Juvia's POV

"He asked you this Saturday??" Lucy asked. "Wow, your beauty is showing up again, Juvia! I bet you'd want to date him."

"No, I don't. I can say that I think that he's hitting on me but dating him is out of the question." I said and laughed a little.

"Hibiki, huh? Is he Gray's replacement?" Levy suddenly asked and I gave her the look. She just drank her coffee as she looked away. "Ah, sorry."

We were at Lucy's garden at her house. The boys went somewhere and that leaves us some girls time. I was allowed to take the day off today, for some reason. Nashi's asleep and the other children as well. Speaking of children, I noticed a little bump on Erza's stomach.

I stared at it as I said bluntly, "Erza, have you been eating too much?"

She blushed and puts her hand on her tummy. "No, I'm not, except for the fact that I ate 10 strawberry cakes earlier and other than that, nothing. This was a surprise for you guys..."

The three of us eyed each other at Erza's statement before screaming in joy. Erza finally did it. Jellal finally did it. I'M SO HAPPY!

"OH MY, CONGRATS ERZA! FINALLY!" I shouted as I pulled her into a hug. "You're going to become a great mother like Lucy and Levy."

"Yes! I'm so excited to see the Jerza baby." Lucy giggled as she clapped her hands and took her phone. "I better text Mira-san about this."

"So, when did you find out?? Today?? Last week?!" Levy asked excitedly.

"Calm down, you guys." Erza took a deep breath and rubbed her tummy again. "I found out about it last week... I was 3 months pregnant already. I didn't even notice it until I vomited and vomited last week and we went to the doctor and here I am now, pregnant."

"Waahh~♥ I can't help but feel excited." I said as I touched my cheeks that are blushing too much. "I wish you would have the baby now so I can cuddle him/her."

"You should also get married and have a baby too, Juvia." Levy suddenly suggested. "You're being left behind in our age group."

A baby...

I pouted and folded my arms. "I-It's great to be single. I don't have anything to worry about. Nothing at all."

Lucy cleared her throat. "Ehem, Gray."

I glared at her as she avoided my gaze. Levy laughed at the two of us before turning to Erza. "Say Erza, wanna check out baby clothes at the mall? It's not bad to just check out some clothes since you're going to have it in another 6 months."

She nodded. "Yes, I want to check out some clothes."

"Let's do a little shopping later, okay?" Levy said excitedly and Erza agreed with her.

"Erza, what do you want for your first child: A boy or a girl?" Lucy asked randomly.

"A girl or a boy, either is fine with me. As long as he/she is healthy and will be a fine man/woman when he/she grows up." She said and rubbed her tummy again.

I innocently asked, "Is it kicking?"

"Juvia." The three of them facepalmed at me.

It's 1:00 P.M. and Gray texted me that I should go to office today. Aish, so much for a day off. He's making me feel remorseful and disappointed right now. I bidded farewell to my friends and I hurriedly went to the company in a taxi.

"Juvia! Wait, why are you here?" Hibiki greeted me as soon as I entered the floor where we're in. He was surprised when he saw me. "I thought it's your day off today?"

I rolled my eyes and snorted. "Yeah, until Gray texted me that I should go to work today. It totally ruined my day off."

I like you but do you really have to do that?

"Woah, you're speaking too casual about Mr. Gray." He said and shook his head in disapproval. "Ah, that won't do any good. Anyway, you shouldn't go into his office yet. Ultear's there and she's talking with Mr. Gray."

It totally ruined my mood. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. "Aish, never mind. I'll just go to my office then— Oh, are the accountants still here?"

"Yeah but they're kinda doing something right now." Hibiki said.

"Argh! Why did he have to call me at this time?? Does he need something—"

"You know Lockser, you could've just texted me if you didn't want to come today." And he suddenly appeared with Ultear by his side. He's in his usual suit and was wearing his reading glasses. Both of his hands were on his pocket.

My lips curled as I avoided his gaze. "... I'm sorry."

Hibiki looked at me confusingly as he cleared his throat. "Well, I'm going back now."

I flinched when he suddenly leaned into my ear and whispered, "Don't forget about our date tomorrow, okay? I'll wait."

Date? Seriously?!

He was suddenly pulled away by Gray by holding his arm. He was sternly looking at Hibiki before asking, "What are you doing? Flirting is not allowed here."

"Ah, I'm sorry sir." Hibiki slightly chuckled and removed his arm from Gray's hand. "I was just saying something to my girlfriend. That's all." He bidded us farewell and went to his room.

I gasped. "G-Girlfriend...?! What the—"

"Congrats Juvia! You have a boyfriend now. ♥" Ultear congratulated me with a smile and I couldn't tell if it's real or fake. She puts an arm around Gray and smiled even wider. "They'd look a great couple, don't you think, Gray?"

I looked at him and he was emotionless. He didn't show any sort of emotions or expressions on his face. "... Yeah. They'd look great together."

And that's when another crack happened in my heart.

Ultear giggled and leaned unto Gray's cheek and gave him a kiss. "I gotta go now. Bye." And she walked away with my hands gripped into a fist.

"Tsk. And I thought flirting is not allowed here." I murmured.

"What?"

"Nothing, sir."

"You don't have to be so formal when it's just the two of us." He said and assured me that's it's fine to ca him Gray. "Anyway, do you want to go home now? I feel like I disturbed you from your rest."

Yes but I still came and this is what happened.

"It's fine, Gray. I'm here already." I even emphasized his name. "So, what do you need? A back rub? Massage? Do I need to accompany you somewhere? What?"

"Not quite but it would be nice." He gave me a small smile and walked passed by me while I gaped. You've gotta be kidding me.

"Nah, it's nothing like that but... Just go with me. I'll take you somewhere." He said as I followed him to the elevator.

"What? Where?" I asked. Is this a date? Woah, stop assuming Juvia. That will never happen. He has Ultear now.

"I'll tell you at the car." He answered simply.

Car?

And we're here at the ground floor, walking towards the exit of this building. He still wouldn't tell me where we're going. If only I could just pinch him right now.

When we went outside, I was greeted by a sudden hug from a little girl with dark blue hair and dark blue orbs. She was hugging me at my legs and shouted, "Mommy! Mommy!"

I widened my eyes. Oh my... Why did you have to appear right now??

Gray's eyes widened. "Mom...my?"
