"Second Chance"
"I hate you" were her son's words entering her ears after her son had left with tears on his eyes.
"No Yuki, This is enough with your selfishness, that man is not your Daddy and you should know that. Your Father already died five years ago. I know it hurts, but I feel hurt too, please Yuki." were her words to her sobbing lad.
Sitting on her sofa, after her son had left. Leaving those painful words ringing on her ears. A picture from the side table caught her attention. It was her in the picture, pregnant with her lover in front of her, sitting and talking with her bloated tummy with his hands on each of her side. The two were laughing and in joy, when she had asked their friend Lucy to take a picture with him in that position.
At that time, the man was acting like a child. Embracing her and warming her tummy, talking to her mid waist. It was then that Lucy had silently came inside and was asked by Natsu in a soft whisper to take a secret picture. The soon to be Father was surprised after hearing a camera tone, accompanied by a flash. Turning his head to find his childhood friend giving him a smirk with a camera on her hand.
"Not bad Gray. Here you go Natsu" Were her comments to the man before handing the camera to his wife. Natsu let out a thanks to her friend and warned her husband not to delete the picture. In defeat the man embarrassingly nodded his head in response.
Thinking about her past made her remember her husband and the man that came to her life. The stranger who looks and acts like Gray and even has the same name as her husband. But her heart and mind had denied all his claims, and rebuked him with words that her husband was already dead five years ago.
But the same face, the same body, same name, same actions and use of words. They act and look the same, that she almost thought her husband was back and wants to be by her side again. But her faithfulness to him, her beloved and only man of her life, made her decide to put an end to the the stranger's declaration of love.
Thinking it was best for them to stay away from each other, and for him to fell in love with another woman. Those thoughts made her feel pain in her heart, not realizing the pain, she set her mind on her choice.
The sun was supposed to shine that day, but the clouded dark sky covered their town. It has been raining since last night. But Gray still went to his wife's house. The house, were they used to call as their 'homey house'. Gray borrowed an umbrella from his friend, telling her about his plans and left.
Stopping by the flower shop, Gray brought the carnation his wife loved and some chocolates that she adores greatly in terms of food. Walking by the sideline, heading to her home. The chocolate was tucked inside the bouquet. Sparing a glance at the two-story house they bought, seeing that the rooftop remained blue and the wall painted with sky blue, now was filled with dirt at some area.
Flowers had been tended carefully, though the grass needs to be cut.
Making his way to the front door, the man knocked but no response was given as the pink haired woman saw him. Trying it again, that was then Natsu spoke from her door, not opening the obstacle between them."Didn't I told you not to come back?"
"Please Natsu, I won't pick a fight again. Please let me enter?"
Opening the door, she allowed the man to enter her house. Letting him sit on the sofa, the pink haired Mother sat in front of him. Gray handed her the flowers and chocolates, but it was then given back to him. Telling him her reasons and that he should find someone else to fall in love, because only her husband did she promised to love.
But Gray heard nothing of it. Again he had insisted that he is Gray Fullbuster, her husband, the man who she had married after the lad had asked her to marry him.
Natsu shook her head, telling him it was unacceptable lie. Slapping the man's checks, telling him to stop with his lies and leave her house. Depressed and in pain, feeling his feet heavier than when they have their usual bicker. But this was different, with her denying his identity and his life with her side.
Gray left the house with nothing on his face, the flowers was thrown by him in the trashcan together with the chocolates he bought. Tears falling from his eyes, as the rain had enveloped him with wetness. Walking away from his house, with small steps, allowing the water of the rain to crawl on his skin.
"Well, it gonna end like this?" the man muttered to himself. Moving his head from left to right, he made his way back to the gate of their house, standing. Thinking of ways how to earn her heart again.
A raven haired lad was lying on his bed, awake. His mother's words still lingers in his ears, tossing and turning the lad decided to play. Standing up from his bed, he made his way to his window to pick some of his toys out from the box. The lad was about to play, when an image of a man from the window came to his view. Dropping his toys to the ground with eyes wide. The boy went outside his room, heading to the front door. Picking up his small umbrella with snows as its patterns. The five-year old boy opened the door to greet his father outside.
"Daddy!" the lad exclaimed with happiness, earning his Father's attention.
"What are you doing here, Yuki? Mommy will get mad at you. You might get sick." his Father warned him with worry, as his little boy covered their body with his little umbrella.
"Mommy and I had a fight, so I hate Mommy for now" the lad exclaimed with gloom. His Father let out a sigh and ruffled his messy pink hair.
"Yuki, you shouldn't hate your Mommy. Your Mommy loves you most and I love you too. You don't want Mommy and Daddy to be sad, right?"
The lad nodded his head in response and apologized to his Father.
"You should go now and apologize to Mommy. That way she will be happy again, okay?" his Father gave him his advised as he pushed his back towards the front door. But the lad refused, saying he wants to accompany his Father now and play.
A pink haired woman was sitting in front of her laptop with glasses sitting on top of her nose and ears. Stretching her body from all the reports she needed to submit to her boss. Laughter was then heard outside from her window, taking a peek. Only to saw her son playing with the man that she had asked to leave.
The boy was playing with the rain and jumping from puddles after puddles of water, making the Father and Son laugh with amusement.
The rain suddenly got stronger and her mother instinct took her outside the house with a bigger umbrella covering her head and another closed one on her hand.
"YUKI" Natsu called to her son, who immediately run and hugged her. "Yuki, get back inside the house now. It's raining and you might get sick." His Mother scolded. The lad immediately nodded his head with fright as he bed his Father farewell and went inside the house.
Natsu looked at her son, closing the door and faced the man after.
"Here! use this and please don't come back" The pink haired lady handed her the umbrella and left without another word.
Feeling a knife had struck to his heart, the man opened the red umbrella and left in silence while bearing the pain in his heart.

Two weeks had passed and Gray started to live with Lucy's House for now. His five-year old son would some and visit to go on their own date. Buying and eating things that his little boy wants. They would talk about the little boy's birth and how his Mommy took care of him. Gray would carry his son back to his house and with a kiss to his checks the boy went inside with all the toys his Father had bought for him.
A month had already passed, when Natsu was inside her office. Submitting her works and reports, while taking another project. Her body was tired and her mind was stressed, and it added even more when she saw the raven haired man in front of her house, bringing her son back to her. Her heart would start to beat at times when the man would laugh with his son. But it only brought even more stress to her heart, as she had vowed to love her husband alone.
"Loke, have you seen the sent reports by Gajeel? He said it will be delivered today and I haven't seen it. I need it now." The pink haired lass inquired to her orange haired co-worker, who only shook his head in response. Busy checking the mail one of his staffs had sent him. A brown mid back length haired woman then came behind her back, handing her the thick envelope that the man had sent to her. The pink haired woman then gave her thanks to her friend and continue her project.
The moon had already rise up, when Natsu finally finished her work for the day. Putting her company's laptop inside her bag, the woman left bidding goodbyes to the tiered employees inside.
Passing by a convenience store, the woman bought her self some snacks for her little boy and a coffee on her hand. Stopping in a red light, the woman checked her phone, checking if her son had mailed her. But instead, a mail from her blond-haired friend made her laugh.
A man hiding his hair and mouth was following her from behind, making sure her presence was hidden by the woman he was trailing.
When the light turned green for pedestrians, Natsu moved her feet to cross the road. Passing by a park, humming the tune, her husband used to sing to her. Turning to see another man inside, picking up a child while tickling her tiny tummy. The child would call out to him as 'Papa' and a woman would go and wiped their son's little face which who he call as his 'Mama'.
Natsu released a sigh from her throat, her mind started to wonder how they would be like if her husband was alive. A smile then formed in her lips as the family made their way outside the park, planning to head home for supper.
A beep from her side made her surprise, as car had passed, warning her to be careful when walking the sidewalk. In a flinch when that car passed, she accidentally dropped the plastic bag from her hand. Crouching down to pick the bag, and smiled to herself to find the contents not ruined inside.
A child had then bumped her from her behind, making her fall forward to the ground. Letting out a yelp as the child had left without noticing what he had done. Gathering her feet and her bags, a beep suddenly came coming from a car.
The driver was honking his car towards her as he had lost control of his engine, trying to brake but failed as his brake had broke. Opening his side window, shouting towards the woman to move away. Natsu started to feel her heart drumming in fear. Attempting to stand, but her left foot got hurt from her fall, making it hard for her to walk while carrying her heavy bag on her side and the plastic on her hand.
The car was now four steps towards her, as she felt someone had pushed her behind. Making her face hit the wall, as a shout from another woman entered her ears. Bearing the pain from her face after a kiss was given to her by a concrete, the woman turned and saw someone lying on the ground instead of her.
The car had hit his body and made him crawl the top of the car roof and fell lifeless on the ground, as the car had hit the telephone pole, at the end corner of the park. The Frighten woman had then called the ambulance, while the almost victim of the incident fell silent in fear with her nose dripping with blood.
Looking at her savior, the woman saw a raven black hair. Standing from where she fall, she walk towards the man and stared at his familiar back. The clothes that someone used to stay at their home used to wear. The hat was a hand away from his head, his feet was apart as the other was curled, his arms was on each side of his head with palms half closing.
The man opened his eyes and moved his hand. A shadow loomed over him and saw his wife's face. "Natsu? Are you alright?" was his question as he slightly move his head to catch a better view. The pink haired lady had then placed both of her hands to her mouth as she kneeled beside the man. Tears started to fall as she felt pain in her chest inside her heart. Feeling the same like what she had felt after she had lost her husband. Crying the man's name again and again. Trying to make him stay conscious as the ambulance had arrive but failed as the man slowly closed his eyes with relief after the woman had nodded her head. Telling him, she is safe.
The operation was a success and the man was now sleeping inside a private room. Natsu was sitting on his side after she gave a call to Lucy to take care of her son at a longer time because of the accident that happened to the man. Informing her about the news, the blond-haired woman started to sob, nodding her head in agreement not to tell her young son, who adored the man that had saved her life.
Holding the mans' hand from the bed, giving him thanks for saving her life. Standing from the stool, she walked closer to his face and removed the raven hair that was covering his eyes. Making her remember how she held her husband's corpse after she heard the news of his death.
Putting his hand back to the bed carefully, she went to her bag and took her beeping phone out. Lucy was on the other line, trying to stop the crying voice of Natsu's little man.
"Is everything alright Lucy?" came her worried response.
"Not really, Yuki heard the news from the neighbors and heard me talk about Gray's accident when I was talking with my husband. Now his insisting that he wants to see his Father"
Natsu had gotten use with her son calling the man as his Father, releasing a sigh from her mouth. She allowed the boy to come, knowing her son is as stubborn as his Father and her. The two ended the call and Natsu sat to back to her seat. Hoping the man will have a peaceful rest and will wake up soon.
Shock was then painted on her face, after the doctor had told her the man had fallen into a deep sleep. Telling her no one will know, when he will wake up. The son overheard the report from the doctor to his Mother, he then insisted that he will take care of his Father with his small body with resolute. The mother nodded her head and decided to take care of the raven haired man together.

A raven haired man had opened his eyes on his bed, tossing on his side to feel another warmth near his body. Sitting up, to see a pink haired woman sleeping beside him. Her name rang to his head, as he wondered why they are in the same bed. That was when the door had opened and a five-year old boy with raven hair and entered their room, greeting him with good morning as the lad had crawled to his bed.
The woman then woke up from her slumber after she felt the shaky feeling on her bed. Opening her eyes and stretching her upper body, as she sat up and greeted the man beside her with a kiss on his checks.
"Morning Love" the pink haired woman greeted her.
"Natsu? What are you doing here? Why are we in the same bed?" he asked to his wife slowly.
Natsu raised one of her eyebrow as a pout was covered in her mouth, "What are you talking about Gray? We're married already and has been sharing the same bed, after we had sex ever since we had graduated high school" The woman replied with a pout while covering her sons ears, from her reply.
"What? But I thought you don't believe me that I am your husband." were the words that had left her mouth.
"Seriously, are you alright? Are you sick? Want me to call in sick for you at your work?" his wife worriedly asked placing her palm on his forehead, checking his temperature.
"I'm not sick"
"Then, what has gotten you?"
"I mean, I am confused. I remember getting into an accident and then I saw you crying as I fell asleep"
The woman fell silent as she started to laugh, holding her stomach. "What are you talking about? Are you still dreaming? Accident? Or did you mean the movie?" his wife giggled, as she gave his mouth a full press on his lips with hers.
"That should wake you up, and to remind you. We were in our living room, watching a movie until we got sleepy, right Yuki?" The woman asked cheerily to her son, hugging his body while giving kisses on his checks.
The boy nodded his head with delight, giggling from his Mother's raspberry blow from his tummy.
The man ruffled his hair, standing up from his bed with confusion still lingering in his mind. The little raven haired crawled to his Father and asked him to carry him, which he then complied. Following his wife down the kitchen, after she had stood up from her bed.
Looking around the house, to see it the same except with pictures that was hanged on their wall. Putting the lad down, as he made his way to the table filled with picture frames. Seeing a picture with him hugging his wife's stomach while talking to her bloated tummy. His face started to blush, remembering how the picture was taken and how his wife had threaten him, if he will delete it.
Another picture then came to his view. A picture with a toddler on his hands, that he was sure that something like that did not happen. Moving his eyes picture after pictures that he was sure didn't happened with him, he turned and saw another picture with a one year old toddler on his arms with tears streaming from his face,
"When did this happened?" are the words that he muttered to himself. "I am sure that I died after Natsu gave birth to my son, then I was alive again five years later. But Natsu won't believe me.'
Confusion had then started to cloud his heart and mind as he turned around the living room, seeing things that it shouldn't exist. But here, his death never came and he was living with his Family ever since his child was born. A call from his wife had cut off his thoughts, telling him to seat and eat breakfast.
Seating on a chair beside his pink haired wife, the man ate while listening to his Mother and son talk with glee. Soon he got used to it and had forgotten the thoughts that had clouded his mind, entering their chat with contentment.
Watching shows and playing with his family at noon, eating at their tiny pavilion with foods that he had cooked. Singing songs to his wife, like how he used to sing to her. His son would join with his singing and the two would sweet talk with the only woman of their life. To him, it was pleasure and heaven just to be by their side. Feeling that he got everything that he wanted, he decided to stay together with his family feeling relished.
It was already evening, when his son had told him that he should go back. Turning his head to find his son staring at him with pain.
"Daddy, you should go back. Mommy is Crying"
With worry the man walked towards him and asked, "What is it Yuki? Did something happened to Mommy?"
The little boy shook his head, knowing his Father meant the woman she now saw as his wife, "No, but my other Mommy is crying. You should wake up Daddy." The lad informed his Father, knowing this was all a dream for his Old man.
"What do you mean crying? Look, your Mommy is laughing hysterically from that show." the man pointed out after hearing his wife's hilarious laugh.
"No, not her, But my other Mommy. Her Yuki is also crying, if you won't wake up. You might not see us anymore" the lad had warned as then his view started to turn white.
With worry, he turned and started to shout for their names, calling out for them and asking what is happening. It was then A short elderly man with black eyes had appeared in front of him.
"Who are you, were his question to the old man in front"
The old man smiled and asked how he was feeling. Ignoring his question the lad asked the elder man again in anguish. The man cough a few times and placed his left hand behind his back with his right hand scratching his head, which it was almost bald with only the outer rims contained white hairs.
"My name Makarov Dreyar. So, what did you feel? Having your wife on your arms and your son in your arm? Even your death five years ago, didn't happened."
"Are you the one who gave me another chance?" Gray had asked, earning another nod from the old man who was facing him.
"Your son was almost five, when he had asked to give you another chance. Knowing that this is forbidden, but I made his wish happen. So, how did you felt when your son hugged you, but your wife did not believe you?"
Gray fell silent and stilled, but opened his mouth to answer to the old man. "I felt painful at the same time Happy that I was able to embrace and feel my sons warmth. But my wife didn't believe me one bit and insisted that I was already dead five years ago. I felt my heart ache in agony, knowing she will never notice who I am"
"I see? Then, do you want to stay alive or rest forever?" the older man has asked, waiting for the younger man to answer.
Gray had then opened his mouth to speak and felt someone holding his hands, turning his head to see his pink haired lovely wife holding his hands with delight and happiness looming around her.
The couple walked their way away from the old man, as he slowly disappeared behind their back.
