Father's Day – Gruvia

#

Gray rolled to the side, eyes still closed and hoping to bring his wife closer to him so they could sleep for a couple of hours more but when all he found was an empty cold space, his eyes opened in confusion. Juvia usually stayed in bed with him as long as she could.

He sat down on the bed and noticed the bathroom door opened, ruling out her being there. The Ice Mage was about to get up to search for her when the bedroom door opened, revealing his beautiful wife. Her blue hair was much longer than usual and she had put it in a braid, she worn a soft set of ridiculous pink pajamas with hearts and was holding a tray with food and that sight alone made Gray jump from the bed to take it away from her.

"Oh, good morning, Gray-s-" Juvia tried to say, but he interrupted her and taking the tray away.

"What the hell are you doing?" He hissed. "This thing is heavy!"

Juvia rolled her eyes. "It's not. Juvia can handle a tray of food, Gray-sama."

"You heard the doctor: no heavy lifting." He put the tray on the nightstand before turning to look at his wife again. "Why on earth were you carrying that?"

"Because today is Father's Day and Juvia wanted to make you breakfast in bed." Juvia explained and Gray put a hand on his temple.

"Juvia, the baby's only coming in a month."

"Doesn't matter, you're already a Dad." She grinned and put a hand over her round stomach and took a step toward her husband. She grabbed his hand and put it next to hers and Gray visibly relaxed when he felt a kick against his palm. "See? Our baby boy is giving you his Happy Father's Day kick!"

Gray snorted. "He's just kicking, Juvia. Exactly like he has been doing for the past 4 months."

"This one is special." She said and Gray let it go - they were married for five years and knew when to quit an argument.

"I'm still mad at him for not being a girl." Gray poked his wife's stomach and the baby kicked again. They had found out they were having a boy two months before and Gray had been very disappointed.

"This again?" Juvia groaned in annoyance.

"It's not my fault the men in my family have the worst genes in the world and all of us get psycho when something bad happens. My Dad became a zombie and for twenty years he mourned my mom and I and he turned to the darkest guild - sure, he was infiltrated to destroy it, but still. I got so mad when my mom and my dad died, that I was thirsty with revenge that I got Ur killed. And there was my plan of revenge against Zeref. And that one time I thought you were dead and went psycho. Fullbuster men are mentally unstable and that's why I wanted the kid to be a girl. Maybe girls are immune to it." He shrugged. "At least we could hope."

"Well, It doesn't matter now: we are having a boy." Juvia looked down to her stomach. "Maybe the next one will be a girl."

"Plus, there are your genes and you are also not normal. I'm telling right now: the ultimate psycho baby." Gray smirked when he felt his wife slap his arm.

"Stop it." Juvia giggled. "We just have to raise him right and teach him not to go crazy if someone steals his blocks or something; teach him to share. Don't worry, Gray-sama, you will be a great dad. You are already worried." Juvia tip toed and kissed him on the lips. "Now let's enjoy your first and last Father's Day without our son with us. Next year I'll have him waking you up instead!" She said, excited.

"So, next year I'll be covered in drool when I wake up instead of almost having a heart attack by seeing you do crap you weren't supposed to. Great. Hooray." Gray said and smirked when Juvia showed her his tongue and proceeded to sit on the bed, examining the tray of food.

"These pancakes look good." She muttered and turned to her husband with pleading eyes. "Gray-sama, the baby wants these pancakes. Do you mind...?"

"The baby wants it?" Gray raised an eyebrow. "Sure, go ahead. I guess that if we are teaching the kid to share, he has to learn from us." Juvia grinned and Gray leaned and kissed her lips.

"Happy Father's Day, Gray-sama."

"Thanks." He put a hand over her stomach and smiled when their baby moved. Maybe this one had a chance, after all.
