{Lucy's Pov}
~ A/N : Thank you for your kind comment on chapter 6 @toxicclaws ! It means alot to me! :) ~
Numb... Thats exactly what I felt at this moment, Empty even... My mind can't seem to wrap itself around the information we just got...
~ A few moments before ~
'' I'm sorry to have to tell you both this...but i'm afraid we will be needing this room at some point this week.. That meaning you both should take the time to think over...Your descions that will have to be made..'' He trailed off. My eye's widened as I know exactly what he's trying to say.
I start to shake, '' What?! Can't you guys give us a little more time! This shouldnt even be allowed doc! Can't who ever needs this room be moved to a different hospital?! '' Natsu asked. I leaned my head into natsu's shoulder taking a few deep breaths.
'' Miss, Rebecca dragneel has been here for almost a week..Wouldnt you think she would not wanna live her life hooked up to a machine? I believe you guys need to fill out this form...It has all the options of what could be done...Also. Mr.Dragneel, Think of it as if it were you. Would you want to live like this? '' He hands us the form and walks out of the room.
~ Present ~
'' Damn it! This isnt fair Luce...'' He cried out. Looking me in the eyes, I nodded silently.
'' We have to tell shiki now...natsu..'' I whispered adverting my eye's. '' Shiki has known rebecca for the longest time..Yeah sure we are her blood parents but...'' I paused Taking in a shaky breath '' W-we were not here for her...'' I finished off, Natsu growled '' We had no choice lucy! You know that, We had a war to win! we made a pact. When we all sent the kids off of planet earth to protect them. Luce...We promised them we would come back for them no matter the age!! Now that we are back...w-we..'' He stopped for a good minute and let out a sob..while my heart lurched..My poor natsu...He must really hate this too. '' Luce...we didn't even get to tell her..'' he whispered sounding defeated...
I nodded my head silently We stayed silent for a moment until a knock was on Rebecca's door.
Natsu opened the door and shiki walked in '' Is it true? They are gonna take her off life support?! '' he asked with panic on his face. My face held great pain...
'' i'm sorry shiki... I do believe you should be here with us to help make the descions on what to do...for her... I mean you guys grew up..You have known her longer than....us. '' I sighed out as he started to cry. I ran over and hugged him, His mom and dad were not here at the moment to comfort him, so I am filling in their spot.
Natsu put his hand on shiki's shoulder after a while. '' Thank you for protecting her...while we were not able to... We owe you our life. '' Shiki nodded his head silently.
'' I think it's time we fill out the paper..'' I said my voice cracking. This pain is somthing new to me, Who knew it would hurt this much to lose your child..Your own flesh and blood.
I looked at natsu and was trying his best to be tough...But how could we? How can we act so strong when all we feel is, Empty and regret. Numb. What can we do? How will we recover from this...
Is it even possible to fully accept that your only child is gone...?
How...
I'm so sorry rebecca!
