Day 4: Past/Future. This one is a lot shorter. I just didn't know how else to do the prompt though.
Erza rubbed her stomach lightly allowing all the girls to talk around her. Suddenly she gave a gasp. Mirajane concerned leaned forward. "Erza? Are you alright?"
Erza nodded. "I'm fine Mira. It's just...The baby gave a kick!" A grin emerged on her face. The Fairy Tail girls immediately jumped up excitedly. "Can I feel?" Wendy asked shyly. The young bluenette was now in her twenties but she hadn't changed at all. Still just as kind and polite. Erza nodded and pressed Wendy's hand on her belly.
Both girls gave gasps as the baby kicked again. Cana got up and gave a holler to the others. "Erza's baby just kicked! Someone go call daddy!"
Erza could hear them all searching for him and felt tears spring to her eyes.
"Hey. What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Lucy asked concerned for her friend. Erza shook her head.
"I'm just so happy." Erza still couldn't believe that she was fortunate enough to experience the joy of motherhood. Sometimes at night, she'd worry about if she was able to be a good mother or not, but the father would always comfort her.
"What gender is the baby?" Lisanna asked curiously. "Do you know?"
"No. Ah-we want it to be a surprise." Erza denied.
Mirajane laughed. "That's right Lisanna. Erza's turning out to be one of those parents."
"What's wrong with that?" Erza closed her mouth. She hadn't said that. They all turned around to see Gray Fullbuster standing behind them.
"I heard the baby kicked?" He asked Erza. She nodded. He slowly smiled widely and walked closer to her. "I'm very glad." He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her in for a kiss, muttering against her lips. "Did I mention I love you Mrs. Fullbuster? The lovely mother of my child?"
Erza smiled tears leaking out of her eyes. "I know."
"Good." Gray responded and pulled back. He was startled to see the tears in her eyes. "Hey, hey. What's wrong?" He asked sounding panicked.
Erza shook her head. "Nothing, nothing. I'm just so happy we have this possibility. This happiness to light up our future."
Gray laughed. "I say we deserve it, what with our pasts, no?"
Erza shrugged. "Whatever the case, I'm glad it's with you."
"Me too." Gray agreed, embracing her once more.
I don't know why I tried to hide the fact that Gray was the father. I mean duh, obviously he is. Its Grayza week.
