Bickslow's POV

I grimaced as I opened my eyes to the blasting sun. Had morning really come so fast? It seemed like just a minute ago it was night time. I rubbed a hand over my eyes and smiled. Today would be the day we truly welcomed our children to the world, and the guild.

Opening my eyes I looked over to see the bed...empty.

"Freed!?" I screamed as I jumped up and ended tripping over my own feet. My "babies" came to my side floating around me. It had been so long since I had used my magic I had almost forgotten them. I felt a deep sadness in my gut for forgetting them for so long.

"Freed Freed" they copied as I stood up only to hear water coming from the bathroom. I shook my head as I ran up the stairs and to the main bathroom.

"Yes you two are just the cutest babies in the world, I can't wait to surprise your daddy with your new outfits." Freed cooed as our babies giggled in his arms.

He was sitting on the floor in front of the bathtub drying the twins off with a towel. I guess he hadn't heard me shout because he was so distracted. I let out a sigh of relief and leaned against the door frame.

"You know you scared the soul out of me right?" I said causing Freed to jump and fall square on his back.

The babies looked between us in confusion as they laid on Freed's chest. Freed turned bright red as he struggled to get up weakly.

With a chuckle I came to his aid and helped him sit up with the babies in his arms. He was glaring lightly at me with a smirk as he finished drying off the twins. He handed our daughter to me and got up holding our son.

"Time to put those diaper practicing lessons on Igneel to use." Freed said as he walked out and into the bedroom. I followed as our daughter giggled and squirmed in my arms.

"You mean the lessons where he peed on me?" I asked as the horror of the memory replayed in my mind. That had not been a fun day for me or Freed.

As Freed set our son down and changed him I finally had time to get a close look at my daughters face. She truly did have my eyes and even though she had bits of green hair I could tell it was bluish green but mostly green. We had to come up with names for these two.

Freed soon took her from my arms and changed her along with her brother. As I watched Freed change her with ease I truly had to smile. Freed was already such an amazing father and he loved the twins more then anyone (except me).

"Freed, babe, we need to think about names." I said as Freed froze in what he was doing. He nodded and finished changing her before turning around with both of them in his arms. He had a bright smile on his face, one of those smiles that had me so in love.

"I'm aware of that I already had one in mind for her." He said as he rocked the twins in his arms. I smiled and hugged all three of them close.

"Let's hear it then!" I said a bit too loudly. The twins stared at me with their eyes wide open before bursting out in a fit of giggles. I could see our son had a cute little freckle by his eye like my beloved Freed did.

"Well I was thinking since Natsu and Gajeel saved our lives while you were gone that we could name her Natsuki in their honor, I couldn't find a name that honored Gajeel no matter how hard I tried sadly." Freed suggested and my heart plummeted to my stomach, I still had a lot to make up for.

I thought about it for a second as the pit in my stomach grew. Natsu really did deserve the praise as he protected both his mate and mine when I was gone. A head landing on my shoulder caught my attention.

"Bickslow...don't blame your self for what happened, we needed that money and we were okay." Freed said as he kissed my shoulder. How this man was so forgiving of me I had no clue, I don't even think I deserved his love let alone his forgiveness.

I gulped and kissed him on the top of the head. Freed was truly my angel.

"Thank you...Natsuki sounds beautiful."

Looking down at our daughter, no, Natsuki I gave her a kiss on the head as well as her brother. Freed smiled up at me and did the same to our twins before kissing me. I smiled and kissed him back.

"In the case I have the perfect name for our son, Hoshi, it means star and he sure is one." I said as Freed stepped back holding the twins.

He nodded up at me and handed me our son. I smiled and held Hoshi close to my chest. No matter what reason this child came into this world he was a miracle and I would love him as if he was mine too.

"Natsuki and Hoshi Justine, sounds perfect" Freed finally said as he looked down at our babies. I was glad that unlike me our babies finally had a first and last name.

This was going to be a perfect life.

But still some things were yet to come....
