Back to the Future

Part IV

#

The night Urian left, Gray took Juvia home and once she got inside his apartment, she had locked herself in the bathroom for hours and Gray could hear her crying and his heart broke with every sob he heard. It was the first time they spent so much time apart and if Gray had to guess, Urian was giving just as much trouble to Gajeel and Levy.

After giving her time to cry and when she was much quieter inside the bathroom, Gray knocked and opened the door. Juvia was seated at the edge of the bathtub, still sniffling and tears still falling, but she seemed more controlled, then.

Gray kneeled in front of her and got one of her hands on his. "Juvia? Come on, let's go to bed."

"Our baby is not here." Juvia whined and Gray got up, helping her get up as well. "Do you think they got there safe?"

"Of course." By the late hour, Lyon had already received Urian at Lamia Scale. "You know how much Lyon liked Uri. He will have fun while in there."

"I don't like that." Juvia said while he led her towards their bedroom. "I want him back here. With us. Like he is supposed to."

"Me too." Gray agreed and made her sit down on their bed. "Just a few more days and he will come back to us and then you have my permission to coddle him until he's an adult."

Juvia's lips went upwards just a bit with his words. "Juvia will do that with or without your permission."

"I like to at least think that I have some say about that." Gray sat by her side and put an arm around her shoulders and the blunette leaned on him, her head resting on his chest. "He will be fine."

"He has to be." Juvia whispered.

They stayed in silence for a few moments, both seeking comfort into the other before Gray told her they needed to sleep – by the way she cried and the day they had, she would be more than exhausted and so was he. Juvia nodded her agreement and she took off her boots before lying down on the bed, Gray following her a moment later. He put his arms around her and kissed the back of her head.

Juvia, though, barely slept that night.

#

The sun was barely up when Gray woke up and when he reached to the side where Juvia slept, he found it cold. He frowned and opened his eyes and just as he suspected, her side was empty. Gray sat on the bed and looked around the room, looking for her and was surprised to see her leaning on the wall in front of Urian's small bed.

"Juvia?" Gray asked, carefully getting up from the bed. "Why are you up?"

"Urian usually wakes me up at this hour." Juvia told him, still looking at the empty bed. "Juvia thinks she got used to the time and just got up."

He sighed and grabbed her hand. "Come back to bed, it's still too early to be up." Juvia let herself be handled and when they were by the bed, Gray tugged her hand so she could lie down, but she didn't let him. He looked over his shoulder and frowned.

Juvia let go of his hand and Gray turned around. She put her hands on his shoulders and pushed him down the bed and he sat down, waiting for her next move. Juvia, then, pulled the shirt of his she was wearing and Gray's breath got caught in his throat – for years they've slept together but seeing her naked form always made him feel like that first night.

"Uh… Juvia?" Gray gulped once she got rid of her panties and straddled him – his own underwear the only barrier between them. "What are you-?"

She put a finger on top of his lips. "I need to feel something." She told him in a whisper. "I need to feel something other than missing our son." Juvia rested her forehead on his, her fingers twining themselves on his hair and felt his hands on her waist, bringing her closer. "Please, Gray-sama." Her eyes watered.

Gray looked at her and his heart ached to see her that way and he shared that pain with her, he also was afraid of what could happen to their son, but was also terrified about what could happen to Juvia. She didn't seem to think about what could happen to her, which made him even more scared.

"What do you need?" Gray asked her in a whisper.

"You." She crashed her lips on his and Gray answered in kind.

#

Gray let her set the pace on top of him even is his hands were on her hips and he wanted her to go faster, but that was for her, for them to feel better, to forget for a few minutes what they were going to face. Gray whimpered when Juvia leaned and kissed his neck while moving way too slow for his taste on top of him.

"Juvia, please." He whined and she stopped altogether. Gray almost groaned in frustration until he looked into her eyes and he saw a change in the way she looked at him. Gray knew that look and he was damn well pleased to see it there.

He turned them around so he was on top of her and before he could think anything else, he was thrusting into her, feeling her surrender to him, wrapping her arms around his shoulder and she moaned his name. Gray grabbed her by the back of her thigh, pulling it up and suddenly he was driving so much deeper than before.

"Gray-sama." Juvia breathed, her cheeks rosy, hair a mess and easily the most beautiful thing Gray's ever seen. "So- so close." The blunette whimpered.

"Juvia." He gritted between his teeth, feeling that he was also close to coming. "Look at me." She looked glassy eyed at him and when their gaze met, Gray told her, sliding a hand between their bodies to touch just above where they met: "I love you."

Her whole body tightened as she found her release, squeezing around him and two more thrusts were all he needed to spill himself inside her. Gray fell on top of her, both their breathings still hard for a few moments. Once he felt more like himself, Gray rolled to the side of the bed and immediately brought her close to him and she snuggled closer to him.

Gray caressed her back as Juvia traced patterns with her fingers on his chest. For the first time in days they seemed to be less clouded about what was supposed to happen in a few days.

"You haven't woken me like that in a while." Gray told her and Juvia giggled.

"If you haven't noticed, we have a toddler and we live in an one bedroom apartment."

"We need a bigger place." Gray sighed and turned around a bit so the front of their bodies were pressed together. "At least two bedrooms. Uri will need a room of his own as soon as he comes back. I kind of like mornings like this."

Juvia smiled and put a hand on his cheek. "I love you."

"And I, you." Gray kissed her and they stayed in silence for a few moments.

"Gray-sama…" She said and he looked at her. "Juvia needs you to promise something." Gray frowned in question. "If something happens to me, I need you to have Urian's needs as a priority."

"What?"

"We don't know what the next few days reserves to us, but if something happens to me…"

"Don't speak that way." Gray sat on the bed and Juvia followed him, a sheet covering her naked body. "Nothing is going to-"

"We don't know that." Juvia told him and touched his back. "All Juvia is asking is for you to not let him have the same kind of childhood we had." He looked into her eyes and she knew he understood her: after they lost their families, they suffered a lot before they found Fairy Tail and Juvia didn't want the same thing to happen to her son. "If something happens to me, you need to make his necessities your priority. Forget about me, all that matters is him."

"Juvia…" Gray began, but she interrupted him.

"Trust me, Gray-sama, Juvia will try her best to never put you in that position, but she just needs the reassurance that you will do whatever it takes to make our son happy."

Gray sighed, knowing she wouldn't stop until he promised. "I promise." He said grudgingly. "But you better promise not let anything happen to you or I'll be really pissed off at you."

"Don't worry, Juvia will do her best." She smiled and kissed his cheek. "We have a couple of hours before we are needed at the Guild." The blunette whispered in his ear. "What should we do with our time?"

Gray pushed his worries away from his mind for the moment and tackled her back to the bed.

#

The day of the Blue Moon, everyone at Fairy Tail looked tense and Gray refused to leave Juvia's side – wherever she went, he was right behind her. There was no way in hell he would let anyone take her. Just the day before they talked to Urian by Lachryma and even though the boy didn't understand why he was away and absolutely didn't understand why he could touch his parents through the Lachryma and cried a lot, he was safe.

At Sunset, Juvia felt something cold down her spine. She got up from her spot by the Fairy Tail bar and Gray got up with her.

"What is it?"

"I…" She hesitated. "I just got this bad feeling…" She looked at him. "I think they are here." Juvia searched for his hand and squeezed it. "There's this…. I can't explain… maybe a pull? My Water Magic is feeling something call it."

Gray closed his eyes, trying to sense something – after all, Ice was still water, just in a different state – and he could feel it, a tiny feeling of something calling him. "I can feel it too." Gray told her. "I had to concentrate a lot, but it's here." They looked at each other for a moment. "Don't get away from me whatever happens." Juvia nodded and Gray looked around their friends. "Guys, it appears that whoever was coming for Juvia and Urian arrived."

"We are ready." Natsu said, hands in fists and looking very focused. "We are going to kick their asses." Their friends agreed and Juvia's eyes watered, seeing that their Guild would do everything to help them.

They started do go towards the doors of the Guild – it was decided that they would take the fight outside and Juvia stopped Gray from following for a moment and told him: "Remember your promise."

Gray's jaw tightened and he nodded. "Remember yours." Juvia tip toed and gave him a peck on the lips before they went out as well.

#

Natsu's sense of smell and heightened hearing helped them get by the docks – if they wanted a fight, they would take the fight to them. There were about fifty people wearing dark blue robes and weird pointy hats which also had a thin clothing covering their faces. Five of them, though, had their clothes in a much lighter shade of blue and another with white clothing.

"We knew you'd bring the Vessel to us." The one wearing the white clothes said, it was a man and he took a few steps towards where Juvia was and Gray immediately put himself in front of her.

"If you value your life, turn around and leave." The Ice Mage snarled. "So far your only crime is that you are nuts, but if you try anything…"

"The Prophecy is clear." The same man said, taking a large urn from a box behind them. "Tonight is the night the Goddess will arise and drown the unfaithful."

"Can we please knock them down now?" Natsu asked. "I'd just love to pound the crazy outta them."

"You and your kind will vanish from this world tonight. Miss Juvia Lockser, we've been waiting for you to be ready for a while now." They couldn't see it, but everyone could almost hear the grin in his voice and that his eyes were at Juvia. "And when we heard you had a child just in time for the Blue Moon… We knew it was our chance."

"Go away." Juvia's voice was cold when she stepped out from behind Gray – of which he protested with a groan. "I will not participate in whichever you have prepared for tonight."

"Oh, you won't have a choice." His voice was wicked and Juvia saw him put the urn on the floor and opening the lid, a bit of a strange dark blue smoke came from inside it. "Bring the child."

Juvia watched in horror as two men with dark blue robes appeared, each holding one arm of her son. His face was red as he screamed, cried and her heart stopped beating for a moment.

"Urian? How?" She whispered to herself. "No. No! Urian!" She took a couple of steps towards where they were holding him, his cries louder every second that passed but two strong wrapping themselves around her. "Let me go! Urian!" In the back of her mind, she could hear thunder as her magic make heavy clouds appear.

"Juvia?" It was Gray's voice, but she ignored him completely while she watched the man in white clothes draw a dagger from his belt and before she could do anything else, she saw blood coming from the cut on his throat and then his crying stopped.

To her, it was as if the world stopped as his white shirt got tainted with red. Despair and pain overcame her, a thousand times worse than the time Gray died right in front of her eyes. A scream came from deep down her and the sound echoed everywhere at the same time a wave of magic left her, there were no more arms around her and she fell down to her knees. She screamed again in pure agony when Urian's little body hit the ground. Then she screamed again, again and again.

#

Gray was thrown back with the force of Juvia's magic and her screams sent cold down his spine because he has never heard those sounds coming out from her before. It was every sound of torment combined together. It started to rain so much no one could see further than two feet away.

"What the hell…?" Gray heard Natsu say from behind him and the Ice Mage got on his feet. "Gray! What the hell happened?"

"She just… went off!" The Ice Mage told his friend and tried to get closer to Juvia, but the waves of magic coming from Juvia were too strong and she still didn't stop screaming. "Juvia! Fuck, Juvia, listen to me!"

"She is ready." Gray heard the guy with the white robes yell to his crazy friends. "We opened her heart. It is time to call Calypso!" The crazies cheered and started to chant some nonsense.

"I thought Juvia would have to be at the same state of mind for this to go down!" Lucy said and Gray remembered the last thing she spoke: their son's name.

"Warren!" Gray called his friend and when she saw the dark haired man between their friends. "Warren, can you get in Juvia's mind to see what the hell is she thinking?"

"Sure thing." He put two fingers on his temple and a few seconds later, he gasped and looked at Gray with his eyes wide. "Oh, shit. Gray, they made her… they got into her head and made her see Urian dying."

The Ice Mage became pale and his eyes got wider – of course Juvia was leashing out, she had just seen their son die. "Fuck." He said. "If she thinks he died, those crazy people will try to perform the ritual." He looked to his friends. "We need to take down whoever used that magic on her." They nodded. "I'll try to talk to her."

As everyone from Fairy Tail ran towards the men, Gray tried to get closer to Juvia, but the waves of magic coming out of her were pushing him back a bit with every step he took towards her, plus, the water from the rain wasn't making it any easier for him to see, but what he could see worried him.

There was a dark blue smoke surrounding Juvia and for the life of him, at one point, it seemed as if the smoke took the form of a woman floating around the blunette and he felt his blood turn cold at the sight. Was that…? No. It couldn't be.

Juvia was on her knees, arms around herself while she cried and screamed the lost of their son. Gray never felt such pain in his life than seeing the woman he loved in such state. He needed to tell her what she saw was a fabrication, Urian was safe.

With difficulty, Gray managed to approach her enough to hear whispers around her, coming from the blue smoke: "He is dead. You didn't protect him and now he is dead." The voice was cold and it sounded like a hiss from a snake. "Say 'yes' and we will destroy the world. Everyone will pay for what they did." The voice said. "Let me help you get revenge."

He saw Juvia reach for the smoke and touch it, an even stronger wave of magic almost made Gray fall on the ground. Knowing it was bad news, Gray used his magic to create a long sword and with all the strength he had, he waved it and the blade went right through the smoke. There was a loud hiss and Gray did the same thing two more times before the smoke got farther away from them.

"Juvia." Gray kneeled in front of her, grabbed one of her hands, the one she touched the smoke with and squeezed it. "Juvia, look at me." All the blunette could do, was sob and tightened her arm around her stomach. They were soaked to the bone – Gray never witnessed such strong storm –, around them their friends fought but at the moment, he couldn't help them: he had to make her remember Urian was fine. "Juvia, Urian is fine."

Juvia shook her head. "He is dead. Oh my god, my baby is dead." She sobbed. "I couldn't do anything and now he is dead."

"No, no, no." Gray touched her cheek. "Juvia, it is all in your head, they made you see that, but is not true. Urian is not even in Magnolia." He tried, but she shook her head. "Goddamit, Juvia, look at me." He yelled at her and cupped her face, raising it so she could look at him. "If Urian were dead, Juvia, I'd let you destroy the world. Hell, I'd help you do it. But he is not dead." He saw a glimpse of hope in her eyes. "Right now, he is fine; whatever you saw, it's not true. But if you let it consume you, you'll give them what they want."

"He is alive?" Juvia asked him.

"Yes." The rain around them softened a bit, but didn't go away. "What you saw was only inside your head. Our son is alive." Gray saw the moment she believed in him because her whole body went limp and she threw herself into his arms, crying, but that time in relief.

"No!" The smoke around them hissed and suddenly Gray felt something wrap itself around his throat, squeezing it so hard he couldn't breathe. He tried to get it off of him, but his hands just went through it. Juvia let him go and even in his despair of trying to breathe, he saw her eyes narrow in anger.

He watched as she got up, used her magic to make a wall with water in front of her. Gray had almost lost consciousness when she used the water from the wall to create small projectiles and then, she was 'firing' them and Gray could breathe again – it appeared her aim was pretty flawless.

"First you make me think my son is dead and now you tried to kill my husband?" Juvia yelled at the blue smoke as she used her water to attack it. "You will not have my help, you bitch." The smoke hissed with each attack until it went back to the urn it came off. "Try the next Blue Moon in a thousand years." Juvia kicked the urn. Gray sighed in relief when he saw his Juvia was back. She seemed to remembered about him and quickly went to her knees in front of him. "Oh, Gray-sama… Are you alright?"

"Yes." He nodded, a hand on his throat. "Glad you are yourself again."

She paled. "If you had seen what Juvia saw…"

"Hey, hey, hey." Gray touched her cheek. "I'm not blaming you. If it had been me, I'd made the whole town freeze."

Juvia paled once more and got up from the ground. She walked towards the end of the docks, Gray following her, noticing how their friends had everything under control, and once they reached the end of the docks, Juvia gasped. "Oh, no."

"What is it?" Gray asked.

"Look." Juvia pointed down and all he saw was the ocean floor for almost a mile. Gray frowned and she explained it to him. "When Juvia touched that… smoke, Calypso… she used my magic to… do this." She pointed to the ground.

"And what exactly is 'this'?"

"She summoned a tsunami." She looked at the horizon. "And it's coming." Gray looked at the direction Juvia was looking and his breath got caught in his throat to what he saw with the light from the Blue Moon. "Juvia needs to go there and stop it." She took a step, but Gray caught her by the hand.

"No." He shook his head.

"Gray-sama, Juvia is the one who summoned that."

"What we need to do is go to high ground and take as many people as we can."

She shook her head. "Juvia can stop that wave so Magnolia is not underwater in the morning. People would lose everything."

"You have been releasing magic ever since they made you see Urian dying. You must be exhausted by now."

"It doesn't matter, Juvia can take care of that. It's the least Juvia can do." She said. "We are losing time here, Gray-sama."

"What is going on?" Gray heard Erza's voice coming from behind them and when they turned around, most of their friends were there.

"There's a tsunami coming." Juvia said and there was a general gasp and everyone tried to look at the horizon. "Juvia can stop it." She turned to Gray. "Juvia will stop it." It seemed as he if was going to try to stop her once again, but she kissed his lips lightly and whispered to him: "Remember what you promised me."

Knowing the fight was lost, Gray sighed and rested his forehead on hers. "You better come back."

"Always." She smiled. Juvia turned to where Natsu was with Happy on his head and say to the blue cat: "Happy-san, could you give Juvia a ride?"

"Aye!"

"Take as many people away from here, Juvia will try to not do any damage at all, but we never know." She spoke to Erza, who nodded and with a final look to her friends and the man she loved before Happy flew her away.

#

"Are you sure you want to stay here, Juvia?" Happy asked her. Juvia stood in front of a large wave, which was coming fast. She panicked a little when she couldn't change her body into water, but pushed the thought away: she summoned the wave, she could slow it down.

"Yes, Happy-san." Juvia smiled to the cat. "Juvia is fine."

"Well, I am scared." The cat admitted. "I'll stay flying over waiting for you to call me to bring you back."

"Thank you." She watched as he flew away and she could feel the pull of the water, the way the wave got closer. She dove and closed her eyes, gathering all of her energy – that was a strong one and it would take everything in her to stop it – she was so tired, so, so tired, but she couldn't let a wave summoned by her power to let destroy the place she met the love of her life, the place she had her son, the place she found her family.

She would save the town for her son.

The memory of his blue curls bouncing, dark eyes just like Gray's and the most sweet laughter while Gray threw him up in the air and caught him up again, Gray with a smile of his own, his gaze full of love for their son.

They would be alright, she thought, before starting to slow down the wave.

#

From the shore, Gray watched as the wave slowed down and shrank in size, he breathed in relief, knowing that the most if could happen now would be a bit of a flood, but even so, he wouldn't rest until Juvia was back. Hell, he'd only feel better once Urian was back and the three of them were back at his apartment.

They really needed another place to live. Preferably a house, so Uri could have a place to run like he did back in the past.

When the wave finally hit shore, it came to Gray's waist but didn't invade the town, to which he was grateful. Juvia would be glad to hear that; the people who tried to take Juvia were contained and the urn, was secured.

As time passed, Gray grew impatient when he couldn't see Happy bringing Juvia back. He could see the cat flying around, but without Juvia and suddenly he felt a bad feeling going down his spine.

"Something's wrong." Gray whispered to himself. He was about to make a way with his ice towards where she was, when he spot Happy carrying her and he sighed in relief.

"Is she coming back?" Lucy asked, Natsu and Erza by her side as they stood next to him.

"It seems so." Gray nodded. "I have a bad feeling."

"Don't think this way." Lucy took his hand on hers. "She is fine."

"She had used too much magic while she thought Urian was dead, and she did summon that tsunami and then stopped it, and I…"

"You are worried, we understand." The blonde squeezed his hand. "But everything will be alright."

"I hope so."

They stayed in silence, watching as Happy flew both back and as soon as they could see it better, they noticed Juvia's unconscious form and Gray's heart stopped for a moment.

'Oh, god, don't let her be dead', he thought.

Gray reached for her when Happy was close enough to the ground and his friends asking about how was she were forgotten when he got her in his arms. She was so cold, unmoving.

"Juvia, don't you dare do this to me." He whispered, trying to feel her pulse. "Don't you dare leave me." It took him a moment, but he finally found a very light heartbeat. He took her into his arms and ran to the hospital.

#

Gray was pacing around the room while Polyuska took a look at Juvia – the doctor had already examined her and said that he didn't find anything wrong with her physically, so, whatever it was that made her fall unconscious, had to be out of his knowledge, which meant it was of a magical source.

The old woman was working alongside with Wendy, who was trying her best to understand what was happening to Juvia and all Gray could think was how he would do with his life if she didn't wake up, if he had to raise their son on their own. He couldn't see himself doing that alone. He just couldn't. She needed to wake up.

"I don't understand how she's solid." Polyuska's voice was full of curiosity and Gray stepped closer to them.

"What do you mean?"

"Her magic center is scattered." The pink haired woman said without preamble. "She should've turned into water and lost at sea."

"Polysuka-san!" Wendy reprimanded the older woman when Gray paled.

"It is the truth." Polyuska shrugged. "What she does, changing her whole body into water, it is dangerous." She turned to Gray. "She needs to have a certain amount of magic to gather her body together, but she seems to be at her very limit."

"We've been on the limit before."

"Oh, no, you have not." Polyuska snorted. "The worse I've seen you human fairies, you were at about… ten percent of your magic and that's pretty risky. This one," she pointed at Juvia "is at one percent and even so, her magic center is all over the place. Who knows how long it will be until it is back together again."

"Her… magic center?" Gray frowned, trying to understand.

Wendy was the one who answered it. "Every Mage has one, it's between the lungs and just above the heart. Whenever a Mage goes too far over, it scatter and it takes months to pull it back together on their own. Some never do."

"What does that mean to Juvia?"

"When you become a Mage, you unite your magic to your life force." Wendy bit her lower lip. "At this moment… she's at one percent, just like Polyuska-san said."

Gray took a few deep breaths, trying to contain the fear inside him. "Alright. What do we do now?"

"Find whatever made her stay solid and strengthen it." Polyuska said.

"What about her scattered center?"

The old woman gave him a look. "She can live without it, but if she changes her body into water, it's over. First we strengthen what is keeping her together, then we rebuild her center."

Gray nodded, feeling better that they had a plan and he watched as both women examined Juvia for a long time and both came up empty about what could be helping her. He looked to the clock on the wall and, even though he didn't want to leave, he needed to call Lyon to let him know it was safe for Urian to come back home.

"I'm… I'm sorry, I need to use the Lachryma for a second, to let them know our son can return to Magnolia." He told the women and was about to turn around and leave when he noticed Polyuska's expression. It was as if she thought of something. "What? What is it?"

"How did I never thought of it before?" She told herself. Her hand glowed and she closed her eyes. She put her hand right on Juvia's stomach and waited. When she opened her eyes, she smiled. "There it is!"

"What? What is it?" Gray asked, a spark of hope lit in his chest.

"I know why she didn't change into water." The pink haired woman told him. "It appears that she is with child."

#

Gray stared blankly at the woman, trying to understand her words. It couldn't be. Urian was barely more than a baby, they couldn't be having another one. She had to be mistaken.

"It can't be." Gray shook his head. "When she was expecting Urian, she could change her body until she was about four or five months, afterwards she decided not to anymore because it could be dangerous."

"Yes, but your first child has affinity with water, does he not?" Polyuska asked and all Gray could think was about how Urian loved to play around the water and how many times Gray thought his son would grow up to be a Water Mage like his mother. "I'll take it as a yes by the look on your face. Well, it appears that this one" she pointed at Juvia's stomach "takes after you. The one percent that holds her together."

He looked at her flat stomach. "But…"

"It is about two months old, if I'm not mistaken, too small to be perceived at my first examination, but strong enough to protect itself by protecting its mother. Marvelous."

Two months. Gray tried to think about a time when they could've conceived a child two months before; it wasn't back in the past because Juvia had had her period a few days before Nhoj reappeared and after that Urian had gotten a little cold and slept between them. When they arrived to their time, they had to get used to the new life and Urian insisted on sleeping with them for days even after they got him his bed. So, when…?

His eyes widened when he made the connection: the day they arrived, they had had a fight and after they cleared the air, Juvia asked him if he wanted to join her at the bathtub and it had been so long since they had the chance, that they took it.

"Oh, god." Gray breathed. It was what kept her alive, that one time the day they arrived. "What do we do now that we know it?"

"We will make it stronger." Polyuska told him. "We are going to make you strengthen it."

"How?" He asked, confused.

"Come over here." She told him and Gray followed. She grabbed his hand and put it right over Juvia's lower stomach. "Keep your hand in there."

"What?"

"It will maintain its strength by putting a person with similar magic as close to it as we can. The longer your hand stays there, the better are the chances."

#

Dawn was breaking when Gray blinked awake; he must've fallen asleep without even realizing it. He raised his head from the mattress Juvia was lying on and noticed that she was just as pale as the night before. There was a bag with water between her breasts; according to Polyuska, it would help her center to return to its place if the was around her element.

Gray, then, looked at his hand across Juvia's stomach and caressed it with his thumb. He looked around, but no one else was around, it was too early. The Ice Mage leaned in and kissed her stomach.

"Thank you." He whispered. "Thank you for keeping her alive." He didn't even try to contain the emotion from his voice. "Now, just hang in there and don't let go and I promise you'll be very loved when you come out. Hell, you are loved now. When she waked up, she'll be delighted. Just… hang in there and you'll have the most amazing mother you could ever ask for. And a big brother who will most likely take you with him at his mission about making us crazy. And me… I'll try my best." Gray smiled. "Hang in there, kid."

During that morning, Wendy came in the room to change the bag of water a few times, telling how it was 'old' and served its purposes. Gray tried his best to keep his hand on her stomach, to keep the unborn child strong. Polyuska, though, didn't like it at all when she visited and Juvia had improved very little.

"The water bags are too slow." She complained. "At this rate she'll be unconscious when she delivers that child!" Gray thought of the horror of it for a moment, but pushed it away; she was going to wake up soon. "We need something else."

Gray thought for a moment and then, it came to him. "Our son is arriving in a few hours." The night before he asked Wendy to call Lamia Scale and Gajeel informed they would take the first train back. "If he does the same thing I do with my hand on her stomach, but over her magic center, will it make it faster? You said he had an affinity with water."

Polyuska thought for a moment. "That might work. It would serve as a beacon for her magic to return to its place. To return it a hundred per cent will take a little while, but if he does it for just enough time so she wakes up… Let's try it."

Hours later, when Wendy entered the room saying she had scented Gajeel's scent not too far away, Gray left Juvia's bedside to greet his son.

The moment he saw the blue haired boy in Gajeel's arms, it seemed as if all the feelings he had tried to suppress for the past few days came as one wave of emotion: he'd been so scared to lose Urian, scared of losing Juvia and trying to hold it all together that when Gajeel put Urian on the ground and the little boy ran to his arms, Gray was crying.

His son was alive. Safe. And now he would help his mother to get better as well. But first, Gray held on to him tight for a long time, just enjoying the feeling of the child's warmth in his arms.

Urian babbled nonsense for awhile but one thing Gray understood right when he said it: Mommy.

With a kiss on the boy's cheek, Gray took him to the room Juvia was and the moment the child saw his mother, he tried to get away from his father's arms and into Juvia's. Quietly, Gray tried to explain that his mother was hurt and he needed to be gentle and good, but he was too young to understand and when Gray put him on the bed, he tried to wake up Juvia.

"Shhh." Gray said. "Your mom is sleeping."

It seemed that Urian understood, because he repeated the words: "Shhhh mommy seeping." And with a nod, he lied down next to her, snuggling close to her and soon, he also fell asleep – according to Gajeel and Levy, he had trouble sleeping in such strange environment. Gray moved Urian to lie on top of Juvia instead, careful to not put any weight on her lower abdomen and he watched the most precious people of his life, sleep.

Later, when Polyuska made her visit, Urian was still napping on top of her and the moment the woman examined Juvia, she smiled; it appeared that Urian would be the perfect beacon for Juvia's center to recover.

The problem, though, happened when Urian woke up. He was an active child, he wanted to run around and had no idea how much it would mean for him to just lie next to his mother. Gray couldn't fault him for being a normal child.

"We can take care of him, Gray, if you want to stay at the hospital with Juvia." Mirajane said when their friends were visiting. "None of us would mind."

Gray looked at Juvia's unconscious form and was tempted to accept it – he didn't want to leave her side – but her words popped inside his mind: "If something happens to me, you need to make his necessities your priority. Forget about me, all that matters is him."

"I'll take him home." Gray gulped and grabbed Juvia's hand. "Polyuska said that Urian helped a lot by just taking his nap next to her, the water bags will have to do during the night. His routine has been altered enough these past few days, we will go home tonight and tomorrow we will come back when he is due for his nap." He said, not mentioning the pregnancy: he felt Juvia needed to know about it first. "Juvia made me promise to make his priorities, my own. So, we go home. She's much better today."

His friends nodded and Mirajane volunteered to stay the night with Juvia, then, if not with Urian and Gray thanked her; he'd hate Juvia to be alone even if she was not awake.

Leaving the hospital was hard, but Gray kissed Juvia's lips and Urian gave his mother a big one on her cheek and gave her good-bye. Gray hated to leave her and he had to remind himself a million times their son had priority.

Arriving at the apartment, Urian got really excited about going home again, trying to grab all his toys at the same time and Gray chuckled whenever the boy took one and another fell from his hands. He heated dinner for them, fed Urian and then told the toddler it was time for a bath and then to go to bed.

"Bath!" Urian clapped his hand in happiness and went running to the bedroom while Gray put the dirty plates away, chuckling at his reaction. A few moments later, Urian returned to the kitchen, a cute frown on his face.

"What is it, little man?" Gray kneeled in front of his son.

"Mommy?" Urian tilted his head to the side in question, and his curls, just like Juvia's, moved.

"Sorry, kiddo, just you and I for a couple of days." Gray took his son into his arms and got up from the floor. "I miss her too, but I think we can make it work for a while, huh?" The boy's frown deepen. "How about that bath now? With all your rubber ducks?"

"Duckies!" The boy cheered and seemed to forget about where Juvia was for a few moments.

Taking care of a child on his own was quite a challenge, Gray noticed, and he'd have to give Juvia much more credit for taking such good care of their son. It had been ten days since the Blue Moon and Juvia had still to wake up, but she was getting glowing reports from Polyuska – apparently Urian napping every afternoon on top of Juvia's magic center made the process go much, much faster than only the water bags would. Their unborn child no longer had the job of making Juvia's body stay together: she was strong enough to do it on her own.

Their children had saved her life (one was less than two years and the other wasn't even born yet: oh, the things they could do once they were older…) and by consequence, his own – he wouldn't know how to move on without her.

On the tenth day, Gray and Urian left the apartment to the hospital, like they had been doing every day and the boy had been babbling the whole way while his father nodded in agreement to whatever he was speaking.

The moment they entered Juvia's room, though, Gray froze when he saw the bed empty. What happened? Did they take her to have some tests? Did she suddenly get worse? Oh, god… did she…?

"Urian?"

Gray spun to the direction of the voice so fast he probably distended some muscle. There, by the door of the small bathroom, stood Juvia in her hospital gown and using the IV support to stay up.

"Mommy!" Urian cheered, trying to weasel his way away from his father's arms into the ground and when he finally was put to the ground, he ran to his mother, who kneeled and was clearly crying.

"Oh, my baby." Juvia whispered and kissed the top of the boy's head. "Oh, mommy missed you so much my darling."

All Gray could do was stare at her and Urian's reunion, trying to figure out if he was awake or if it was one of his traitors' dreams, where he had her back only to wake up and find out she was still at the hospital.

"Gray-sama?" Gray blinked when he heard his name and saw that she was looking at him, waiting for some reaction from him. Well, far from him to disappoint her.

"You just had to go, save the day and almost give me a heart-attack, didn't you?" His eyes stung when she offered him a big smile – he had almost lost that beautiful of hers forever – and then he kneeled next to their son and embraced them both. "You worried me too much, you stupid woman."

"I'm sorry." She whispered.

"It's fine." Gray touched her forehead with his and kissed her lips. "As long as you are here, it's fine." He tried to dry the stray tears that fell down his cheek. "Now come on up, you still need to go to bed and rest. You just spent ten days in some sort of magical coma." He gently pulled Urian away from her to help her up.

"Ten days?" She gasped.

"Yeah." Gray led her to the bed, pulling the IV with him and Urian was right next to her. "That's what happens when you use most of your magic to summon and then to stop a tsunami." He watched as she sat on the bed and put Urian next to her – the boy was almost taking off Gray's pants with all the grabbing for attention to stay next to the person he loved the most in the world.

"I'm sorry." She told him and kissed Urian's cheek when he threw his arms around her shoulders and snuggled next to her. "I needed to."

"I know." Gray grabbed her hand and sat on the bed, facing her. "Just… let' not do this again?"

"Let's." She giggled and Gray started to tell her what had happened during the past days, about how the urn was now at the depths of the ocean (Freed made sure it was not to be opened for another millennia), the members of the cult were scattered and how a good boy Urian was during the time they spent without her.

"I fulfilled my promise." He told her. "I put him first."

"Thank you." Juvia smiled and put a hand on his cheek. "You were the perfect father he needed you to be." Gray hummed in agreement, his head tilting a bit to the side, towards her hand. "Juvia can't wait to be home."

Remembering about her new pregnancy, Gray smiled at her. "I've been looking into some bigger houses."

"Well, this little man here is getting too big to share a bedroom with his parents." She tickled Urian's belly and the boy laughed.

"Yeah, there's that." The Ice Mage agreed. "But, we are going to need much more space in about seven months or so. Let me explain exactly how you survived that loss of magic…."

AN: Here it is, the final end of the story. It was supposed to be done by chapter two, but I just couldn't resist it. I hope I didn't spoil it for anyone, eh?

Well, the priests were a bit weak, right? Maybe Fairy Tail is just that strong (as we are seeing they are) and so was Calypso, but we have to take in consideration that she was a bunch of smoke and needed Juvia's consent to enter her body (just like the demons from Supernatural), plus, one touch from her and Juvia summoned that tsunami. She was weak in her smoke form, that's why Gray could make it go away, but if she had gotten in Juvia? Bye bye world.

Let me try to explain a bit what happened about Juvia getting pregnant: Nhoj told them they needed to come back to their time two weeks after they left, right? Well, by then Juvia already had Urian and, just like I said in this chapter, she had had her period a few days before Nhoj's arrival and by the first day they were back, she was in her fertile period, exactly in time for Gray to get her pregnant enough so two months later when she almost used all of her magic to stop the tsunami, she wouldn't have her body scattered in the water. So, it saved her life. Urian having an affinity to water was also a way to help her stay alive. So, yeah, Nhoj predicted all of that. Timey wimey stuff you get once you become a Whovian. HAHA
