Four months had passed since that night and Gajeel slept over everyday so far.
"You don't have to sleep over, if my water breaks and I go into labor you know I'll call." I said with a smile on my face as I caressed his face.
He smiled and took my hand," I know, but I want to be there when it happens, not get a call from your mom then spend hours in traffic" he said with a chuckle.
I shook my head and got under the covers with Gajeel. He rubbed my stomach until we both fell asleep. This was the pattern every day until February 6.
When that date rolled around I was super busy. I was hanging out with all our friends when I felt my cold water on my chair. I stood up and gasped.
"Levy what's wrong?" Lucy asked worried.
I opened my mouth to speak," Levy' s water broke" Juvia yelled.
Everyone stood up immediately we quickly got to our cars. When we got to the hospital a nurse took me to the delivery room and helped me undress and get into the hospital gown. Gajeel came in a few minutes later dressed like a doctor with the mask, hat, and uniform.
He took my hand and rubbed my back as the doctor told me to push.
"Come on, Levy. You can do this." Gajeel kept saying.
I screamed and squeezed his hand as I pushed as hard as I could.
"I can see its head" the doctor said.
"You're almost done, Come on Levy, just a little longer." Gajeel said as he kissed my head.
After fourteen hours of labor our daughter was born. They cleaned her off and handed her to me. I smiled and cried as I looked down at our beautiful baby.
Gajeel ran out and got the others. They came in, the girls surrounded me while the boys gave Gajeel the support he needed.
A nurse came in and asked What her name was. I looked at Gajeel, he looked at the baby," Melody, her name is Melody." He said happily as he rubbed her head gently.
"That's beautiful" She said before taking her. She put her in the nursery then told everyone to leave so I could get some rest.
A few years later Gajeel and I graduated high school and college and were now raising a family.
Melody is now five and has a two year old baby brother named, Rogue.
Throughout all this, we've learned that love comes when you expect it less, that it comes softly without a chance for you to notice until it's too late.
