Sorry for the wait😊

~Lucy's POV

I woke up to Nash shaking me. I opened my eyes and I saw him covered in flour. I groaned. "How are the cookies?"

I looked around while he began explaining how he baked them with Lisanna. Yeah... I'm not hungry anymore when I discovered they mixed onions in it. "Why in Pete's sake onions?"

He shrugged. "We challenged each other to mix one weird ingredient in it. Who still has the best cookies wins!" He smiled slightly. I returned it, not commenting on it. Knowing him, who has the traits like Natsu, destroyed the cookies. "Have you seen Natsu?"

Where did he go? My face flushed when I remembered our last conversation. A daughter would be great, but if I can't, that would be fine too.

I smiled. I have Nash and Natsu.

Nash tilted his head questioningly. "I thought he was with you."

I gestured swiftly around me. "Well, your bastard of a father isn't here now, is he?" We both laughed. I studied Nash good while he was laughing. His smile was wider then before and he looked happy.

But features can deceive.

Some people have the skill that they can fake being fine. And believe me, Nash is a master in it.

"You think the worst, don't you?" I asked.

He flinched at me sudden question and looked everywhere but me.

I grabbed his hands and made him look at me. "Nash, it's okay to be scared, but don't worry, your father won't be kidnapped easily."

Wrong choice of words, Lucy. Seriously, are you an idiot? He was just kidnapped and you dare to say that word?

Chicken nuggets! I'm so stupid.

Nash's eyes went wide and he looked rapidly around, but it already seemed like he wasn't here anymore.

"Nash. Nash! I'm sorry, I'm stupid. Don't worry, we are all fine," I tried to calm him. My voice was laced with worry.

Nash blocked out my noise with holding his hands against his ear, he pressed it hard against his ear.

He went to a whole other world.

"Please... don't!" I heard him yell while tears falling down from his eyes. I think he felt like he was experiencing everything again.

I stood up from the bed and bent down. I immediately hugged him. He was in a sort of trance, he didn't react to my hug. But he did stop looking around and crying. The only thing heard were sobs.

"Shush," I said in a sweet voice. I made a mental note to not mention this word ever again, not until he has recovered.

"You have me. You are safe, Nash. I want you to take a deep breath and count all the good things you have in life," I said.

"I have you," he began, sobbing softly. "Dad, Gray, Erza, Reiki, Lisanna. I have my friends, a roof, food, education... I have a functioning body."

Eventually he managed to calm down. "I love you."

He tried to smile, forced once again. "So, who's Evelyn? Do you guys want to adopt another child? Am I not enough?" He pouted, shaking his head disappointedly. He made such an adorable face.

I gave him a poke. "You are more than enough."

He didn't give in. "Who. Is. Evelyn?"

I opened my mouth to give a vague answer again, but Natsu stormed inside. He looked relieved but also worried. "Let's go," he said. He grabbed my hand and Nash's before walking outside.

I almost couldn't keep up with the big steps he took. Nash was running to keep up.

"What's wrong?"

He smiled slightly. "Ice Pop woke up."

I grinned. Though they fight a lot, they're always there for each other... most of the times at least.

Nash feigned suspicion and gasped, "Are you leaving mum and me for him?"

I inwardly cried, he learnt so fast.

It took Natsu a while to comprehend what he said and he abruptly stopped. He swiftly wipped his head to Nash, a glare on his face. "Never, ever, say that again." Natsu showed a little bit of hurt, making me confused. This was a joke, he should understand that, right?

"Dad, I was joking," Nash defended himself. I could hear in the tone he used he was just as confused as I am.

"I'll never leave you. I won't make the same mistake."

Like my mother. He didn't say that, but it wasn't needed. He hates that part where they left him, and then finding out she faked it has to hurt. I feel for him.

Nash who finally understood what he meant, nodded.

The ride to Fairy Tail was silent, comfortable and uncomfortable.

Once we arrived we immediately went to Gray's room. Juvia was there, along with Erza and Wendy.

Wendy...

Wendy must think her mother is still dead.

I knew Natsu knew he had to tell her, but for now he ignored it. We all went to Gray's side of the bed. Natsu gave Gray a smack on the chest. He groaned in pain, moving his hands to his chest.

"I wake up and the first thing you do is hitting me?" Gray asked in disbelief. I chuckled when I saw Juvia coming dangerously close to Natsu. Her possessive aura - like always - is there along with protectiveness.

"You hurt Gray-sama."

Natsu held up his hand, to stop her for making a move on him. "He did with me last year, I wanted payback."

Natsu bent forward and placed his mouth near Gray's ear. He whispered something to him.

Gray's eyes widened and he looked surprised at Natsu. "Is this for real?"

Wait, did Natsy tell Gray Natsu's mother is alive? That is the only reason I could think of. Natsu nodded, "Yes, it is. I don't know what I think of it..."

I grabbed Nash's hands and led him to his room. "Can you play with Reiki? Mum has to be alone for a while," I told him sweetly.

Nash scoffed. "You say it like I hate Reiki. Sure mum. Are you okay?" I love how worried he sounds.

"Of course, Nash, I'm just tired." I feel like there is more. It feels like it isn't over yet.

"Of me?" His tone was said and he looked down.

I shook my head and turned around. "Oh Nash, I'll never get tired of. I just feel a little tired."

I walked around the basement, past all the rooms there are. I went to the cells. Natsu would be angry when he finds out I've been here, but that doesn't matter right now. I don't believe the enemy was completely taken down. I opened the door to Jason's cell.

The siblings were lying down and looking at the ceiling. They didn't even bother looking who entered. "Jason... can I ask you something?"

He looked up, surprised. He immediately sat up, Jessica too. "Lucy? What the hell is wrong? Why are we still here?" he shouted angrily. Jessica placed a hand on Jason's shoulder, to calm him down. "Don't take it out on her, try to trick her, so we can escape," she whispered. I always thought of her as the innocent kind. Guess that being stuck makes you change.

I laughed, I'm not that naive anymore. "I just want an answer to my question. And also, don't try it, sweetie," I began. My face full of humor turned into a dark smile. "Fairy Tail's leader listens to me, I can tell him to keep you here longer or set you free. I should watch your mouth."

They both gasped at me, not expecting it. I didn't either, but I want answers, one way or another. "Is that a threat?"

"It's a warning, Jason. Now answer, with who did Raven Tail work with?"

"What do you mean?" His tone implied something different though. He knows something.

"You know what I mean," I said. Just because Natsu thinks it's over doesn't mean it is. Not when I learned that everything has an other side.

"I don't, please, I swear."

"What's wrong?" Jessica asked confused to Jason.

"Jason, I'll get my answers. Please not let me use the hard way to get it."

Jessica glared at me, "Like you have any power." I raised my eyebrow. Before I opened my mouth Jason spoke.

"Some member of yours, I don't know who it is, but she was planning all of it. Raven Tail was supposed to get money and power out of it."

My face showed my confusion. "So the 'leader' was lying about his wife?" Those tears of him can't be fake.

He shook his head, "No, that was real. Only because of that he accepted it, what's better than revenge and getting something more?"

I sighed loudly and placed my hand on my belly. "Everything," I whispered.

I waited for him to speak further. "Jason, please, tell me who it is!"

"What can I get in return?"

I was filling with anger. He dares to ask that?

"You can keep your fucking sister," I shouted. No, I wasn't planning on using that, but he wouldn't cooperate. We totally went the opposite direction.

"Y-you... you wouldn't!" Jason exclaimed while holding Jessica tightly and protectively. Just to prove him wrong though he was right I turned around, ready to walk away.

"Watch me."

"I told you I don't know who it is!!" Jason screamed, stopping me from walking.

I was right, I was right the whole time. His next words comfirmed it.

"All I know is that that one 'member' just returned and had a connection with Natsu."
