The Fairies' Tales

Lumber and Babies - Gajevy (Gajeel/Levy)

Gajeel huffed as he chopped the lumber to put in their fireplace for the night, only stopping to wipe the sweat off of his brow. When he stopped, he put the axe down and looked yonder to the sunsetting sky. It was beautiful, he knew, but not more beautiful than the smell of his wife's cooking. Gajeel's stomach growled, and as soon as he finished cutting the wood into smaller pieces, he went inside.

"Gajeel!" Levy said, turning around with a dish in her hands. It was potroast tonight, and Gajeel grinned at the sight of the food–and his lovely wife. Her hair was pulled back by an orange headband as per the usual, and she wore a body-hugging apron that read "Iron" in large letters. She knew that he loved it when she wore clothes that spoke of him, and even more when those clothes wrapped around her tiny body in a sensual way.

"Heya, shrimp," he told her, dropping a kiss on her forehead and ruffling her hair with one hand, grasping the wood in the other. He walked over to the fireplace and placed a few pieces inside the crackling fire and stoked it and turned to his wife to grin at her.

Levy was now sitting on the couch, and she had a small bag for him to open.

"What's this, shorty?" he asked, and Levy only giggled and handed him the bag. With a confused look, he began to sift through the layers of wrapping paper. He opened the first little package inside and saw that it was a box of nails.

"Thanks," he told her with a grin, and he ripped open the box to toss them in his mouth.

"Gajeel, no!" Levy yelled, and with a grunt Gajeel pulled the nails out of his mouth.

"What did ya say that for? Iron is delicious!"

"You've gotta open the rest of it, moron," she told him, crossing her arms over her small chest.

Gajeel sighed and opened the next package: a hammer.

"Are you trying to give me more metal to eat? It doesn't matter that the wood's there, I'll eat it anyway!" Gajeel laughed, and Levy sighed at the sound.

Finally, he unwrapped the final gift. A small, plastic object with two soft pink lines on the little screen.

"Levy, what the hell...?" Gajeel wondered, and then his eyes widened.

It was a pregnancy test, and two pink lines meant pregnant.

Levy was pregnant. He was going to be a father.

Gajeel Redfox, the man who almost killed his future wife years ago, was going to be pregnant with his tiny, beautiful wife's child.

A single tear trickled down Gajeel's eye, and he instantly wiped it away with a grin.

In an instant, Gajeel swept Levy up in his arms and laughed uproariously. They were finally going to have children after months and months of trying! Levy giggled and kissed her husband on the lips, and the kiss deepened through their smiles.

When they broke apart, Gajeel set Levy back down and smiled at her.

"You better eat, Lev. You're eatin' for two now!"

"Actually, more like three," Levy looked down.

"What?!" Gajeel's eyes widened even more, and Levy explained.

"I went to the doctor earlier today and it looks like we're going to have twins. I don't know the sex of them yet, but the doctor said they're going to be healthy," Levy stammered, and Gajeel laughed and kissed his wife one more time.

Soon, they would be a happy, loving family. And Gajeel was happy as could be, but still confused about one thing.

"Why did y ou give me the nails and the hammer?" Gajeel asked, and Levy smiled softly.

"I thought maybe you would like to make the cribs for them, Gajeel," she said, putting her hand on top of his.

"So...you like watching me work outside shirtless?" Gajeel snickered with a grin, and Levy kissed the tip of his nose.

"Yeah, I guess so," she said, and then the two began to eat.
