I wrote this chapter backwards. I wanted to start with a huge time-skip when I noticed that I was neglecting some characters that needed to be spoken of before that time-skip. Then this chapter was only going to be one POV but then I decided to ad more character making this the longest chapter so far. Well I wrote the last POV when I decided that there was one more character that I needed to speak of so I go into her POV finish writing I am about to save and submit when I notice I am neglecting a character big time. So I add them when I notice that I had just written the longest chapter in this story and I freaking love it. There are still some character being a little neglected but I want to submit this before one in the morning. I really enjoyed writing this, and even if there is only a few chapters to go for this story I feel like I already miss this. I will soon start to write the prequel and it will be longer than this story, and I have a feeling that as well as this story it will need the sequel for further understanding. There is a chance that it will be easier to understand the prequel having read this, bu oh well I loved it!

"So when is your plan coming into place you have been taking your sweat time to do this!"
"Didn't you see last night, the spirit is gone! We already have what we wanted!"
"Really, because I don't feel immortal again. I wouldn't claim victory so soon."
"What would you know about it you lost immortality years ago!"
"No need to get like that. At times you act like a kid you know. At times I don't even know why I am still here I should have left you ages ago!"
"Accept the fact that you are not leaving any time soon!"
"And to top it off you had to get possessive right now! I am only saying the truth and I think that nothing has changed, but of course I have only been immortal since before the beginning of times what would I know about it?"
"Ok you have a point, but you can't be telling me that things went wrong, the spirit didn't show itself last night explain that!"
"It had better thing s to do? How am I supposed to know I've never been a ghost?"
"So now this is my fault?!"
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!"
"Oh well you clearly said that once you cleansed the spirit we would be immortal!"
"Don't blame this on me I you were the one that can't properly cleanse a spirit!"
"So then there is nothing you could do you are the demon here!"
"Not demon ex-angel it is different! And I set everything up for you how could you fail when it was right there next time tell me and I'll add pictures!"
"There is no difference it is the same thing!"
"It is different, your human how would you know?!"
"Well humans have some knowledge concerning these things, and from what I know it is the same dammed thing!"
"Ugh forget it! Why are we even fighting about this?" She turns her back at me. That dammed woman is always like this at times I forget why-
"Kristy you set the floor on fire!"
"Oh did I because if you couldn't even cleanse a single spirit I wonder how you can know I was the one that started it!"
"You just confessed!"

I wake up once more. Whatever was in that drink it wasn't poison, which at this point I would have gladly welcomed. I look around me I am still in this old cell. I look at my sin to see that there is no a scar in a single portion of my skin. My skin looks pale and white, the white that I only had when I was a baby that I lost by spending the first few years of my life near the sea. Every day I would spend countless hours sunbathing. I would love to play in the sand right after getting out of the salt water. This would make me suffer with sunburn which would only be healed with that cold white cream that my mother used to nearly bathe me in. Eventually she rather just teach me how to heal myself since I wouldn't stop getting sunburn. My mother, I can barely remember her. She passed away when I was too young. Right now what do I want? I really have no idea! I would like to see my family one more time, or would I rather just disappear? If I were to die today where would I go?
I look once more at myself, I feel good. I feel so good it is almost sacrilege. I wonder, how could I get out of here? I let myself analyze everything around me. They made a simple mistake, one they would regret for the rest of their days. The cell they looked me in shares the same wall that the one they are keeping my husband in. How do I know this, I can see him from the missing brick in that wall.

I wake up to the daylight, covering my eyes with the bed sheets, only to uncover them soon afterwards when I stop feeling oxygen reaching my lungs. I only slept for around two hours before the sun came out. Lately my sleeping cycles have been reduced to a few hours because someone thinks it is fun wakeup when his mommy has to sleep. I shouldn't be pouting now the kid still hasn't been born, but I really want to sleep at least twelve hours one night is it too much to ask for. I look at the clock it is only six in the morning it wasn't the first time I slept that little but it felt like it was. I'm already awake might as well get some food. I sit up and as I am about to stand I hear Natsu's voice.
"Lucy, go back to sleep!" he was still half as sleep so it sounded like a drunken stutter.
"I'm only going to make breakfast" he pulls me back into bed.
"You can't walk"
"Natsu I'm allowed to walk since months ago I want food right now!"
"uhg, go back to sleep we will get food later."
"LUSHI, NATSU!" I hear Happy and Jr calling out names. "COME HERE ITS AN EMERGENCY!" oh please tell me they didn't burn the house! Wait, Natsu is the one that does that. I stand up to go check when Natsu caries me out side recovering from his sleepiness, like motion sickness when he gets off the train.
He walks out the room while I keep a grip on his neck to make sure he doesn't drop me. He had already done that once might as well not risk it.
"I'm going to be papa!" Happy says as we follow him to the small house he had in the garden of our own. It had been built a few months ago to perfectly accommodate to the exceed's needs. The door was slightly smaller than a human house but it was made so that it could fit human guest when we entered though that was a big difference. The furniture was mostly exceed sized and ceiling was two stories high to allow them to fly freely though the house. You could see that there was small living room like I guess you could call rooms, though they had only one wall, and they were attached to it, they also had floors that were attached to the wall. It was actually only the floor attached to the wall with a small couch a tea table and at times books each had a small difference from the other but the thing they had in common was that they could only be accessed by one of the flying exceeds. The furniture though the house was of the best quality better than what the Heartfilia estate used to have, this was worthy of a queen, or in Charlie's case a princess. Somehow this doesn't seem strange her mother must have wanted her to have this, I would like my baby to have a good life. Being a mage isn't the best paying job out there, much less the safest if something it was one of the least paying and most dangerous. More than once we almost get killed, and I almost get kicked out of the apartment more than once because I couldn't pay the rent, actually I did get kicked once because of that. Even now that we're S-class mages we struggle (mostly because Natsu destroys everything he touches). Seriously who can destroy a whole town without lifting a finger; it is just crazy even if it was an accident we are never allowed to go near the west border of Fiore again.
We go though one of the human sized doors to enter a human sized living room. In the middle of the room there is Charlie and her egg that has a small barely visible crack. Happy takes a hold of Charlie's paw as the watch in aw how the egg move as the kitten is trying to make its way out. I look at Natsu to see he is near tears, he looks at me back.
"This brings me lots of memories." He only replied with that and hugged me closer to him. At times he can also be like this that is when I notice that my vision is also blurry with tears oh Happy you have grown up so fast. Thing have changed so fast, to think that anytime now I will be having my own baby is a bit scary what if I am to strict and turn cold and distant. I want to be there for you I place my hands on my belly only to notice that Natsu already had his there, only a few more days. Then they small exceed flies out of the egg. Already a smile planted on her face, it's so small tiny in comparison to Happy and Charlie. The white wings are larger than her, with the fur of a light blue, the color of the morning sky.
"What are you going to name her?" ask as the tinny exceed settles in her mother's arms, that just make her seem smaller than what she really is.
"Skye, she's our Sky" says Happy while looking at his hatchling.
