A/N: It's been awhile since I've posted a fanfiction, but I've recently had some actual ideas for Fairy Tail and so I decided to just go for it. I love love love Juvia and Gray, I think Juvia is so sweet. Anyway I don't own Fairy Tail or any of these characters I hope you enjoy :).

"Juvia is sorry," she whispered against Gray's chest. Gray placed his hand lightly on the back of her head, holding her to him. Juvia was slouched on the floor of their bathroom, trying to hold back her tears.

"It's not your fault. It's no ones fault," he replied softly.

"It's not fair," she said quietly. "Lucy and Natsu don't have problems. Levy and Gajeel definitely don't have problems. So why us?" she said, her voice quivering. Gray could tell she was crying. "Juvia loves Gray so much," her voice was muffled as she pressed against him harder.

"It doesn't have anything to do with how much you love me or how much I love you," he said.

"Juvia really thought this time it would be true," she said sadly. He wrapped his arms around her tighter.

"We should sleep," he said and tilted her head up to see her eyes. She blushed a bit and wiped her eyes quickly.

"Juvia wasn't crying," she said quickly. He leaned in and slowly kissed her.

"It's ok, you don't have to hide it," he said softly.

"Juvia doesn't want to upset Gray," she whispered.

"You're not upsetting me," he said. "It upsets me more when you try and hide the fact that you're crying," he said.

"Juvia isn't fit to be Gray's wife," she quietly sobbed. She wrapped her arms around his back.

"Woah, Juvia, you're not unfit to be my wife," he said raising his voice. Juvia looked at him, her eyes wide. He moved his legs and pulled her into his lap. "If it doesn't happen...I know its hard but I will still love you and we will have each other. We could look at other options as well," he said quietly, even though he knew that wasn't what she really wanted. Juvia laid her forehead on his shoulder and nodded slowly. "You will never be unfit to be my wife," he whispered close in her ear, kissing it. Juvia slid her hands up his back slowly, bring her arms around his neck.

"Juvia will always love Gray," she brought her hands to his cheeks and kissed him passionately. She wrapped her legs around him and he picked her up, carrying her to the bed, still kissing her. They laid down together, kissing each other, desperately working together to forget their sadness.

It had taken him awhile, but after years of Juvia proclaiming her love for Gray, he finally realized that he loved her back. Gray had never been one to be extremely open about his feelings, so most of the time he had just felt overwhelmed by the amount of feelings Juvia would throw at him on a daily basis. It wasn't until Lyon had come to Fairy Tail to propose to Juvia that Gray had finally stepped in and admitted that he did, in fact, love Juvia back. There was no way Gray would've ever let Juvia go with Lyon.

Now, Gray and Juvia had been married for almost two years. Like most of their friends, they were trying to start a family, only it wasn't working very well. They had been trying for almost a year now, and unlike their friends, they hadn't had very much luck. Juvia was convinced it was because she didn't love Gray enough and spent much of her time reminding Gray how much she cared for him. (Though Gray believed she would say these things anyway, with or without the problem.) Gray was convinced it was his fault. Perhaps he had spent too much time frozen out in the cold. Whatever the reason was, Gray knew it was getting to Juvia more and more. Their intimate times were becoming more stressful rather than pleasurable, as Juvia would worry constantly if this would be the time that she might finally be able to become pregnant.

She was at the point where she would try anything. Levy had given her books about different methods and Juvia was going through,trying them all. She would force Gray to try ridiculous positions, half of which were never pleasurable. One had their legs twisted together, while he was on top of her and her butt was in the air.

"Juvia this isn't going to work..." Gray muttered, breathing heavily as he tried to keep his balance. She stared intensely at the book.

"No, no, Gray, Juvia's leg goes here," she said pointing. Gray sighed.

"Juvia, this is extremely unsexy," he said, aggravated that they weren't able to actually be intimate.

"You think Juvia is un-sexy?" she squeaked. Gray coughed, practically choking.

"No, no no! That's not what I was..." he protested heavily. Needless to say, that had been a disaster. Occasionally, they would finish and she would lie on her back with her legs in the air for an hour, even though Gray insisted it didn't make a difference.

It didn't help either that all her close girl friends were already mothers or expecting. Lucy and Natsu had 2 kids after only 3 years of being together and Gajeel and Levy had 3 after 5 years and were expecting a 4th. Gray knew Juvia wanted to be mom with her friends and he knew she'd be a good mom too. He wasn't so sure about his own skills as a parent, he had never really had a father figure in his life. Not that Ul didn't do a wonderful job, but Gray wasn't really sure what a father was supposed to do...but he wanted to make her happy. More than anything he wanted to make her happy. Gray felt awful that after all those years of making her wait for him to figure out his feelings, he was once again making her wait for something she wanted more than anything.

"So, any news Juvia?" Lucy asked hopefully, the next day when Juvia, Lucy and Levy were eating lunch together at the guild. Juvia shook her head back and forth quickly.

"It's a no again." Juvia held her tears back. She really didn't wanna cry in front of her friends. It wasn't that they wouldn't support her, but Juvia didn't want to bring down the good mood the girls already seemed to be enjoying.

"Oh no! Juvia I'm so sorry," Lucy said and immediate got up to hug the girl. Levy rubbed her arm.

"Juvia isn't good enough for Gray," she whispered quietly. Lucy pulled back from her hug.

"Are you kidding? I'm sure Gray doesn't care about this..."

"Not to say that he wouldn't be a great Dad!" Levy interjected quickly,

"What we mean to say is," Lucy began, "You and Gray are perfect, with or without kids. And I'm sure Gray doesn't feel that you aren't good enough for him." Juvia nodded a bit. Lucy and Levy looked at each other desperately trying to find someway to make their friend better. "You should...enjoy your time with Gray now without kids!" Lucy said. "Erza and Jellal don't even care about that and they just take jobs all the time, going on adventures together. It's pretty romantic!" Levy said, though all three girls knew that was a lifestyle that fit Erza and not Juvia.

"Plus you're not going to have sex as often," Levy said quietly laughing. Juvia blushed.

"Oh really?" Lucy asked sarcastically. "It really doesn't seem to be a problem for you and Gajeel," Lucy remarked. The girls laughed.

"Well anyway," Levy began, "having kids is such a chore and Gajeel is lazy. I do most of the work myself.

"Doesn't Gajeel have the kids today?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah but only because I basically forced him," Levy snorted.

"Forced? Or promised sex to?" Lucy teased. Levy gasped a bit and blushed.

"That's none of your business Lucy,"

"Juvia still wants to experience all these things for herself and with Gray," she said quietly. Levy and Lucy both frowned a bit. They knew they weren't helping much.

"We know," Lucy said sadly. "We wish we could help more." Levy nodded. Juvia sighed and hugged her friends.

"Juvia loves you for trying anyway," she said. "Juvia needs to just not think about it so much."

"Well it's hard we know..." Levy began.

"LUCY!" Natsu's sudden scream echoed through the guild. He kicked the door open and ran over to the three girls. "Come quick, Come quick, COME QUICK!"

"What!?" Lucy yelled, meeting him halfway in the middle of the room. Juvia and Levy could tell she was panicking.

"Ellie said her first word! She said it! I heard it!" Natsu cheered happily. The girls jumped up.

"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! I need to see right now!" She paused her cheering. "Natsu...where IS Ellie?" Lucy said.

"OH MY GOD!" As soon as Natsu had entered the room, he dashed out.

"DID YOU LEAVE HER OUTSIDE?" Lucy yelled, chasing after him.

"Never a dull moment," Levy sighed, laughing. "Those two are always so loud." Juvia nodded, laughing along with Levy. Lucy and Levy always managed to cheer her up somehow. They all followed Natsu outside where 2 1/2 year old Ellie was playing with her younger brother, Cam. They both were the perfect mix of Natsu and Lucy. Ellie had long blonde hair just like her mother and Cam was the perfect image of his father.

"YOU LEFT THEM BOTH OUT HERE? CAM IS BARELY A YEAR OLD!" Lucy yelled.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Natsu yelled back, still smiling. "But, but Ellie is starting to speak!" Lucy smiled suddenly remembering the whole reason why she had run outside in the first place.

"That's right!" Lucy giggled, picking up her daughter. "Ellie sweetie, say something to Mommy!" she cooed. There was silence. "What did she say Natsu?" Lucy asked.

"She said...gloob!" Natsu said proudly.

"Gloob?" Levy asked.

"Gloob!" Natsu proclaimed loudly.

"Glooooob," Ellie said quietly.

"SEE SHE JUST DID IT AGAIN!" Natsu cheered. Ellie laughed. Lucy frowned.

"Natsu! Gloob isn't a WORD," Lucy yelled again. "We can't go around telling everyone...'Oh yeah! Ellie said her first word...oh what was it you ask? It was gloob'" Natsu frowned.

"I still thought it was pretty cool." Levy and Juvia snickered trying not to laugh at Natsu. He was one of the most powerful wizards in the guild, but he was so childish at heart. Lucy sighed and smiled, approaching him slowly.

"It's ok, hun. Soon she'll probably say a real first word," Lucy said.

"That's going to be pretty exciting," Natsu smiled happily. All three girls nodded. As upset as she was about her own situation, she couldn't help but feel such a strong happiness for her friends.

"Surprise," Gray said sensually, wrapping his arms around Juvia's waist. He kissed her neck lightly. Her legs shivered a bit.

"G...Gray," she stammered. "What's going on?"

"Oh I don't know, I just saw my favorite girl standing in the kitchen and I thought it would be fun to sneak up on her," he said holding her tightly, kissing her neck again. Juvia pulled away and turned around to face him. "How was your day?" he asked. "Did you have fun with Lucy and Levy?"

"Juvia always loves her friends," she exclaimed happily and smiled. Gray kissed her lips softly.

"I know you do," he said. She kissed him passionately.

"Juvia loves kissing Gray," she giggled.

"I was under the impression that you hated kissing," he said pulling back.

"Oh Gray, you're so funny," she teased. He grabbed her hand and led her to the bedroom.

"I'm funny am I?" he said pushing her back against the bed. She fell back, bouncing slightly, Gray following her, hovering above her. He started kissing her neck and she closed her eyes, running her hand through his dark hair. She giggled a bit as Gray's breath tickled her skin as he kissed her neck.

"Gray is pretty funny," she breathed out. He leaned back about to take his shirt off when Juvia stopped him.

"Wait, Gray," she said holding her hand out. Gray blinked at her, confused. This was a first; it wasn't often that Juvia stopped him from being intimate with her.

"Yeah?" he said, removing his shirt anyway.

"What time is it?" she asked.

"I don't know, why?" he shrugged.

"Well I was reading that if you have sex at..." she began but Gray quickly cut her off with a kiss.

"Juvia, I know how much you want this. You know how much I want this too, but how about we just have night where we don't think about that stuff and just enjoy each other?" he said and ran a thumb across her cheek. She sighed.

"Well..."
"Please, for me?" he asked. He knew it was sort of manipulative; Juvia was always willing to do pretty much anything for him. She sighed and smiled a bit.

"Ok, for Gray," she said.

"Good," he kissed her. "I just want you to enjoy yourself," he said, kissing her, hard. Juvia sank into his kiss, loving everything about her Gray and forgetting every method she had had running through her head, at least for just this moment.
