Cynthia's POV
"Ugh... I am never doing that again." I groaned, placing a hand on my belly and laid my head on top of the counter.
"Are you alright Cynthia-sama?!" Yukino looked at me worriedly.
"I... have never... been so full... in my life..." I choked. "But hey... the food was amazing." I laughed to myself but groaned as my tummy was starting to hurt again.
"Mommy!" Harumi cried worriedly as she clunged onto me.
"Ara? Harumi-chan... mommy just has a tummy ache. Nothing to worry about." I reassured.
"Doesn't look like it to me." a deep voice said and I looked up, my eyes were wide as saucers to see my boyfriend, Sting... fat. Like 200 pounds more than his usual muscular and well toned body. His face was now plumped with a lot of fat and skin, making it harder for me to kiss him. Along with his belly that was hanging low under his tank.
"S-Sting-kun?!" I gawked.
"Hm? What's wrong Cee-chan." he said and walked over to me, trying to reach out for me but he failed. "Why are you walking away from me?" he frowned.
"I'm not..."
"Huh?"
"W-What happened to you?" I asked. "Or wait.. don't answer that."
I laughed nervously, knowing why he got fat and to see him raise an eyebrow at me. I haven't seen Sting since yesterday because after that food eating contest, he had to deal with some Master duties sadly. But at the same time, me and Harumi-chan had a great time! All thanks to Sting.
"If you say so, Cee-chan." he shrugged.
"Mommy. Sting bee is huge." Harumi gasped.
"Ehe... he is.. isn't he?" I sweat dropped but groaned at my aching tummy.
"Cee-chan!", "Cynthia-chan!", "Okaa-san!" they shouted in unison.
"I'm fine." I croaked.
"You should drink some medicine or something." Minerva added while walking in with Rogue and Frosch as they came over to us.
"D-Don't have any." I paused to look up at Minerva. "And I don't understand or get it as to how you won the eating contest Minerva-san! That was so much food... I was already on the verge of throwing up." I grinned sheepishly and she looked at me with a proud smile.
"It takes time. You were probably eating too fast." she let out a soft laugh.
"P-Probably." I grinned.
"What if me and Rogue go get some medicine for you when we get back from our job?" she insisted.
"You don't have too." I moaned sickly.
"We will. You need to stay in bed." she exclaimed.
"Our lady is right. You need to rest." Rogue added in sternly.
"Fro thinks so too!"
"See Cynthia-chan. Everyone is agreeing." Lector said and stood beside Harumi.
"I-I got it..." I croaked and started to get up from my stool, but I suddenly feel weak on my knees. I shut my eyes not wanting to feel the ground but instead I felt someone to grab onto my shoulders. I looked up to see a worried Rogue.
"Are you okay? This big idiot wasn't able to catch you because of how much weight he gained." Rogue muttered towards Sting who looked worried, before helping me to lay on the couch.
"I'm fine." I chuckled. "Thanks Rogue-kun."
"No problem. Me and our lady are leaving for our job!" Rogue mentioned to Sting and Yukino who approved, as for me... I was still laying down on the couch with Harumi kneeling near the couch and watched me.
"Fro hopes that Cynthia gets better!"
"Heh, thank you Frosch." I patted her head before she ran off with Rogue and Minerva.
"We're off!" they both said in unison.
"Ah! Be safe!" Sting waved before looking at me. "I'll carry you to bed."
"Err... Sting-sama... I don't think." Yukino said shyly.
"What do you mean Yukino?" he asked.
"N-Nevermind."
"You're too fat to carry mommy!" Harumi cried, burying her face into my chest.
"Who you calling fat?!" Sting glared.
"You, baka!" Harumi gave a small smirk, getting Sting even more annoyed by the second.
"Alright you two, that's enough. Cynthia-sama I mean chan, needs to have her rest." Yukino softly said.
"B-But I want to stay with mommy!" Harumi cried and clinged onto me.
"I want to stay beside Cee-chan too. There's no way that I can lose sight of her or when she's sick!" Sting hollered.
"Oi! Harumi-chan! Why don't you come and play with me and Uncle Rufus?" Orga called her but she shook her head and continued to cry for me.
"It's okay Harumi-chan. Mommy's tummy will get better in the meantime. It's just food poisoning." I chuckled but later groaned.
"I don't believe you mommy!"
"I agree with Harumi-chan on this one, Cee-chan." Sting added in.
"If this keeps on going and if Rogue-kun and our lady doesn't come back soon, then maybe me and Sting-kun can go buy some medicine!" Lector exclaimed.
"T-That would be a great idea." Yukino smiled.
"S-Sting can you grab me some water please?" I asked.
"Of course my love. I'll be back." he said and walked away heavily with that heavy weight of his with Lector behind him.
"And I get to stay with mommy!" Harumi said while puffing her cheeks.
"I-I think that it's best if-"
"Natsu-sama! Lucy-sama! Happy-sama!" Yukino cut me off, making my eyes to widen.
'U-Uso... they're back?! They found each other so fast and why are they here?!' I thought in fear and confusion, knowing that my comrades from my past guild, Fairy Tail are here.
"Yukino!" Lucy shouted. "It's been awhile! Everything okay?"
"Yes thanks to all of you! And to Cynthia-sama... I mean chan as well!" Yukino said happily, making me to curse under my breath. I noticed at the corner of my eye to see Harumi looking at me in slight confusion.
"Mommy?" she asked softly.
"Shhh." I softly answered, eavesdropping in on the conversation.
"All the work that used to go to Fairy Tail's been coming our way now, ya' see." Orga interjected.
"And so we've made quite the killing... I seem to recall." Rufus added in.
"U-Uh... that's not at all what I meant when I said." Yukino stammered.
"I know, silly! Anyways Fairy Tail's making a comeback now!" Lucy said, making me to choke and felt my heart to flutter after hearing those words.
"What!?" I jumped from the couch ignoring my pain in my stomach but stared at the three members of whom I've missed so much.
"C-Cynthia-chan?! Is that you?! You look so different and beautiful!" Lucy gasped.
"I've missed you Lucy-chan! You're hair is longer and you look dazzling!" I smiled as tears were forming at the corner of my eyes. She ran up to me and gave me a tight hug, making me to hide my pain.
"I've missed you too." Lucy sighed.
"Yo! Cynthia-chan! It's been awhile." Natsu waved, making me to smile.
"We've missed you Cynthia-chan!" Happy flew over to me and gave me a hug which I returned one.
'Fairy Tail is making a comeback...? But why now...' I thought to myself.
"Are you serious?!" Yukino gasped. "I... I can't wait!"
"Er.... there's really no need for you to get so emotional..." Lucy sweatdropped making me to laugh.
"Is it just me or have I heard these voices somewhere before?" I heard a familiar voice to say beside me with a glass of water in his hand.
"It isn't just you. Hi!" Lector greeted.
"Hey, if it isn't Natsu-san and Lucy-san!" Sting smiled.
"And Happy!" Lector cheered.
"Who. are. you?" Lucy deadpanned and I chuckled at her confused face.
"Yo, Sting." Natsu grinned.
"Whaaat?!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Haven't changed a bit, have ya', Natsu-san." Sting brought his face closer towards them.
"Right back at ya'." Natsu grinned.
"No... he's definitely changed!" Lucy squealed making me it hard for me to laugh.
"Cynthia-chan? Are you alright?" Lucy asked worriedly and placed a hand on my forehead.
"Huh? I-I'm fine... just a tummy ache, that's all." I smiled softly.
"Mo-Mommy who are they?" I heard Harumi to ask as she walked up behind me, hiding from Natsu, Lucy and Happy.
"M-Mommy?!" they yelled in shock and I chuckled nervously while scratching my cheek at them.
"W-We technically...-"
"She's not really her mom, just a mistake." Sting cut me off.
"What do you mean?" Lucy asked.
"I found her lost and she mistakenly mistook me as her mother. But we know that she has a father who is out there somewhere, and apparently I am her mother that she speaks of. So I'm her 'mother'... for now." I sweat dropped.
"She doesn't look like Sting anyways...or you Cynthia-chan... so I knew that she wasn't your actual daughter."
"You're right... she doesn't look like she has any of our genes... well except for a familiar blonde hair like Sting-kun." I smiled.
"She definitely doesn't smell like neither of you, anyways." Natsu sniffed making her to get slightly startled.
"Natsu, Lucy-chan, Happy... meet Harumi-chan. Harumi-chan, meet some old friends of mine." I smiled and pushed her slightly forward so that they could get a better view of her.
"Hi there! I'm Lucy."
"I'm Happy and that's Natsu!" Happy added.
"H-Hi..." she squeaked before hiding behind me once more.
"Have you guys located her real father?" Natsu asked and raised an eyebrow as I looked over to Sting who sighed.
"Not yet, we will soon and yet to find any clues." he answered and I slightly frowned.
"Hm? Is Carla not with you guys this time?" Lector asked Happy this time.
"Speaking of which, is Frosch gone too?" Happy asked, changing the subject.
"Frosch is off with Rogue-kun and the miss on some work."
"Where'd they go?!" Natsu immediately squashed Lector's face, making me and Sting to look in slight worry and anger. Well actually anger was more towards Sting, than to me.
"What're you doing to Lector, Natsu-san?!" Sting yelled.
"Oof..." Lucy and I mumbled as Sting slightly pushed us. Thankfully Harumi didn't get pushed or hit by a big Sting.
"Natsu-sama?" Yukino said said.
"What's wrong Natsu?" I asked, regaining my balance.
".... Well, uh.... they've just left so maybe they're still at the city gates." Lector started to say within Natsu's grasp.
"Okay. Thanks, Lector!" Natsu shouted before running away from us.
"One sec, Natsu!" Lucy yelled.
"Wait up~!" Happy added in and I saw Natsu to stop in his tracks before looking in my direction.
"Huh? What's wrong this time Natsu?" I softly asked but immediately was shocked to see him running up towards me, his face right in front of me.
"Oi! Get away from Cee-chan!" Sting hollered.
"Cynthia... I have a question that I need to ask you." he said seriously, taking a step back.
"That question is...?" I felt Harumi to tug on my hand.
"Will you come back and join Fairy Tail?" he asked, making me to go in shock.
"W-What?"
"You heard me. I won't say it again but ... Cynthia come back to Fairy Tail, we need you back. Back so that we can regroup everyone together again." Natsu ginned making me to feel light headed and at a loss of words.
"I think Cee-chan needs her rest." Sting said sternly, stepping in between me and Natsu who glared.
"Cynthia. Just letting you know... that your heart always belonged with Fairy Tail and I just know it. You've missed us, the guild, your family. We've missed you too. Just think about it and for your answer. We will always be your number one family and guild. Don't forget that." Natsu said seriously before turning on his heels and dashed towards the city gates to meet up with Rogue and Minerva.
"I....I ...." I stammered.
'I don't know even know my answer honestly... It's been a year, things have changed. I changed. And I can't think straight of what Natsu just said to me right now. I'm lost...like at a loss of words, that Natsu's voice was echoing in my head. I'm starting to feel slight guilt, pain, and sadness of thinking about it. I even forgot the pain that was once in my stomach... is now gone, which I am really happy about but... ugh. What to do...'
"What was all that about?" I heard Sting to say, breaking my thoughts as he wrapped a 'skinny and muscular' arm around my small waist.
"Dunno." Lector piped in who was hanging on his shoulder.
"And now he's back to normal!" Lucy yelled to see a skinny and well toned Sting. My eyes went huge to see a muscular and the same Sting who was not so plump and big this time.
But a sexier Sting instead.
"He was looking rather plump so I used some of Libra's magic." Yukino confessed who held up one of her celestial keys.
"Tada." Libra said in the background.
"T-Thank you Yukino-chan... Libra-san." I smile gently.
"I've gotta run. I really hope that you're considering of coming back to Fairy Tail, Cynthia-chan." Lucy hugged me and I laughed nervously.
"Y-Yeah..."
"See you soon Cynthia-chan!" Happy waved and ran off with Lucy who let go of our hug.
"See you..." I softly mumbled.
"Mommy... " Harumi softly said, as I gently squeezed on her hand.
"Cee-chan?" Sting softly nudged me.
"What is it?" I asked softly, never leaving my eyes where my comrades ran down the pavement.
"Let's go home." he kissed my cheek, bringing me back to reality and I sighed in slight relief.
"Y-Yeah..."
"Let's go, Harumi-chan." Sting added as he took a hold of her small hand in his. "Cee-chan?"
"Hm? Oh! Sorry... I was lost in my thoughts." I chuckled sadly as I took Sting's hand in mine and walked away from the scene.
"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked worriedly.
"You don't look very well... like it seems worser than before." Lector added in who was now walking beside Harumi.
"I just have a lot of things in my mind... that's all." I gave a fake smile.
"If you say so..." Lector shrugged as Harumi and Sting glanced at one another, making me to sigh.
"Yukino! I'll be taking Cee-chan back home! Watch over the guild for me until I get back!" Sting shouted.
"Hai! Sting-sama! Get well Cynthia-sam-chan! See you soon Harumi-chan and Lector-sama!" she waved back and I gave a small smile.
