Gruvia week has come my Gruvia fanatics ^_^ so here's day one's prompt. Excuse the title, I was having a hard time coming up with one.
Enjoy!
April Fools...?
Juvia stared down at the medical paper she had in her hand. Mixed feelings were all over the place. She was joyful about the news she had gotten, but then there were the bad feelings on how she was going to tell Gray. They have been dating for a year and a half now ever since Fairy Tail got back together. Gray was on his way back from a solo mission today, and he had been gone for a week. A week where Juvia noticed strange things happening to her body. She had begun to feel nauseous at the smell of fried food and any kind of alcohol. She began cramping, even though she wasn't on her period. Which hadn't arrived in over a month. Then the one symptom that made her go to the doctor. Morning sickness.
Juvia had gotten dressed in some shorts and a plain shirt heading towards the doctor. She took both a urination and blood test to make sure she wasn't dreaming or imagining things. The medical papers stated positive for pregnancy. Almost two months to be exact. Juvia smiled down at the results, a stray tear slid down her cheek landing onto the paper. Her emotions were clearly wack at the moment. She had to tell someone to release a bit of them. So she headed back to her apartment at Fairy Hills to prepare to call her girlfriends. They would help her out and relieve some of her emotions until Gray returned.
When Juvia called Lucy and Levy to come to her apartment through her lacrima, they arrived sooner than she had thought. Juvia had told them the news and both girls squealed in happiness congratulating their friend. Juvia grinned with happiness for the moment as she began to forget her uneasy emotions.
"So how far along are you Juvia?" Levy asked as she finally sat down on Juvia's couch.
"Juvia is about to be two months in a week." She placed her hand on her tummy rubbing her thumb against it.
"I think you have to be around three to four months to find out the baby's gender right?" Lucy asked as she smiled towards Juvia.
"Yes, the doctor said to check back with him in a month for Juvia's monthly check up." Juvia nodded as she spoke to her two closest friends. They continued talking about the present and the future for Juvia's baby. Everything was going really well until Lucy questioned Juvia how she was going to tell Gray when he got back in the afternoon.
"Juvia doesn't know." She looked down at her hands and felt tears burn her eyes.
"I'm sure he'll take it well Juvia, he has too." Levy assured her. They've been dating for a while now. Both loved each other very much and Gray was head over heels towards Juvia once he had accepted his feelings long ago.
"Do you think so Levy-san? D-Don't you think Gray-sama is going to think it's a prank since today is April first?" Juvia quietly sobbed. Both Lucy and Levy hugged their friend trying to comfort her as much as they could. If Gray were to think it's a joke then he would be facing the wrath of both of them.
"It'll be alright Juvia, Gray will understand. I'm sure of it." Lucy stated as she rubbed Juvia's shoulders.
Both girls stayed a little longer and soon left Juvia alone in her apartment. Well, Juvia and the baby.
Juvia began to plan how to tell Gray she was pregnant. There were many ways, but each could give off two different reactions. Juvia feared what Gray would think when she would announce her pregnancy to him. Would he be happy? Mad? Confused? Would he think it was a joke? No, Juvia could do this, she could tell Gray she was pregnant and not have to worry about it. Yeah, she just needed to be very optimistic about it. Everything would go smoothly, hopefully. She just needed to go out for a walk and think things through. She would plan a perfect way to tell Gray the news.
Gray had arrived in Magnolia sooner than he thought he was. He guessed that the train took no stops and just went straight ahead from the previous destination he was in. He was a bit tired and sore from the mission but nothing too much. He quickly arrived at the guild to check in with Mira or Makarov to show them he was still alive from the mission. Which really wasn't too hard find the thief, return what he stole, get reward. Pretty simple.
Once Gray checked in, he quickly scanned the guild to see if his girlfriend was there. Which he frowned at when he didn't see her wavy blue hair. Maybe she was at her dorm. Considering his though Gray walked out of the guild in search of his girlfriend. He was gone for a week, he had his needs to be fulfilled, and he had missed his Juvia very badly. Her cooking, her smile, her laughter, her lips, her body, her unconditional love, just her in general. Everything about Juvia was just perfect for him, whether she was dressed in the most beautiful dress, or when she woke up with a bit of drool drooling from the corner of her mouth and her hair in a mess. Juvia was perfect.
Gray had saved enough money to get Juvia something special, something he knew damn well she would never refuse. He just needed to brain storm part of the gift in his mind. Since he could make part of it and just buy what he needed. Which would be put off for another day since he really wanted to see his girlfriend already.
As Gray walked down Magnolia's streets, he noticed the sky was getting cloudy. Could it be Juvia? A flash of blue caught his eye making him turn to its direction. Juvia was at a local park, sitting on bench looking down with a sad expression on her face. Why would she be sad? Juvia was always bubbly and happy. It made her, her.
"Hey Juvia," Gray said as he quickly sat down next to his girlfriend. Juvia looked up when she heard her boyfriend's voice greet her.
"Gray-sama you're back!" Juvia wrapped her arms around him leaving a chaste kiss on his lips.
"A little early but here babe," Gray winked down at her as she rested her head against his shoulder. "I missed you very much by the way." Gray wrapped an arm around her rubbing his hand up and down her arm.
"Juvia missed Gray-sama too." Juvia nuzzled his shoulder for a moment until she remembered the news she had to tell him. Her uneasy feelings were quickly coming back and all her optimistic ideas flew out the window. Her smile turned back to a sad frown and she looked back down avoiding Gray's gaze.
"Hey is sometime wrong?" Gray crooked his head down trying to catch Juvia's eyesight. "Babe? Are you okay?" Gray tilted her chin up with his finger meeting her teary eyes.
"Juvia baby what's wrong?" Juvia's bottom lip began to tremble, in a way Gray thought was really cute, but he was pretty worried about what was making his girlfriend sad.
"Juvia doesn't want to talk about it here Gray-sama," Juvia quickly wiped away a tear in attempt of composing herself. Gray's reaction was killing her. What would he think? Would he leave? Would he hurt her? Would he accuse her of cheating?
"If we go to my apartment will you tell me what's wrong?" Juvia nodded in response sniffling and the young couple left for Gray's apartment.
The walk their was silent with some raindrops falling here and there as well as a few sniffs from Juvia here and there. Gray wanted to know immediately what was wrong but knew to be patient until they had some privacy. Once they arrived at his apartment, Gray sat Juvia down on his couch kissing her forehead as he did so.
"Can you tell me what's wrong now Juvia?" Gray stared at her his heart quickly beating. What did she have to tell him that was so bad she was crying?
"Juvia d-doesn't want to p-push this onto G-Gray-sama," Juvia sobbed, her emotions were quickly taking over. Her tears were running down and it began to rain outside. Gray paled at the sudden change of weather. The rain has hard and fast hitting hard against his windows.
"Juvia you need you tell me what's wrong babe! I need to know what's wrong, I hate seeing you like this." Gray took her into his arms hoping to calm her down but it was to no avail. Juvia gently pulled away and sighed.
"Juvia loves Gray-sama very much, she is v-very s-s-sorry for this." Juvia wiped as many tears as she could with the back of her hands. Gray was preparing for the worst, he was for sure Juvia was breaking up with him. Which he would deny over and over again. They can't break up! They're Gray and Juvia! Gruvia, as what Lucy called it. They were rain and ice! They were meant to be no matter what! If Juvia left Gray, he was sure he would never heal from it.
"Baby tell me what's wrong!" Gray shook Juvia's shoulders desperate of what was happening.
"J-Juvia's pregnant!" There she said it, loud and clear. The rain still poured harshly, her sobs were quiet but filled with emotion. Juvia had her face covered and Gray was wide eyed. Today was April first, or April Fools. She must be joking right? Then again she was crying and her rain was pouring. Juvia wouldn't be able to trigger this much rain without any emotional pain, whether it be sadness or anger.
Gray let the words sink in, he quickly glanced at Juvia's tummy letting the thought of a human being growing insider her flow through his mind. Juvia was pregnant. She was going to become a mom. Gray was her boyfriend, he was going to have a baby. So he was also pregnant, not physically. So, they were pregnant. The two were going to have a baby to call their own. A family.
Gray's eyes watered up and pulled his sobbing girlfriend towards him. He held a tight grip around her, kissing her temple, and rubbing his hand against her back.
"Juvia, t-that's great!" Gray's tears began to fall silently as he let the whole situation sink in. He was going to be a father. Oh how he wished his parents and Ur were here to see him.
Juvia gasped and quickly looked up at her boyfriend. Tears were running down his face, they weren't from sadness or anger, but of joy.
"G-Gray-sama isn't angry at Juvia?" She questioned as her sobs quickly stopped.
"Why would I be? I love you very much Juvia. You being pregnant is amazing." Gray was silent for a second with a frown soon taking over. "Unless it's an April Fools joke, then that's just fucked up." Juvia giggled and shook her head.
"Juvia swears it isn't. She went to the doctor today and she tested positive. Juvia will be two months soon." Gray grinned at the confirmed news. He was going to be a young father, they were going to be young parents. He was barely twenty-two, and Juvia would be turning twenty-one soon. He was going to propose to her on her birthday in a month. But he might need to consider a different date. He didn't want to propose to her while pregnant and make her think he was just marrying her because she was having his baby.
"I believe you my love. Just as long as it isn't a prank." Gray kissed her with a smile on his face.
"It's not a prank, Juvia's pregnant and we'll be able to find out its gender in a month or so." Juvia assured her boyfriend one more time.
"Alright, so you being pregnant means a lot of things you know." Gray began to slide his hands up and down Juvia's curvy sides.
"That Juvia will be getting big, messy, and Gray-sama won't like her anymore." Juvia pouted, she was always conscious about her body since she's always seen herself as big.
"What!? No!" Gray flicked her forehead scolding Juvia. How dare she say that! Juvia rubbed her forehead hoping to rub away the pain. "I will always love you Juvia, no matter what. I'll be here for you throughout your pregnancy. Plus I wasn't even talking about your appearance! You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen and there is no one like you." Juvia flushed from her boyfriend's compliments. She always needed his words to comfort her and to feel confident.
"Than what was Gray-sama talking about?" Juvia tilted her head in curiosity. A sly grin appeared on Gray's face as he crashed his lips against hers.
"The love making!" Gray managed to say in between kisses. Juvia squeaked as Gray pushed her down onto the couch and began to ravish her body.
So I wrote this at last minute because, I wasn't prepared for Gruvia week, cause I didn't know when it was...
