Levy held the baby in her arms. It was a special feeling holding her. She was asleep at the moment and it was very peaceful. She had her father's pink hair and Levy wondered if she would grow up to be more like Natsu or more like Lucy. Maybe a mix of both.

A month had passed since Levy's water broke. A month spent in bed reading and watching tv. Gajeel had bought a small tv and but it the bedroom so she could watch some tv when she wasn't reading. She had learned to knit and had almost finished a baby blanket. It lay on the nightstand next to her. It was blue and green. She was planning to make a second one, so the babies would have one each.

She and Lucy had talked a lot on the phone during the last couple of weeks, but this was the first time they where here on a visit. It was so nice to see Lucy again, and the baby was so cute

"She's amazing," Levy said and smiled at the baby.

"She is. I can't believe she's mine."

Lucy's expression was full of love and pride when she looked at her sleeping daughter. This tiny little human was part of her, and part of Natsu. It was unbelievable. It was amazing how much love they had for her.

"Have you decided on a name yet?" Levy asked and smiled down at the sleeping baby again.

"Natsu thinks we should call her Nashi. He says it's a combination of our names, Natsu and Lucy, though she gets an i instead of an y."

"That's really sweet," Levy said. "Hello Nashi."

The baby girl stirred in her sleep and put her tiny hand around Levy's finger. Levy smiled one more time. She was adorable.

"Have you guys talked about names?" Lucy asked. She had been standing by the window, now shr sat down on the bedside next to Levy

"Not really, but we still have time."

The truth was, Gajeel was getting more and more nervous the closer they got to the babies being born. He tried not to show it but Levy knew him pretty well by now. Names was the last thing on his mind.

"Is she sleeping all night?" Levy asked and turned the conversation back to Lucy and Nashi.

"She wakes up two or three times, I feed her and then we're back to sleep again."

Nashi made a little noise, yawned and opened her eyes. She blinked at Levy and wrinkled her nose before she started crying.

"I think she wants her mother," Levy said.

Lucy took her in her arms and rocked her untill she stopped crying.

"I think she's hungry. It's time for her to eat. Do you mind?"

Levy shook her head and Lucy sat down on the chair in the corner. Levy shifted in the bed trying to get more comfortable. The babies where moving so much she wondered what they where doing in there. She was hoping the next couple of weeks would pass by fast. She was really bored by now and she wanted to hold her babies.

Gajeel and Rogue and prepared the twins' room and they had done a pretty good job putting the cribs together and painting the walls, and also putting a wardrobe, a bookshelf and a dresser in there. They needed some more clothes, but other than that everything was ready.

Two weeks later Levy woke up wirh pain in her lower back. She didn't say anything to Gajeel when he kissed her goodbye before going to work. Maybe she just needed to stretch or find another position or something. Her body was aching a bit after staying in bed for so long.

But the pain didn't go away. An hour after Gajeel left, she realised she was going into labor. It wasn't that bad at first, but once she realised it was labor pains it happened pretty fast. Was she ready for this? Was her bag packed? How was she going to get to the hospital?

She reached for the phone on the nightstand. Rogue answered on the third signal and Levy told him to get up to her bedroom. When he got there and saw Levy trying to get out of bed while grabbing the sheets in pain, he stopped in the doorway, pail and nervous.

"Oh, come on, not again." he said.

"Yes, and it's for real this time. You have to take me to the hospital. Now!"

She breathed through gritted teeth and grabbed the sheets again. Rogue hurried to her side and helped her get down the stair. He had to run back up to get the bag she needed to take with her and called a cab on the way. Luckily the cab was there in a couple of minutes and he helped her inside. He took her phone to call Gajeel, he remembered his number this time, and almost doubled over from pain when Levy grabbed his hand. He watched her nervously as he waited for Gajeel to answer. Pick up, pick up, pick up!

Gajeel stepped down from the ladder and put the screwdriver in his toolbelt. He picked up his phone and stared at the screen as the phone kept ringing. Levy. He felt a chill down his spine before he answered.

"Hi Levy."

"We're on our way to the hospital," Rogue's voice told him.

Why was he on the phone, why didn't Levy make the call? What was wrong?

"Why, what's wrong?" Gajeel quickly asked. He wasn't sure if he was still breathing.

"She's in labor," Rogue said and grunted with pain. "I'm not even sure we're gonna make it to the hospital,"

"No, why did you say that? You have to make it! I'll meet you there as soon as I can!"

He put the phone away and almost fell over the ladder when he turned around. He quicklu looked around to see if anyone noticed and straightened up. He ran to Lily's office. His heart was beating so fast and he felt like he was going to faint. He wasn't ready for this. He really wasn't ready for this. Two babies. A father, he was becoming a father.

He opened Lily's door without knocking and stumpled in on a conversation between Lily and Kinana.

"Sorry. Babies. Levy's having the babies."

"I'll take you there," Lily said and then turned to Kinana. "Can you take care of things around here?"

"Sure, no problem." She left the chair and walked out of the office. "Congratulations," she said as she walked past Gajeel.

"Thanks," he mumbled in response.

His mind was a mess and he wasn't sure what he was feeling. But when he saw Levy lying on the hospital bed with two tiny babies sleeping on top of her and her arms secured around them, and she smiled a weak and tired smile, all he knew for sure was all the love he felt at that moment.
