Chapter 46

Lucys' pov

"We need to talk" is all that I say to him when I call him. A million thoughts are racing through my mind now. About 5 minutes passed since I ended the call and I heard him scrambling at the door. His frantic eyes searched for me. They land on me and he speedwalks over to me and embraces me in his arms without saying anything. By now I am shaking and full on sobbing. Clinging onto him like he's my lifeline. Laxus just stays quiet and rubs soothing circles on my back. "Take all the time you need baby" his kindness towards me almost has me sobbing again. However I listen to his steady heartbeat in an effort to calm myself down.

It seems to be working. I walk over to the oven and take out the bread that I had been making. Then I proceed to put a piece of it in this cute mini oven and once he cuts into the bread it will say "hi daddy, it's me. I'm in mommy right now and will meet you soon". I took this with me back to the living room where I told him to wait for me. "Open the door on it" he complies with what I say to do and the bread pops out of the oven as if it were in a toaster.

He cuts it and then whispers so quietly that I almost don't hear it "is it true?" I nod my head in confirmation slowly. "I even went to the doctor today just to be sure" I add in. Neither of us say anything until he breaks the silence by asking "what do you plan to do with the baby?" "Well I am keeping the baby with or without your support. I know that none of this was planned but-" he cuts me off with "are you insane? You have your whole life ahead of you and you're just ready to throw it all away over some baby. I won't let you do this to yourself."

I try to stay calm the best I can "its my body so I can do what I want. Did not ask for your approval on any of it. Also my mind is already made up so there's no changing that." He turns his back to me and says "you can do what you want but I want no part of it" and with that he hands me a check and heads for the door to go god knows where. The door slams shut before I can even respond to what he said. Quickly I head upstairs to pack my bags and leave before he gets back.

I was about to call Levy to see if she could possibly come and pick me up but without intending to, I fell asleep on my bed. My clothes are neatly packed in the suitcases ready to go. I slept hard and went to check to see what time it is on my phone and see that it's 12:40 am. Gathering all my stuff I race to the front door. Right before I reach it I hear some shuffling in the entryway. On further inspection the person turns out to be Laxus. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to see him again after last night.

Something seems off about him. He keeps on fumbling and now I can smell that he reeks of alcohol. Sighing I go to the kitchen to get him some water and pills to deal with headaches that may occur from having a hangover. By the time I get back he is fast asleep on the couch. "Laxus, you need to take these please, it will help to prevent the pain" his eyes slowly open and he sits up with some assistance from me in order to take them. I set the glass on the coffee table and ease his head back down on the pillow making sure that he doesn't bump his head or anything.

I go to stand up from where I'm perched on the edge of the sofa but one simple word from him has me complying "stay" and he grasps my hands in his. I close my eyes and weigh the possible outcomes of each option. I'm so mentally and physically tired that tonight I just decided to give in. I'll be on my way in the morning. For now I can take advantage of his nice warm body. So I curl up like a cat against him. I'm practically on top of him since he takes up most of the room here. I'll probably just go back to my own place since I still kept it all this time. With that thought I let sleep overtake me.

Will she be going back?

How will Laxus act in the morning?
