AN: I recently started thinking back about the time I had a miscarriage. Which lead me to start to wonder what it would be like if the Thunder Tribe boys ended up having to go through it also. Plus do note that this is mpreg and is a threesome between Laxus, Bixlow, and Freed. So if you don't like any of those please hit the back button now. The other warning I must give for this story is it does have some darkness to it. So it might be triggering to some people. The point of view may change during this; I will add a small warning to let you know who it switched to. But this story is mostly going to take place in Freed's point of view.

I do not own any of the characters within this story. All characters are created by Hiro Mashima. I only take claim to the OCs (i.e. the children) and the plot of this story.

Chapter 1

Freed leaned down to kiss his one year old son. His son, Rayner, whined as he tried to push his mother away. Freed could hear Laxus and Bixlow both chuckling at the little ones actions. "Mom…" He pulled away to look down at his son. Rayner huffed as he cross his arms and looks way from everyone with a small blush on his cheeks. Glancing over to the oldest, Coyote, who was teasing his brother. Shaking his head before leaning down to kiss Coyote on the cheek. Which had Rayner snickered at Coyote.

He knew he was a mother but yet he also knew that his job as a mage came first. He wanted to stay home with his sons. Or at least one of them could stay home with them. But this mission requested the Thunder Tribe, and since they all got the clean bill to be able to go back to work. Even though he was hiding a secret from them all. His hand instantly went up to rest on his stomach but he forced it way. Sensing eyes on him he glanced up to notice that Laxus was looking at him with questioning eyes. Smiling widely at his husband and giving a small shake of his head. At that very moment Bixlow chimed in saying, "We'd better getting going before we have to drag him out of him."

Laxus picked up his travel bag and threw it over his shoulder. As he walked by his boys he reached out to rub the top of their heads. Bixlow smiled at the both of them before telling Coyote to make sure Rayner stays safe and to not get into any trouble. Freed quickly corrected Bixlow by saying that Rayner will be the one looking out and making sure his older brother doesn't get into much trouble with his great-grandfather and the rest of the guild. Since Coyote always seemed to be the one trying to get in trouble from the moment he could crawl.

It was a long trip to their job. Laxus slept the whole time with his headphones on, only stirring every once and while to pull Freed back down onto the breach next to him. Freed would huff at him in those moments, while Bixlow would only softly chuckle and shake his head. He only wanted to call and check on his boys, even if it was almost every five minutes. Laxus and Bixlow both reassured him that they are okay and in good hands. Even if there was a small bit of worry over what his grandfather might do with them. Or teach them.

Upon reaching the town they met up with the client. Everything was going perfectly. A little too perfect for their tastes. It was a job to clear out a dark guild that had been kidnapping woman and children. Some of the woman that had returned, or escaped alive, told how they were subjected to torture and even rape. For this the mayor had wanted the dark guild taken care of in whatever way possible. He didn't care how as long as the townspeople were returned safely home to their families. Seeing as Freed was the best and closest to be able to pass as a woman he volunteered to be the bait for the dark guild. With a small fight from their dragon, Laxus finally allowed him to be the bait. Bixlow's babies kept a close eye on Freed every night, staying hidden and out of sight. Both Bixlow and Laxus knew that they'd be able to track Freed down the moment he was taken. They had no doubt in their mind. It took a couple of nights for Freed to finally gain the eyes of the dark guild on him. The moment the dark guild members appeared in front of him Freed instinctively want to fight them off and protect himself. But he knew he could fully reveal who he was or they'd never find the guild hall. However he did still put up a small fight, just enough to still play the role. The effects of the sleep spell where quickly activated on him. The last thing he could remember was falling to the ground as he passed out from the spell.

*POV LAXUS*

Bixlow's babies had quickly notified Bixlow of what had happened and took them to the place where Freed last was. Laxus was quick to pick up the trail of Freed's scent. They both followed the scent until it vanished. This had the dragon within him growling and clawing in anger, panic, to even fear over its missing mate whom was in harms reach. They both knew they had to find Freed quick. Both of them split up searching the area where the scent had vanished. Laxus went one way as lighting sparked off of him due to his anger. He knew he shouldn't have allowed Freed to do this. Was getting closer and closer to destroying the whole forest just to find him that he almost missed how his lighting bounced off of something. Turning he noticed every once and awhile his lighting would bounce off a barrier of some form. Walking over to it he placed his hand against it. Just as a feeling a dread passed over him. Something happened to Freed he could tell. Quickly he began to slam his fists against the barrier. With every hit the barrier held strong, but he didn't let up. He couldn't Freed was in there and something bad was happening to Freed.

Finally after awhile of strong attacks and a little bit of dragon force, he finally was able to break through the barrier. Charging head first in striking down anyone in his away with a massive lightning blot. He was finally able to pick up Freed's smell again but this time there was the scent of blood mixed in with it. Kicking down the massive iron door that hid Freed behind it, he froze in shock over the sight of his mate before him. Freed was a mess, a bloody mess. If it wasn't for his dragon hearing he would have almost swore that Freed was dead, but that very faint heart beat was enough to tell him he was alive. "So the famous Laxus Dreyar, has come to rescue his guildmate. Or should I say, husband." Laxus quickly growled toward the tall thin dark guildmaster. The guildmaster only laughed at the dragon slayer. "He paid the price for deceiving us. But like most things they all scream in the end of it all. Oh how he screamed for you and swore that you'd come for him. 'Laxus' " The guildmaster did his best impression of Freed as he called out for Laxus. This had the dragon within in raged and wanted blood. His eyes went white as he started to attack the male. But was stopped quickly by his other mate, Bixlow. He snarled and growled at him.

"Listen to me. I know you want to kill this bastard as much as I want to also. But right now isn't it." Laxus did his best to scare off his mate next to him, but Bixlow wouldn't move. "He needs you…" Bixlow's eyes shifted over to Freed. Evergreen was already looking over Freed trying her best to stop the bleeding. There was only so much that she could do for her teammate, she wasn't a healer that Freed needed. "Freed needs you right now." Hearing Freed's name had him looking over towards his dying mate. "You're the only one who can get him back fast enough." Some where deep in side of him he knew Bixlow was right. But the dragon in him wanted blood. Bixlow reached out and touched one of Laxus' scaled arms, causing him to turn and softly snarl before he noticed those green glowing eyes behind the metal slits of his helmet. Hidden behind those angry green glowing eyes he could see the fear and pain of the possibility of losing Freed. He could even faintly smell the salt from the tears that Bixlow tried to keep hidden. "Lax… please…" Bixlow softly spoke to Laxus. "Ever and I will make sure they pay in blood. Just… save him. We cannot lose him."

This had Laxus lowering his head to rest it against Bixlow's own. Taking in the scent of his okay mate had him slightly relaxing but now knew what he had to do. And he trusted both Evergreen and Bixlow would make them pay. "Kill him." Was the last order he gave Bixlow before he turned to take Freed in his arms. Freed whined in pain before he weakly started to fight against Laxus' hold on him. Laxus held him tightly against him as he bowed his head to gently nuzzle up against the side of Freed's face. "It's me, bookworm. We're going home." A soft purr rumbled in his chest even though he still was filled with rage. Freed finally relax against him and fell back to sleep against him. He could hear the laughter of the dark guildmaster as he vanished from that place. He tired his best to not hurt his mate worse then he already was, but he had to get home and to the guild's healers quickly.

*NO POV*

There was a massive thunder crash outside of the guild hall that had a few people looking towards the doors. No one expected Laxus to be back so quickly. The moment the guild doors came blasting open, it was like everything was moving in slow motion. The other three dragon slayers were at the feet, all of them sensing the dread coming from the older slayer that was mixed with the scent of blood. Makarov and Mirajane both stared wide eyed at the distortion of the guild door before their eyes landed onto the male within Laxus' arms. There was a gasp from Mira at the same time Laxus had growled out for Wendy. Wendy already was running over to the older slayer. With one look over the male in Laxus' arm had Wendy telling him to quickly take him the infirmary. "Jet! Get Porlyusica quickly!" Makarov's voice called out as he jumped down off the bar to follow his grandson up the stairs. Jet didn't waste a single moment as he used his speed magic to race off. At that same moment both Natsu and Gajeel shared a knowing look, while both of their females looked up at them. A small nod was all it took before they made their way also towards the infirmary doors. For a while they both had picked up on something different about Freed's scent for awhile, they could tell Freed was hiding something but didn't know exactly what it was. But it wasn't until Freed came in they both know right away what it was he was hiding from everyone.

Just at that moment five more people walked into the guild hall. Two small boys came running in first, followed by Bisca and Alzack and their little girl. They had taken the kids on an easy safe mission within the town. But when they all saw the lightning the boys wanted to rush home and meet their parents. Gajeel stopped at the stairs at the scent of the two boys. He turned and looked over at them as they scanned the hall for their parents. There was a small amount of sadness on the boys face when they didn't see their parents. "Where's Papa?" called Coyote at that same moment Jet flew by them. Which was followed by a loud growl that echoed throughout the hall. Both the boys looked up the stairs towards the voice they knew all to well and were about to move towards it. Gajeel was just about to stop them when he could hear Levy's words telling him to go and that she'd take care of them. Gajeel nodded as he turned and ran up the stairs. Levy looked towards Lucy and Mira who both instantly knew. Mira quickly went to work at making the boy's favorite foods and drinks. While Levy and Lucy picked up the boys and walked over to the bar with them. The boys did try to fight against the two women as they wanted to go to their father. Even if some where deep inside of them were scared of the sounds their father was making. Levy and Lucy went about to keep the entertained and distracted from what was going on upstairs. They knew in good time someone would come and tell them what was going on. But they also knew that right now their two parents didn't need them added into it also. It didn't take long for Bisca and Alzack to find out what was going on.

Inside of the infirmary, Laxus had laid Freed down on one of the beds. He held tightly onto his mate's hand. Wendy's hands began to glow as she activated her magic. Laxus would very occasionally growl up at her, but deep down he knew she wasn't hurting him nor would she. It wasn't until Jet came into the room carrying the old pink haired woman that had him quickly to his feet. Just as Jet had set Porlyusica down was the same moment he found the wind knocked out of him as he was pined to the wall with a snarling and growling Laxus. Jet reached up with his hands as he tried to pry Laxus' hand away from around his throat. He was gasping for air as both Natsu and Gajeel made their presence known. With their help Jet fell to the floor before he quickly crawled out of the room. Once he was out Laxus made his way back to the side of the bed.

What seemed like hours were only a few moments. Wendy and Porlyusica worked hard to save the man's life. When the blue glow of Wendy's hands went off, it had Laxus looking up to her. He could see the shock all over her face as she looked over to the older woman for confirmation in her findings. Porlyusica slowly nodded with sad eyes. "What! You can save him! Can't you!" Laxus snarled out at the both of them. Wendy slowly looked over at the elder slayer. Laxus could see the sadness in her eyes as she nibbled on her bottom lip and fiddled with her shirt. Trying to find the words to tell him was the hardest for her in that moment. She knew no matter how she'd tell him, it would cause the elder slayer to go crazy. "I'd do whatever it takes! You have to save him!"

Wendy looks back to Freed as she opened her mouth to speak. She stopped as she bit back the sadness that flooded her. "Freed…" she softly spoke out.

This had fear flooding Laxus at the thought of losing one of his mates. "Please… I cannot live without him."

"Freed is with child." Her voice was almost so soft that everyone nearly missed it. All of the dragon slayers on the other hand heard it loud and clear. They stared at her with wide eyes as the shock and surprised filled them all. But that didn't last long for it quickly chance the moment she spoke once more. "We… we cannot save them both." As she looked up to Laxus she noticed all pale he looked in that moment. "Laxus…" she spoke softly causing the elder slayer to look up at her, "It's either Freed or the baby. We need to know which to save."
