Chapter 7

**Warning!**

Some GaLe smut towards the beginning so if you don't want to read it, just skip over it. (It ends just before the third line break.) it's nothing too crazy but I know some people don't like to read over it still.

BambooGreen: lol I'm glad you love the story so far. I actually was going to have Gajeel and Levy have twins after Leviana, but decided it may be too many kids at the moment in the story lol. I tried to keep the amount of kids to a minimum just so that way too I didn't have to ponder over thousands of names and write even more kids! Haha I know she's really oblivious and so much like her father in so many ways, maybe one day she'll figure herself out. :P and don't worry, I will have a father/daughter moment between them. I just won't tell you when teehee!

Nyma: lol yeah she's pretty oblivious. I like Gray myself, and that's totally awesome about the keychain! I've thought about getting a Lucy one…. Kinda wish they had a Loke one, personably, but then I'm like aw man… I want everyone! Lol and yeah… I know it gets hard to write the story sometimes caz I feel so bad for their family. But its what makes the story so good. To be honest, I thought about doing one more story after this with just the kids, but I don't think I'm going to lol. My awesome friend Msktk said she might write a one shot after all of this is over between two of the kids. And thanks! ^_^ I'm having fun writing the chapters and I'm glad you guys are enjoying them as well!

"Here, take a seat on the couch, and I'll go get Finn out of his room." Gray said with a smile as he helped Juvia onto the softened seat. Juvia smiled brightly and graciously at Gray.

"Do you think he'll be upset about all of this? I mean… this is going to be a big deal for all of us Gray."

Gray grinned down at Juvia, raising a brow as he spoke. "I honestly don't know how he's gonna take it. Could be good, could be bad. I'll be right back." Gray leaned in and kissed Juvia's' forehead lightly. "You're so beautiful." He whispered as he ran a hand over her blue hair as he stood back up straight.

The water mage smiled as she received the complement from her husband. She never grew tired of his caring and loving words to her. Juvia watched as the ice mage headed up the stairs to grab their son. She looked down at her swollen stomach, running a hand over it lightly as she smiled. Gray came back into sight with their three year old son as they walked hand in hand down the stairs towards Juvia. Gray lifted Finn up and set him down on the couch next to Juvia, taking a seat on the nearby wooden coffee table in front of the couch. Gray brought his hands together, resting them in between his legs as he watched his son look at Juvia down to her stomach.

"Mommy? Why is your belly getting bigger? Did you eat too much food today?" The small boy asked.

Juvia laughed lightly as she ran her hand over Finn's blue hair. "No Finn, this isn't from mommy eating too much food. Your dad and I wanted to talk to you about something."

Finn pulled his legs in further onto the couch, sitting with his legs crossed as he faced his mother. "Is Lily coming back over this weekend? I don't want to play tea party anymore."

Gray chuckled as the memory of himself having to sit through the tea parties flooded his mind. He was glad his son felt the same way towards the girls' playtime. Juvia once again laughed at her small son. "No, Finn… mommy and daddy wanted to tell you that well…" Juvia's solid blue eyes looked up to Gray who matched her gaze with a smile. The water mage looked back to her son and leaned in closer to him. "How would you like to have a little sister?"

Finn stared into his mother's blue eyes for a long minute, not saying a word. It looked like Finn was trying to process through this mind what all of this meant, what his parents were trying to tell him at that moment. Gray leaned over and nudged Finn lightly with his hand. "So kiddo? What do you think?"

Finn looked up at Gray, a second later speaking. "I'm gonna have a sister?"

"Yes. Are you upset?" Juvia asked. Finn looked back at his mother, shocking her with the smile over his cute face. The small boy shook his head before he spoke once more.

"Where is she now? Is she playing hide and seek with me?" Finn asked as he stood up on the couch. Juvia and Gray let out a laugh together as they watched Finn scanning the room. "She isn't going to be like Lily is she? Lily likes to drag me around everywhere when we play hide and seek."

"Well… since you're going to be the older brother, you won't have that problem I'm sure kiddo." Gray said as he watched Finn sit back down on the couch.

"So then when do I get to meet her?"

Juvia rubbed her swollen stomach and smiled. "Do you want to meet her right now?"

Finn's face lit up as he looked at his mother in excitement. "Yeah! I wanna show her all my toys too!"

"Well it's too soon for that Finn, but here, give me your hand." Juvia said as she held out her own soft palm. Finn did as he was told and quickly handed over his hand to his mother. She giggled as he placed the small palm over her belly, looking back at Finn to see his reaction.

"I don't get it mommy." Finn said as he looked from her stomach up to her face. Gray scooted off the table and kneeled down before Juvia, placing his own hand next to Finns.

"Your sister is in here, Finn."

"She is?" the small boy asked confusingly.

"Yeah, she's living inside mommy right now as she grows. That's what babies do."

"Well… when do I get to meet her?" Finn asked with a sad look over his face.

"You're meeting her right now. She can hear you, and since you have your hand on mommy's tummy, she knows you're here right now. Sometimes, if you're patient enough, your sister will touch back."

Finn looked at Gray with a surprised expression. "Really?!"

"That's right. So why don't you introduce yourself Finn?" Juvia said as she closed her eyes happily. Finn looked down at his hand that sat peacefully on his mother's stomach.

"What's her name?"

Juvia and Gray looked at each other, completely forgetting to think of the most important thing. "We haven't come up with one yet."

Gray looked up at Finn with a grin over his face. "Would you like to name her kiddo?"

Finn nodded at his father, turning his attention back at the swollen his hand laid upon. He stared hard into the stomach, making Gray and Juvia look at each other, laughing lightly at their sons' goofiness. After a few minutes Finn looked up to his parents. "Can we call her Rain?"

Gray raised a confused brow. "Why Rain?"

Finn smiled sweetly. "Caz Uncle Gajeel keeps calling mommy Rain woman. I like the rain and mommy. They both make me happy. And I can tell already that I'm going to like my sister."

Juvia's heart began to melt as she looked at her son. The water mage ran her hand over the blue hair that spiked out in every direction. "I think Rain is good name."

"Yeah. I like it too." Gray said as he stood up. "Now who wants some cake to celebrate?"

Both mother and son raised their hands at the same time, signaling to Gray they were both interested in the sweet dessert. Gray smiled as he left the room, leaving Finn to stare at his mother's stomach once more. The small child looked at his mother as he spoke. "So when is she gonna be here mommy?"

"In a couple more months."

"That sounds like a long time from now for me to see her." Finn said as he tilted his head to the side some.

"Trust me Finn, these next couple of months will fly by quickly. You know your Aunt Lucy is having a child too right?"

"Is that why she looks like you too? I thought she kept eating too much too." Finn replied.

Juvia let out a sweet laugh. "You're something else Finn. But that's a good thing. It's what makes you so special."

Finn smiled at his mother before looking back at the swollen belly. Finn inched closer to his mother and slowly lowered his face to the belly before him. He waved a hand at it lightly before drawing small patterns over the overly stretched shirt. "Hey Rain. It's me, your big brother Finn. I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to wait patiently like daddy said. I think you should come out now so I can see you, but I'm going to be a good boy and wait. And when you get here, I'm going to show you all my toys, don't worry, I'll share." Juvia watched as Finn continued to talk to her stomach and the growing life inside, smiling to herself.

Finn looked up at his mother questionably. "Mommy… why does Uncle Gajeel call you Rain woman all the time?"

Juvia laughed as she leaned down closer to her young son, kissing his forehead lightly. "That is a story for when you are older. Remind me one day and I will tell you all about it."

Gray tripped as he took the step up to the front door, slamming his body into the wood to catch himself. He turned his body slightly so he could reach into his pants pocket to get out his key to unlock the door. Gray looked down his right arm as he pulled his keys out from his pocket, staring at it for a long moment before turning his body once more and stepping back slightly to try to find the lock. He thrust his hand forward, missing the key hole and scratching the side of the lock multiple times before he finally was able to insert the key in place, unlocking the door and quickly stumbling inside. The ice mage staggered into the large house, slamming the door behind him, immediately turning around and placing a finger to his lips, shushing the loud door as it slammed shut in the middle of the night.

Gajeel's hand moved away from Levy's mouth, moving slowly down her neck to the middle of her chest, resting it there as he pushed her back lightly as she straddled his hips between her thighs. Levy let out a soft moan as Gajeel's hips moved up into hers, his other hand resting on her rear, guiding her body down into his. The dragon slayer grinned as he leaned up to his wife, whispering into her ear.

"Now I let my hand off of your mouth because you promised to be quiet…"

Levy smiled as she looked back into that devilish grin and crimson orbs. "You also told me you were going to silence me with your kisses… not your hand. Which makes you the one who isn't following the rules of our special night."

Gajeel's unique laugh escaped his throat at Levy's words. The large man leaned back into the bed, looking over the view that sat on top of his body. Gajeel's hands slid down to Levy's hips, gripping her soft, delicate skin as she began to move her body with his.

Levy smiled down at Gajeel, earning her a toothy grin from the large brute. The petite girl leaned over Gajeel's' large torso, settling her hands on his broad chest as she brushed her soft lips over his. She was driving him crazy as she nipped playfully at his bottom lip, sucking on it lightly before releasing it. A low growl escaped his throat as he pushed her body down onto his suddenly, receiving a delightful and somewhat loud moan from Levy. Gajeel took his chance and quickly took her open mouth with his to silence her. Levy's hands moved up to the side of Gajeel's head, gripping his thick, black mane tightly as he continued to move her small body with his, sending waves of pleasure throughout her petite form.

A sudden noise coming from downstairs startled both the dragon slayer and the script mage, causing both to stop their movements and look to the door.

"What was that?" Levy asked, the sound of fear in her voice. Gajeel on the other hand, chose to ignore it as he leaned back up to kiss Levy.

"Just ignore it Shrimp." He said as he pulled her head back down to meet his. Levy shook her head as she pushed herself up against him, once again looking to the door.

"Gajeel, what if it's someone breaking in?"

The iron dragon slayer sighed as he threw his head back down onto the pillow. "Or it could just be one of the kids. Just forget about it. Come on, let's just get back to what we were doin'. I know you were gettin' close." He said with a grin as he ran his hands to the front of Levy's body, gripping each breast with a large hand. Levy blushed slightly as Gajeel began to tease her once more, but she knew better than to ignore the sounds she heard from below. The script mage took hold of Gajeel's hands, holding them in place as she looked down at him.

"Please… will you just go check… for me?"

Gajeel glared at Levy for a long minute before letting out a sigh as he rolled his eyes. "Fine… but if it's nothing, I'm coming back up here and teasing you unmercifully for stopping this."

Levy leaned in and planted a light kiss on Gajeel's lips, smiling at him. "Thank you."

Gajeel let out a groan as he lifted her body off from his effortlessly. "Yeah, yeah…"

Juvia looked at Gray sternly, her hands balled up into tight fists at her sides as she watched Gray struggle to stay standing before her. "I can't believe you Gray."

The ice mage swayed slightly as he looked at Juvia. "What? What did I do this time?"

"You're completely wasted." She said angrily.

Gray held out his hands to his sides. "So I had a few drinks… what's it to ya?"

Juvia pointed at Gray as she raised her voice. "This was supposed to be a fun weekend! A FAMILY weekend! Not let's get into an argument in front of all our friends then go run into town and get smashed weekend! I can't believe you right now. How could you just leave us to go get wasted at some bar?! Why are you doing this? To me… to yourself, to everyone else?"

Gray pointed an unsteady finger towards his wife, lowering his brows as he spoke, his voice too rising. "Will you just shut up! Me goin' out to have a few drinks don't hurt nobody. This doesn't concern you so just… stay out of my life for once…."

Juvia could feel her magic boiling inside of her, wanting to be unleashed so badly onto the man struggling to stand before her. "THIS DOES CONCERN ME GRAY! I AM YOUR WIFE AND THE MOTHER OF YOUR CHILDREN! IF YOU EVER STOPPED TO TALK TO ME LIKE YOU USED TO, MAYBE I COULD ACTUALLY HELP YOU INSTEAD OF FEELING LIKE IM USELESS!"

Gray glared hard at Juvia, ignoring what she had just said. "No, I don't need to explain myself to you."

Juvia groaned as she brought her hands to the side of her head. "Why are you so stubborn Gray?! I just…" The water mage let her hands fall to her sides as she let out a sigh, her head looking away from her drunken husband. "I just don't know what to do anymore…." Solid blue eyes looked back up angrily at Gray whose attention was looking past Juvia. She watched him for a moment before turning around herself to see everyone, with the exception of Leviana, were standing behind her, concerned looks over their faces.

The rain woman looked over their faces slowly. Gajeel and Levy stood midway down the stairs, along with Lucy and Loke a few steps below them. Gaje, Lily, and Leo stood near the bottom of the stairs as Juvia's' own children stood only a few feet away from her. All had the looks of sadness and concern.

"I'm… I'm sorry. Everyone please… just go back to bed." She said as she lowered her head slightly. Hesitantly, the large group in front of her began to disperse back to their rooms, keeping their eyes on Gray and Juvia as they left the room. Lily took a step on the stairs, her hazel eyes catching a glimpse of Finn wrapping his arm around his younger sister as tears flowed from her eyes. She could hear him speaking to her as they walked back to her room on the first floor. Her heart sank for the two of them, thinking back to how her family was torn apart when she was younger. Although her parents were apart in a different situation, Lily could still understand what Finn and Rain could be feeling right now. The dark haired girl let out a soft sigh as she made her way back to the split room she shared with Finn.

Finn followed his sister into the small room she shared with Leviana who was sound asleep on the bed across from Rain. The siblings sat on the bed, both silent as they sat together. Finn looked at his sister as tears continued to stream down her cheeks. The blue haired boy beside her half smiled as he rubbed Rains' shoulder lightly.

"Everything will be ok Rain."

"You heard mom yelling at him like I did Finn… so how could you say that everything will be ok?"

Finn took hold of Rains' hand, gliding his thumb over the back of it lightly. "I think mom is just stressed that dad keeps in all of his emotions and won't talk to her about this stuff. Everyone has a point that sometimes breaks under pressure or stress. It's unavoidable."

Rain looked up into her brothers solid blue eyes with her own. "I'm scared, Finn…."

"What are you so afraid of?"

"That mom and dad are going to get a divorce and we'll have to split up our family and I won't ever get to see you again."

"Hey, hey…" Finn said softly as he cupped Rains' cheek, whipping away her tears with his thumb. "Don't think like that. I would never let that happen. I'll always be here for you Rain. No one, not even mom and dad, can keep us apart."

Rain sniffled softly as she looked at her brother's smile. "You promise?"

"I always have. And I always will."

The young girl wrapped her arms around her older brother tightly, embracing him as she wept. As the minutes went by, Finn held his sister in his arms until her tears seemed to stop. The young boy let his sister go as she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. He looked her over to make sure she wasn't going to start crying once more before he stood. Rain grabbed his wrist as she looked up at him. "Wait, Finn…"

"What is it?" He asked quietly.

"Will you stay with me… until I fall asleep?"

Finn smiled as he let out a soft breath. "Sure." He replied as he lifted up Rains' covers, holding them up so she could get back into bed. He waited until she was settled in before pulling the large blanket over her body, tucking her in lightly and sitting back down on the side of the bed, watching his sister as she held his hand lightly, waiting for sleep to take her.

Leo stood just outside the door, listening in to the talk Finn was having with his sister, smiling slightly to himself as he leaned up against the wall. 'She's lucky to have a big brother like you Finn….'

Lily sat on her bed, her hands at her sides as her legs kicked at the air slightly. She sat there silently going over what had happened an hour ago between Gray and Juvia, thinking about how Finn and Rain were taking it all, wishing there was something she could do to help. Her head flung up suddenly as she heard Finn enter his room finally. The older girl quickly stood up and walked quickly towards the thin sheet, peeking her head around the corner to see Finn laying on his bed with his hands over his eyes.

Lily slipped her whole body around the sheet, and without a word, climbed into the bed Finn laid on beside him, taking one of his hands into her own. She watched him intently as he stared up into the ceiling with one eye. He looked tired from being awoken in the middle of the night, and stressed from seeing his parents fight outside of their home. Lily spoke softly as she rubbed his hand with her own. "How's Rain?"

Finn let out a sigh as he moved his hand covering his other eye away from his face. "Upset… but I stayed with her until she fell asleep." Finn crossed his eyebrows as he raised a hand in the air as he talked. "They have never done this before… I mean… yeah they fight at home, but this… this was the worst I've ever seen it. I honestly don't know what's going on anymore between my parents."

Lily could feel her heart sink once more as Finn spoke. She didn't like seeing her closest friend in so much pain, along with his sister who she adored her whole life. "I'm sorry you had to see that Lily…." Hazel eyes looked up into solid blue, not realizing Finn had rolled over to face her. She smiled weakly as she moved closer to Finn, wrapping her arms around him.

"It's ok."

Finn rested his head on top of hers as she held him close. "I just wish things could go back to how they were before. They were so happy…"

Lily stared into Finn's chest, listening to his heartbeat as she spoke softly. "I know. I can remember how happy they were when I was younger."

"The sad thing is… I can't anymore. I know they were once happy together, I mean, all of us. I just… I can't see it anymore….. The memory. And I feel like… I keep making empty promises to Rain anytime our parents get into a fight…"

Before Lily could respond to Finn, loud knocks could be heard at the door with a very dramatic boy on the other side. "Finn! Finn buddy are you in there?! Are you alright?! Talk to me pal!"

Lily sat up along with Finn and sighed. Both saying the younger boys name in unison. "Leo."

Lily shook her head as she stood, walking over to the door and opening it for Leo who looked at her confusingly. "Well you're not Finn."

"And you're supposed to be in your room sleeping. What do you want?"

Leo looked past Lily and saw Finn on the bed. The blonde haired boy pushed past the older girl as he ran to his friend, wrapping his arms around his head tightly as he squeezed. "I was just so worried about my best friend Finn here! I had to come check on him to make sure he was ok!"

Lily walked back over to the two boys with her arms crossed over her chest. "He's fine, you saw him, now go back to your own room!"

Leo grabbed Finn's chin and squeezed, mushing Finn's lips together. "But look at that face! He clearly needs his best friend right now!"

"Yeah and I'm his best friend. I can take care of him myself! Now get your lame, lion ass back to your own room!"

Leo stood as he began to bicker with Lily. "Yeah right! Like I'd let a dragon stay with my vulnerable, best friend right now! You've got another thing comin' to ya sister!"

Finn watched the two before him bicker back and forth for a long while. The blue haired boy could feel his lips curling up into a smile as he listened to the two of them. Their arguing slowly stopped as they looked to Finn, seeing him laugh uncontrollably as if someone was tickling him. Both looked at Finn with worried and confused looks over their faces, asking at the same time. "What's so funny?"

Finn looked up at his friends as he wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye. "You two!"

"Us?" They said together once again as they both pointed a finger at their own chests.

"Yeah! You two…" Finn started to say as he stood. The boy wrapped an arm around each of their necks, pulling them in closer to his body. "Are both my best friends! And I love you guys!"

Lily glanced out of the corner of her eye at Finn, rolling her eyes as she heard Leo a moment later starting to sniffle. The blonde haired boy sounded like he was crying slightly as Finn held him in place.

"I love you too man!" Leo said as he brought a fist to Finn's backside, pounding it lightly on his back. Lily scoffed as she folded her arms over her chest.

"You guys are so in love with each other."

AN: So kinda rough moment there between Juvia and Gray…. And yes, Finn was the one who named Rain. :) all the more reason to fall in love with his cuteness!
