Bickslow's POV

It's been three months since Laxus escaped and attacked Gray. No one has heard from him but he has branded four more guild members. Levy, Evergreen, Lucy, and even Erza. His attacks have no pattern but they all seem to be creeping closer and closer to the woods where me and Freed live.

So the Master has ordered until the babies are born and Laxus was captured me, Freed, Natsu and Gray will live in the two apartments below the building. No one had even known about them till the Master had shown them to us. Freed and Gray were extremely thankful but I could tell they were both still scared.

Natsu had moved all the stuff him and Gray would need into the apartment the day before me and Freed moved into the opposite one. They were quite roomy but only had one bedroom each. Happy was staying with Lucy in her apartment apparently. Natsu thought it was safer since he couldn't protect them both at the same time. It seems like a good plan since Gray looks like he's about to pop at eight months pregnant.

Freed looked about the same even though he was only six months pregnant. Freed had been urging me to move in quicker but we had only been able to finish today. I set down the last of our stuff as Freed sat down on the red couch. There was a tv in the bedroom and out here as well as a small kitchen and a bathroom. The bedroom has plenty of space with a queen sized bed. The only difference between ours and Natsu and Grays apartment was they got a king sized bed but with twins on the way we needed the extra room.

I smiled as I wiped the sweat of my brow. I had let my hair grow out and styled it similar to Romeo's hair. Still with my own flair though. I had also gotten some nice all black dad clothes. I couldn't have the babies thinking I looked scary all the time.

I plopped down on the couch next to Freed as he flicked through the channels. I could tell he was tense but he was much calmer then he was back home. We hadn't been able to afford a new place since I hated going out for jobs right now. I only took short ones but soon I was having to take a two months long one. I would get back just before Freed's due date. I hated leaving him but with the money from the job we'd be able to sell my house and move into an apartment with money to spare for the babies.

I traced my hands along Freed's bump as he kept flicking through the channels on the tv. I smiled and planted a kiss on each side of his stomach before being my lips up to his face and kissing him. He kissed back with a snort.

"What, getting tired of my kisses?" I teased as he shook his head. He turned off the tv and pulled me in for another kiss. I kissed him more desperately this time. We had been so busy moving that we hadn't had much alone time. I didn't let Freed help at all with the move so things took twice as long and he wasn't happy about it at all. He broke the kiss as he panted, his eyes glazed over. I smirked, I still got it.

"Now don't go gettin any ideas...you and the babies health comes first." I said as Freed groaned out of frustration. He barely was able to turn around on the couch to face me his stomach was so big.

"Having sex isn't dangerous." He said as he pouted. He looked so cute when he was angry.

"It is with us, I'm too big and too rough I don't wanna hurt you" I said as I went to grab his hands. Freed quickly slapped my hands away and wrote something in the air with his finger.

"Fre-GAAAHH" I got shocked by his enchantment which soon wore off mere seconds later as Freed gripped his stomach in pain. My eyes widened in fear as I held him close.

"Freed! Freed are you okay!?" I asked as he slowly sat and up and faced me.

"Yes I just used magic and it hurt." He said angrily as he wobbly pushed himself up from the couch and stomped off to the bedroom, slamming the door shut behind him.

I sighed as I put my head into my hands. What was I going to do for the next three months. I had a hormonal and horny boyfriend who got angry when I didn't provide him with relief. Well....it had been six months but I was worried about hurting him.

I heard a knock on the door and got up to answer. When I opened up I saw Wendy happily jumping from one foot to another.

"It's time." She said with a huge smile in her face as she ran off towards Natsu and Grays apartment. That's when I heard the screaming. My jaw dropped as I realized what was happening.

"B-but he's a month early....does that mean Freed can go into labor early too!" I shouted as I ran back into the apartment and banged on the bedroom door. Freed yanked it open angrily, I held my hands up in surrender before he could cast anything.

"Gray is having the baby." I said as Freed's eyes filled with excitement. Gray and Freed had become rather close and Freed agreed to be there with Gray when the baby was born. I wasn't so sure about it because I was worried about it driving Freed to an early labor but Wendy and Porlyusica had assured me it would be alright.

Natsu couldn't be in the delivery room because of what happened the last time Gray "went into labor". It was just Braxton Hicks and Natsu had burned downed their apartment AGAIN. Gray immediately decided not the have Natsu there when the baby was born for fear of it being an ice wizard and Natsu melting their son.

So me, Erza and Mirajane had been trusted to stop him from getting in there in any way we knew how. As of now he was being held down by Erza and Mirajane. I smiled as I walked up to them and sat in front of Natsu.

"How's everything going?" Erza asked as I looked from Natsu to her.

"Porlyusica says the baby should be here within the hour, apparently Gray had been in labor for fourteen hours without knowing it." I replied as Natsu struggled to get free.

"Natsu you really need to obey Grays wishes." Mirajane said as he struggled against her.

"I need to be there with my mate! He's in pain I can hear him screaming!" Natsu shouted as he struggled against them with no luck.

"Natsu, Gray will be fi-"

"Don't you even talk! Your gonna get to be there when Freed has your babies!" He shouted as he shot fire at me. I dodged it with ease only to get blasted head on. Natsu had scorched my hair and I sighed as I knew parts of it had been burned off.

************

It had been an hour and when Natsu finally stopped struggling we knew something was up. He had his ear to the ground in the guild hall with tears pouring down his cheeks.

"Is it over?" Lucy asked as she came over to Natsu with Happy. Natsu suddenly jerked upwards and looked at the floor.

"JUVIA BETTER NOT HOLD MY BABY BEFORE ME!" He shouted as he was finally let free. Natsu rocketed down the stairs with me, Lucy, Erza and Happy behind him.

When Natsu and us busted into the room Gray was laying in cold pool of water and ice. Juvia was using her water magic to clean off the baby in Grays arms. The baby had spiky pink hair and was crying louder then any other baby I'd ever heard.

Natsu fell to his knees at Grays side as Gray nuzzled into Natsu's cheek. He was panting from exhaustion. Natsu hugged Gray and the baby tightly as a towel was put around Grays waist to protect his dignity.

"H-How is he..." Natsu barely got out between sobs of joy.

"He's as healthy as a horse" Porlyusica replied as she packed up the last of her things. She shaved past us glad to be done for the night.

Freed came back over to me and hugged me. I noticed some light bruising on his hand but I knew it wasn't on purpose. Birth was a painful thing and Freed chose to stand by Gray during it, it was bound to happen. It made me gulp at what Freed would do to me when having not one but two babies. Natsu suddenly stood up and looked at us.

"FairyTail meet Igneel Dragneel! A fire dragon slayer!" Natsu chanted happily as Gray held the baby close.

Everyone shouted out their good wishes as Natsu not so politely shoved everyone out. He wasn't going to miss being the third person to hold his baby. We couldn't blame him and headed back upstairs with everyone else.
