~~~Lucy and Loke
The night was close to perfection. Stars were shining bright in the dark blue sky like twinkling jewels. A soft breeze blew through the air helping to chill the hot summer night making it enjoyable. Soft light glowing from the lanterns lit a small thru the park. Almost everything was perfect.
"You okay Lucy?" Loke asked.
The pair had calmly been walking together for over an hour and Lucy had barely said more than five words the whole time. Usually Lucy was bubbling with happiness when they had a rare moment to spend together but just looking at Loke seemed to cause her pain. It didn't take a genius to figure out something was wrong, it was so obvious at this point Natsu could have even seen it.
Lucy looked down at her feet nervously "Ya I guess everything is fine, I've just been think a lot lately about us in the future. I mean you are a immortal Celestial Spirit and I'm just your Mage who will one day die."
"Hey that's not true." Loke said seriously grabbing Lucy's chin so she faced him. "Just like me the love we share is immortal. Since the day I first meet you I know you'd be special and there is no doubt in my mind that we'll survive anything. As long as we have each other and our love."
"Do you think you might someday want to marry me and start a family?"
Lucy blushed a light pink as she looked into her boyfriends dark eyes and felt the pure love burning within them. It was an ability only Loke had, the ability to make Lucy weak in the knees and forget everything.
"Of course I want to marry you someday. I can almost picture you as the most beautiful bride in the whole world walking towards me. The day we get married will be a day I'm finally completed. I just don't want to stop you from following your dreams.
I want you to get published, travel anywhere you want, and just live your life. I've already lived for hundreds of years and have done everything I wanted to do. Besides do you really want a kid?" Loke asked
"Well...um..."Lucy started stuttering as she turned a deeper colored pink color. "It does feel like everyone is starting that chapter. Mira just gave birth to her blond hair beauty of a daughter, Cana's kid will be turning three soon, Lisanna and Natsu just got married, and Grey and Juvia are starting to try for a kid I heard. It's just got me thinking about maybe a mini Lucy running around."
"Now a mini Lucy is something I'd like to see. Kids just seem like so much work they poop, sleep, and eat for like the first year of life. Then once they start walking it's all over. Not to mention waking you up in the middle of the night, I don't know about you but I like getting my eight hours of sleep."
Loke shuddered thinking about how annoying it would be to have a kid. He'd heard some pretty bad horror stories from people and he just didn't know if he was ready for something like that. Scratch that he knows he isn't ready for that, he didn't have the stomach to change a diaper.
"Stupid false advertising potions with small print. I knew I should just sprang for the extra strength version, 200 hundred jewels be damned." Lucy snapped in anger stomping her foot to get out some of her building frustration.
Loke leaned against the wall separating them from the flowing river system "What are you talking about now?"
"Loke I'm pregnant."
"You're what!" Standing up quickly in surprise Loke lost his footing and slipped into the river.
"I shouldn't have told him that while he was near the river."
~~~Levy
The house had the warming smell of home cooking flowing through the air, making even the most stubborn of eater's mouth water in hunger. Everything was set for the return of a certain metal eating dragon slayer who was already running ten minutes late.
Not that Levy seemed to mind as she daydreamed about the cute little child growing in her stomach. Every minute she started to fall more in love with her baby and couldn't wait to cuddle the little human in her arms.
'I've made his favorite dinner, have his favorite song playing, and I made my world famous cherry pie. All I have to do now is break the new to him in a loving, caring, and calm way. It won't be that hard, once he finds out about our cute little baby he'll be just as excited as me. I can do this.' Levy thought as she made sure to adjust Gajeel's plate perfectly. Happiness running threw every inch of her body like electricity.
"Hey Shrimp." Gajeel called as he walked into the kitchen covered in dust. "Sorry I'm late. My mission ran a bit long because Wendy ended up getting hurt. She's fine now that we've gotten her some medical treatment. What did you make, it smells pretty good."
"I'm pregnant and you're going to be a father. So get with the program you stupid bolt head." Levy screamed loudly in Gajeel's face, the women glaring her eyes threateningly and leaning in close enough for their noses to touch "And Like it."
Turning on her heels Levy storming out of the apartment with a loud slam of the door.
"You're what?" The dragon slayer yelled in shock. "I'm going to be a what?"
Scene break (lets say it was the next day around noon)
Levy and Lucy glumly walked down the streets looking at all the different baby items in distaste. As much as they both wanted to be happily gushing over the cute baby accessories neither could really find it in their hearts to.
With a depressed sigh Lucy looked at her best-friend and fellow expecting mother with understanding eyes "It didn't go well for you either?"
"I screamed at him, threatened him, and then stormed out. I'll be shocked if Gajeel ever talks to me again much less helps raise our kid. Which sucks because I thought he'd make a great father." Levy muttered sadly, still embarrassed over her uncharacteristic hostility and anger she'd gotten. Hormonal mood swings could make her almost as scary as Erza.
"Loke fell into the river, I ran home, and made sure he couldn't get in before crying myself to sleep. He doesn't even want to have a kid, he thinks it will be too much work."
"Who doesn't want a little bundle of cuddly joy to love forever in your arms?"
"I know right, Men are so weird and thick headed."
"Lucy!"
Both women looked down the street to see an out of breath and slightly disheveled looking Loke running towards them carrying as many books as possible. There was no hiding his large almost goofy grin that stretched across his face or the happy twinkle in his eyes.
"Okay so I've been up all night doing research. We'll decorate the nursery in an underwater theme to help the baby feel safe. I was thinking we could talk to Aquarius about helping us a bit.
Also I put a down payment on a new crib that we can have customized together when we have the time. Have you found a doctor yet because I read that the best is-"
"What are you talking about Loke?" Lucy asked in confusion
"Stuff for our kid, what did you think I was talking about?"
"So you want to help me raise it?"
"Ya I want to help raise my kid with the most amazing women I've ever meat."
Lucy teared up in happiness and hugged Loke as hard as she could, which effectively almost made him pass out from air loose. Even Levy teared up at the happy moment for her close friend. Only feeling slightly sad that Gajeel wasn't standing with her.
"Levy with you do me the honor of marrying me?"
To Levy's surprised behind her on one knee sat Gajeel holding a small silver that looked hand made. She couldn't even stop herself from tackling the dark haired man as hard as she could.
Gajeel and Loke would forever remember the day as one of the happiest days of their life, it was also a day which they both almost died from suffocation.
Now some adventures of parenthood!
