Three years passed
"Ayoko, Kiyoshi, breakfast is ready!" Erza called up to her children from downstairs.
Ayoko was already sat up in her bed; she had been awake for over an hour talking…
The twin's bedroom remained more or less the same, the only difference was the new book corner where their play mat used to be and Ayoko's wall was now covered in famous wizards from all over the world, Lucy Heartfilia was her favourite wizard, she had everything from books that talked about her magic to glittery stickers she had collected from the weekly children's magazine for girls.
"Kiyoshi we have to get up now, mummy has called us for breakfast" she called out to her brother.
Kiyoshi lay on his side facing her; he still didn't sleep very well, he would lie awake looking up at the stars. Some night's Ayoko had found him singing to himself while looking up into the night sky.
Ayoko jumped from her bunk bed and walked over to her brother's single, double duvet bed.
"Kiyoshi" she whispered quietly in his ear.
The boy lay sleeping, his breathing calm and steady.
Ayoko slid her hand under his long blue hair; slowly she brushed it away from his eyes, before calling out to him again.
The light from the sun which was now shining into the room rested over his face, he let out a small grunt before brushing his hair back down.
"Mummy said breakfast is ready! So wake up" Ayoko yelled as she dived on to his huge duvet.
Kiyoshi slowly opened his eyes; before letting out a yawn and a big stretch.
Ayoko seized the chance at grabbing his foot that had come out the end of the duvet, she pinned his whole leg down before dancing her fingers over his bare feet. Kiyoshi kicked back with giggles.
"Come on you two" Jellal poked his head round the door.
Ayoko bounced over her brother before rushing past her dad.
"Race ya!" she yelled as she left the room.
Kiyoshi scrambled from under his duvet and ran straight into his father's arms; Jellal raised him up and placed him on his back, before Kiyoshi pointed towards the stairs.
Jellal raced down the hall before placing his son onto the banisters, Kiyoshi held tight, waiting for his father's words.
"Go!" Jellal laughed.
Kiyoshi let his grip go, his body slide down the smoothly finished wood, the boy laughed as his father raced down the stairs with him.
As he reached the end Jellal lifted the boy into his arms.
"Good morning" Erza turned and smiled from the cooker.
Kiyoshi smiled back in response, pulling away from his father's arms he rushed to his mum, giving her leg a hug before climbing onto his chair.
"I won!" Ayoko celebrated by smashing her knife against her plate.
Jellal gave Erza a small kiss on the cheek before taking his seat at the table.
"Who would like some eggs?" Erza called out as she brought them to the table.
"I want half a dozen!" Ayoko screamed out with her arms in the air.
"All to yourself?" Jellal questioned.
"Oh no some for Hera to" she pointed to her side.
"Of course, I almost forgot" Erza smiled as she plated some breakfast for the spare seat next to her child.
Erza had not questioned her daughter anymore on the person she was always talking to, her and Jellal had accepted that she had created an imaginary friend, though the doctors had said it was un-usual for a child with a sibling to have created one.
"How many would you like?" Erza asked her son who sat making small rainbows with the palm of his hand.
"He don't like eggs mum, he would like some porridge instead" Ayoko spoke as she dipped her toast in to her boiled egg.
"Ayoko please allow your brother to answer for himself" Erza warned.
"Sorry mum" Ayoko looked over to her brother with a look of concern.
"What would you like for breakfast?" Erza tried again.
"Hey!" Ayoko frowned as her dad dipped his spare toast into her egg.
"Daddy" she giggled.
"Kiyoshi what would you like for breakfast" Erza leant down to her little boy; she gently brushed his hair aside so she could see his small features.
The boy looked down.
"Answer you're mum please" Jellal looked over.
The little boy pointed towards the cupboard.
"What would you like from the cupboard? Erza tried again for an answer with words.
"Porridge please" he whispered so only Erza could hear.
"Mummy when is Lucy coming over again to see us, I want her to meet Hera" Ayoko wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.
"She's not in town at the minute sweetheart, she's on her honeymoon with Natsu remember"
"Oh, what's a honeymoon?"
Erza cheeks flushed red as she turned to Jellal to explain.
"It's a place for people who have just got married, like a holiday" Jellal smiled, pleased with his answer.
"Can children go on a honeymoon?"
"No, it's an adult holiday"
"Why can't children go daddy?"
"Uhm…" Jellal stuttered.
"There are all sorts of holidays Ayoko, some are for children and others are for when adults want to go away, together, alone" Erza smiled as she began to clear the breakfast dishes.
"So you and daddy will go on a honeymoon when you don't want to be around us anymore?"
Kiyoshi lifted his head to her words; milk drizzled down his chin as he waited their answer.
Jellal and Erza looked at one another, knowing they had never really taken the time to plan such an event, Jellal had never asked for her hand in marriage and she had never asked why, them being together was enough, they had their babies and each other.
"There will never be a time when we don't want you around" Erza brushed her hand through her daughters long purple hair.
"If I get bored of you and daddy can I go on a children's holiday?"
Jellal laughed at his daughters innocent words.
"Children don't go on holiday alone, they have parents with them" Erza tried to explain.
"But why is it called a children's holiday?" Ayoko questioned some more.
"Ha-ha because they have thing's for children to do" Jellal replied as he took his son's empty bowl away.
"So what happens on an adult holiday, a honeymoon?"
"Uhm….I think you should go brush your teeth and get dressed now, you too Kiyoshi" Erza rushed her children through the living room and back up the stairs.
Erza walked back into the kitchen once her children had reached the top of the hall, Jellal was leaned over the sink with his hands in hot water.
Erza stood and admired him, while he was unaware of her presents. The love she felt for him was so over whelming, he was everything she thought he would be for her and their babies, saying those three words to him daily felt like such little, like it didn't even show a small amount of how much she really loved him.
"You would fail at being a spy" Jellal turned towards her giving his side wards smile to her.
"I….I was just thinking that's all, I wasn't spying!" she pulled a face as she grabbed a towel for the wet dished.
"Liar!" he laughed as he launched a hand full of bubbles into her face.
Erza stood with water dripping from her face.
"Grow up" she rolled her eyes as she grabbed a cup full of cold water.
Jellal looked around for anything that could be used to guard him. There on the floor was Kiyoshi bear; he quickly leaned down to reach it.
Erza seized the opportunity, throwing the ice water onto his back, Jellal screamed as the water trickled down his back.
Erza laughed as he danced around the kitchen, Jellal turned to see her smile.
"That was cheating!
He pulled her towards her.
He slowly wrapped his arms around her body with the bear still in his hand; Erza placed her hands over his cheeks before pulling him in towards her. Jellal pressed his lips gently against hers, before she pulled away to look at him once more.
"I love you" she whispered as he placed his forehead onto hers.
A/N: Hello to all my readers!

I hope your all having a great start to your weekend! :)
I know not a lot has happened in this chapter; I just wanted to make sure the personalities of the two children came across clearly and the love between Jerza is still felt.
I promise the upcoming chapters will start to go more into magic and finally explain who the strange woman is!
Normally I post just one chapter on a Friday but if I get 20-25 reviews before next week (Friday 3rd May 2013) I will post two chapters for you all…! Let's see if we can do it :)
The prompt exchange story: Believe, was posted yesterday, if you get time please check it out and review. I have had a lot of you read it and it's made me so very happy ^.^ But cause no one has said anything about it…..I'm not sure if people enjoyed it, so if you think it's good or bad let me know, I'm really worrying about it! .
