AN: Hey everyone so I forgot that I even had this one and I figured I might as well show you guys what my weird mind thinks up. So here have a random ship with random circumstances.
Chapter One: Mercy PoV
Mercy sighed she hated, abso-fucking-lutley, hated working at the village brothel, but sadly she had no choice. The Inn had told her that they didn't need her help and that she'd be better off at the brothel. Her "assets" were better suited for there anyway, she glanced down at her breasts and laughed dryly.
"Yeah assets." She muttered bitterly as she pulled her cloak tighter around herself slowly making her way to the small hut just outside the village she called her home. She felt, in all honesty, like shit. She had felt like that for a while now and the reason was just starting to make itself known. She glanced down at the small lump that was beginning to form on her stomach. It was time to face the facts, she Mercy Kohler, was in fact pregnant. The small blonde frowned in confusion, or maybe sadness, who knows it could have even been anger. Her boss had noticed and pretty much fired her until she was no longer expecting. As the small Dane made her way past her friends Berwald and Tinos' house, a small blonde thing was running towards her.
"Aunt Mercy aunt Mercy!" shouted Peter in delight wrapping the women in a hug and grinning "Mama said yous gotsta come in okay?" He told her looking up into the Dane's eyes. Mercy felt herself smile though internally sighing, as much as she loved Tino and Berwald, Peter's adoptive parents she really wasn't in the mood to deal with the Tino interrogation she knew was coming.
"Sure thing kiddo I'm right behind ya." She told him ruffling the smaller blonde's hair, causing him to giggle before running off back into the house. Mercy followed hesitantly, dragging her feet, dreading what was to come. She had no clue who the father was and she knew that the blonde cross dresser would grill her with questions in an attempt to figure it out. Which she doubted even Tino could do.
"Hey Tino, hello Berwald how are you guys? Sorry I haven't been able to come over but uh you know how work can be." Mercy said finally making her way inside where the two men sat waiting patiently for her.
"Peter sweetheart I do believe it's bed time." Tino, the smaller of the two men said in a sweet voice but If you listened carefully you could hear the warning tone in it. Mercy smiled slightly as the young boy instantly bowed his head in a small nod instead of fighting like he normally would have.'He's a smart kid, knows better than to argue with his mama when his voice is like that', she thought as the child slowly made his way to his room dragging his feet, making sure to take as long as possible on the slim chance Tino would change his mind and allow him to stay up longer.
"Now you Miss Mercy I have a bone to pick with you." The Finnish man said as soon as peter had shut his door, the small girl sighed softly but looked up at Tino tilting her head in acknowledgement "Is it true you were fired and that you finally admit you are pregnant?" He asked her, his unusual purple eyes focused intently on the young woman's face, looking for any clue as to what she was thinking. 'I swear he can read fucking minds and how does he know I got fired, if only temporarily, it only happened what ten minutes ago, If that.' She felt a small smile pulling on the corner of her lips that's something she's always admired about Tino, he always knew everything, it was as if he was everywhere all at once.
"Yes sir all of those things are true." Mercy murmured resignedly, shooting a pleading look at Berwald to keep his wife in line before sitting down. "But i'm only temporarily fired, just until I have the kid" She added in hope of appeasing the frowning Finn by stating she did still have a job, she was just on like vacation. The Dane realized quickly that it was a mistake, the small man seemed to double in size as he leaned over her.
"No. Absolutely not Mercy, you are not ever going to work there again. Especially with a kid! You're insane, completely batshit crazy young lady." The curly haired girl would have dearly liked to remind him that she was actually the eldest in their rag tag family, but thought better of it recognizing the fire that was lit in the violet eyes above her.
"B-But Tino how am I supposed to pay for the kid, I can barely take care of myself on that salary so imagine what not having a job would be like." Mercy replied looking down at her hands, trying to make him see reason shooting another glance at Ber who was nodding slightly looking at Tino. Mercy felt herself relax, of course Berwald would understand he was a logical person, but that relief was short lived when Berwald decided to speak up.
"We'll help Mercy, we have more money than we know what to do with, and don't start I really don't feel like arguing with you tonight I'm sure Tino could get you a job at the Inn so you can work and not chew our ears off because you can't sit still for more than two seconds." The swedish man said calmly gazing into the disbelieving eyes of the girl.
"B-Bu-But Berwald I-" The Danish woman started before quickly being interrupted by an over excited Tino
"Nope it's been decided Mercy I'll get your room set up right away." The small man said grinning and skipping off to a spare room dragging a reluctant Mercy behind him "Well by set up I mean I have it done but want your opinion." 'So let's see in Tino language that translates to 'I have decorated how I want it and I don't care what you think.' Mercy thought allowing herself to be pulled along. 'Tino is way to excited for me to be moving in oh god he's going to give me makeovers everyday isn't he?' The Dane thought shooting a horrified glance at the grinning man beside her as he threw open the door proudly. 'Woah this is not what I expected.' The blonde thought as she looked around the room, surprisingly it was plain and simple. Not a Tino monstrosity at all, there was no lace or gold or whatever other outrageous material that was normally used by him.
"I love it Tino." Mercy said turning and smiling at the bouncing man beside her.
"I knew you would, even if I think it's plain, I know that's what you like just don't expect me to always design things the way you like them.' He said with a disgusted glance at Mercy's simple light blue dress that's hem was stained brown with dirt. 'Oh wonderful, why do I feel like as soon as I open that wardrobe I will be playing dress-up?' The blonde woman let out an exasperated sigh, she must mentally prepare herself for this oncoming war with fabric and an over excited Finn.
"Thank you really, you and Berwald don't have to do this you know." Mercy murmured looking at Tino, who rolled his eyes saying:
"Honestly Mercy, you'd think we were cutting off our legs and giving them to you, your our family, maybe none of us are blood related if you don't count Emil and Lukas but we are a family you tell us that all the time, and family helps family okay?" Tino said exasperation creeping into his voice as he stared at small blonde women nodded slightly 'Maybe Tino's right this won't be so bad, besides Ber said that-'
"Don't worry I already have your job at the Inn secured sweetie." Tino said interrupting her thoughts and reading her mind, as per usual. She laughed softly
"You're amazing you know that, absolutely fascinating how you seem to know everything" The small woman murmured smiling at the man next to her. Tino grinned patting Mercy's shoulder
"Yeah I know you're lucky I'm on your side." He said laughing leaning down kissing her cheek "now get some rest you don't start work for a couple days." Mercy sighed she should have known there was going to be a catch to her working.
"That I am Tino that I am." She agreed yawning stepping into the room slowly shutting the door in Tino`s face. "Night night now." She said laughing at the annoyed look on the man's face.
"Yeah, Yeah goodnight and please make use of the clothes in the wardrobe." Tino said stepping back to avoid being shut in the door.
"Will do my good sir." Mercy replied shutting the door the rest of the way. She sighed stripping down and pulling on one of the frilly monstrosities that Tino called clothes. The Dane laid down on the bed staring at the ceiling rethinking all of her life choices that lead up to this moment.'Well Mercy prepare yourself for a thing you never planned, parenthood.' She thought closing her eyes slowly drifting off to sleep dreaming of a red haired man she's never seen before.
