Disclaimer: It hurts to say that I don't own Fairy Tail.

Just to clarify on kids.

Gruvia-Nevan

NaLu-Renjin

GaLe-Metallina

The doors of Fairy Tail slowly expanded to open. The opener was a well known face with a set of red eyes framed on it.

The Iron dragon was in a good mood. Although, Gajeel's good mood is not injuring someone for staring at him for more than five seconds.

Gajeel headed towards the bar and took a seat.

"Beer," Gajeel grunted, but without his usual grumpiness, "Put a screw in it." The new father for five years added.

Ever since Gajeel and Levy got their blessing, the whole guild noticed that Gajeel wasn't as grumpy as usual. Don't get it wrong, he was still the usual row-starter and kept his teasing, but he was more relaxed and hardly went off for no reason.

But the temper was definitely there. A little call back to when someone accidently bumped into his little girl. The poor boy still has nightmares.

Gajeel took his drink and began to sip at it. Levy wanted him to cut down on his drinking, so he was savoring this.

"Hey, Rusty."

Gajeel took note of the Ice-Mage next to him. "Stripper." This was all the acknowledgement he gave him.

Gray turned towards Mirajane. "Just coffee." The notorious Stripper placed his chin on the palm of his hand.

Gajeel knew that face. It was the face of a tired father. Gray and Juvia's boy was four now and just began talking. Gajeel remembered this as when they would be up at all hours talking.

"How late?" Gajeel was had a curiosity with how other people were dealing with parenting.

Gray took a surprised look and then quickly realized what he meant. "Four. Might've been five."

Gajeel nodded. The latest he stayed up was six. He considered that this meant he won in some way.

"Where's Juvia?" Gajeel and Levy would occasionally have playdates with the Fullbuster family. Where Juvia and Levy would talk about their young ones and Gray and Gajeel would argue which was a better father. Usually Juvia would love showing their family together.

"She fell asleep with Nevan. She should be up in a few hours."

The duo was surprised by the noise from center of the guild. They turned their heads in irritation towards a fire breathing father.

"Yes!" Natsu yelled in victory. "I knew he could do it."

Natsu's son, Rejin, had managed to suck in a candle flame. Natsu wasn't egging him on, but he had been wondering if his son had inherited his ability. The child consume the flame with no-ones urging, it just happened.

"Keep it down!" Gajeel growled, his good mood disappearing.

"What was that, Scraps?" Natsu was in the mood to commemorate his son's achievement with a brawl. He left Renjin with Lucy, whom was too busy worrying about what their son just did to stop the argument.

"I said shut the hell up! Matchstick." Gajeel enjoyed a quiet morning and a rowdy night, not the other way around.

"You're just mad that Metallina can't eat iron yet." Natsu stated smugly.

That was not a smart move. Even when it came to little jokes, Gajeel never let anything about Metallina slide.

"Eats sometin when he doesn't even know what it is, just like his dumbass Dad." Gajeel shot back.

"Least Rejin's tough. Fell over and didn't even cry."

"Metallina's smart as hell. She's already lookin through Shrimps books." Gajeel was proud about every little thing his daughter could do.

The argument was interrupted by a snort from someone next to Gajeel.

"Got sometin to say, Cold Freak?"

"Nevan's obviously the smartest and the toughest." Gray became quite cocky when talking about his boy. "I mean, he can go out in the cold without barely anything on and he's already learning how to swim ."

"He doesn't mind the cold 'cause he inherited his dads stripping obsession." Gajeel replied in his teasing way.

"I say Metallina's probably going to inherit her dad's shitty guitar playing." Gray shot back.

"And I say Nevan's goin to be completely clueless." Natsu's insult was an obvious reference to the amount of time Gray took to realize Juvia's feelings.

A vein appeared in Gray's head. "Rejin, if he's anything like you, will probably need to be told to how use soap."

Gajeel spoke up next. "Probably need to be told how to use a freakin towel as well."

Gray's laugh was ceased by Gajeel.

"I'm guessing that Nevan's gonna need to learn how to not to freeze his girlfriend."

Gray remembered this incident. When he and Juvia first slept with each other, their magic conflicted. While it was hardly freezing, Juvia's body temperature dropped to chilling levels. She must have told Gajeel.

"I won't have to deal with perverts." Gray decided to bring up the fact that Gajeel was the only one to have a girl.

This particularly struck Gajeel due to the fact that there happened to be two boys right around his daughters age.

Natsu decided to jump on this opportunity. "Yea! Renjin might be looking for a girlfriend when he's older."

"Nevan too." Gray could tell that this was driving Gajeel crazy.

"Like either of those idiots is good enough for Metallina."

Natsu and Gray took a hard stare at Gajeel.

Gajeel had a superior smirk on his face. "Just the truth."

This drove Natsu from the point of verbal insults. The Fire dragon's leg connected with Gajeel's cheek.

A barrage of ice shards went towards with the Iron dragon at the same time. The attacked man quickly pulled Natsu in front of him to block the attack.

Natsu decided that this was intentional on Gray's part and turned the two on one fight into an all out feud.

The fellow guild members realized something. While they were less violent because of their children, they could become more violent because of them.
