It was the way her skin sparkled as the moonlight shone through the skylight in their bedroom. Pure and soft to the touch. The way her spine dipped. The way the sweat poured off her when they were making love made him tingle.

It was the way she smiled. Even on his worst days, her smile could brighten his day. He didn't deserve it, but he wouldn't trade that smile of hers for anything in the world.

It was her brain. She was the smartest person he knew and she could solve every problem that she came across. She loved to read and absorb the knowledge that dwelt between the pages.

It was her love for others. She was the kindest and most caring person he had ever met. No one disliked her.

It was her forgiveness. Without that he probably wouldn't have been able to go on. He hurt her and he wouldn't ever fully be able to forgive himself, but she made him realize that there is more to life than violence.

She had always doubted herself. She had always thought she was weak. He came along and proved her wrong. He made her big just like he promised all those years ago.

He sat across from her in their dinning room completely dumbfounded. What did she say? He was dazed and confused. Was this really happening to him?

"Hello? Earth to Gajeel! Is anyone in there?" The man's petite wife, Levy, asked him

"You're gonna have to repeat yerself Shrimp. I-i didn't hear you." Gajeel replied almost breathlessly

"I said you are going to be a daddy. I'm pregnant." Levy smiled to her husband

"We've barely been married two months and I've been on a job for the last month of it. How is this possible?" Gajeel absentmindedly stated

"Well, when a man and a woman are in love, they join each other in a special…dance. We made love almost every night we were both home. It makes sense Gajeel. Are you disappointed?" Levy asked

"Disappointed, no. In shock, a little. Happy, definitely." Gajeel said as a genuine smile appeared on his face

He was going to be a daddy. Him. Gajeel Redfox was going to be a father and his wife Levy held their child inside of her.

Gajeel stood up and wrapped his arms around his petite wife. He kissed her hair as she nuzzled deep into his broad chest. He pulled back and looked into the eyes that he loved so much.

"How far along are ya?" Gajeel asked as he placed his giant hand on her belly

"About 6 weeks. I found out last week, but you weren't home and I couldn't tell anyone else before I told you. To be honest, I'm still in shock. We're having a baby and I can't wait to meet him or her." Levy sang as she placed her tiny hand on top of her husband's

Everything about this woman was perfect. Her skin, her smile, her brain, caring personality and her forgiveness is what is going to make her an amazing mother.

He didn't know the first thing about love before he met Levy, but she made him into the man he is today. Without her none of this would be possible. The once lonely and cold Iron Dragon Slayer was finally getting a chance at happiness and a real family. Nothing in this moment could make Gajeel any happier than he is right now.

Gajeel swept Levy off her feet and slowly walked upstairs to their bedroom. He gently placed Levy on the bed before shutting their door. He laid down next to her and pulled her shirt up to just below her rib cage as he began talking to the unborn child. Levy giggled at this sight. She never thought Gajeel would be the type of person to talk to an unborn child. It made her happier than she ever could have imagined.

Gajeel planted kisses all over Levy's stomach. Soon he nestled in beside her and placed a protective arm across her belly. The couple enjoyed the quietness of this moment and never wanted it to end.

Gajeel and Levy soon fell asleep to the sound of the crickets chirping outside their quaint cottage in the country.

Gajeel dreamed of what their child might look like that night. He was damn proud that the child in his dreams was so good looking. He was sure that with Levy at his side that their child would turn out alright. After all, their child is a Redfox and future Fairy Tail mage.


This is my form of an apology. I didn't post anything last week and I feel horrible that I didn't because i promised that I would post weekly. Plus I was bored and hoped this would help my creative juices flowing again. I hope you guys like it.
