"My what?!" Rogue demanded.
"Your son. Rouge, you're a daddy!" Sting laughed hysterically.
Rogue stared at Sting in disbelief. His mind was racing. "I'm a father? I have a kid."
Gajeel pushed them both against the wall harder and growled. "No. You are not a father, Rogue. You are just a sorry excuse for a man that raped a poor and defenseless girl. You may have created that life when you destroyed his mother but you are no where close to being his father. He has a father. Me. The only thing you will ever be to him is his uncle. Do you understand that?"
Before Rogue could reply, a blood curling scream came from Gajeel's dorm. Gajeel instantly dropped the boys and ran into the dorm and into his room. The deafening sound was coming from the small toddler asleep on his bed. Natsu and Gray were standing in front of the couch both staring at the room with matching looks of terror on their faces.
Gajeel pulled Keitaro onto his lap and rocked him while rubbing his back soothingly. Eventually the screams turned into whimpers then finally ceased all together. Now Gajeel understood why Levy didn't want to take Keitaro for the night. Those screams made him feel like his heart was ripped in two. 'What in the hell scares the kid so badly?' Gajeel wondered as he continued rocking him.

Sting and Rogue left after Keitaro started screaming. Rogue was fuming. How dare Gajeel believe he was a better man than him. Gajeel didn't take care of him when he needed him. He was out partying and drinking rather than be there for his little brother.
Sting knew Rogue was pissed and he grinned. "It seems that big brother Gajeel thinks he will be a better father to your child than you could be. I wonder if your son knows that Gajeel is really his uncle and you are his father. I guess we will have to talk to the little fairy, Levy."
Rogue shook his head as they stomped off. Gajeel always thought he was better than him. He would not speak to the boys mother but he did plan to find out who she was and find out more about his son.

Levy finally laid her head on her pillow at one in the morning. She was exhausted and she knew her alarm would be going off pretty early. As she dozed off, she wondered how Gajeel and Keitaro were.
The stars shined so brightly as she walked home. Her arms full of the new books she just checked out. As she neared the oldest house in the town she slowed to a stop to admire it's ancient beauty. She smiled as she thought about how she would enjoy buying the place and fixing it up for her and Keitaro.
As she began walking again, she heard a cry come from inside the house. Her stomach heaved as she realized the cry sounded like Keitaro. Dropping the books, she took off running in the house.
Once she entered she was instantly grabbed and slammed into the wall. The air was sucked from her body. The darkness stopped her from being able see her attacker. Fear filled her mind as she tried to escape.Her attacker moved his hand off her throat and placed it over her mouth and nose and squeezed her face. He dragged her towards the window as he laughed. Her eyes widened as the star light glinted off the many piercings on his face. His eyes seemed to glow a darker red as he threw her on the floor and he climbed on top of her.She bolted up in bed and screamed. Sweat poured down her face as she panted and tried to calm her beating heart. She got out of bed quickly and put on her shoes as she left her dorm and basically ran down the hall.
She banged on Gajeel's door repeatedly as she panted. She just needed to get her baby away from Gajeel. After several minutes of no answer, she bangs on the door again. As she went to started to bang again, the door opened to reveal Gajeel.
Gajeel stood in front of her wearing nothing but a pair of black silk boxers. His hair was completely messy. Her heart started pounding harder as she glanced at his hard muscled chest. A blush covered her cheek as she realized she was standing in front of him in nothing but a tank top that barely covered her behind.
"Shrimp? What's wrong?"
Gajeel's question brought her back to the presence. "I'm here for Keitaro. I need to get him now."
"He's asleep. He's okay, Levy."
"No. I want him now!" Levy pushed past him and ran to the room with the opened door. Keitaro was laying on the bed in the middle of the room. his bag of stuff on the floor. She softly picked up Keitaro and grabbed his bag and walked out the room.
Gajeel stood there looking confused. "What's going on, Levy? What happened?"
"I.. I would like you to leave us alone, please. We..we don't need you in our lives."
