"Argh" I screamed the pain becoming to much.

"Stay strong Freed" Laxus said holding my hand

"Okay Mr Justine are you ready to start pushing again?" The doctor asked me I nodded breathing in and out to try and ease the pain.

"Okay... and push" the doctor said I used the last bit of my energy to give one last push.

"Ugh" I cried then relaxed against the bed smiling as I heard a babies cry.

"Freed my Prince you did it" Laxus said

"Congratulations Mr Justine, Mr Dreyar on your new baby girl" the doctor said handing me over my precious baby.

I looked down at mine and Laxus's baby she had green eyes like me and blonde hair like Laxus. I smiled and let out a sigh of exhaustion.

"Look honey it's our baby girl" I said handing her to Laxus. Laxus carefully took her and smiled.

"What should we call her?" He asked me

"I don't know" I said trying to keep the exhaustion out of my voice. "Well I remember you liking the name Freya so...?"

"It's perfect" I said smiling

Laxus grinned kissing my forehead then said "Welcome to our family Freya Justine-Dreyar"

I pulled Laxus closer to me and whispered "I'm the luckiest man in the world"

"How much longer?" I yelled squeezing Natsu's hand

"Just a bit longer keep pushing" Natsu said kissing my forehead

"Can we switch bodies?" I said pouting

"If we could I would" he said "but you've just got to keep pushing"

I squeezed his hand trying to make the little shit feel the pain I was feeling. I pushed groaning in pain.

"Good Job Mr Fullbuster keep pushing" the doctor said to me. I nodded pushing harder. Just a little bit longer I told myself.

"That's it Gray keep pushing" I heard Natsu's voice say I gathered all my energy and gave one more push.

I let out a huge sigh of relief as the doctor handed me my baby boy. I felt hot tears prick at my eyes.

"Hey shhh shh don't cry my snowflake" Natsu said sitting down on the edge of my bed. "It's our baby boy" I whispered smiling

I looked down at him he had my hair and had onyx eyes that reminded me of Natsu's.

"He looks just like you" Natsu said "He has your eyes" I replied

"Why don't we call him Yuki?" Natsu suggested

I smiled 'Yuki' meant snow it was the perfect name

"I love it" I said kissing him "and I love you"

"I love you too Gray" Natsu said "Now let me hold him"

"Not yet" I said back

"But you've been holding him for the last nine months" Natsu whined

"That is exactly why my turn deserves to be longer" I argued back

We continued to bicker back and forth.

This is the family I've always wanted.

"Rogue wake up come on stay with me" I said gripping Rogue's hand.

"Please help him" I begged the doctor

"We're trying Mr Eucliffe" Dr Weinberg replied.

Rogue mumbled something but remained unconscious "come on baby don't leave me now" I said desperately tears coming to my eyes.

I can't lose Rogue and I can't lose our baby.

"We're going to have to perform an emergency c-section" Dr Weinberg said to me

I nodded not knowing what to say. The mere thought of losing my mate made me sick to my stomach.

I watched as they cut Rogue's stomach open. I could see Rogues eyes open blearily his half conscious state causing him to groan out in pain.

"Keep fighting baby" I whispered into his ear taking his hand into mine and squeezing it I didn't know if I had been imagining it due to my pure desperation for Rogue to be okay but I swear I felt him squeeze back gently.

I watched Rogue's face intently desperately making sure he was still breathing. "Here's your baby boy Mr Eucliffe" Dr Weinberg said handing me Rogue and I's son.

I took our baby and held him close to my chest. He had Rogue's dark black hair and red eyes I smiled he looked just like Rogue.

"Look Rouge he looks just like you" I said looking at Rogue who was still unconscious.

"St'ng"

I looked down at Rogue whose eyes were nearly open but I could tell it was taking all of his strength to stay awake and to speak.

"I'm here my love I'm right here" I said kissing his forehead. "Baby okay?" Rogue asked exhaustion evident in his voice.

"He's perfect Rogue he looks just like you" I said smiling slightly.

"Take care of...him" Rogue managed to choke out.

"Rogue don't talk like that you're going to be fine" I said tears threatening to fall from my eyes.

Rogue managed to move his head so we were staring at each other and as I stared into his sunset eyes I could see he was done.

"Rogue please don't leave me" I begged him

"I can't do this without you. What about our son? What about me? I need you you're my mate you're my everything. Please keep fighting" I begged him letting my tears fall freely now.

Rogue looked at me and gestured for me to bend my head down I did so and he kissed me gently. "I love you Sting" he whispered then closed his eyes.

After that everything turned to hell. Doctors rushed around trying to help him.

But when a nurse came out to the waiting room where I sat holding my baby boy and said "I'm sorry Mr Eucliffe he's gone" I already knew.

It didn't stop the tears falling down my face as I thought

Rogue was dead.

His last words had been 'I love you Sting' I never got the chance to say I love you too.

I looked down at our child and cried more as he reminded me so much of Rogue.

"I'm going to name you Ryos after the man I loved"
