Gajeel opened his eyes and took in the sight before him. There laid Levy in the dark, wearing only a shirt of his, hugging his waist in a peaceful slumber. Despite the fact that she had a little drool on the edge of her mouth and her hair was dishevelled, she looked gorgeous. Gajeel still found it hard to believe that they had been together for almost 6 months, and his shrimp had fully accepted him as her boyfriend. No surprise there, considering what he did to her in the past. However, what was troubling him the past few nights was the fact that his mate was... different. She was always running to the toilet and was sleeping more often that usual. Not to mention the fact that her smell was off. She still smelled like his Levy but something more. Like it was infused with another scent. He had urged her to visit Wendy to check if she was sick but she brushed him off saying that it was only stress. She seemed to be hiding something from him too.

Levy groaned alittle and stuffed her face deeper into him embrace in her sleep.

She couldn't be... planning to leave him? He gave himself a mental kick in the head for thinking that. Gajeel was no Juvia when it came to insecurity - that woman was still insisting Lucy was her love rival despite the fact that Natsu and her were 3months engaged - but Levy was an important part of his life. He shrugged off the feeling of vulnerability and tried to go back to sleep. He was probably thinking too much. Sheesh, shrimp was starting to make him all mushy and girly.

The next day at the guild, while Levy was gathered together with the girls gossiping, a distressed Gajeel was slumping in a corner, downing his beer. Levy had coldly rejected him when said he wanted some "naughty time" with her. His brain felt that maybe she just wasn't up for it but his heart kept nudging him uncomfortably.

"THATS IT" he roared, scaring a few guildmates sitting near him and stomped over to where Levy was and picked her up unceremoniously by the scruff of her neck. "We need to talk." he simply said before throwing a surprised Levy over his shoulders and walked out of the guild.

"Gajeel.. stop that!" Levy screamed, surprised at his roughness.

"I'm going crazy over here and I know you're hiding something from me so out with it!" Gajeel said. He knew he was being alittle too fierce but the suspense was killing him.

Levy was torn. She knew she couldn't avoid it anymore but she dreaded his reaction if she told him the truth. She had successfully avoided the topic for the past week, changing the subject and making excuses but she could tell his patience was wearing thin.

With a sigh, she said, "Gajeel, I'm pregnant."
