Disclaimer- I do not own Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima does.

I shouldn't of taking mission 2 months ago. I knew that I shouldn't of taking it but I did and I did it alone. Well what I shouldn't of done was fall in love with him. Of all people in the guild it had to be that dragon slayer, I mean I just had to go and fall for that arrogant self-centered egotistical insensitive jackass of the guild.

I groan as I felt like I was about to get sick for the umpteenth millionth time this morning. Well I do know one thing sitting here on the floor banging my head against the wall trying to fight not to get sick again or anymore this morning was not going to help me to get things done. So with that thought and with all my will I pushed myself to get ready for the day as normal. As I did this I thought back to that day 3 weeks ago that should have been my first clue that my life is going to hell in a hand basket real quick.

~Flashback~

It was the same as any other mission with team Natsu. What started out as a simple easy mission of find the kidnapped maidens from the village and capture the kidnappers responsible, turned into a disaster. What the villagers didn't tell us was the kidnappers who took the maidens were in fact seven mages, but in all fairness the villagers probably didn't know. So let's break this down. We caught up to the kidnappers, and found out they all were mages. So Natsu, somehow someway, took the leader, Erza took two others, Grey got two, and somehow they gave me the weakest ones and I did well. I took one down fairly easy, but when I was about to take down my last one and then help Grey, I end up getting sick. I am not talking about a simple little cramp. Oh no, I am talking about, you can't help but to cry out and clutch your stomach, all while dropping to yours knees and to start to throw up. That's right, I, Lucy Heartfillia, had to be saved because I started tossing my cookies in the middle of the fight beside Grey who was closest to me.

"Lucy!" Grey and Erza cried out at the same time while I was getting sick. Grey quickly finished not only his but my last mage as well before turning to look at me while Erza put her hand on my shoulder. I looked up at her and saw concern on her face. So I quickly reassured her that it must have been something I ate, or maybe I caught one of the flu bugs going around, and I would be alright. Thankfully Natsu came over and was complaining about how the mages wasn't very tough. I was also thankful that he didn't notice that I had gotten sick, even though I did start to feel better. So I sent him silent thanks for distracting Erza and Grey for me.

I stood up and walked over to the kidnapped maidens that the mages took from the village. They appeared to still be unconscious. So I was getting concern about that. "Um guys, are they alright? I mean shouldn't they have awaken by now?" I asked.

Erza came over, checked them, and replied, "Yes they will be. However, they will wake up with a strong headache from that spell the mages use. We may as well get them back home so they aren't too scared when they wake up".

End flashback~

As I walk to fairy tail, I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear Loke come up behind me until he put an arm around me. I jump and let out a loud eep. Which of course he flashed me that smile of his and said, "Princess, are you ok? I know, you were thinking about what a great team we could make, that you didn't even know I was right here." And the smile turns even more devilishly charming with a slight purr to his voice. "Ah, it is so nice to be on your thoughts so much".

Now if I could, I would love to push that playboy charm of his down his throat because today was one of those days that it just grates my nerves to no end. I don't know how I refrained from snapping at him, but I did. With a thought running though my head that maybe I could use this to my advantage. So I turn to him and said "Loke, is there a place that I can train to get stronger with my magic, but other in ways as well?"

"Yes princess, but why? I mean why now, all of a sudden?" he replied back with a slight frown on his face.

"Could I tell you a bit later today, please? I have a few earns to run, and don't want to be late," with that I turn to walk away. As I did, I heard him say, "Of course princess, I would wait all day for you." I just grind my teeth together over the comment as I walk towards the clinic that was farther in town to confirm what I already knew deep with in my heart.

time skip later that day

It was true. I know it was true, but to hear it confirmed to me just made everything to real. I was pregnant. I am going to have a child, but it's just a dream, right? That's right, everything is just a dream. A horrible dream and when I wake up, I will be in my bedroom and have a good laugh about this, or at least a good cry. Though in my heart I know it isn't a dream, as much as I wished it to be. When I got to the guild, I head back into the guild's library, where my best friend Levy was.

Levy looked up from the book, and then frowned as she saw the daze and lost look on Lucy's face, "Lu-chan, what's wrong? You know you can tell me anything," she said. Lucy looked up and then broke down in tears, and told Levy almost everything.

"Levy, I don't know what to do. I am pregnant. I know I am keeping my child but there are so many other factors involved in this mess. I can't tell the father because I don't know where the father is. On top of all that, the father is a powerful mage. He also comes from a strong magical family and if people found out about my kids, they wouldn't be safe because people would always be after them. Oh Levy, I think I need to leave for a while to keep my kids safe, and come back when they are older. Though I not sure if I want to leave my family just yet. What am I to do, Levy?" Lucy said all while crying on the blue hair mage's shoulder.

"Lucy, come on now. Everything is going to be ok. You know that I and the rest of the guild would do anything to protect your kids, and the master could help find the father. So you won't have to leave unless you want to. So chin up and dry those eyes. You know that I would be more than willing to help you, because that is what best friends are for." While trying to calm Lucy down, then add in a teasing tone to try to cheer her friend up, "So just who is this mysteries mage, who caught your heart? Is he handsome, what's his name, and do I know him?"

Lucy laughs and then replied "I want to tell you, but I kept it a secret for so long that I don't know if I could bring myself to say it out loud. However, I could give you clues about who he is, and if you get it right I will let you know, but you can't tell anyone, the master, Mira, my team, no one, not even slip ups of the tongue. Agree?"

Levy thought, man it must be huge if I can't tell anyone, but I would do just about anything for my best friend, and I know she would do the same.

"I agree, but I would like to add something to this deal, if I may?" Looking at her friend and seeing Lucy nod her head, she continued "I want to stay in contact with you, should you decide to leave the guild, and I every now and a again, get to come for a visit, agree?"

Lucy thought about it and saw it wasn't a bad thing, and also this way, she could keep up with what is going on in the guild. Also if she need to, she could get help and so forth if something did go wrong, so she'd agree to Levy's terms. "Ok, Levy I agree with your extras conditions. Though you can't say his name out loud, but yes you know him. He is, well was in this guild, blond hair and was an s class mage with a very well know attitude around here."

Lucy heard a gasp at s class mage and saw that her friends eyes go huge, as she stutters out "hhhow….wwhen….Lucy you mean," and writes down the name Laxus, and sees Lucy nod her head again. While the girls were talking, they were being watched by a very worried lion, who then steps back into the shadows and reappeared in Lucy's apartment while he started to pace back and forth seething in anger, about how dare that dragon slayer touch his master, and bring her pain.
