Natsu and Gray sat at a table with Team Natsu; along with Gajeel and Levy. They sat reminiscing about the twins that were currently running around with Asuka. 

*-4 years ago-*

"Okay, get ready to push. 1, 2, 3" 

Gray winced as Natsu squeezed his hand and screamed in pain. 

"Good job." Her head slammed back and she already had tears in her eyes.

 "It's okay, don't worry. Soon, we'll see her." 

"Him." She corrected with a smile. 

"We'll see." 

"Okay, 1, 2, 3!" 

She gripped his hand and he winced one again. But this time, it was more from the scream of agony and pain that came from her mouth. 

"Geez, Natsu who knew you could grip that tight." He said teasingly. 

"Shut up, just help me through this. Some supporter you are." 

He kissed her hand before she was instructed to push. 

Waiting room: 

Practically the whole guild was waiting to see their newest member. They heard Natsu's scream every 20-30 seconds, to where they all winced. But, when they heard a baby's cry, they thought it was the end. But, little did they know, they had a little while more to go. 

Delivery room: 

Natsu fell back, but was still having contractions. The midwife handed the baby to the nurse and told Natsu to push again. Gray was confused, but still held her hand. She pushed and let out another tear-filled scream. After 4 more pushes, she finally fell back and took a deep breath. She was then handed two babies that cried on her chest. 

"Congratulations, you two! You have twins!" 

They both smiled down at their children. Gray crouched down and rested his head on her shoulder. 

"I bet at least one's a girl." He said with determination. She giggled and laid her head on his as he gently petted their heads. 

"Would you mind if we took them to get them cleaned? Mr. Fullbuster, you can come with, if you'd like." 

Natsu handed them, one at a time, to Gray. 

"Take care of them, Gray!" Her hoarse voice called out to him. He nodded with a big smile and walked back. Natsu sat up a bit more and got out their baby blankets, pacifiers, and outfits. Good thing they got clothes for boys and girls. He came back with a big smile and two sleeping babies. 

"How'd it go?"

"Good." 

She smiled and he handed her one. She dressed their boy, and he dressed their girl. After they were dressed, they were then swaddled in blankets and given their pacifiers. Then, soon after, they were moved to a different room. Gray sat in a hospital chair by Natsu's bed when a nurse came in and instructed Natsu on how to feed them. 

"There you go, honey. You'll know when they're done, okay?" 

She nodded and thanked her. While that nurse left, another nurse entered. 

"Excuse me, ma'am, but you have  quite a few guests. Are you sure you would like for them to come in?" 

"Uh, yeah, let 'em rip." She said with a small laugh. The nurse left and came back after a few minutes with a knock on the door. Natsu looked down at the twins and noticed that the nurse was right. They slowly started to stop. She handed their girl to Gray and closed her gown; calling for them to come in when she had it mostly closed. They walked in and saw an exhausted Momma and oddly happy Papa. 

"Hey, you two!" Lucy called to them as she let everyone else in. 

"Hey, why are there two?" Wendy asked. 

"Well, they must've been side by side in the ultrasounds, because we saw one." Gray said with a laugh. Mira smiled at the two. 

"Have you seen their eyes, yet?" 

Natsu shook her head.

"Not yet, but I'm really curious." 

As if on cue, Gray saw her eyes open for the first time. 

"Natsu, look." He whispered. She looked to the baby he held as her eyes opened; revealing what Natsu called 'an art'. Her left eye was blue, and her right eye was green, and her black and pink hair poked out from the bottom of her beanie. Natsu leaned her head on Gray's. 

"See? Told you we made art." 

He playfully rolled his eyes and the rest of the guild laughed. Right then, the other decided to open his eyes; revealing he also had opposite colored eyes. Except his left eye was green, and his right was blue; his pink and black spikes poking out like his sister's. 

"They're the perfect mix of you guys!" Lucy exclaimed. They smiled before Natsu made a gesture Gray didn't expect so early. 

"Do you wanna hold him, Luce?" 

She nodded. As Lucy held him in her arms. 

"So, boy or girl?" 

"The one you've got is a boy, and Gray's holding his long-awaited baby girl." Natsu giggled with her head still on Gray's. 

"He'll be a great man." Elfman declared proudly. Everyone was laughing eventually, Gray let someone hold his daughter first, besides him and Natsu, but trusted one person to do the honor. 

"Juvia?" He asked. Natsu already knew what he was doing as she stepped out of the crowd of people. 

"You wanna hold her?" 

She looked surprised as her raincloud vanished. 

"Really?" 

"Yeah, you wanna hold her?" 

She smiled and nodded. 

"Uhm, yeah, sure." 

He stood up and for once, they realized how much taller he was. Then, they realized that the two in front of them weren't the bratty kids, or arguing teenagers they knew anymore. Now, they were young adults with a family of their own, now. After a while, and a lot of musical baby, the twins started to get hungry and the nurse told them that visiting hours were over. When they'd left, Natsu fed them, and she and Gray rocked them to sleep.

"Mommy! Seiichi gave me a haircut!!" The whole guild froze and turned to the kids. Seiichi stood behind a now short-haired Sayuri with scissiors, and Asuka with a brush and comb. Natsu, Alzack, and Bisca all groaned and Gray cried anime tears.
