Chapter 3

Dinner went by quickly. Lucy fed Nashi, and Wendy tried to stay focused on her food even though just looking at it made her stomach churn. The only saving grace for Wendy was that Lucy was having so much trouble getting Nashi to eat her mashed carrots that she didn't try to talk to Wendy.

After dinner, Wendy sat on the couch, hoping that after Lucy put Nashi down, she would let Wendy go out "with friends."

Wendy just wanted to get another test, but she wouldn't tell Lucy that. An hour after dinner, Lucy came down from putting Nashi down. Wendy, who had been watching the lacrima screen, got up to use the restroom just as the older blonde sat down. The problem was that the bluenette was too preoccupied with her thoughts to notice the small white stick falling from her pocket as she got up too quickly.

A detail Lucy didn't miss.

As Wendy walked into the bathroom, Lucy curiously picked up the white stick. She was completely surprised when she realized it was a positive pregnancy test. A million questions started running through Lucy's head. Why did Wendy have a positive pregnancy test? Why did Wendy have a pregnancy test at all? Was Wendy pregnant?

Lucy decided she would confront Wendy about it when she got back. She hoped dearly that she was wrong and that the test belonged to someone else.

In the bathroom, Wendy felt as though her head was underwater. Even staring at her reflection didn't help her to comprehend her new reality.

She thought about how the guild would react. Wendy and Romeo were the babies of the guild; everyone who was an adult now had watched them grow up and treated them like younger siblings. As Wendy reentered the living room, she stared at the floor, her head full of questions she couldn't answer.

Lucy drew Wendy from her thoughts, "Wendy, what is this?"

Wendy looked up from the middle of the living room, and her heart dropped.

She was in big trouble now.
