The door opened again and Lisanna was already on her feet,her face full of smiles as she had spotted Evergreen holding the door open for the rest of the Thunder God Tribe.

However her face dropped when she saw the look on Ever's face. It had suffering, anguish,defeat and anger written all over it. But most importantly her eyes showed pity when she looked at Lisanna.

Ever couldn't hold the tears in any longer and they started like the waterfall as she crumpled to the ground. Loud cries were held throughout the guild and everyone turned their attention to the guild door.

"Where is the rest of the group?" A member asked, worry present in his voice.

Lisanna who was already halfway near the door stopped dead in her tracks as she saw the rest of the Thunder God Tribe or rather what remained of them come in through the door.

Freed with a broken arm, his head,legs and the lower part of his stomach in bandages that have not been changed in days. He looked like he had been hit by a moving train.

Bixlow was equally damaged as his entire body were covered in bandages with exception of his head. He was like a living mommy.

What really got everyone's attention especially Lisanna's was the what or rather who they had wheeled in. The person was covered with a white thin blanket from head to toe but she was familiar with the rough and spiky blond hair sticking out from under even though it was dirty.

Her legs couldn't support her any longer and they gave way as she fell to the ground. The rest of the world seemed to have faded away as she crawled to the body eyes wide with fear and despair. She removed the cover and to her horror there lay a nearly lifeless Laxus. He was barely breathing, his eyes devoid of life; the greyish orbs had lost its shine,his face frail and his body weak and zapped of energy.

Lisanna could feel her own energy leaving her as she watched her husband. Her hands were trembling and her head was spinning. She pulled the cover to his stomach and noticed there was a hole in his chest,like something had been extracted from it.

By now Fairy Tail was as silent as a graveyard as members watched in horror, some were crying and others holding on to each other for support.

The rest of the Thunder God Tribe crumpled beside Laxus body. "He said he wanted to make it here, to you. He wouldn't let us take him to the hospital. He said he wouldn't die until he came back home alive just like he had promised you. H-e he.." Freed couldn't help but wail before he completed his sentence.

"Wendy. Get Wendy." Lisanna whispered. Her love was fading away before her very eyes and she could feel her life and happiness fading with it too.

"Wendy!!" Natsu shouted as he watched the dying Laxus.

As Wendy got to Laxus he smiled weakly and shook his head."L-little one, leave and don't waste your strength. " He managed to say.

Wendy ignored him and stretched her hands to become the healing process with tears in her eyes but he stopped her . He grabbed her hands and shook his head again and she left him crying.

Laxus took Lisanna' hand in one of his and she held on tightly as if her life depends on it, his other hand he used to wiped her tear stained cheeks, trace her lips and her face.

"Shhh, its okay. Everyone dies someday right? Remember you said that?" He whispered. Her tears intensified and soft sobs could be heard.

"Why? Why won't you let her heal you?" She asked as she cried into his chest, her face staining with dried blood.

"They took out the Lighting Lacrima. The Lacrima is gone. It's like ripping out his heart. He had it in him for more than seventeen years,without it he won't survive." Kinna said a in between tears as she had studied Laxus chest from afar.

"It was a trap. They had everything planned out. All they wanted is the Lighting Lacrima and we were out numbered...." Freed wept as he said it but he was interrupted by Ever.

"I am sorry Lisanna, I am so sorry. This is all my fault." Ever shouted,her voice going higher with each sentence. She was down on all fours her head to the ceiling as her tears flooded the floor.

"He was trying t-to save me. We were able to handle them but I made a silly mistake. He was trying to save me. Th- they put a sword through his chest. They put a sword through his chest. "

Bixlow had his tongue in. Everyone could see he was suffering a great deal as he couldn't cry due to his special eyes. He couldn't release his feelings through tears like everyone else.

Lisanna in the other hand wasn't doing so well. Her husband was dying right in front of her and she can't do anything to save him

"Li-Lisanna come here." He whispered as he pulled her into a hug. "To die would be an awfully big adventure... That's it,right? From that sappy book you were always reading. Hah, I nailed it."

"W-we can still go on tons of adventures." She sniffed. "All the time,just the two of us, everyday, every moment would be filled with fun I swear. Ju-just get better. Don't you dare break your promise."Y-you promised you would come back alive." She sobbed into his chest. "You promised you wouldn't abandon me,you promised we would grow old together, you promised to stay, that you wouldn't leave, that you'll be there when I need you."

"I came home and I am talking, that means I am still alive."

"That's not what I mean by alive. This wasn't what I meant. This is not being alive. I wanted you to stay my husband, I wanted you to be the father of my child,our child. I wanted us to raise this baby together." She wailed louder as she broke the news to him that they were having a baby. The revelation was supposed to be an happy one and not in the midst of tears and sorrow. Other guild members sympathised with her and Mira's tears couldn't be stopped.

"I-i am having a child. A baby. We are having a child." He fell apart. He finally let his tears fall freely. Laxus cried. He was having a baby and he wouldn't get to see him or her.

"Yes. Yes. We are having a baby so stay with me so that we can raise him together. We can all go on many fun adventures together. Those adventures you love. Please, stay with me." She cried into his chest,holding onto him.

Using the last of his strength he pulled her into one last hug. " I love you Lisanna. Take care of yourself and our baby. Tell Gramp's I am sorry I left before him." His hands went limp,all signs of breathing gone, his body cold and his eyes closed.

She didn't want to believe it. She didn't want to believe he left her. She wailed, embracing him tightly, urging him to come back to her.

FairyTail was devastated and everyone mourned the death of a great mage.

Hours later the Master came and heard the news that his grandson was dead. His own grandson had left him in this world. The shock was too much for the old man to handle and he died from shock. Fairy Tail was beyond devastated, they had to mourn ten times greater. They had lost a father and a son, a husband and a mentor, a friend. They had lost two people on the same day.

Lisanna almost joined the two mages with her baby but with Wendy's help they were able to revive her. The guild was no longer filled with smiles and laughter, mourning filled the air.

________________________________

Rain fell continuously for throughout Magnolia for days without stopping. People had almost began to forget what clear skies looked like. It poured with such intensity, people thought it was going to wipe out the whole city as most of Magnolia was flooded. It was hard to tell if it was Juvia mourning or the heavens itself that joined in their sorrow.

In the church cemetery, the members if the guild joined by some other guilds had assembled, all in dark clothes and some with flowers. The mood was gloomy and most members wept.

Two new grave stones had found their place in the cemetery.

Laxus Dreyar

Year X761 - Year X788

To a loving husband, a great mage and a guild mate. A hero.

Makarov Dreyar

Year X696 - Year X788

To a loving father to all, a great mage and a light that shone brightly even in darkness.

Lisanna was awfully quite during the funeral service. During the week before the funeral she had fallen into depression.

Ezra cried like she had never cried before,even wearing her armour didn't make her seem strong this time. Lucy needed support to stand, Gray cried; his icy heart and eyes were melted with his tears. Mira held on to elfman and kept Lisanna with her; her eyes had lost it shine like everyone one else, elfman cried without saying a word, little Asuka could be seen with her parents weeping. Wendy and charle wept with happy. Levy had the support of Jet and droy and they all wept like there was no tomorrow. The thunder god Tribe all mourned.

Natsu had refused to believe that it was happening and had caused a scene. He was therefore escorted out by Ezra and Gray.

After the funeral the other mages shared their condolences with the guild members and Lisanna.

Sting walked up to her. "Sorry for your loss. He was a great mage. I heard he was a hero until the very end. He saved them." He pointed to Freed,ever and bixlow.

"I didn't want him to be a hero. I wanted him to be my husband." She cried bitterly as sting comforted her.

And done. That was long. So what did you think? This is my first time writing hurt and comfort, agnst and I have to tell you it wasn't fun to write. I cried. *Sniffs* I just killed Laxus and Makrov añd left a pregnant wife and a mourning guild and a flooded Magnolia. I feel bad.

I am doing a part two for this and I have the perfect idea, well not perfect but its nice. So what should Lisanna name the child? I really need a name.
