Future meets Present ch 4

Juvia and Mika were still laughing when Gray couldn't take it anymore and decided to leave. He had his hand on the door when Mika stopped laughing and asked, "Papa where are you going?"

"Out for a while," said Gray.

"But why?" asked Mika while about to cry, "Was it something I said?"

"No, I just need to go," explained Gray as he closed the door behind him.

It began to snow outside hard. Juvia wasn't sure what to make of this. She looked at Mika crying and then outside at it snowing harder. Wait could Mika control snow like Juvia controlled water.

Juvia then hugged Mika with all her might. Mika slowly stopped crying and looked at Juvia.

"Mama," was all she said. Juvia smiled to herself, she was defiantly her daughter. The snow stopped falling.

Nashi wanted to go outside and play when she noticed snow. 'Crap Mika,' thought Nashi, 'She must be upset'

"Mama, can we go see Mika?" asked Nashi.

"Huh ok she's with Juvia right?" said Lucy.

"Yeah," answered Nashi

So while Natsu and Happy played, Lucy took Nashi over to Fairy Hills.

"Are you sure it's ok to be here? What if Juvia doesn't want visitors?" asked Lucy to Nashi.

"Why because of Uncle Gray?" asked Nashi.

"Well yeah," said Lucy.

"I'm sure it will be fine mama," reassured Nashi.

Nashi knocked on Juvia's door to find it open. Both girls looked at each other before cautiously going in. They found Mika being hugged by Juvia. Juvia looked up and smiled.

"Hello Lucy-san and Nashi-chan," said Juvia.

"Hi there Juvia, Nashi wanted to see Mika. I hope that's ok," explained Lucy.

"Oh that's fine with Juvia," said Juvia, "How about you Mika?"

"Oh that's fine, Hey Nashi what's up?" asked Mika.

"Can we talk?" asked Nashi.

"Oh ok sure, we'll go just outside mama," said Mika to Juvia.

-With Juvia and Lucy-

"How are you holding up Juvia?" asked Lucy.

"Oh just fine, Gray-sama stayed the night which was great for Juvia and Mika," said Juvia

"Really Natsu and Happy stayed with Nashi and I too," stated Lucy.

"Our families are really acting like families," sighed Juvia

"Yeah they really are," said Lucy.

-With Mika and Nashi-

"What's up Nashi?" asked Mika.

"Oh just a little worried is all," stated Nashi.

"About what?" asked Mika curiously.

"You…the snow again," said Nashi.

"Oh that don't worry," said Mika.

"But you can't do that in the middle of summer Mika," said Nashi urgently.

"I know that! I was upset!" yelled Mika, "I can't control it!"

"What if Uncle Gray saw you?" asked Nashi angrily.

"Papa wouldn't care, I hope," said Mika.

Gajeel couldn't help but feel anxious about having a daughter in the future with Levy. He couldn't help but think back to when she saved him from the tartaros demons. He now felt guilty about storming out like he did.

He turned around and began walking back to Levy's place.

There was a knock on the door, which woke Levy from her book.

"I wonder who that is?" thought Levy out loud, "Coming."

Levy when to open the door to find Gajeel looking down.

"Gajeel, what's that matter?" asked Levy worriedly.

"Uh…sorry about earlier," said Gajeel quietly.

"That's ok," said Levy while she hugged him from behind.

This surprised Gajeel more than Aiko did. He hadn't thought she'd forgive him so easily.
