Gajeel looked at the small picture in his hands. The baby looked so tiny bundled up in his mother's arms. He had a head full of black curls, sleeping peacefully against Levy's bare chest. 'My boy. My woman. Yer a fucking idiot' The dragon was getting agitated, he tossed that one down and picked up the next.

-Hey Gajeel, its been awhile since I've gotten a letter, usually I write after I receive one from you, hope all is good on you job. Hows Lily? Your big boy is 6 months old now and let me tell you, he damn near gave me a heart attack this morning. He just learned to crawl and sit up, I swear he's in a competition with Rose, she just learned and he took off right after her. I was making us some breakfast this morning and he normally will play in the living room. I caught him in Lily's room, how he got the door open I'll never know, eating Lily's favorite sword! I hope the cat won't  miss it too much. Im sure the 3 of you will be the death of me. I hope the next one is a girl. Any ways I had to snap a picture, he was almost done munching on it so I figured he minus well kill it off. Love you and miss you bunches XOXO-

Another picture. This one was his favorite so far. Steel was plopped down in the middle of Lily's floor, the hilt of the sword in one hand, holding it steady with the other as he chomped away at what was left. He was in nothing but a diaper, his black mop of hair already starting to trail down his back, but his eyes caught the dragon slayers attention more than anything. "He has my eyes too, no wait" he squinted closer at the photo "He has one red and one brown eye! COOL"

It was about 4am now, Gajeel felt himself getting tired once again. He placed all the letters back in to his bag before stretching out to fall asleep. His dreams were of Levy, but this time instead of his usual dream of the night he left, it was a new one. His son was about 5 years old, already quite tall for his age and built like a bull. He started training with him and Lily shortly after his 3rd birthday. Lily and himself modified the training grounds to accommodate the smaller dragon slayer. It was high noon in the dream, and it being summer meant it was unbearably hot. Levy walked into the camp, she was as beautiful as ever, her abdomen already swelling with their next child. Gajeel woke up with a start when the sun caught him in the eye. "Oi!" He rolled over wanting nothing more than to go back to that dream. Not able to he decided to finish the rest of the letters before heading to the job. A few were just ramblings about life in general, a few about Steel's increasing antics and updates on some of the members. Juvia and Gray were engaged, Laxus and Mira announced that they were expecting. just normal stuff for the most part. There were only 3 letters left that were written on differently. He saved those for last. Picking up the first one and opening it...
