My Mate, Not Yours

Chapter 10

Gajeel stayed quiet as he sat in his usual spit within Fairy Tail guild hall. Natsu, Gray, Laxus, Makarov and even Sting and Rogue were sitting around him. None of them said nothing, they all knew that if they said anything all they would get in return would be a glare and a growl. It had been two months since the incident with George, who thankfully was finally through with. Although, not everything happened with ease.

"Gajeel!" Lucy shouted from the second floor railing, and the shout caused the man to shoot to his feet and practically fly up the steps and follow her.

"Lets hope that everything is fine." Gray muttered, his gaze going to the steps as most of the girls came down in an exhausted manner. Most of the men got up and met with them, trying to figure out what all had happened, but was getting nothing out of them. Giving a sigh, they all sat down and waited for any news about Levy and her condition, knowing that any news would be from Gajeel.

"How is she, Bunny Girl?" Gajeel asked, following Lucy as she lead him to the medical room, and blinked when she merely gave him a small smile over her shoulder. Not saying a word, she merely stopped and opened the door, and then closed it behind him before walking away.

Gajeel looked at his mate, laying down on the bed, pale and sweat dotting her brows. Moving slowly, he approached, fear clenching at his chest, and stealing away his ability to say anything. Once he was seated beside the bed, he tensed as she turned to him with a tired smile.

"Look, Gajeel." She whispered, motioning to the two small bundles that were resting in a crib beside her bed. He went wide-eyed, stood, and half stumbled over to the crib and looked at the two bundles.

"You know. You could have told me that Dragon Slayer mates tend to give natural birth a few months before normal due date." She stated, causing him to look over at her with a confused look, then back to the two small babies that were swaddled beside one another.

"They're...They're healthy?" He asked, watching as she nodded.

"Yes. completely healthy, and waiting for their names." Levy stated, causing him to lean over the crib slightly to look at them closer. One was wrapped in a pink blanket, and the other in a blue. They had twins! He had twins!

"I was thinking about Meme, for our daughter." She stated, and he nodded before looking to their son.

"Silver." He whispered, looking over to Levy to see her smiling and gave a faint nod.

"Perfect." She whispered, he eased onto the bed, leaned down and pressed a chaste kiss to her lips.

"Here it was, we nearly lost one another, twice, and now we have two beautiful twins. How is it that I deserve this?" He asked, looking down at her as she smiled and wrapped her arms around him.

"Because, you deserve happiness Gajeel. Now, go tell the rest of the guild before all the other guys start to worry too much." She stated, he smiled and looked back over to the crib. Standing, he carefully lifted them both into his arms, gave her one last smile, and headed out the door. He was going to show everyone that they had two new family members, and then return to his mate side.

After he had killed George, and that bright light surrounded the area, he thought he had been too late to save her. It turned out instead, that the light had merely been Levy breaking the ruins at the last second, the light merely an aftershock for a scare. It had worked though, because Levy had fainted and Gajeel had quickly rushed to her. George was dead, was no longer a threat, but he could sense that something was still wrong with Levy.

They had rushed back to the group, and then moved even quicker to get to a doctor. Then after hours of waiting and communicating with his guild on everything that had happened, the doctor had stated that she was fine to take home. Although, she would be on bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy, and that there would probably be a high chance that something could still go wrong with childbirth.

Looking down at the two bundles in his arms, he smiled. Thankful that everything had gone fine, and he still had his mate, and two children in his life. Sure, the guild was his family, but this right here. This was his true family, and he wasn't going to allow anything to harm their future.
