Chapter 48

*Laxus pov*

For the past 3 hours Lucy has been cleaning and cooking like a maniac. "Babe, they are going to love you and not everything has to be perfect" that's my attempt to reassure her. I try to grab her but she wriggles out of my grasp. "Everything. Has. To. Be. Perfect" and with each word she takes a step closer to me, broom in hand. "Ok geez, sometimes I really do wonder about you" I sort of mutter under my breath. She might have heard what I said with how she reacted "what did you say about me?" She spins around to question me. "Nothing, I swear?" I squeak out which is extremely embarrassing. I even put my hands in front of me in a surrendering position. We both stop and look at each other and just start bursting out laughing.

I'm not even sure what came over us. This is what I love most about us. That we can go from fighting to laughing in mere seconds, it's just so like us. The timer for the oven goes off and she jumps up and pulls this heavenly smelling upside down cake on top of the stove. Quickly I reach my hand out but not quick enough since she hits me with the spatula on the arm. It stings slightly but isn't too bad. Even so, I leave it alone for now. I'm not even sure how she does it but in a matter of hours she transforms the whole space.

Now it's finally ready for our families to arrive. Lucy sits down just as the doorbell rings. I stop her from getting up to answer it since she needs to rest for both herself and the baby. I go and get the door and on the other side of it is her parents. "Wheres my daughter?" her mother demands and pushes past me through the half open door, her father trailing behind her mom like the loyal companion he is. "Nice to see you too" I grumbled and shut the door behind them.

Not so long after my mom bounds up to the front door. "Sorry I am late. I was trying to drag your father away from work." I look over and she has a death grip on the poor guy known as my father. I step aside and let them in too. Lucy bends over to take that amazing smelling Lasagna out of the oven. She hands me the salad bowl and I place it on the table so that they can serve themselves along with the breadsticks and the soup. Once everything is in place I pull out a seat for Lucy to sit in and take the seat directly beside her. I lace my fingers through hers in an attempt to support her.

I give her time to prepare to say what she needs to say. I look at Lucy and let her know that I could tell them but she simply just shakes her head. "Laxus and I haven't been too careful lately when we um- you know" her face is beet red but is able to continue on anyway. "Which caused me to become pregnant and I confirmed it with the doctor. We have decided to keep the baby. We would love for you to be in the baby's life but we understand if you don't want to." As soon as she's done speaking chaos breaks out all around us. My mother manages to calm everyone down. She seems to be the only one not freaking out.

"My daughter" my mom runs past me and squeezes the life out of Lucy, catching her by surprise. "Mom, please don't kill the love of my life and the mother of our unborn child" I intervene. Slowly she releases Lucy who gasps for air and looks a little bit flushes, "oh dear, I'm so sorry!" She whips out a hand held fan and proceeds to frantically try to cool her down, Lucy waves her off. Sometimes my mother is a bit too extra, even for me who lived with her for twenty years of my life. Which is really saying something. 

Wow, a baby such a huge change for them!!

How are they going to deal with the baby?
