Chapter 7: Reunion

(If you see a writing error comment "KILL IT WITH FIRE")

Lucy's POV___________________

"E-Erza?!?" I squealed. Virgo's eyes went wide with shock. She flinched glancing at me to see my reaction. When she acknowledged my faint thankful expression her tensed muscles subsided.
"I-I'll take my leave." Erza raised an eyebrow at her sudden leave as Virgo stepped off of the seat. A bright light engulfed her into the ground, taking her to the celestial world. Once she left, Erzas confused expression sobered up.
"Hi Lucy!!" Erza squealed back as she ran up to me with open arms.
"I. Am. So. Sorry. She insisted and is impossible to stop." Levy apologized before she scurried over to give me a hug as well. They let go of their embrace and looked down at me.
"You can sit, you don't have to stand." The blue haired Mage sat down on the barstool that was once occupied by Virgo. Erza ignored my pleading and leaned against the counter as if she was getting ready to interrogate me.
"Care if I ask questions?" She inquired.
"Why not?" I answer awkwardly as I turn to face her.
"When did you find out?"
"The day I left."
"When's it due?"
"I don't know.. September I believe."
"Gender?"
"Don't know yet."
"How much is your rent?"
"I- umm... 5,600 jewel?" Erza chuckled at my comment.
"No wonder."
"HEY!!!" I screeched. Levy laughed along with Erza, engulfing each other into a laughing fit loud enough to shake the house. I attempted to hush them, but to no prevail. "Shhh!!! I don't want to attract attention!"
"Why?" Erza declared.
"Well, I don't want anybody spreading rumors about a member of fairy tail being a potential mother."
"How come?" She continued.
"Can you imagine what that would look like?" Erza paused for a moment, lost in thought. She soon started shaking her head furiously. Levy giggled at her sudden gesture.
"Have you guys eaten yet?" I inquired.
"No, we haven't." Levy added.
"Want soup? Virgo made some. I'm sure she wouldn't mind."
"Sure!" They both declared in unison, yet one was slightly more enthusiastic than the other.
     I poured them a bowl and slid it across the counter, it landed in from of them perfectly. I pulled my shoulders back, proud of myself for a full reason. I tossed them both spoons and they both gave me thankful smiles in return.
"Brings back memories. Doesn't it?" Levy admitted as she caught the spoon in hand. I chuckle and nod with a smile.
      She was mentioning the day we ate pancakes together....The day I left.
        "Lucy?" Erza explained. I perked up and looked Erza in the eyes, signally to her that I was listening. "Do you miss fairy tail?" Her question threw me off guard. I flinched, not knowing what to say back.
"Every day...Every hour....Every Minute...Every second..." I finally spoke. It created an awkward silence amongst us. Levy eventually cleared her throat interrupting the silence.
"So, Lucy. Have you gone baby shopping yet?"
"I don't exactly have the cash to do so." I remarked. Erza choked on her soup.
"Then we shall do so!!" She yelled standing up from the stool, knocking it over. It startled both me and Levy, taking us aback. We wanted to object, but the glimmer in her eyes made us suggest otherwise.
"But... Can't we do this another day? I mean; half the guild is here!" I pleaded, earning a glare from Erza.
"And?! Can't you wear that cloak thingy?"
"It won't stop a dragon slayer from sniffing me out." I conclude with a "I-told-you-so" voice. She frowned at my comment.
"Doesn't the cloak block your scent?" Levy chimed in.
"Sadly it doesn't." Erzas eyes slowly began to get full of enthusiasm.
"Then we'll put pepper on you!!" Erza yelled earning her glow back.
"Pepper?!?" I screeched.
"Sorry Lucy, but Erzas right. If we put pepper on you it will throw them off." Levy supposed. My lips form a frown and I send her a death glare.
"You guys are not drenching me in pepper." They both shake their heads hysterically, their eyes sparkling with excitement. "I'm not doing it!" Erzas excitement died down.
"Will you rather get caught or walk around with pepper in your hair?" I sigh in defeat.
"Pepper.."
