Memories

Gray's P.O.V

It was dusk when I heard a loud crash coming from the bathroom. I leaned out of Lucy's bed linen and squinted at the bed side clock. My brain finally registered the noise and I began calling for Lucy.

"Are you ok? Lucy?" I started lightly tapping against the wooden door; I pressed my ear up and listened for any movement.

Slight murmurs and harsh breathing could be heard and I didn't hesitate to slam open the door. Lucy's ghostly white body was huddled over in the bathroom corner, shards of glass spread out on the floor and the remains of once a whole jar. The moonlight filtering flickered as I moved over to the quietly sobbing blonde, the shards of glass glistening with a pale white light. My height shrunk and my hand crept up to Lucy's wet and sticky cheek and I brushed aside the gleaming tears. Her head lifted and her tearing eyes gazed into mine, more tears fell and my eyes filled with even more concern.

Lucy's P.O.V

I felt Gray's eyes filled with worry on me and the lump in my throat grew. How will he react? Gray slipped in next to me and I moved in closer to his warm chest. I felt his muscular arms wrap around my shaking shoulders and I breathed in his minty musk.

Savouring the rise and fall of his torso and calm breath caressing my ear, I hear him whisper the question "What's wrong? Lucy?"

I have to tell him. I thought over and over, my mind whirling and stomach flipping I stutter "G-Gray, don't l-leave me. P-please."

Gray's grip tightens and he pulls me to face him, "Lucy, you know I'd never leave you. What's the matter?"

My head drops into his hard chest again and I take a deep breath.

"I-I'm Pregnant."

Then there was silence. My legs shift after a few moments; I turn away from him and begin to stand.

"I understand if you don't want to get involved, I- I" I stop trying to make the situation and instead let my bangs cover my tearing eyes again. Gray's chuckle breaks the silence and my head jerks up at the sudden reaction. His legs bent in front of him and his shoulders slightly shaking from laughing, his spiky, midnight hair covering all of his face a part from the toothy grin spread ear to ear.

Gray's P.O.V

Before I know it I was laughing, I clambered up to my feet and I took in Lucy's shoulders, I lean down and gently plant a passionate kiss on her trembling lips. When we finally drew back for breath, I stared into Lucy's wide chocolate eyes.

"G-Gray, what was that for?" Her voice still a little shaky from crying, I shook my head in amazement.

Lucy's P.O.V

"I'm going to be a father!" Gray shouted proudly, his eyes filled with happy tears. His brightened face almost lightening up the room and his grin managed to grow even bigger. I couldn't help but smile back, relived and also happy about the future. Unknowingly, my hands wrapping around my soon to be bloated stomach.

"So, what were you so upset about?" Gray asked still astounded after catching several breaths.

"I-I... guess I was just upset that I won't be able to fit into my favourite outfit anymore."

Gray shook his head again and linked his hands behind my waist, his hot lips pressed against my forehead and my heavy eyelids close for a moment.

"I love you" he announces in the moonlight.

"I love you too" I reply, knowing that reaction was probably the best one I hoped for and I knew that he would never leave me.

Gray's P.O.V

"And I never did and sure enough mummy's tummy bloated even bigger with time, I think we spent more on maternity clothes than on baby supplies."

Lucy slapped my elbow and I whined in response before drawing her in for a kiss.

"Mummy?"

"Yes, Hunny? Lucy replied, gazing at our child.

"When will we get there?"

"Soon, baby, soon. Maybe Daddy can take you to the food carriage for a while.

Lucy's P.O.V

Once they had left, I zipped open my handbag. My hands unfolded the crinkled letter and I scanned over the curly writing.

We haven't told anyone about the reasons of departure so I'm sure it will be a wonderful surprise for your return.

Indeed, I wonder how the others will react after 5 years without any warning or telling of our leaving and return. Above all, how will Natsu react?

After 5 years, how has Fairy Tail dealt with their Nakama's disappearance? Who is Lucy's and Gray's child? And why is Natsu just so damn angry? Find out in chapter 2: Returning Home.
