Chapter 2: new comers

Up and early in Magnolia, Amber and Wendy had just found their way to the guild hall in the sky. "At least it stays within the range of Magnolia" Amber said as she flew with her Astrodactyl armor while carried Wendy, "it's easier to spot".

"You know Carla could've carried me" Wendy said, "ridiculous! Carla wouldn't be able to make it here fast, and besides she's fast asleep. Don't want to disturb her" Amber said.

"And If anything think of it as an act of sisterly love" she added, Wendy blushed a little "o-okay... sis" She stuttered. Finally they reached the Guild hall, "hey everyone" the armor girl greeted.

"Hey there Wendy, Amber, where are Ben and Erza?" Kevin asked, "oh mom and dad are staying home today" Amber said. "Oh really, what's up?" Gwen asked, "Well... uh mom isn't feeling good so dad is taking care of her" Wendy answered.

"I'm just glad we have us these jet packs to get up here" Macao commented. "Yeah, the flights a little long but well worth it" Wakaba said, "hello you two, think your dad would want a smoothie?" Kinana asked holding two of them.

"No doubt both mom and dad would, but would you mind giving us a couple we're really thirsty" Amber said. Just then they heard screaming, looking back they saw Bethany soaring through the sky with XLR8 legs and his tail with Carla hanging onto her.

"CLEAR THE WAY!!!!" She yelled, Carla on the other hand screamed "GET ME OFF OF THIS CRAZY RIDE!!!!"

Both Amber and Wendy rolled away to let the two through, and unfortunately they crashed right into Natsu. "Glad to see that lacrima is keeping Natsu from blowing chunks up here" Amber said in relief.

"Yeah... awesome" Natsu groaned, "Man that was a rush" Beth said getting up. Carla was shaking, she paled really white... whiter than her normal self at least...

"We just came up to see if there was any work available" Wendy explained, then Amber went over to the request board. "Hmm, sorry you two but there's nothing good" she told them.

"Worth a shot though" Beth said stretching, "Well looks like we should go back get Polycrusia then" Wendy said.

"Why Polycrusia?" Gray asked, "joust to make a house call for mom" Amber said before they all flew out, "I've got the sneaking suspicion something's up" Happy said.

Just then Lucy then came into the guild, "morning guys" she greeted "Hey Lucy" Mira greeted back. "I just saw Wendy, Amber and Beth fly out a moment ago" she said to them. "Any idea what's up?", Gwen then came over to them "all they were doing was getting Polycrusia for Erza" she answered.

"Oh man, is Erza okay?" Lucy asked, "we think so, but for them to call that old hag in for a house call is a little odd" Gray inquires. "Yeah, Polycrusia is old and nagging not to mention she hates people" Makorov said. "Unless it's something super serious she wouldn't go".

"I say we spy on them" Natsu said, "then either Ben or Erza would kill you" Levy said. Gajeel over heard then walked over to Pantherlily "hey Lily I'm gonna need you to do me a favor" he said. "Certainly Gajeel, What is it you need?" The Exceed asked, "I need you to get me to Ben and Erza's right away" the dragon slayer answered.

Levy heard him and walked over "hello Gajeel" she said which made him flinch, "what do you want shrimp?" He asked her. "Do you know something we don't about Ben and Erza?" She asked, he responded by grabbing lily and bolting out.

Only to be caught by Mira, "now now Gajeel, it's not polite to keep secrets" she said almost menacingly. "Okay black steel, as Ben's cousin it's my job to make sure both he and his new wife are okay" she said. "Just tell us" Lucy said, "no... not here at least" Gajeel muttered.

"Meet me on the path to Ben's house in an hour, I'll explain then" he said as he and Pantherlily flew out. "And make sure neither Natsu, Gray or anyone else finds out!" He added.

Immediately Elfman bopped the two in the head along with Happy, "the easiest and manliest way is with amnesia" he explained. The girls looked at Mira who simply smiled "not lying it does work" she said.

An hour later Gwen, Kevin, Devlin, Natalie, Max T., Mira, Lucy, and Levy were walking down the path to Ben's place. "See him?" Levy asked, Lucy then pointed "Yeah there he is" she said, "Okay were here Black Steel now tell us" Kevin said.

"Okay... so you know Erza recent moods swings occurred?" The dragon slayer asked them. "Yeah, Erza had those a lot when we were in Humatrix's dimension" Mira replied.

"And also she had a weird appetite, not to mention stomach issues" Levy added, "not let me ask, what condition has those symptoms?" Gajeel asked. "Wait.. Gwen had those symptoms before" Kevin said, "when she... was..." Gwen eyes went wide.

"Wait you mean... Erza's... pre... preg... preg..." She stuttered, "Wait so that whole time Erza's belly was getting bigger... it wasn't because she was eating too much... it's because... that was... her" Lucy said realizing it.

"Yup, Erza is pregnant and very close" Gajeel said, the girls all blushed, "but when though? We were only in that base for a few months" Levy said. "She got pregnant before that" Gajeel said, "Wait how would you know?" Devlin asked.

"Dragon slayers have a good sense of smell... and well... I picked up her labor pheromones" Gajeel said with a tint of pink on his cheeks. "Oh wow... Wait so if you noticed why didn't Natsu?" Lucy asked.

"Have you met that idiot? He wouldn't be able to understand what it was" Gwen retorted. "And also... they wanted to keep it a surprise, I went over and told them how I found out but swore to keep my trap shut" the dragon slayer explained.

"Then why tell us?" Kevin asked, "because we may be the only people Gajeel knows Ben trusts" Max suggested, the dragon slayer nodded. Finally the got to the couple's house, and they saw Wendy, Amber, Beth and Carla sitting outside. "Hey you Four, why are you all out?" Max asked, "Well... uh, you may want to listen for yourself" Amber said as she opened the door.

"AAAAHHHHHH!!! WHEN WILL THIS END!!! I AM IN SO MUCH PAIN!!! But... I'm also happy at the same time... I have... life in me..." a voice said.

Immediately they knew it was Erza, "so it is true" Levy said, Ben then peeked our. "Amber what did I say you were supposed to... oh... hey guys" he said, "uh..." "they forced me to tell them" Gajeel answered waiting to get hurt. "Ben... who's outside?" Erza asked, "Gwen, Grandpa Max, Kevin, Devlin, Natalie, Lucy, Levy, Mira and Gajeel" Ben answered.

"Quick, Max... Lucy... Mira... Gwen... can you three come inside" Erza asked, "uh why?" Lucy asked frightened. "It's... just personal... everyone else stand guard outside" she ordered. They all did as requested, "I assume to stop Natsu, Gray or Happy if they come around" Kevin asked. Erza then let out a faint yes.

The three girls came into the master bedroom to see Polycrusia watching over Erza. "Okay now Erza, I want you to take slow deep breaths" the medic instructed. Erza calmed down and did as requested, "so why did you want us here?" Lucy asked.

"I... I really need help" the red headed Tennyson answered, "I never had children before... and I'm scared" she added. Ben then took a spot next to the bed, "it's okay honey" he said holding her hand. "Erza did you say scared?" Mira asked, "I know what you're thinking Mira... but this is different... I... I'm about to have children... I'm worried, what if... what if something goes wrong?" The queen of fairies was seen crying.

"I... I don't want anything bad to happen to my... my first ever children" she wept. "Erza, look at us" Mira said, Erza did as she asked, "Erza, we've known each other for the longest time. I know you're scared and I don't blame you" Mira said. "Having babies for the first time, that's a big step" she added, "but remember, you are Erza Scarlet Tennyson. You are the most strongest woman we know" Erza then winced and squeezed Ben's hand.

"But... this... this new pain... it's unbearable..." she said, "Erza.. I've been in your shoes. I had to give birth to both Natalie and Devlin, and yes admittedly the pain from it was also unbearable. But let me tell you it's well worth it in the end" Gwen said.

"She's right sweetheart" Ben said trying to fight against the pain in his hand "in battle you've never backed down even if you're in pain. There's no reason to stop that now, I want you to fight through this. So that way, our kids can have the same resistance" he said. "Come on Erza, we know you can do it, you've taken on Lord Jose, Laxus, Cobra, heck even an alternate version of you. And even after that you still kept fighting. Show your kids the strong and determined women who is their mother" Lucy said.

Hearing all their words, Erza's tears ceased, she then had on a smiling look of determination. "Thank you... Grrrr!!!" She grunted feeling another contraction, "Ben... it's... it's coming fast" she said. Ben held her tight, "okay, Erza, I want you to push" Polycursia said.

Erza focused as much as she could to push, "Come on Cousin, I know you can do it" Gwen said. The red head let out a small shriek, and after that was the sound of a baby crying. As the pink haired medic leaned back she held a small baby with very short brown hair with red highlights.

"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Tennyson, Meet you're new son" she said, Ben looked over at the boy. He looked so small, yet his crying voice felt so strong, this time it was his turn to let his tears fall. "We... welcome to the world... son" Ben said to his new son, Erza grunted again, "I... I don't think... he's alone" she said.

"Twins?!" Mira gasped, Polycrusia quickly wrapped the new born baby in a blanket and handed it over to Gwen. "Okay here comes your next child" She said as Erza but down on a piece of cloth, which Ben gave to her a little while back, and started to push again.

"Come on Erza you can do it!!" Mira cheered, a muffled shout was heard followed by more cries. Again polycrusia had a small infant in her hands this time in a pink blanket. "Wow Erza, two in one day, say hello to your daughter" she said. Erza looked to see a baby girl who looked like Kenny with the same brown and red hair.

"Twins... Twins Ben" she said, "I can't believe it either Erza, is this how Kevin felt when his kids were born?" He asked crying tears of joy. "Actually compared to you he was crying like no tomorrow" Gwen replied.

Then Lucy took notice of Erza's uncomfortable trembling, "uh Erza?" She asked, "I... I feel like... I feel... like..." again Erza but down on the cloth again.

"It feels like I have something large stuck inside me.. it's too big to be a baby though" she complained. Because the medic was too busy asking Mira to hold the new daughter, the blonde then went over, and attempted to take a look. And then she paled a little "uh Erza... I see something" she said, "where do you think you're looking?! DON'T" Erza cried trying to hide her blush.

"LUCY!!" Ben yelled, "sorry but I think Erza May have.. woah!?" Erza's sudden action made her push again, and this time Lucy was the one who was holding a baby. "I... I just helped... Erza... deliver... oh boy" she said falling back into a chair.

"Lucy, please... bring my new baby to me" Erza pleaded, Lucy steadily got back up with a slightly pale face. And handed the mother her child, this one was actually different than her older siblings. The new comer was a girl, but instead her hair color was switched, while the first two had brown hair with red tips. The new baby had red hair with brown tips, in addition she was slightly more developed, "triplets.. I... I..." Erza could barely contain her happiness. And neither could her husband, their eyes were watering like no tomorrow.

A little while later Erza was now in a rocking chair with her new babies, with Ben behind them smiling. "So... this is how parent hood feels like" he said as he tickled his red haired daughter. She stirred a little, then Gwen, Mira and Lucy came in. "So how are they?" The orange haired cousin asked, "perfect, absolutely perfect" Ben said.

"Yes, Gwendolyn, you we're indeed right, the pain was well worth seeing my beautiful children" Erza added. Mira then spoke up "so did you decide on names?" She asked, they nodded "we're going to call our son Kenneth Rob Kirby Tennyson. Rob in tribute to Erza's grandfather from her time at the tower of heaven" Ben explained.

"And our first daughter, Kelly Elena Scarlet Tennyson. After a friend of Ben's" Erza said. "So how about your youngest daughter?" Lucy asked, "Well Ezra actually, Ezra Leah Verdona Tennyson" Ben said.

"Naming your child after your grandma? That makes me so happy Benjamin" the aforementioned annodite said appearing in. "Hey Grandma" Ben greeted, "I have such darling great grandchildren" Verdona said observing them.

"Any sparks?" Gwen asked, "a little bit not much to be considered an Annodite. But enough to be considered wizards" Verdona answered, "so when are you planning to introduce them to the guild?" Kevin asked walking in "shouldn't you be out making sure Natsu, Gray or Happy don't try to sneak in?" Ben asked sarcastically.

"They did trust me, but we managed to keep them at bay" he osmosian answered. "Anyway, Yes we are, tomorrow afternoon. Oddly Polycrusia said that they were more than healthy after a few hours" Erza answered. "That's good" Lucy said, "also, Gwen, Lucy, Mira, we were wondering" Ben said.

"Would you three like to be our Kids' godmothers?" Erza asked, "wha... well... of course" Mira exclaimed, "Well Gwen we want you to be Kenneth's god mother" Erza said. "Thanks" the carrot top replied, "then that makes me the god father" Kevin added.

"And Mira, Kelly" Ben said, "I'd be honored" the white haired maiden said, "so that means I'm Ezra's godmother right?" The blonde asked. The two new parents nodded, "yes, after all you were the one who brought her into the world" Erza said.

At that moment Polycrusia walked in "well, I'll be taking my leave. I advise you to come by every so often to give them check ups" she said packing up her medical stuff. "Thank you for everything" both Ben and Erza said, "no need, bringing babies into the world happens to be the few things I like about this job" she said before walking out.

At that moment Wendy Bethany and Amber ran in, "can we see them?" Ben's sister asked. "Sure their just about to wake up" Erza said, then Ken was the first to open his eyes and look around. The first things he saw was his mother and father "hello son" Ben said. "Yup he's our child, he has your eyes" Erza said.

After a second Kenneth giggled and reached out for the two, Ben couldn't help but feel his heart race fast. "One.. of our... most happiest moments... in our life" Ben said. Erza nodded in agreement, neither of them thought they couldn't love anyone as much as each other. Apparently they were wrong, then Kelly woke up, and like Kenny she giggled and reached out.

"Their one in the same" Erza commented, "true twins" Ben added, and next was Ezra. She saw her parents, only she just smiled, then leaned forward into her mother. "Wow, She's quite strong for her age" Ben said while his wife nodded.

"Aw They're so cute" Wendy cooed to her new sisters and brother, "aww even cuter than ditto" Amber said. "I'm so happy to be an aunty" Beth exclaimed, Ben just chuckled as he looked as his new kids.

"Welcome to the family, my little ones" he said.

The next day, Natsu, Gray and Happy were seen at the bar of the guild hall. Hey had multiple bruises and bumps on their heads. "What happened to you two?" Romeo asked, "we just went to visit Ben and Erza to see how they were doing. But then we were beaten up by Gajeel, Kevin, Devlin, Levy and Natalie" Happy said.

"To be fair it was your fault for sneaking in" Cana told them, "you're just as bad with them as you are with Lucy" Bickslow said with his dolls floating around him as usual.

"With Lucy! With Lucy!" They shouted, "all we wanted to do was see if Erza was still sick, is that a bad thing?" The Fire Mage asked. "I knew it was a bad idea but why didn't I listen to myself?" Gray said, and for some reason stripped down to his pants.

"Gray Darling, clothes please" Juvia said, just then the front doors to the guild hall opened. And outside was the recently married Tennyson family along with the Levin family, Lucy, Levy, Gajeel, Mira, Wendy, Carla, Amber and Bethany. "Hey you guys, everything okay?" Bisca asked, "you could say that" Erza said happily.

"But if anything, it's even better" Ben said, "everyone, meet our kids" Erza then showed everyone a big stroller, courtesy of Ben's Jury Rigg power, that had her kids in it.

Not surprisingly everyone was shocked to see that Ben and Erza had kids, but an hour later they, loudly, cheered. "In celebration of the birth of Ben and Erza's new born kin let's party!!!" Makorov shouted. Then the babies started to fuss "QUIETLY PLEASE!!" Ben whispered shouted.

Everyone quieted down, but we're still smiling, because at that moment the Fairy Tail Family had just gotten bigger.
