Author's Note: I do not own Fairy Tail or make a profit off of this.

Hello! Another day off, it feels so good. Though, I always have Sunday off! ^-^

Thank you BRSxANE for your review! Don't worry, I get plenty of rest. Its summertime so I have more time than I really need. Therefore, fanfiction!

And also Sketcher1994 who reviewed the last chapter right as I finished this one! Gihi. The piercing theme will also be mentioned in my first bit for Gajevy Love Love Week. It'll be posted on Friday! The prompt: 'Striptease'.

Chapter Three: Denial - Part Two

Wendy Marvell couldn't claim to know a lot about sex. After all, she'd just turned thirteen. She had no personal reasons to know more than the basics. Yet, she was recently faced with reality. She was more than just your average thirteen year old girl. She was a sky dragon slayer, and many of her friends depended on her for healing and to diagnose their illnesses. Given Levy's recent experience, Wendy finally decided to read the chapter in Grandine's book that she'd skipped.

It was embarrassing to say the least. No matter how many times she tried to get over it, Wendy couldn't help but blush with every sentence. Because of that, she decided to read in her room.

The chapter started well enough, describing the differences between the sexes, the different functions, and names. Wendy could live with that. But then it started describing the difference in dragon slayers, which caught the young girl by surprise. Sure, there were parts of dragon slayers that were changed. Their noses and their lungs were definitely different from you average human, but to think that being a dragon slayer affected reproductive organs as well? That was unheard of, as far as she was concerned.

On page 27, Wendy learned something that her fellow dragon slayers needed to learn. Most forms of birth control didn't work with dragon slayers and their sexual partner. Only condoms worked.

This...Gajeel needed to know. To be honest, all of the dragon slayers needed to know. But why was she the one who had to tell them? Wendy wanted to cry. She was the youngest, and also the only female. This wasn't fair at all.

She looked down at the book. Maybe if she had Gajeel read it, he could be the one to tell Natsu, Laxus, Sting and Rogue? It was worth a shot. After all, he did 'owe her one'.

"G-gajeel..." Wendy stuttered, catching the iron dragon slayer's attention.

"What is it kid?" he asked, looking down at her. Her face was red from embarrassment. She shoved a book into his hands.

"Page 27." she said simply before rushing off. He looked down at the book and noticed that it was handwritten. More than that, it was dictated by a dragon. By Grandine. Gajeel wondered why Wendy would leave this with him and why she would be so embarrassed. As soon as he read the page and found out why, he understood completely.

"Shit." he whispered to himself. Especially given that tonight was the first night that Levy would be 'healed' from her piercing. She'd made sure to hide it from him until she was ready. At first it was out of embarrassment, she'd been drunk when she got it. After seeing how much it tortured Gajeel though, she wanted to build up the anticipation for that first time.

Now Gajeel had to tell her that they'd have to either risk her getting pregnant again, or use a condom. Not that they were bad options. He still got to make love to her.

"Gajeel. Want to go check out this house?" Levy asked, passing him another pamphlet. He had been uncharacteristically low the whole afternoon, which was strange because Levy knew that they were going to finally have sex again that night.

For the past two weeks, the couple spent their time looking for a new place to live. Gajeel was surprisingly picky, to the point where Levy wondered if he really meant what he said about finding a new place. Still, he would always go with her to look at different houses.

This one was further from the guild than most, but it did have everything they were looking for. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a room big enough for all of Levy's books. This one actually had a library already built in! She was hopeful about this one.

They went through the house, marking off their checklist. Once they got to the bedroom, Levy couldn't stand Gajeel's silence anymore.

"Are you sure you want a house?" she asked suddenly.

"Yes." He mumbled. That wasn't the kind of answer Levy was looking for.

"No, I mean it. You don't seem too thrilled."

Levy's hands were on her hips. That was never a good sign.

"We're looking at houses. Not exactly thrilling to begin with."

She knew that he was being honest. But at the same time, she was letting her self esteem issues get in the way. She still didn't feel comfortable talking about what had happened. It was hard enough to tell everyone that they weren't going to have a baby. Levy had tried really hard not to blame herself, and having Gajeel's support backed her up. But now his reluctance to buy a house and the poor attitude he had right now...it made it hard.

"I-its because of what happened, isn't it?" she asked while trying to hold back the tears. Gajeel sighed.

"No. I've already told you short stuff. I don't like house hunting, but that doesn't mean I don't want to buy a house with you. And what happened...it doesn't matter. It happened and its in the past."

Levy refused to be convinced. She was just too angry and upset to simply agree.

"Its because we were going to have a family. We conceived a baby and I...my body couldn't keep it. I fucked up." she nearly screamed, catching Gajeel off guard. He could barely believe what he was hearing. It had been months now. Was she really not as over it as she'd led on. Maybe she hadn't dealt with it yet and had been in denial all this time?

"Levy..." he said softly as he reached out to her, only to be slapped.

"No. Nevermind. Forget it." she sobbed before running out of the house. Gajeel strangled the air in frustration for a moment. How do you even deal with this? She isn't even listening to reason! He thought to himself before finally running after her.

Please Review! Thank you!

Sorry the chapter is a bit shorter than usual. Uh-oh, Levy was in denial the whole time? And what comes after Denial?

Next:

Chapter Four: Anger

"She did what?" Gajeel roared at the rest of Team Shadow Gear. Jet and Droy cowered at the man's anger.

"She went on a mission on her own." Droy finally answered, repeating what they'd just said.

Gajeel's anger moved towards the one person who would know where he could find his fiancé.

"Mira, where's Levy?" he demanded.
