Juvia's POV:

My eyes grew bigger and bigger at the adorable sight before us. I rushed towards him, picking him up and cuddling him.

"Baby!" I squealed. "So kawaii!"
Gray-sama came and stood next to me, as Baby giggled in delight.
"Juvia, let me see the letter in his hands."

Gray-sama gently took the paper from Baby's little fingers. He read the letter.
"What does it say?" I asked him, finally calming down from Baby's cuteness.
Gray-sama read it out loud:

Dear Gray and Juvia Fullbuster,

As you already know, there is a baby on your doorstep. His name is Storm, and he is 3. Please look after him well, and teach him your magic. In 10 years today, I will return for him, and you will give him back. Thanks.

Sweat was forming on our foreheads. Today was the 26th of May. In 10 years... Gray-sama coughed.

"So we have to look after him?" He whispered.
"Y-Yes. We have to look after Storm."

Gray's POV:

We came inside, with Storm in Juvia's hands.
"What do we do with him?" I asked my wife.
Juvia scratched her head.

"I think- Aaargh!"
Suddenly, Juvia started to scream.
"What? What is it?!" I said, getting into fighting stance.
"Look at Storm!"
I blinked at the child. Aaargh! Storm had stripped!
"Aaargh!" Juvia and I screamed.
"How did he pick up your habits so fast?" Juvia gasped.

Meanwhile, Storm just clapped his hands in delight.
"Mommy, Daddy! Funny!" He giggled.
"MOMMY! DADDY!" I screamed. "KID, WE'VE ONLY KNOWN YOU FOR 5 MIN-"

"Shh, Gray-sama!" Juvia scolded. "Storm is being cute. Let him be."
I sighed.
"Ok, Ok. Now, what shall we do with him?"
"Juvia thinks that we should take Storm to the guild. Maybe Mira or somebody will know what to do." Juvia said.
"Alright." I replied simply.

Juvia picked up the toddler, put his clothes back on, and then gave him to me. I felt pretty uncomfortable, holding a child that I barely knew.

But little Storm just yawned and curled up against my chest. I smiled, knowing that it was going to be a long day.
