A/N: Hello once more! I am happy to present Chapter four of the Redfox Family. I hope everyone has had a decent few months. Sorry for the delay; Finals week, moving and not having internet led to these chapters being posted later than I wanted.
Disclaimer: I own nothing this is just for fun!
Porlyusica's and The White Demon
Levy gave a stretch as she entered her home after dropping Melody off at school for the day. Gajeel and Lily had left last night for their mission from Master Markov. Levy looked over at the clock on the wall and saw that it was just passed seven thirty in the morning. Knowing that Wendy would be waiting for her at the guild hall Levy went into the kitchen to pack lunch for both her and Wendy. Wendy was going to walk with Levy to Porlyusica's today so Levy could be checked over. Levy stood in the kitchen making sandwiches and humming to herself. Once Levy had the two lunches made she found a small bag to carry the food and several bottles of water. Satisfied that lunch was well taken care of Levy nodded to herself as she picked up the knapsack and left her home.
Levy enjoyed the walk to the guild hall; the weather was warm and sunny with a light breeze. As she arrived at the guild hall Wendy darted outside; a panicked look on her face.
"Wendy? What is wrong?" Levy was concerned even in guild brawls Wendy never left the hall. Wendy met Levy's eyes "Do not go in there! Mira has been interrogating me all morning."
Levy balked with this information. Looking at Wendy the solid script mage took a deep breath before asking "What does she know?" Wendy gulped "I think she knows, but I do not know how since I did not tell her. Master would not tell if Gajeel asked him not too." Levy nodded in agreement with Wendy's assessment. "I need to go in there and see if I can figure out if she really does know, or if she is just guessing."
Levy did not like the thought of having to deal with Mira when she was being nosey, but she also knew that Mira would hound her at home if she did not go to the guild. Taking a breath to steady herself Levy walked up to the guild's large wooden doors before pushing them open. Inside the guild hall was rather calm, but the air seemed to be filled with nervousness from everyone. Nastu and Gray were sitting next to each other without calling each other names. Levy gulped before her eyes made their way to the bar of the guild hall. There stood the white haired she-devil; a wicked smile on her lips as she spotted Levy. The smaller mage sighed as she began to walk over Mira. With a bright smile Levy waved to Mira "Moring Mira!"
"Good Moring Levy-chan! You are just the mage I was looking for!"
As Levy reached the bar she asked Mira "What is up do you have a day job for me?" Levy asked in hopes to distract Mira. The demonic take over mage shook her head no. "Nope, but I do have a question for you Levy-chan~" a smirk firmly on her face.
"Oh really what is then, Mira? Wendy is waiting for me."
Mira leaned close so she could whisper into Levy's ear. "A little birdie told me that you are expecting kiddo number two, Levy-chan." Levy paled slightly before giving a nervous laugh. "Oh…well…you see" Levy stuttered trying to think of something to delay Mira with when Cana suddenly came over.
"Mira you should leave poor Levy alone! You know that she does not share details about her and Gajeel's private life." Levy blushed a fierce red at Cana's statement.
Before Mira could inform Cana Levy spoke "Oh look at the time! Wendy and I must really be off or we will be late. See you guys later!" she called over her shoulder as she ran out of the guild hall to where Wendy was waiting.
As Levy sped past Wendy she snatched the sky dragon slayer by her arm. "Let's make a getaway while Mira is confused." Wendy just nodded as she turned to keep up with Levy whom was speed walking towards the woods where Porlyusica lived.
Mira sighed to herself as she watched Levy make her escape. She knew for certain the Levy was pregnant; she had overheard Gajeel telling Master yesterday before he and Lily had left. The main reason Mira was tormenting poor Levy was the simple fact that Mira had been bored recently. Nothing really new was happening at the guild; the kids where too young to really cause havoc yet. Lucas was only a year and half old and Melody was just barely four years old. Asuka was roughly ten years old now. Gray and Juvia had only been married for four months now. Bickslow and Lisanna had been engaged for over a year now with no date set. Elfman and Evergreen had finally acknowledged that they were dating to the guild publicly. Laxus had been taking S-Class mission after S-class mission; meaning he was not around often to entertain the She-Devil. So for the time being only three small children were running around the guild hall. Mira snickered to herself as she thought about she had caught Levy and Gajeel making out in a hallway closet after keeping the fact that they were dating from the guild for almost six months. Mira sighed as she thought about just what the entire guild had been through; no matter what they seemed to prevail. Mira was pulled from her inner thoughts as she was asked to bring more ale over to Cana, Marco, and Wakaba.
Levy was in deep thought as she and Wendy walked out to Porlyusica's. Levy could tell that Mira knew. She was now pondering just how to convince Mira not to tell the entire guild until she and Gajeel were ready too. When the couple had been expecting Melody the guild found out the same day Levy and Gajeel had. All thanks to Levy's serve dehydration caused from her overwhelming morning sickness. That was one thing Levy was hoping would not be nearly as bad with this pregnancy. Levy's morning sickness last time had lasted well into her fourth month. Levy looked over to see that Wendy was watching her as they walked. "Is something wrong, Wendy?" The smaller bluenett jumped slightly. "Nothing is wrong, Levy-chan. I was just thinking about when you were expecting Melody." The younger said with a blush of embarrassment. Levy paled at the thought of her pregnancy with Melody. Levy loved Melody with all her heart, but her first pregnancy had been a rough one. Levy gave a nervous laugh "Hopefully this one will not be as rough." Wendy nodded in agreement. Levy noticed that Charle was not with them. "Hey Wendy where is Charle?" the smaller dragon slayer hardly went anywhere without the white Exceed. Wendy blinked "Oh. She went to visit the Exceed village since she had not had a chance to visit them in a few months." Levy nodded in understanding. Pantherlily would also make the occasional trip to the Exceed village to visit old friends. The two mages continued their walk in comfortable silence.
A few hours later Wendy and Levy reached Porlyusica's hut. Wendy knocked on the wooden door. Levy stood next to her. A few seconds later an old pinkette opened the door.
"Markov told me you were coming today. Come on in before the bugs all rush in." she said with her trademark glare.
Wendy just gave a large smile at the mage whom had been helping her learn more healing magic since she joined Fairy Tail. Levy on the other hand was very nervous. Porlyusica usually did not take care of the mages of Fairy Tail unless they were seriously injured; however that changed when Bisca had been expecting little Asuka. Porlyusica had declared that she would watch over every Fairy pregnancy that arouse. Porlyusica had watched over Levy's first pregnancy. The first visit had not been pleasant since both Levy and Gajeel had been given a stern lecture from the old pink haired mage about not even visiting a doctor when Levy constantly kept throwing up. Levy timidly walked into the tree that was Porlyusica's clinic and home.
"Okay child have a seat on the table. Wendy, make some ginger and honey tea." Porlyusica instructed the two mages.
Levy took a seat on the cot that served as an infirmary bed/examination table. The first thing Porlyusica did was a standard examination checking Levy's eyes, ears, heart rate, and blood pressure. All throughout this process Porlyusica nodded to herself.
"Okay now lie back so I can confirm Wendy's findings from yesterday."
Levy nodded in understanding and laid back on the cot. Porlyusica rubbed her hands together letting her magic gather around her hands. While Wendy's hands had glowed a greenish blue color Porlyusica's magic was a soft pink. The old woman's hands hovered over Levy's midsection for a few minutes. The older mage gave a nod of her head as her magic dissipated into thin air. Meeting Levy's eyes Porlyusica gave a rare small smile.
"Wendy is correct my dear you are most certainly pregnant with your second child. It would also appear that her estimation about you being six weeks along is also true." Porlyusica informed Levy. "I am glad you came to us before you passed out from dehydration this time."
Levy blushed at the last comment. Wendy walked over then handing Levy a small cup of ginger and honey tea. Levy gratefully took the cup taking a sip of the warm liquid. Porlyusica watched Levy with a critical eye. She was pleased to see that the tea did not make Levy sick.
"Have you been sick at all yet, Child?" Porlyusica asked.
Levy shook her head yes. "I have only thrown up twice so far. I have been feeling more nauseous but no constant vomiting, but every pregnancy is different." Porlyusica nodded her head in agreement with Levy's statement.
"Alright, child if you do develop bad morning sickness again do not hesitate to come over here. If you do not need me please come back in three weeks or so and bring the metal lug head with you." Porlyusica told Levy.
Levy giggled at Porylusica's name for Gajeel. Looking at the clock on the wall Levy noticed it was time to leave so she would be on time to pick Melody up from school. "Thanks for the conformation Porlyusica-chan. I must leave now to go pick Melody up from school." The older mage nodded as she and Levy stood and began to walk towards the door.
"Are you going to walk back with me Wendy-chan?" Levy asked the younger mage.
"Hai, Levy-sama. I will walk back to the guild hall with you."
The two mages said their goodbyes to Porlyusica and began the walk back to the guild hall. They chatted comfortably with each other on the walk back. Levy suffered from one small dizzy spell, but Wendy made her sit down and sip some water until Levy's world became properly balanced again. Wendy stayed at the guildhall while Levy continued onto Melody's preschool to pick her up.
The children were all waiting for their parents or guardians to pick them up when Levy arrived at the school. Melody ran up to Levy when she spotted her mother's blue locks.
"Mama! You are here!" Melody cried out as she hugged her mother.
Levy laughed at her daughter's antics before returning the hug Melody had given her. The two females began to walk home. Levy listened as Melody chatted about her day at school. Once the duo reached their home Levy and Melody sat down on the couch to read a book together. Within an hour the two had dozed off into a peaceful nap in the soft afternoon light that filtered in threw the window.
