Take Me Baby, Or Leave ME
****Fourteen Years after Celestial Mage Wanted*****
Bets had been placed. The die had been cast. Yet the guild still waited for what they knew was going to happen. It wasn't a surprise; she had claimed him as her mate years ago at just fifteen. When most of the others still saw her as the little stumbling girl she was when she was brought into the family. Now she had matured and held positions that were created for her. Pioneering a field that none thought would exist. Yet they all waited for the inevitable as the pots grew and grew.
"Damn I thought for sure it would be this year," Gajeel grunted as he sat in the guild hall.
It was New Year's Eve and another year had passed without Wendy fully claiming her mate.
"What ya expect bolt breath she's takin her damn sweet time," Natsu grunted as he readjusted the bundle in his arms little Anna sighing peacefully as she felt her father's warmth.
"Is it cause she's female cause I gotta say after my loss last week Juvia said no more betting," Grey growled into his mug as he felt two tugs on his pants, his shirt having disappeared earlier that night.
"Papa can Ur and Ulter go play in the snow?" two little voiced asked in unison as Grey turned to see his youngest pouting.
"What have I told you two about pouting like that?" the ice make mage asked as he looked down at his girls.
"That it's not fair since you can never say no to mother when she does, and we're twice as cute," the girls said slyly in unison again as little smirks formed on their lip before the pout returned.
It was true as Ur and Ulter grew up they looked so much like Juvia, barley any difference from their mother. If it wasn't for the names, which Juvia had insisted on, one would swear that the water mage had simply cloned herself twice.
"Gihih, I also heard that you were given an allowance after yer ten thousand jewel loss," the Iron dragon grunted as he heard his sons begin to warm up.
The Redfox boys had either been musically or magically incline so with their father's help they formed a band that played for the guild often. Ren on lead vocals and guitar, Axel on base, Conner on well anything else they need (Being a pied piper mage had its advantages), and Wyatt on drums since as a percussion mage he was never off beat.
"Shut up," Grey hissed as he turned his attention back to his daughters. "Just bundle up or your mother will kill me,"
"But you never make Storm bundle up," the girls pouted.
"Storms an ice mage," Grey pointed out as the girls huffed.
"Never mind we know something much more fun to play," the girls giggled as they ran off towards the other kids in the guild.
"Having trouble there ice princess?" Natsu chuckled.
"No more than you at least I can keep my kids in line," Grey hissed as he pointed towards Ryu who was currently sitting in the middle of the guilds lit fireplace.
"So what he's a dragon, not like its goanna hurt him," the fire dragon slayer shrugged as he felt Anna drool on his shirt a sure sign she was finally asleep.
"No it'll just rile him up and he'll destroy the guild," Gajeel said.
"Not like Myka won't join in on the fun," Natsu said with a smile as Gajeel growled.
In spite of the age difference Ryu and Myka were the best of friends, causing mayhem and destruction where ever they went. Lucy and Levy would joke that maybe they were mates but Chance had squashed their hopes. "They're just kindred spirits," he said with a smile one day when the woman asked if that had been a bet. After all not even Canna could out predict her son, if Chance saw it in his cards then there was no way to avoid it.
"I told you I was done with jobs for the next six months, so why are you still waiting!" Romeo's voice shouted over the din as the guild quieted.
"I told you I don't want to tie you down. You love talking long jobs," Wendy replied.
The couple had disappeared pretty early in the night. Hiding away in to one of the cupboards that was solely there for rondeaus between lovers. And no matter what Laxus had tried to do to stop it many a child had bee conceived in the walls of the guild, the two youngest Dragneels being examples.
"Bull shit, were almost thirty Wendy," Romeo shouted.
"Bad move," Gajeel hissed as he saw Levy place as silence barrier around the younger children who had been corralled to one corner of the guild.
"What am I too old for you now?!" Wendy screeched causing every slayer and child with sensitive hearing to flinch in pain.
"NO damn it but Mavis Wendy I want to complete the process and you keep holding back. You wanted a house we did that, you wanted more land we did that too. Training, jobs, adding to the hoard, your work. We've had ample excuses in the past to push it back since neither of us could afford to take the time off needed, but there are no excuses now. We've been living together for the last eight years, no one is pregnant right now, let's just do it!" Romeo growled out, unaware and uncaring that they had garnered the guild's silent and undivided attention.
"Very romantic!" the sky dragon scoffed her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"We've had almost ten years of romance when are we going to finish the process at this rate Layla and Storm will mate and have babies before us!" the fire mage roared as the guild chuckled at the blush that appeared on Storm's face as Layla continued to play with his hair from her spot behind him.
Leaning down she whispered something in Storm's ear that increased the blush so that his whole face, neck, and part of his chest go bright red. Two so resembled their parents, Storm looked so much like Grey but with Juvia's eyes while Layla was almost exactly like her mother, just less chest with her father's hair. Her silver retina and green iris sparkling with mischief.
"Romeo," Wendy sighed in annoyance.
"No Wendy enough is enough, either take me or let me go!" Romeo finally shouted as the guild hall was stunned silent.
"Opps," Igneel grunted as he returned back to his drink.
"Shouldn't have said that," Reese laughed lightly sitting right next to Igneel.
The two teens laughing to themselves. Igneel the spitting image of his father but with blonde hair and brown eyes. While like when he was an infant Reese looked more like a Strauss than anything with his white hair and blue eyes.
"Daddy call Laki, the guild is about to need to be rebuilt," Lexie whisper her father who was one table over.
"Why," the guild master asked as he looked over at his nearly grown daughter.
Long blond hair that reached to her mid back, she was tall like him but slender and trim. At nineteen she was just about finished growing. Curves for days; which were usually scantily covered in tight shirts and pants if she wasn't wearing a barely there skirt, thanks to Lucy's influence on her wardrobe. But one of his large coats usually hung off her shoulders. As she had grown into a more and more beautiful woman Laxus had been thankful she had been more interested in Guild affairs than boys and dating. But Brux's warning still rung in his head every time the though crossed his mind.
"You bastard," Wendy's shout brought the guild master back to the present when Romeo flew through the guild slamming into the side wall as Wendy appeared in the whole she had created, hair pink and white scales covering half of her body. Which was not as overly developed as most of the women, her curves were slight and she had long ago given up on having the bodies that Lucy and most of the other girls had.
"That's why," Lexie grunted as she moved so she wasn't in the way of the sky dragon slayer.
"You want me to take you, fine!" Wendy roared as she leapt from the hole and flew across the guild.
"Mavis," Romeo cursed as he tried to stand up from the attack but his head was still spinning.
Wendy grabbed the collar of his shirt slamming him into the wall as she hissed in his face.
"Buckle up idiot it's about to be a bumpy ride," the sky dragon spoke as she and her mate were enveloped by gold dust filled wind and disappeared from sight.
"Hey uncle Gajeel," Chance asked as the teen got up from his own stack of mugs next to his mother.
He was much more on the trim side than his father or his pappy. But just as suspected he grew up to look almost exactly like his grandfather, though he kept his hair much more styled than either man.
"Yeah?" the dragon slayer grunted as he looked at the male card mage.
"Guess who won the pot," Chance grinned as he tossed Gajeel a wad of jewel which landed not far from is mug.
"Gihihi," the iron dragon laughed. "Keep it," he said as he tossed the wad back. "I bet the rug rat won't be able to walk when pipsqueak is done with im,"
At that the guild busted into laughter as both card mages were swarmed with renewed bets as Fairy Tale rung in not only the new year but that their last slayer was finally claiming her mate.
