AN: Chapter 2!

So this chapter was fun to write, sorry about only really posting up once a week :\ been quite lazy and my job sucks lol. Anywhos! I'm hoping to have the next chapter up tomorrow!


Gajeel gripped Levy's waist lightly as he pulls her closer to his own body, nestling his face into her blue hair. He could hear every breath she took, he felt every heartbeat. He smiled to himself as he felt her in his arms. His ears picked up the tiny sound of little feet padding up the stairs to their room. He quickly yet quietly left Levy's side and got off the bed to find a pair of boxers to put on, along with some pajama pants. As soon as he tied the silk strings to his pajama pants, the door opened slowly, two hazel eyes peeking through the crack. Gajeel laughs lightly to himself as he walks over to the door, opening it and peering down at Lily who was gripping her tiny blue blanket close to her chest, her hazel eyes filling up with tears. Gajeel knelt down, putting a hand to her head.

"What's the matter Lil?" He asked quietly. Lily sniffled as she looked up at her father with fearful eyes.

"I had a bad dream… and… I think there are monsters in my closet again..." She sniffles as she wipes her tears away with the back of her wrist. Gajeels' eyes soften as he smiles at Lily. He picks her up and holds her in his large arms.

"Why don't you sleep with mommy and me tonight? Tomorrow morning we can check out that pesky closet of yours." Lily smiled and hugged Gajeels' neck tightly. Gajeel took her back to the bed and set her down lightly. Lily made her way under the covers, snuggling close to Levy's backside. Gajeel climbed in, pulling the large blanket over his body, he moved in close to the two of them. Lily had fallen asleep almost immediately between her parents. Gajeel brushed some black hair away from her face, his smile growing on his face as his eyes became heavy once more. The two scents next to him began to invade his nose. Levy's sweet smell with a hint of ink and old books. And Lily, her scent was a combination of them both. A slight scent of iron, but the sweet smell Levy possessed with the hint of books. Lily was like her parents in so many ways; Gajeel couldn't help but feel proud. His thoughts began to subside as sleep finally claimed him once more.


The alarm was going off in Lucy's room. Her tired eyes opened slowly and shut again, trying to avoid the sun's rays peeking through the window. Her hand searched for the snooze button, hitting it hard and letting her hand drop off the side of the bed. She let out a groan as she sits up slowly. Her pink tank top strap falling off her shoulder, her blonde hair falling over her light skin. She brings a hand to her mouth as she yawns. She turns to face Loke who was still sound asleep. He was laying on his stomach with his arms underneath his pillow. Lucy put a small hand on his back and pushed against him lightly. "Hey, you getting up?" She asked. His response was a mere moan as he pulls the blanket over his head. Lucy sighed lightly as she made sure the alarm clock was turned off and got out of bed.

She put on a robe and walked out to the kitchen. She prepares breakfast for the two of them and sets up their dining room table. She walks back to the bedroom and sticks her head in. "Loke, come on we've got a lot to do today. I've made breakfast and it's on the table." All she got was silence in return. 'Maybe I should give him a few more minutes to sleep in…' She walks back over to the table and sits down. She lightly loads her plate up with breakfast food and begins to eat.


Lily pulled Gajeel into her room, pointing at her closet. "They're in there daddy!" Gajeel walked past her and turned his arm into an iron bat. He walked over to the closet door and swung it open. Lily clung to her blanket and hid at the end of her bed post. He poked his head in and looked around. After a minute he turned around and shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't see nothin' Lil… maybe it was just your-"Gajeel fell backwards into the closet, acting like he was being pulled into the closet. He struggled with the clothes on the hangers, somehow wrapping a few around his scarred arms. Lily jumped up quickly and ran over to the closet.

"Daddy! Let my daddy go you meanie monsters!" She grabs onto one of his legs and pulls with all of her might. Gajeel stops struggling and laughs loudly. He frees himself and picks up Lily who had tears in her fearful eyes.

"Oh Lily… be brave. You know there aren't any monsters in the closet."

"But… I could hear them in there…they were making strange noises last night."

Gajeel raised a studded brow. "Lily there aren't any monsters in the closet… the only thing that was going on last night was…er…" His face turned red as he turned his head away from his confused daughter.

"What are you talking about daddy?" She asked as she turned her head to the side slightly.

Gajeel set her down and pats her head, smiling widely. "Don't you worry about it tiny Shrimp. You'll find out one day."

She stomps her foot on the ground and makes a fist in both of her hands. "But I wanna know now!"

Gajeel stood up and crossed his arms across his chest. "I said don't worry 'bout it."

Lily began to have a tantrum as she stomped around her room, yelling loudly. "I wanna know! I wanna know! I wanna know!" Gajeel's brows crossed in anger as he looks down at Lily. He raised his voice to her as he spoke.

"That's enough Lily!" Lily stopped in her tracks and looked up at her father. Fear went down her spine as she looked at the towering man before her. She put her head down and looked at her feet, knowing she had gone too far. He sighs as he rubs the back of his head. "Just… get dressed and come get something to eat."

"Ok…"

Gajeel kneels back down and puts a hand on her head. She looks directly at him with her hazel eyes. He puts on a smile and sincerely speaks to her. "I love you kiddo…"

Lily smiled warmly at him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I know daddy. I love you too."

Levy was standing in the doorway with her hands at her side. "Is everything ok in here?"

Lily turns with a smile on her face. "Yes everything is fine Momma! Daddy was getting the monsters out of my closet for me." Levy smiles and nods her head before she leaves to go back to the kitchen. Gajeel stood back up and started to follow Levy, stopping at the door he looked back.

"You still gonna come help me make dinner tonight Tiny?" He asked with a smile.

Lily held a thumb up and smiled back. "Yes sir!"

Gajeel left the room and went straight to the kitchen. Pantherlily and Levy were finishing up making French toast and eggs. Gajeel comes up from behind Levy and wraps his arms around her waist. He plants a kiss on the back of her neck. "Your daughter might have heard us last night…"

Levy blushed slightly as she felt his hot breath on her skin. "Well it was your fault! You initiated everything last night…"

"Have either of you considered that Lily might have some form of dragon slayer magic in her? Her hearing is quite good. Almost as good as yours Gajeel." Pantherlily said as he drank some of his kiwi juice.

Levy puts a finger to her chin. "Hmm.. I honestly didn't think about that. She never showed any signs of having magic other than her hearing… what do you think Gajeel?"

Gajeel grabbed a plate that was set aside for him. Levy would always make some extra special food that had iron pieces in everything. He took his plate to the table and sat down. "She could have some magic… no way to tell until she's a bit older." He picks up his fork and sticks it right into the piece of French toast. Levy sighed and looked back at the food.

"I had kind of hoped she would be a normal child…" Levy's cell phone began to go off as she was thinking to herself. She quickly wiped off her hands on her apron and answered her phone. "Hello? Oh hey Lucy. What's up?... Oh… really?... Hm.. let me ask really quick." She takes the phone away from her face and turned to Gajeel. "Hey, would you mind watching Lily today? Lucy needs my help today." Gajeel nodded his head and Levy brought the phone back up with a smile. "Yes I can meet up with you. Alright. Yep. I'll see you in a little bit." She hangs up the phone and grabs a plate for herself, sitting down to eat her breakfast.


Lucy was sitting outside of the small restaurant she used to work at, Fired Up. It was too early to be open, but since Natsu and Lisanna had agreed to cater for her wedding, they all decided to meet up early to test out the different food and cake samples. Levy comes running up to Lucy and smiles. "Hey, so, why couldn't Loke join you with this?" She asked kindly. Lucy let out a heavy sigh.

"I don't want to talk about it…." She grips the side of her hair and groans. "He's been driving me crazy! I tell him that we have to do the catering today, we have to get the dress final fitting and his suit adjusted, we have to meet up with the wedding planner and just so much more…" She sighs again. "He knows we don't have a lot of time and yet he still chooses to sleep in! All I have to say is that he better eat the food I made him this morning." She turned to Levy who had a look on her face. Lucy laughed nervously as she rubbed the back of her head. "Sorry… can you tell I'm stressing out over this yet?"

Levy smiled and hugged her friend. "Don't forget that I said I would help out Lu. So let's get whatever you need done today, done!" She takes Lucy's' arm into her own and walks her into the restaurant. Natsu, Happy and Lisanna were waiting for them at the tables. All three of them gave the two girls a bright smile.

"Good morning you two. Will Loke be joining us today?" Lisanna said sweetly.

"Nope just us girls!" Levy replied.

"Well in any case! Happy and I have cooked up a ton of food for you guys to try! And Lisanna made an awesome wedding cake! Am I right Happy?"

"Aye Sir!" Happy said excitedly as he raised a paw. Lisanna just smiled and waved a hand.

"Come on Natsu, you know I made sample cakes for them to try. Now then, why don't we just get to the food first then try the cakes."


Gajeel walked over to the sink and washed his dirty dishes as Lily ate her French toast and eggs. Pantherlily was sitting at the table and reading one of his books. "Say Pantherlily… could you watch Tiny for a little while today? I need to go somewhere for a little bit and I don't think it's kid friendly."

Pantherlily looked up at him and questioned him almost immediately. "It better not be a place I'm thinking about Gajeel… you're a married man for god's sake."

Gajeel turned quickly and growled. "You honestly think I do that still?! That was a long fucking time ago, before I even met Levy!"

Lily looked up at Gajeel and pointed a finger at him. "Daddy you said a naughty word!"

Gajeel sighed and reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar. He placed the dollar into a small jar labeled the swear jar.

"Well… how long are you planning on staying out?" Pantherlily asked.

"Probably a few hours… I'm just going into town for something."

Pantherlily sighed, "Alright…but as long as you're back by 3pm."

Gajeel smirked as he looked at Pantherlily. "Why? You gotta hot date or something?"

Pantherlily blushed slightly and raised a paw to Gajeel. "No! I'm just supposed to meet up with Carla and Happy today." Gajeel laughed and grabbed the dirty dish from Lily who had just finished her breakfast and went into the living room with one of her favorite books.

"Whatever you say lil buddy… whatever you say…I'll call you before I come back home." He went up to his room and grabbed a shirt and his wallet, shoving it into his pants pocket before running back down stairs. He goes over to Lily and kisses her head lightly. "I'll be back in a bit. You be good for your uncle ok?"

"Ok." She said sweetly as she shoved her nose into the large book. Gajeel said goodbye to Pantherlily as he walked out of the house. He hit the small button on his keys to unlock the car door. Gajeel climbed into the black car and started it up. One of the CD's the band had made was still in the CD player. 'Levy must have driven this thing last…" He thought with a smile. He turned the music down slightly and started off towards his destination.

It didn't take Gajeel long to reach the small shop that was next to the general store and pet store across the street. He parked the car, and stepped out. He looked up at the large green and black sign called Inked Souls. He grins to himself as he shuts his car door and locks the car before entering.

There was just one man at the counter. He wore a mask that covered his eyes and he had his tongue sticking out as he spoke to his…companions... There were five little doll like figures that reminded Gajeel of a totem pole. All of them had a different expression and look about them. He walked right up to the mad clad in purple and black fabrics. He set down a piece of paper and pointed at the names scribbled on it. "Can you make a word design for these two names?"

The man smiles widely and leans back in his chair, holding out his arms. "Of course I can! You came to the right place!"

"Right place! Right place!" The dolls said in unison.

"Just take a seat and I'll be back in a few minutes with a design." The man snatches up the piece of paper and calls for his little minions to follow him into the back. Leaving Gajeel alone up front to scope out some of the man's work.

The man came back minutes later holding out two pieces of paper. "Alright I came up with this design, so let me know what you think of it." He handed Gajeel the paper, who looked at it for a second and handed it back. "What? You don't like it?!"

Gajeel smirked and laughed slightly. "Not at all… this design is perfect."

The man grinned right back and lifted up part of the counter to let Gajeel through to the back of the shop. "Well then. Let's get this started and I can have it done in about an hour!"
