LUCY P.O.V.
An angelic figure approached me in a beautiful golden garden with a white castle with golden trims in the distance. The figure resembled my mother.

"Mother," I called out to her.

"Lucy, it's nice seeing you. How have you been," she spoke to me with a soft voice as low as a whisper.

"It's nice seeing you as well. I'm okay, but am I.... dead?"

A tear ran down my cheek. Mother gently wiped it off. A light giggle escaped my mouth, because it tickled.

"No, it's not your time. Unfortunately, we don't have much time. You must head back."

"Mom, can I ask something before I go back?", I asked hoping she would accept.

She smiled, "What is it?"

"Why did you sacrifice your life for me?"

"Isn't it obvious? Your my daughter, and I wanted to give you to live your life."

"But what about your life? How am I suppose to live with that?!?"

My voice accidentally risen, and I quickly covered my mouth at the surprise.

Mother giggled, "Did you not finish opening what I left for you?"

"No, it was too hard to."

"I see. Everything will soon be answered, but for now you have to go. Everyone is waiting for you," mother told me.

I ran up to her and hugged her, crying not to go. But all she said was that it was not my time to go and I still have something I have not completed yet in life. I took her word, and remained in her arms, quiet and listening to her every movement and word, until it was time to go. Shortly afterwards, everything went black.

"Natsu, I'm sorry. I wish it wasn't true either, but she isn't breathing," Levy lamented.

"Lucy, isn't dead. She can't be," Natsu's voice glumly spoke.

Sobs, and muffled crying were all that could be heard in the midst of silence. Slowly, I opened my eyes and found myself inside of the same blue hospital room, with pink flowers. As I looked around the room, everyone was in tears and those of them who weren't, tried to hide it. Natsu had his head pressed up against my stomach, hoping that I'll come back. Gently, I laid my hand on his back, rubbing it in a soothing way. Natsu looked up at me in utter surprise. He looked as if he just saw a ghost. Then a loud, happy voice left him.

"Lucy!"

Everyone looked at me in surprise, shock, and wonder. Some tried to speak, but they were too shocked to. Even Hinata, Himato, and Sonoco were. Erza walked up to me and said, "Someone's been waiting to meet you."

Carefully, she handed me a baby. My baby. As I gazed into her fiery brown eyes, she smiled at me and right then I knew what I should name her. It was as if she gave me the perfect name for her.

"Nashi," I whispered.

Natsu looked at me and asked, "You want to name her Nashi?"

"That's an adorable name," Levy added.

"Nashi it is," Natsu and I simultaneous agreed.

Just then the nurse came in, and the look on her face when she saw I finally woke up was priceless. She walked up to me with a clipboard, "Ah, you're finally awake. You were out for 7 hours, and I was afraid you wouldn't make it. How are you feeling?"
