Morning Sickness. It's never easy, especially for the female carrying the fetus. And it's also hard on the male partner. Have you ever been around a pregnant Erza? She was scary before, but now - now's a whole other ball game. But the female still has the harder share of the deal. For the past nine months, she's been cranky and moody because she has a tiny human being inside of her. And it hurts at times. Then there's the side effects: morning sickness, weird cravings, mood swings, bloating, walking like a penguin, constantly going to the bathroom, needing help standing, having trouble sleeping, contractions, having to wear maternity clothing, and dealing with a HUGE belly.

Women hate the pregnancy process, but they love the reward afterwards. They also love the process leading to the baby. And so do the guys. The men might love it more than the women do.

"Shut up, Natsu! Can't you see I'm caring a baby inside of me? I don't need to deal with all of your nonsense!" Erza practically screamed across the guild. Natsu and Gray had gotten into, yet another, fight.

"W-What about Gray?" The Dragon Slayer asked cautiously, noting that Erza only shouted at him and not Gray.

"Are you talking back to me?" She spat, glaring at him.

"N-N-No ma'am!" Natsu answered and hurried off somewhere. Gray laughed softly, loving how he got off the hook. Or so he thought.

"GRAY!" Erza's voice boomed across the building.

"Y-Yes?" He answered, now scared.

"Go get me some ice cream! I want ice cream!" Erza demanded. "With strawberries on the side!" She added.

Gray trudged towards the doors, grumbling about how he couldn't wait for that baby to pop out. "GET MOVING!" Erza shouted, startling the Ice Mage. He quickly picked up his pace and left to go to the store.

When Gray returned, twenty minutes later, he was extremely cautious. He did not want to upset Erza in any way, shape, form, or fashion. He peaked his head into the guild and scanned the place. No one noticed him, thankfully. Erza was nowhere in sight which was a good thing.

"Gray-sama~"

Oh great! That's the last thing he needed. He slid through the doors and went in the opposite direction of the Water Mage's voice. As he walked, he looked left and right for any signs of the pregnant woman. "Gray-sama ~"

"Not now, Juvia. I-"

THUD!

The next thing the Ice Mage knew he was on the ground. With Juvia on top of him. "Gray-sama, Juvia is sorry." The Water Mage apologized, looking down at him. Yeah, yeah that's nice, but why is she still on me. She hasn't even moved yet! "It's not a problem just-"

"GRAY!"

Crap! Gray pushed Juvia aside and crawled in a hurriedly fashion into a corner of the guild. "Where's Gray?" Erza shouted, obviously pissed. She had been waiting for over twenty minutes for some ice cream. A pregnant Erza was not a patient Erza. Her eyes scanned the guild, passing terrified members until they landed on Juvia. She should know where he is. "Where's Gray?"

Juvia didn't know if she was suppose to rat Gray out or not. But by his actions, it looked like he wanted to be as far away from Erza as possible. "Uh, J-Juvia doesn't know where Gray-sama is at the moment." Juvia avoided Erza's stare. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead from those intense eyes. "Let me know if you see him." Erza states before wobbling away.

Gray let's out a huge sigh of relief. Geez, I thought I was a goner! "Thanks, Juvia." He grinned. Juvia smiled widely at him for the thanks. "You're welcome, Gray-sama!" She replied. Gray took the bag of ice cream and strawberries and handed it to Juvia. "Here. Give this to Erza." He whispered. Juvia took the bag, silently squealing about how her hand touch Gray's for a split second. "O-Ok." She nodded.

Gray proceeded in crawling, making his way towards the guild's backdoor. Once outside, he ran at full speed to his house. I should probably stay home for a few days. As he ran, he heard "GRAY!" Yeah, I should defiantly stay home!

"Gray was here?" Erza growled at the now frightened Water Mage. She nodded, but stayed silent. "And you lied to my face?" Erza glared. Juvia bit harshly at her lip, but nodded her head. Without saying a word, Erza rose to her feet. And that's when it happened. Water. All over the floor. Erza's water broke.

Erza felt it gush out and instantly her emotion turned from anger to needy. "Jellal!" She whined, holding her stomach with both hands. "C'mon, Erza. Let's get you to the infirmary . Jellal will meet us there." Mira said calmly, putting a hand on Erza's shoulder. "Where did Jellal go?" She whimpered.

After Mirajane got everything set up, she was ready to deliver this baby. However, Erza called for Jellal after each contraction. Everyone in the guild, except Erza, knew that Jellal went out with some guys to avoid Erza's wrath. Those guys being Cobra, Gajeel, Racer, and Natsu. It wasn't like he was abandoning his wife. Cana gave him an emergency help card in case Erza went into labor which she had activated once Erza's water broke.

"Erza, it's time. You need to push." Mira stated softly. "Where is Jellal?" She repeated. She grunted in pain and pushed as she was told. In that moment, Jellal bursted into the room and was quickly at Erza's side. Erza death-gripped his hand as she pushed, sweat covering her face and neck. After multiple screams and pushes, the sound of a baby crying filled the room. Mirajane handed the baby to Jellal who let go of Erza's hand. Mira looked down under the sheets at Erza and her eyes widened. She was going to clean her up, but she wasn't expecting this. "E-Erza, start pushing again." She stuttered.

Erza's head snapped up. She had just caught her breath! "Why?" She demanded to know. She pushed slightly to test it and felt immense pain similar to that of giving birth. But didn't she already pop one out? "Erza," Mira called, "you're having twins."
