The next day...

Minerva POV

I grabbed my keys from the plate before exiting the door.

"Sora, I'm going to the hospital!"

"Okay, have fun!"

I left our house and drove to Fairy Tail Hospital. Wendy admitted me into the daycare.

"You're not going to Adrian and Kai's birthday party?" She asked.

"Oh, right. I forgot it's their birthday today."

"You can go to their party. It's at the guild hall. I'm about to go there right now."

"It's okay. I don't think anybody wants me there."

"Why not?"

"It would be awkward if I was there. You know, Freed and I."

"It's not like the guild hates you. You guys broke up because you wanted different things."

"Yeah, I know. But I took the first shower in a week yesterday. If I saw him again, I'd probably lock myself in my bedroom."

"I guess I can understand that. He still misses you a lot, by the way."

"He does?"

"Very. Anyway, I have to go. Have fun!"

"Thanks, Wendy!"

I walked inside the daycare to see Athena run up to me.

"Hi, Moma!"

"Hey, Athena! Oh, I missed you so much! I'm sorry I didn't visit for a week."

"It's okay!"

I played around with Athena until someone spoke to me.

"I see you know Athena."

I looked up to see who it was.

"Yes. Who are you?"

"Oh, pardon me. My name is Carmen, and I'm the social worker for Athena."

"I didn't know Athena had a social worker."

"She started today. There is a family who's considering to adopt her."

"What?"

"She might get adopted."

"Wha- why?"

"Because she doesn't have a family?"

"Right."

"Who are you to Athena?"

"Oh, nothing. I visit her from time to time."

"That's nice of you. What's your name?"

"Minerva."

"Oh! You're Minerva from Sabertooth!"

"Yeah, that's me!"

"Wow! Oh my gosh! You're even more gorgeous in real life!"

"Awh, thank you!"

"Sorry, I must sound creepy. I'm a huge fan of you from Sorcerer's Weekly."

"Oh, that makes more sense."

"I have to go now, but it was lovely to meet you."

"It was nice to meet you too!"

Carmen walked away. I turned to Athena.

"A family is trying to adopt you. I don't know how I feel about that."

"No Moma?"

"I'm still here, sweetie."
