AN: Hello, dear! I'm fine, thank you! And yes, you can send me requests, but sometimes the muse doesn't get inspired, sadly. Sometimes she does, though, like now. Thanks for the prompt and I hope you enjoy what I wrote.

Gray kicked himself internally while he wandered over Magnolia trying to find his wife. He shouldn't have let her walk away on her own, she was so upset and told him she needed some time and to be honest, he did too, after the news they had that day.

It was still a bit fuzzy inside his head, the doctor's talk about intrauterine adhesions and trauma confused him. He knew their profession was dangerous but he never thought there would be such consequences.

Earlier that day they went to see a doctor; after two years of marriage they decided to try and have a child. To make sure everything was alright, they got the appointment, which turned into a nightmare not too long after. Apparently, Juvia couldn't carry a baby because of adhesions in her uterus caused by some trauma during their jobs.

Gray couldn't remember the last time he saw her so shaken up – Juvia had always been energetic, positive and downright happy most of the times, so happy she usually managed to bring Gray back from any downs.

If he were true to himself, Gray never thought he'd get married and have kids while growing up. It was such a foreign thought for him that he grew used of being on his own when he wasn't with his friends. Juvia changed that: she changed everything.

Juvia made him happy, happier than he ever thought it was possible and it was enough for him. He didn't need anything else, but she did. Her heart was so big, she had so much love inside her she just needed to shower someone else with it so, she talked to him about trying for a child.

He knew he'd love their children as much as he loved her and after a few weeks wondering if he'd make a good father, he finally told her they could try. Oh, she had been so happy. Absolutely glowing until they found out the reality of their plans.

"Come on, Juvia." He whispered, trying to find her and walking towards the park – he had gone to Fairy Tail but she wasn't there so he tried another places she enjoyed going.

Finally, by the kid's playground, Gray spotted the lovely blue shade of her hair. She was seated on one of the benches, watching the children and their parents as they played.

Sighing, Gray stepped closer to the bench and even though he was certain she sensed him getting closer – she always knew when he was around – she didn't look away from the children. Gray sat next to her, rested his elbows on his thighs and looked at her.

Juvia had clearly been crying for some time and it broke his heart, he always hated her tears. He reached for one of her hands and squeezed it, Gray saw her lower lip tremble.

"Juvia always wanted to be a mother." She whispered, fresh tears falling. "Since she can remember, she always wanted to have a big family, she grew up alone and didn't want that for her children." She sobbed. "I guess I don't have to worry about that now."

Gray pulled her into his arms as she cried and felt his own throat close up, feeling some loss as well. He kissed the top of her head and caressed her back, holding her close and trying to help in any way he could.
