Some Bruises Don't Vanish Chapter 6

Flashbacks

Present

Later that night Juvia laid in bed looking up at the ceiling. Thinking of the situation she was in she started to tear up and rolled over to her side. "Juvia is never going to be away from Kano. Juvia thought she was done with him and now she can be possibly carrying his child." For a brief second Juvia felt a chill go down her spine. It was something she did not expect because it is spring and her apartment is nice and warm.

The only time she felt that was when something bad was going to happen. All she kept thinking about was what can possible happen that is worse?

1 Week Later

Juvia walked into the guild hall and looked around to find a place to sit.

"Hey Juvia! Over here!" in the corner table sat a waving Lucy, Happy, Gajeel, Levy and baby Nashi was sleeping peacefully in Levy's arms. Juvia approached the table and gave everyone a smile and sat down in front of Levy.

"How old is the baby now?" Asked Juvia who was admiring the pink haired baby.

"She is one week now. She is actually really good, she just sleeps a lot like her father." Lucy answered with a chuckle. Lucy noticed the little smile that formed on Juvia's face. "Did you want to hold her? You don't look sick anymore so you don't have to worry about spreading it." Before Juvia can even answer Lucy gentle grabbed the baby from Levy, who was sitting next her, and came around the table and set her in Juvia's arms. "Just make sure you support her neck, and if she started to fuss just bounce her a little bit, she loves it." Lucy went back to her original seat between Levy and Happy.

Juvia looked at the sleeping baby in her arms and she was overpowered with happiness. For a second she forgot the possibility of Gray not being the father and just thought of a baby that was the spitting image of Gray. From the hair to the eyes and even the cold body that you get from being an ice mage. She was content with her imagination and did not want to come out of it. But with her luck all things come to an end.

From the corner of her eye she saw Gajeel get up from the end of the table and sat next to Juvia on her right side. She saw him get closer to her and take a big long sniff. Juvia looked at him in confusion and looked across at their friends. Levy was reading a book and Lucy and Happy were arguing on whether to change the baby's name to Happy Jr. The bluenette looked back to the man sitting next to him and scooted away from him a little. "What are you doing Gajeel?" Juvia whispered.

Gajeel backed away from her and looked her in the eyes. They showed no emotion and that is what scared Juvia the most. Gajeel gentle grabbed the baby from Juvia's arms, "Hey Key Girl, here is your kid. Me and Rain Women need to look at some jobs to do since she is feeling better."

Juvia looked at him puzzled, "What are you-"

"Just get up will yeah! You're not the only one who needs to work." Gajeel said while huffing angrily.

Juvia willingly got up and walked to the board with Gajeel and started looking at the jobs. "How about this one? It seems easy and pays good." The water mage pointed to a flyer with a bridge and a figure under it. The only description it says is to get rid of the troll under the bridge in Huntsville and collect the reward of 750 thousand jewels at the town hall office.

Gajeel didn't even look at the flyer just at here and said, "It better be easy cause you can't really fight when your pregnant huh?"

Juvia's face turned pale and her face dropped. Her heart felt like it was beating a thousand times faster than usual. " Ho-How did y-you kno-know?" She could not even talk right. She did not want anyone to know, especially not Gajeel. She did want him to find out what happened.

Gajeel crossed his arms in front of him and had his usual frowning face. "I can smell the different scent coming off of you. The baby has a faint scent, it is hard to smell because of in being inside of you and it being the size of a peanut."

The water mage was twiddling her fingers and was looking down at them. For some reason she felt embarrassed. Like she was a teenager that snuck a boy in her room and just got caught. Gajeel was like an older brother to her, but yet she felt like she let him down. Even if she is only 20 years old. "Gajeel seems mad at Juvia."

Gajeel sighed and put his arm around her shoulder. "I am not mad women. I just do not think this is the best time to have a kid. Especially since you are still healing physically and mentally after what happened with Kano."

Juvia looked up at the metal dragon slayer and tears started to form. "Are you saying Juvia should get rid of the baby?"

Gajeel pulled away from her and scratched the back of his head. "It is your life and your body. If you and Ice Cube wanna have this baby it is up to you but I want you to think of yourself also. What does the father think of it?"

Juvia felt like she was going to puke when he said 'the father' especially since she does not even know who the father is. "He should be back tomorrow. The train that usually goes to the town his mission was in broke down so they had to stay another night. Plus the train ride is about 12 hours long."

The Metal Dragon Slayer nodded and turned to the board. He took off the flyer the Juvia was looking at and handed it to her. "Me and Panther Lily will go with you so that you can get money and start saving up for the little twerp."

Juvia took the flyer from him and gave him a small smile. "Okay. but we have to wait until Gray comes back. Juvia does not want to worry her Darling." Juvia turned around and took a step forward but was stopped by Gajeels words.

"You are going to be a great mother. You and Ice Boy have so much good inside you that the child will never know what darkness is."

Juvia turned around slowly and whispered, "What if Gray had a lot of darkness in him? Do you think the baby would be evil or bad?" Juvia could not get the thought that her baby might be like Kano.

Gajeel was taken back by her words and a little confused as to why she would even ask a question like that. "I mean I wouldn't even know the answer to that. You do not have to worry about that because you and Gray both have good in you both, so you have nothing to even worry about"

Juvia nodded a little, "Your right…. Thank you." The pregnant women turned around and walked over to Mirajane. She handed her the flyer and told her that Gajeel, herself and Panther Lily are leaving for the mission in three days. Juvia then waved bye to her friends that were still at the table and started walking to the doors to leave. As she was leaving a little boy and his mother came through the doors with bags in her hands and the boy had his favorite dragon in his arms "Oh hello Yumi, Juvia hasn't seen you or Akio in days." Juvia bent down to Akio and tussled his hair and smiled at him.

Yumi set some of her bags down and stretched her arms a bit. "When had to go make to my village and grab the rest of the stuff in the house. The house had to many bad memories so I sold it to a couple that was new to the town." Yumi looked down at her son as he hugged Boomer. "He seems to be taking it hard. With the moving and what happened to him father. It was just a lot for him to handle."

Juvia nodded and felt guilt sink into her stomach. She wanted to vomit everywhere, he did not know if it was because of what she did or from the pregnancy. Whatever the reason she could not hold it down for long. "Juvia understands." Juvia looked at her bags and saw that she was carrying 4 bags in each hand. "Would you like Juvia's help carrying your bags?"

Yumi gave her a small smile, "Are you sure you wouldn't mind?"

Juvia smiled at the women, "Of course not. We help each other around here." Juvia grabbed 2 bags in each hand and so did Yumi. The went up the stairs, that were located behind the bar, and went into the first door to the left. When Juvia opened the door it was a very small apartment looking room. It was suppose to be another room for the injured that were getting treatment, but Master gave it to the single mother and her child since it had its own bathroom. The room was decorated and was like a studio apartment so the living room, kitchen and bed room were all together. Even though it was small, it was still a nice comfortable place to stay in.

Yumi can from behind Juvia and set her bags on the floor in the living room area. "You can set the bags here."

Juvia set the bags next to the others. As Yumi was looking through the bags she let out a huff. Juvia looked over, "Is something wrong?"

Yumi looked up at her at said, "I forgot my other bag, I think it is downstairs in front of the guide. I set them down there to rest my arms a bit but I must of forgot to grab it. Do you mind watching Aiko while I quick get it?"

Juvia looked over at the boy playing with his toys in the kitchen area, then back at his mother. "Juvia does not mind at all."

Yumi smiled and quickly ran out the door.

Juvia waited until Yumi left the room and walked over to Aiko. The boy was playing with boomer and two animal toys. The bluenette sat next to the boy and was looking at his hair. Juvia thought to herself, 'How does Juvia do this? Pull and run? Make it seem casual? How is pulling a hair out casual.' Before Juvia can come up with something Aiko stood up and started to walk to his toy box. A few feet before he reached it he stepped on an article of clothing, slipped and fell.

Juvia quickly ran to him and picked him up. As the boy was crying, Juvia was bouncing a little and rubbing the bump on his head. "Shhh it is okay Juvia has you. It is just a bump." As Juvia was still rubbing his head she closed her eyes and plucked a piece of hair from his head. The boys head hurt anyways so he did not feel much anyway.

About 2 minutes later the little boy stopped crying and his mother came back to the room. Juvia explained what happened and Yumi checked the boy over and gave him a big hug. Juvia smiled at the scene and went on her way with the piece on hair in her hand.

XXXXXXX

Juvia went back to her house and put the piece of hair into a vial. Cana lived in the same building complex as her so she knocked on the door of the Magic Card user. After waiting and knocking for 3 minutes Juvia put the vial into her mailbox that was right outside her house. Juvia went back to her place and into bed.

Juvia felt exhausted and needed a nap. As she was lying in bed she couldn't help but remember all the bad things that have happened to her. She did not bother to stop the tears, she felt relieved to let her emotions out, she stop pretending and to let it all out.
