On the run [Completed] (Fairy Tail Fanfic) NaLu

Chapter 19

Lucy was clutching onto her stomach and her eyes threatened to spill out tears. Natsu had frantic look on face, scared for what was going on.

"Lucy! What's wrong? What's happened?" Natsu was on the verge of hyperventilating.

Lucy couldn't form words due to her shock, so instead, she grabbed his hand and placed it on her belly, hopefully he would understand.

Natsu had no idea what was going, when Lucy took his hand and placed it on her swollen tummy, he was startled by what he felt.

"Luce, is ... is... is that our baby?" Natsu was in awe.

"Yes, Natsu, our baby just kicked" tears were streaming down her face at that moment.

Natsu was relieved that nothing bad had happened and was elated that he finally got to feel his child. His heart swelled with pride. He placed his hands on either side of her face and pulled her in for a kiss.

Once they broke for her Natsu couldn't contain his gratitude.

"Thank you. Thank you Luce for giving me such a wonderful gift." He kissed her again.

"Thank you Natsu for taking me on this wonderful adventure" She breathlessly whispered back.

Natsu wanted to do more but it seemed that his child was blocking him; whenever he would lean in too much, Lucy would start giggling, claiming that their baby wasn't letting them become intimate.

Natsu grumbled at the notion and lowered his head to her tummy

"Hey little one, until you get here, mommy here is all mine, you got it?" Natsu joked.

They both laughed, enjoying the moment. Eventually the happy couple fell sound asleep in each other's arms.

Meanwhile, back at the guild, Makarov was having a meeting with Macao, Laxus, Gajeel, Erza and Mira. He even had Gildarts tracked down. Lisanna needed to be brought to justice. The longer she was out there, the longer Lucy was in danger. The stakes were even higher now that she and Natsu were expecting a child.

"Mira and Laxus, I want you two to go to Lisanna's place and look for any clues to where she might have gone to, do not leave any stone unturned." The two left the room and headed towards their destination.

"Gajeel, I need you and Lily to go undercover. I need you to keep an ear out in case Lisanna has joined any dark guilds. Gildarts, you will go with them. Warren will give you communication lacrimas so you can keep in touch." All three acknowledged their orders and left as well.

Makarov was left alone now with Macao and Erza.

"What is on your mind Master?" Erza asked

"I am beginning to question whether it was a smart idea to bring Lucy and Natsu back."

"There is no safer place than at the guild Master, why would you think that?" Macao intervened.

"Is the guild really safe? Look at what happened. One of our children betrayed us and used a potion to control you all!" Both Erza and Macao hung their heads in shame.

"Macao, I know you have contacts in Crocus, I need you to look into safe houses for me" Macao and Erza gave him a quizzical look.

"Master?"

"Don't worry child, I have a plan" Makarov smirked.

Elsewhere, Mira and Laxus were walking in silence to their destination. They both felt quite awkward since the incident back at his place.

"Hey Laxus, about what happ..."

"Don't sweat it Mira, I know you weren't being yourself" Laxus' tone was flat. Mira couldn't help but feel dejected.

"Laxus, that's not it" Mira managed to grab his full attention. He stopped walking and looked into her eyes.

"I regret how it all happened, it may have been all a ruse but ..." Mira was trying to muster the courage to go on.

"...but..." Laxus whispered.

"My feelings for you aren't a lie" Mira held her breath after that. Ironically, she had a lot of trouble confessing.

Laxus stepped closer and closed the distance between them. He kissed her. She was taken by surprised, not expecting this reaction from him. She eased in to the kiss and reciprocated. They were both in heaven, knowing that their feelings were the same for one another.

Eventually, they broke the kiss. Uncharacteristically, Laxus was blushing.

"My my my, is Laxus blushing?" Mira teased. This caused Laxus to scowl.

"Come on, we have a job to do" He immediately changed the subject and dragged her to the home she shared with her siblings.

Once inside, they headed towards Lisanna's room. They weren't surprised that the door was locked. Mira and Elfman found it very weird that Lisanna had a lock on her bedroom door. Mira simply blew it off saying that she needed her privacy.

Laxus burned the lock; he shot a tiny lightning bolt through his finger. Once the lock was disabled, Mira opened the door. It slowly creaked open, Laxus turned on the light and they were both shocked by what they saw.

The room was in complete disarray, probably because of her haste in leaving. What really shocked them was that Lisanna had picture of Natsu everywhere. By her bed, was a picture she had torn out of an issue of Sorcerer's Weekly. It was a picture of Natsu and Lucy, but Lucy's head cut out and was replaced his Lisanna's.

Mira found this all very disturbing. Laxus decided to look through her room and opened her closet. What he saw sent shivers down his spine.

"Oh my god!"

"What did you find Laxus?" Mira went over. She immediately regretted asking.

In her closet, Lisanna had created some sort of shrine, with pictures of Lucy, the only problem was that the pictures were all cut up and words like "bitch" and "slut" were written everywhere. There was one picture that really scared them.

Mira picked up the picture and was shaking. It was a picture of Lucy and across her face was written, "I am going to kill you!"

"We need to show this to Gramps right away" Laxus wasted no time; he opened the window and grabbed Mira.

"You may want to hold breath" He smirked

"Wha..." She was baffled.

Before Mira could finish her sentence, Laxus teleported them out of there and were headed towards the guild.
