Hey, so this is the last chapter of Thieves and Guards and it may have taken a while to come out but it is now here. Hopefully you have enjoyed this story and will enjoy the epilogue.

And for those of you wondering, one day I will most likely rewrite this because I have ideas to make this better and more complex. But as for now this will be it.

Thank you for reading/following (40 followers! Love you people!)/favoriting/reviewing! I really appreciated all of it and for my first story I think this did pretty well. So thanks!

Chapter 20: Epilogue

"Daddy! Look!" Shouted a six year old boy proudly. The child had wavy, short, black hair and was clutching a square that resembled a wallet in his small fingers. To be specific, Gajeel's wallet.

When the said person patted down his pockets to make sure, he let out a yell of frustration. "Levy! This is the third time in two days! Get the kid to stop stealing!"

There were several thumps before a short, blue haired woman showed up at the bottom of the stairs. She stood for a second before giggling at the situation presented to her. Gajeel's face was red and her son was looking at him with such excitement that she could see Gajeel's frustration slowly fade.

It was funny how much seven years had changed their relationship. At first they had just been comrades though only by a sliver, and even after their kiss, they hadn't truly become a couple. They hadn't been sure if they had kissed because of the leftover adrenaline or because they actually felt that way. In fact now that Levy thought about it, that time in their life had been rather awkward. Neither had known what to do in each other's presence. It had taken Lucy and Nastu for them to accept their feelings towards each other.

Now they had a son that acted like Levy but looked mostly like Gajeel. Levy could honestly say that this had been the happiest she had been for the longest time.

"Con aren't you the smartest?" Levy said fondly ruffling her son's hair. He laughed and smiled while Gajeel's face twisted into a look of mock betrayal.

"You're not supposed to encourage him, shorty!"

Levy ignored him, "To think you were able to get daddy's wallet when daddy is the most cautious person you'll ever get to meet. You'll be able to steal practically anyone's now! I'm so proud of you!"

"Of course I'm cautious! My wife's a well-known thief and my son is now able to steal my wallet. Hell yeah, you know it!"

His wife glanced him, "Gajeel, no cursing in front of him!

Right. That was a bad habit of his. When they had found out she was having a child, she had made him promise that he wouldn't curse around him.

Gajeel had responded by saying he would try. And he had been trying.

"What does 'hell' mean?" Con asked cocking his head with all the child innocence he had with curiosity shining in his wide brown orbs.

"Uh. Well, we can't tell you." Gajeel stumbled while looking at Levy hoping she could thinking up something clever. It was what she was good at. He was the brawn, she was the brains. Though admittedly they both had a little of each.

Unfortunately, Levy looked just as lost as him. "And, um, don't say it in front of anybody."

Con nodded while looking confused. Why couldn't he say it? Why couldn't they tell him what it meant?

"Anyway, you should give me back my wallet." Gajeel changed the subject quickly.

The child grinned and walked up to him. The older male reached for the object only for at the last second it be swiped back.

"Oi! Give it back!" Levy's husband yelled giving chase to the laughing child who held his wallet.

Meanwhile, the woman discreetly stuck out her leg causing Gajeel to fall on his face.

"It actually worked." Levy said disbelieving, "the great guard commander has fallen because of a 'tiny' foot."

"Shut up!" Gajeel snapped while blushing in embarrassment. He jumped back up and ran towards the mischievous boy.

Levy smiled, Gajeel would have a hard time catching him. She had taught him a couple of things not just how to pickpocket. A couple things included being flexible and being slippery which would help him against Gajeel.

This was a good chance to see how well he was and how much he had retained. So far it seemed as though he was a natural just like her but you could never know for sure.

She sighed, today would be fun. And so would be tomorrow and everything after. As long as she had them, it would be fun.

Review, please! And favorite!
