Chapter 1

As the sun was rising over Magnolia Natsu Dragneel started to wake from a deep slumber. He groggily got up and went to take a shower not even noticing that he was: A. naked, B. in Lucy's house, and C. he didn't notice that his partner was also naked. He turned on the warm water and let the droplets wash over his chiseled body. As he washed himself he tried to remember what had happened the previous night. He remembered the guild having a party and remembered he had a couple drinks but he didn't remember half the party nor what happened after. He shrugged it off and finished showering before grabbing a towel and wrapping it snug around his waist.

He walked out of the bathroom and noticed he was in Lucy's house. He guessed she had brought him there and let him crash the night before as he grabbed his clothes not even taking notice that they had been scattered carelessly around the room. He got dressed and decided to wait for Lucy. He went to sit down when he heard his stomach grumble. He contemplated for a while and decided he would just see Lucy when she got to the guild. Food was always more important and he quickly dashed out of the blonde's house and headed to the guild.

A few minutes later the blonde started to stir. The first thing she noticed was the pounding headache she had. She slowly sat up but quickly went back under the covers when she realized she was naked, what happened last night? She thought to herself. She sat for a minute trying to remember but came up with nothing. She didn't usually get drunk but it had been Gray's birthday and she decided it was a viable reason to drink. She started to get out of bed but as soon as she took a step toward her bathroom she quickly regretted it as a soreness washed over the lower part of her body.

Now she was really curious as to what had happened last night. Her thoughts were interrupted as she noticed two things that alarmed her. Not only were her clothes scattered everywhere as if they were thrown, she also noticed that her panties were charred at the sides. She started panicking when she saw a familiar white scaled scarf laying on her floor. She started piecing everything together when it hit her, "I had sex with Natsu last night," she mumbled. She scoured her brain for a better explanation than the one she had come up with but it was the only explanation that explained everything, why she woke up naked, why she was sore since it would have been her first time, why her clothes were everywhere, why her panties were charred, even why the dragon slayer's scarf was laying on her floor.

She tried to calm down as she tried to assess the situation, maybe I am wrong. Maybe Natsu knows what happened last night. I will just ask him if he remembers and if he doesn't then I will just leave it. Yeah thats good, she thought. She physically relaxed as her plan played out in her head and she smiled contentedly as she walked into her bathroom to take a shower. She quickly showered and hurried to get her clothes on, eager to ask Natsu if he remembered anything. She practically flew to the guild, but not before grabbing Natsu's scarf, and went bursting through the doors catching everyone's attention. She greeted everyone as she made her way over to the dragon slayer, "hey Natsu," Natsu turned from his conversation with Lisanna to Lucy and smiled, "hey Luce!"

"Hey can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure!" Natsu jumped up and told the white-haired teen that he would be back soon. Lucy led him right outside of the guild before quickly asking him, "do you remember what happened last night?" Natsu nonchalantly shrugged and replied, "nope," Lucy sighed and nodded, "Why were you asking?" Lucy froze at the unexpected question and quickly tried to come up with an acceptable answer for the dragon slayer, "umm….well I was just wondering because I didn't remember that much from last night," Lucy lied. Natsu cocked an eyebrow and sighed, "Lucy. We have been best friends for two years, not counting the seven year break. You can't lie to me," Lucy sighed knowing the dragon slayer wouldn't let this one go and decided that they needed to have this talk sooner or later, why not now?

"Natsu, something happened between us last night. I'm sure of it."

"What do you mean?" Natsu cocked his head to the side like a confused puppy and Lucy had to keep herself from smiling at how adorable he looked. The way his disheveled hair tilted with his head to the side, the pure innocence in his onyx eyes, his eyes wide and on Lucy made him look like a little kid. Lucy was quickly shaken from her thoughts when the concerned dragon slayer was suddenly inches from her face, "you okay Luce? You were looking at me weird" onyx eyes analyzed brown ones as Natsu searched for an answer in the blonde's eyes. Startled by the close proximity Lucy stepped back shaking her head, "yeah, I'm fine. Sorry I got distracted."

"By what?"

"Nothing Natsu. Anyways! Are you sure you don't remember what happened last night?" Natsu was about to shake his head but was interrupted, "try and remember please," he looked at the blonde as her lower lip jutted out forming a pout and her large doe eyes somehow grew even wider. She tilted her head lower and looked up at the dragon slayer clasping her hands together. Knowing Natsu could never turn down her puppy dog face she jumped up in celebration when the dragon slayer sighed and said, "fine I'll try to remember," taking another step back the blonde patiently watched as the dragon slayer scoured his brain for memories from last night, "I remember the party. It was ice bastard's birthday. Cana started a drinking game," Lucy rolled her eyes at the predictable drunkard, "and for some reason you and I ended up playing," Natsu continued, "after a couple of drinks you started getting a little too flirty," Lucy blushed as the dragon slayer shot her a sharp glare before continuing, "after a while I got tired of the endless flirting and decided to take you home," the pieces were slowly coming back to the pink-haired mage as he thought about it more. Lucy interrupted him continuing as the night started coming back to her as well, "you unlocked my door once we got home and put me in my bed to let me sleep…"

"I remember laying you down and then heading to the kitchen to get you some water but you grabbed me and pulled me to the bed with you and…" suddenly what happened after came rushing back to Lucy and her eyes grew wide. Not long after, Natsu remembered what happened and his hand flew up to his mouth as their heated night started playing in his mind. Her moans, how hot it got, the passion, her touch, her kisses…he remembered it all, "d-did we-?"

"mhm," Lucy replied trying to make sense of why she had done that. She had made a move on Natsu and now they had done what she had never thought she would ever do with her best friend. Did she have feelings for Natsu? No, she couldn't. He was her partner and best friend; nothing more, "what does this mean for…us?" interrupting her thoughts the inevitable question hit Lucy like a ton of bricks. What did it mean for them?

"Well, I don't know. Do you have feelings for me?" Lucy asked terrified for the answer he would give. Her heart was in his hands now and he made the decision whether to hold it and keep it safe or drop it and let it break in two. Natsu looked confused and out of it as he replied, "I don't know…" disappointment pooled in Lucy's stomach. So he didn't have feelings for her. Or he wasn't sure. Even though he hadn't said he didn't have feelings Lucy couldn't help but think that there was no way he liked her. He only considered her as nakama, "what do we do?" Another question that Lucy didn't know the answer to. As innocent the question was Lucy couldn't help but feel a little irritated. Why should she know the answer? She was just as confused and lost as he was. Didn't he see that? Apparently not.

"I don't know. I don't want this to affect our friendship so let's just forget it ever happened. Last night never happened. That's probably whats best since we don't have feelings for each other," Lucy hated lying and the answer she gave Natsu left a bad taste in her mouth but she knew if she wanted things to go back to normal she would just have to forget the night ever happened.

Natsu thought about the answer Lucy had given him. Just forget? What if he didn't want to forget? He wasn't sure about how he felt for the celestial mage but her answer somehow made him feel disappointed. So she doesn't have feelings for me… he thought to himself. Ignoring his thoughts he replied, "okay. Sounds good," an awkward silence settled over the two after he gave his answer. Unsure of what to say Lucy finally remembered, "oh! You forgot your scarf at my house," Natsu's eyes widened as the blonde pulled out his beloved scarf. How had he forgotten to put that on this morning? Why hadn't anyone said anything?

"Thanks! I can't believe I left it!" Lucy nodded politely and another awkward silence settled over the two once again. The dragon slayer carefully wrapped his scarf around his neck, adjusting it in the process before smiling in contentment. Needing someone to talk to Lucy decided it was time to end the awkward confrontation, "well I am going to go eat," and quickly walked away before the dragon slayer could say anything.

Lucy needed to talk to somebody. She needed to have someone help her sift through her muddled thoughts. She scanned the guild and her eyes landed on a certain bluenette she knew would know what to do. She quickly walked up to her best friend and asked for her to come over. Levy looked up at her with wide eyes before saying, "of course Lu-chan. Are you okay?" Lucy smiled reassuringly at her friend and nodded. Levy got up and they walked out of the guild as Natsu was walking back in. He glanced at the two before shrugging it off and running to start a fight with Gray.

Once they arrived at Lucy's the celestial mage locked her door and all her window's before sitting her concerned best friend down on the couch and sitting down across from her on her coffee table. Levy could see the pained expression on Lucy's face and was concerned. She had never seen her best friend this distressed and it worried her. Her thoughts were interrupted as her friend blurt out, "Natsu and I did something last night,"

"What happened?"

"Natsu and I…we… had sex," silence enveloped the two as Levy processed what the blonde had just told her. Levy was usually pretty quick to pick up on things but her friend had caught her so off guard and she had known the pink-haired dragon slayer for so long that all of it baffled her.

Lucy waited nervously but patiently as her best friend deciphered what she had just confessed. After a few minutes of silence, realization flashed across the bluenette's eyes and she jumped up, "WHAT?!" Lucy flinched at her loud tone and said, " I don't know, we were both drunk from Cana's stupid game and he brought me home, I made a move, one thing led to another and here we are..."

"YOU made the move?!"

"I guess it was the alcohol but other than that I don't know what got into me. I don't usually ever make the first move! Now I am unsure of my feelings and I just don't want this to affect our friendship…" Levy sat down and set her arms on her legs. She gave the blonde a reassuring look knowing how worried Lucy was, "Lu-chan. It's going to be okay. It happened and there is nothing you can do to take it back. Can I just ask you one question?" Lucy hesitantly nodded and let her friend continue, "do you have feelings for Natsu?" her blood froze and she stiffened. She didn't move, she didn't breathe, she didn't even blink. She had been dreading this question and had pushed it to the farthest corners of her mind not wanting to think about the answer even though she already knew it.

For a while she thought about what to say to her best friend. She couldn't lie to her but telling her meant admitting her feelings and confronting her feelings and she wasn't sure if she was ready for that. A hand interrupted her thoughts as it landed on her leg. She scanned the room and locked eyes with a concerned mage sitting in front of her not realizing she had zoned out, "Lu-chan. Tell me the truth. I know it's hard to admit but you need to do this. You can't ignore your feelings. It will come back to bite you in the butt," Lucy sighed and nodded, "I love him…" she trailed off and silence was all she heard for a while.

Tears started to fill her eyes as feelings she had denied, rejected, and pushed away came flying at her, hitting her like a brick wall. She looked up at Levy as a tear escaped down her cheek, "I love him…" she whispered as if the first time wasn't convincing enough. Levy smiled at her friend and hugged her, "why are you crying Lu-chan?"

"What if he doesn't love me back? Maybe he never will."

"Don't say that! I bet he does! Why else would he hang around you and worry about you so much?"

"Yeah, well he is too dense to realize I am sure."

"Why don't you tell him?"

"No! If he doesn't feel the same then it will be awkward and I don't want to ruin our friendship! After what happened last night I don't want to jeopardize our friendship again!"

"Lu-chan-"

"Please. Just give me some time to think about it. Maybe I will tell him. Maybe I won't but please just leave it for now," Levy sighed and nodded, "okay but promise you will think about telling him?" Lucy smiled, "I promise," Levy nodded with a satisfied smile before getting up, "well I better go back to the guild before Gajeel comes after me. I left without telling him where I was going and he freaks when I do that."

"Awww! That's so cute! When are you going to tell him you like him?" Lucy winked and Levy blushed a deep red, "Lu-chan! I don't like him!" Lucy smiled knowingly and said, "sureee. Well you should get back to your dragon slayer," Levy huffed at her friend before leaving the blonde's apartment sporting a dark red face. Lucy sighed and decided to go to sleep early. She showered, got in her pj's, and tucked herself in.

~time skip~

One week later Lucy sat in her bathroom staring at the stick that had decided her fate. Tears ran down her cheeks as she helplessly looked at the plus sign that had made its way across the small screen. A sob racked her body and she keeled over on to her knees. She fell on to her side and lay on the floor in the fetal position. She had been able to handle the fact that her and Natsu had sex but she couldn't handle the fact that because of that night she now had a human growing inside her. How would she tell Natsu?

After lying on the floor for what seemed like hours, she wiped away her tears and headed for the guild. She was going to go to the one person she knew would be able to help her. As she walked the cool air hit her skin and caused goosebumps to form on her arms. She remembered the day after her and Levy talked she had woken up and immediately flew to the bathroom to throw up. She had dismissed it as having some kind of flu but when she got even more symptoms like sore breasts and fatigue, she started to worry. She took the test and sure enough she was positive.

She opened the doors to the guild and saw Natsu and Lisanna talking at the bar. She hadn't paid any attention to it but now that she thought about it, the dragon slayer and his feline friend hadn't been making an appearance at her house lately. In fact the last time she talked to the dragon slayer was when she gave him his scarf. Worry pooled at the pit of her stomach but she pushed it away, trying to focus on the problem at hand. She walked over to Levy and sat down next to her. Levy glanced up from the book she had her nose stuffed in but had to do a double take as she noticed the tear stains on her best friend's cheeks.

She quickly put the book down and Gajeel glanced over at the teary-eyed blonde, "can you talk for a minute?" her voice shook as tears threatened to spill but she held them back, "of course," Levy quickly stood up, pulling Lucy with her and the two hurried out of the guild trying to be as unnoticed as possible. They walked outside and got out of earshot of the guild before Lucy broke down and fell into Levy's arms. Levy soothed the blonde as best she could and asked, "shhh, it's okay. What's wrong?"

"I-I'm pregnant!" Levy's eyes widened considerably and she squealed, "LU-CHAN! That's awesome! Why are you crying?"

"How do I tell Natsu?" Lucy looked up at her friend and Levy's smile dropped. The blonde looked so helpless and vulnerable she couldn't help but feel sympathy. Tears of happiness welled up in her eyes and she cupped the blonde's cheeks, "oh Lu-chan. Just tell him. Do you know how excited he will be? You can't worry about your friendship right now. If anything this will only make your guys bond stronger. I am sure he will be soooo excited! So don't worry please. Just tell him," Lucy smiled and wiped her tears away, feeling reassured by her friend's motivating words, "you think?"

"I know" Levy smiled and Lucy nodded. Lucy straightened up and sighed, "guess I better go tell him," Levy smiled and the two made their way back to the guild. Lucy walked in feeling more confident and made her way over to the pink-haired teen who was still sitting next to Lisanna. Natsu looked over and smiled at the blonde, "hey Luce!"

"Hey! Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Yeah but first I have to tell you the best thing that happened!" Lucy smiled and nodded and waited for the dragon slayer to continue. Lisanna and Natsu stood up, both were beaming, and their hands weaved together, and Lucy watched as the world around her crumbled and darkness surrounded her. The only thing she saw where the two hands weaved together. She couldn't stop staring at the hands. Everything seemed to be in slow motion. She heard a voice that she recognized as Natsu and she slowly looked up at his smiling face as he said, "Lisanna and I just got together!" Lucy felt the air being sucked out of her lungs.

She felt like she was being suffocated and she stepped back. Tears started to fill her eyes but she held them back and forced herself to smile, "I am happy for you two. I have to go though," Natsu gave her a confused look but before he could question her she turned on her heel and quickly ran out of the guild. she ran through the streets of Magnolia trying to get to her house before she broke down. She slammed her door open and closed and collapsed on the floor. She tried catching her breath as the sight of Natsu and Lisanna holding hands ran through her mind. She couldn't tell him now. She didn't want to risk breaking them up. They both looked so happy but she couldn't keep this pregnancy a secret for long.

She thought about it for a while before she finally came up with an answer. she abruptly got up off the floor and started to pack write a letter. She was half way through packing when she heard a knock at the door. She wearily walked over to the door and looked through the peephole. She sighed in relief and opened the door to none other than Levy. Levy smiled sadly at her friend and said, "I heard about Natsu and Lisanna," Lucy sighed and motioned for the bluenette to walk in. Once she was in she saw the suitcase and fear washed over her features, "Lucy…" Lucy smiled sadly at her friend and let out a sad chuckle, "wow. It has been a while since you called me by name. I guess there is no hiding it. I'm leaving."

"No! You can't! I won't let you!" Levy yelled as tears welled up in her eyes. Lucy tried to smile but failed as tears streamed down her cheeks, "I'm sorry, but I need to. This is what is best for me and the baby."

"How?"

"I can't stand to see them together and what am I supposed to say when people ask about the baby bump that is bound to show up soon? No one is going to believe I had sex with someone I barely knew and I can't just break up Natsu and Lisanna! They are so happy!"

"But Lucy...this is your family. This is where you belong. Fairy Tail is your home. We need you…"

"I know. And I am so glad I found you guys but I can't. I will visit sometime in later years when I can tell them I met someone."

"Are you really going to let your child grow up, not knowing who her father is?"

"I will tell her and maybe if one day Natsu and Lisanna break up then just maybe I will tell him too," Lucy pulled out a note she had written before Levy came and handed it to her, "When everyone asks where I am give them this. Until then, don't read it." Levy nodded and took the note before giving her best friend a big bear hug, "please come back at some point. Please…"

"I will some day," Levy leaned back and nodded before wiping her tears. She said goodbye to Lucy and headed home. Lucy watched the bluenette go and let another tear escape down her cheek. She didn't know how she was going to do this but she had to start thinking about the baby and she knew stress wasn't good for an expecting mother. She finished packing and started to make her way to the train station. She stopped in realization and turned on her heel and ran for the guild hoping the master was still there. it was pretty late and Lucy left her luggage outside behind some bushes before walking into the guild. Mira was drying some glasses when she spotted Lucy, "Hey Lucy! I haven't seen you around the guild much lately! How have you been?"

"I have been good! Yeah I am sorry. I have just been busy lately. Is master still here?"

"Yep! He should be in his office! Please come by the guild more often," Lucy smiled sadly at the barmaid and sighed, "maybe," and before Mira could say anything more she ran up the stairs and to the master's office. She softly knocked and soon heard a quiet, "come in," as she opened the door she saw the master sitting on his desk, cross-legged. He looked up and smiled at Lucy, "hello my child. What do you need?" Lucy hesitantly walked up to his desk and sat down in a chair across from him, "I have to leave Master. I am leaving tonight. I won't be back for a very long time."

"May I ask why?" Lucy's hand subconsciously went to her stomach but she said, "no. I would rather not say," although a small gesture the master saw it and immediately knew, "Okay but can I just tell you one thing?" Lucy looked up in surprise but nodded, "did you know that most pregnant women have a tendency to touch their stomach? I guess it's comforting to them. Maybe to the baby but they do it subconsciously. I don't think they even realize it like you didn't notice that when I asked why, your hand went up to touch your stomach."

"W-What?" Lucy's eyes widened to saucers. She didn't have a response. She didn't know what to say. She was frozen in place. The master smiled knowingly, "I can be very observant when I want to. My guess is that the child is Natsu's," if Lucy wasn't baffled enough by how he had automatically noticed she was pregnant she was definitely shocked more than ever. For a while they sat in silence as Lucy tried to comprehend the fact that master had just figured out two of her biggest secrets with one small gesture, "how did you know?"

"It's easy. The night of Gray's birthday party you were flirting it up and Natsu got pretty jealous. Plus I know you don't have as strong a bond with anyone else as you do with Natsu," Lucy sighed and figured he already knew the biggest part of it all, she might as well tell him the rest, "I was going to tell him but then he told me he was with Lisanna and they both looked so happy and I couldn't just ruin it like that. This is what's best," without another word the master jumped down from his desk and walked over to the blonde. He hovered his hand over her right hand and suddenly her guild mark disappeared.

Master gave her a reassuring smile and said, "this is just temporary my child. The next time you walk through the doors of this guild it will reappear. For now though you must go your own way," Lucy smiled through the tears that were building up and quietly said, "thank you," master smiled and Lucy got up to leave. She took one last look at the master's sad smile before she left. she didn't say a word to Mira and grabbed her luggage before going to the train station. She bought a ticket and boarded the last train of the night. As the train started to pull away a tear trailed down her cheek as she chanted in her head, "this is for the best, this is for the best," and soon enough Magnolia was nothing but a distant sight as she made her way to the town where everything started. Hargeon.
