Chapter 12: Home Sweet Home

--<-><-><-><->--

Magnolia

Juvia woke up to the bed moving. She opened her tired eyes, observing what was going on to see her son, Storm, jumping up and down continuously. "What-"

"Mommy! Your up!!!!" he squeals, suddenly stopping his jumps and plopping himself on his knees. "Can you make me some bwekfest?"

Yawning, Juvia sat up rubbing her eyes. "Sure."

Also in Magnolia

Lucy pulled her luggage bag while hopping excitingly in the air. "WE'RE BACK!"

"Wah-hooooo!!!!!!" Luna exclaimed, punching the air as she rode on her mothers back.

Erza, Natsu, and Gray all laughed at this. They had just gotten off of the train, at 10 in the morning, arriving back home after 3 long months of being away.

They felt the normal brisk air hit their faces as they walked, which was their normal air to walk in and adjust to.

They had talked about it on the train that they would go to the guild first, to Gray's dismay. They needed to report to Makarov that they were indeed alive and well before going home and unpacking. Gray decided not to argue since he knew he'd get out voted and it'd be better to have all of them report instead of just one.

"I can't wait to see Levy, the twins, Lisanna, and…..MIRAJANE! Oh my gosh! I totally forgot about her being pregnant! She's probably huge! In the nicest way possible, of course...." Lucy rambles on about things she's excited about while walking ahead of the rest.

"Is it just me…." Happy begins as he is flying in the air. "Or is she a little too excited?"

Natsu scoffed, walking with hands behind his head. "Yeah….she acted like this on our way to Porlyusica's when Luna was ready to be born."

Happy shaped his mouth like an 'o', turning away from looking at Natsu to instead stare at Lucy who was, still, babbling on.

Gray shook his head with a smile whilst looking down at his steps, his hands placed in his pockets.

"You know, Gray….when you go home and if Juvia doesn't accept your apology…..just blame me." Erza says alongside him, her face facing forward when Gray looked back up to her. She knew herself that when he got home it would be a mess….that Juvia wouldn't forgive him….but then, it was really up to fate. Erza knew Juvia, and the girl wouldn't do a thing to harm Gray. Maybe, just maybe, Makarov was lying about how Juvia was? Maybe it was just him trying to get Gray to finish the job faster so he could actually come back….it was a possibility…but again, fate knows what would happen and it was up to said fate to let it happen.

"That won't be necessary." Gray faces forward now too, his steps and Erza's steps matching up. "It isn't technically your fault…I could've easily told Juvia where I was going."
