Meeting the Twins
"So what do you think the genders are?" Lucy asked, bouncing Nashi in her lap. The two of them, Natsu, and Erza were sitting in the medical corridor at the guild hall. Juvia had gone into labor some time ago and was now giving birth to twins, and they were waiting outside.
"Who cares?" Natsu snapped. He was being pretty pissy at the moment, incredibly annoyed that Wendy and Porlyusica allowed Gray to be in the delivery room with Juvia, when he was practically forced to stay outside when Nashi was being born. Lucy rolled her eyes and slapped him across the shoulder. "Ow! What was that for?"
"For being an ass," she answered calmly. "I know you don't want to admit it, but Gray is your friend. And so is Juvia. Can't you be mature about something for once?" Natsu folded his arms across his chest and huffed stubbornly. Lucy sighed and turned to Nashi. "What do you think, Nashi? Boy or girl?"
"Boy!" Nashi said, bouncing up and down on her mother's lap. "Boy! Boy!" The blonde laughed. Whenever her daughter was given an option, she wouldn't choose the one she preferred. She would choose the one that was easier to say. Another resemblance to her father. She looked up at Erza.
"What about you, Erza?" The swordswoman lifted a hand to her chin as she thought.
"I'm really not sure," she replied slowly. "I suppose we're just going to have to wait and see." As if on cue, Porlyusica walked through the door, dismissed herself, and left. Wendy appeared a second later with Charle on her shoulder, identical wide smiles on their faces.
"Come in, you guys," said Charle as Wendy waved them inside. "They're adorable!" The group simultaneously stood from their seats and stepped through the door. Juvia sat in the bed at the far end of the room, cradling one of the children against her chest, while Gray held the other as he sat in a chair beside her. He caught sight of their nakama first, a grin on his face.
"Hey, guys," he greeted merrily, the child in his arms whining cutely. He nodded down to the newborn. "This is Amaya." He turned toward his wife. "And that's Avalon." Charle didn't exaggerate when she said that they were adorable. It was one hundred percent true. Both of them had deep blue eyes and black hair, and Amaya was wrapped in a thick blanket as she lay in Gray's arms. You could guess who the ice wizard was between the two.
"So you have one of each?" Erza inquired, a warm grin stretching across her lips. "Miss Amaya and Mister Avalon." Gray and Juvia exchanged glances and smiled, the ice alchemist leaning back in his chair as he gazed at his daughter's curious face.
"Lucy? Erza?" said Juvia, holding up their son and brushing his dark hair from his face. "Don't you think he looks like Gray? Juvia thinks so." Lucy handed Nashi to Natsu and stepped closer to the bed to get a better look at the young man.
"Hm…" she hummed, tilting her head to the side.
"Let's try this," said Erza, reaching around Gray's neck and unclipping his necklace. She approached the water wizard and hung the silver sword around Avalon's neck.
"And this." Lucy reached over and used her nails to comb the boy's hair, positioning it back in his face. The celestial wizard and the swordswoman shared a collective gasp. "Aw, he does! He does look like his father!"
"He's a spitting image," Erza added, glancing at Gray over her shoulder. He grinned and bumped fists with Natsu. The Fairy Tail family keeps getting bigger and bigger.
