Chapter 2- One Target, Two Thoughts

*******

It was late at night, the clock nearly striking twelve, only just a few tens to reach it.

In the Fernandes home, it was peaceful quiet. The crickets squeaked, following inside the windows throughout the big house. It was an ordinary modern house, because of the new generation in Fiore. Yet, just because it's calm inside, doesn't mean there's no problems upholding.

In the master bedroom, it was dark, the lights were off, just the windows open with the cool night breeze winding inside the room. Erza, who was lying down on the bed with wide worried eyes slowly put one of her arms up, feeling the air until the door cracked open.

Erza glanced at the door to see her husband come in the room smiling. Erza's frown disappeared, turning into a soft smile.

"Hey." she greeted, as she edged out to the other side to give Jellal some space to lay down when he gets on the bed. He hugged her, right when he was beside her, smelling her scarlet hair as she hugs him back.

"I know you're worrying about something. What's wrong?" Jellal suddenly questioned, sounding soft towards her as usual.

There was a long pause between Jellal's question. Erza wanted to talk about it, yet still leaning not to. She smelled his chest that she was resting her head on, which smells fresh and good. The fact that she hated keeping things to herself with Jellal, she decided to move her mouth.

"You heard what they wanted, right?" Erza ended up asking. She felt Jellal suddenly stopped breathing, as if he was frozen, but instantly nodded back, except slowly.

"So that's what you're worrying about," Jellal mumbled. His expression started to change, "I don't get why they want Jeraline. I don't want her to experience that at that age, like us."

He felt Erza's small breaths breathing on his chest. "If Jeraline's in the scene, Eric's bound to also get in. Both of them will be in serious danger... I definitely don't want that to happen."

Erza lifted her head up, her eyebrows a little narrowed with concern. "Both of them, both our children..." Erza said. "We have to protect them. We have to try our best."

She let her breath escape after. "Jeraline-chan and Eric-kun are still strong though. They're as strong as you, Jellal."

Jellal suddenly stopped, moved to look at her, having a slight smirk. "How about you, Erza? That cute bluehead and redhead both have your right thinking."

He watched his wife giggle, which always made him happy. He took her left hand, the one with her gold wedding ring on and held it with his right hand, where his gold wedding ring was on.

"Even so, these days don't take minds maturely."

He went a little down to Erza's face, leaning closer to her, while Erza's face began to fluster the moment she felt his breath.

"We will protect them, don't worry." Jellal whispered, beginning to close his eyes to kiss the beautiful scarlet.

She was calm, obviously not caring what he'll do, so she slowly closed her eyes, right when Jellal's lips touched hers once again over a centillion of times in the past.

It was only a normal kiss, as their lips parted from each other softly. They looked at each other, smiling normally, with a little hope inside them.

"I love you, Erza. Now that we have a Jeraline and Eric, I love you all. You're all my family." he remarked again, as he always says that.

Erza lifted her right arm, then her hand gently cupping the edge of his face. "I love you too, Jellal. Jeraline-chan and Eric-kun are also in my heart as well. I never want to leave any of you."
