AN: Two chapters in a row! Man, I'm tired. I hope you enjoy it!

-Ten-

"I'm sorry, what?" Juvia was sure she heard him wrong.

"I'm moving in." Gray let the suitcases on the floor and opened his arms smiling.

"You are moving in here?" Juvia was confused. What was happening?

"Yes." He continued to smile brightly at her again.

She frowned. Her Gray-sama was acting weird and she wasn't sure of how to deal with it. Usually, she was the crazy one between the two of them. Without a choice, she tried to understand his actions.

"Why are you moving in?" She tried with caution.

"We made a baby, so I'm staying." He nodded and Juvia shook her head.

"Gray-sama, we talked about this, marriage isn't the best solution and…"

"No, no marriage." It was Gray's turn to shake his head. "We need to get to know each other better. I get it." He raised his hands in defense. "But while we're doing this, I'm staying right here."

"Gray-sama…"

"Wait. Don't say no just yet. Just… let me explain." Juvia looked at him in expectation. "You said that if I want to be a part of the baby's life, I can, right?" She nodded. "I want and I will. We're going to need money, right? Advantage number one is that we will pay only one rent, so we can save the rest for the baby." He had a point. "I'll go to the missions and you stay here gestating in peace, forgetting the worries about money. I have some that I saved a while ago from an S-Class mission. We don't have to do badly in that aspect. And you are going to need help during the pregnancy, so, here I am. I'll do whatever. And when the kid's born, you'll need even more help."

"G…" She tried again, but he stopped her.

"I'm volunteering to clean poop, Juvia. I am excited with the chance to clean poop. Can you understand?" She did. She was too.

"I want to be here with you while we pass through this. I was never a father; I don't know what is like to feel that a baby smaller than a bean is more special than anything. I don't know what is like to decorate rooms or choose names. But I want to find out." He grabbed her shoulders. "Today I was talking to Fried and he said to me that this," He looked at her belly. "is the most amazing thing that it'll happen to me. To us. And I have this feeling that if I miss this, I'll regret it." They stayed in silence for some seconds. "I wasn't exactly jumping when I found out about it, but I am now. I see how Fried looks at Luke or how Alzack treats Polvora. I want that." He looked deep into her eyes. "Please, don't take that away from me."

Juvia chewed her lower lip and remembered Lucy's words for her earlier.

"Juvia?" The Water Mage heard through the door and after a knock. It was Lucy. She got up from the couch where she was since Gray left.

"Hi." She dried her tears, but they continued to flow even after she tried to stop it.

"Hi." Lucy smiled sadly at her and in a second, she hugged Juvia, who was surprised but recovered and hugged her back, crying freely at that point. "It's gonna be alright, Juvia."

"Sorry about that." Juvia said after calming down and letting Lucy enter her apartment properly. "Juvia was out of control at that moment."

"It's alright. We all have our moments." Lucy smiled kindly at her. They stayed a few seconds in silence before the blond talk again. "Juvia, Gray's upstairs in our apartment. He told us what happened."

"Oh…" The Water Mage mumbled. "Did he?"

"Yes." Lucy took one of Juvia's hands on hers. "Men are so stupid sometimes." Juvia offered the Stellar Spirit Mage a sad smile.

"It's nothing like I dreamed of." Juvia said shaking her head. "There weren't any flowers, or music or just the love words. Everything was a duty. He had to ask because the baby needs a family. He never said: 'I need you' or 'I want to marry you'. And I can't marry him like this. Am I too naïve?"

"No. Of course not." Lucy held the other woman's hand harder. "We all dream about our perfect man saying the perfect words and doing the perfect things. But isn't like that. Look at me! I dreamt about a prince and ended up with Natsu instead." Lucy said, trying to lighten up thing a little. "Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade him for anyone, but I was expecting this handsome, intelligent and rich man who would say the most beautiful things to me. And we both know how Natsu is."

Juvia gave a small smile.

"I mean, he is handsome." Lucy stopped to think. "Intelligent when he wants to. And since we aren't homeless yet, so it means we have enough money." She frowned. "And he does say good things sometimes, so I guess I did end up marrying my prince after all." The blond woman smiled. "Life won't just give you things, Juvia. You'll have to see underneath it and help out a little."

"How?" The Water Mage asked curious.

"I don't know." Lucy shrugged. "Maybe this baby was sent to you and Gray in order to bring you closer. Have you thought of that yet?" Juvia frowned. No, she didn't think of that. "Gray isn't a guy to open up like that, he has his luggage and that made him a little harder with relationships. I mean, destiny did its part to unfreeze his heart, now is up to you. I know Gray for seven years now and I can say that he wouldn't be with you for all this time if he didn't like you." Lucy said with certainty. "And he certainly wouldn't ask just any girl to marry him."

"But…" Juvia tried, but Lucy cut her off.

"I'm not saying to accept his proposal. I don't know if I would. I'm just saying that Gray's blind like that because he is a man. And in his own insensitive way he tried to be close to you and the baby. He's trying to fit in this whole situation. If you don't want to marry him like that, at least keep him close. Don't shut him down just because the things aren't the way you planned, okay?" Lucy asked and Juvia nodded. "The best things come to us as the most unexpected situations." The blond smiled and point it out to the Water Mage's belly, and she put a hand above it with a small smile.

"Natsu and I are going to the Guild, but when we come back, we're passing here to check on you, right?" Juvia nodded between tears. "If you need anything, just call me and I'll be here as soon as I can." Lucy hugged the other woman again. "Don't worry, okay? Things will look better soon enough."

"Thanks, Lucy-san." Juvia waved at the Stellar Spirit Mage while closing the door.

She was right. Things weren't as she planned so Juvia was just thinking that everything was wrong and nothing was going to be right anymore. And she was never like that; she liked to see the bright side of things but her life was so upside down that she wasn't seeing things straight anymore.

Gray was right in one aspect with the entire marriage thing: a baby needed a family but she wasn't going to accept his proposal because of it. She would probably be alone for the rest of her life but a marriage because of love was one of the things she appreciated the most.

"Mommy is being silly for not saying 'yes' to your Dad, baby?" She asked to her stomach. "I just hope you don't turn this on me someday."

Gray's plan made sense: they would live together without the strings of marriage, but together nonetheless. Raising the baby like they were supposed to do.

"And if someday…?" Juvia tried and again Gray cut her off.

"We're not talking about someday, Juvia. It's the 'now' that I'm concerned. If we face a problem later, we'll deal with it when it arrives." Gray dismissed her troubles. "We work fine together, Juvia. You and I have been partners in missions before and we always won. We've been seeing each other for half a year and I know your body better than you…"

"Gray-sama!" She exclaimed, red.

"It's true and you know it." Gray waved a hand with the comment. "And we are good together."

"Good together?" She frowned.

"When we're together we have fun." He shrugged. "We ended up laughing about something or talking about important things, but we are never bored and I like the company." Juvia smiled a little. Gray had no idea of what he was saying or how it meant to Juvia. He was dense like that and Lucy was right. He was trying to fit in the best he could and she was pushing him away.

Not anymore.

"You can stay, Gray-sama." She put a hand on his cheek. "We'll do this together."

"Damn right we will." He smiled as well and they stared at each other for some time before he talks again. "I think I'll go put my things on the bedroom."

"Yes. Sure." Juvia was so caught up on the situation that it looked like she had woken up. "I'll get this one." She was about to take one of his luggage when he dismissed her.

"No way. It's heavy and you're pregnant." He said taking both of the suitcases.

"But…"

"No buts!" He said entering her bedroom. "I said that I would be here to help out and make things easier, not harder for you."

"Gray-sama!" She tried to help again.

"Juvia, leave the freaking luggage!" He said.

"Knock, knock." Lucy said when Juvia opened the door later that night. "Sorry for coming in so late, but Natsu got into a fight with Elfman again and…" She stopped talking and walking when saw a half-naked Gray sitting on the couch. "Gray? What…?" She frowned and looked at Juvia in question.

"Hey, Ice Brain." Natsu smiled at his friend also entering Juvia's apartment.

"Yo, Fire Breath." Gray waved at him.

"What are you doing here?" Lucy asked, still not getting what she missed.

"I live here now." Gray smirked at her reaction.

Lucy's eyes became as huge. "You li… What?"

"Gray-sama and Juvia talked and we figured that it would be best if we lived together." The Water Mage said with a small smile. "He was right about the baby needing a family, so we thought it was the best."

Juvia gave Lucy a look that the blond understood.

"I see." The Stellar Spirit Mage smiled. "Then I'm happy for both of you."

"Thanks, Lucy-san." Juvia also smiled.

"So, when are you telling the rest of the guys?" Natsu asked sitting next to Gray.

"Yeah… we need to think of that." Gray looked in question to Juvia. "People will notice sometime."

"Yes. Juvia was thinking in other things so she never gave it too much thought." The Water Mage said deep in thought. "And since Gray-sama moved in here, they'll notice even more."

"Don't worry. They'll love the idea of another Fairy Tail baby!" Lucy said excited.

"Not Erza." Natsu said smirking. Gray went pale as Lucy gulped.

"Why not?" Juvia asked, confused.

"You should've seen her when she found out Lucy wasn't a virgin anymore." Natsu laughed. "Now that was a good fight."

"Natsu, I had to interfere and tell her we were going to get married so she would stop beating you." Lucy said in exasperation.

"Details." Natsu waved his hands, smirking.

"Why are you smiling like that?" Gray asked, but he already knew the answer.

"Well, if just because Lucy and I slept together before marriage she went insane, imagine when Erza figures it out that not only you had sex before married but you also got Juvia pregnant?" Natsu tapped Gray's back, laughing. "You are so dead!"

AN: A baby chapter, I know! It's just that I wanted to give you all a little gift after all the waiting! Hope you like it! Please, review in both chapters, okay? Your thoughts are always considered! :D

And about Erza, it is about time that she appears correctly, right? And I am sure that she would freak out to know about Juvia's pregnancy. Remember chapter 47 when she didn't let Lucy alone with Natsu and Gray, even though they had some kind of past with bathing together (by the way, what was that all about? :O). That was what I based.

And again, I hope it wasn't too OOC. :O But they needed to get along in some way and Juvia needs to see that not everything's gonna be how she likes, right? :)

Next chapter, the Guild will know about Juvia's pregnancy. How's Erza gonna take the news? :O

Oh, and some people asked about the elephant song...

The song goes like this:

Um elefante incomoda muita gente

One elephant bothers many people

Dois elefantes incomodam muito mais

Two elephants bother even more

Três elefantes incomodam muita gente

Three elephants bother many people

Quatro elefantes incomodam, incomodam, incomodam muito mais.

Four elephants bother, bother, bother even more

It's freaking annoying! Oh, man. I sang it so many times! I wasn't even aware that there didn't exist in English. You probably have your own in your own language, but this one… And the fun thing is the "bother" because you have to say it many times! Anyway, it's fun/annoying, that's why I put Natsu to sing it.

And anyway, my grandma had eleven children (Mom's the youngest) and those eleven children married, so I have like twenty uncles and aunts. And they had children, so my brother and I have only twenty six cousins. And those cousins are getting married and having babies (adding more cousins on the counting), so far there are eleven second degree cousins. And pretty much everyone was here this weekend to see me, so you can imagine the mess and another reason I couldn't write right this weekend! I tell everyone that our family's gonna take over the world if we keep procreating like that! :O

See why I like babies and make people pregnant? In my house, if you don't know how to hold a baby you can't come in. Seriously. We have white babies, black babies, oriental babies, blond babies, brunette babies, fat babies, thin babies, smiley babies, stubborn babies, annoying babies, sweet babies. You kinda can choose which one you want to hold. ;D

Ooooookay… there was a bunch of useless info… :O Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter! And sorry for the jibber jabber! :)
