Lyon stayed for three more days, and Gray had the most hilarious photograph of him wearing one of Meredy's princess tiaras and sitting on the small coffe table, surrounded by stuffed animals and having a tea party with the young girl. Lyon had become red when he saw the picture but Gray kept it on his phone; after all, seeing his older brother doing that with a five-year-old was just priceless.

After reasure Meredy that he would be back soon, Lyon left to build his new life knowing full well that his brother was there if he needed anything at all since, as Lyon himself said, Gray and Meredy were his only family left and Gray wouldn't take it for granted.

Juvia was spending her time between his house and he hospital during the next week, as their friend Levy had given birth to a little boy a few days before and as Gajeel was her best friend, Juvia didn't want to leave him alone there, after all Levy had a c–section and would stay a few days at the hospital alongside with the baby.

Gray was surprised when the couple announced they were together and much more surprised when, three months later, told them that they were expecting. It had been a complete accident but after sometime, Gajeel dealt with it better than anyone thought he would and was very proud of turning into a father and was very protective of his newborn son.

Well, if Gray could have guardianship of a five-year-old, Gajeel could become a father. The world had seen stranger things.

One of the days Juvia was staying at the Hospital, Gray told Meredy Juvia was not coming, Meredy crossed her arms over her chest and sulked – after all she was used with Juvia visiting them all the time and playing with her.

Knowing she would stay that way for awhile, Gray decided to entertain her.

"Come here, kid." Gray called from the living room and the girl appeared holding her doll after a few moments, still pouting. "If you stay pouting too long, your face will be stuck like that forever."

She hesitated. "It won't."

"If you are certain..." Gray shrugged, but saw her frown disappear and he smirked. "I've seen what you watch on tv and the movies are fun, I admit, but what's on TV is just awful, so, you and I gonna watch the best kid movie of all times."

Meredy sat on the couch, curious. "What movie?"

"My favorite movie when I was a kid, a little older than you are." Gray was fulmbling with the DVD player and once he was satisfied, he grabbed the remote and popcors that was on the coffee table and sat by his niece's side. "It's called The Lion King."

"I don't like lions." She whispered, but didn't move away. "They are bad."

Gray chuckled. "You watch a movie with dragons, but lions are bad?" He started the movie and soon, when the music started and the many animals from the savannah started to appear, Meredy was enchanted. He sang the musics alongside with the movie and Meredy thought it was the most entertaining thing in the world, because she giggled away.

And once it was over, Meredy was in deep thought and Gray thought it was strange and waited until she said something.

"Gray?" The girl asked after a little while.
