Levy held onto the bars tightly as she stood barely putting any weight on her new leg.

"Come on Shrimp. Ya have to stand on it before ya can walk on it." Said Gajeel.

"I know its just..." levey trailed off. It had been months since she had first woken up in the hospital. She was mostly healed now, but her arm still ached and she still didn't have one of her legs. She had gotten her prosthetic only a week ago and she had yet to actually walk on it.

It might not have help that Gajeel had been carrying her everywhere for the past three months and she didn't want that to end.

Gajeel hadn't left her side since the day she woke up. He was always there to help her and support her and Levy knew there was no way she would ever be able to repay him.

But one thing was getting on her nerves. In the past three months, Gajeel hadn't touched her. He had given quick kisses and hugs but nothing more than that and it was starting to get to Levy.

"Yo, Pip? Ya okay there."

It was then that Levy realized she had been staring of into space for the past ten minutes.

"Sorry."

"S'fine, now come on, walk to me."

"Okay."

Levy griped the bars and cautiously stepped forward on her prosthetic. She carefully placed her weight onto the metal leg, it was weird but it didn't hurt, and then she stepped. And stepped again. And again.

She was walking.

She couldn't help it, she started to cry. She reached the other side and stumbled into Gajeel's arms. She looked up at him grinning and crying and then she saw it. He was crying too.

"Way to go, Pip."

Levy laughed and hugged Gajeel tighter and he leaned down to kiss the top of her head.

Over the next month she started to walk again, first using the bars, then using Gajeel or Pantherlily or whoever went to therapy with her that day's arm (though it was almost always Gajeel's arm).

And then, five weeks later, Levy walked on her own.

Only Gajeel and Lily were there that day and Lily had left to get them some water.

Upon his return Levy had just gotten up and walked over to him not even thinking about it.

Gajeel and Lily stared at her. "What?" she asked.

"Levy you're walking." said Lily.

"What?" and then it hit her she had just walked without any help, by herself, she could walk!

Gajeel ran up and grabbed her swinging her around and laughing. "Ya did it Shrimp!"

Levy laughed to hugging him tightly.

"Why don't we got to the guild and show of you're new leg?" asked Lily.

"Sounds like a great idea.

Hello everyone! Sorry it's been so long, well not really I had to take a break and you should respect that, but anyway my friend tumor is gone and she only has six weeks of Chemo left so I felt good enough to write this and work on my other stories.

Enjoy.
