"Juvia has no idea how to wrap this," Juvia said with a sigh, and Gray came up behind her with two mugs of hot chocolate in his hands.
His wife was sitting cross-legged on the floor with her hands buried in a sweater she got for Lucy. Gray chuckled and handed her a mug as he sat down beside her.
"Have you tried putting it in a box?" Gray teased, and Juvia smacked him on the arm playfully.
"Juvia tried. She couldn't find any boxes," she said sadly, and Gray wrapped his arms around his wife and began to wrap the blue sweater with skill.
Within thirty seconds, the sweater was wrapped with a bow on top and a place sticker written in Juvia's handwriting. Juvia stared at her husband in awe.
"How did Gray-sama know how to wrap presents so well?" she asked with a smile, taking a sip of her hot chocolate. Hers had extra marshmallows. Juvia loved sweet things, and Gray took that to his advantage when he made her treats.
"It's easy. You just pull this over here," he said, grasping her arm from behind her and pulling the wrapping paper towards her, "and then pull this over to this corner. Then you just do that again, and you've got a wrapped gift."
Juvia's cheeks flushed suddenly, causing Gray's mind to whir with thoughts. The woman got up quickly and retrieved a small box from under the tree and presented it to her husband.
"Juvia didn't want Gray to open this until Christmas, but this is a better time than later," Juvia said quietly, and Gray realized that she had used his actual name without the suffix.
"Alright," he said uneasily, and began to unwrap the small box slowly, his hands shaking. What did he have to give her that had to be unwrapped right away?
He opened the small box and pushed aside the tissue paper to reveal a pregnancy test.
It was positive.
"Juvia," Gray said, and he collected his wife in his arms immediately and spun and held her in the air. Juvia squealed and laughed, and they fell into a heap together on the couch.
"How did you find this out?" Gray asked, and Juvia blushed.
"Juvia missed her period and started to feel sick. Does Gray remember when Juvia had to miss that important mission with Natsu and Lucy earlier? She was throwing up and took the test then."
Gray's eyes shone at his wife, and he kissed her on the forehead. "You're going to be a great mother, Juvia."
"And Gray-sama is going to be a great father."
The rest of the evening was spent wrapping presents and preparing for the baby.
