Far From Comfort

36. Again...?

~Juvia's PoV~

"I've dropped so many hints Juvia but he's just so clueless." Lucy complained while sitting opposite me. "I even tried the picnic thing we agreed on but it failed miserably."

I sighed. "What happened?"

"Well I was upfront about it, like you said. Well I tried to be. Turns out I took too long and Natsu spotted Erza who was eavesdropping on our conversation."

I looked over at Erza, who was sat beside the blonde. "What?? I couldn't afford to miss it!"

Meredy, who was sitting next to me and opposite Erza, giggled at the red head's determination. "It's okay Lucy, I'm positive he'll eventually come around."

Lucy rested her forehead onto the table and sighed. "Eventually..."

"What about you Meredy?" Erza changed the subject. "Jellal told me that you and Lyon have been dating for a while now."

Meredy nodded. "After the double date three weeks ago, Lyon and I started meeting more often and we've now been dating for two weeks."

The two continued chatting as I heard Lucy groan to herself. It had been 3 weeks since we had that double date and I gave her advice, which means she has been trying to get Natsu's attention ever since.

I slightly laughed at her expression, that reminded me of myself five years ago. I've changed quite a lot haven't I-

Hmph.

A sudden sort of dizziness hit me out of nowhere and interrupted my thoughts. Without hesitation I bolted up from my seat and sprinted towards the guild's restrooms.

I heard the three girls asking what was wrong, but had I stayed a second longer and the sight wouldn't have been pretty.

I pushed the door open, and luckily no one was inside. I ran into one of the stalls and leaned over the toilet, not having time to close the door behind me.

The dizziness got stronger and I couldn't help myself from vomiting inside the toilet.

I heard the door open and a few footsteps rapidly coming in. "Juvia?" I heard Erza call out behind me. "Are you okay?"

I looked up and behind me and slightly shook my head. "I feel awful."

She looked at me empathetically and stepped into the stall, holding my hair away from my face and tying it up. I sat on the floor of the bathroom and leaned my back against the stall wall.

"Well I think I know what that means." I sighed to myself. Erza looked down at me confused and I saw the also confused expression of the other two girls outside the stall.

"What do you mean?" Meredy questioned.

"I think... I think I might be pregnant." I placed my hand on my stomach.

Lucy nodded and took out her Virgo key. Out came the pinkette maid, who bowed at the blonde. "Is it punishment time princess?"

Lucy shook her head. "Virgo I need you to go to the closest pharmacy and get me a pregnancy test. Is that okay?" Her tone urgent and serious.

Virgo nodded and disappeared into the ground, only to appear back a few seconds later with a small cardboard box.

She handed it to Lucy and bowed, right before disappearing.

Lucy handed the test to Erza, who handed it to me. "We'll wait out here."

She stepped out of the stall, closing the door behind her. After a few minutes, I walked out of the stall holding the test in my hand. "It says I have to wait a few minutes for the results."

The girls nodded and Erza put her arm around my shoulders. "It's okay. We're here for you every step of the way."

I nodded and smiled at them. "Thank you."

After a few minutes, I had given Meredy the test. I was too nervous to look. "Juvia the result is there." She said, wondering if she could tell me or not.

I nodded at her and the three of us turned our attention to Meredy. "I'm ready."

"Juvia... You're going to be a mom."
