chapter 7

new years eve


Lucys pov 


when me, natsu and louies go to the magnolia carnival we wait by the car park for the others because we wanted to wait for everyone else so we can go in together. 


'mummy when can i go on the rides?' louis asked impatiently. i have no idea what takes them so long. normally erza is first. Levy and Juvia are hell when we all want to go out because they just take ages getting ready, then once their ready you hear the hoover or see them washing up dishes for yet another hour. i feel sorry for Gajeel and Gray right now. 


'won't be long' i said and louis rolled his eyes and natsu picked him up onto his shoulders. 


'don't worry kid, we'll be on the rides soon' natsu said and louis laughed and cheered pretending to be an aeroplane on Natsus shoulders. 


Gajeels POV 


i pull up at Levys house with my girls at the back of the car exited to go to the fair. 'wait here, i'll just tell them that we're here okay' 


'okay' the girls replied in unison and i walked to the front door. when i knocked on the door, Jaden answered and looked glum. 


'she's still not getting ready is she?' i asked and Jaden nodded. i walked in and went to her room. 'lev what are you doin??' i asked and she looked at me. 


'hi, i'm just getting ready' she said like we have all the time in the world. 


'natsu called and they are already at the fair' i said and levy rolled her eyes. 


'i'll be ready in a minute okay' she said and i sighed and went downstairs. i saw the boys looking bored and i just went back to the car to get the girls. i gave them a hand gesture to let them know to come in and they sighed with bordem too. 


'we sat in the livingroom waiting for levy and she was taking ages. 


finally we hear her walking down the stairs. 'are you guys ready?' she asked


'are you ?' i asked and she nodded. we walked in the kitchen to the front door and then levy looked at the dishes. 


'mum, can we go' jamie asked and she nodded. 


'yeah, just until i do the washing' she said and we all sighed in a annoyed way and just sat on the table waiting. 


Juvias pov


right the babies are dressed, gray is dressed and i am dressed. all ready. i walk out my room and in the landing and see Gray as i walk down the stairs. he was standing with the twins in the pushchair as they were sound asleep. 'are you ready juvia?' Gray asked and i smiled and nodded. we got into the car and there was something i was forgetting. 


'Gray i feel like i'm forgetting something' i said and gray looked at me confused. 


'you sure, you look ready to me' he said as we were strapping the babies in. i thought again...i know there is something i didn't do. 


'strap beth in, i'll just be a minute' i said and i walked in the house. oh thats right, i forgot to hoover the house. 


Grays pov 


i'm sitting in the car, she has taken ten minutes in this house, where on earth is she?. i get out and go in the house and i hear the hoover. 


'JUVIA!' I shouted among the noise. 


'DON'T WORRY, I JUST NEED TO DO THE STAIRS AND THEN WE CAN GO!' she shouted back among the noise so i just go back in the car annoyed. i was so close to getting her out in time. 


Erzas pov 


jellal sees natsu and lucy waiting in the car park and pulls up next to their car. and we come out. Louies sees elliot and they both stand on the brick path together. and janet stood with me as i walked closer to lucy and then Jellal stood with natsu. 


'hey' i said and lucy smiled at me and janet. 


'hey, hello Janet' Lucy said and janet smiled and waved. 


'tweedle dee and tweedle dum still not come yet' thats mine and lucys nickname for them two sisters. we giggled and lucy shook her head. 


'natsu got a text from Gajeel that they're still in the house' Lucy replied and we just carried on laughing. we saw another car come up which was Grays i think. and Juvia waved exitedly becasue we haven't seen each other in ages. 


'HEY!' she shouted exitedly, she hugged Jellal and natsu and then she came to hug me and lucy. she said hello to the kids aswell. 


'wow 6 million years later' i said and juvia laughed. 


'hey you know i'm always before levy, aparently they haven't even left yet' juvia repeated and me and lucy laughed. 


'why do you guys always find an exuse' i said and juvia laughed. 


'Juvia, who ya taking?' gray asked and juvia went to the car and got out lou. its so nice houw Gray is doing this. most guys don't like women who have kids but this prooves that gray is a caring loving man. 


as soon as Juvia came over with baby lou i just had to hold him first. 'oh juvia he's so tiny and so so cute' i said in a baby voice and little lou cooed making me lucy and Janet aww at his noise. i lowered the baby down to janet so she could see him properly and she smiled. 


'are you and daddy going to have a baby?' she asked out of the blue and i froze. Lucy took lou because she wanted to hold him. 


'why do you want me too' 


'kinda. me and elliot love you as a mum, and we kinda want you and daddy to be together for a long time' i smiled at that comment and hugged Janet. 


'if you keep hoping it might happen' i whispered and janet smiled. yes i'm pregnant but i don't want the girls to know just yet. i want to tell Jellal and then the kids and then the girls and then the girls can tell the guys. i'm very scared but very exited. i have never thought of having children but now i am actually having a child. i've had a scan and it's jellals birthday in four weeks and i was hoping to put the picture  in his card and see his reaction. 


levys pov


i walk to the car and strap lucas in and he pulls a glum face at me. 'OH hush moaning, your in the car alright' 


'yeah after your fifth time getting dressed' Liam moaned and i just gave him a deadly look. 


'i'm sure you should know, not to annoy a pregnant woman. now sit up, no slouching and pull a smile on each seven of your faces' i snapped and they did as the were told but sarcastically. i saw gajeel get in his car and he started it. i then started mine and i followed his car to magnolia. 


as we turned up we saw the others nearly freezing to death waiting. i'm guessing the kids were in the cars because it was cold. i parked next to gajeels car and all ten eleven kids came out of the cars. 


'Oh my god 20 zillion decades later' lucy said and ran up to me and gave me a hug. 'oh i missed you' she said. 'hi boys' 


'hey aunt Lucy, juvia and erza' they spoke glumly' and the girls laughed. 


gajeel walked over to the boys and the kids all got in a group dying to go to the fair. 


'Can we go in now' louies asked and we all laughed. 


'yes' erza says and we all walked in a massive group. when we got to the paying stool the man looked confused. me and the boys went first. 


'hey what do the colours mean'.


 'tall people which is blue can go on all rides, meduim which is red people on the kid rides and then theres low height which are green which are kid and baby rides.'


'okay can i have three blue, three red and one green please' i asked niceley and th eman nodded. he printed the bands off and i helped the boys get there bands on. 


'57 jewel please' he glumly spoke and i payed the amount. we then walked in the fair and waited for the others. it was packed. i mean crammed. 


Gajeels pov


'can i get, one blue, two red and one green' i asked and the man printed off the tickets. 


'37 jewel please' god man lighten up will ya. i payed and walked in the fair to stand with levy and the others. 


'whats wrong?' she asked and i shrugged my shoulders. 


'nothing i'm fine' i said and levy hugged me whilst the girls and boys were sorting out their bands. 


Lucys pov 


'hey i only need one band which is green' i said 'oh and two blue' i said when i got my purse out natsu stopped me and payed.  'are you sure natsu?' 


'yeah its fine, how much?' 


'25 jewel' the man said and natsu payed like it was nothing. he smiled at me and chuckled. we both walked in and stood with gajeel and levy. 


Juvias pov


'we only need blue bands' i said and the man looked at me in a bored moody way. 


'10 jewel please' i payed five and gray payed five. it said that babies go free so we just had to pay for us. we walked in and waited with the others. 


Erzas pov. 


me and jellal walk to the booth and he has a face like he forgot something. 'Jellal are you okay' i asked and he shook his head. 


'no, i forgot the wallet at home' he stressed. the kids looked at us with sad faces. 


'don't worry i'll pay' i said and jellal looked at me. 


'but-' 


'jellal its fine' 


'can i have a red and a green band please' i said and the man printed them off. 


'20 jewel please' he spoke and i payed. 


'there is a thing called smile you know' i said and me, the kids and jellal walked in. the kids spread out to the rides in there colour wrist band and me and the others sat by the bar. 


'is there any baby baby rides' juvia asked and we all just laughed. 


'yeah, for babies who are 1-3' lucy replied and juvia sulked. 


'Gray can we go win prizes?' juvia asked and dragged him out of the bar. 


'Gajeel, do you wanna wonder around?' levy asked and the pair stood up and left. as for lucy and natsu. 


'jellal are you okay?' i asked and he nodded. 


'i'm pathetic' 


'no your not' i said and i moved up closer to him. 'you are a great dad, and don't worry, we'll find something okay' i said kissing his cheek. 'i love you' i said and he smiled. 


'love you too' he kissed me and we also went out wondering. 


Natsus pov


me and lucy check on Louies and he was having fun with elliot and Lucas. i look by the river and they have row boats and i looked at lucy and smiled. 'you wanna go on a boat?' i asked and lucy turned around and laughed. 


'natsu i'm terrified of boats' she said and i just hugged her. 


'why?' 


'it will turn out like the titanic' i just laughed and the comment. 


'lucy, its a small row boat and there is no icebergs in the water' i stated and lucy put her hands on her waist and pulled a cheeky grin. 


'i know'. 


'come on, i'll make sure we won't sink' i said lightly dragging her to the boat. as we got in i rowed in the middle of the lake where it was dark, silent and peaceful. 


'this reminds me of tangled' Lucy commented and i giggled. 


'what?' i have never seen this movie but ya know, she'll make me watch it one day cos that's what lucy is like. 


'you've never watched tangled?, oh my gosh natsu its like so cute. rapunzel and Finn rider go in the lake and he shows her the lanterns because she dreamed of seeing them for her entire life' i just looked at her blankly and just remained silent. 


'well, instead of lanterns, you will see fireworks' i said moving closer to my beautiful fiance.


'how long until then?' she asked snugging right into me. 


'about 3 hours' i said and lucy sighed and we just both watched the stars in the silence. 


Gajeels pov


i see the girls on the rides enjoying themselves and they are screaming, laughing, just having fun. i look at the boys who are near Juvia and Gray. i notice Luke trying to shoot a basket ball to win a massive toy and levy notices me looking. 


'just talk to them' 


'they hate me' i said. 


'well you used to play basket ball in school. just show em your skills' levy laughed and i walked over to them. 


'one more go' the man behind the basketball booth said and Luke shot the ball and missed. he got frustrated and was about to storm off. 


'hey luke where you goin?' i asked and he stopped and looked at me weird. 


'going to another booth, basket aint me' he moaned and i just chuckled. 'whats funny' 


'nothing, i could try and win ya a huge bear if thats what you wanted' i said and he scoffed. 'whats so funny, i was the champion of basketball, i was captain' i said and walked to the booth. 


'three shots to win a big prize' he explained '5 jewel' i payed and got the ball. luke stood next to me waiting for me to shoot. i shot one and it went in. i then shot the second time and it went in. 


'thats because your tall and lucky' 


'tall and lucky' i repeated laughing and turned around. i eyed levy and everyone else with shocked faces, Gray and juvia watching and smiling. 'ready luke, watch carefully' i threw the ball behind me and the crowd of people cheered and clapped which made me laugh. i looked at Lukes face which was a happy shock.  'YOU DID IT, YOU ACTUALLY DID IT!' Luke cheered and i just happily laughed. 


'yep, which one do you want?' i asked and he eyed the huge dragon on display hanging on a clip. 


'the Grey Dragon' he said and the man took it down and i handed him the prize. 'thanks Gajeel, look mum, Gajeel won me a prize' luke cheered running to Levy and gave her the prize to look at. 


'wow, thats amazing luke' she said and he hugged her tight. 


'Gajeel is so cool' i heard him muffle whilst hugging levy and i just chuckled. 


'thats good to hear' she spoke smiling. 


'i'm gonna go on more rides with the others, see you later' he said running off. levy looked at me and smiled and wondered around the rides. 


Grays pov 


me and juvia notice a skating rink and she looks at me thinking its a crazy idea. 'no Gray, who's going to look after the babies?' i turned around and saw Jellal and Erza strolling past the rink. 


'Jellal, Erza. do you mind if you look after lou and beth whilst me and Juvia skate?' i asked and jellal took the push chair and smiled. 


'yeah sure, you kids have fun' he joked and him and erza laughed whilst i just chuckled. they walked off with the twins and me and juvia went in the skating rink. 


as we skated around juvia had loss of balance so i helped support her. 'have you skated before?' i asked and juvia giggled. 


'in highschool i had a skating party but it wasn't ice skating' she explained. i held her hand and began skating next to her, trying to make Juvia get used to ice skating. 


'its just like rolerskating, only its a blade instead of a wheels' i watched juvia blush and we glided along the ice together smiling and laughing. 


Jellals pov 


me and erza sit back in the bar place with the babies sleeping peacefully. i look at them and smile and i noticed erza smiling at me 


'you still want another kid right?' she asked. i looked at her seriously and sort of smiled. 


'well yeah but, i need a job, if we have another kid, i will need to find a better job which will be harder to find' 


'we can try, i could find a job too' i smiled at her and held her hand. 


'it will be fine i promise' she said to me and just gave me a hug. it wasn't long until the twins began to cry so we walked back to the ice skating rink to meet juvia and gray. 


Lucys pov 


it was dark and silent. natsu was looking at his watch and leaned back ready for something exiting to happen. 'Natsu?' 


'hmm' he hummed and i watched his green eyes slightly glow in the dark. 


'what time is it?' i whispered and he looked at his watch


'11:55' he replied. we decided to go back and get louie and come back on the boat. when i walked to the fair ground i saw Gajeel with the young kids and they all have teddies from the prize stalls. 


'Mummy!' he cheered. and ran over to me for a hug. 


'hello sweetie, hey me and Natsu are going on a boat' i said and louies smiled with exitment. 


'can i come too?' he asked in a bashful way and i giggled. 


'of course but we have to be quick, natsus waiting' i said and louies jumped into my arms. 


'BYE GAJEEL, THANK YOU FOR MY PRIZE!' he shouted and i turned back around and smiled at Natsus best friend. 


'thanks gajeel' i repeated and he just waved with the other two minors. 


'its alright' i heard him shout back. i carried on walking until we reached to where the boat is and i carefully put louis in the boat. he couldn't wait. 


Gajeels pov


'okay, elliot, where is your sister because i need to take you back to your father and erza' i said and he shrugged smiling. 


'OVER THERE!, uncle Gajeel, dad is with erza and janet by the bridge' Elliot pointed out and i carried on walking and met up with elliots parents. 


'daddy' he cheered and i put him down so Jellal could hug him. 


'hey sport. oh thanks gajeel' he said and i just put my hand out meaning its nothing. i basically look after elliot and janet all the time when Jellal had work. 


'see you soon okay, have fun' i said to the family of four and i tried to find my family in the crowd, all i know is that they are all with levy. as i walked back to the fair i felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and levy was calling. 


'hey' 


'hi, just to let you know, we are by the tree in the grassy thingy bit' she said making me laugh and i looked over and saw her waving with the crowd of children. and i quickly ran towards them. 


'hi dad' the girls said and the boys waved. 


'how long?' i said and levy looked at her watch 


'2 minutes' she replied and we all sat down on the grass, me and levy against the tree sitting next to each other, my girls in front of me and the boys next to them in front of levy and we sat there waiting. 


Juvias pov 


we walked around with the twins and found a nice cosy spot by the river as we sat on the small bridge looking up at the sky. holding each twin wrapped around an arm and holding hands so all four of us were together. ready to start a new year. 


'are you ready juvia?' Gray asked and i nodded smiling looking in his dark blue eyes and we sat there waiting for something magical to happen. 


erzas pov 


'daddy, i'm cold' Elliot told his father and jellal looked at him sadly. he took off his coat and put it around his son, they both then cracked a smile and Jellal lifted him up and we waited for the fireworks. 


'10' the crowd shouted and cheered so we all did the same 


'9'


'8'


'7'


'6'


'5'


'4'


'3'


'2'


'1'


'ZERO!' we all cheered and yelled and the magical fireworks blasted through the air and exploded in the sky creating beautiful unforgettable shapes and colours. Jellal pulled me and janet closer and made us all have a family hug. 


'happy new year guys' he whispered and we all laughed watching the luminous fireworks in the black abyss sky. 


Natsus pov 


louis cheered at the front of the boat and i had my arm wrapped around Lucy's shoulder. she looked in my green eyes and i looked in her brown ones and we both smiled and kissed. 


'happy new year' she whispered and i whispered the same thing to her. we kissed again and hugged. 


'i love you' i said and lucy said it back and we both looked back at Louis enjoying the fireworks. 


Grays pov 


'see, told you they're beautiful' i spoke and juvia rested her head on my shoulder smiling staring at the enchanting fireworks. 


'they are, happy new year gray' she smiled and i smiled back 


'happy new year Juvia' i repeated and we heard the babies coo which made us giggle and look back up at the sky. 


Levys pov 


we all sat there cheering and pointing out the most pretty fireworks.  i leaned on Gajeels shoulder and and he rested his head on mine -_- oh well at least we are all together. 


'Happy new year Guys' me and gajeel said in unison which made us all laugh. 


'happy new year' they all said back and we carried on watching the heavenly fireworks and relaxed in the grass area by the tree hoping for a very happy new year as a big, new family.
