So here it is, the third and final part. Now I hate to be one of those authors.. but it would REALLY mean the world to me if people (especially the ones who reviewed part one)would review part 2 and 3.
I will admit after how many people reviewed part one I was sad to see much less for part two ):
And reviews are what keep me writing ;)
Enjoy~
Life was good in Magnolia.
The Fairy Tail guild was in high spirits since the return of their favorite water wizard, and of course for her new found relationship with Gray. No one had expected the events that took place under the mistletoe at Christmas, but everyone had witnessed it. Congratulations were thrown around, the girls all squealed and hugged Juvia, Elfman even gave Gray a speech about how manly his confession was.
Yes.. everything was perfect for the new couple now.
Except..
''Love rival.. Juvia doesn't understand'' Said women mumbled, holding out the piece of plastic for Lucy to see. Neither one was sure what to make of this. They sat huddled in a guild bathroom stall staring at the tiny little pink plus sign, as if it would disappear into thin air if they look away.
''Juvia..'' Lucy gulped, ignoring the continued use of the silly nickname.''You're.. pregnant''
Just a few hours prior to this discovery a very pouty Juvia lay with her head on the guilds bar. No one dared approach her as they all knew what was wrong.
Gray had left for a mission.. without her.
''Try and cheer up, he'll be back soon'' Mirajane pet the bluenettes head as she spoke, trying to be soothing.
''How could Gray-Sama leave Juvia like this? Especially now!''
Curious, Lucy who had been sitting with her as a silent comfort, spoke up. ''What's so different from any other time he's gone on a mission?''
Juvia glowered at her as if she'd missed something obvious ''Juvia is sick! Gray-Sama should be here to look after Juvia!''
''Sick?''
Juvia nodded, blowing her nose into a tissue dramatically. ''Juvia has been quite unwell''
Lucy seemed reluctant to ask, but was too worried about her friend to just leave it at that.
''Unwell.. how?''
''Well..'' she put a finger on her chin in thought ''Juvia has been feeling very nauseous lately, tired, and Juvia and Gray-sama has been fighting because Juvia has been so irritable.. and..''
She paused, blushing. Continuing in a low voice she leaned close to Lucy.
''Juvias.. breasts are tender''
Lucys eyes were wide as dinner plates.
''Love rival..?''
Snapping out of it, she grabbed Juvia by the hand and made a beeline for the door. ''We need to get something, you're coming with me!''
''B-But Lucy!''
''Come on!''
And now here they were, sitting across from one another. Both pairs of eyes were focused on the pink plus as Lucy uttered the three words that would change Juvias life forever.
''Juvia.. you're pregnant''
Juvia stared straight ahead, eyes blank as she absorbed Lucys words.
Pregnant
Pregnant
Pregnant
''J-Juvia.. is confused..''
Lucys eyes softened at the terrified look on her friends face. ''Juvia it'll be okay, Gray would never leave you with child''
''B-But what if Gray-sama isn't ready! what if he's angry at Juvia..?''
Lucy didn't have an answer for her.
It was three more days before Gray returned from his mission. Exhausted and nearly broke (due to Natsu damaging property) all he wanted was to sleep. Imagine his surprise to find Juvia sitting on his door step.. in the rain.
''Juvia..?''
She glanced up at him, sniffling. Ah so it had been her that caused the rain, but that could only mean..
''What's wrong Juvia? Who did this to you?!'' The anger in his voice caused her to flinch.
Gray growled rushing to his girlfriends side. He gently took her face in his hands and looked her right in the eyes before speaking again (much more softly)
''Juvia.. what happened?''
'Oh Gray-Sama.. Juvia is so sorry''
Well that was unexpected, what could Juvia have to be sorry for? Gray wiped a stray tear from her cheek with his thumb.
''Sorry for what? Juvia you've done nothing wr-''
''Juvia is pregnant''
His hands dropped to his sides, eyes becoming wide like Lucys had. ''You're.. what?'' he whispered, hoping he'd just misheard, But sadly for him, it was no mistake.
''Juvia is pregnant, Gray-Sama..''
''WHAT?''
Pregnant.
After not even 6 months months of dating, he'd managed to conceive a child with her. Groaning loudly, Gray slammed his head onto his kitchen table. Juvia sat across from him, holding her belly in her hands. She looked worried.
Gray took her by the hand, giving it a comforting squeeze. ''I'm not going anywhere''
Her face lit up. ''Oh Gray-Sama! Juvia loves you!''
He smiled. Letting his gaze wonder down, he stared at her belly. He couldn't believe there was something in there. And not just any something, a baby. Their baby. Gray felt his stomach flip at the thought, raising a baby with Juvia.
Smiling a little, he kissed the back of her hand. ''I suppose I better start saving money..''
''Yes..''
''Don't worry'' he pecked her on the forehead ''I'm here for you, no matter what''
Juvia blushed, giving him his favorite smile.
''Juvias what?''
''Pregnant'' Gray repeated to the stunned Mirajane, Natsu and Erza. The young couple stood hand in hand watching their friends reactions. The other guild members just sat back with stunned looks on their faces.
No one had seen this coming, how could they? It was so.. unexpected.
Mirajane squealed. ''Do you think it'll be a boy or a girl!?''
''Juvia hopes for a baby girl, but Gray-Sama wants a boy..'' she pouted. Gray ruffled her hair affectionately.
''A boy to train with is every fathers dream, don't take it so hard''
''Hmph''
Lucy grinned, happy that Juvia had gotten the reaction she wanted. And soon the guild would have a new member..
Gray cleared his throat, getting the attention of everyone around them. ''I'm going to have to go on more missions.. for money''
Clearly this was something his blue haired girlfriend didn't want to think about, as she frowned. ''I know''
''And.. the two of us won't be able to spend as much time together.. but..''
Juvia blinked, where was he going with this?
Gray swallowed the lump in his throat.
''Juvia?''
''Yes?''
''..Will you marry me?''
Juvias eyes widened, and all she could do was nod as the guild hall errupted into cheers.
