-Eleven-

Juvia and Gray were lying on the bed of her, no... their apartment. That night was the night Gray moved in and both of them couldn't sleep.

"Are you awake?" Juvia whispered in the dark.

"Yeah." Gray responded.

"Oh…" She said and they fell into silence again.

"Okay, this is strange." Gray said after a while; bothered. He reached out the lamp that was on the side of the bed. "How can this be odd when for the past six months we've been screwing each other's brains out?" Of course, Juvia blushed at that point. "I mean, we're just sleeping here!"

"Well… maybe that's why it's strange." Juvia mumbled and Gray looked at her in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"I… don't know. Maybe while we've been seeing each other we didn't bother with sleeping because before fall asleep we've been real… intimate, so we didn't get concerned about it." Juvia tried to explain and Gray looked at her, apparently thinking about what she just said.

"Nah…" He shook his head. "No way. People don't need intimacy to sleep. After the parties at the Guild, everyone sleeps in there." He scoffed. "I think that we're not tired enough." Gray turned to look at Juvia and stayed on his side using his hand to support his head. "Let's talk."

"About what?" She mimicked his position and with it, they were facing each other.

"I think it's pretty clear that our most popular subject in the next seven months or so will be." He smirked.

"Yes…" Juvia also smiled and put a hand on her stomach. Gray looked to where her hand was and frowned a bit.

"What it's like?" Juvia looked up, frowning. "To have the baby inside you, I mean. Has he moved yet?" The Water Mage giggles with that.

"No. It's gonna take a while for the baby to move so I can feel it."

"How do you know that?" Gray asked curious. Did every woman was born knowing about being pregnant?

"I bought a book." Juvia shrugged. "When I was at the store buying baby clothes a few weeks ago."

"You bought clothes? Already?" Gray found it strange. Was he supposed to buy stuff as well? Wasn't it too soon? Or was it? What the hell did he know about buying clothes for anyone else but himself? The only thing he bought for the kid was the stuffed animals.

'Awesome. I buy stuffed animals while she bought clothes, which the kid will actually need.' Gray thought hitting himself mentally. 'Great start on parenthood, Fullbuster. Really.'

"I bought it because they were so cute…" Juvia smiled. "I had just left the doctor when I passed in front of that store close to the river." Gray nodded; he knew where it was. He and Juvia had bought presents for the babies from the Guild in there. "I was so happy that I couldn't resist."

"So, this book… what else does it say about what we can do right now?" He asked, curious. "Do we have to buy something specific?" Juvia looked down thinking for a second.

"I guess not." She sat and reached out for the lamp on her side of the bed. She opened a drawer and took a book from inside. Gray mimicked her and sat as well. "Found it." She said reaching the chapter she was looking for. She looked to the Ice Mage. "We, the doctor and I, calculate that the baby's about 9 weeks by now. Here," She handed him the opened book. "read this."

Gray took the book and started to read out loud.

"We have elbows! Your baby is now approximately 13-17 mm crown to rump length, or about 0.51 - 0.66 inches. S/he also weighs in at 1 gram! Toe rays are present as the toes begin to form. Gonads have become testes (for boys) or ovaries (for girls). Baby will move away if touched through the uterine wall, and can spontaneously move as well. Ossification (hardening) of the bones may begin."

Right under the text, there was a picture of a fetus, still in the womb. It was a very good picture because Gray could see the little guy's form.

Gray was shocked with the euphoria that took over him.

"Does…" He gasped. "Does ours look like this one?" Juvia hugged his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder; nodding with a smile on her lips. "Wow." He let out a breath, but laughing at the same time. "I… I thought the kid was still, you know… a little ball, or something. But look!" He pointed out to the picture. "It looks like it's human." He laughed. "What else does it says?" He started to read the text that was under the picture.

"Although the baby is still very small, it is beginning to look more like a human being." Gray stopped reading and looked to Juvia. "Told ya it looked human." Juvia smiled back at him as he restarted his reading. "Your baby's back is straightening out and the tail is shrinking." He stopped reading to laugh. "A tail! Oh, boy. This sure is fun." Then continue to read. "In proportion to the rest of his body, the head is large and remains curved forwards onto the chest. The head is erect and the neck is developing well. Even though the eyes are well developed, they are covered by a membrane lid. The eyes will not begin to open and close for quite some time still. Your baby will begin to make tiny fetal movements as the muscles start to develop. You will not be able to feel any of these early movements, but you might be able to see them during an ultrasound."

Gray frowned. "An what?"

"Ultrasound." Juvia murmured sleepily. "It is how people manage to take that picture above."

"We are so having one." Gray smiled. He was excited to have a way to see their baby. That little picture was great and all for motivation, but wasn't his child. "The arms and hands are progressing faster than the legs and feet at this point. By this time of fetal development, the hands have defined finger ridges and the tissue between them will die off to leave separate fingers. It is impossible to distinguish a male from a female at this time because external genitalia look very similar at this point." Gray scoffed. "Yeah, right. If our baby's a boy, he is already showing his business. Right, Juv…?" Gray stopped talking when he looked down and saw a sleeping Juvia. Her short hair was a little messy and she was still hugging his arm.

He smiled at her. She looked like a child with the pink pj's and the innocent expression on her face. Gray returned to the reading, leaving Juvia in the same position. He would put her in a better way later. For the time being, he would read about the eight weeks previous to know what he missed and he'd like to have her close to him like that.

Before continue to read, he thought of what she said earlier about the intimacy. Was it anything more intimate than share a child? He smiled and shook his head. Juvia was going to drive him nuts anytime soon.

After a week living together, Gray learned about something about pregnancies: it sucked. Really. He knew that girls were strong but what Juvia's been through was torture. Every day, he would wake in the middle of the night only to find her bending over a toilet, throwing up everything she ate. And when she was done, she would come back to sleep, only to throw up again early in the morning.

Gray was concerned.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Gray asked in the kitchen while pouring some water on a glass for her. "You don't look so good." He grabbed some crackers and hand it over to her. She was currently resting her head on the table.

"I don't feel so good." Juvia raised her head and took the food. She ate the crackers because it was a duty. She needed to eat something and in the morning, and she couldn't eat anything else that early.

"We need to talk to the doctor about this. It can't be normal." Gray sat beside her. He woke up before her and ate his food. He learned in the hardest way that she didn't like the smell of coffee in the morning. Besides, she was tired and deserved more time to sleep. And he would've let her rest if it wasn't the day of the first consult with the doctor. Well, his first anyways.

"It is normal." Juvia mumbled. "Unfortunately."

Gray smiled a little. "Finish eating and we'll be off."

Gray's eyes were huge to see how many pregnant ladies were in there. Some of them already had a small kid and was big again, expecting another one. Some men were there as well. There was a fat one that Gray was sure was competing with his wife to see who had the bigger belly.

"Woah. Magnolia will have an epidemic of babies soon enough." Gray said surprised and Juvia smiled at him. She was feeling better and was in good mood.

"What did you expected? We're in an OB." She giggled and went and sat on an empty chair, beside a woman that Gray thought it was going to explode anytime soon while he stayed on his feet because of the lack of place for him to sit.

"Juvia Loxar?" A nurse called after half an hour, which while they waited, Juvia talked with the woman next to her about babies, of course, and Gray listened about swollen ankles and sketch marks. He was pretty sure Juvia was worried after the talk.

Juvia got up and followed the woman with Gray by her side.

"Good morning, Juvia-san." The doctor said when they entered the room.

Gray was surprised with the woman. She seemed… crazy. The woman was in her mid-thirties, brown messy hair in a loose ponytail and glasses so thick that he couldn't tell what color her eyes were.

"Good morning, Marcella-san." Juvia smiled to the woman and Gray nodded.

"And who is this?" The brunette asked looking to Gray with curiosity. "He wasn't with you before, was he?" She frowned.

"No, he wasn't." Juvia sat on the chair in front of the doctor's desk. "This is the baby's father."

"Gray Fullbuster." The Ice Mage offered his hand, which Marcella took it and started to shake uncontrollable and started to make some noise that he assumed it was her laughter.

"Gray! Hahaha!" She laughed and he frowned. "See? I'm Marcella Garry! Hahaha! Gray, Garry! Gray, Garry! Gray, Garry! Gray, Garry! Garry, Gray!"

When she finally released his hand, she sat on her chair and makes a move with a hand to let him know that he could sit next to Juvia. The Water Mage was smiling the whole time and smiled even more when Gray sat beside her and whispered:

"This woman is crazy."

"So, Juvia." Marcella said looking to a paper on her desk. "You had some bleeding?" Both Juvia and Gray were surprised with her acknowledge on the subject. Noticing that, she cleared things. "Whenever a patient of mine is admitted at the hospital, they send the files to me."

"Oh." Juvia said.

"So, wanna tell me about it?" Marcella looked a little bit serious at that point.

"I had some bleeding two weeks ago and passed out." Juvia mumbled uncomfortable. She didn't like to think about when she thought she was going to lose her baby and had a fight with Gray in the same day.

"Okay." Marcella said after some time looking to Juvia. "Your doctor was Yuna Normand, right?" Juvia nodded. "She's a friend of mine and a terrific doctor; so I know you were treated very well." She smiled and Juvia did too. "So, should I explain how magic influence your pregnancy?"

"Doctor Yuna explained it to me when I was at the hospital." Juvia said and Marcella nodded. "She thought it was best for me to know about it soon."

"I see." The brunette looked to Gray. "And you? Are you familiar with it? She can perform small magic, but no fighting at all." The doctor sent him a severe look. "I mean it."

"Yes. Juvia explained to me all about it." He nodded. "And I'll make sure that she won't fight."

"Good then." Marcella smiled. "So, Juvia. Let's step on the balance?" The Water Mage looked apprehensive for a moment and the doctor giggled at it. "It doesn't matter who is it, about 99% of women doesn't want to, but it's necessary to know your weight in order to see if your baby's getting enough nutrients."

Juvia got up and went after the doctor. Gray didn't pay attention on the whispering coming from there, because he was interested in the photographs on the wall.

"Hey doc. You know Mirajane and Visca?" Gray asked finding pictures of both of them on the wall with Luke and Polvora.

"Yes. They were my patients." Marcella said returning to her spot behind the desk. "Lovely girls. Love-love-lovely." She sang the last part and Gray frowned. How that… woman became a doctor?

"That's why Marcella-san is my doctor." Juvia said softly. "I figure it that she already had the experience with mages mothers, she would be perfect for the job."

"Oh, I see." Gray said. "So, how's the weight thingy?" He asked.

"Let's say that is normal." Marcella said amused.

"Oh, how much you gained already?" Gray asked to Juvia.

"Gray-sama!" Juvia blushed. "Y-you don't need to know that!" She looked away from him, and he was a little surprised with her outburst.

"Okay." And looked to Marcella in confusion.

"It's very traumatizing to women when they gain weight like that." Marcella smiled.

"But… they know they will get even bigger." Gray frowned and Juvia made a sound of exasperation.

"They just do. Well, now I'm gonna prescribe some pre-natal vitamins for you, Juvia. You really need to take those." Marcella started to write things down. "Take these every morning." She looked up. "Oh, yeah. How's the morning sickness?"

"Normal." Juvia said at the same time that Gray said "Awful."

Marcella raised her eyebrows.

"It is horrible." Gray said. "She wakes in the middle of the night to throw up! That is not normal at all, Juvia. You know."

Juvia hesitated and finally gave in to Gray's look.

"Yes, Marcella-san." Juvia bit her lower lip. "It's a little too much, I guess."

"You don't need to make a strong façade here, Juvia." The doctor shook her head in disapproval. "You need to tell me everything. It's your baby we're talking about here." Gray nodded in agreement. She almost looked like a doctor when she was serious.

"I'm sorry." Juvia's eyes watered.

"No need to apologize, dear." Marcella looked like a crazy person again.

"Oh, right. And about an ultrasound? Can we have one?" Gray sounded excited. Juvia looked up with expectation as well.

"Well," The doctor dropped her pen. "if Juvia was a normal pregnant woman, we could have one with the equipment we have here, but since she's a mage, I'm afraid we can't."

"Why's that?" Juvia asked confused.

"Because of the magic surrounding your womb." Marcella said. "It interferes with the ultrasound and we can't see or hear a thing." The doctor, noticing how down they were, added. "I'm sorry." She returned to write down, but stopped almost in the same time. "Oh, but there is a Magical Research Laboratory two towns down here that probably have the equipment that could…"

"No." Gray shook his head.

"What? Gray-sama she's saying that they can show us the baby." Juvia said excited.

"No." Gray was irreducible. Juvia frowned with his reaction. The days before he wanted to have an ultrasound to see the baby, but at that moment, he was shaking his head lightly, like he was thinking about something and refusing the idea.

"Okay. We won't go." She said softly. "In seven months we'll see our baby, right?"

"Yes." He responded while she grabbed his hand, which he squeezed a little. They looked into each other's eyes for some time.

"You two are so cute!" Marcella said and they forgot she was even there. "No wonder there's a baby on the way."

"Oh, right. That reminds me that I need to ask you something." Gray was serious. "can we have sex?"

"Gray-sama!" Juvia exclaimed with horror.

"What? She's the baby doctor, Juvia. It's not like she thinks I got you pregnant by holding your hand!"

"So… this is it." Gray said to Juvia, and she nodded.

Both of them were in front of the Guild. During the week they've been living together, they came up with lots of plans to deliver the news about their child on the way. And they were finally ready and with a plan.

"Remember, if Erza comes to kill me, you…" Gray was saying but Juvia interfered.

"I put myself in front of you, out a hand on my belly and yell 'The baby, the baby!'" She said amused. After he moved in, Juvia was a little more comfortable around him, even making some jokes. He kind of liked it.

"Yeah, funny." Gray rolled his eyes while she giggled. "If she comes for me, you get out of the way, got it?"

"Yes." Juvia was still giggling.

"Juvia…" Gray growled. "I meant it. Let her, okay. Don't throw yourself in front of me like Lucy did with Natsu." Juvia nodded. "Okay, let's get inside, then."

Gray took her hand on his and they started to walk in

Mirajane was having such a nice day, so far. She woke up with the sound of her husband and her son playing on the living room; Luke ate everything she put on his plate and Fried promised her to stay in Magnolia for another week before taking a job. It wasn't getting better than that.

At least that was what she thought before seeing Gray and Juvia. Together. Holding hands.

She stopped talking to Erza. She stopped cleaning the glass she was holding. Heck, she even stopped to breath for a moment there.

'Ohmigod!' she thought. 'Is it finally happening?'

When people started to notice the couple, everybody was with wide eyes and in shock. The guys stopped to fight, the girls stopped to gossip and even Cana stopped her drinking. Gray cleared his throat to get attention. As if he needed with every single person looking at both him and Juvia.

"So, guys. Listen up." He said loud enough for everyone to hear. "I'm gonna say this once and not gonna repeat myself." The Ice Mage looked down to Juvia, who gave him a small smile. He looked up again and said "Juvia and I are…"

"DATING!" Mirajane yelled in delight, at the same time when Gray was talking.

"…having a baby."

"I KNEW IT WAS A MATTER OF TIME!" Mira squealed as everybody stood there in shock. Realizing what Gray had just said, she stopped again. "Wait, what?"

"Oh, man." He groaned. "I said that I would tell just once." The guild was so silent that if a needle was dropped, everyone would hear it.

"I…" Juvia said timidly, hugging Gray's arm. "I'm pregnant."

One, two, three, four, five and the Guild exploded with party.

"Congratulations you two!"

"Wow, a baby? That's so cool!"

"You scored high, Gray. Juvia-chan is a very nice girl."

"Juvia, I'm so happy for you!"

People was surrounding them and making all types of questions, while Mira was still in shock herself.

"OH. MY. GOD!" Mira's squeals were heard by everyone. Even Polly woke up from her nap in Alzack's arms with it. "OHMYGOD, OHMYGOD, OHMYGOD, OHMYGOD, OHMYGOD, OHMYGOD!" She jumped up and down and ran towards both of them, and, putting an arm in each Juvia and Gray, giving them a hug. "I'm so happy for you!" And, the way she was crying, she certainly was happy for them.

"Thanks, Mira-san." Juvia smiled and returned the hug.

"Thank God I saved some of my maternity clothes! You'll look a-do-ra-ble!" Mira let them go. Gray was rolling his eyes while Juvia was still with the happy face.

"Oh, I did too!" Visca appeared next to Mirajane with Polvora on her arms, trying to figure it out what everyone was happy about. "Anything you need, Juvia, all you'll have to do is ask." The green haired woman smiled to the Water Mage.

Alzack was patting Gray's back with a big smile.

"You will be a good dad, Gray." He said and Gray hoped he was right.

But they forgot about one person.

"A baby?" Erza muttered from her spot and Mira snapped out of it feeling the pissed angry aura.

She was happy for Gray and Juvia, but Erza… Mira knew that the Titania would be also happy, but sex before marriage was something she was against and the red haired tended to be a little… rough to make her point. So she left the newest couple of Fairy Tail to join her old friend.

"Erza…" Mirajane said concerned. "Don't." The Titania had a confused face. If Juvia was pregnant, it meant that she and Gray became intimate before properly married.

"Pregnant?" She whispered in shock.

"Erza…" Mirajane tried again, whispering. She looked up to see that Gray and Juvia were still together, receiving congratulations from every single person and then looked to her old friend again. "Don't go ballistic on them, okay?"

"Gray! Juvia!" The red haired yelled and everyone went silent. The couple gasped at the sight of Erza. She was on her feet, letting all of her bad aura come out. Her hair was actually covering her eyes, making her look even scarier. "I'd like to have a word with you two in the infirmary." Nobody moved. "Now!" She yelled the last part and went to the place she asked them to go.

They gulped but started to follow her, but before give a step, Visca handed Polvora to Juvia.

"Here. Take her." Visca mumbled.

"Why?" Juvia took the girl anyways. Polly had the dark hair of her father and her mother's brown eyes and she was just cute with her green dress and short hair, with a small ribbon on top of her head.

"You're not showing your pregnancy yes, so, if she goes crazy, use Polly as a human shield." Visca nodded. "She's too adorable and Erza would never hurt her." She looked to Gray in sorrow. "It was great to meet you, Gray. When you're gone, we'll take good care of your child."

"Thanks, Visca." Gray said rolling his eyes.

When the four of them, Erza, Juvia, Polvora and himself were inside the infirmary, he closed the door and looked to his doom; Titania.

'Okay, my new goal is to get out of this room alive to at least see the kid I'll be beat out for!' Gray thought groaning.

AN: Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry and sorry for the delay! Things were a little too crazy in here, but… I'M BACK! *-*

Ok, I need to tell this: Marcella was supposed to be a kind and old woman, but when I realized her last name was Garry, the "Gray, Garry" thingy came on my mind and I decided to make her a little nuts. And I loved how she turned out. What do you think?

I know that Zeref said "I'm glad you're both okay" to Juvia and Meredy, but I can't help but think that Juvia was open eyed when he did his magic, unlike Meredy. I hate to see her down like that and until I see her bugging Gray again, I'll be deadly worried.

And, btw… WTF was that Creepy Meredy looking at Ultear? I don't like it.

Anyway, THANK YOU for reviewing! And I was surprised when I saw that even when I didn't updated there were still 901 visitors on this story! I love you all so much! *-* Please, continue to make me this happy, okay?

So, this chapter sucked? I hope not! ;D
