Chapter 3: Telling Wendy and the main event

Erza felt her heart beating fast as Wendy sat down on the sofa, Carla beside her. She felt excited yet nervous as she forgot what to say and how to start this conversation.

"Ummm, Erza? What's the problem?" Wendy timidly asked, Erza took a deep breath before sitting beside her, taking her hands and entertwining it with hers.

This'll be so sudden and anti-climactic but... Erza sighed mentally. "Wendy," she started, "Jellal and I are having a baby."

"EHHHHH?!" Wendy screamed, while Carla was not surprised. "I knew it." Carla said, "KNEW WHAT?!" Wendy shrieked.

"That Erza is pregnant! She obviously has the signs of pregnancy!" Wendy froze when she didn't see the signs nor bothered to ask what was wrong.

"Th-That's correct... I was trying to hide it... But it kind of looks like that I'm not good at hiding things." Erza laughed awkwardly.

Wendy finally calmed down and froze, "Did you tell Jellal yet?" Erza stopped laughing and teasingly placed a finger in front of her lips, "I haven't told him yet so it's a secret~" Erza and Wendy laughed, Carla broke the laughter with a question, "Then when do you think Jellal will come back?"

Erza looked at the calendar, then back to the two guests with an uncertain response, "Maybe this evening?" Erza's tone was unsure with it, making Carla facepalm.

"Looks like you aren't sure of it, we will accompany you for the time being." Carla explained, making Erza giggle. "Are you shy, Carla? You know you could just ask Erza if we can accompany her for the time being!" Wendy pointed out, making Carla look away so she could blush.

"Alright then. It's fine if you guys stay until Jellal comes home! You guys can help me prepare!" Erza said as Wendy smiled at her, "Hooray! We can help out if you'd like!" Erza smiled back and stood up and walked towards the kitchen, Wendy following her.

"Alright! Let's start then!"

Jellal sighed and dropped on the bed, his patience hastily dropping, wanting to come home like a child with a tantrum.

"You know getting angry won't help you Jellal. We just finished the job, now we're just gonna waiting for the train that'll come after lunch." Erik groaned and sat down, the rest munching down on the lunch they bought a few minutes ago.

"Hrbrghrbhrbrhrb." Jellal grumbled through the sheets, Erik sighed, "You know, you're very hopeless. Why are you worrying about Erza too much? So what if she's sick or injured, she can handle herself until we get back!" Erik half-shouted as Jellal raised his head up to glare at the dragon slayer.

"Don't give me those eyes, Jellal." Erik looked away from the food and glared back at the blue haired husband, making him grumble again and plop his head back down.

"Jeez, Jellal. You look and sound like a kicked puppy." Meredy stopped and mumbled under her breath before eating again. "If you don't eat, we ain't stopping for food later." Meredy grumbled, tired of Jellal's mood swings.

"I'm not hungry anyway." He sulked, Sawyer sighed, "Suit yourself then." He said before everybody ate more than before they asked Jellal.

"I'm hungry..." Jellal grumbled on his seat, the rest sighed at his stupidity as the train moved, still far from Magnolia.

"I told you to eat lunch while we were there." Erik groaned, crossing his arms, "But you didn't listen, did you?" He gave a chuckle, making Jellal glare at him.

"Oh shut up." Jellal threw a throw pillow, which Erik caught with ease. "You better be unpredictable if you want to hit me with a pillow-" another pillow slammed against Erik's face, cutting him off with his lecture.

Jellal snickered, "Eat that-" Jellal was about to say a bad word only to get slapped on the back of his head by Meredy, "You two are such troublemakers in this trip alone." Meredy scolded as Erik laughed, only to be slapped too.

"Stop fighting you two."

"Y-Yes Ma'am..." They both said timidly

"Look, we'll let Jellal rest and we're not gonna do any teasing by 3 pm, okay?" Meredy said as Jellal and Erik nod, "Yeah, yeah..."

Jellal finally got to their home.

"SWEET MAVIS FINALLY! MY HOME~!" Jellal opened the door and shouted in a sing-song kind of tone, only to see Erza laughing at her side of the couch waiting for him. "A-Ah!" Jellal stopped halfway from throwing himself onto the couch and composed himself, "Good Afternoon, dear." He said, leaning to give her a kiss on the forehead before plopping down beside her.

"Hi dear, I-I have something for you..." Erza muttered out, giving him a bag with decorations on top, Jellal gave a smile before taking it.

Jellal didn't think twice before he opened the bag, then he saw three things inside of it. Those three were wrapped and labeled with the stickers "1" "2" and "3".

"Hm?" He hummed before taking those three things out. Erza gave a small smile before taking the bag out of his hands, leaving him with the decorated ones, "Open it."

Ummm... Jellal thought before ripping the first gift, showing him a light blue onesie that would definitely not fit him.

Erza stared at Jellal, hoping for an expression.

WHATISTHISWHATISTHISWHATISTHIS?! Jellal's mind couldn't comprehend why he was given a onesie, he looked at the next gift. He placed the onesie to the side and opened up the next gift, revealing a small pacifier.

Jellal's mind started to connect the dots. Pacifier... Onesie... What's next?! Is it what I think it is?! His thoughts raced like wildfire, his hands trembling to open the third one.

He took a deep breath and ripped the next one open. He felt his world stop.

7 pregnancy tests.

Seven.

He also noticed a picture of an ultrasound with a note that says, "Congrats! You're 9 weeks pregnant!"

"HA?!?!" Jellal shouted, feeling tears flooding down his face. He looked up to see Erza looking at him, crying as well.

He sniffled and placed the things aside and took Erza's hands.

"Is... Is this real?" Erza nodded shyly, sniffling a little before Jellal wrapped Erza into a warm hug. "S-Sweet Mavis... W-We're gonna be parents!" Erza choked back a sob as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Y-You're not angry?"

Jellal shook his head and buried his head onto her neck, "A-Angry? Dear, you know I won't get angry at you." Jellal gave a small laugh, "This is a big change in our life, a new chapter." Erza closed her eyes in relief.

"For now, can we just have a week to ourselves before we tell the others?" Jellal broke the hug and stroked her cheek, wiping away her tears. Before he gave his response, he kissed her forehead and placed his vacant hand on her stomach.

"Of course, dear. Whatever you say." Erza smiled at this, her arms still wrapped around his neck as Jellal kissed her repeatingly, his lips trailing down to her neck.

"I love you, Jellal."

"I love you too, Erza."
