My Everything
Day 04 – Kissing In The Rain
#
Gray woke up after hearing rain outside their house. He opened his eyes and saw his daughter peacefully sleeping with her little body pressed on his, arm across his chest, her dark hair full of curls were a mess, she had the cutest onesie on, pink with blue snowflakes, and she was sucking on a pacifier.
With a smile on his lips, he kissed the top of her head and carefully pushed her arm away, put a pillow where he was sleeping to make sure she wouldn't roll off the bed and left the room after putting on a pair of sweatpants over his underwear.
He found his wife doing the night's before dishes and he went straight to her, wrapping his arms around her waist and burying his face on the crook of her neck. "Good morning." Juvia giggled. "You woke up early for someone who arrived home in the middle of the night."
"The rain woke me up. Then there was a cute girl on my bed; just not the one I was expecting to find. Decided to get up, after that." Gray told her and the blunette laughed.
"A little after you arrived, she woke up hungry and I brought her to our bed. She fell asleep, and then I was too tired to put her back to her crib." Juvia explained. "She looked too peaceful this morning to move her, sorry."
"Don't be." Gray kissed her cheek before let her go. "After that mission, I needed to see her."
"Juvia noticed you didn't even flinch when Rose cried, or when she kicked you a couple of times during the night." She turned around to look at her husband. "Is everything alright?"
"Yeah, I completed the mission and came home in one piece. It's just seeing Rose first thing in the morning makes me feel much better." He shrugged.
"Look at you." Juvia smiled and put her arms around his neck and he did the same around her waist. "You used to freak out with her sleeping in our bed because you were afraid we would roll over her. Overprotective daddy."
Gray snorted. "It was a valid concern, thank you very much. And I am not overprotective."
Juvia smiled and gave him a peck on the lips. "Yes, you are. Last week Igor tried to hug her and you didn't let him."
"Excuse me, Igor was covered in mud, snot and who knows what else. I didn't want Rose in contact with it, we don't know the germs that were in there."
The blunette chuckled. "So, there was nothing to do with him trying to kiss her."
"He is one and she's ten months old. There wouldn't be kissing." Gray felt annoyed. "Not now, not in thirty years and certainly not with Natsu's kid."
"Just so you know, Lucy-san and Juvia are arranging their marriage to when they turn around twenty."
"Well, I am leaving you and asking for full custody of her. It was nice while it lasted." Gray sighed regrettably and Juvia smacked him on the arm with a chuckle, followed by his own. He was about to add something else when they heard a soft cry coming from down the hall – it was the sound they knew she made whenever she was annoyed. "I'll go get her."
"Thanks."
Gray walked towards the room and once he arrived, he noticed Rose seated on the middle of the bed, still making enough sound her parents could hear her.
"Good morning, baby girl." Gray said sweetly and the moment she saw him, she let her pacifier fall from her mouth as she rewarded his father with a wide smile, showing her two bottom teeth and she squealed in happiness, raising her arms towards him, calling him 'Dada'. "Missed you too, Rose."
He picked her up from the bed and she threw her arms around him, hiding her face on the crook of his neck. Gray kissed the top of her head and started to walk towards the kitchen.
"Look who's up." He said once he saw his wife. Rose immediately stopped hiding her face and smiled to her mother.
"Good morning, darling." Juvia stepped closer to them and kissed Rose's cheek. "Let's get breakfast."

Half an hour later, Gray was doing the dishes while Juvia was finishing nursing the infant after Rose had taken half of her bottle (Juvia was a bit reluctant about stopping nursing altogether). He was done by the time Juvia was done and even changed Rose's diaper.
"Hey, Juvia, where's that deep blue coat I like?" He asked. "I looked for it in the closet but I couldn't find it."
The blunette winced, holding Rose up while the little girl tried to stand on her mother's thighs. "Sorry, Juvia put it to dry last night after she washed it, but it started raining… I forgot. It's still out there."
Gray sighed. "If I get it, could you dry it for me? It's my favorite."
"Once you like an outfit, you use it until it falls apart, don't you?" Juvia shook her head lightly. "Go get it and Juvia will take the water out of it for you."
"Thanks." He grinned and went to the back door. Thankfully it was summer rain so it wasn't too bad for him to run to where the clothes were hanging, take his coat and return back inside. Once he got in, he shook his hair a bit to let the water off and noticed Rose was laughing. "What are you laughing about, you little monster?"
Juvia smiled. "She watched you go out and just started laughing."
"Did you like that, Rose?" Gray asked, taking the infant from his wife and she took the coat from him. "Wanna go outside?" He pointed out and the girl raised her hands towards the rain. "What do you think, Juvia?" He asked the blunette. "It's not raining too heavily."
Juvia shrugged. "Her mother is a Water Mage." She said. "Maybe we were wrong when Juvia was pregnant and she made me feel cold. Maybe we can still make a Water Mage out of her."
"Keep dreaming." Gray snorted and then talked to their daughter. "What do you say, Rose? Wanna try to go out in the rain?" She kept her arms raised towards outside. "Alright then, let's go outside, but just for a bit, okay?"
With a look towards his wife, he stepped outside with Rose and he laughed when she started to giggle with the drops hitting her skin. A moment later, Gray ran back towards the house where Juvia was quietly laughing to herself.
"Did you like it?" Gray asked the now mildly wet child and she clapped her small hands, laughing, while her parents chuckled. "Wanna go back?" He asked and Rose put her arms back up, opening and closing her hands. "Okay, here we go…" He ran once again with her in his arms and just the time before, she laughed until he ran back inside. Rose shrieked in happiness, clearly wanting to return. "Apparently, she likes the rain."
"Of course she does." Juvia kissed the child's cheek. "She's her mama's baby; she likes water."
"Then come with us." Gray offered her his hand and Juvia took it, a smile on her lips when she took it and the three of them went outside. Rose was looking up and she giggled when Juvia tickled her.
"Having fun, baby?" The blunette asked and Gray chuckled when the infant raised her hands as if trying to catch the rain and opened her mouth. "I can see that you are."
"And as you can see, she's having fun and I am not overprotective because we are risking a flu out here."
"Well, she's her daddy's baby too, she also likes cold." Juvia smiled at her husband and tip toed to kiss him. "But, just to be safe, we should get inside and have a hot bath."
"Alright." Gray leaned and kissed her deeper until Rose became annoyed no one was paying attention to her and tried to separate their faces. The couple stopped kissing, and laughed. "Let's go inside, I think Rose is getting jealous."
"She's such a daddy's girl."
Gray just rolled his eyes and took Juvia's hand so the small family could get inside their home and, as often crossed his mind, he wondered how did he get so lucky.
