The next day Rogue walked into the guild hall followed by Frosch who was happily clinging to the picture of Kagura's baby. Frosch had been so excited he even slept with the picture.
"What have you got there buddy"Orga asked when he saw the picture.
"Kagura's baby"Frosch said smiling as he handed Orga the picture. Orga took it and smiled as a small crowd started to show up.
"I hope it's a lot better looking than you"Sting said slapping his brother on the back.
"Aww she's so cute"Yukon's cooed.
"How do you know it's a girl"Sting asked.
"I can just tell"Yukino said smiling. She was obviously sure of herself but Sting and Lector seemed skeptical.
"I'll believe it when I see it"Lector added.
"Oh yeah let's bet on it"Orga said.
"I'll call Natsu we will get more money if they are all involved"Sting said laughing before rushing off.
"Sorry Rogue looks like you're baby turned into a gambling thing"Yukino said shrugging before walking in Sting's direction. Rogue just sighed he couldn't say he was at all surprised by his brother's antics.
Kagura wiped her mouth and groaned as she got up again. She wasn't having the normal morning sickness of pregnancies she had heard about. Instead she would get sick after being on trains or boats which had never been a problem before.
As she looked down at her slight bump she couldn't help but put a hand on it protectively. It must have been the dragon slayer inside her. When she walked back to her room she saw Miliana, Erza, and Arana who had a camera in her hand.
"What is that for"she asked eyeing the camera. Ever since the girls had learned she was pregnant it seemed like she never got a moment alone.
"A photo shoot of course, every month we are going to take pictures so we can see how the two of you have grown"Arana explained and Kagura had to admit it didn't sound like the worst idea.
"But you can't wear that, cmon let's go get you some new clothes"Milliana said and Erza groaned.
"I want to but I have to go meet Natsu and Grey for some training"she groaned and Kagura was relieved.
"Oh well no need for any shopping then"Kagura said shrugging but she could tell by the smirk in Milliana's face she wasn't getting off that easily.
"You two go get an outfit i'll set up this room, the lighting is all wrong"Arana said as she started to unscrew the lightbulb.
"Hey wait-"Kagura tried to protest but Milliana was already shoving her out the door.
Not to mention that Kagura's normal clothes had gotten a bit more snug. Kagura and Millianna were headed for the nearest boutique when they ran into Minerva of all people.
"Where are you two mermaids headed"Minerva asked stepping in their way.
"What are you doing here"Millianna asked. This was definitely the last person Kagura wanted to see but she couldn't get her payback for their last encounter she had to think about her baby. Not to mention the fact that she didn't have her swords since Milliana had rushed her out.
"Just thought me and the mermaid had a little unfinished business"she admitted.
"I don't wish to fight you"Kagura said turning to walk the other way. She was near the shopping district so she didn't have to ignore Minerva for much longer. Before she could get far she felt a blade deep into her stomach. Kagura fell to the ground clutching her stomach.
"Stop she's pregnant"Millianna yelled at Minerva as she crouched to protect Kagura.
"Oops"Minerva said shrugging before walking off in the other direction.
Rogue had just gotten back to the guild hall after the mission when he saw Yukino talking to Arana, Risley, and Beth. When they saw him they all frowned and Beth was even crying.
"What are you three doing here"Sting asked going over to the group of girls. Rogue followed trying not to appear worried.
"Where's Kagura"Rogue asked trying to keep calm. She was supposed to meet him here when he got back for lunch. Her absence and her guild mates presence couldn't have been a coincidence.
"Minerva stabbed her she's at the clinic now"Arana said trying her best to keep the tears in. Rogue's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. It didn't make it any better when Frosch started crying. Rogue held him tightly trying to keep his own emotions in check.
"What are we waiting for let's go see her"Sting said urgently, seeing that his brother was in shock. Risley and the girls led the way and once they got into the clinic Rogue burst in holding Frosch. When Millianna saw them she stood up and looked at her friends. Kagura was asleep and she had bandages all over her chest. Frosch jumped out of Rogue's arms and climbed onto Kagura's bed.
"Wake up"Frosch said, nudging her. This brought most the people in the room to tears besides Sting and Rogue who was trying to hold back the tears.
"Kagura didn't do anything wrong"Millianna said before she started sobbing as Risley held her. Rogue clenched his fists if he found Minerva she would pay for this.
"She lost so much blood and she hasn't woken up"Millianna admitted. Just then a nurse came in.
"I'm sorry but we can't have this many people here tonight"the nurse said.
"Cmon Millianna let's get you home"Arana said leading her friend away.
"Can you take Frosch with you tonight"Rogue asked Sting as he sat down and held Kagura's hand.
"Fro wants to stay"Frosch said snuggling up closer to Kagura. Rogue just sighed obviously Frosch wasn't going anywhere tonight. Once everyone else was gone he was a lot more relieved and he just looked at Kagura. If he had been there it wouldn't have happened and now they might lose their baby which had been a complete accident but now he found that he wanted it more than anything. He just kissed her hand hoping they would both pull through.
When Rogue woke up he realized Kagura was awake and he couldn't have been happier.
"Rogue"Kagura asked hoarsely. She was obviously confused and he guessed she hadn't been awake long.
"Do you need something"Rogue asked sitting up. He tried not to groan as he straightened his back that chair definitely wasn't the best place to sleep.
"Is the baby ok"she asked looking down at her stomach. When she did she saw Frosch laying down with his head on her stomach like he was protecting it.
"I'm not sure yet"Rogue admitted even though he thought Frosch looked adorable down there. Just then the nurse came in.
"Well Miss. you are very lucky the blade missed your baby and all your vital organs"she said. Kagura let out a sigh of relief and put a hand on her stomach. She was sore but at least the baby was going to be alright.
"When can she go home"Rogue asked ready to get out of the hospital.
"Let's go now"Kagura said sitting up.
"Wait Miss I-" Kagura ignored the lady and picked Frosch up before putting on her jacket.
"You said my baby is fine so i'm going home"Kagura said calmly,
"Wait Miss please at least stay in bed for a day or two so you don't stress the baby"the nurse called out. Kagura nodded before walking out with Frosch in her arms still asleep. She should still be in so much pain but here she was walking.
"Kagura let me carry you you're still hurt"Rogue said as they walked out and he saw her wince in pain.
"No that's ok i've had worse"she said. Rogue just rolled his eyes. He should have known the only way that was happening was if he didn't ask. So that's exactly what he did picking her up bridal style.
"Hey put me down"Kagura tried to say, struggling.
"Shh you'll wake Frosch"he said hoping to shut her up. Luckily for him Kagura didn't want to wake the cute little exceed so she stayed quiet and wrapped her arms around his neck no longer struggling but she was blushing. Not long after that she felt her eyes get heavy.
"Where's your apartment from here"Rogue asked. When he didn't hear a response he looked down and saw that her eyes were closed and she was quietly snoring. He couldn't help but smirk. As tough as she tried to act she was human too. He knew she may not like it but he just decided to take her to his apartment. He laid her in his bed with Frosch before going into the other room to give them their privacy.
