Jellal POV

Just like last time she didn't squeez my hand but instead decided to squeez the mattress. Her familiar screams ringed through the room. Watching her in pain was almost unbearable. Even though I knew she would be okay, I wanted to run out of the room, I wanted to close my hears because her screams would haunt me.

Then.. finally, it stopped. I heard another set of cries and smiled. It's over. She's finished. Not only that but, it seems like she's done it again. Create something beautiful and so, so precious.

'It was only with you that I managed that,' her voice spoke. I sighed.

"Should've known you were eavesdropping.." I smiled at her.

"Here you go.." said Porlyusica, handing Erza the precious bundle of unmade plans, before she left.

I looked down at our son. He had dark red hair and, once again, had my mark on his face with the exception that it was only the half under the eye.

I smiled brightly. I don't think I'll ever get used to the feeling of watching my children being brought into the world and watching them open their eyes for the first time.

"You did good, Erza. You did good." I whispered.

Erza looked at me and I met her gaze. She smiled then said, "Azu!"

"What?" I tilted my head.

"Your hair color is very close to Azure. So why don't we name him Azu?"

I smiled. "I geuss it's only fair since we named Titania after you."

She grinned from ear to ear before calling Aries in.

"Yes, majesty?" Aries said opening the door.

"Call Titania in."

"Of course!"

"Thanks."

A couple of seconds later Titania came running in. She hopped onto the bed next to her mother. She looked at Azu and reached out her tiny hand. I was a little nervous about her reaction so naturally I became pretty rigid.

Her little hand reach for her brother. Everything seems to have happened in slow motion. Her hand moved passed his head and she cradled his little body as she sat next her mother. I sighed with relief and moved to sit beside her.

"What's name?" She said looking at me.

"This is your little brother, Titania. His name is Azu." I spoke slowly but not that slow.

"Little bwothew?" She said. I nodded and smiled.

"Yay! Little bwothew, Azu! Little bwothew Azu!"

She yelled with excitement. I chuckled at her and sighed. "C'mon, Titania, let's go play. Mommy needs rest." I said.

She smiled and nodded. She hopped off the bed and took my hand. I looked back when we got to the door an saw Erza mouth a 'thank you' before she snuggled under the blankets with Azu and fell asleep rapidly.

The next day Erza came out of the infirmary. I accompanied her to Azu's room and she set him down on the play mat and we sat around him. His body was so small and undeveloped that he was struggling to move his limbs. I smiled at him and picked him up to sit on my lap.

"I can't believe it's been so long ever since we met." I said smiling at Azu.

"It feels like just yesterday when we had our first kiss." She smiled at me. "Not to mention when we had Titania."

The nastalgia was very pleasureable. The fact that we now had two little munchkins running around the castle and it all started with an alliance proposal.

I sighed remembering those sweet six months. "It was fun, wasn't it? Our story."

I scooted closer to her, with Azu still on my lap, and kissed her lovingly. "I geuss we can say bye to play time for another year." I smiled at her.

"At the very least we're not seperated." She sighed.

"I love you. I don't feel like I get to say that to you any more." I looked down at her.

"You say it almost every day." She smiled back at me. "I love you, too."

So we sat in silence in the room. Looking at Azu. Her head resting on my shoulder and mine resting on hers.

To be continued

I know the chapters are getting short but the story is close to well.. a close.
