Erza woke up doing the same routine everyday. She feel more at peace now since her comrades will be there to support her but deep down there is still a piece of her heart that hope that the baby that is inside her right now will be able to feel his or her Daddy's touch and love. She is walking through the streets of Magnolia to go the guild.
" Surprise ! " The guild was decorated with full of balloons and " Happy Birthday Erza " banner was hanging.
Oh today was my birthday... Erza has forgotten about her birthday and was actually shocked when all her friends remember it.
" Were surprise Erza? Were you? " none other than Natsu and Happy came attacking her with questions.
" Now come on you two let her breathe. It's not good for Little Gray ! " Lucy stopped them so that Erza can actually move. Erza just stood there smiling while her hand was on her belly bump.
" Come on Erza make a wish and blow the candles " came Mira with a big cake that was written " HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERZA ! ". Erza made her wish and blew all the candles in one blow.
" Thanks guys. I'm really happy and appreciates all of this. " Erza was slightly tearing. Urgh hormones
" That's what us are for ! " said Cana and Gildarts smiling at Erza.
" TIME FOR PRESENTS ! " shouted Natsu and Happy while dragging Erza slowly as possible so that they wont hurt her and Little Gray.
" You guys be careful ! " shouted Lucy.
" This guild won't be complete without them bickering at each other huh, Master ? " said Macao.
" Yes, definitely. "
" Wait, The Raijinshuu and Laxus is not back yet? " asked Cana.
" Nop, i think they're taking their own sweet time to get back here " replied Gajeel.
" Well, they're going to miss the cake then ! " shouted Natsu.
" And more for us!" continues Happy. Natsu and Happy went back to rush Erza so that she'll open their present first.
The sunset can be seen which means that it's going to be night soon. Erza just sigh while smiling while rubbing her belly and she looks around the guild they're all happily partying. Then when everyone started to go back so does Erza but Natsu and Happy was accompanied her and until they see she's safe in the house then they went back. After Erza took a shower and change to her nightgown she made her way to the bed
" Gray, me and the baby are doing great. In fact the baby is so active. Of course our Little Bean got it from you his or her Daddy. " She said while smiling with one hand on her stomach with Little Bean kicking and the other was holding Gray's necklace. I just wish you were here ... thought Erza and fell asleep.
Meanwhile in the guild
" Gramps ! " shouted Laxus while him and the other Raijinshuu rushing in.
" What is all this chaos about ! " Master Makarov came down grumpily but when he saw what they were holding he was wide awake and shocked.
" What do we do now, Gramps ? " Laxus asked him shocked himself.
At Gray's house
Erza was sleeping soundly but something pounding and shouting woke her up. She slowly made her way to go open the door.
" Erza go get ready now ! Master has something important to show you ! " said Lucy.
" Can't it wait till the sunrise ? "
" NO ! It seems important come on now Erza go get ready faster ! "
After Erza got ready, she and Lucy made their way to the guild. What's so important that Master wants to show me. Erza wondered, they reached the guild and went in. Everyone was there but the guild was quiet and Natsu just stood there staring at Erza when she arrive not only Natsu but everyone. Slowly Mirajane went to Erza.
" What's wrong with everyone ? " Erza's heartbeat was beating fast and her hand went automatically to her Little Bean while the other went to the necklace that was around her neck.
" They... They found... Gray." said Mirajane slowly. Erza was shocked and Mirajane bring her upstairs to show her. Erza was scared that it was not Gray who's still alive but Gray who's already dead.
She saw Polyushika was there and the the person who was sleeping on the bed was Gray. My wish came true... Erza without hesitations go to Gray and grabbed his hand while tears keep coming. Suddenly the hands she was holding were moving and she looked to Gray's face his eyes were slowly opening.
" Gray ? " Erza said while soothing his hair with one hand and rubbing his hand with another but what came from Gray's mouth shocked her and everyone in the room.
" Who... who're you ? " Gray said to Erza with his face expression in confusion.
