*Knock knock* "Ultear, Meredy! Are you home?" I called.
A few seconds later, a woman with long dark and messy hair wearing wrinkled pyjamas and with dried drool on the side of her face opened the door looking really grumpy. "What is it? Geez, couldn't you have picked a later time to visit? It's what-" she says looking at the wall clock, "6:23 in the morning!"
Jellal just beamed at her and said, "Well, I was supposed to visit you when I got home from the mission but Erza said the baby needs his sleep so-"
"Wait, I don't think I heard that right, baby, you say?" I finally got her attention and she no longer looked drowsy.
Erza came from behind me carrying a sleeping baby with a head full of cerulean hair. Ultear squealed, then cooed at the baby, "Oh, aren't you a cute little baby. I wonder how your ugly daddy managed to produce a cute baby like you, huh? Must be your mommy's genes."
"Hey, that's not true! I'm also full of very attractive genes!" I protested. Erza just giggled at this. Ultear let us in while saying what a bad host she is not letting you in at once while I agreed which earned me a smack in the head. It turns out she wants us to contradict her when she says she's a bad host.
"Meredy! Meredy get up, Jellal came to visit!" she called.
"I don't care! I'm going back to sleep. Tell him to come back tomorrow!" she yelled back.
"Wow, I really am beloved around here, huh?" I said sarcastically.
Ultear just rolled her eyes at me and yelled, "He has a baby!"
As soon as Ultear said that, we heard a loud thud, like a body falling off the bed.
"That dork managed to do it with Erza? It can't be true." she yelled while running out of her room. When she saw the baby, she kneeled in front of Erza, who was sitting at the couch and cooed at it. While telling it how cute it was. By this time, the baby was awake and grabbed at Meredy's bright pink hair.
"The baby likes me, Jellal!", Meredy pouted, "I wanted a baby brother or sister for so long but Ultear just refuses to date anyone. I think she wants to be an old woman who keeps cats as company."
"Hey! That's not true, I went out on a date just a few weeks ago!" Ultear retorted. I laughed, Meredy snorted. "Who's the unfortunate man?" I asked. Ultear glared at me and Meredy giggled, "That wasn't even a date! You met Gray and Lyon at a restaurant and they just invited you to sit with them."
"Anyway, look at the cute baby. I might just adopt him ne?" Ultear says, trying to change the topic, but failing miserably. She should have known that a Titania for a mother would be very over protective over her baby. And saying you want to adopt her baby should obviously be chaotic. I shrugged as I watched Erza hand me the baby gently then requip into her Black Wing Armor the next. Eyes blazing with anger threateningly and sword pointing at Ultear. "You wanna do what to my baby?"
Meredy stepped in, waving her hands vigorously, "Ul-Ultear was just kidding, Erza." she let out a shaky laugh, "Your baby is the most adorable baby and all, but we-we wouldn't dare. No, your baby is all yours."
Erza, who seemed satisfied at this requipped into her regular blue pleated skirt and white blouse. "Come on Jellal, We're leaving." With that said, Meredy and Ultear let out a sigh of relief. I apologized, "Sorry 'bout that. But Ultear you should have known better than say something like that with Erza around."
"What was that, Jellal?" Erza glared at me. I was about to answer when she averted her glare to Ultear who shook visibly for quite a bit. "Go get yourself your own son and husband. Don't go around stealing mine." Ultear, Meredy, and I just gaped at her. She had already turned her back on us and uttered quite loudly, "You're married, Jellal. Now, come along."
Ultear just shook her head while exclaiming, "You're demented! I don't want your dorky husband. Your baby is cute but I was just kidding when I said I wanted to adopt it, Meredy is enough stress for me, you know?"
"Hey!" Meredy protested.
We had just finished our second visit today, which was Macbeth. But I was extremely tired already. Somehow, our visit with Ultear and Meredy which turned a normally protective Erza into a freakishly jealous and over protective mother and wife. The visit with Macbeth wasn't entirely tiring though, since he was still sleeping when we got there. He basically just peeked with one sleepy eye and said, "How nice, a baby. Goodbye."
Originally, we were supposed to go over Erik's right after Ultear and Meredy's since we figured Macbeth would be sleeping by then. But since we're gonna pass by Macbeth's house on the way to Erik's, and realized he;'d be sleeping all day anyway, we decided to stop by.
And let me just say that he did better than we expected. I, for one, thought that he would just keep sleeping and won't even bother to look at us. But I guess a tiny peek and a few words plus a goodbye is better, huh?
Anyway, we're standing right outside where Erik, Sawyer, and Richard stay.
"E-" I called but I was interrupted by a loud, "Get your butt in here. The door isn't locked."
"I'm sorry if my friends are rude, son." I apologized as I grabbed his pudgy hand.
"That's nothing compared to Fairy Tail." Erza chuckled
"Stop calling us rude and come in!" Erik grumbled.
As soon as we step foot inside the house, all three of them were waiting in the living room, playing cards.
"Erik told me you have a baby, I wanna see what the result of some time together with Erza looks like." Sawyer said as he dashed towards the baby.
"Ah, Love isn't it?" Richard remarked.
"Tsk. What are you, a bunch of girls who can't resist the sight of a tiny baby?" Erik rolled his eyes.
But nobody paid him any attention because we were all too busy cooing at the baby. And I guess he also couldn't resist because a few minutes later he walked over and subtly tried to peek at the baby.
"Looks like me, huh, Erik?" I grinned.
"Nah. Totally looks like Titania. Your genes are to dorky and too much of a wimp to dominate." he smirked.
I punched him on the arm lightly, but enough to make him feel a bit of pain. "Shut up. At least I'm with Erza, and I have a baby. How far have you gone with Kina?" This time, it was me who grinned.
"Buzz off, dork." He shoved me lightly.
