Hey, me again. Hope to finish this one soon. Don't know how it's gonna go, but I hope it goes good. This first chapter is gonna be really short but I promise I'll do better on the rest! This is a sort of AU where my needs are met. Such as: Jellal wasn't taken to prison, everybody is a few years older (like anybody pays attention to that, though), and more as the story develops.
Fairy Tail was a guild where you could always find excitement, especially today. Lucy was sitting at the bar, talking to Mirajane in a hushed, but hurried voice. She seemed to be troubled by something, and her eyes were filled with a mixture of both dread and worry. Mira, on the other hand, looked as if she could barley contain herself.
"Are you for certain?" Mira asked Lucy with a happy tone.
Lucy responded with not even half the excitement. "Yeah, there's no way that it was wrong. The things magical."
"Lucy, this is great news! I always knew that it would happen!" Mira squealed.
"But I'm only 18! I'm not ready for this kind of stuff!" Lucy groaned, her head falling limply onto the table.
"I'm sure it'll be fine. Just look at Bisca and Alzack" Mira smiled, patting Lucy's head reassuringly.
Lucy just let out another groan into the bar below her, to which Mira just chuckled. Just then, the guild hall doors opened, and Juvia staggered in. She walked over to the bar where Lucy was sitting with a slight uneven walk and plopped down in the seat next to Lucy. Lucy looked at Juvia, who seemed to look even happier than ever, with a glint in her eyes that could only have to do with Gray.
"Hey Juvia." Mira smiled at the rain woman. "How are you?"
Juvia smiled dreamily before glaring victoriously at Lucy. "As of last night, Juvia has won over Gray's affection! Lucy will never be a love rival of Juvia's again!"
Lucy's face turned into an expression of confusion, but quickly changed to embarrassment. "You know, some people keep that kind of thing private!"
"Lucy is just jealous over Juvia's victory in the battle for Gray's heart!" Juvia said, her head still in the clouds.
"Well, I'll say today is quite busy in love." Mira said, seeming even more excited.
Suddenly, Erza and Wendy entered. Both were floating, although Erza was only doing it figuratively. Carla was trying to get Wendy to stop drifting across the guild floor, insisting that she was using up magic energy, but she didn't appear to have heard Carla. Erza found a seat next to Juvia and Wendy placed herself next to Lucy.
"Let me guess." Mira said, her smile widened even more, which seemed impossible to Lucy. "You're in love?"
Wendy just nodded, not going into detail while Erza just muttered about not having any good white dresses to requip. Lucy just sighed as the girls of the guild went on with their own love lives. They were so excited. Lucy, on the other hand, was mortified. Natsu and her had only started dating about a year ago, around the time Cana had announced in a drunken glee, that she was pregnant with Laxus' child.
Lucky for Laxus, Gildarts wasn't at the guild during at that time. But that announcement had caused a few other people to reveal some secret relationships. Elfman and Evergreen had revealed in a shy but still very "manly" method. Erza had shouted out that she had been dating Jellal, to which everybody just flatly responded that they already knew. There were a few others, but none were that surprising.
Coming back to the present, Lucy now noticed the guys entering the guild, all coming back from what she assumed was some sort of gathered fight. Natsu was grinning, although he had one eye forcibly closed, and Happy flew above him cheering. Gray just looked pissed as he limped into the hall. Romeo quickly followed in after, yelling about how he knew Natsu would win. That statement only gained Gray glaring daggers at him. Jellal came in behind, seemingly the only level-headed one until he pulled out his wallet and forked over 20 jewl to Romeo.
"I regret that bet."
Lucy felt all the worry and fear dissipate as she saw Natsu's smiling face. There was no way this could go wrong, he was Natsu, and he'd love her no matter what happened. He was her guild-mate and more importantly her boyfriend. She was pretty sure if he dumped her after she told him, he would have hell to pay from the female section of the guild.
"I'll get you next time, flame breath." Gray said as he walked up to the bar.
"Sure thing, ice princess." Natsu said, sticking his tongue out at his rival.
Mira looked at Lucy with a forceful glint in her eyes. Lucy knew that there was no backing out of it now. "Hey Natsu, can I talk to you in private?"
"What is it Luce?" He said smiling, throwing an arm around her. "Can't ya just say it here?"
"I think I need to tell you alone." She said, feeling herself start to shake a little.
"Are you okay, Luce? Did somebody hurt you? Tell me their name and I'll burn 'em medium-rare!"
"Just, come with me." She said pulling him away from the group. Happy started to follow them, but a pleading look from Lucy made him stop.
She pulled Natsu into the infirmary and, after making sure that it was empty, sat Natsu down on one of the beds.
"Natsu..." Lucy said, staring at the ground.
"Well what is it?" He asked, wondering why she had made him sit down.
"I...I think I might be pregnant."
And that's it...sorry about that. I know it's bad, and I know that it's short. It'll get better, I hope. It's my first jab at a Fairy Tail fanfiction and I'm still trying to capture the characters. Not literately though. I hope that you'll stick with me as I try to write better. Thanks.
