Mother At 18 (Gruvia)

Chapter 25

Juvia's POV...

I opened my eyes, expecting to see Gray, only to find a pillow beside me. I raised my head up and he was not with me here in the bed anymore. I sighed.

Maybe he went downstairs, cooking?

A smile formed in my face. He's doing that all the time so...maybe he's there? I went in the bathroom to prepare and after that I went downstairs with a smile. I was about to enter the dining room when I bumped into Gray in the doorway. He's wearing a coat, like he's going to his company.

"Good morning Gray-sama, have you eaten your breakfast already?" I asked.

I was hoping for him to say no but my heart fell when he said otherwise.

"I already did. I'm sorry but I have to go now, Juvia." He said.

"Oh...okay." I said and smiled at him.

I was expecting him to kiss me on the forehead like he always do but he just walked past me and left. I was stunned in my place as I stare at the place where he left.

'What happened?' I asked myself.

Maybe he's just really in a hurry.

But he still managed to eat breakfast with me before, even if he's in a hurry.

It's just single breakfast, Juvia. You could just let it pass. Tomorrow for sure he'll be with you and everything will be normal. I sighed as I ate my breakfast.

I was watching T.V when my phone rang. I checked the caller and it was Helena, my doctor. I answered the call, puzzled.

[Good morning Mrs. Fullbuster, I just want to remind you for our check up this afternoon at 2:00 p.m]

"Oh, I almost forgot. Thanks for reminding me."

[No worries. I have reminded Mr. Fullbuster as well about this and I'm hoping you two could attend together later.]

"Don't worry, we will be. Thanks again, Doctor Helena."

[You're welcome.]

Then the call ended. I smiled. Finally I could see him! I miss him already though I have seen him this morning. I still miss him...Maybe I've been attached too much to him. I then decided to contact him but he was not answering. I sighed. It's very unusual. Before, he would answer my calls even if he's busy but now...Maybe he's really that busy. I just decided to text him about my check-up later. I didn't expected for a reply anymore because he didn't answered my calls so why bother? I know he can't reply. I checked the time and I still have enough time to prepare.

I was contacting Gray while waiting for him to pick me up in here. It's already 12:30 and I'm still waiting for him. I sighed. It was 1:00 already when I decided to just grab a taxi and texted him.

...

"Good afternoon Mrs. Fullbuster." Doctor Helena welcomed me as I entered her office.

"Good afternoon Doctor Helena." I said.

"So...you're all alone? Where's Mr. Fullbuster?" Doctor Helena asked.

"He's at work. I can't contact him. Maybe he's that busy..." I said as I look down.

Doctor Helena comforted me.

"Don't worry about it anymore. We can do it without him. You can just inform him about it since he's your husband." She said and smiled.

I smiled back. I changed my clothes into a hospital gown and laid down on the bed. She applied something that is gel-like to my belly. She then started doing the process. After the session, I went home already, still upset that Gray was not with me. I sighed as I entered our room and sat down on our bed. I checked my phone if he called or even texted but there was none.

What is happening to you Gray?

I sighed once again and changed my clothes.

...

I'm currently waiting for him here in the living room. It's already midnight but he's not yet home. My eyelids are getting heavier every moment that passes by. I yawned for the hundredth time, and my eyes started watering because I'm already drowsy. I unconciously closed my eyes and was about to be consumed by drowsiness when the sound of the door being opened, woke me up. I rubbed my eyes and stood up to welcome him but to my surprise, he was already walking upstairs. I frowned. My heart clenched from what he did. I went upstairs--to our room--with confused mind. So many emotion exploding inside me.

"Gray..." I called him.

"Not now Juvia, I'm tired. Why are you still awake? You should be sleeping by now." He said, annoyed.

"Well I was just waiting for you to come home." I said.

"Did I told you to wait for me? I did not, right? Don't make me the reason for this stupidity." He said coldly.

Then suddenly, I exploded. My feelings exploded.

"What is wrong with you?! First you forgot to attend our session with Doctor Helena, Second, you're acting strangely to me. What did I do to you? What have I done?" I asked, tears are spilling out of my eyes.

Gray brushed his face using his hand in frustration. He gripped my arms tightly, hurting me. I winced in pain.

"Jeez...Would you please stop blabbering?! You're annoying the hell out of me! I've been busy all day in the company, okay?! You've been disturbing me with your calls! And about that stupid session, It's your obligation to attend those! You're the one who's pregnant here, not me! You're not ill to be assisted! You could walk on your own! Damn it!" He yelled at me then harshly pushed me.

I was thankful that the bed catched me. My tears continuously spilled down my face. Why is he acting this way to me? Did I do something wrong? What have I done? What happened to you Gray? He looked at me in annoyance then walked out of our room, slamming the door shut. I hugged myself while crying. I looked at my wedding ring and the ring made of vine.

What is just happening?
