So hey guys. This is a request from a friend from school. Originally she asked me to write an England Lemon for her but I said that I had no experience writing Lemons so she let me write some fluff. Not that I'm any good at that either... But at least I tried.
Arthur rubbed his eyes tiredly, 'Looks like the start of another day,' he thought as he sighed. That is, until the door creaked open revealing the small body of his son, Ethan.
"Happy Father's Day, Daddy!" Ethan said as he pulled himself up on the bed. The four-year old smiled happily at Arthur as he patted his son's head.
"Thank you, Son." Arthur replied, hugging the boy. Ethan pulled himself out of the embrace and jumped off of the bed, exclaiming he had a gift for his father. When the lad came back with a nicely wrapped present and a hand-made card, he said, "Mummy took me out to get this for you," the boy handed the gift to Arthur and pulled himself up the bed. As if on cue, Ethan's mother Elizabeth walked into the room trying to balance a tray of tea and assorted breakfast foods.
"Good morning, Arthur," Elizabeth smiled at her husband. Her grey eyes shone brightly in the morning sunlight as she set the tray down on the bed. "Happy Father's Day, Dear."
"Thank you, love," Arthur smiled back, hugging Elizabeth's side lightly. Arthur opened the card first. 'To the world's best Daddy! Love from Ethan and Mummy xo' Ethan drew a picture of Arthur, Elizabeth, and himself holding hands on the inside of card.
"This is wonderful, Ethan, thank you," Arthur said, once again hugging the boy.
"You're welcome, Daddy." Ethan said excitedly, returning the hug, "Open your gift!"
"Okay, Okay," Arthur chuckled, opening the gift that sat in his lap, smiling when he saw custom-made tea set. "These are lovely,"
"I know you really like tea," Ethan said with a gigantic smile plastered on his face, "So I thought I would get you something you could use everyday."
"The custom-made-order part was just a plus," Elizabeth added in as she poured a cup of tea for her husband while he ate a few pieces of toast and some eggs.

After breakfast had been eaten, Elizabeth cleared away the empty tray and dishes, while Arthur and Ethan sat at the table. Arthur was attempting to teach the boy how to play solitaire when the phone began to ring.
"I'll get it," Ethan said as he ran to the phone. "Hello, Kirkland residence. Ethan speaking, who are you?"
"Hello there, Ethan, I am Doctor Middleton" the woman on the other end of the line said, "Is your mother in? May I speak with her?"
"Yes," Ethan replied, "May I ask what type of Doctor you are?"
"I'm a Lady Doctor," Dr. Middleton replied with a soft chuckle.
"Okay," Ethan said brightly, "Mummy! The lady doctor is calling for you,"
"Alright, Sweetheart, now run along and go finish you solitaire game with your father," Elizabeth said as she took the phone from Ethan, ruffling his blonde hair.

Ethan cleaned up the playing cards off the table in the kitchen. 'Mummy sure has been on the phone for a long time now,' he thought to himself, "Hey daddy?"
"Yes, Ethan?" Arthur replied, grabbing out the milk out of the refrigerator, "Would you like some milk as well?"
The Four-year old nodded and proceeded to ask his question. "What's a Lady Doctor?"
Arthur almost choked on his milk due to the sudden question. Clearing his throat, Arthur replied, "It's a doctor that only girls go to, Son. Why do you ask?"
"Mummy's not sick is she?!" the blonde-haired child gasped with a look of horror on his face, "I don't want mummy to be sick!"
"Who said anything about me being sick?" Elizabeth strolled into the kitchen with a smile on her face. "I'm perfectly healthy. Nothing to worry about."
"Then why were you on the phone for so long, Mummy?" Ethan asked curiously.
"We'll talk about that later, Sweetheart. Now, go get dressed in something nice to wear to your cousin Alfred's house." Elizabeth said dodging the young lad's question.
As soon as Arthur knew that Ethan was out of hearing range, he turned to his wife and said, "So why were you on the telephone for so long, Love?"
"Well, dear," Elizabeth sighed, "do you want the good news or the bad news?"
Arthur paled a little when the words left Elizabeth's mouth. "Lizzy, is there something wrong? Did something happen?"
"No, silly," Elizabeth laughed lightly, grasping one of Arthur's hands and placing it on her belly, "I'm pregnant."
Arthur's jaw dropped slightly in shock before a bright smile formed on his face. Elizabeth smiled back before the two shared a kiss.
"Eww Mummy and Daddy are kissing," The two adults looked in Ethan's direction just in time to see his face scrunched up in mock disgust while Arthur and Elizabeth laughed at their son. It was at that moment that Arthur decided that today would be one of the best days he'd ever had.
