So this is gonna be the last chapter of this story, then I'd begin writing other stories. Anyway, thanks for reading until the end. It's fun writing stories and knowing people appreciate them, specially because I'm new to writing fan fictions. Well, here goes.

3 years later

Earlier this morning, Erza and I went to Porlyusica to ask some questions and see if something's wrong with us. We had been married for a year and a half now, and we've been trying so hard for babies, but Erza just couldn't get pregnant. So we finally decided to seek help from Fairy Tail's Medical advisor. Sure, we already expected the worse, but it's just so much harder to hear in person. It's even harder to watch Erza cry.

It turns out Erza is incapable of being pregnant. Well, that isn't entirely true. But there's about 10 chances out of a million that Erza would develop a baby. This wasn't a rare occurrence, but there's something odd about ours. She says that it's almost like it was a curse or something similar. Erza was fertile before, and so was I. But somehow during the past 3-4 years, something happened. And she didn't know what. However, if she could point it out she might be able to help. And that's when it hit me. Memories of a dream came rushing back to me. It felt like something went through my head, I fell to my knees, clutching my head in agony. I saw a flash of red rush to my side, a blurred face forming words I couldn't understand.

"But I need you to forgive me one last time." The voice played over and over again in my head, I willed it to stop, but when it did. It was replaced by another,

"There's a price to pay." This was Ultear's voice. Odd scenes of a bright room suddenly came gushing into my head, as if the memory was trapped somewhere for a long time that when it broke free, it wanted so bad to be remembered that it played over and over again in my head.

"I hope you forgive me for this." Again, it was Ultear, her voice played like a broken record that I couldn't stop. But it somehow stopped on its own, then the last I heard before I fell unconscious was, "You'll see."


When I woke up, Erza was looking over me, her face filled with worry. I sat up, then pulled her closer to me. "I'm fine Erza. Don't worry about me. After everything you've been through, I shouldn't add up to your stress."

She put her arms around me and started sobbing.

"Shh, it's okay Erza. None of this is your fault." I stroked her scarlet locks which were tangled and messy. She clearly was preoccupied that she didn't have time to fix her appearance. Not that I mind.

"Jellal," she croaked out.

"What did we do to deserve this?" she cried.

"I kissed the top of her head. Erza was breaking down. I needed to be strong and steady to put her broken pieces back. So I did. "Erza, you didn't do anything. It's my fault."

She banged on my chest and said in a muffled voice, "How is it yours, idiot."

I sighed and made her face me. She looked away, however. "Erza, you have to listen to me."

She looked at me with her round and glassy brown orbs and mumbled an, "okay."

"You better not think I'm crazy after this. Around 4 years ago, I got a visit from my future self. He told me Ultear sent him there using her magic to change our future. He told me you were gonna die during Zeref's war."

Erza looked like she was gonna say something so I hushed her, "Let me finish."

"I never told anyone that. But he told me what the future was like, and he wanted me to change some thing, but not too much. And I did change our future. I stopped you from dying. Remember that time you stood frozen, staring at Zeref with wide eyes when you realized something? You were supposed to die there. But you didn't. And if you didn't die there, you would have died a few seconds later, but I blocked the attack for you." I paused, letting her take it all in before continuing, "I, too, was supposed to die. But Ultear once again helped me. I thought it was a dream, but it turns out it was Ultear reaching out to me. And she told me, that there was a price for my life."

Erza stared at me, eyes wide and over flowing with tears. "I- I don't kno-"

"I'm sorry Erza, if Ultear hadn't saved me, you would be able to have a baby. You would probably have one right now, running around and laughing. You should have married a different man" I look down and stare at my hands. Erza wanted a baby so badly, she deserved everything she wanted, but I couldn't give it to her.

"Don't say that. I would rather have none than to have them with a man other than you."

We continued on consoling each other that we didn't realize that someone might have overheard our conversation. We decided not to tell anyone and jut stay as we are. But Porlyusica thought otherwise. Overhearing our conversation, she devised a cure. We didn't know about it until after 18 months later.


18 months later

It was just a normal day in the guild. Natsu running around with his son, being pursued by an affectionate Uncle Gajeel (or maybe not) Juvia was cooing at their 4 month old offspring. And Levy was reading a book about parenting. Everyone knew she was pregnant since she was becoming very interested in maternal books and often gets mood swings, not to mention her sudden cravings and her morning sickness. Only dense headed Gajeel didn't realize that. No one told thin though. Everyone wanted Levy to break it to Gajeel. We just didn't know how long it would take.

Meanwhile, Erza was chatting with Mira about their 2 year old daughter and their 3 month old son while eating cake. Soon enough, a very tired looking Lighting Dragon Slayer came in, sitting next to me.

"Yo," he said, I noticed he had dark circles under his eyes and his blonde hair was unkempt.

"Didn't get much sleep, did you?"

"Nope." I chuckled at his response. And he looked at me, puzzled. He didn't say anything funny, it's just that it's weird not having him say sarcastic remarks. He probably was too tired to think of one.

His stomach started growling but he didn't order, instead he leaned lazily over the counter and took a nap.

"Mira, can I have 2 slices of toast, an egg and some bacon. Oh and two cups of coffee please." The man was worn out and the least I could do was treat him to a breakfast, when he couldn't even speak to order for himself. I wonder how Mira was so cheerful though, she didn't look tired at all.

Mira placed my order in front of me and gave me a cheerful smile, "Thank you for doing this for him. He still hasn't gotten used to fatherhood."

I smiled back and said, "No problem." as I shook awake a terribly sleepy dragon slayer. Everyone knew it wasn't a good idea to wake Laxus up. But I was an exception. Usually being his best friend wasn't a good enough excuse to wake him up. But when you're his best friend who comes bearing food and coffee, he would let you slide.

I drank from my own cup and raised an eyebrow as Erza dashed towards the women's washroom. I looked over Mira questionably but she just shrugged and said, "She was eating cake when she gagged and that's when she ran over to the washroom."

"The cake must have been spoiled," Mira says while picking up Erza's cake and throwing it out. I walked over to the ladies' washroom and waited outside. A minute later, Erza came out, clutching her stomach.

"I puked out the precious strawberry cake!" she cried

I put my arm around her, "That's alright, I'll get you another one. Are you alright now?"

She pouted and nodded meekly. Lately, my wife has been acting strange, she's moody most of the time, then sometimes she's all sweet and cute but it turns out, she's just craving for sweets. If I didn't know better, I'd think that Erza was pregnant. But there's no way that'd happen.

When we came back to the guild hall everyone was quiet, they were staring at us. "Is everything alright?" I asked.

Natsu was the one who spoke up, "Does Erza have an egg inside her?" Everyone face palmed, and Lucy whacked him in the head saying, "Erza's not a dragon, Natsu!"

Natsu rubbed his head and mumbled, "She's scary enough to be one."

Lucy jumped in front of us waving her hands, "He didn't mean it that way, we were just wondering if Erza was perhaps, pregnant?"

It was our turn to react. Erza jumped back saying, "EHHH?!"

I chuckled at this, "That simply can't be."

Laxus, who had regained his energy gave me a friendly slap (Well for Laxus, his friendly slap is a bone-breaking one) "Why not? Haven't been doing it much with Erza, huh?"

My face went red at this, "Of-ofcourse not, it's jus that-" How do I explain this without telling them everything? I didn't have time to think about this since Porlyusica answered for us. "18 months ago, Jellal and Erza discovered they couldn't conceive a baby, so they sought my help. And It turns out, they were under a sort of spell. Unbeknownst to them, I heard their conversation and was able to come up with a cure 3 months ago. I slipped the cure in Jellal's morning coffee and Erza's strawberry shake. I've come back to see if it worked, and it turns out it did."

Nobody spoke for a while, and when somebody did, it was Porlyusica once again. "Congratulations." Then she left the guild. I looked at my wife and lifted her up and span her around, "We're having a baby!" Then I realized something, I hadn't thanked Porlyusica, so I rushed out the guild to thank her. When I finally caught up to her using my Meteor, "No need to thank me, I did it because I wanted to. Now get away, I son't like humans!" I just smiled and thanked her again before rushing to the guild.

The ladies were circled around Erza cooing at her stomach and patting it. Natsu was looking over curiously asking questions. Seriously, Lucy was pregnant before, don't tell me he was clueless the entire time. Laxus came over me and punched me good-naturedly. "So, a few months more and I'd be the one ordering breakfast for you while you sleep on the counter, huh?" I smiled, I can't wait to have a son or daughter running around. "I guess you're right."

That day, I couldn't wish for anything else. We were gonna have a baby and Erza was happier than I've ever seen before. The guild hosted a party for us and we celebrated to our hearts' content.


Author's Note:

This wasn't supposed to be a happy ending but I don't know, I just felt sad about the thought of Erza childless so I changed the original ending. Anyway, thanks for reading! I'll be coming up with more stories soon (Hopefully, I'll get better at writing.) :)
