I didn't know if I was going to be able to finish this chapter today but I still have 10 minutes for a new day to start so I guess it counts. THIS CHAPTER IS ONE MONTH AND TWO WEEKS AFTER THE LAST CHAPTER just keep that in mind. WHEN I SAY SOMETHING IS SMALL THAN IT IS!


*Lucy*

Today we had a quiet morning. No hungry man waking me up. Which it is strange normally Natsu, Jr, or Happy would wake me up for food. No angry alarm clock, nor the daylight breaking in though the windows. Actually there is no light in the room at all. I look around the room not moving much so that I don't wake Natsu. It looks like it was nighttime actually, but I know it isn't. I gently place my hand on my small belly. I am hungry yet no one woke up before me? I squint my eyes as I look for the clock it is 11 already.

"Natsu" I shake him a little. "Natsu wake up we have to get breakfast."

"Food" he mumbles sleepily as he starts to get up.

"Go get Jr, and Happy I'll wait for you in the kitchen." I make my way to the kitchen as I look out the window. I stop and go back to the window. There are heavy loaded clouds covering the sky. Yesterday there wasn't a hint of clouds nor wind yet today there was not one spot where the sun could be seen. It was about to rain yet not a single drop would fall. The clouds would only grow deeper by the second. A storm was about to happen.


*After Breakfast*

"Natsu are you sure this is a good idea?"

"Yea we should get going before it starts to rain" We each took one of Jr's hands Happy sat on Natsu's shoulder. We walked though the lonely streets passing the river to the Fairy Tail building. When we got there we found something we didn't expect.

"I NEED HOT WATER AND AN EXTRA PAIR OF HANDS!" It was Wendy shouting from the infirmary door. I looked around to see Mira run into the room with the requested water. In the guild hall you could see everyone was worried. I went with Levy where she was feeding her baby.

"What happened?" I asked she just looked at me then answered my question quietly. A sad look across her face she looked as if she had just seen someone get hit by the train.

"It seems that Juvia is the one inside the infirmary. Something went wrong and she entered labor a few hours ago." Juvia wasn't even 7 months along.

"Wait you mean-"

"We really don't know if they will make it" Gods Juvia no. I looked at where Gray was he looked as if he hadn't sleep at all. I touched the small bump again I felt a hand in mine I looked behind me to see that Natsu was there all the time. I had never seen him make that face it had said so many things. It was not just a look it was a full embrace, Natsu.

*Wendy*

I kept up with spells yet I can't slow the bleed. If the baby is not out soon then Juvia will not make it. I could only do that spell. It is not for sure that it will help but I can't do anything else. I can't let that happen to her. That won't ever happen again. I can't let it… I gathered my energy

"Mira I need you to be fast you will have only a few minutes to get the baby out!" she only nodded. I preformed the spell drawing a line with my finger from her belly button down, and the skin tears open. I see Mira moving as I hear the crying.

"A little boy!" she says taking out the very small baby yet it seems that Juvia's magic was strong enough so that the child was fully developed.

"I can't remove the spell!" Mira looks at me now. I keep my finger in place unable to move it. Then she takes out something else yet I start to fall into unconsciousness. My eyes close yet I can hear another cry on the distance. I have finished my job.


*Lucy*

After a few minutes we can hear the cry of an infant. The whole atmosphere of the guild relaxes. Than we hear Mira screaming terror filling her voice. We all gather around the door, but no one dares to enter. The room is quiet as Mira finally opens the door.

"Romeo, Wendy fainted!" she said a tint of worry in her eyes. Then she looks at Gray and her expression changes into a smile. "Gray come in they're waiting for you!" We all sigh as Gray enters the room to meet his child.

"What was it?" I ask Mira as before she closes the door.

"Both" she answers quickly as she closes the door behind her. Both? Why both boy, and girl? Did she mean Juvia was caring two the whole time?


*Unknown*

"We will start the first attack tomorrow morning"

"Yea Master" they both said in unison emotionless, cold, empty on the inside.

"Good I finally get to see submission from you two. I had offered you protection before. I am glad to know that you will follow my rules from now on"

"Yes Master we see no sense in living other than serving you" Again in perfect coordination yet cold as ice, and stone.

"Good you won't run away again won't you?"

"No Master"

"You know the consequences of trying to escape again right?"

"Yes Master"

"Good we don't want to go though that fiasco again. You may leave." Just like that Adeline and Becket leave the throne room. A tear falls from Adeline's eye tracing along the scars on her cheeks. There is large bruises trough out her body in places where it should be impossible to cure. The weeks had passed yet none would heal. There would only be painful scars that would follow them though the rest of their lives. They were stripped of their pride, dignity, and hope and they could do nothing about it.
