(Twins are eleven)

Erza slowly pulled the sheet over her son's tiny sleeping body, she smiled down at him, brushing his blue strands to the side before leaning down and gently kissing his cheek. Jellal climbed down from his daughter's bunk bed and joined his love in the centre of the room, the two held hands as they watched their babies sleep.

"Goodnight" Erza whispered as Jellal slowly led her out of the room

"Are you alright?" the blue haired father asked, seeing his love looking a little worried

Erza nodded lightly, her hold on his hand tight

"Are you sure?" he asked, not convinced she was telling him the truth

"I want to pull them both out of the magic games, I can't Jellal, I can't see our babies fighting in such a place" Erza's bottom lip began to tremble, her dark brown eyes filled with salty, warm tears

"You know we can't do that Erza, they would never forgive us"

"But...but they're not ready" she choked

Jellal pulled the scarlet beauty into his arms, resting her head on his strong, broad chest. There she sobbed while he lay his cheek on the top of her head.

"We've done all we can for them Erza, we need to let go just a little bit more and allow them to grow up"

"I don't want to, I don't want to"

"I know you don't"

Erza gripped onto the bluenette's dark, baggy shirt, she buried her head down as she thought of her babies using their magic against other wizards. She knew how dangerous such games could be and so to did Jellal.

So why wasn't he supporting her? Why wasn't he as worried as she was?

"Jellal…" she mumbled quietly

"Yes?" he replied, his voice soft

"Are you not scared? Do you not feel afraid for them? she asked, her sobs coming to a silent pause

Jellal exhaled lightly, his arms remained around the mother. The blue haired father had never voiced his fears, he held back his worrying thoughts whenever the two parents had come to a difficult, emotional situation, but now he needed to tell her, she needed to know how he felt.

"I'm….terrified" he admitted, causing Erza to look up "I am so scared for them" he bit his bottom lip

"I'm scared for them to"

"But…but we knew from the start they would want to be wizards, magic is in the both of us so it was always going to be apart of them"

Erza nodded her head lightly, recalling the moments when the twins were babies and how they had shown small signs of magic being within them.

"See, we can't stop what is meant to be, we can't change the paths they are meant to follow because we are afraid"

"I just don't want them to get hurt"

"Me either but each battle will make them stronger we both know that"

The scarlet haired mother nodded her head and wiped her eyes dry, she exhaled deeply before reaching up and placing her arms around Jellal's neck.

"I'm so happy I have you" she smiled and lightly placed a kiss upon his lips which he happily returned

Both parents slowly made their way to bed, settling down into the thin, cool sheets before snuggling close together.

"I love you" Jellal whispered into Erza's ear

"I love you to" she mumbled back softly

Both parent's had sacrificed their statuses as famous wizards for the sake of their children. Erza had decided early on that she didn't want to take jobs from the guild's request bored, afraid one day she might get injured and be unable to look after her babies.

Jellal had felt the same and so he too decided to step down from begin a wizard, worried he might make strong, powerful enemies that would try and use his children as bait. Risking the twin's lives for high paying rewards was something neither parent wanted to do. In the end their fame could never amount to what they had now, a family of their own.
