Letters to You

Epilogue

Levy,

Hey, little bird. I hope you aren't too lonely at home without me, Gihi. Tell Kole and Nora that their daddy will be home soon, and that he misses them. Of course, I miss you every minute that I'm away, and I'll try to finish my job here so I can return to you. The thought of being gone for two more weeks, when I've already been gone for one now, makes the distance worse, but I know it will be worth it in the end. We'll be able to buy that big house you've had your eyes on, too.

I do have some interesting news, though! You'll never believe who I ran into at the train station last night-Juvia and Gray. They told me they had just arrived in America, and had been searching for us. It's pretty lucky I ran into them. I told them where we live, so they should be arriving within the week. Juvia is excited to finally get to meet you. She also said that Mira has been doing well, and that she sent a few books with her to give to you.

Speaking of books, I bought you a new one from the town I'm in now. It's an information book about birds, and on the cover is a small bluebird. I thought of you instantly and knew I had to buy it for you. It can be part of my present for you, since I won't be home to share our special day with you. I promise to make it up to you when I get home. We'll go to the bookstore, and I'll buy you anything you want before we go to the gardens this year.

Being away from you has made me realize just how lucky I am to have you, Kole, and Nora in my life. I can't imagine any man who is happier than me, nor one who is as grateful as I am, that I was lucky enough to earn a wife like you, Levy. Every day we spend together makes me love you a little more, and I know I could never deserve the love you give me in return.

I will be counting down the days until I may return to you. Until then, know I love you, Levy Redfox.

Happy anniversary, little bird.

Love,

Gajeel

Gajeel,

Hello my love, I miss you terribly. Nora wanted me to tell you she misses you too and that she has a new friend for Lily. She found a stray kitten and I told her she could keep it. She also said she wants a new book too, one just like the one you got me.

It's funny you should mention Juvia and Grey, because Lucy and Natsu just got into town this morning. Lucy wants to stay until you get home so she can meet you properly. They were looking at the house down the road, right across from the big one I adore. They have a son that Nora just adores, just turned two like Kole.

I can't wait for you to come home dearest, but I know you work hard to support the five of us. Yes, you read correctly. I'm pregnant Gajeel! I wanted to tell you when you got home, but I couldn't hold in my excitement anymore. So now you have to get me that big house! We will need the room. You may be gone, but our children bring me so much joy that time seems to fly. It feels like only yesterday we were bringing Nora home for the first time, but that was five whole years ago. It's amazing isn't it? Who knew that one letter started this love, and this wonderful life we share. I still read them you know, those letters. When I feel lonely I pull them out and read them, and my love for you grows. I count the days until I am in your arms again. I love you Gajeel, now and forever.

Levy
