It has been exactly 1 hours 26 minutes and 7 seconds since Levy had entered. Gajeel would know, since he had been counting in order to keep his mind off things.

The moment he saw the blood flow down her legs he had taken off straight to the hospital. The waiting area was now crowded with mages from Fairy Tail. Everyone was dead worried about their precious little Levy and the baby in her. "it's all my fault," Gajeel groaned. "I should have noticed she wasn't feeling well. But I was too busy doing that damn house for her and I didn't even see.." he broke off as Makarov put a hand on his shoulder. "She will be fine Gajeel, she's a Fairy Tail mage and Fairy Tail mages are strong," the master assured. "We didn't even get to think of names for the child since Levy wanted the gender to be a surprise," Droy moaned as he lied on Jet's shoulder, with tears flowing down his cheeks. "And the baby shower we were going to prepare for her," Mira sobbed as a sniffling Lucy tried to console her. "Alright now shut up all of you! You're talking like my Shrimp's gonna die in there. She'll make it out safe so we just gotta support her from here," Gajeel hollered in an attempt to stop the dreadful thoughts from everyone. Just then, a nurse came out of the emergency room. "We're about to prepare for delivery. "

The rest was a rush of blur as Gajeel went into shock. He vaguely remembered being pushed into a changing room and Gray helping him put on his scrubs (the irony) to enter the operation room. He was not prepared to have the baby a month early. Not to mention the fact that Shrimp still wasn't out of danger and.. wait a minute. When did he get here again? His mind cleared the moment he saw the love of his life before him. She was pale and sweat plastered her messy hair on her forehead but god damn it she was beautiful as hell. She laid her eyes on him and gave him a weak smile before saying, "It'll be okay. Just bear with the pain and it'll be over soon,". The nurse guided him to sit beside her and he wondered, why would I be in pain? before Levy promptly grabbed on his arm and dug her nails into his skin. Screams of pain could be heard from both parents that day as people wondered who was the one actually giving birth.

It was all worth it in the end as after two torn piercings and countless scratches, the wonderful sound of a baby's first cry could be heard.

"It's a girl!"


Surprise update! Just because I couldn't bear to leave you guys cliffhanging.
I haven't check my follower count in awhile, and I just realised I have 66! It may not be a lot to most people, but I'm just glad to everyone of you who actually bother to read, favourite, follow and review this story. I get so happy when i see reviews, even if it's those telling me to update. Cos that means you guys like my story right? :') And thanks a lot to every single one of you. I remember on my second chapter I had only one review, which was by KHR1427 (ya still here? xD)

And I hope the change in tone wasn't too bad. This was suppose to be a funny story and I dragged the sadness a little in the last chapter so i tried to keep it light here. On a side note, if you guys have any GaLe/NaLu/Gruvia fics you think are awesome, give me a PM? I've ran out of fanfics to read tbh
