The position the two were in, having no one but themselves was perfect in Romeo's mind. He couldn't think of a better place to be at that moment; he honestly thought that his life was perfect and others tended to agree with him. He turned his head slightly to get a better look at Wendy, who had her head against his chest and legs sprawled across the couch. She was so beautiful in his eyes and he promised himself that he would do whatever it took keep her and their child safe. She stirred slightly, placing one of her hands on her stomach she took Romeo's with the other and guided there as well.

"The baby's kicking a lot today," she said smiling at her husband.

"Well we know one thing it's going to be a fighter just like us," he stated proudly.

"I'm getting tired of calling our unborn child an it."

"I know but you're the one who wanted to be surprised remember? If you listened to me we could have had Bickslow tell us what it was with those soul seeing eyes of his."

"I know but it's better if the gender is a surprise."

"Then stop worrying about it," he said giving her a kiss on the head, "besides we'll find out in a few weeks anyway."

"You're right; I should just take my mind off it."

"I think I know just how you can do that."

He moved from his position much to his wife's displeasure and reached to the album that they put on the table.

"We haven't really gone through this thing together in a while so how about we see what else is in here."

Silently agreeing Wendy sat up as Romeo began flipping through the pages. While they were going through the pages Wendy noticed that as they got further and further the pictures of them were changing. They went from kids to teenagers to finally the young adults they were now. Romeo suddenly stopped flipping through the pages a smiled warmly at a picture. Wendy took a closer look and saw a picture of the two of them hugging in South Gate Park but Romeo was covered in scratches and bruises.

"That was one of the happiest days of my life," Wendy said smiling.

"Yeah and it was one of the most painful days of mine."

Wendy had left on a job with Lucy and Levy so they could have as they put it a girls' day out. Sitting at a table alone, Romeo who was now twenty six was waiting for someone but it wasn't Wendy. He was actually waiting for her exceed companion Carla so that he could talk to her. When she flew into the guild and landed on the bar, Romeo got up and walked over to her. While he moved he noticed the ever growing distain on Carla's face. Even though he and Wendy had been dating for nearly a decade she still held a grudge against him but she secretly knew that there was no one better for her.

"Hey Carla," Romeo greeted getting up to the bar.

"What do you want Conbolt," she asked coldly.

"What makes you think I want something?"

She shot him a glare and extended her claws making him cringe slightly in fear, "Okay fine, you along with two others are the closest things Wendy has to a family and since you're the least scary I figured I'd ask you for it first."

"Ask me for what?"

"Your blessing"

"What do you need my blessing for?"

"Carla I want to ask Wendy to marry me; please tell me I have your approval."

For what seemed like an eternity; Romeo stood there waiting for her answer. In the next instant Carla was scratching up his face with her claws causing the young man to scream in pure agony. The entire guild for a brief moment to see what was happening before they all went back to their own business. When Romeo finally got back to his senses he just stared at Carla completely dumbfounded.

"Was that your extreme way of saying no?"

"On the contrary Conbolt; you have my full support."

"Really, that's great but why did you scratch my face up."

"I just needed to get all my frustration out before you two actually got engaged."

Romeo just gave her a flat look as she went on, "By the way who are the other two you were planning to ask?"

As if they were on cue both, Natsu and Gajeel came into the guild with their two kids holding onto their hands. Both of them had gotten married to their respective girlfriends about five years and they both had kids a couple of years afterward. Natsu and Lucy had a daughter named Kaen who took after her mother when it came to looks but still inherited her father's salmon colored hair. Gajeel and Levy had a son named Tetsu who seemed more like his quite mother than his loud and boisterous father. Both of them had gotten noticeably more mature since they became parents but they still had a tendency to get into stupid fights about stupid things. Romeo was hopping that since the two Dragon Slayers had gotten more mature over the years that they wouldn't kill him for asking Wendy to marry him.

"Well here goes nothing," he whispers to himself, "Hey Natsu Gajeel, can I talk to you for a second?"

Wendy had just gotten back from her job with Levy and Lucy when she was handed a note from the woman who worked at Fairy Hills.

Dear Wendy,

I hope that your job went well and that you're alright. Listen, if you're not too tired come by South Gate Park; I have something really important to talk to you about.

Love,

Romeo

Not knowing what else to do, Wendy simply bowed to the woman and stated walking to South Gate Park. She had no idea what he was planning and she was a little worried at that fact; however, her doubts quickly faded when she saw him. As she moved closer she began to notice bruises and scratches on him and she quickly broke out into a sprint.

"Romeo what happened?" she asked when she got to him.

"I just got into a little fight that's all," he answered trying not to show his obvious pain.

"A little fight, you're covered in bruises," she exclaimed, "Who did this to you?"

"Well…"

It didn't take Wendy long to connect the dots. From the scratches to the bruises to the suspicious burn mark on his fore arm, Wendy had no doubt about whom the culprits were, "It was Natsu Gajeel and Carla wasn't it?"

He just looked at her amazed, "You figured that out really quickly; remind me never to try hiding something from you."

"When I get my hands on those three…"

"Wendy calm down. I let them do this to me; it was the only way I could get what I needed from them," he told her.

"What's so important that you'd let them beat you up for it?"

"You"

"I don't understand."

"Wendy, I love you so much; you are kindest, gentlest most beautiful girl in the world. When I'm with you I feel like I can do anything; so I need to ask," He got down on one knee and pulled out a small box; when he opened it the ring that was inside immediately made Wendy start tearing up, "Wendy Marvell, I want to spend the rest of my life with you; will you marry me?"

She didn't know what to think but one word immediately came to mind, "Yes"

Slipping the ring onto her finger, Romeo stood up and Wendy's arms instantly wrapped around him in a tight hug. He cringed since she was putting pressure on some of his bruises but his feeling of pain was dulled by his pure joy at that moment. The two kissed unaware of the two spectators. Natsu and Gajeel had left the kids with Lucy and Levy while they decided to spy on the newly engaged couple.

"I'll kill that guy if he even thinks about hurting Wendy," Gajeel stated with a menacing looking fist.

"I'll help you with that but right now let's just be happy for them," Natsu said putting a hand on his shoulder.

When Romeo and Wendy stopped kissing Natsu took the opportunity to take out the camera lacrima that he brought with them, "Okay, perfect time to get a picture."

"Flame Brain, why'd you even bring that thing?"

"Because Lucy would kill me if I didn't get a picture of this."

"Click"
