What Are You Waiting For? {Gajevy}{Fairy Tail}

How Long Will I Wait

Summary:

Maybe she should've told him sooner. Regret. Questions. Fear. Anger.

Levy is heartbroken. The love of her life is gone. He's dead. He died trying to slay a dragon, after the Fire Dragon Slayer disturbed it. "He didn't even know he had a child on the way." Levy would always tell her guildmates. "I just hope this child will get all the love she needs."

First Part: He's Gone...?

Gajeel looked at the dragon. It was faster than him and Natsu was getting back up. Lucy was passed out off to the side of the cave. He pulled out his scales and prepared for it to attack him. It looked him dead in the eyes and he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Gajeel coughed and looked down. His scales had formed around the claw of the dragon. It's that fast? he thought as he fell back, bleeding.

"Gajeel!" Natsu screamed.

Gajeel didn't know how fast the battle ended, all he knew was that it ended in Natsu and Lucy fleeing the cave with Pantherlily and Happy. Gajeel was breathing hard, fighting to stay alive.

Levy, I'm sorry.

Levy was reading her book when the door opened. She jumped up excitedly. She'd been waiting a month for Gajeel to come home and she had starting showing. She was ready to tell Gajeel that they were having a child.

But when the door opened, there was no Gajeel. There was only Pantherlily and Natsu. Levy's eyes widened when she saw the blood all over them. "N-Natsu?" she shook.

Natsu looked at Levy, and realized she was pregnant. "Levy, he's..." he trailed off. She already knew.

Levy fell to her knees, "H-he's gone...?" tears began falling from her eyes, staining her cheeks like freshly fallen rain. She put her hands on her small stomach, "I hadn't told him yet." she whispered.

Lily looked at Natsu, "I think she needs to be alone." he said. Natsu nodded and walked away. Lily walked inside and closed the door. He walked over to Levy who opened her arms and hugged him tightly.

"Lily, I don't know what to do!" she cried. She stood up and went to the bed room. She put Lily down and buried her face in Gajeel's pillows. After a month away, they still smelled like him.

Gajeel laid thinking of nothing but Levy. "I wish I could come home to you." he whispered. His breathing had slowed and he was scared. He didn't want to die because if he did, Levy would never get over it.

The dragon had gone into it's cave and went back to sleep about an hour before Gajeel stood up. He held his chest feeling week. "I-I..." he took two steps and fell over.

"Just finish me!" he screamed.

The dragon heard him and made its way over to him. "You are asking to die, human?" she asked.

"I'm suffering and I won't be able to make it home to my shrimp, so yes. I want to die."

"Love?" the dragon looked at him.

"Yes." he said. He closed his eye. The pain was worse with every breath.

"You're the Iron Dragon's son, aren't you?" she asked picking him up and taking him further into the cave. "We loved once."

She put him down and began taking care of him. "I understand love, so I will help you. I am sorry I did this to you."

Gajeel stared at the dragon as it helped him, and he passed out.

Levy woke up to knocking on the door. She had a headache, but she got up and answered it. Lily had decided to go stay with Lucy for the night. She opened the door and saw Jet. "I heard about Gajeel," he said looking down on the small mage. "I'm sorry." he noticed her small belly. "Levy are you...?"

She nodded and walked away from the door. "Come in or go home. Which ever you choose, please close the door." she rubbed her temples. She was out of tears to cry. Her eyes showed her heart break. They weren't as bright as they used to be.

Jet came inside and closed the door. "Is it his?"

Levy glared at her team mate, "Who else have I been with?!" she yelled at him. This made her head throb and she felt sick. She turned from him and went to walk to the bedroom.

"Well I can help you raise it if you want." he replied.

This angered Levy and she spun to face him, "Are you here to just hook up with me?! I only found out about him yesterday! Are you that selfish?! Did you really hate him that much?!" she threw her arm out and threw a solid script "Iron" at him. She froze realizing what she did. She always did that when she playfully fought with Gajeel...

She started crying again, "Just leave, Jet. Tell Droy I want to be alone."
