Gray woke up slowly and was glad when he saw the beautiful blue shade of his wife's hair and, as he had been doing every single day he had woken up next to her, he thanked whatever bigger force there was in the universe that took pity on him and made his life worth living.

If someone had told him ten years before how he would be happily married, he would think said person was crazy. Up until Juvia, he always thought he would either die alone or too young to have met someone he'd want to marry.

Thankfully, that wasn't the case: Gray never felt more alive and he was a happily married man.

Sighing and intending to sleep again, Gray snuggled closer so his chest touched her back and put his arm over her waist to her growing belly but he frowned when he felt Juvia hugging something. It was weird, they only had two pillows on the bed when they slept.

He groaned softly when he saw the big Gray-doll; the damn doll she sewn years before they got married. It was a doll version of himself, almost as big as Juvia. She confessed to him how she used to fall asleep hugging it before he manned up and they started to date.

Goddammit, he had banished that from their room when they were still dating and they'd spend their nights together. It annoyed the crap out of him how attached she was with that thing. She had the real deal now, she didn't need to have a doll version of Gray. She could very well hug him, he actually enjoyed some cuddling, as weird as it sounded.

His movements, or perhaps the way he was glaring, made Juvia stir in her sleep and open her eyes a moment later and Gray cursed himself for it; she really need to sleep.

Juvia blinked a few times and looked at Gray over her shoulder, feeling his gaze on her.

She smiled, warming up his heart, and said softly: "Good morning, Gray-sama."

"Good morning." Even a little irritated with the doll on their bed, he couldn't help it but to lean and give her a peck on the lips. Her smile widened even more, but Gray wouldn't let it distract him. "I thought we had a deal." Seeing her confusion, he looked pointedly at the doll. "No Gray or Juvia dolls in the bedroom."

"Oh, right." Juvia finally caught up and looked at him with her guilty deep blue eyes. "Juvia knows we had a deal, Gray-sama, but Juvia couldn't sleep because no position felt good to accommodate her belly."

Gray's hand immediately went to Juvia's stomach where their child was safely growing inside. For a second time in mere minutes, he stopped and thanked the universe one more time for his life.

The child hasn't even been born yet and it already made feel Gray dizzy with how much love he held for it and its mother.

"You should've told me you were uncomfortable." Gray reprimanded her, serious, he hated when she tried to spare him and

Juvia chuckled. "I am six months pregnant: I'm uncomfortable all the time."

Gray rolled his eyes playfully. "So your best plan was to smuggle the doll into our bedroom?"

"Maybe." She muttered. "Juvia was doing crazy turning around all night until she found a good position for her." Juvia told him. "Levy-san told Juvia how she slept better with some support, so Juvia tried. Since Gray-sama's doll is bigger than a pillow, Juvia assumed it would feel better and it did."

He knew her reasons had merit: he had seen her go through uncomfortable moments during the pregnancy and he had seen her move a dozen times during the night until she found a better position.

Gray really didn't like to see the doll get some cuddles while Gray was left to dry. Besides, if it made her less uncomfortable, he could bear it and keep it to a minimum.

"Alright, you can use it until we find a proper pillow." He granted her that.

"Thank you." She smiled and then chuckled. "You really are cute when you are jealous. Is this what you feel when it's Juvia who is jealous?"

Gray looked as very bit offended as he felt. "I am not jealous, I just don't know why you'd want the doll over the real deal, it made no sense." He paused. "And yes, this is how I feel."

Juvia sat on the bed with some difficulty while chuckling and she glanced at her husband. "Help Juvia up? Juvia really needs to go pee and getting up can be tricky."

"Of course." Gray nodded, got up and went to her side. After she was up, she kissed him and headed to the bathroom.

Gray's gaze returned to the doll. "The moment that baby comes out, you are out too." His mind finally caught up with what he was doing and he groaned. "Dammit. I'm really far gone if I'm jealous and talking to a doll." He muttered to himself. "Always knew she'd turn me crazy, so I guess it worked."

Shaking his head, Gray started to walk out of the bedroom, when he glanced over his shoulder he said: "Gonna cook breakfast." He raised an eyebrow; "Can you do that?" Gray groaned again. "Alright, yep, I have really lost my mind."

Damn doll.
