Chapter 6

Laxus looked away and was silent for several minutes but Mira didn't seem to mind. I don't really think she was expecting an answer. They arrived at the ice cream shop and they both ordered a lemon cone before Laxus guided her to a nearby park bench. They ate in comfortable silence, Laxus even had his arm around Mira's shoulders as he gazed at the stars above slowly eating his frozen treat.

"It's hard to explain, I guess I can try. If you really want me to?" Laxus looked back down at Mira as she was finishing her cone, his had hardly been touched. She looked up at him with her big kind eyes and nodded content to lean on his shoulder and watch him talk.

"Well you know I'm a dragon slayer even though I used lacrima to become one." he stated watching her and she nodded up at him resting her head back on his shoulder to wait for him to continue. "Well, even though I never had a dragon parent like the others I still have some of their instincts. It's so hard to explain, believe it or not I had to ask Natsu and Gajeel about it and they were gone for so long..." he just stopped unsure of what to tell next. He looked into Mira's eyes as if he was searching for the answer there.

"Mira will you be my mate?" he breathed out almost like he couldn't think properly.

"Your what?" Mira asked slightly confused. She had straightened back up and was now looking at him putting some distance between them. I saw Laxus notice and frowned slightly.

"My mate, it's difficult to explain I guess. Basically I'm asking if you will marry me, but in the dragon way not the human way." Laxus had looked away already looking disappointed. So he couldn't see what I was seeing. I saw as Mira's face lit up only freezing for a moment before jumping up startling Laxus.

"Yes! Oh my Mavis! How is it done? Do I do anything special? Does it hurt? Should I talk to one of the other already mated-" Mira was cut off by Laxus grabbing her and kissing her passionately. At first she was shocked but then she relaxed into it and quickly kissed him back.

"Mine," Laxus whispered before picking her up princess style and running off towards his house. It took several minutes to find his house because we lost sight of him but when we did they were already very busy. It took what seemed like forever but when they passed out I could just barely make out Mira's mark from the window. A twin lightening bolt with bat like wings. Odd but okay, I shrug to Lily and we fly off.

One more couple to go. Lily and I went to our own homes agreeing to meet again in the morning. Erza was not going to be easy. Carla was pleased with our progress making me a very happy Exceed.

The sun was shining as I flew alongside my mate to the guild. I stopped here and there whenever I saw some pretty flower to pluck for her. She would just happily sigh as if she couldn't be happier, I couldn't help beaming with each smile she gave me.

I was just sitting her at the bar when Master came running searching for Mira. Oops I guess I didn't think that part through. "Where could she be? She is never late for her shift!" He muttered looking around.

Just then Lily came flying in with an envelope in hand. "Master," he bowed his head slightly before handing him the envelope. I read over his shoulder; Gramps, sorry Mira will be with me for a few weeks and wont be able to come to the guild. Good news when we return.

I looked up at Master's face to see him beaming. I crack a grin, he already knows. But I wont tell him. "Master where is Mira?" I ask him instead bringing him back down to earthland from his fantasies of great grandbabies.

He composed himself before saying something along the lines of her going on a mission and wouldn't be back for a while. I kind of rolled my eyes at him and he glared at me. But now it was time to work on the hardest nuts to crack, Erza and Jellal.

I look over at them, Erza is sitting down eating on a strawberry cake nothing new there. Behind her I could see Jellal standing against the wall. Ever since the queen pardoned him he joined the guild and that was great but he still acted like such a loner all the time.

I get up and fly over to Erza, thankfully both Natsu and Gray are not here at the moment so she might actually finish her cake in relative peace. "Hey, Erza!" I call out before I land next to her.

She just blinked at me for a moment looked around and then at me again. "Hello Happy. How are you today?" she asked taking another bite of her cake.

I don't want your cake I want to yell at her but whatever. "I was wanting to know if you would be willing to go on a date with someone I know?" I asked her loud enough that Jellal clearly heard me. Judging from the look on his face he is not happy about it either.

"Someone wants to go on a date with me? Why don't they just ask me themselves?" she asked raising an eyebrow at me. She was not happy at all.

I held my hands up in surrender and when she took another bite I continued. "There is someone I want to set up on a blind date. They don't know that it is you." I could see her calming down as I spoke. "He is always by himself and I thought that a date could maybe open him up a bit."

She seemed to think it over a bit, I could see her visibly fighting the urge to turn back and look at Jellal and he was pale with fear. My guess is that he didn't expect her to think about it at all. Erza suddenly nodded and smiled at me, "Okay, I'll go but what kind of date will it be if he doesn't even know he is going on it yet?"

"Oh I will let him know soon. I was going to send you two to the cafe down the street they are having a cake sampler today. So be sure to eat real food before you go." I smile at her as I see her eyes light up.

I could also see Jellal deflate at hearing it all, he started walking to the door and I followed him. When we were both outside I landed on his shoulder making him jump. "So I think I set you two up pretty good for a first date don't you think so?" I smiled proud of myself.

"Wha-" he started.

"It's not like there is just anyone who could pull off a date with Erza. You better just go and buy a ring now and give it to her tonight." I sigh before leaning towards his ear to whisper, "You want her to be happy right?"

He stared at me blankly and then understanding seemed to dawn on him as his eyes grew wide. I smiled again, "good." before I flew away again.

I go back inside and tend to Carla. She is starting to get rather large now and seems to be having trouble getting around. "How are you? I just got fresh cup of your favorite." I tell her trying to help her.

She gives me an evil look before asking, "Did you get it done yet?"

I smile before responding, "They have a date tonight at the cafe with the cake sampler." I wait for her to smile and add, "Do you want anything? Are you comfortable?"

She sighed and nodded her head, "I'm just tired, I'm sorry."

"Come on let's get you back home then. I can worry about the details later and Wendy was going to come over in a little while anyway." I help her up just as Wendy came in the doorway out of breath. Geeze now what?

"Carla! I'm so happy I didn't miss you. I never see you anymore." Wendy came practically flying to us. Well unexpected but not bad thankfully. I ended up just huffing a bit bored.

"Happy why don't you go ahead and get started with your plans? Wendy will take me, you don't have to worry." Carla purred sweetly. I frown a bit but agree anyway.

I fly over to Lily after kissing her goodbye and Wendy happily dotting on her. Well it is Wendy so that is only to be expected, I guess. I watch from beside Lily and he looks between me and them, before dragging me out behind him.

It's not long before we find Gray and Juvia walking around the park holding hands. Lily and I stop and watch for a while making sure things are going well and of course they are. I really don't understand how it took them so long to get together in the first place. It's really kind of sad.

After another minute or two of watching them we take off to find Erza and Jellal. It takes a minute but we find Erza looking at different armors and dresses browsing through the different materials. Well that was boring but I do notice her looking at a few cute outfits as well. Hmmm maybe this will work out?

Lily and I take off to the cake shop and I make sure everything is ready. The owner was a little upset until he found out that the Erza Scarlett was coming to his shop on a date. He excitedly started putting Lily and I to work making several extra cakes as well.

When it was finally time Lily and I made our escape to the guild where the two were supposed to meet. Erza was already there in a deep purple dress that went to her knees and we could see Jellal coming as well in a nice suit.

"So I finally get to meet my blind date huh?" Erza laughed when she saw us unable to see Jellal yet. "I hope we have fun." She smiled.

Lily is the one who introduced Jellal as her date and she looks absolutely shocked yet happy and scared at the same time. Lily and I watched from a distance as they went from table to table and laughed as the music played and I even saw Jellal ask her to dance. Which a few other couples saw and imitated as well. So now the cake sampling was a dance. I can't stop just gaping at them.

For someone who is constantly punishing himself he is doing a great job wooing Erza. After several hours of this going on even the store owner can't seem to help but be a good host. It was well after sunset when they left the shop and Jellal was taking Erza home; that we could finally hear what was going on.

"This has been great, we should do it again?" Erza sighed leaning against Jellal's shoulder. Then she must have realised what she said and did because she visibly jumped and started stammering, "Well, I mean. You know."

Jellal laughed and kissed her under a street light and when he slowly pulled away, "I'm sorry did I go to far?" She shook her head no earning herself another smile. "Can I do it again?" Again Erza nodded and he kissed her slowly in a way that looked like it could stop time itself.

When they pulled away this time Jellal held her close. "Erza, I have spent a lot of time hating and hurting myself." He glanced away for a moment and after only a second he looked to her again. "Will you marry me? I know I don't deserve it. I know I don't deserve to be happy and I certainly don't deserve to be with you but I love you." I was kind of expecting some great big grand gesture but honestly this just seems better.

"Yes!" Erza screamed throwing her arms around his neck kissing him again. I bit anticlimactic but I look at Lily next to me in the tree and we touch knuckles before flying away. Staying only long enough to watch Jellal put a ring on her finger.

We fly out separate ways after reaching the guild and I go home to find Carla screaming. She was laying our egg, which was a light purple color. Thankfully Wendy was here so she helped heal Carla before laying her down to rest.

Over the next several weeks while we waited for our egg to hatch Gray and Juvia got married and so did Erza and Jellal. In fact they were already back from their honeymoons and we were all hanging out at the guild when our egg started to move.

"Hurry the baby's coming!" I screamed and Carla laughed kissing me on the cheek and Lucy and Natsu gathered close. I sat on Natsu's lap as Carla sat on Wendy's and we insisted that Lucy hold our egg between us.

A solid lavender purple baby kitten finally broke the egg shell apart and looked between all five of us. And after hugging Carla and I turned back to Lucy.

She pointed at her and said very clearly where the whole guild could hear her, "Five babies!" She turned to Levy and pointed at her, "Three babies!" And turned to Juvia, "Two babies!" Erza, "One baby!" Mira, "Three babies!" And lastly she pointed at Wendy, "Six babies!" Everyone was shocked silent. A new born baby just told us how many babies we were having... I guess that's Fairy Tail for you. I guess the name Destiny was a good one?

That's our story, the end!
