K for Kids
To tell you the truth, he never thought he would have kids. The thought was never allowed to get far then a simple idea. But here he was, in the hall of a hospital, his small blue haired partner screaming her head off as she gave birth of there small bundles of joy. He was sitting down, looking into his hands. The guild was waiting for the news but only a few actually came to the hospital. His best friend was siting in front of him, smiling at him. "Your going to be a great father, Gajeel-kun" her voice rang in his ears as he went back to looking at his hands. His partner, Lily, was sitting to his right, giving his reassurance. "Don't worry Gajeel, everything will fall into place.".
The truth was, he knew he was going to be a great father. The best Fucking father there was actually. He would beat flame brain and his kids would be better than his little brats. Though he wasn't worried about being a father, he was worried about how it was going to happen. It was to late for Levy to have a c-section, the babies were premature and it could hurt them more than a natural birth. Not only that but Levy was small...Dammit Levy was really small. At only 4'11" the doctor had warned them about having children, warned them of the possible death, but Levy didn't care. And for a few months, Gajeel didn't care either...until the 7 month mark came, until Levy fainted on there front lawn, until the doctor told him there was no chance in the babies surviving...
Twins wasn't something Levy's family was common for(Or, at least she never remembered it to be), but Gajeel never knew his family...what if he had a twin out there, or if he did have the twin gene. He would not forgive himself if his blue haired woman and children died...he would die along wit them. Pantherlily was the only one in Fairy Tail who knew, him and the other dragon-slayers. Not even Master knew the potential danger Levy could have. Levy was small.
It felt like hours passed and finally the screaming stopped...and it was quiet, not even the sound of crying children...until the heart monitor in Levy's room began to slow down, and finally stopped. Gajeel felt his own heart stop, he felt cold rush through his body, it felt like death was right in front of him. "LEVY!" Gajeel screamed in agony as he shot up from his chair and ran to his mates delivery room door. "Sir! you cant go in there!" the nurses plea fell on silent ears as Gajeel ran faster to the door but 10 feet away from him. But before he could get to his a huge mountain of muscle stood in his way, the sound of Levy's silent heart monitor still ringing at the back of his mind. "NO GAJEEL!" Pantherlily, in his battle form, grabbed Gajeel and held him back. Gajeel kicked and screamed an even Juvia had to come and help restrain him. She cant be dead, she can never be dead! Gajeel kicked and screamed bloody murder."No! Levy me get to her!" Gajeel didn't have the heart ore soul to gather any strength, his sobs taking to much out of him. "Levy..."
Then he froze as her heart monitor finally started up again. Gajeel sobbed in relief as he clutched Pantherlily as a life line. His heart still grieved, as he didn't hear the sound of children cry. He didn't have the heart to face it now, so he focused on Levy's heart beat. The huge exceed took in a deep breath also relied in the woman's heart beat. A few moments passed and a doctor came out. Gajeel whipped his tears away and stood straight up, staring at the medical surgeon. "Well, , your wife beat the odds...she was dead for a full 2 minutes." Gajeel took in a deep breath at the information, he wanted to see her, he needed to see her. As if reading his mind, the Doctor led Gajeel into a recovery room.
Fallowing the doctor they paused in-front of another room. "Would you like to see your children as well?" Gajeel was confused, but his hear raced. "W-what?" The doctor chuckled and opened the door slowly. Gajeel peaked in and there were a few incubator type things in the room but he looked around for the name Redfox. Finally Gajeel spotted a small machine in the corner but only one. The doctor pushed him back a little before closing the door. "I'm sorry you only got a small glance but the children are very unstable. But, against all odds, they will survive the night. They did not cry, surprisingly, but they are as healthy as 2 premature babies can be." Gajeel felt like crying again, they would be alright. the doctor bean to walk again as he talked to Gajeel. "Congratulation, , not many get to have the privileged of both lover and child living through the night. and to be frank, you should have only had 1 child. Your Daughter, the first born, had a punctured lung from your wife's fall, and it was only a matter of seconds after her birth that she began to shut down. And your son was still inside of your partner when she died, he didn't have much chance either...but they beat the odds, and for that, you are a very lucky man."And with that, he left Gajeel in front of a door.
Gajeel walked in to a sight more beautiful than anything he has ever seen. Levy was laying, tired, on the bed. Her hair damp from sweat, and her face drenched in tears. She was breathing heavy and her face was yellow. Her lips were blue and Gajeel wanted to cry. She was alive, thats all he cared about. He would triad seeing Mitalicana again just to see her alive, any day. Walking to her he leaned down and gave her a small kiss. "Ya' scared me..." Levy let out a horse giggle before closing her eyes. "i'm sorry...did...they?" Gajeel nodded. "The doc said they had to be put in a NICU...but they will be fine..." Levy let out a laugh. "this was a bad idea..." Gajeel nodded, smirking "We are never doing it again, got it?" Levy giggled. "Agreed" telling her to sleep Gajeel pulled up a chair he began to clean her face up, giving her small kisses along the way. Finally it was 4:59am, his kids were born on 2:58 and 3:01 am, and his wife died for two minutes on 3:00 am. Gajeel smirked realizing he had also died for two minutes on 3:00 am, only coming back at the sound of his wife's beautiful heart beat.
So, no, Gajeel Redfox never though about having kids...but her never thought he would be able to love someone as much as he loves Levy McGarden.
