For @impracticaldemon I ( @trinityvermillion) was your secret sibling for the Graylu gift exchange! I hope you enjoy it! I’m sorry it’s not very long! >.<
Lucy’s P.O.V.
Toss and turn, fluff pillows up, adjust blankets, adjust pillows, find a reasonably comfortable position, and try to fall asleep. Wake back up for an unknown reason, and repeat the cycle. How many times have I done this tonight? Four times? Five? I’ve lost track at this point of the night. I roll over to check the time, thinking that my alarm will go off soon…
3:02 a.m.
…Crap. My alarm is set to go off at 9:00 a.m. so Gray and I have time to head back to town in the afternoon, and with my sleeping pattern and writer's block that has been bugging me for 6 months now, there’s no way I’m gonna look well-rested to Gray. Knowing him, he’ll delay our trip back just to make sure that both of us are 100% healthy.
*Knock Knock Knock*
Who’s knocking on my door at this hour? I clamber out of bed and head to the door, only to open it and find Gray on the other side. “Heya Lucy, did I wake you?”, Gray said in a tone that sounded a little scared. I shook my head, “No you didn’t, Gray. I actually was just using the bathroom, so I was already awake. Why are you down here, if I may ask?”
“I… um… I couldn’t sleep. This place reminds me too much of my old house, so I was wondering if you wanted to head home earlier than planned? I can find a carriage to take us back to Magnolia.” I stopped him before he could continue rambling on. “If that’s what will make you comfortable Gray. I’ll pack up the rest of my stuff and get changed.” Gray nods his head, and before he turns away to go find a carriage, he asks one more question. “Hey, babe? Is it alright if I stay with you for the night when we get back?” I blush at the sudden question, turn to him and give him a smile. “Of course, my brave little polar bear. I would love that.” He glares at me for the nickname, internally cursing Natsu for giving me that idea. I giggle at his response and head over to him to give him a kiss on the cheek. As soon as I hear the door shut, I start changing my clothes. One question pops into my mind as I look down at my engagement ring while I’m changing…
… I wonder how Gray will react when I tell him I’m pregnant?
