GRAY'S POV

'Why did I try to kiss her?' I thought while making my way back to the track field. My thoughts were halted by Gajeel's voice.

"Hey Stripper, what took you so long? Where is Sprinkler? Did you make up with her?"

"Yeah, actually something else happened again which I was not expecting but luckily we stopped it on time."

I told Gajeel what happened a while ago. He thanked me for saving his sister once again. 

But he asked me a question which made me blush and think.

"Hey Stripper, what do you feel about Juvia? Do you by chance love her? Just be truthful. 
      The way you behaved that day trickles my mind to think something else."

"Gajeel to be truthful, I'm quite a bit interested in her. I don't want her to think that I'm trying to ruin her relationship with my boss. 
    But personally, if you ask me, he is not a genuine character to be hanging around."

He looked confused and asked what I was trying to mean.

"What do you mean by your boss?"

"He is the manager of the store where I work part-time. As I said, he is a womanizer.
    I'm trying to find evidence against him so that I can warn Juvia about his character. But still now, I'm not able to grab any such evidence." 

After thinking for a few minutes, he then asked me.

"Okay if Juvia breaks up with that boss of yours, then will you take her as your girlfriend?"

"Sure I would take her as my real wife if things become much more easy going as we build up our relationship." 

I said with a blush and he patted my shoulder.

"Fine, I give you my permission to start dating her once she breaks up with her boyfriend. I and Jellal will root for you.
     But Stripper, if you make her cry or hurt her by any chance, I warn you, you won't be able to see the sun the next day."

Our relay team was just waiting for Juvia to come so that we could wind up with today's practice session. 

Erza also arrived just on time after handing over the bitch to the disciplinary committee.

"I'm sorry guys. Just this Natsu-san took time to finish his lunch." Juvia apologised for being late.

"It's okay. Why are apologising for this idiot?" Lucy scolded her boyfriend.

Then Mr.Gildarts, he called out the order in which we were going to run in the relay.

"As far as I saw your performance from last week, Natsu, you are going to be the ace so on the 5th position. 
       Juvia, you will start the relay followed by Jellal, then Gray and followed by Erza. Fine.
    Now get enough rest, we will meet on Monday. So get ready to win the trophy.
    Disperse"

Juvia came up to me for helping out. I could see she had turned back to her normal self as she was giving me her adorable smile which I missed for a week.

After sometime, we left the group and went to our adobe. We saw Mrs.Ashley's doors were locked and didn't know where she would have gone.

When we reached our room outside, our neighbours, the Connell family were waiting for us. They greeted us.

"Oh Mrs.Connell, why are you waiting outside? Sorry just a moment, dear open the door." 
Juvia ordered me and I took the key and opened the doors.

"No Juvia, let it be. We have small request, if we are not disturbing your personal space. 
      Can you and Gray take care of our baby for a few hours while we just finish some important work outside?" 

She nervously asked us. I shook my head indicating it was alright as I didn't have my part-time today. 

Juvia happily accepted her request and carried the baby girl in her arms.

"Oh!! what a cute baby.. What's her name? Oh baby..." 

"Her name is Asuka. Thank you dear. Please it's just for a few hours and here take her baby supplies. Just feed her milk if she cries, dear. We will get going. Bye."

NARRATOR'S POV

After sometime, both Juvia and Gray were having a little tight time with the baby as she was crying.

Both of them tried to calm her down and feed her. But it was in vain. 

"Juvia try patting her back..."

"It's not working, Gray. Oh baby, don't cry mama will come soon. Oh....Oh.. "

The baby did calm down after Juvia started to sing a lullaby. Juvia took this as the perfect time to feed her with the milk.

After finishing, Juvia helped the baby to burp out and eventually made her sleep.

Gray, on the other hand, was watching the heartwarming scene before him.

He felt Juvia would make a good mother as how worried she was when the baby didn't stop crying. He was smiling brightly.

"Gray, why are you smiling like an idiot?"

"It's nothing. You look cute with the baby in your arms. Hey I have an idea, let's take a pic as a family. Come Juvia...what do you think?"

"Yeah sure, it will be a lovely memory with this baby. I'm ready." Juvia smiled and stood up with the baby in her arms.

Gray took his mobile and stood in a most complying position. Gray threw his arm around Juvia's shoulder and brought her close towards his chest while the baby girl was in the middle of each other's chest. 

Both of them looked at each other and clicked the selfie. The pic has turned out to be a beautiful photo which even Juvia agreed.

"Oh dear, both of you look so adorable as a family." Mrs.Ashley entered the room and caught the couple off guard.

"Do you feel so Mrs.Ashley!!! Thank you." Juvia thanked her for the complement with a small blush.

"Mrs.Ashley, come sit down. I will make some tea for you." Gray went to the kitchen leaving the ladies alone.

"The Connells had some important work that's why they left this cutie in our care. She was giving us a little tough time but eventually settled down." Juvia told her.

"So Juvia, can I hear any good news?" Mrs.Ashley smiled and asked the young blunette who looked confused.

"What good news do you want to hear Mrs.Ashley? For now, none of our birthdays are coming..."

"I'm not talking about your birthdays dear. I'm talking about when will you celebrate your baby's birthday.."

Juvia blushed wildly thinking about the possibility of having a baby with Gray. She began to stammer to form the correct words.

"No Mrs.Ashley, we can't. We are too young to think about it again.    
   First time was an accident but we learnt to accept that   wholeheartedly but the misfortune bestowed on us in the form of miscarriage.
     So we still need sometime to recover from that shock." 
Juvia let out a fake tear while Gray  was marveled by her acting skills.

Mrs.Ashley consoled by patting her shoulder. "That's why dear, you should think about it and forget about the past. This new life will help you in recovering."

Just then Gray entered the hall with a tray of 3 cups of tea. "Yeah Mrs.Ashley, we will think about it so for now enjoy my version of Juvia's tea."

GRAY'S POV

After Mrs.Ashley left the house, soon the Connells came from their work. They thanked us for taking care of their little bundle of joy.

As a thank you gift, they gave us 2 tickets for the amusement park.

Juvia refused the tickets but they insisted as they received this as a gift from their client and were willing to give us.

"Juvia dear, you and Gray go enjoy the rides. We can't go with this little one around. We are happy to give you this. Please accept this from our side."

We thanked them. My thoughts drifted back to Gajeel's words. He sure gave me permission to date his sister.

So I can take her to the amusement park for a date. I'm really thankful to the Connells for their generosity.

"You sure are in a good mood if you are smiling like a creep. What is your mind thinking about?" Juvia snapped me out of my thoughts.

I decided that I will play a small game with her for a while, so I closed the door behind me. 

I slowly closed the gap between us and pinned her against the wall.

"Gray, what are you doing? Move out."

I was towering over her short body. I took a sniff of her scent.

She smelled like a sea bed along with vanilla mixture. She looked completely flustered.

I was slowly losing my conscious sense to her alluring scent. Hopefully, this play doesn't turn out into something regretful.

I leaned forward and whispered in her ear with a low husky voice, "Hey Juvia, let's make Mrs.Ashley's wish a reality." 

She blushed and shivered under my hot breath.

"Gray, stop playing this game. Hope you are just joking... Haha haha...."

"No Juvs, I'm serious. Come let's move to bed...." I leaned forward to kiss her lips but she turned her head and my lips ended up in her neck. 

'Hey Juvia, trying to stop me now itself or else I won't be able to control from now on.' 

My thoughts were battling with my inner voice.

She instead of stopping me let out a moan which was soothing to my ears. Her voice was driving me crazy. 

I bit her neck and slowly sucked and licked to leave a hickey on her pale skin. 

'Tomorrow I'm going to die from the hands of her brothers. If they know I had my ways with their innocent sister.' My thoughts were voicing out.

Before I could proceed to the middle region of her body, suddenly my mobile rang. 

Luckily, I got back into my conscious sense and looked at her. She was breathing heavily. 

I was expecting a ranting from her but she was silent.

She passed across me and went to sleep on the couch. I took a look at my mobile to know which good soul interrupted my dangerous game. 

I took a mental note to thank that person later and saw it was Natsu. Sure he has a very good sense of causing interruption at the correct moment.
