Concern over your own life and the inevitable demise of it is something Laxus is rather familiar with. Now faced with the creation of another, he has much more to consider than just his own feelings and goals.

Becoming a father's a wondrous thing...unless it's two years after the kid's birth and the mother is some woman that you hooked up with only a couple of times. Then when you add in the fact that she's taken off and left you with the kid, well, it's not so wondrous any longer. What's Laxus supposed to do with a baby anyhow? And why is Mira so insistent on him keeping it? Huh?
