Chapter 16

HIRO OWNS FAIRY TAIL

Lucy's pov
"Gajeel come on."I say trying to make him hurry up.Its been 3months since I found out I was pregnant and told Gajeel,I haven't been to the guild in the past month,so no body but who I told knows about my baby.
"Hold up Lucy I'll be there in a second."He replied and hung up the phone.I sighed as Gajeel hung up,I was really stressed about tomorrow,Mira has a surprise for me and I don't know what it is.Its probably some gifts for the baby she gives me things practically every day.And I asked Gajeel to come over because I was feeling lonely.I hadn't seen him all day and I already miss him too much.A few minutes later,I heard a knock on the door I got up too quickly and almost fell over,I had to stop for a second,but it seemed it took forever for me to calm down and Gajeel decided to let himself in.
"Lucy are you ok?"He asked walking over to me.
"Yeah I'm ok."I said looking up at him,I stared into his eyes and before I knew it we were locked in a passionate kiss.
"Uhhh Lucy I need to give this to you."He said and handed me a box.
"What is it?"I asked.
"I don't know,Mira asked me to give it to you before she left on a job,she said she was going to give it to you tomorrow,but had to leave for her job today."He explained.
"Oh."I said.
"Lucy?"he asked.
"Yeah?"I questioned back.
"I uh need to ask you something something else, too."He said,rummaging through his pocket,he found what he wanted and pulled out a small leather box and got down on one knee.
"Lucy Heartfillia the love of my life,the most important thing in the world to me,will you marry me?"he asked.I started to tear up I was so happy he asked me and in the next few seconds, I was crying.
"Yes."I whispered.He stood up and I kissed him happily,this was the greatest day of my life,little did I know that would soon change.

*1 hour later*

"Lucy."Gajeel whispered into my ear.
"Yes?"I whispered back, still tired.
"I...need to tell you something."he said.
"Hold on a sec."I was still waking up from a nap I had taken,carrying a baby is more exhausting than it seems.
"Ok go ahead."I said a minute later.
"Well,I'm going on a job."he said.
"Oh what for?"I asked.
"For money so we can live together in a new house with our little baby."He said rubbing my little baby bump I had on my stomach.
"Ok that's fine."I said.
"Well the job is offering 1,000,000 jewels."He explained which shocked me very much to say the least.
"That's great!"I exclaimed.
"Yeah but I might be gone for as long as a month."he said.
"A-a month?"I was crestfallen.
"Yeah and I'm leaving tomorrow."
"You're leaving tomorrow?"I said tearing up.
"Luce please don't cry."He pleaded.
"What do you expect me to be happy that my fiancé is going in a job and leaving me for a month while I'm currently pregnant?"I yelled at him,"how do you think I should feel,huh.YOU DONT KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE!"I yelled at him,sobbing.I ran out of the living room and locked my self in my bedroom.
"Lucy I'm sorry but if I don't do this we can't survive."He countered.
"That doesn't change anything!"I yelled through gritted teeth.
"I'm-I'm sorry Lucy but I have to go pack up,trust me I don't want to leave as much as you don't want me to,but I need to do this,for our family."He said from the opposite side of the door.I didn't reply,I was too upset.I walked over to my door unlocked it and hugged Gajeel who was still standing there.
"I know you have to go."I said sniffling,"But promise you'll come home safe."I said feeling fresh tears on my cheeks.
"Lucy..."
"PROMISE ME!!"I pleaded breaking down in sobs once again.
"Ok,I promise."He said finally.
"Now you can't break that promise."I said locking him in a kiss.I broke away and let him leave,he need to start packing after all,it was 11:00 already.Letting him leave was the hardest thing I've EVER had to do.
