AN: Happy Mother's day, guys!

Syrup, Parks and Naps

#

Juvia smiled when she felt lips on her neck and her name being called, softly. "Good morning."

"Good morning." She whispered, eyes still closed and she felt his hands caressed her body slowly. Juvia opened one eye and saw the time. "Isn't it too early to be up?"

"I needed some alone time with you before the little demon runs to our bed." Gray said, clearly smiling.

Juvia slapped one of his hands playfully. "Do not call my baby a demon."

"He's half you and half me, let's say I'm calling my half a demon." He told his wife who couldn't help but to smile and she felt his lips curl up.

"He's all of ours and you call my baby that again, we will have problems, mister." Juvia turned around to face her husband.

"Alright, alright." He chuckled, knowing the only person she was more protective over other than Gray, was their son, Gris. "Happy Mother's Day, by the way."

"Thank you." She told him. "What do you think Gris is doing for me today?"

"Oh, we have a whole day planned." Gray chuckled "Apparently you need to have pancakes with as much chocolate syrup you can possible pour on."

"Naturally." Juvia chuckled.

"Then we are going to the park, so you can have some time on the playground." He told her.

"Oh, me, huh?"

"Gris' words." Gray shrugged. "We will have lunch at Franks and have a couple of Caramade's Franks and after that we come home and you two will take a nap – I assume it's just the two of you, since I am still to be invited. Dinner's on me, though and apparently it should be pancakes again, but I talked him out of it."

"So… basically the day will be filled with as much sugar he can get us to allow him to have, play time and naps."

"Pretty much, yeah." Gray agreed.

Juvia chuckled. "Could've been worse."

"Absolutely. He's still not used to the idea of turning into a big brother in a couple of months." Gray put his hand on Juvia's large stomach, where their daughter was apparently still asleep. "I thought it would be better if I let him run this so he doesn't feel left out."

Juvia smiled at her husband and kissed his lips. "You are a very nice dad."

"I try." Gray shrugged. He was about to say something else when the sound of quick footsteps coming their way. "Aaaaaand here comes the little monster."

Juvia elbowed him on the stomach just as the door opened and their excited four-year-old son, Gris busted in, a toothy smile on his lips. "Mama! Happy Mama's Day!"

"Awww, thank you, my darling." She opened her arms and the little boy lost no time in climbing the bed next to his mother's and into her embrace. Juvia kissed the top of her son's dark blue hair.

"We are going to have the bestest day ever today!" Gris was so excited, his blue eyes were shining. "Daddy and I will make you pancakes with loooooots and looooots of syrup."

"Sounds yummy." Juvia kissed the boy's cheek.

"How can I help you when I don't even get a good morning?" Gray said to get their son's attention.

"Sorry, Daddy!" Gris tried to jump over Juvia, but Gray was ready and caught him so he couldn't step accidentally on Juvia's bump. "Good morning, Daddy!" Gris offered his father a toothy grin.

"Good morning, kid." Gray kissed the boy's cheek. "Just remember to be careful, okay? You almost stepped on Mama's stomach and hurt her and your sister."

The boy gasped – he wasn't too happy with the new addiction to the family but his heart was as big as Juvia's. "Oh, no!" He kneeled next to his mother and put a hand on Juvia's stomach and then leaned in, half his body over it. "Sorry, sister. I don't want to hurt you or mama."

Juvia's eyes, of course, were watering with the display but she cleared her throat. "It's alright, baby. You didn't hurt her or Mama, okay? How about those pancakes with lots of syrup now?"

"Yes!" Gris exclaimed happily. "Come on, Daddy! Mama, you stay here, I will help Daddy!"

The Water Mage glanced at her husband. "I'll deal with the dangerous stuff, don't worry."

"Good." Juvia kissed their son's cheek and then her husband's lips. "Juvia will be waiting for you guys here!"

"Come on, Daddy!" Gris got off the bed and all but ran out of the bedroom while Gray got up from the bed.

"See? Little demon."

Juvia threw a pillow at him. "Don't say that about my baby!"

Gray laughed when he dodged the pillow and went to help the little dictator they called son.
