Chapter 9 hooray!... yeah doesn't sound so convincing after what happened last time huh. Well maybe things will turn up this time.

Chapter 9

Laxus sat in the guild hall for the first time in a week. He has so far been laying in his bed doing absolutely nothing. He has contemplated dying many times, but her knew that Raxon would never forgive him. All the other guild members tried visiting him many times to attempt cheering him up. Not a single one even got in the door before Laxus threw them out. He didn't want to see anyone, especially anyone from the Thunder Legion. He didn't know if he could possibly trust any of them after the incident with Freed. They did have a memorial service for Raxon, it was short since no one really knew him. There were tears from a good few though, Laxus couldn't stop the entire time. Sadly no body was ever recovered so he couldn't see him one more time before saying bye to him forever. He sat in a corner alone avoiding all conversation that presented itself to him. He had such a nice surprise for Raxon to the day he got captured. He still couldn't believe he let that happen. It was all his fault. He was the one that fired that blast, and he couldn't pull him up. Laxus was disgraced with himself.

Mirajane walked over to him with pure empathy shown on her face. "Laxus, I know its sad that Raxon is gone. But sometimes its best to just let people go. He said himself that he wanted you to keep living. I can understand if you don't talk to me, or anyone for that matter. But I think you should still try to do something to make you happy. Raxon is gone, and he wont come back." Laxus slammed his fist down on the table.

"Shut up Mira! you didn't know him like I did! You talked to him what, one time? I had a relationship with him! We were in love and..." The guild doors opened and everyone could see the shadow of the person that entered. There was a blinding light as the figure entered. Suddenly, it collapsed and people could see it was a blue hooded figure. Natsu ran up to him and started lifting him up.

"Hey man, are you ok? What are you here for?" The person gave no response and continued laying on the floor. Natsu picked him up and began shaking him. "Hey! wake up dude! You don't just walk into a guild hall and collapse without saying why you are here." The hood fell away and revealed a very familiar face. Laxus walked over, he couldn't speak. He gazed into the face of someone he thought he would never see again. He looked into the face of Raxon with shocked, excitement, confusion, and worry. How did he get here? He was almost positive Raxon had died when he fell from that was easily a 50 foot drop. He knelt down and picked him up, and brought him to a table Wendy was standing near.

"Wendy, please help him. I know I don't talk to you often, and I've been a real jerk this past week, but please, help him."

"I'll try my best Laxus. Lay him down." She started to use her healing magic and spread i throughout Raxon's body. "Well, he is still breathing, so that's a good sign. He doesn't seem to have any injuries that are 100% life threatening. I am guaranteed that he will live Laxus, you don't need to worry. For right now you should just let him rest. I can only imagine what he could have been through this past week. He should be up in about 4 hours I would guess. I've done all I can."

"Thank you Wendy." Laxus sat at the table and looked at Raxon for a while. "How did you survive? Where have you been? This doesn't make any sense at all." All these thoughts swarmed through his mind. The moment he woke up he had to ask him these questions. He knew he should Let him tell him himself, but he just had to know. This last week had been absolute torture for him, but this moment, had to be the best thing that's happened to him since he first met Raxon. He sat there for the 4 hours Wendy mentioned. Other guild members came over every now and then to check on him. Others just walked by with a quick glance and had a look of dumbfoundness when they saw Raxon. A few moments later and Raxon's eyes began to open.

"Raxon! Thank the gods you're alive and awake! What on Earth-land happened to you?" Laxus asked instantly.

"Wh..What? Laxus, is that you?"

"Yes. Yes it is. Please, tell me what happened."

"I.. I remember we were falling, Freed and I. I was guaranteed we were dead. After all it was easily a 75 foot drop to the bottom. Freed let go of me after I let go of you, I guess he realized he was dead and he didn't want to touch me as he died or something. Anyway, at the last second before I made impact, I got a little bit of magic energy, and fired a dark missile at the ground. The momentum shift caused me to fall as if I only went ten feet instead. It still hurt majorly when I landed, but I survived. It was so cold where I landed. I started freaking out again. I thought I would die there and never see you again. However, I pulled my strength together, and managed to walk. With all my injuries, and me going so slow, I wasn't able to make it here till now. I figured it would be best to come to the guild instead of our house. I'm not sure how I came to that choice, it just came to me. I'm back now though, we can still be together, and with no worries. I love you Laxus." Laxus began crying and wrapped his arms around Raxon. He winced in pain at the sudden embrace, but dealt wit it just to feel his love's arms around him one more time.

"I, have some great news. I wanted to tell you the mourning that this whole thing happened, but, well you know."

"What is it?" Raxon asked.

"Well, I found this amazing spell. It allows two males to have a child. All we need is a female to carry it for us. We cast it on her, and then our DNA combines and forms a child, just as if a man and women had one. So... what do you say? Want to have a baby?" Raxon just stared in amazement. Was this really possible? Could he and Laxus really have a child? They would really need to pick someone they trust to carry it. There was also the idea that it might not even work. However, this was a once in a lifetime thing to go on. He couldn't let it pass.

"Absolutely Laxus. I would love nothing more than to be a father with you and have a baby."

"Raxon, that's wonderful. Now all we have to do is think of the right girl to carry it." He hugged Raxon again, lighter this time to avoid causing pain again.

"We can think about it now can't we? We have all day and it looks like everyone here wants to leave us alone." Laxus looked over and saw that even though everyone was staring at them, they kept their distance. They must have realized that they wanted to just be with each other with no interruptions.

"Ok, so lets find our 'mom' to be."

"Well, we can't have Cana, with all that drinking it would be gone in a day. Lucy would work, but she goes on so many jobs and gets hurt so often she may lose it. Wendy is to young, even though that would be perfect. Juvia, her whole body is water, I don't know if she can even have a kid. Who does that leave?"

"Well, there's Levi, but I'm not sure Gajeel would like that very much. They aren't actually dating, but like Natsu and Lucy everyone can see it. That leaves Mira. I was so mean to her just a while ago though. I don't think she would be very happy for us to ask her of this after that."

"She's a very forgiving person Laxus, why not ask her? After all I don't think there are any other girls left that we really know that well. I know it doesn't sound right, but I don't trust Evergreen. After all that's happened, I just don't believe it to be a good idea."

"Ok, I'll ask Mira. I'm sure Elfman would be fine with it and she really doesn't do much to get hurt and lose it. She also never drinks so we don't need to worry about that." Laxus looked over and yelled to the bar. "Mira, can we speak to you for a moment please?" Mira walked over, with no sign of remorse for what happened earlier.

"What do you need Laxus?"

"First, I wanted to apologize for earlier. I shouldn't have yelled at you. You were just trying to help me. Please forgive me."

"It's no problem Laxus. I know you were just angry at life and everything. I'm sure you didn't mean it. Now what else did you need?"

"Raxon and I have decided to have a kid. There is a spell that can be used to infuse our genes into a female, and have her carry it. We are very desperate. Please, would you carry our baby?

"Laxus, I would be honored to. I'll make sure I stay safe and sound while I'm carrying it. I won't let a drop of alcohol in my body. Now when would you like me to begin carrying it?"

"Well, it takes 9 months on average for a baby to be born. That means if we start now we will have it sometime in June? What do you say Raxon, do you want to start now?"

"Um, any chance we can wait till I have my energy back and I'm a little bit more healed? I'm not sure how the spell works and I want to be prepared for it."

"Well for the spell all we have to do is place our hands on Mira's stomach and chant the incantation. The magic energy needed is great, but I have more than enough for both of us."

"Really? Then lets do it right away. Write down the incantation and I'll read it with you. Mira, would you be fine with starting now?"

"I'm perfectly fine with beginning now. Just place your hands on me and recite the spell." Laxus grabbed a wizard pen and wrote the words in the air.

"Now Raxon, place your hands over mine." He placed his hand on the center of Mira's stomach and Raxon followed suit. "Now, say the words with me."

They spoke in unison, "Heavenly spirits of life, we beckon you to bless us with a new life of our own. Let these two lovers make what they can not make together, and form life within this vesal." A bright white magic circle formed around them and glowed with brightness enough to blind most of the guild for a few moments. After a few seconds the light subsided and the three stood there with their hands still on Mira's stomach. They both backed away and looked at Mira.

"Do you feel anything Mira?" Raxon asked.

"I'm...not sure. I don't feel any different honestly. Maybe it just takes some time to kick in. I'll let you know the moment I eel something though. Although, I have a feeling that it...Ugh!" Mira ran to the bathroom as fast as she could. Some people standing near could hear her vomiting violently in there. She appeared back a few minutes later not looking very well. "Well, if I know anything about pregnancy, I think that was mourning sickness and it worked. Congratulations Laxus and Raxon, you are going to be parents." Laxus and Raxon both looked at each other and had the largest smile anyone had ever seen on someone before. They embraced each other and stayed like that for a long time. When they separated Laxus spoke first.

"So, looks like we are going to have to think of some names Raxon. Ready to be a dad?"

Hey look at that Raxon's alive! I'm assuming most of you knew something like that was going to happen, but I can guarantee none of you saw a baby coming. If you have any ideas on a name let me know in the comments. If I see one I like, who knows, you may have just named the first child of Raxon and Laxus. Until next chapter fans. Bye!
