Hi Gajeel." I waved and gave him a small smile.

A nurse walked in and began checking my vitals quickly before giving me a smile.

"You should be good to go. You can leave soon after I run this by someone give me a sec." she said before leaving. I looked back at Levy who was smiling knowingly.

"Did you know? Is that why you came?" I asked happily.

"Yep!" She giggled.

(Third person following Natsu)

Natsu sat in the park by the hospital waiting for Levy to drop Lucy off. He had planned on taking her to his house for lunch. I really hope Luce likes it. He thought as he pulled out his phone to call levy.

"Hello,"

"Hey Levy! Where are you?"

"Calm down Romeo. We're on our way!" A girlish giggle was heard on the other line.

"Ok Just...just hurry up." Natsu hung up the phone nervously put it back in his pocket.

Minutes later Levy's small bug pulled and a smiling Lucy stepped out.

"Natsu? What are you doing here?" she asked.

Natsu held out a hand. "Let me show you," Lucy giggled and rolled her eyes. "Smooth," she laughed before taking his hand.

He pulled her to an opening where his mom sat on a blanket overlooking the river. Lucy's smile grows bigger as she walks toward the little blanket, hands on her mouth.

"Hi Lucy! Hungry?" She asked.

Lucy sat down next to her and picked up a sandwich. Natsu followed and soon everyone was talking and laughing happily. Hours passed and Natsu was feeling confident with Lucy and his mom's relationship. Lucy was currently on the phone off to the side.

" Hey Natsu could you give me a ride to the station?" She asked after she hung up.

"Sure. See ya at home mom!" He called before they started walking to his car.

"Is it about your dad?"

"Ya. It seemed super serious too."

"I'm sure everything is fine Luce,"

"Ya,"

The ride to the police station was comfortably silent until the came upon the station. Lucy's heart stopped when she saw and ambulance and multiple police standing outside on phones or writing on clipboards. Lucy stepped out of the car and ran to the nearest officer.

"W-what's going on?" she breathed.

"You must be Lucy heartfilia. We had a bit of an accident with your dad."

Lucy's heart stopped.

"He stole an officer's gun and" he paused "pulled it on himself"
