Chapter 9:

~'~

Juvia was washing the dishes. Her tummy round and full with her baby inside. She was now on her fifth month and her nii-sama, Jellal, who was studying medicine, had told her that by now the baby's gender was identifiable. But then, she wanted it to be a surprise.

These past few months, her nii-sama was the only one she had conceded with this news. When she found out that she was pregnant she doesn't know what to do. She surely is scared.

Scared at what her daddy would do to her…

and to Jellal, for her daddy trusted him to protect his daughter..

Sometimes she contemplated that she should tell Gray about it, but every time she did make her shiver in fear.

And whenever she looks for him at the academy, he was not there. It seems that he already fled away. And that scared her more. What a mere eighteen like her could do?

She woke up late, threw up almost every time, and lately she found herself craving and craving for food. She clearly remembered her conversation with Jellal. And from before it surprised her that he loses his cool.

...

They were eating their dinner that time, the silence suffocated her, and the clink and clank of the utensils seemed to irritate her, that's when he speak

"You're pregnant" he bluntly stated. No intonation, no doubtfulness, no it was not a question, because, simply he knew.

She looked like someone had thrown her ice-cold water. Her eyes wide, her body started to feel cold, her heart hammered in her chest, and she didn't know how to respond to him.

How could she?

"Jellal-nii—" before she finished he cuts her off. Of course he would know he would be a doctor someday.

"Who?" he silently asked his voice was laced with fury, his grip on his utensils tightened, and his knuckles were now turning white. His eyes were darkening and for the first time, Juvia felt scared for her life.

She had never seen her nii-sama this mad. He never gets mad.

When he was sure that he would not get an answer, "Is it that Fullbuster?" his voice still low, he spat her ex's name like it's the most disgusting thing.

That's when tears started to fall and her shoulder shook uncontrollably, she shamelessly cried loud.

He stood up so fast, that his chair sent tumbling. He quickly went to the kitchen and ransacked the place looking for something.

Juvia hurriedly followed him and gasped when she saw him holding a knife.

"Move." he commanded.

She shook her head, still trapping him from where he stands.

"Get away Juvia, I swear to God! I swear I'll kill him!" His shoulders shook from fury and rage. His mind was set into one thing. That was to kill that asshole.

"N-no.!" Juvia's tears cascaded down her cheeks like waterfall. She couldn't let her nii-sama kill Gray. She didn't want Gray to die. She didn't want her nii-sama to turn into a murderer.
