Greets Z

Chapter 6

Her heart raced and she trembled, feeling the nervousness and fear deep in her bones. Lucy swallowed slightly while Mira and Michelle sat in front of her and looked at her waiting. She had asked them to talk in confidence and so they were in Levy's apartment because here you could be sure that the walls had no ears.

She kneaded her hands, swallowed again. Carefully she lifted the gaze from her hands and looked first at her sister and then at her cousin. She hoped the two would help her. For without the help of both she would not be able to do all this. Sure, she had the support of Natsu's parents, but that wasn't enough. Both Michelle and Mirajane could run to their parents and rat her out. And that would be her downfall.

"So? What do you want to tell us?" Michelle asked and the bright, clear blue eyes of her big sister looked at her waiting. Lucy swallowed and her gaze scurried to Mira, who took only a sip of her tea and didn't say a word. She waited. Her heartbeat accelerated a little and she closed her eyes. She wanted to keep the twins. She wanted to raise them, give them a good life. Free from constraints and pressure from the family. Tears formed in her eyes and ran down her cheeks as she looked up and smiled slightly.

"I know ... you don't like Natsu", she said quietly and a laughing snort escaped Michelle's lips.

"That is still softly said. He is not good for you", replied the older one and crossed her arms under her opulent breasts, she looked unusually hard. She had contracted her eyebrows and a long fold was pulled over her otherwise so smooth forehead. Lucy pressed her lips together and for a moment doubts rolled up in her. Then Mira put the cup down.

"Are you pregnant from him," she asked. Her voice was calm and controlled, free of any feelings. Lucy widened her eyes and Michelle also stared at Mira with big eyes. Silence lay over the room and the blonde student swallowed, then she nodded timidly.

"From where..."

"I noticed it in your behavior. And your words about Natsu were clear," Mira said quietly and smiled gently. A tremor ran through Lucy and her eyes started burning again. Her throat tightened and her lower lip trembled.

"I...I want to keep them," she brought out and swallowed, taking a trembling breath. Mira looked at her waiting while Michelle looked frightened from one to the other.

"Does Natsu know?"

"No, not yet, but his parents do. They have already promised me their support," she whispered quietly and Mira nodded slightly again.

"How long has it been?"

"I'm in the seventh week," she said quietly and then pulled out a photo from the initial examination and pushed it over the glass table. Mirajane leaned forward without a word, grabbed it and looked at the photo. Then she smiled, stroked her fingertips over the life that was beginning and nodded. She put the picture back on the low glass table and nodded again.

"All right ... but you have to tell Natsu that is important," she said. Lucy's eyes widened and then tears ran down her cheeks. Michelle looked stunned between Lucy and her cousin Mira.

"Hold on, wait a minute. You just accept that, Mira? Are you serious?"

"Yes."

"Why? I don't want my sweet little sister giving birth to such an idiot's children. She deserves something far better," Michelle exclaimed, and anger stood in her usually so gentle traits. Lucy flinched slightly and swallowed, driving over her cheeks.

"Mi-nee-chan", Lucy began carefully, but was interrupted.

"No! You shut up now, Lucy! You are 17! How will you raise children? How do you want to finish school? You do not want to tell me that you want to stay alone voluntarily? Natsu is with Lisanna. He has a girlfriend", her sister kept talking herself into rage, raging with anger. She couldn't understand how her sweet sister just threw away her whole life.

"Michelle!"

"No Mira! She throws her life away!"

"I ...", Lucy began and her heart beat loudly and painfully against her ribs. She bit her lower lip and her fingers dug into the soft wool dress she was wearing. She pulled her shoulders slightly up, then tightened them. Her hands lay protectively over her abdomen.

"Michelle ... I understand your concern, but I will bear the twins. Whether you want to help me or not. I am not alone. His parents, my friends and also Mira stand by me," she said, and in the brown soul mirrors there was a determination that made Michelle pause. There was no hesitation in her sister's voice. She swallowed easily, then sighing she lowered her gaze. Again silence lay over the living room. Michelle didn't want to lose her sister and she knew that this pregnancy would be anything but easy. She knew it because one thing was certain. The parents were not allowed to know anything about it. Both her father and mother would set heaven and hell in motion to have these children removed. Even when the three months were over.

She looked up and looked at her sister. Lucy had tears in her eyes and she saw the fear in her features, but she also saw the absolute determination to protect these children and raise them alone if necessary. Her heartbeat speeded up and then she lowered her eyes to the ultrasoundpicture, pulled it towards her and sighed. She would become an aunt. In absolute surrender Michelle raised her hands and smiled.

"All right, you idiot. I hadn't planned to be an aunt now, but ... your happiness is important to me. The main thing is that they have as little of this idiot as possible," she said, assuring her sister of her approval and support. Lucy's eyes widened, then absolute joy spread on her features. And that alone was enough for Michelle. She would protect her sister even if she had to get her parents out of the way.

one week later

She still hadn't managed to tell him. But she didn't know how to do that either. Honestly, how did you tell your best friend that you were pregnant from him? When he thought that you were still a virgin and especially when he was together with your own cousin? Lucy nibbled on her lower lip. She had proudly shown the photo to Igneel and Grandeeney and both were stunned. Igneel was happy to get two progenitors and Grandeeney was just finished. With the words: great, another two monsters in the family she had grabbed a 5 liter bottle of sake and drunk it. Lucy had been shocked and Igneel? He was about to cry for joy. That had been a sight for the gods. The great Oyabun of the Dragneel clan had cried of joy.

And today she had been invited to dinner at the Dragneels. She looked forward to it, even though she didn't know how Natsus' parents wanted to explain her presence. Next to Lisanna. Fortunately Natsu had still not noticed anything. Three weeks had passed since her initial examination and her mood swings and morning vomiting had not improved at all. Only Michelle and Mirajane knew about it in the meantime. They had been shocked, but were happy for her. Even if they weren't thrilled that Lucy didn't say a word and preferred to remain silent. But she didn't know how to tell him. He was always with Lisanna and it hurt her to see him like that.

She ran after them because Natsu had picked up both Lisanna and Lucy on his father's orders and her cousin giggled exaggeratedly in love as she hung on Natsu's arm. Lucy always felt a sharp sting in her heart. But she said nothing. What could she even say?

Then they arrived at the main entrance of the estate and his father's men bowed, dutifully greeting first Natsu and then Lisanna and then her. Lucy knew that the men didn't really like Lisanna. She saw it at them. But that was something that was mutual. Lisanna detested the yakuza and she only endured her presence because she loved Natsu. That was clear to everyone. Lucy smiled politely and nodded as she followed to the front door in a simple knee-length black dress, jacket and knee-high boots and thick socks.

Lucy sat down on the wooden floor in the entrance area, took off her boots and was immediately handed slippers by Metalicana. He smiled grimly at her and she thanked him quietly. Then she followed them through the long hallway that led past a courtyard. The sliding doors were closed, but she saw the good care Acnologia had given to this house and small gardens. Everything was polished to a high gloss and the dark wood shimmered slightly. Old lamps shimmered and gave everything a golden shine. Then they stepped into a large room.

The floor was covered with tatami mats. Elegant old lanterns hung on short chains from the roof braces and bathed everything in a golden, romantic light. On the left side stood an old samurai armour and a weapon stand on which an old, noble katana, a wakizashi and a long dagger rested. Lucy's gaze glided over the dark brown lacquered tables, which had been arranged in a U-shape. The individual tables were two metres long and one metre wide.

At the head she saw five tables standing and in the room 12 tables were stretched down. Lucy blinked with big eyes as she saw the masses of men dressed in black. Everyone looked bloody creepy. Many had scars on their faces and all were looking at the new arrivals. She chewed on her lower lip. Was that the whole clan? She swallowed slightly and looked at Natsu. Nervousness surged up in her. The tables were richly set with all sorts of delicacies and the company was already quite cheerful. They hadn't started eating yet, but you could see that the mood was relaxed.

Igneel and his wife sat in the middle at the head of the room, the armour and weapons directly behind them. To the left of Grandeeney sat Juvia, Wendy and a boy with dark hair, who seemed a bit tense and stared strained at the polished wood. Next to him was another square and Lucy frowned. To Igneel's right, Cobra was sitting with an elegantly dressed young woman wearing a wedding kimono. She smiled in love. Next to Cobra there were two places available. Natsu let herself fall into the place next to the unknown one and Lisanna was about to sit next to him, but Igneel interrupted her.

"Lisanna, your seat is next to Romeo, Wendy's friend," silence spread throughout the room and everyone stared at the head, who was carrying a bowl of sake to his lips. Lucy's eyes widened. Had he gone completely mad? Shouldn't she be sitting there? Her heartbeat accelerated and her cousin straightened up. She frowned confused and Acnologia pushed her in the right direction. She distorted her face, but didn't say a word. Metalicana took Lucy by the elbow and just placed her next to Natsu. Burning redness lay on her cheeks and you would have heard a pin fall. Natsu was also confused and looked from Lucy to his father.

"Uh... Too-sama," he said and sounded amazingly polite. But no wonder either. Lucy understood that this was his brother's wedding dinner that she had understood the second she saw the wedding kimono. And swallowed. Had Igneel just ranked her above Lisanna? The girl Natsu was with? Her throat tightened. How was she supposed to explain that?

"Yes?"

"Why are you putting my girlfriend on the other side of the table?" he asked, confused. Everyone else was also confused. Igneel was an absolutely admired man and everyone in the clan loved him, but sometimes some could not quite follow his actions in mind. He drank the sake, put the bowl down, leaned forward relaxed and grinned.

"Lucy stands higher in rank. After all, she's pregnant from you, you foolish son," he said and you could only tell thanks to the sound of his voice, that he had clearly already had more intus than he should. Lucys eyes widend and her breathing stopped. Was he fucking serious? It was as if her heart had stopped for a moment and now it resumed its work twice as fast. She swallowed lightly and cramped. Natsus head flew around to her and he stared at her with widened eyes. Grandeeney growled, but did nothing else to reprimand her husband or refute his words. Here before all eyes she would never do that.

"Luce," he asked confusedly and she stared at him. Everything around her began to spin and she couldn't breathe.

"Tell me ... that this is a joke," Natsu said, laughing uncertainly and swallowing. He became pale and pulled his brows together. All the yakuza members listened to them and they were all perplexed. Lucy felt the burning in her eyes and turned away with burning cheeks as the first tears glided down her cheeks. Inside she cursed herself as she took a rattling breath. Natsu's eyes became even bigger as he understood. When he recognized the lie.

"Lucy," he growled and stood up jerkily, staring down at her. She had lied to him! His body trembled with suppressed anger.

"You lied to me," he hissed angrily and she trembled to raise her eyes. Raging fear surged in her, reaching icy for her heart and when she saw the suppressed anger in his gaze. She pressed her lips tightly together. Then she took a trembling breath and rose staggering. She retreated from him, but was grabbed from behind and raised her gaze, almost twisted. Who stopped her? Atlas looked down at her with a smile.

"You shouldn't run away," he said quietly and she clenched her hands to fists. She gritted her teeth tightly and tore herself away from the redhead. Then her gaze fixed on Natsu. She wouldn't make a scene here. She was too proud for that. Her heartbeat raced, Natsu approached her, raised his hand and slapped her. It clapped loudly and her head flew to the side. Shocked, she opened her eyes and held her burning right cheek.

"You lied to me, Lucy Heartfilia," he growled angrily. She stared at him and anger surged up into her. She pulled her shoulders up, then took a step forward and rammed her knee between his legs. All the men in the room flinched. He gasped and sank to his knees, keeping his pace.

"If you ever hit me again, Natsu Dragneel, Igneel Dragneel's second son, believe me you won't find mercy," she hissed angrily. Then her angry gaze turned to Igneel and growled at him viciously. He pulled up both eyebrows.

"And you!" she hissed, "I thought we had a deal? That I'd tell him when the OCCASION IS FAVOURABLE? BUT NO! YOU DRINK ONE OVER YOUR THIRST AND TALK IT OUT IN FRONT OF YOUR WHOLE CLAN? I' M HAVING ENOUGH! I'M GOING," she roared and yelled at a yakuza boss in front of the assembled crew. She was so angry, had eaten all her worries into her for so long, that now everything burst out. If these men thought she was afraid of Igneel just because he was the head of a yakuza clan, they were wrong. Her father was much worse and far more ruthless. She whirled around staring at Metalicana and Atlas.

"Out of the way," she hissed and the two men were smart enough to immediately avoid a pregnant, angry woman. She rushed out of the room, turned left and stomped away furiously.

"Goddamn men! Brainless monkey asses! If only one of them steps under my fucking eyes again, I'll tear you all to pieces! ALL OF THEM, DO YOU HEAR? THEN YOU LEARN YOU TO KNOW ME FROM ANOTHER SIDE, YOUR SOAPED CAPSPSPATS", she was getting louder and louder shouting herself into rage. She was angry yes, but there was also a good portion of pregnancy hormones in it. But still. What occurred to him to slap her? Sure, she had lied to him, but she had been waiting for the right moment all along. Tears ran down her face. Then she took a deep breath, closed her eyes and tried to calm down, sat down in the entrance area and put on her boots. She would go home. Natsu could be stolen from her in the near future.

"Wow... Natsu, are you stupid or something?" Metalicana asked and laughed darkly. He stood there and all the yakuza members had listened to Lucys roar with big eyes. They all knew her since Natsu first brought her along and they all liked her back then. She had always been open and friendly. In the beginning she had been afraid of the creepy men in black, the scars and the weapons, but she had lost this fear quite fast. The salmon haired one straightened up. His crotch hurt like hell and he distorted his face into a grimace. He was shocked and hurt. She had lied to him! She had lied to him for two months and had not deemed it necessary to tell him the truth. The betrayal of this lie burned like fire in his heart and he felt the senseless urge to destroy something. When Metalicana asked him, he angrily raised his gaze.

"Please what?"

"I asked if you were stupid."

"No."

"Then why do you let such a awesome girl slip away?" asked Weisslogia and Natsu fixed his gaze on the man. He was tall, well trained and had shoulder-length white blonde hair. Scars were running over the dark skin. He seemed more relaxed than most of the others here. Natsu crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"She lied to me! She said that we weren't ... you know. And then my father knows before me that she is pregnant? She hasn't said a word for two fucking months," he hissed and you could hear that his pride and ego were clearly scratched. But that didn't really interest anyone here.

"Don't be such a pussy. She was probably afraid. Think about how illegitimate children are treated in our society," Cobra said and snorted. He reached for the hand of Kinana, who smiled radiantly and stroked the slight bulge of her belly. Natsu growled angrily.

"She betrayed me!"

"You could have just drunk less, too."

"My good is the junior dull-minded," said Acnologia and snorted. Igneel laughed quietly. He reached for the sack cup, but Grandeeney growled so deeply and angrily that he swallowed and quickly pulled his hand back.

"Lucy loves you, just by the way," Grandeeney said and sighed annoyed.

" Besides ... your great-aunt Porlyusica has her in treatment and said that she asked her not to tell anyone so that her father wouldn't force her to have an abortion. She asked for it to be kept secret until it was no longer possible. Natsu ... you know what Jude Heartfilia is like. He would kick her out of the house just because it's your brood she volunteers," his mother said dryly, took a cup of green tea and drank it unmoved without cooling it. She was so direct and honest that the others looked at her wordlessly in the room. The faces of all the members reflected anger and horror.

"Ab... abortion?" Natsu asked, and he felt like his heart was pausing for a moment. He swallowed. She wanted his children? His heartbeat speeded up and he bit his lower lip. She had said she had been waiting for the right moment. And when would that have been? Then Lisanna rose and looked at Natsu with big eyes. And Natsu it hit him. He had never really given Lucy the chance, even if he had, because Lisanna had always been near him. And now he understood it. She had asked him for forgiveness in tears. She had cried when she asked him for forgiveness and had said that she couldn't tell him. Fear was building up in him. He would lose her. His heart raced and icy fear grabbed it, he felt the lump in his throat and swallowed hard. And he became aware of something. He loved her. He loved Lucy and didn't want her to leave her. He swallowed and felt shame blush on his cheeks as he jumped up. He had to tell her that. Absolutely!

"Start without me," he exclaimed and sprinted down the hall.

"Finally", Grandeeney growled and took another sip of the hot tea. Then she snapped her fingers.

"Acnologia."

"Anego-sama," he said and bowed. She smiled cool and condescending and pointed towards Lisanna.

"Take the garbage away," she said and took another sip of tea. Lisanna ripped open her eyes in panic, "but keep the garbage alive."

"Yes," he said and a cold smile lay on his lips as he walked towards Lisanna. She swallowed panically and retreated. But Acnologia did not let himself be stopped. He grabbed her by the upper arm and mercilessly dragged the thin girl out of the room, down the hall and to the entrance. Natsu just put on his shoes and cursed about annoying leather shoes. Apparently he liked his jumper boots better.

"You don't have to show up here again, Lisanna Strauss," Acnologia said, and the narrow white-haired one stared stunned at the man who looked back emotionlessly. Natsu didn't even care. He jumped up and ran out. While running, he pulled out his cell phone and called Gajeel, whom he had saved on speed dial. He wouldn't call Lucy now because she wouldn't answer anyway. She was too angry at him. His heart clenched as he accelerated his steps and ran the way to the temple. He wanted to catch her up, intercept her so she wouldn't do anything stupid like talking to her father. After a short tune it clicked on the line.

"Damn fucker what do ya want?", Gajeel growled irritatedly. Natsu grinned broadly. Obviously he had just disturbed him during sex with Levy. Or while sleeping, but he didn't sound tired, so it was sex.

"I'm going to be a father," Natsu exclaimed, and for a moment there was silence at the other end of the line.

"Yeah, we know, you bird", it came untouched by Gajeel and Natsu growled. Gajeel and Levy had known it before him? Who knew it before him too? The whole fucking world? That made him angry, but somehow it showed that Lucy was afraid to tell him and that hurt.

"Did she call ya? She just went off after threatening my father and the whole clan," he explained and Gajeel laughed.

"I am telling ya. Like a rabbit on drugs, the woman. No, she did not call here", Gajeel said and sounded serious.

"She's in her second month, so move yer ass, all right? I'll finally become a godfather," came the answer, "and if something happens to one of them, I'll rip ya ass open up to ya ears, understood?"

And Gajeel hung up with that. Natsu closed the phone and let it slide into his trouser pocket. He put another speed in, came around a street corner and saw her. His Lucy! He made a jump, wrapped his arms around her and pulled her away from the street. She screamed in horror and he crashed against a house wall in his back. His heart pounded against his ribs as she kicked him, or at least tried.

"Wow, keep calm, Luce," Natsu said laughing and held her tight. Not too hard, but so she couldn't escape from him. She paused immediately when she recognized him.

"Natsu? What... what should that?" she asked and he heard how irritated she was. That made him grin and he pulled her a little tighter, stroked with the tip of his nose along her neck and then bit her in the ear.

"I have realized what is more important to me," he then growled darkly, turned her over in his arms so that she could look at him and had to and grinned at her. She growled and glared at him. She was smaller than him and he held her arms. She couldn't beat him that way. Another growl fled her full lips. He smiled down at her. His throat was tightened, his heart beating up to his neck. He felt insecurity and heat rising into his cheeks. But he would do this now. He didn't want to waste another second.

"Luce ... I ... I am sorry. It went through with me. Okay? But ... doesn't want ya to be gone. I want ya to stay with me," he said and his words were honest, she saw it in his eyes and stared at him, swallowed and tears formed in her eyes. At the sight of her tears his stomach contracted.

"Is ... is this a joke? First you hit me and now suddenly it occurs to you that you do want me", she asked and her lower lip trembled. He grinned broadly and bent down a bit.

"I ... Luce I love ya. To be honest, I was just too scared to say that," he confessed and his heart hammered loudly and so fast as if he had run a marathon. Her eyes widened and she stared at him with big eyes. Her heart raced and her thoughts stopped. Only tears ran down her cheeks and he swallowed slightly, could feel her clinging to him. He pulled his eyebrows together.

"Hey, don't cry."

"But ... ", she began and sniffed. He laughed quietly, loosened one arm and then stroked her tears with his right thumb.

"May I take that as yes?"

"What? I ... I ... "

"Do ya love me, Luce?" he asked and was so close to her face with his that her nose tips almost touched. She stared at him and sniffed again. Then she leaned against him, stood on her toes.

"I love you, Natsu" she whispered and he passed the few inches and kissed her. He released the clasp and wrapped his arms around her waist as she wrapped hers around his neck and pressed herself against him. She felt so happy. Her heart was racing and she knew everything was going to be fine. Absolutely everything.
