Gruvia Week Day 3 - Family

A/N: Here is my third entrant for Gruvia Week 2016 - Family. I've never written a family fic ever, it's never even crossed my mind! I hope it's okay!

The early morning sun shone through a crack between the pale yellow curtains in the Fullbuster household just brightly enough to stir a certain grumbling, groggy icemage. It's far too early to be awake on a Sunday morning…. He thought grumpily as he pulled Juvias warm body closer to his chest burying his face into her blue hair. As Gray pulled the watermage closer he heard a small barely audible squeal causing his eyes to fly open temporarily blinded by the harsh sunlight. Lifting his head and craning it slightly Gray peered over his wife's sleeping form and sure enough in her arms was their little daughter curled up fast asleep. Crystal Fullbuster had a habit of sneaking into their bedroom at night to sleep with the two of them.

"Hey little monkey… I know you're not asleep." Gray chuckled quietly "What are you doing in mommy and daddies bed?" He tried to sound assertive, she couldn't keep sleeping in their bed now she was almost five. Gray reached out and ruffled his daughters light sea blue hair making her giggle. It was a mischievous giggle.

"Daddy!" She whispered loudly a playful tone to her voice as she turned to face him with her light gray almost blue eyes "I had a bad dream…" She sniffled making the icemages heart melt instantly as her eyes shone with tears. Juvia shifted in her sleep her brow furrowing.

"Come here little monster." Gray lifted their daughter out of Juvias arms onto his chest slowly. "Try not to wake mommy." He whispered as Crystal giggled again.

"Okay daddy." She smiled at him, she had the same brilliant smile as her mother infact she was exactly like her mother, but she had Gray's ice-make magic and a mix of his and Juvias eyes.

"Do you want to talk about your bad dreams?" Gray asked as he pushed her cute little button nose causing his daughter to scrunch up her face. Crystal fell silent and cast her gaze sideways jutting out her bottom lip as Juvia rolled over still asleep facing the pair.

"I dreamt that mommy died." Tears started forming at the edges of her eyes and Gray stared in shock for a few moments.

"Well. Daddy will never let that happen." He wiped an escaped tear off her cheek. "Daddy will keep her safe. Always. And you. So don't worry about it. It was just a bad dream. Nothing else." Gray turned to look at his sleeping wife next to him, she always looked so peaceful when she was asleep. He squeezed her hand before turning back to his daughter.

"I know you will daddy! It was just scary." She looked him in the eyes now smiling. "But I'm okay now!" Her smile grew a glint appearing in her gray-blue orbs as she reached out and grabbed his ears pulling on them.

"Hey! Ah! Oi!" Gray chuckled as he tried to prise his daughters fingers off his ear lobes, failing that he reached out and tickled her sides making her fall about laughing as Juvia stirred next to them, both father and daughter stopping dead watching as her dark blue eyes opened slowly and the watermage licked her lips squinting in the light.

"Morning princess!" Juvia beamed up at her little gem, the sight of her husband and daughter was the best thing to wake up to in the mornings.

"Sorry to wake you mommy, daddy was tickling me!" The little blue haired mage spoke.

"What about me?" Gray said pretending to be hurt, Crystal giggled on top of him.

"It's okay darling, mommy had to wake up at some point! And of course good morning to you to my love!" Juvia chimed placing a small kiss on Gray's lips.

"Ewww." Crystal whined making grossed out sounds as her parents chuckled staring into each other eyes. Gray stroked Juvias cheek basking in the sheer bliss of the moment.

"Oh Mavis!" Juvia blurted out eyes growing wide, her hand flying to her mouth as she bolted to the en suite bathroom, throwing herself to the floor as she heaved.

"Is mommy ok daddy?" Crystal asked worry laced in her voice.

"I'm sure she's okay, why don't you go get dressed and daddy will check on mommy?" Gray gave his daughter a pat on the back as she happily complied skipping out her parents room to her own. "Juvia?" Gray spoke up. "Are you okay?" He threw the covers off of him as he swung his legs over the bed.

"Juvia is fine! Please don't come in!" Juvia pleaded.

"Juvia…" Gray began running a hand threw his raven bangs.

"Juvia will be right out!" The blunette shouted as Gray sighed, defeated, climbing back into bed to wait for her.

A few minutes passed before Juvia emerged, Gray's eyes immediately flickering to her full of concern and worry, she was never ill.

"Are you okay?" He asked again his eyes following her around the room as she got back into bed wrapping her arms around his torso as he stroked her hair. Her eyes met his as she pursed and unpursed her lips a few times. "Juvia?" He stroked her arm then her cheek as he looked deep into her eyes, they were sparkling with happiness but hidden there was also nervousness.

"Well…. We made need a bigger bed." She giggled smiling at him, Gray's eyes going wide his heart hammering in his chest. Was she?

"You're?" He asked smiling back at her.

"Yes. Juvia is pregnant again!" She beamed at him as his lips met hers surprising the watermage as Gray pulled her on top of him wrapping his arms around her waist.

"That's amazing Juvia." His voice was soft and his eyes even softer, a smile on his lips as the icemage stared up at his wife, her blue waves cascading down the shoulders hanging down over him, her eyes wide, she looked so beautiful as the sun lit up her features giving her a golden glow.

"Juvia is so happy!" She exclaimed pressing a long kiss on his lips.

"Me too." Gray smiled back as Juvia rolled off to the side of him again wrapping her arms around his chest as she listened to the sound of his strong heartbeat, Gray stroking her blue tresses once again both of them in a silent bliss, revelling in the news that they were expecting another bundle joy. Another little monster running riot. Gray smiled. Our perfect little family is getting bigger. And it's going to become even more perfect.
