Gajeel was making his way home where Lucy and Metalicana were awaiting him. While he was walking he could smell strawberries which meant he was close. With him being a wolf his five senses were a bit more advance.

He was only a couple of miles from his house and he could smell Lucy. For some odd reason, he always wondered how she smelled like strawberries when she was in the woods.

As he was getting closer to his house he could smell smoke. He wondered why it was smelling like smoke in the woods then the realization came into play: fire!

Gajeel started to run home because all types of stuff were going through his mind. Were Lucy and Metalicana okay, did Rogue have anything to do with it, or who started the fire?

Most importantly he couldn't afford to get himself into a fire like the last time. He was lucky he barely survived out of the house when Lucy set it on fire.

When he finally made it to his house he could see Lucy put small sticks into a small fire while Metalicana was sat down on the ground in his own little world. Lucy walked over to him and started making silly faces that he laughed at.

Metalicana noticed Gajeel and started excitedly clapping his hands. Lucy looked at the direction Gajeel was in and smiled in relief. "You're finally here I was about to start dinner," she said walking towards him.

Gajeel stood there taken back as he didn't see any serious fire. "Did you get everything on the list?" Lucy asked standing in front of him. After a couple of seconds, Gajeel snapped out of his imagination. "Um yeah!" he said giving Lucy the bag as she checked inside of it.

"Thank God, I was craving chicken today," she drooled. She walked back over to where the fire was at and sat down on a log.

She began removing everything from the bag and placing it in its proper place. She gave Metalicana his chew toy when she heard him start to cry. From where Gajeel stood, it was clear that Lucy knew precisely what she was doing. At the same time, she was preparing to cook and caring for Metalicana.

Gajeel had no choice but to strike up a conversation with Lucy. Metalicana appeared to be too preoccupied with his chew toy to engage in any playful behavior. Gajeel sat next to Lucy as she applied some strange powder on the chicken breast.

As he watched her, he questioned, "So Bunny Girl, what are you putting on the raw meat?" She added, "I'm putting seasoning on the chicken because it's intended to give it taste." "Isn't the flavor meant to be blood?" he inquired, perplexed.

"Blood on meat is supposed to be rinsed out and clean. Some meat may have a small amount of blood in it, but not all " she clarified. When Lucy was finished preparing the chicken, she placed it on a stick and placed it over the fire to cook.

Looking over to Gajeel, she asked, "Would you mind seasoning the vegetables so I could place them over the fire?" Out of uncertainty, he tilted his eye up at her. He merely stated, "Uh, Bunny Girl, I'm not sure how to do that."

"Oh, all you have to do now is sprinkle the powder over these vegetables and stick them on a stick," she calmly instructed Gajeel. "All right," he said, taking the powders and sprinkling them on the vegetables slowly. "All right, now place them on the stick," she said as she observed him.

Gajeel carefully placed the vegetables on the stick fearing he would mess up. "Okay good, good, now put them over the over the fire and slowly spin them around so they can cook," she instructed as he hesitantly held them over the fire.

Fearful of making a mistake, Gajeel's hands began to shake. Lucy became aware of this and reached out to soothe him down. "It's all right," she murmured, caressing his arms and shoulders.

"You're doing a great job," she complimented Gajeel as he relaxed. "I'm assuming this is your first time cooking?" Gajeel was silent for a few seconds before responding with a nod, so she inquired.

"It's fine, it's usually rough on the first try," she grinned, making his heart skip a beat. He murmured, "Yeah sure!" It was finally done after a couple of minutes of Gajeel and Lucy sitting in silence heating the meals. She had to swiftly remove it from the stick to avoid burning her fingers.

Gajeel stood there watching her arrange them on a round item. He glanced at the object strangely after she handed it to him. He'd never seen cooked food before, and it looked delicious. He caught a breath of the food's aroma, which he found to be quite pleasant. Just looking at it made him feel like he was about to drool.

"Come here, Metalicana," Lucy exclaimed, as Metalicana grinned and gazed at Lucy. Metalicana went down on his hands and knees and began crawling. "Come to mommy and daddy!" she encouraged him.

Metalicana began crawling towards Lucy and Gajeel as Lucy encouraged him. Gajeel could only stare in awe as his son crawled for the first time. "Way to go!" Lucy congratulated him after picking him up.

With the plate on the side, she had him sat in her lap. Gajeel took a piece of his chicken and moaned about how good it tasted. Lucy couldn't stop herself from smiling at him. This was the first time she seen Gajeel enjoy himself without the both of them having sex.

She tore a little piece of meat and chewed it up before giving it to Metalicana. Gajeel became disgusted when he realized this. "Why are you eating the meat and putting it in Metalicana mouths, Bunny Girl?" Gajeel asked. "Because he can't chew large foods. I have to chew it up till it's soft and easy to swallow for him " she explained.

"When I was a kid, my parents didn't have to chew up the food; they just handed it to me bloody and uncooked," Gajeel protested. "I'm sorry, but I'm not your mother or father. Metalicana's digestive system isn't going to be screwed up because of meat that wasn't broken down enough for him, " Lucy retorted with a change of tone.

"Fine whatever!" Gajeel angrily mumbled under his breath. "Speaking of parents whatever happened to yours?" she asked him hoping he would answer. "Whatever happened to yours?" Gajeel rhetorically asked laughing at the thought of it. This angered Lucy because she had a feeling Gajeel killed her parents. Or so she thought!

"I'm being serious Gajeel what happened to your parents? You never mention them," Lucy asked being serious with Gajeel. He looked at her to see if she was being serious. He rarely even thinks about his parents. Or matter of fact; talks about them.

He spent years alone in the woods, so he never had someone to talk to. He was continually attempting to kill someone, or they were attempting to kill him. He sighed, "I'm not going to lie, both of my parents were assholes." "How so?" Lucy asked curious at the thought. "I don't know it's kinda hard to explain. They were worse than me and you," he said trying to think about it.

"My mom and dad were constantly at each other's throats and that resulted in my dad beating my mom the majority of the time," he said making Lucy scared.

"Why were they always at each other's throats?" she asked him. "They were complete opposites and they disagreed on everything. My dad would always say insensitive stuff to my mom making her upset. I personally never wanted to be around her since she was so negative," he sadly said.

"What would she do or say?" Lucy hesitantly asked. "Every time it was just me and her she would take all her anger out on me and blame me for making her life miserable. She said I was my father's duplicate and she hated the thought of it. She even told me she wished I died as an infant so she wouldn't have to put up with me or my father," he explained.

"Where is your mother now?" Lucy asked. "She died," he answered. "From sickness?" Lucy guessed, "No my father killed her," he corrected. "I'm so sorry, that must have been hard on you," Lucy said looking down in guilt.

"No, that was the happiest day of my life, she and Satan needed to meet each other," he said with a happy attitude. That was the first she ever heard of a mother and son not loving each other. She would hope she and Metalicana wouldn't have that type of relationship.

"Okay what was your relationship like with your father?" she asked. Just by what Gajeel told her so far his father seemed very disrespectful. On top of that the way, Gajeel would act towards her and sometimes treat her like trash. He's doing better, but once in a while, he'll do something insensitive.

"I looked up to my father because he was the only one who accepted me," he said in deep thought. "He died because some kid killed him a couple of years ago," he said with his tone changing.

"I'm sorry for your lost," Lucy said out of sympathy. This explains why Gajeel never respected women because his mother never loved him. And growing up he looked up to his father that he reflected off of.

Gajeel couldn't help but lean in for a kiss as he looked Lucy in the eyes. Lucy sensed this and leaned in for a kiss with Gajeel. Lucy groaned beneath her breath as their lips came together.

Gajeel placed his hand on Lucy's back, attempting not to let go of her just yet. Lucy then gently placed her small palm on Gajeel's cheek. This lasted for a couple of minutes until they both parted.

They were catching their small breaths so they could continue regularly breathing. "So Bunny since I've told you about my parents why don't you tell me about yours?" he questioned. Lucy looked down at the ground a bit sad because that was a hard topic to talk about.

She had no memory of her parents, for the most part. Her mother and father used to hold her in pictures, but they're all gone now because they were in the house that is burned down. All she knew was that her mother's name was Layla and that her father's name was Jude. They were both merchants who had a thriving business till they died.

It was purchased by a group of Capital merchants. If you must know, the Capital is primarily populated by the wealthy. Because this is a village in the middle of nowhere, we live on the poor side. Lucy's grandmother had decided that when she turned 18 years old, she would receive the money that my parents had hoped I would receive so that I could live comfortably and do great things in life.

The first thing Lucy planned to do was try to gain some attention for my first book. But, unfortunately, that is unlikely to happen! Her plans are currently shattered, but she'll find a way to get through them.

"When I was born, my parents died after only a few months, so I was raised by my grandma. She was a lovely and knowledgeable lady. The sad part about her was that she refused to leave the house. She used to walk me to the village when I was younger, but as I grew older, she only came once in a while. Then she simply asked me to make her deliveries " she told him.

"Did it irritate you that she never came outside?" he questioned. "No, not really," Lucy explained, "I could comprehend that she was becoming older and couldn't move as well as she used to."

Lucy looked down at Metalicana and gave him a vegetable that he could easily chew on. It was quiet between both Lucy and Gajeel until Lucy asked, "Are there others like?"

"Other what?" Gajeel asked cocking his eyebrow. "Other wolves like you?" she requestioned. "There used to be until most of us had died out. The last wolf I'd seen was my dad's brother. They both didn't have the best relationship and he didn't agree on terrorizing humans so he had left and I haven't seen him since but I know he's dead," Gajeel clarified.

"Um okay, is this why you're always constantly having sex with me?" Lucy asked since it somehow connected to her. By answering her question he didn't say anything. Lucy knew when Gajeel was silent on certain questions he was too embarrassed to answer them.

"You're having sex with me so you can repopulate aren't you?" Lucy sadly asked him. Gajeel still didn't say anything, yet answering Lucy's question once again. He reached over to the bag that still had one item that passed over Lucy's eyes.

She was taken back when he showed her a pregnancy test. "I need you to take this," he said holding out the box with his head down. "Gajeel I doubt I'm pregnant!" Lucy said slightly shaking her head. She started to awkwardly laugh to herself while panicking inside.

"Bunny Girl, don't try to be a dumbass right now, I'm not in the mood and you know good and well we had a lot of unprotected sex," Gajeel said with an exhausted tone. "But you pulled out most of the time Gajeel," Lucy said still trying to deny it.

"Take the fucking goddamn test," Gajeel sternly said making Lucy stop laughing. She looked at the box and took it from him. She walked away towards the area where she would use the bathroom so she could check to see if she was pregnant. Deep down Lucy was hoping she wasn't going to have a baby.

She couldn't go through another pregnancy without medical assistance. For the past nine months, she was worried that something was wrong with Metalicana while he was in the womb. She didn't know if the baby was healthy, had some type of sickness, etc.

When she arrived at the spot she pulled up her dress so she could urinate on the stick. While she was in the process of doing that, Gajeel was still in the same spot. He was eating his food quickly out of stress.

He didn't mind having kids with Lucy, but the thought of having another kid was something. He didn't feel this way when she was pregnant with Metalicana. He was more excited that he got her pregnant which was his number one goal.

He shouldn't be surprised if it ends up being positive. They never used condoms even though she asked him to. The best he did was pull out before he did cum in her. A couple of times he had failed that attempt. But all in favor it could go either way for him. He just looked at Metalicana who was stealing Lucy's vegetables and eating them.

He looked back at his plate to see nothing but vegetables on the side. He was already finished with the meat which is the only thing he eats. He's a carnivore and the only thing he eats is meat. It's very common for him since he is a wolf.

Gajeel took all of the vegetables off of his plate and put them on Lucy's for Metalicana to eat. Metalicana just looked at him and smiled and Gajeel smirked. 'Maybe having another baby won't be so bad!' Gajeel thought.

Lucy, on the other hand, had waited a few minutes for the results to appear, and she couldn't believe what she was seeing. In the white space, two lines were indicating that she was indeed pregnant. 'This can't be happening!' she exclaimed as she mentally scolded herself. She was not only pregnant, but she also had unprotected sex.

She carefully made her way back to Gajeel and Metalicana, where she saw Gajeel interacting with Metalicana, who was giggling. She couldn't help but smile as she observed their father and son bonding. Gajeel's antics with Metalicana were amusing to Lucy. He wasn't a bad father at the time, but she had the impression he would be when Metalicana grew older.

She approached Gajeel from behind and hesitantly touched him on the shoulder. Gajeel looked at her, taking his gaze away from Metalicana. "Oh, finally you're back, so what are the results?" he inquired, her bottom lip biting down.

"Um, they're positive," she murmured as Gajeel stood up from his seat. As Lucy began to cry, he inquired, "Are you serious?"

As more tears streamed down Lucy's cheek, she nodded. "That's amazing, we're going to have another kid," Gajeel exclaimed as he held Lucy and spun her around at the end. He became alarmed when he saw her face. He softly asked, wiping the tears away from her face, "Hey, why are you crying?" She somewhat lied when she said, "Nothing...they're just tears of joy."

Gajeel hugged her again, and she returned the hug. She was going to endure the consequences now that she had given it some thought. She has never worn protection since she began having sex. Gajeel never used protection with her, despite the fact that she had sex with him several times.

Then again when she and Rogue first had sex he never wore any protection and he released his semen inside of her when they both climaxed. This was the climax of the love triangle. She couldn't be that far along and she had sex with both Gajeel and Rogue around that time. So the real question was who was the father?
