My POV

Lucy cleans the dishes while Nashi starts to cry. Lucy drops the dish and it breaks. " Son of a-- " She was cut off by a knock on the door. She sighed and dries off her hands. They knock on the door again. " I'm coming! " She said. Nashi is crying loudly. She opens the door and it's the landlord. " You need to Pay me rent! " She ordered. Lucy sighed. " Please. Just give me more time " She said. " You have been saying that for 3 months. Now, pay me 270,000 jewel or get out of here by next week " She said. " Wait.... " Lucy said. She added up three months of rent. " I should only have to pay 210,000 jewel " She said. " There is a 20,000 jewel tax if your late " She said. Lucy sighed. She would have to leave. She could use her credit card to check into a hotel. That would risk her father finding her, but then again she couldn't just let her kid sleep on the street when she has the money to take care of her. She closed the door and tears start to form. She can't stand to live like this, on the run. She packed up their things and she goes to a nearby hotel.

~In Magnolia~

Jude just received a call that some charges for a hotel have been put on his card. There you are Lucy... He thought. It could only be her. He called the hotel but they said that she wasn't there. He asked about her, but used a fake name that he was a hundred percent sure she used. They told him she didn't want to talk to him. He sighed. There was only one person who could help him. Natsu Dragneel. He has no idea that these two know each other.

~A few hours later~

" Please, find my daughter and bring her home safely " He pleaded. " Okay " Natsu said. " Thank you so much " Jude said then left. Natsu looked at the picture of Lucy. " I'll see you soon... Luce " He said and smiled at the picture of her.

~With Lucy~

Lucy rocks Nashi slowly. She gives a tender look to her daughter. Nashi is only one month old. Once she falls asleep she lays her down on the bed. She sighed and goes to the couch and sits down.

~In the lobby~

Natsu walks into the hotel. They already know who he is. He is a very feared and respected man. " Hello, is there a Lucy Heartfilia here? " He asked. " No... " The receptionist said. He forgot about the fake name. " Oh! Sorry, I'm told she's going as Michelle Lobster " He said. The receptionist checks. " Okay um...S-she's in room 7A " Sh answered. " Thanks " He said then goes into the elevator.

~Back with Lucy~

Lucy was sitting down on the couch still. When she heard a knock on the door. She gets up and opens it. She sees his face and slams the door. She is completely shocked. " How did he find me?! " She asked aloud. Her dad could track her, but he couldn't. She heard a small whimper. " No no no " She said running back to the room. She puts the pacifier in her mouth, and she calms down before she starts wailing. Lucy sighed of relief. She closed the door as softly as she could so not to wake the baby. She goes back and starts pacing and biting her nails. Natsu Dragneel is standing outside that door. He might have left she thought. She looks through the peek hole. " Yup still there! " She said. She panicked. She paces quickly. " Shit! What if he knocks on the door?! Then she'll wake up and start crying and he'll see and then I'll have run away for nothing! " She ranted. She sighed and tried to calm down. " Okay okay, I'll just open the door and not let him back there. " She said. " Yeah... That'll work " She said. She opens the door and he's still there. " Hey " She said. He waved. " Your father sent me over here right retrieve you. So now let's go! " He said picking her up. " Hey w-wait! You can't just take me. I have all of these things here and I need to get them and-- " She was saying but Natsu cut her off. " Just buy replacements " He shrugged. " No! " She said. " And besides! How can I buy a replacement for a ba-- " She was saying but she but herself off before she could finish the word. Most of her secret had been revealed, and she couldn't reveal the rest of it. Not yet anyways. She would tell him, but later. She wasn't even planning on seeing him for a while anyways. " A what? " He asked. " I didn't say anything " She said. He puts her down, and pulled her into the house. Before he could slam it she closed it softly. She turns around to face him and he is only an inch away from her. She blushed deeply " Luce... " He said in a husky voice, making Lucy's body feel like jelly. He moved closer to her ear. She could feel his warm breath on her ear. " I know how to get an answer out of you " He said. He takes a strand of her hair and twirls it in his finger. " And I know, you know that " He said. She did wanna tell him. She didn't want to at all. But she already knows what he will do just to get it out of her. It works everytime, without fail. He looks her in the eye. She turns her face. " Luce look at me " He ordered. She turns to him slowly. Facing his face. Still blushing a dark red. A color that rivals the mighty titania's hair. After all these months she is still madly in love with him. She can't deny it, although she hasn't seen him in a while. " Luce, what was it that you were gonna say? What are you hiding from me? " He asked. " I... I... I... " She couldn't get her words out.
