Natsu woke up that next morning feeling nothing but cool air run down his back, a groan escaping his lips while he rubbed his eyes in an effective manner. He groped the air to find some sort of flesh or material that belonged to his lovely fiancé who he knew was supposed to be sleeping next to him but when he felt nothing but air and blankets; his eyes shot open.

"L—Luce?" Natsu croaked, his eyes blinking for a minute before his vision became clear. He looked around to see everything else but Lucy.

Where was that chick? She didn't wake up early on days where she didn't have class.

"Lucy?" Natsu tried again, this time a bit louder to find out if she was in the bathroom or outside. He swung his legs over the edge as it now hung from it, blinking once more to find everything spinning for a while.

The college student groaned as he got out of bed, slowly making his way to the bathroom to peek in and notice Lucy wasn't there either. He frowned for a moment before he started to go towards the door, opening it to sniff the air.

That's odd; where's the regular smell of delicious breakfast Lucy made if she woke up early?

Natsu walked outside and down the small hallway, looking into the kitchen to find it empty. His frown deepened and his curiosity got bigger as he looked around the dorm, finding it completely empty and knowing Levy had class today, he didn't really worry about her. But where in the world was Lucy? He knew she would never leave without informing him first.

Now, he was real worried.

Natsu went back into Lucy's room as he knew his phone was there, walking inside the bedroom to grab his phone. He unlocked his phone and saw that there was mutilple text spam from that Angel girl, a sound of disgust coming out of his lips as he didn't read all of those texts that filled up his box.

The college student and huffed, going to dial Lucy's number and press it against his ear.

As a second past it already went through voicemail, the pink-haired male blinking in surprise. Did she put him straight to voicemail? Was she mad at him or something?

Natsu frowned and tried again but it went straight to voicemail once again, a sigh escaping his lips. He better call Erza or Levy and ask if they know where the blonde was.

And if they don't know—he has plan C.

Go to Lisanna and freak the hell out.

Lucy woke up that morning feeling stiff and sore, a groan escaping her lips as she stretched. She looked around as she noticed she wasn't in her room next to Natsu but instead Lisanna's spare room that she kept just in case of a guest came over.

Lucy blinked a couple of times as her face was twice the size it was yesterday—thanks to all the sobbing she did when she came over around eleven.

She didn't even know why she came to Lisanna out of everyone she knew that was closer. Maybe it was because Natsu knew Lisanna would be the last place she would go to but maybe because Natsu was smart enough to check up with Erza or Levy first before consulting his childhood friend.

The college student frowned and lied on her back, staring up at the ceiling.

What was Natsu doing right now? Did he know he gotten some woman pregnant months ago? What would he do when he finds out? And why was she so upset about it? It wasn't like Natsu was going to leave her for her and the baby; would he?

Tears burned in her eyes as she sudden felt like crying again, not wanting to even think about Natsu doing that. How could he do that to her? After everything they have been through?

She felt betrayed and she knew she shouldn't have gotten involved with that playboy, she knew he would eventually ditch her in the end after taking her virginity and making her fall in love. It was like that every single time—all the guys were the same dirty pigs they are.

Lucy rolled in bed and buried her head into the pillow, taking in a deep breath to scream for a good minute or two.

When she was done, she pulled away and started to sob uncontrollably. Why did everything bad happen to her? Why did she have to be cursed with all this?

Lucy kept crying and crying as she heard fast pace footsteps come towards her room, the door opening to reveal a lazy-looking Lisanna who has just woken up. Her hair was everywhere, she wore an over-sized t-shirt with baggy sweat pants and she still looked better than she did! And that woman was pregnant too!

Lucy cried even more at her misery as Lisanna came rushing over, enveloping her into a big hug and cooing at her. Lisanna was such a great person—why couldn't she be like her?

Married young with somebody she loves, pregnant, happy, smart, beautiful, enrolling into a great school; soon, Lucy was practically sobbing a whole stream down Lisanna's apartment.

And she knew she would just get even more emotional if she thinks about anything else.

~X~

After crying for a good 30 minutes, Lucy has finally stopped crying and snuggled into the pregnant woman's arms, Lisanna cooing at her and rubbing her back soothingly. She just felt so bad about everything and she was angry at her childhood friend for doing this to somebody she absolutely loves and once she sees him, she was going to give him a good piece of her mind.

Lisanna gave Lucy a soft pat in the back and smiled, "Don't worry Lucy. Forget about him, he was an asshole anyways."

"L—Lisanna . . . "

Lisanna blanched as she saw the look Lucy gave her, a sigh escaping her lips. "I—I mean . . . want some ice cream and watch some movies with me?!"

"Y—you don't need to do that for me . . . I should really head back—"

"No! Come on, Lucy. You're not bothering me at all; we can spend the day together! Just the two of us! Come on, it'll be fun."

"You sure?"

"Yes; I'm actually craving some ice cream. Do you like double chocolate brownie mix?" Lucy's eyes lit up to the word as Lisanna laughed, standing up. "Great! I'll just head downstairs and go grab four tubs of ice cream from the cooler and we can watch a movie on my TV."

"..You guys have ice cream cooler downstairs?"

"Yeah, they recently had it built in." Lucy stared at her for a moment, wondering if she should come live here with her. "Now, what other flavors do you like?"

"Strawberry, please."

Erza groaned as she heard the rapid knocking on her dorm, covering her face with her pillow. She kept silent to see if the person would go away but the knocking got even louder when she didn't respond and she groaned again, throwing her pillow at the door.

"Go away!" She shouted, Jellal mumbling something as he rolled over and wrapped his arms around Erza's naked waists.

"Erza, I need to talk to you. It's important,"

Erza kept quiet for a moment, trying to see where she has heard that voice before. When she realized who it was, she threw the sheets off her and walked on over to her door without even throwing anything on.

She unlocked her dorm room and swung it open, tilting her head up to see the pink-haired male looking a bit distressed, only in sweat pants and a t-shirt. She watched his eyes widen when he realized she was only in panties, strains of scarlet hair covering her nipples—just barely. His eyes wouldn't move up no matter how hard he tried and only if her hair was just a little bit to the side he could see her—

"Eyes up, mister. Or else I'll uppercut you in the balls," Erza growled making his onyx orbs go back up and meet with her dark brown eyes. She looked tired and she had crazy sex hair which made Natsu think of Lucy.

And that's what he was here for, not to fantasies about some girl that wasn't even his.

"Oh, uhm, right. Uh, have you seen Lucy?"

Erza blinked. "Lucy?"

"Yeah, you know, this tall, blonde, brown eyes, big boobs and fine ass, have you seen her?" Natsu asked as he stared at the scarlet woman who looked utterly confused. She stared at him for a moment before her eyes darkened. "You lost Lucy?"

"Well, I wouldn't really say lost—"

"I haven't seen her since couple of days ago." Erza stated as she yawned, Natsu nodding. He sighed and flashed a friendly smile. "Thanks, I'll be on my way." He waved and spun around, walking down the hallways of the dorms. Erza watched him leave and closed the door, walking on over to the bed where Jellal was, staring at her with half-lidded eyes. "What happened?"

"I don't know but I'm sure everything is alright,"

"Alright," Jellal nodded before he wrapped his arms around Erza and the two fell back asleep.

~X~

Lisanna and Lucy both giggled a bit as the male did something hilarious in the flick, the two munching on crackers and drinking soda, their empty ice cream tubs by the side of Lisanna's bed. They have been watching movies, eating, and spending time together like friends would do and it helped Lucy a lot.

She didn't have to think of Natsu, she didn't have to cry anymore, and she was actually happy.

The blonde munched on a cracker as she watched the screen, seeing the man running into guys and chasing after the girl of his dreams. The two sighed happily as they saw him run after her screaming her name.

This was just all too sweet to them.

"Man, I wish I could find a guy like that." Lisanna sighed, squeezing a pillow between her arms. Lucy raised a brow as she looked at her. "Lisanna, you're married."

"I know but Laxus isn't really the romantic type," Lisanna sighed sadly and Lucy nodded, looking at the sheets of the bed. Natsu was romantic—he was very sweet when he could be but he was a complete asshole when he was frustrated or something.

The blonde zoned out as she now thought about everything Natsu had done and said to her, tears accidently falling down her face and onto the sheets.

She didn't realize she was crying till Lisanna pointed it out for her.

"Lucy, knowing Natsu, he might be completely oblivious to this right now. I bet didn't even read the text from that girl."

"Lisanna, Natsu is dumb and dense but I'm pretty sure he would have read it." Lucy sighed, hugging her knees to her chest. "Nah, he wouldn't." Lisanna said after a moment of silence. "How are you so sure?"

"Well, I remember back in middle school when I sent him a couple of texts in the morning asking him to bring my textbook back since he borrowed it. And knowing Natsu, his phone is the first thing he checks after bathroom and such. But he still didn't bring it because he never reads the texts or anything but see who it's from."

"But, if he knew it was from you, why would he ignore it?"

"Natsu only answers text or reads it if he only wants to."

"That idiot only thinks of himself." Lucy clicked her tongue in disapproval, Lisanna giggling to herself. "Yes, and that habit never ever changes. Well, maybe it has. He has you now,"

"And that Angel girl," Lucy sneered in disgust, huffing while doing so. Lisanna rolled her eyes and put a hand on her shoulder, looking the brown-eyed woman in the eyes. "Look, Natsu may be an idiot but he is loyal to the people he loves." Lucy stared into Lisanna's sea-blue eyes and held her breath, knowing that was true.

"Besides, I bet he's on his way here right now."

"Wait, what?!" Lucy said after letting that sink in. As in cue, her doorbell rang and Lucy looked at her bedroom door to the white-haired woman who smiled. "See? I know Natsu like the back of my hand."

"W—wait! You're not going to answer it, are you?"

"Of course, I can't just let him stand out there and spam my doorbell." Lisanna stood up to go answer her door but Lucy ran to her bedroom door and covered it with her body. "You can't be serious. Lisanna, what are you thinking?!"

"I'm thinking about you and Natsu."

"No! You're—I—you can't do this!"

"Why not?"

"Because Natsu and I are not—it's complicated, alright?" Lisanna sighed and pointed to the side. "Move away so I could go answer the door."

"Lisanna!"

"Don't make me force you. I may be pregnant but I did do gymnastics for a good 12 years." Lucy blinked as she looked at the white-haired woman in front of her, cocking an eyebrow at her direction. Lisanna sighed and stepped towards Lucy, "It means I am pretty strong."

"But Lisanna—"Lucy started to say but got interrupted as the doorbell was spammed repeatedly, Lisanna groaning in process. "Lucy, move before he breaks my doorbell!"

"But Lisanna—!"

"That's it; I'm not buying a new doorbell because of that idiot pinket. Move!" Lisanna said as she bent down, scooped Lucy over her shoulders and walked out of her room with a screaming blonde. What surprised Lucy wasn't the surprise pick-up by her but what surprised her was that Lisanna wasn't lying when she said she was strong.

Lucy weighed almost 120 pounds and this woman who weighs almost about the same as her picks her up.

Lucy trashed and whined as Lisanna walked through her apartment, the blonde trying to wiggle out of her hold but she held her so thigh she thought she was going to pop. "Lisanna!"

"Oh hey Natsu, what's up?"

"Have you seen—uh . . . Luce?" Lucy froze as she heard Natsu's voice, cringing a bit.

"Have I seen what?" Lisanna asked smiling innocently; Natsu's onyx eyes trailing back to his childhood friend. He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly as he pointed at the blonde's ass that was sticking right at him. Lisanna glanced at Lucy and back at Natsu, giggling like a school-girl. "Oh, you can have this. This is for you,"

"I'm not a thing!" Lucy announced loudly as Lisanna placed Lucy into Natsu's arm, the pink-haired man looking down at Lucy who looked away nervously.

"I'll leave you two alone for a moment. I'll keep the door unlocked—come back in whenever, Lucy." Lisanna sang before she closed the door and left the two college students by themselves.

Natsu put Lucy down on her two feet and wrapped his arms around her waists; leaning down to kiss her lips but Lucy dodged it, Natsu stopping half-way. He tried again but ended up with the same results and huffed, looking at her. "Luce, where were you? You wouldn't answer my calls, my texts, you didn't leave a note or anything . . . I thought somebody kidnapped you or something." Natsu said, trying to get eye-contact but Lucy looked at everywhere else but him.

He frowned and he put his finger under her chin, tilting her head up to look at him. "Lucy, what's wrong?"

"..Have you . . . looked at your text messages?" Lucy asked, looking at him with teary eyes. Natsu raised a brow at her action but dug in his pocket to pull his phone out, unlocking it to go to his messages. He looked at his inbox to see nothing but texts from that Angel girl that he hasn't even read or opened. "I have, why? Is there something you sent me?"

"Did you see . . . the texts that Angel girl sent you?"

"Is this what everything is about?" Natsu let out a breath, chuckling a bit but stopped once he realized Lucy wasn't laughing. He frowned and looked at her, leaning in a bit closer. "Babe, what's wrong?" He asked, lowering his voice a bit more. Lucy kept her eyes on the ends of Natsu's scarf, playing with the tips.

"I . . . yesterday . . . saw something from her and . . . I think you should see it."

"What did it say?"

"I think you should see it . . . "Lucy mumbled, Natsu frowning at her action. He pulled away a bit and pulled his phone out, sighing to look at his inbox again. He scrolled up and started to read every single text she sent, slowly going down till he saw a particular one that caught his eye. Once he read it, his eyes widen. He looked at Lucy and back at his phone, going back and forth till he put his phone away and hugged her tightly.

She was surprised but when she was about to hug back, Natsu pulled away. "..Idiot!"

"E—eh?"

"Do you really believe some whore that just says she's pregnant with my baby? Luce, shouldn't you know me better by now?"

"I—I . . . "

"I would never let any other woman but you carry my child." Natsu said as he hugged her once again, Lucy soon relaxing into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and hugged him tight, a small smile crawling up her lips. He pulled away slightly and leaned down, about to kiss her lips but she dodged again, a groan escaping his lips. "What now?"

"How are you sure that she's not . . . you know."

"I used a condom?"

"But what if it broke?"

"Luce, why would she tell me this now? 9 months later? She'll be huge and she sent me a picture of herself yesterday. If you really want to see her, I'll text her and tell her to meet us tomorrow, how about it?" Lucy stayed quiet for a moment to think about it for a second. Would it be a good thing if she went? She does want to see if she was lying . . . maybe she could. She'll have Natsu with her too.

A smile crawled up her lips and she nodded, "Okay."

"Good, now kiss me because I've missed you like crazy." Natsu growled as he grabbed the back of her neck before smashing his lips into hers. Lucy grabbed the front of his shirt and kissed him back, missing the feeling of his lips against hers.

What was she thinking? She should have believed in Natsu from the start.

—X—

Lucy chewed on her nails as she kept having a mental argument with herself, wondering if she should really go meet this Angel girl or not. She wanted to but did not at the same time. What if she was really pregnant? What if Natsu had really gotten her pregnant and was forced to break up with her and be with Angel because she was pregnant with his child? What if Angel and Natsu live happily ever after and let her be single forever?

All these bad thoughts swirled inside her mind and she just wanted to rip her hair out in frustration, wondering if she should go or not.

Even after Natsu telling her over and over again that there is nothing to worry about and how they had amazing make-up sex last night—she couldn't help but worry.

The blonde paced in her dorm as she looked at her clock, noticing that Natsu was supposed to be here soon and she was freaking out even more. She doesn't want to go but a part of her was screaming at her to go.

Lucy groaned as she grabbed her golden locks, turning to look at her friend who was on the couch ignoring her and reading a book. "Levy—"

"Just go."

"But what if—"

"What if she is? Natsu wouldn't leave you and I'm sure she wouldn't be pregnant,"

"But—"

"Just go."

Lucy whined and threw her hands up in the air, groaning in agony as Levy was making her go without a second thought. The bookworm also wanted to see how this will turn out and she wanted Lucy facing her fears even though she was one hundred percent she was right. She started to think of an excuse to say to Natsu once he gets here so she didn't have to go but didn't have enough time when she heard the doorbell ring.

She gasped and jumped behind the couch making Levy look at her dorm mate with her eyebrow raised. "What are you doing?"

"I—I decided I'm not going!"

"Lu-Chan—"

"No! I'm not going! I'm not taking any chances, I'm perfectly happy with my life right now and I do not want it to get ruined."

Levy sighed at her friend's paranoia and got up, setting her book and glasses down on the coffee table. She walked to the door towards the door, ignoring Lucy's cries and pleas, unlocked the door to see Natsu standing there with his grin of his.

"Yo, Levy. Where's Lucy?"

"She's hiding behind the couch,"

"Why?"

"She says she doesn't want to go."

Natsu's grin dropped as he stepped inside the dorm, going around the couch to see Lucy in crouching position, a pout on her face. He walked over to the hissing girl and crouched down, looking at his fiancé who avoided eye contact. "Lucy? You okay?"

"Err, I think I'm coming down with something," She fake-coughed and used a raspy voice. "We might have to cancel this—KYAAAH!" Lucy let out a loud high-pitched squeal as she was lifted up into the air and swung over Natsu's shoulders.

She pounded on his back as she threw her arms in the air. "Put me down!"

"You sound perfect to me."

"I—I—"

"Thought so. Come on, we don't want to make her wait,"

"Yes we can!"

Natsu sighed as he said a small goodbye to Levy who held the door open for them, giving Lucy a wave while the two disappeared down the hallway, Lucy screaming for help but being ignored by anyone who they past. When they were out of the dormitory Natsu put her down on her two feet, the blonde turning to run but Natsu grabbed her wrist before she got the chance. "Luce, I will carry you all the way there,"

"B—but—"

"Lucy, what's wrong now? Why don't you want to see her?"

"I—I'm nervous. What if she is pregnant? I'm happy with the life I'm living with you right now so . . . "Lucy trailed off making Natsu sigh and look at her as if she was crazy. He ignored her and started to walk towards the café, dragging the protesting college student with him. "Lucy, even if she is pregnant, I won't leave you so don't you dare think about any of that anymore."

"But Natsu—"

"Oh look, we're here!"

Lucy stopped talking and paled once she saw the café up ahead; digging her heels into the street but Natsu's strength pulled her forward.

They stopped in front of the café and Natsu gave her a kiss on the temple, giving her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, whatever you do, stay by my side."

"I should be the one telling you that," Lucy murmured, a chuckle escaping his lips. He kissed her once more and grabbed her hand, turning to walk in the café. Natsu looked around the café looking for a certain white-haired woman and when he saw one he tugged her towards her.

Lucy looked at the woman that was sitting down at the back of the café looking bored and tired, only the upper part of her body showing and by how she looks, she doesn't look like she was pregnant.

And that made her feel happy and relieved.

When they arrived at the table Lucy was practically beaming since she did see that this Angel girl was skinny and looking pregnant-less in her eyes and she could feel Natsu relaxing too. The couple smiled at Angel and Angel smiled back, standing up to make both of their smiles fall.

She was pregnant.

Lucy felt like somebody had just slapped her in the face looking at her full stomach that looks like it was about to pop and she felt Natsu tensing once more, his hand gripping hers so tightly that she thought it might come off.

The couple stared at her as if they were watching somebody murder somebody, both of their breaths hitching in the back of their throats and eyes wide. No words were exchanged for a good minute before Angel moved, moving forward to wrap her arms around Natsu's waists.

"Oh Natsu! I missed you!"

Natsu felt awkward as he felt her huge baby bump press against his stomach and have another woman hug him, his hand giving Lucy's a squeeze as he never let her go afraid she might leave.

"A—Angel?"

"Natsu! Yes, it's me! Do you remember me?" She pulled back and looked up at him with a wide smile, not even giving Lucy a glance. "N—no,"

Angel pouted but grabbed his other free hand, pressing it against her swollen stomach. "Natsu, do you feel our baby?"

Natsu's eyes widen once more as he did feel the warmth of her stomach, pulling her hand back to see that she was indeed pregnant. But was it his child? It couldn't be—he used a condom. He knew it didn't break, if it did, he would have known. Natsu took a step back as he stumbled against Lucy, the blonde reaching to grab him before he fell.

He couldn't believe it, he felt light-headed and he just wanted to run away.

"Natsu-honey? What's wrong?" Angel asked once she saw the face Natsu was making, reaching towards him but Lucy stepped in front of her boyfriend who looked too lost. Angel's eyes wandered up and down Lucy's body as she finally got eye contact from the woman who was glaring at her.

"Don't touch him or call him that disgusting nickname,"

"And who are you?"

"I'm Lucy Heartfillia, his fiancé." Lucy hissed, Angel blinking in surprise when Lucy announced that. A long silence appeared and Angel and Lucy stared at each other, wondering what to do next. Lucy couldn't possibly do anything about this—this woman was pregnant and fragile and she knew Angel couldn't do anything to her since she was pregnant. Natsu was also out of the question since he looks like he was about to faint any second.

Lucy took a deep breath and let the breath out, looking at Angel who cocked a brow at her. "Angel," Lucy said, trying hard not to snap at the woman. "Tell me, who's the father of this baby?"

"Natsu Dragneel."

"No. Tell me the real father of this baby,"

"What are you talking about? It's Natsu—"Angel started to say but Lucy put a hand on her shoulders, her chocolate brown eyes piercing into her indigo colored eyes. Angel gulped and looked away, narrowing her eyes to the ground as Natsu regained his posture and grabbed Lucy's shoulders. "What are you doing?"

"Watch. Angel, who's the father?"

"What makes you think the father isn't Natsu?!" Angel snapped, looking at Lucy who raised a brow at her. "You're just trying to make me feel guilty and admit something you want me to say because you don't want me to take him away from you!"

"Fine, then tell me why you didn't contact Natsu as soon as you found out you were pregnant." Angel looked at Lucy with wide eyes as she looked away from her nervously. "I—I lost his number,"

"Why didn't you try to find him as soon as possible? Why wait 9 months? You must be lying because no girl will wait and knowing that if you slept with Natsu you must have slept with plenty of other guys. How do you know it isn't one of their babies? Why come for Natsu?"

"Y—yeah!" Natsu weakly cheered Lucy on in the back making Lucy roll her eyes and keep her stern serious look. Angel gulped nervously and put her hand on her swollen stomach, looking at the ground. "I—I'm sorry . . . "

"Damn right you better be!" Natsu said and Lucy gave his shoulder a smack, the pink-haired man shrinking back to leave it to his fiancée. "Angel, why?"

"I—I like Natsu-Kun very much . . . and he's one of the guys I remember sleeping with and I really do not know who's baby this is." Angel mumbled under her breath, Lucy frowning as she felt a bit bad for her.

Lucy was about to hug her and tell her it was alright but Natsu beat her to it, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and pulling her into his side. He gave her a huge heart-warming smile that made her blush. "Don't worry! You'll be fine, I promise. I know it's hard but once you find out and raise your child, you'll see it'll be better!"

"H—how do you know, Natsu-Kun?"

"Uh, well, that's how imagine it." Natsu said while looking at Lucy making her flush and look away, a grin appearing on his face. Angel looked at Lucy and back at Natsu, feeling the love in the air. She smiled softly and nodded, looking down at her huge baby-bump. "Thank you."

"No problem—we'll be here so whatever you're in town, give us a call and we'll help." Lucy said making Angel look at her in surprise. "D—don't you . . . hate me?"

Lucy blinked in surprise, looking at the white-haired woman. "Why would I?"

"I—I tried taking Natsu-Kun away from you and lied . . . "

"Watch this baby have pink hair—"Natsu murmured to himself as he pulled away from Angel, Lucy shooting him a glare. She looked back at Angel and smiled softly. "Angel, I understand what it feels like to want something and feel completely lost. And, I wouldn't hate you for doing something like that—you admitted it and even apologized so . . . I don't see the reason why I should hate you."

"Oh Lucy, you're such a sweetheart!" Natsu exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air startling the blonde. He wrapped his arms around her and picked her up, Lucy choking out air. "Anybody would be lucky to have you as a girlfriend! Wait, that guy is me." Natsu smirked looking at Lucy who blushed and glared at him, the two completely forgetting about Angel who was staring at them in awe.

She stared at them for a moment before a smile appeared on her face, turning to grab her purse and head for the door. "Thank you, guys."

Even thought they didn't hear or see her, she said it anyways.

She left the café and carefully walked across campus, a huge smile and determined look on her face.

She could do this—she'll survive. After all; Natsu and Lucy said it will be and they seemed pretty confident.

Now all she had to do was look for that prick who got her pregnant.

A/N: Ahhh—it's uploaded! And it's really crappy and that escalated real quickly.

Now will you excuse me, I need to go watch The Little Mermaid because it's just such a great movie—
Thanks for reading! Don't forget to leave a lovely review!
