Chapter 15:

Save, Unnoticed, Return

Lucy Pov.:

*TIME SKIP 1 1/2 months*

We walked off the train as I get nervous. 'I hope they don't notice anything,' I thought while I pulled off the a necklace and we walked out of Mangolia train station.

Flashback on the train (2 weeks ago):

"Remind me, why did we take the train," Natsu asked as he clutched his stomach.

"I'm sorry, Mirajane was out of teleporting lacrima and for your information according to the instructions on the teleporting lacrima its says not use when you are three or more months along in pregnancy. And according to Emiko, Draco, and Tatus, I've had a new for almost three-month," I replied, "Which is why Igneel flew us down to where we just outside the town."

"Alright, you're right and I'm sorry," Natsu responded and I look him and I saw understanding and I saw something else, I saw worry.

"Natsu, whats wrong," I asked and he frowns throw his pain.

"The guild, if they, especially Erza, found out that you are with child, they will try to stop you from fighting," Natsu said, "While I'm worried about you, I can't stop, but the guild will try to stop you."

"I know that which is why I brought this," I replied as showed him a glass flask that was rounded and had short neck and cork the was connected to a chain. Inside flask was a silver liquid thats called unnoticeable potion.

"Whats that," Natsu asked as he analyzed flask.

"Well, you know me and reading," I replied, "I did some reading on potions that well make my pregnancy unnoticeable to those who don't know even."

"Lucy, you know that we have two dragon slayers in the guild," Natsu responded, "They can smell and hear like dragon."

"I know, Natsu which why this potion was extremely hard to find," I told him, "It can mask over anything and I had the potion maker make it to where it can mask and unnoticeable anything about this pregnancy even the scent of the pregnancy."

"How will the potion last," Natsu asked.

"One to three months," I replied, " I don't think we'll need anymore time then that."

Natsu nodded then he asked me, "When do you plan to take the potion?"

"I'm thinking right after we get off the train," I answered and I looked into Natsu's eyes and we both had tears in our eyes.

"Lucy," Natsu whispered.

"I don't like lying, either," I replied, "I want to tell them the good news but we have to beat Zeref then we can have this baby and be happy again. I love you, Nuria, and our second child I'm carrying but I don't want our world to go to crap and not have a place for our family to happen."

"I know," Natsu replied and we both began to let the tears roll down my face, "I just wish that things didn't have to be this way."

"I know and I'm wishing for the same thing," I replied then we kissed, "I love you."

"I love you, too," Natsu replied.

End of Flashback.

"Lucy, take that potion now before we get in smelling distance of Gajeel and Wendy," Natsu whispered and I nodded as silent tears rolled down face. I uncorked the bottle and drank the potion while we walked.

"I took it," I whispered and Natsu grabbed my hand and I

"How long does it to take effect,"Natsu asked.

"A minute, and its been 58 seconds. It will be in effect in 2 seconds,"I replied.

"Well, six feet from the mile radius," Natsu replied.

"12 seconds is more than enough time for potion to take effect since we walk a 8 feet every second, we were good," I responded. Then 12 seconds later we stepped into the mile radius of the guild aka the longest distance a dragon slayer can get a scent and the potion just kicked in about 10 seconds ago.

Third Person Pov.:

*TIME SKIP 5 minutes later*

"Wendy, do you smell that," Gajeel asked and Wendy smiled lightly.

"Those are some scents I have smelt in a while," Wendy said.

"Four years for me," Gajeel replied and Wendy smile faded slightly but remained.

"Yea, but its been almost 8 years for me," Wendy responded, "If Romeo, Happy, Carla, and I hadn't been on that mission, we could have gone."

"Its okay Wendy," Romeo said then he kissed her on the cheek, "At least we can tell them the good news in person."

"I know," Wendy replied and she looked at the new diamond ring on her finger.

"So I'm guessing you've all ready claimed fire boy as your mate," Gajeel whispered into Wendy's ear and she blushed then nodded.

"Good for you sky maiden," Gajeel replied with hearty chuckle.

"Gajeel," Wendy spoke with embarrassment in her voice which made Gajeel laughed harder.

"So am I the first to about you two being engaged," Gajeel asked sounding serious.

"Yyes," Wendy replied as she blushed even harder.

"Wow, Romeo, you haven't told your father yet," Gajeel asked.

"My father, he been lecturing about how marriage was the worst decision of his life," Romeo said, "He'a so annoying… I would rather you or Natsu get the news first then my father, not really the person I want to know first. He'll probably give me a 24 hour lecture on why marriage is the decision of my life. The only problem is I don't think I should listen to a lecture that won't change my mind."

"You are just like Salamander on the front," Gajeel commented, "When you make a decision, you stick to. Wendy, you made a good choice."

"Thanks for blessing, Gajeel," Wendy said to her brother figure, "It's really sweet."

"I AM NOT SWEET," Gajeel yelled.

"Oh, Gajeel, thats what you get for teasing me," Wendy said as she began to fall to the floor laughing, "That was priceless!"

Then the door swung open and I familiar female voice rang throw the guild as it yelled, "WE'RE HOME!" Gajeel, Wendy, Romeo, and everyone else turned to looked at the door and saw a girl with tan skin, brown eyes, and light pink hair who smiles with her parents, Natsu and Lucy, behind her after she kicked the door wide open. (Author note: Nuria 's hair is a lighter pink than Natsu's because of Lucy's blond hair. Think of it as mixing white with pink, it becomes lighter.)

"Hey, guys and girls, who's ready to help us fight Zeref," Natsu asked sounding very bold.

"Anytime, anywhere, when do face with the dirty bag," Laxus said, "After all, a little bird told me that my dear old man is working with him along with the Mystic Wolf guild."

"Damn," Emiko cursed under her breath.

"Emiko, you know you can't deal with them, you've help with Zeref's dragon," Natsu said as he and his family went to the back of the guild, "Mirajane, one fire whiskey and spicy orange for Nuria. And for Lucy and Emiko?"

"I'll have some sushi, I'm more hungry than thirsty after I always drinking water," Emiko said with a smile as Natsu sat at the bar with Nuria in his lap, Emiko on the left of Natsu and Lucy on the right of him.

"I want the usually Strawberry milk with two cherries on top,"Lucy spoke with a smile, "And Mirajane, I missed you very much."

"Welcome home," Mirajane said then everyone got out of their usual spots and ran over to them and did a group hug.
