Wow I feel so proud of myself! Another prompt in two days….Nah I'm kidding. Anyway Since the prompt for today during Gajevy Week was Nursing, this was the first thing that popped into the chaotic mess I call my brain (I'm a Pisces don't judge). I do have another prompt piece for Nursing ….(Yeah three-day weekend)! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: ...Meh, Y'all should know it by now...


Feb 15 Prompt 2 Nursing Piece 1

A small cry broke through the quiet night, waking up the parents as the larger of the two dragged the arm that was resting over his wife's waist to clamp on to a pillow to cover his sensitive ears. "Shrimp…" He growled sleepily.

"I know. I know." Levy murmured, letting out a squeaked yawn as she let her body stretch before getting up, rubbing her eyes as she made her way to the room next door. Despite the lack of light, Levy navigated into the room with ease to the quaint bassinet that was in the middle of the room. Peering over the soft framing, she reached and gently picked up her crying baby boy. "Shhh shhh. It's alright Temujin. Mama's got you." She quietly rocked him in her arms, moving to the nursing chair that was situated next to the window, the full moon casting a gentle glow on it. As she sat and made herself comfortable, Levy noticed Temujin's cries died down to whimpers as he began to nuzzle her breast, his mouth open and searching. Levy shrugged her night slip strap to loosen the fabric enough to where she could slip her arm through to expose a nipple. Temujin did the rest as he latched on and began to greedily suckle. Levy looked on to her son as she began to slowly rock the chair back and forth, humming a soft tune with a smile that matched the warm glow she was unknowingly radiating: the glow of a mother bonding with her baby.

"Now I know I must be dreamin', cuz this too beautiful to be real." A sleepy growl cut through the quiet silence of the room.

Levy looked up to see the ruby eyes of her husband glow faintly with pride and a sense warmth that seemed to be there since the birth of the children as he was lazily propped up his shoulders against the door frame before he shifted his large frame to walk over to them, pulling the ottoman slightly to be closer to his wife as he sat.

Levy still kept the smile on her face as she talked softly. "You didn't have to get up, Gajeel."

Gajeel lightly clicked his tongue in a slight rebuttal. "Nice try Shorty. It doesn't fit right that you're the only one up with our brat. 'Sides, the bed's more comfy with ya in it and who passes up a free show to see their woman without a top on." He added cheekily.

Levy could only sigh and shake her head. "My husband, ever the romantic." She added with sarcasm.

"Gihihi." He grinned impishly.

Levy looked back to the bassinet as she felt Temujin slowdown in his feed. "I'm kind of surprised Zahara didn't wake up with Temujin like she usually does."

Gajeel hummed an agreement as he nodded.

Ever since the twins were brought home five months ago, one thing stood out to Gajeel and Levy: they did not like being separated from each other too long. It didn't matter if the one of the twins was on the other side of the room with a parent, they would start fussing and crying if they were gone from each other for more than a few minutes. It stood out even more when they were put down for naps and sleep that they didn't like being in separate bassinets. It baffled both Gajeel and Levy as to why they couldn't calm them down until Lily had suggested putting them in the same bassinet, and sure enough once they were settle against each other, Zahara and Temujin snuggled into each other and within seconds they were asleep.

Levy assumed that it was a twin thing, seeing as how she had seen and read a couple of books on the special connection between twins while Gajeel had no idea. Sure, dragon hatchlings stuck close to each other after hatching but he had never heard of twin dragons, let alone twin dragon slayers being this close. It was something that both astounded and confounded the family.

Just as Levy finished speaking, another small cry came from the bassinet.

"I got her." Gajeel hefted himself up to reach down into the bassinet and gently lifted his daughter into the crook of his arms, her tiny fists shakily beating the air as the scarlet flush colored her cheeks to contrast her blue hair. Gajeel began to growl softly, almost like a purr, to calm her down. "Sounds like she's hungry too."

"And just in time." Levy answered as Temujin stopped feeding, letting the breast slip from his small lips before he nuzzled against the heartbeat that was beating into his ear and settled down.

"Here…," Gajeel gently shifted Zahara into Levy's other arm as he in return gathered his son into his hands and settled him against his shoulder, the pitch black fuzz tickling his ear as he began to carefully pat and stroke Temujin's back to burp.

"Thanks Gajeel." Levy spoke as she adjusted her gown to cover her exposed breast and switched to the other side to allow Zahara to nurse, the little one whimpering slightly before beginning to nurse hungrily as well. After getting comfortable again with the baby, Levy felt eyes on her before she looked up to see Gajeel gazing at her with a mix of emotions in his eyes that she could quite place. She saw the familiar twinge of love in there but there was also a piece of lust as well as adoration in the light of his ruby eyes. If she didn't know any better, she would have placed the look as someone seeing a vision for the first time. "What is it?" She questioned.

He only shook his head. "Nothin'. Just…,"He stopped before continuing again. "Ya know I never get tired of this."

"Of what? Getting woken up at odd hours of the night?" She light jibbed, shifting Zahara a little bit as she felt her beginning to slow in suckling.

"Gihihi very funny, Shrimp." He retorted back. "I meant watching you hold our brats close while they feed from ya. Like I said, it's a beautiful sight." Before he could comment any further, a not-too-quiet belch echoed through the room, making Gajeel laughing a bit with pride. "Definitely my son."

"No one was denying that, Gajeel. Just don't tussle him too much or he won't go back to sleep." Levy commented off-hand with a small as she felt her nipple slip from Zahara's mouth. Lifting her baby slightly up towards her shoulder, she readjusted her gown again before patting Zahara's back until she burped too.

Both Levy and Gajeel stood up to place the twins back into the bassinet, letting the basket gently sway back and forth. They could see Temujin gently snuggle closer to Zahara as she let out a tiny yawn before they drifted off into the welcoming arms of sleep. Gajeel stood behind Levy, letting his arms wrap around her as she leaned back into his broad frame, both watching over their children as they quietly basked in the quiet scene for a few minutes.

It wasn't long until Gajeel began to nuzzle the top of Levy's head, his lips peppering kisses down to her ear. "Have I told ya lately that you're incredible?"

Levy sighed as she felt her husband's lips trace her ear, growling on the sweet spot that lay hidden behind her ear and sent shivers racing up and down her spine. "Mmm, No but I was wondering how so?" She let out in a breath.

He traced his lips down to her nape, nuzzling into the junction of her neck where her mark laid, sending out an ever-so familiar spark racing through Levy's body. "Remember what I said earlier about watchin' you feed our brats was a thing of beauty. I lied. Watching as you feed them, it's beyond mere words. No…more like there are no words to describe it." He began stroking her shoulders in a soothing gesture that held such a deeper meaning than comfort before he brought his arms around her again, this time clasping a warm hand over her shoulder to bring her closer to him and letting his face rest against the crook of her neck.

Levy could feel the warmth that came off the hand that was holding her shoulder as well as from behind, like a blanket. She let herself sink into the warm and protective arms that held her so fiercely and yet so loving. She lulled her head to rest against his hand as she felt him rest against her nape. "My husband, ever the romantic." She sighed, this time without the ire.

Gajeel chuckled a bit before he turned his wife around in his arms. "Gihihi. How about I show you how much of romantic I really am back in bed?" He didn't give her the chance to respond as he tilted her chin up to capture her lips in a slow, heated kiss.

Levy moaned a bit as she felt his tongue sweep across her bottom lip, leaving no resistance from her as she opened her mouth and let her own tongue meet his halfway, prompting a growl out of the iron dragon slayer before she broke away to catch her breath. "I wouldn't mind a show, but how about we move someplace more private."

"Gihi, Woman I love it when ya talk dirty."

Not wanting to break the sensual contact, Gajeel bent slightly down to bring Levy up into a bridal carry and began to exit his brats' room, leaving a small night light that held a beautifully decorated jeweled dragon ornament to glow against the dark blue-purple color mix of the walls to start the trek back to their own bed and to give his petite mate a good 'seeing to'.


Again review my duckies!
