Fairy Tail was back together and Gray's heart ached to be with his friends again, with his family. The dark stain on his body had gone away and he was finally seeing the light, he could finally be himself again and he could finally go back home; to her.

God, he deserved to be shunned by Juvia after what he had done: slipping away in the middle of the night without an explanation after all they had been through?

After the fight that left both almost unconscious, Gray asked Natsu if he deserved go back to Fairy Tail and the pink haired boy told him he had no choice, that he had people waiting for him.

Gray thought it meant their guild mates in general until he arrived in Magnolia. He saw everyone but the one he needed to see the most.

"Where is Juvia?" Gray asked Lucy when he couldn't spot the familiar shade of blue hair.

The blonde's eyes softened and she pulled him away from where their friends were exchanging stories. "She rented a room, close to where I used to live. But Gray..." Lucy hesitated. "Too much happened in the past two years."

"I know." Gray sighed. "I don't know if she'll even listen to me, to my reasoning."

"She will." Lucy was quick to say, but Gray sensed she wanted to say more.

"What is wrong?"

The woman sighed. "Go see her. You'll understand when you go there." Lucy told him Juvia's new address. "And Gray?" He was about to leave when she called him. "Don't freak out." The Ice Mage was about to ask her what she meant, when Lucy turned around and returned to their friends.

Gray must've been standing in front of the door of the apartment for at least half an hour before he gathered the courage to knock. He could see her shadow from underneath the door knowing that she was just a few feet away from him.

After a burst of courage, Gray finally knocked and when she heard her say 'Just a moment', his heart almost burst out of his chest and just occurred to him that he had no idea what to tell her, what his excuse would be.

The moment the door opened and he saw her, his breath was knocked away from him. She had her hair in a ponytail, she was clearly wearing one of the shirts he left behind in their house – the one with a butterfly – and shorts.

She looked beautiful, just like he remembered.

"Juvia." He said after a moment. Juvia's blue eyes were wide, her mouth slightly open and seemed in shock – he couldn't blame her, after all, it had been two years.

"G-Gray-sama." The blunette breathed. "Are-are you really here?"

"Yes." Neither of them had moved yet. "I'm back." When she didn't give him any reaction, Gray took a step towards her. "Juvia, I'm so sorry. I never meant to..."

Without any notice, Juvia wrapped her arms around him. "I was so worried." She whispered while hugging him tightly. Gray, still dumbfounded she hadn't slapped him and told him to go to hell, slowly wrapped his own arms around her and it seemed as his world was back on it's tracks.

"I'm so sorry." He said over and over again, his face hid on the crook of her neck. "I never meant to leave you. I was afraid I would hurt you. I'm sorry."

"Are you okay?" Her voice was a bit croaked, but Juvia caressed his hair and he wanted her to yell at him, to slap him, to tell him to go to hell. Of course she was being supportive, that was Juvia in a nutshell: he leaves her, stays away for two years and she receives him with a hug.

"I am now." He never been more honest in his life. He released her slowly, but kept his arms loosely around her, he didn't seem to want to stop touching her and saw that she was openly weeping. "I am s-"

"Juvia knows." The Water Mage touched his face, just where the stain had been. "I missed you." Juvia tip toed and brushed her lips on his, and Gray visibly relaxed with the small gesture.

"I missed you too." Gray rested his chin on the top of her head and was beginning to feel in peace again. "I'll tell you everything, I promise."

"Whenever you are ready." She whispered and was about to say something else when a noise came from inside the apartment. Juvia looked over her shoulder. "He's supposed to be sleeping."

Gray frowned, looking inside the apartment too. "Is someone in there?" For the first time in the past minutes Juvia's expression became one of panic and anxious. "Juvia?" A wave of jealousy washed over him and he quickly pushed it away; she wouldn't be with him if a man was inside.

"You need to understand, Gray-sama." Juvia panicked. "She doesn't mean to throw it at you, it was Juvia's choice to..."

"Juvia." Gray cut her short and when the noise sounded again, Juvia offered him an 'I'm sorry' look and then headed inside. "Juvia, what-" The scene he arrived to made him stop on his tracks; there, next to the bed, there was a crib. The blunette was leaning over it, talking softly and Gray heard cooing sounds. "What-"

When the blunette turned around, she had a child in her arms and Gray felt as if he had been punched on the stomach when he saw the kid's jet black hair. The child was fussing, mumbling some nonsense even with a pacifier on his mouth while staring at Juvia, who had the brightest smile on her lips. "You were supposed to be sleeping." She said with so much love Gray felt even more dazed than before.

"Juvia." He managed to say and his voice came out a little louder than a whisper.

The blunette looked at him and the child did the same and Gray found himself staring at the familiar blue eyes; Juvia's eyes. No doubt in his mind about the child's heritage.

"Gray-sama." The Water Mage hesitated. "This is Gris." The boy rested his head on Juvia's shoulder and kicked his foot a little. He was wearing a ridiculously cute onesie with sailboats prints, but all Gray could see was the likeness he shared with the child.

All he could do was stare at them, trying to let the information sink. "He is seventeen months." Juvia informed him and Gray blinked, doing the math in his head.

"You were..." He tried. "When I left, you were..."

"Yes." Juvia kissed the top of the boy's head. "It was the most pleasant surprise."

"I never thought..." Gray had to support himself on the wall by his right.

"We were never careful." The blunette pointed out and Gray couldn't help but to agree. "Juvia only realized she was pregnant around the fourth month. She thought the stress of looking for you made her period run late." She looked adoringly at her son.

Gray took a few steps, hesitantly, towards them, still hypnotized with the child (Gris seemed to find the situation pretty boring, since his eyelids began to get heavier). "You-" The Ice Mage touched the baby's cheek. "You had to go through it alone."

"Juvia's fine." The blunette told him. "Gris was what made Juvia not lose herself. She knew you would come back. When Lucy-san, Natsu-san and Wendy-chan arrived at our house, Juvia wanted to stay, but they wouldn't let her there, not with a baby."

"I-" Gray gulped. "This is unexpected. I don't know the first thing about how to take care of a child." Juvia opened her mouth, but Gray lifted a hand to prevent her from doing it. "I owe it to you to be here. I will screw up more times than not, and it will take some time to get used to the idea of being... a parent."

"Juvia gets everything under control, she can take care of Gris just fine." She explained. "Juvia doesn't want you to feel trapped."

Gray nodded. "Thank you, but all I want now is to live my life. I thought of you, even when my mind was playing tricks on me and I think that it was what kept me from get lost." He hesitated. "I will need time, though. I am just starting to get myself back together and-"

The blunette smiled. "Juvia waited for you for twoyears, she can wait a little more."
