Chapter 18: July First

Lucy P.O.V

"MOMMY~!"

I groaned and got of bed as Lira shouted my name. "I'm coming sweetie." I walked down the hall with my hand placed on my belly. In about a week, Natsume will be born.

As I entered the kitchen, I saw Lira full of syrup and milk on her cloths. She had bits of egg in her hair and flour.

"Lira, what did you do?" I asked trying to get the egg out her hair. "I was making you Birthday Breakfast!"

I sighed and weakly smiled.

"It's on the table!"

I looked over to the table and saw burnt waffles and uncooked yoke. "T-That looks good..."

"Really?! I worked hard!" She yelled with excitement. "Thank you Lira, but I think I'll cook the rest."

"Rest? I already did everything!"

"I know, but I don't think this amazing food is right for your little brother."

She then gasped and yelled,"WHAT?! I almost killed him?!"

I sweat dropped and said,"No, mommy just can't eat that. It'll make her sick..."

She tucked out her lower lip out and looked at the table,"Do I have to throw it away?" I nodded. "Okay..." she weakly said while cleaning the table.

I went to the kitchen to start on breakfast. "Lira."

"Yes mommy?"

"Where's your dad?"

"Daddy? Oh! He told me not to tell you."

"Why?"

"He said it's our secret!"

Our secret? He's been leaving like that ever since he said he saw Lisanna... Is he-NO! Stop Lucy. No negative thoughts!

I sighed as I took the eggs out of the refrigerator.

I feel awful...am I depressed? It's as if in these passed 8 months, everything's been falling apart...I rarely see Natsu because he's always working, I'm having a baby soon and I'm tired, but Lira's been sapping away at my energy...It's hard...

While reaching to get the pan, I felt water run down my leg. Damn! He's coming!

"Lira, get me the phone quick!" She then ran to get the house phone and came back.

"Mommy...what's wrong?"

"Your brother's coming!"

"Yay!!!" She began to hop around until she looked at the floor. "Mommy, why is there weird looking water on the floor?"

I dialed 911. "Oh that? That's just your brother saying he's ready to come out..."

"911, where's your emergency?"

"Hi, my water just broke and I don't have anyway of getting to the hospital."

"Stay calm ma'am. Help is on the way."

"Thank you."

I quickly sat down on the sofa and rubbed my belly in pain. I can't believe I'm doing this again...

At moments I would scream and it would scare Lira.

"Mommy...are you okay...?" She asked with tears in her eyes.

"Ye-yeah. uhg! Just...please call your dad!"

"Okay!"

"You know what his number is, right?"
