Secrets

Chappie 4

Natsu stepped out of the bathroom with confusion written on her face.

"What does this mean?" She asked Erza. She looked at it, then up to Natsu.

"Who did you sleep with, Natsu?"

She looked down and blushed.

"W-Why does it matter?" She stammered angrily.

"Alright, alright."

"Sorry, I'm really not trying to be pushy or rude."

"That's as expected, because you're pregnant."

"Yea- wait, what?"

Her eyes glittered with tears as she waited for Erza to answer.

"You're pregnant."

She started to cry and almost tackled Erza into a hug. After she'd collected herself, she called the rest of the team to the hall by the bathroom.

"Okay, guys, I have some news," Erza said; just loud enough for all of the members of the team could hear(minus Happy. He's with Mira).

"Gray, you and Natsu are together, right?"

They looked at her, stupefied.

"Am I mistaken?"

They both shook their heads 'no'.

"Well, then congratulations, Gray." She started as she bonked his head.

"You're gonna be a father."

His eyes widened from the squint they were in, due to the impact of the hit.

"R...Really?" He asked and looked to Natsu. She smiled warmly and nodded. He ran and picked her up. She laughed and leaned into his embrace. Lucy and Erza smiled and watched the display of emotion and affection before them.

"I love you." He whispered with his face in her shoulder.

"Love you, too." She whispered back.

"We'll leave you two alone." Lucy smiled. Gray nodded with a cheesy smile. Erza laughed and walked out behind Lucy.

"They're so childish." Lucy whispered. Erza nodded and laughed quietly. After they'd left, Natsu took Gray's hand and their fingers intertwined.

"Wanna go and show off our relationship before we show them baby photos?"

His cheesy smile never left his face; signaling that he really didn't care. She giggled and he half ran and pulled her out to the guild hall. Everyone looked at the two as they held hands. But, that's not why, though. They knew it had already happened. It was the fact that Gray had a huge smile on his face.

'Since when does Gray smile like that?' Master Makarov thought as he sipped from his beer mug. Erza elbowed his shoulder.

"Erza? What is it?"

"I just needed to inform you that Natsu won't be able to go on any missions for about a year or two." She whispered.

"Why?"

"Because Natsu's pregnant." She said plainly and bored.

"SHE'S PREGNANT?!" Erza face-palmed and everyone looked up.

"Who's pregnant?" Mirajane asked. Gray and Natsu stiffened.

'Uh-oh...' They thought as they looked to each other.

"Master, be quiet, please. We're not trying to inform the whole guild!" Erza whisper-yelled.

"Yes, but this is something everyone needs to know!"

Erza face-palmed once again and looked her way with a sorrowful expression. But, at the same time, she was stifling laughter. Natsu gripped Gray's hand tightly, and he did so in return. Juvia saw their hands interlocked under the table and growled under her breath.

'That's my Gray!' She thought to herself angrily.

"Natsu!" She yelled. Gray paled and Natsu sweatdropped.

"Just great, Gray, you had to go and get yourself a fangirl." Natsu nervously laughed.

"I didn't try to, she did that on her own."

"Maybe because you're always stripping." She said with a defeating tone. He sighed and slumped onto the table.

"Natsu, is Gray your 'baby Daddy?"Makarov asked knowingly with a laughed. Her face flushed along with Gray's, while a fire lit in Juvia's eyes.

"Y-Yeah." Natsu stuttered. Then, Juvia went in for the hit. Before Natsu could fully turn, and before Gray or Erza could make a move, Lucy punched her square in the jaw. Gray smirked as Natsu smiled warmly.

"Thanks, Luce!"

She smiled proudly.

"No problem, Natsu."
