5 years later
The church bells were ringing on this beautiful, sunny day. Their sound was resonating all over the city, bringing the more curious near the sacred monument, eyes sighting the newlyweds. A blonde girl and a strange pink haired boy were running fast toward the exterior before the boy take the girl in his arms, bride style, and jump the stares. Their smiles seems contagious as everyone is following them outside chanting, clapping and celebrating.
- Yay! Congratulations for the newly weds!, said a bright, red haired woman.
- Congrats Luce and Natsu! I'm so so happy for you!, said a small bluenette, almost jumping of excitement.
- Ya finally made the move. Good job buddy, congrats a tall, long haired man.
- I'm super happy for both of you. But I still think Lucy deserves more than a stupid doofus like you!, adds mockingly a handsome, axe ad looking boy.
A bunch of people group up at the front of the building and take pictures of the whole gang. One of them ask if they can only take a picture of the family, to which everyone answer at the same time:
- We ARE a family!
The night of the wedding was already growling with music and people dancing all over the places. Everyone has already eaten and it was that time of the evening where adults have their own kind of fun.
Juvia, still dating Gray, was dancing with her boyfriend who, surprisingly, got some pretty rad moves. They were happy together, even if sometimes their strange characters were clashing and causing conflicts. But what's a couple without a skirmish once in a while, right? They are fiancées but didn't plan a wedding until a couple of years. They do not wait children but Juvia want to have some in a near future.
Erza finally found her boyfriend and now husband Jellal back, not long after the dramatics events. He was a bit weird but a good guy nonetheless. They were also on the dance floor with the others, Erza enjoying it way more than Jellal, but simply being with her satisfied him. He kinda enjoyed dancing. Kinda.
Lyon found a cute and younger girlfriend named Meredy and forgot all of his romantic feelings towards Juvia. They were still really close friends and had a fun time together along with Gray, who more or less made peace with his former rival. Even if there was still rivalry between the two. They just couldn't help it.
Lucy, who is the host of hers and Natsu wedding, was having the life she always dreamt of. They were perfect for each others; both silly, childish but really generous and caring. They were planning on having children soon after the wedding and Lucy was really excited. She wanted kids for as long as she can remember and couldn't wait for it. The simple thought of it was making her smile and fuzzy inside. Lucy and Natsu were dancing and seemed to have the time of their life surrounded by who they love.
And finally, Levy and Gajeel. Both sitting at a table, the man was watching out for his girlfriend in case she needed help. Gajeel was looking at her big belly and took Levy's hand. She looked at him with a smile.
- So, how's Rogue? Feeling well? If there's too much music we can go outside y'know.
- Haha you are adorable. But that's alright! He likes it. I can feel him dance! Right Rogue?
The girl looked at her belly and started rubbing it. She was pregnant for 7 months now and she could feel their little baby boy moves inside of her. It sure was uncomfortable sometimes, but seeing Gajeel speak to him and gives him kisses was totally worth it. They both were living together for 4 years now in a modest house and couldn't be more happy. The magazine was now on mobile devices, traditional ways not being what they used to be, but Levy didn't mind the typing over the piles of papers she once had. Gajeel had been promoted and was now head coordinator for the photoshoots. Levy was really proud of him, to pass from a criminal to a full time and honest worker... and that, all by his own. He truly was a role model and she was happy their child could look up to such a great man.
- Levy, come! Lucy's gonna throw the bouquet! You don't wanna miss it!
- Oh! Wait for me, I'm coming!
Juvia came to take Levy for the traditional throwing of the bouquet but as the bluenette wanted to get up, her friend immediately came to help her. She answered with a smile.
- I didn't need so much attention, but thank you!
- It's only normal. Juvia don't want anything to happens to baby Rogue!
Juvia take Levy's hand and as they head toward the main stage, Levy gives a flying kiss to Gajeel, whispering "be right back" with a wink. At this moment Lucy started talking.
- Are you ready ladies?!
All the girls cheered.
- Alright! So, just a quick reminder, the one lucky woman who can catch the bouquet is the next wed! So, if you're ready..., the blonde turn her back to the crowd. Go!
Lucy throw the bouquet and it's like it's floating. After what seemed like an eternity, he land directly in Levy's hand. Everyone look at her and when Lucy turn back to see who got it, she gives a huge smile to her best friend.
- Levy! Oh, I'm so happy for you!
- Thank you...
She turns in direction of Gajeel and shows him the bouquet. He was red all over the face as everyone was watching his reaction. Levy, as per usual, simply smiled at him with all her teeth, a soft pink blush on her cheeks. Gajeel couldn't hide his own little smirk just by looking at her watching him like that.
Anything that can makes you happy, shorty.
And 2 years later he asked her hand under the new tree they planted together; along with Rogue. A new sign of hope and rebirth who needed to be cherish and taken care of. Each nights - or as often as they could - Gajeel was watering the tree with his son as his own dad was doing with him a long time ago. This time, however, Gajeel swore he would never ever let Rogue alone and even less let him go the same way he did. He's gonna be a great model and the best father he can be.
As of Levy, she prepared their wedding along with a newly pregnant Lucy and an excited Juvia. And as they say...
They lived happily ever after.
