Gazille x Levi 11
"Levi wake up." Wendy said carefully nudging the older girl.
"Hm, what is it Wendy?" Levi said feeling out for the little girl's hand.
"I smell Natsu and Gazille, and others." Wendy said, her breathing labored.
"We are going to be ok Wendy. They'll get us out of here." Levi said through labored breathing.
After short while Wendy broke the silence again. "We are almost out of air, but I can hear them yelling for us." Wendy said. Levi could hear the little girl on the verge of crying. Levi squeezed her hand. " I can hear a weird noise to and a strange smell."
"Don't worry Wendy, they will… ah!" Levi cried out softly, fighting to control her breathing even through the pain.
"Levi was it another contraction?" Wendy asked worried.
"Yes, but don't worry it'll be ok. The babies are going to be ok too." Levi said rubbing the little girl's hand. They sat in silence a bit more trying to conserve their air. A few pieces of dirt and rock fell onto Wendy and Levi breaking the silence.
"What was that?" Wendy asked trying to look around.
"I don't…I do…" levy trailed off unable to finish her sentence as she slipped unconscious.
"Levi?" Wendy called out barely, squeezing her hand. "Levi?"
Sudden a dim light broke through the ground above their heads, followed by the cute face of Virgo before she disappeared. Lucy couldn't hold her gate open any longer.
"We found them!" Gazille said his voice full of relief as he gazed down the hole Virgo had made. "Way to go bunny girl!"
"Hurry move aside!" Ren yelled before forcing down a stream of fresh air to the girls. Wendy took her first deep breath in hours and coughed.
"Wendy, Levi are you ok? We are coming down for you!" Natsu yelled down. Lily quickly dove down into the hole first.
"Thank god you are ok." Lily said seeing the little girls tear and dirt covered face looking back at him.
"But Levi's not she just passed out lily, and I think the babies are coming." Wendy said coughing as lily turned his attention Levi, his eyes going wide.
"Babies? What babies?" Gazille asked already started to climb down the hole.
"Gazille hurry your ass up! Levi's in big trouble!" he placed a paw in front of Levi's mouth and nose to feel her breathing, it was labored but there. Lily grabbed Wendy and flew her out past Gazille. He set her in Lucy's arms. Who was sitting on the ground trying to catch her breathe. She was sweating from the effort of keeping Virgo's gate open. "Lucy, Levi's unconscious and Wendy says she thinks she was about to go into labor." Lucy's mouth gapped open in shock and fear for her friend.
"Ren we need as much fresh air down there as you can. Levi's barely breathing." Lily said headed back to the hole.
"You've got it." Ren replied using his magic to clear the air in the tunnel.
"What they hell are you talking about cat? What are you talking about babies and labor and shit?" Gazille said picking up the pace as he climbed down. He couldn't just jump or he might land on Levi.
"Gazille, don't worry about it right now. Just worry about getting Levi out of this death trap." Lily said flying down to Levi and pressing his head to her stomach. He sighed with relief. He could hear the babies' heart beats. Gazille landed on the ground next to Levi and gaped at her wide eyed. "Be careful lifting her, I think her arm's broken." Lily said.
"She's… she's…" Gazille stuttered.
"She's in trouble Gazille and needs to get out of this hole. Get her above ground before you start freaking out!" lily yelled trying to bring Gazille's attention back to the reality of the situation. Gazille knelt down and carefully lifted her into his arm. Lily gingerly lifted Levi's broken and swollen arm onto her belly.
Gazille shot metal bars from his legs, lifting the 3 of them to the surface with lily exhausted on his shoulder. Once out of the hole, he knelt down with Levi and carefully laid her on the ground. "No Gazille! Sit her up leaning against you." Lucy said coming over to them. Ren had Wendy on his hip caring her over to the group.
Natsu whizzed past everyone as Gazille repositioned Levi as Lucy had order, and put his head on Levi's belly. A wide grin spread across his face and a few tears. "I can hear their heart beats. And one of them just kicked me!" Natsu said.
"Move aside Natsu and help me get Levi's legs up." Lucy said bending Levi's knees as she knelt in front of her. Natsu reached around and held Levi's knees.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" Gazille yelled shocked as Lucy hiked up Levi's skirt.
"Gazille, shut up. I have to see how close she is to giving birth, and I don't know what happens if the babies have to come out while she's unconscious." Lucy said sliding Levi's panties down. Lily moved behind her and spread his wings to keep Wendy and Ren from getting too much of a view.
"I… I don't get it." Gazille said staring dumbfounded.
"I don't think her waters even broke yet I think we've got some time but we have to get her to a hospital or something, at least someone who knows how to deliver a baby." Lucy said.
Natsu smiled at Gazille, a big grin. "You left Levi with one hell of a parting gift."
"They're… they're mi…" Gazille stammered.
Levi groaned, "of coarse they are yours idiot. You don't trust me to be loyal while you're gone?" Levi said with a cough and small grin. She kept her eyes closed though as she yelled at in a pain a few seconds later.
"You're ok!" Gazille said wrapping his arms tightly around he shoulders rubbing his head against hers. Levi felt his tear drops fall onto her shoulder before she heard the sobs.
"Ssshh, ok Gazille. I'm alright." She said with a cough.
Ren knelt down besides her and increased the density of the air around her. "Take it easy, we just barely got to you time." Levi smiled at him nodding in gratitude.
Lucy smiled at Levi, and then gave Natsu a death glare daring him to say anything about Gazille's tears, but to her surprise Natsu moved around and patted Gazille on the back. "It's ok metal head."
Lucy gently lowered Levi's legs. "How close are your contractions Levi?" she asked.
"Not to terrible Lucy. I'll be ok for a while." Levi answered placing a hand over Gazille's arm rubbing it. She leaned forward and placed a kiss on his arm. "Honey what's wrong? You don't normally cry Gazille."
"I'm so happy you guys are ok." Gazille wailed out through his sobs. "It's all my fault you guys got hurt," he continued sobbing and sniffling. "And it's my entire fault you're knocked up and I left you, and I'm going to be a horrible father." He wailed.
"Gazille it's not your they got hurt, it's that bastard's fault." Lucy said strongly. Wendy scooted up to Gazille hugging him, nodding her head up and down in agreement with Lucy.
"Besides lug head you are going to be a great dad." Natsu said smiling. Gazille looked up for a moment tears still running down his face. "You just found out you are going to be a dad and you already love them with all your heart." Natsu continued. "That's all you need to be a good dad. Just like our dads."
"Awe Natsu" the 3 girls said in unison. As Gazille's lip quivered as he sucked in a deep breathe and kissed Levi on the cheek still sobbing.
"There, there. Everything's ok now and everyone's ok." Levi said before hissing in pain. "You will be a great dad Gazille."
"Another contraction?" Lucy asked. Levi just nodded, patting Gazille on the head with her good hand.
"Gazille those tears are so unbefitting of your dark demeanor." Lily said lightly patting his friend on the boot.
"I don't care asshole!" Gazille said still holding onto Levi like nothing else in the world mattered. Lily just chuckled.
"As touching and happy as this moment really is and I know everyone is exhausted, but we should really be heading back into town." Ren said lifting Wendy onto his back.
"Yes, yes." Lily said. "Natsu why don't you carry Lucy. I'm sure she's exhausted to." He patted Lucy on the leg. She smiled and stood up. Natsu came over and heaved her onto his back.
"Careful Luc of where you squeeze your legs. I'm pretty sure I've bruised my ribs." Natsu said flinching as Lucy put her legs around his sides.
"Sorry," she said laying her head on his shoulder.
Gazille carefully stood pulling Levi up with him, care to mind her bad arm. He stared at her for a minute before Levi took his hand and placed it on her belly as lily flew up to Gazille's shoulder. "We are having twins Gazille. A baby girl and a baby boy." She said softly. Gazille had a fresh wave of tears slide down his cheeks as he felt the slight tap against his hand of one of his children kicking in Levi's belly. He wiped his face with his hand roughly before moving to lift Levi into his arms. "No, no, I want to walk." Levi said. "Been cramped up to long."
"But…" Gazille started.
"Nope, I'm fine, I promise. It helps my back." Levi said and started walking. Gazille walked by her side one arm around her shoulder and the other hand intertwined with her good one.
"You are one hell of trooper." Gazille said kissing Levi on the head.
"So, Gazille I can be the god father right?" Natsu said beaming and running up besides the couple.
"Like hell you are!" lily said looking at the pink haired dragon. "I'd get to be the god father before you!"
"What's a god father?" Wendy asked.
"It's just a title mostly, but it's like if something happened and Gazille and Levi couldn't take care of the kids. They'd go to the god parents." Lucy said.
"Why the hell do you want to be the god father of my kids Natsu?" Gazille asked staring at Natsu dumfounded.
"Cause kids are cute and fun." Natsu said with a grin. "Besides we are both dragons, it makes sense that'd I'd be the god father." He said shooting a confident smile at lily.
"Oh like hell that puts you in front of me! I'm Gazille's best friend and his cat! And I'm not an idiot. So that puts me in front of you!" lily said jutting a paw at Natsu.
"Uh you guys, Levi gets to pick too. It's not just Gazille's decision. And I'm sure she'd pick a girl, a beautiful and caring girl, that would make a good mother figure for her two kids." Lucy said with a confident smile.
"I guess that leaves you out." Lily, Gazille and Natsu said in unison.
"What?" Lucy wailed angrily. As Levi giggled at her friend.
"After everything that's happened today you guys are really going to fight over this? Now? Really?" Ren asked starring that the small group of friends.
"Hell yes we are! Cause there is no way Natsu gets to be the god father and I not qualified to be the god mother!" Lucy yelled.
"Who said Natsu was going to be the god father?" lily and Gazille both yelled back. Levi giggled again before pausing and groaning at another contraction.
Ren just stared at them shocked as they made their way back to town. "Don't worry Ren; this is just how fairy tail is. We are a little weird." Wendy said beaming a smile.
"I'll say." Ren replied, as the 3 mages and cat continued to argue about who'd be the best god parent.
