Fairy Tail: Civil War.

Chapter 8- Relaxation before the storm.

Wendy sighed as she whipped away the small bundle of sweat on her forehead while walking out of the infirmary after she had finished checking up on Lucy, the blue haired girl's hair slightly sticking to her skin because of the small perspiration that covered her body.

"Wendy!! How is she?" Asked Mira to the girl hurriedly as she ran over to her, almost tripping on her dress in the process but was able to balance herself quickly thanks to her caring boyfriend who was just a few feet behind her and was lucky enough to catch her in time.

Wendy giggled at her white haired friend, giving Mira a small reassuring smile as she nodded at her, Mira immediately sighing in relief at that.

"Don't worry, she's perfectly fine, she's just had not been properly taking care of her body that's all." Explained Wendy to her, tugging a small strand of her blue hair back at her ear. "Can you prepare something for her to eat when she wakes up? She really nee--"

Mira eyes widened at the girl's question as she quickly vigorously nodded her head at her, cutting off her words in the process. "Yes!! Of course!! I'll get right on to it now!!"

"Amazing." Laughed out Wendy as she waved at Mira's retreating giddy form to the kitchen. Making sure that the white haired woman was finally out of sight, Wendy sighed as the smile that she had on her face instantly dropped.

"Laxus-san." Called out Wendy to the blonde haired man with a voice clearly lacing seriousness in it. "Lucy's really, really not okay."

Laxus brows jumped at that, as his eyes widened in shock, worry  overcoming his features instantly as he grabbed Wendy by both of her shoulders looking her dead in the eye. "What do you mean she's not okay?"

Wendy gulped as her own eyes were wide because of Laxus's action, as she hesitantly uttered out to him with a small drop of her head down to look at the wooden ground under her. "Well...the baby's fine. As for her..."

Panic overcame Laxus mind at Wendy's hesitancy, as a small voice in his mind screamed at him to go and beat the hell out of Natsu for leaving Lucy like that after putting her out in this state in the first place.

"....we just, I just need to give her some vitamins and a few medications for--"

"Yes yes!" Exclaimed out Laxus to Wendy in relief. "I'll get her anything that she needs, if it's money your worrying about I can buy them myself for her a--"

"No, Laxus-san, it's not about the money." Sighed out Wendy as she shook her head slowly while her dark blue bangs swayed from left to right at her action.

Of course Wendy wouldn't be worried about something as stupid as the money.

She was worried about Lucy.

Sure her baby was in perfect health and condition for being only 3 month old, but Lucy's body was far from being in perfect condition. The blonde haired woman had slimed down so much and had lost so much weight that it wasn't healthy for a pregnant woman like her. Wendy guessed that in those past 3 month when she first got pregnant in the first place Lucy didn't know how to handle something like this.

And especially after Natsu leaving her a week ago, she was sure that the stress and anxiety from him being far away from her was eating her out from the inside.

"This is all my fault!" Exclaimed Wendy in frustration as she shook her way out of Laxus tight hold on her shoulders, taking the man by surprise at her sudden action. "I--I shouldn't of left her! I was so fed up with the fact that Gray and Natsu almost..."

A small sob cracked out of her mouth.

"...that I just dared t--to--"

Another sob.
