Light
Month 7 of Juvia's pregnancy and Month 4 of their engagement.
Gray was sitting at the kitchen table, reading the newspaper as he sipped his coffee, he peeped above the article he was reading and focus his eyes on Juvia who was sitting across the table, eating toast, pickles, tuna and strawberries... he didn't like her taste in food but he help but gaze upon how beautiful she looked, she wore her hair up in a loose bun and wore a loose white dress. She was glowing and he had to admit she was quite cute for a pregnant woman. They woke up early so they could pack for their trip to Margaret Town where Lamia Scale was holding their Master's 90th birthday celebration and spent two days in Lyons house.
He looked back at the paper turning the page and sipping his coffee, he read the headline 'the lighting mage, Mazesus has escape!' he choked on his coffee,'What?! He wiped the coffee from his chin and kept on reading for more details "What is it Gray-sama?" she asked still eating. He kept his eyes on the paper, hiding his shocked face "Nothing, just read something funny!" he rushed out, he rolled the newspaper and stood up "I'm going to the bathroom, call me if you need anything" and walked out of the kitchen and into the bathroom, locking the door after him.
He paced around the bathroom in deep thought 'What if we become targets? I can't put Juvia and the baby at risk, come on Gray! What should I do, think, think think!' he hit his head, trying to plan in his head 'I got it! We'll stay in Lyon's until they capture this guy, Lyon won't mind us staying, he's got a big enough house' he thought, taking out a small Communication Lacrima Crystal, called Lyon and told him about the situation, he understood the situation and allowed them to stay as long as they liked, he also got in contact with Master Makarov who allowed him to take leave for awhile and even set up Gray to work in Lamia scale when he needed money and thankfully Master Ooba Babasaama allowed it, Master also asked Gajeel and the shadow gear to track down Mazesus.
He walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom where he found Juvia packing her things "Better pack more clothes, we'll be staying a few more days due to a last minute temporary job exchange to Lamia scale, I hope you're not mad" he said grabbing some more clothes out of the drawer and putting them in his luggage, she looked at him "Does Lyon-sama mind if we stay longer?" he zipped up his luggage "Yeah he said it was ok as long as we..." remembering Lyon's words making him blush "...don't stain the sheets..." Juvia looked at him and laughed "Haha, we can't keep that promise" she giggle, wiping her tears. He looked at her with a dumbfound face 'She was planning on it?!' she got her luggage, pulling up the handle up and wheeled it behind her "Come on, Gray-sama, the train leaves in 12 minutes" she said as she waddled out the door "Wait Juvia! I can't keep up with you!" he joked as walked through the door.
The train ride was long but Juvia spent most of it sleeping peacefully and Gray spent his time doing what he does best... messing around to pass the time, an hour into the ride he actually froze the floor and skated around the cabin as everyone watched, luckily Juvia wasn't awake or she would've gave out to him. When they train arrived at Margaret Town train station they were approached by Lyon in his Magic mobile, he helped Juvia with her luggage and helped her into her seat and drove off accidentally forgetting Gray, they backed up to where he was "How could you forget about me?!" he shouted in annoyance "Sorry, Gray-sama" Juvia sweat dropped, he turned to Lyon who was smirking deviously "Are you gonna stand there or are you gonna get in?" Gray growled in annoyance and got in. He hated how Lyon gets on his nerves.
When they arrived they put their things in their room and ate dinner that Lyon prepared, they ate and talked. Lyon talked about his adventures and jobs he went on and Juvia listened while Gray snorted thinking Lyon was probably exaggerating about most of the story, they were interrupted when Lyon got a call on his lacrima , he went into the kitchen to answer it and popped his head out of the door "Gray, come here for a sec will ya? Juvi-chan we'll be back momentarily" Gray got up and went to the kitchen "What is it?" Lyon looked seriously at him "Your house was broken into but nothing was robbed but seemed to be rummaged through" Gray was enraged upon hearing the news, he was also afraid of what Juvia would do when she came home seeing everything destroyed "I have to go back... and clean up and put everything to the way it was..." He muttered angrily, Lyon glared at him "So you're just gonna leave Juvia alone?" He angrily whispered "Of course not, she's gonna stay here with you while I catch the fastest train heading home and will come back as quickly as possible" He grabbed Lyon's collar, bring his face close to his and he looked as if he would kill someone tonight "Listen here, Lyon, I'M THURSTING you to look after HER and IF anything happens while I'm away I WILL KILL YOU" he let go of his collar "Yeah, yeah I get it, now go before you miss a train"
They both walked back into the dining room, Gray grabbed his jacket and kneeled in front of Juvia taking her hands "Juvia I'm sorry but I have to leave, I forgot something at home" he her forehead "Lyon promised to look after you until I come back" he walked to the door and opened it "I'll be back as soon as possible, love you!" he waved and closed the door "b-bye, l-ove you t-too?" she stuttered 'what just happened? He was in and out in a flash' "He'll be a while" Lyon said taking a seat "Now, we can either talk about baby names or watch a movie, your pick" he said smiling, she shuttered at the thought of talking about baby names with Lyon "Movie please!"
"Hmmm" she looked through the collection of movie lacrimas "Juvia's seen all these!" Lyon started thinking 'What should we do to pass the time?' "How about we go to the theater nearby and watch a new movie? How does that sound?" he asked, her eyes lit up, she loved to watch movies in the theater "Oh yes please, but can we walk? Juvia needs to stretch her legs" She said putting on a coat "As you wish, Juvi-chan" Lyon smirked "How many times does Juvia have to tell you not to call her that?!" she said in annoyance but he just laughed and walked out the door.
The movie they watched was two hours long and Gray's train would arrive any minute so they decided to go to the train station and wait for Gray. They stood there for a few minutes until Juvia's feet started hurting her, Lyon told her to sit on a bench nearby, she did as she was told and left Lyon who was standing where the train would be arriving, they heard the train approaching and was blinded by its bright lights.. Everything seemed to be in slow motion, Gray looked out his passenger window to see three figures, he could make out that the person standing closer to the track was Lyon, he could tell by the white spiky hair. The second was Juvia sitting on the bench behind Lyon and the thrid standing behind Juvia?... who was that?... His eyes widened.
Lyon was blinded by the trains lights and could hear nothing over the screeching of the train coming to a halt, as the train came closer he could make out passengers in the train and Gray's face which looked... mortified? He was banging on the window as if he were in a panic, pointed at him and pointed to where Juvia was... everything seemed slow, even turning around seemed slow. He looked at Juvia who had her see fixed on the train then he noticed someone standing right behind her holding a knife, his mouth fell open about to tell her to run.
Juvia looked at the train, trying to find her fiancés face among all the other passengers, she found his face looking at her in a state of horror then she turned to Lyon who had the same expression, trying to tell her something but couldn't hear anything over the damn noise. Her blood ran cold as she felt someone grab her neck, then a sharp pain in her tummy. The last thing she saw was Gray breaking through the trains window, horrified passengers and Lyon running to her in slow motion then everything when black. "JUVIA!"
Lyon rushed to her side along with Gray "SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE HURRY!" Lyon shouted and then chased after the person who stabbed her. Gray knelt down and held her close and shook her "Juvia! Please open your eyes! Oh God please be alright" he sobbed still holding her, he looked at her wound. The baby bump had a large gash in the side and amniotic fluid and blood gushed from it "Oh God, Oh God no no no no" he said in panic and sobbed. He froze over the wound in attempt to stop the fluid and blood to pour out. He held on to Juvia for dear life, he didn't even hear the sounds of the ambulance. "Please help her please!" he begged as they carried Juvia into the Ambulance, Gray go in and held her hand as they rushed to the hospital.
Juvia's hearing and vision was fading in and out. She saw Gray over her crying then black. She saw a metal ceiling and a drip beside her and Gray holding her hand, still crying then black. Then she saw nothing at all, as if she was sleeping but then she heard a voice and she opened her eyes.
She saw a light. She saw a big bright white light right above her; she blinked a few times letting her eyes adjust. She looked over to her right, seeing an open window and a ray of light coming in, she saw trees outside and birds flying by. She looked to her left she saw a drip, a heart monitor and an empty chair with a white curtain blocking out the view of the rest of the room. Then she remembered why she was there she sat up but then winched in pain and put her hand where the pain was. Something was missing, she looked down and her eyes widened in horror, she pulled up the hospital gown to see a bandage and a bit of blood seeping through "Where is the bump?! Where's my baby?!" she sobbed clutching her empty tummy.
She heard someone rush in and pull back the curtain, it was Gray and he rushed to her side and hugged her tightly and cried "I thought I lost you!" he sobbed into her "I'm never leaving you alone! Never in a million years!"He sobbed, his tears running down his face. Juvia was glad to see him and hugged him back even though it hurt, she cried too afraid that she wouldn't have been able to see him again "I'm here Gray-sama, I'm here" she sobbed, kissed her fore head over and over and held her in a tight embrace.
His sobbing calmed down "Gray-sama..." she hiccupped still close to sobbing "Where's my baby?" she cried out. He hugged her, looked at her and smiled, he still had tears in his eyes "Babies" he corrected her, her eyes widened "Our b-babies, still a-alive?" she stuttered still looking at him "Twins, just like you said, Juvia" he said proudly. "Where are they? Can Juvia see her little ones?" she asked looking around the room "Hold on one minute" he walked out of the room and came back with a wheel chair. He helped her into it and attached her drip to it, he wheeled her down the into another room close by, he wheeled her to two incubators with two tiny babies in each, one wore a small pink hat and the other wore a small blue hat. "A boy and girl" Gray whispered, she touched the glass and gazed upon them "They're so tiny, Gray-sama" she whispered as she started to tear up.
"You were out for two days, Juvia, so I had to bottle feed them" he whipered as he took her hand, "Did you name them, Gray-sama?" He looked at her and smiled "I took the liberty of naming the boy Storm... Storm Aeolus Fullbuster, I didn't what you to miss out on all the fun of naming our kids" he chuckled he opened the incubators and held the babies in his arms then passed them to her so she could hold them for the first time, she took them carefully as if they would break, she smiled with teary eyes "She'll be named Sylvia... Sylvia Mika Fullbuster" she said proudly, Gray smiled "Your Mother's name?" she nodded happily "And your Mother's too, Gray-sama" he kissed her forehead "Thank you".
She kissed him back "No, thank you" she whisperd, he looked at her "Oh, what for?" he asked questionably, she looked as her sleeping babies in her arms and then at her fiancé "For showing me the light" she smiled, he looked at her, he understood her when she said that from when they met for the first time, making the rain go away. The voice she heard in her deep sleep, who guided her to the light was his voice. He was her light.
