Author's Note: Sorry for the long delay on a new chapter. I know at the end of the last chapter I stated I was going to revise the story. I decided not to revise the story at this time. I would like to finish the story and work on my other ones. Thank you to my readers. Please enjoy the new chapter.

Chapter 25

Lucy woke up early, eyes shining with happiness and a huge smile on her face. She was excited that Laxus was coming home. She was also excited to get the key, even though she wouldn't be able to try and make a contract with the spirit until after their baby was born. She got ready for the day and went down stairs for breakfast.

Erik already had breakfast made for both of them. He made a big breakfast with eggs, waffles, bacon, and sausage. Lucy made a plate with a waffle that had strawberries, whip cream and chocolate drizzled over it. She cringed looking at the eggs. She did take some bacon. Erik took all the eggs, most of the sausage and the rest of the bacon.

"Good morning Lucy, how are you and the baby this morning?" He asked.

"We are both good. Thank you for the breakfast." She said. They both finished making their plates and sat down to eat. She started to space out while eating, she couldn't believe that a key that had been lost had been found.

"Lucy you okay?"

"Huh? Oh, I'm fine. Just thinking about the key. I just remember my mother telling me about the key and that it had been lost." She started to eat her breakfast.

"How about we go wait at the guild once we finish eating?" Lucy nodded.

Once they had finished eating, they got dressed and headed to the guild. Lucy was glowing more than usual; she couldn't wait to see Laxus. She was so excited she was bouncing, well a little bit due to her big belly. The baby could feel the excitement and was continuously kicking.

As they got closer to the guild, they could hear how loud everyone was being. All Lucy could do was smile. As they entered everyone would wave or say hi to Lucy and Erik. Lucy waved back as they made their way to where the group sits.

"Hey Erik, can you hear my baby's soul yet?"

Erik listened for a couple minutes to see if he could hear the baby. "No, not yet."

Lucy sighed, she really wanted to know the gender. An idea popped in her head and she got up to find Wendy. She stood by the stairs looking for Wendy. When she didn't see her sitting anywhere, she decided to check the infirmary. It took her a couple minutes of slowly waddling to get to the infirmary. Unfortunately, no Wendy.

"Hey Mira, do you know where Wendy is?"

"She hasn't come to the guild yet. Go relax and I will send her to see you when she gets here. Can I bring you anything?"

"A strawberry shake and fries sound wonderful." Lucy says. Mira smiles and nods.

Lucy goes back upstairs and sits down. As soon she sat down, the guild doors opened and Laxus walked through with the group behind him. She started bouncing in her seat. The group went right up to their table to see Lucy before reporting to Makarov.

Evergreen ran right up to Lucy, "Lulu! I have missed you and the baby!" She put her hand on Lucy's belly and then gave her a big hug. Freed and Bickslow waved at Lucy and headed to Makarov's office.

"Alright Ever stop smothering my mate." Ever sticks her tongue out at Laxus and sat down next to Lucy. Laxus helped her stand up, gave her a deep kiss and wrapped his arms around her, taking in her scent and the baby's scent.

"I'm glad you are back and you are all safe." Lucy said. Laxus just hummed. "I'm going to ask Wendy if there is a way to tell the gender of the baby. Do you want to know the gender or be surprised?"

"I'd like to know the gender of the baby, if it can be done." He said.

Mira came up carrying the food for Lucy. "Wendy just got here and I told her to come up and see you."

"Thank you, Mira."

Lucy took a sip of her shake, and ate a couple fries. Wendy came up and sat by Lucy.

"Are you okay Lucy? Mira said you wanted to see me."

"I'm good Wendy. I wanted to know if there is a way to find out the gender of our baby."

Wendy put her chin in the palm of her hand while she thought about it. "I believe there is! Let me contact Porlyusica."

She got up and ran to the master's office to use the lacrima. Lucy was smiling ear to ear as she grabbed her milkshake. She was hoping they would find out the gender today, that way they could decide on how to set up the nursery. Freed and Bickslow came out and sat in their normal spots. Lucy finished her milkshake and fries by the time Wendy came back out.

Wendy stood by Lucy grinning. "I know how to tell the gender of your baby. If you want, we can go to the infirmary and I can find out for you."

Lucy was so excited she had trouble getting out of her seat. Laxus helped her stand, and the three of them went to the infirmary.

"Okay Lucy, lay down for me."

Lucy laid down, trying her best to stay still. She took a deep breathe, and grabbed Laxus's hand. Wendy put her hands over Lucy's belly and closed her eyes. She channeled her magic into her hands, and lowered them to rest on Lucy's belly. She gently pushed her magic into Lucy's belly and she was able to see the baby.

She slowly pulled her magic back, and smiled. "The gender of your baby is...
