"Shh, mein liebling, everything is fine now." Ludwig pressed an ashen hand to the brown-eyed man's forehead, leading him back to laying on the soft bed again.

"Wha-, what happened?" the blonde asked suddenly.

Blinking owlishly at the faint light streaming from the window, Feliciano was too struck to say anything.

"Nothing, Ludwig. I just passed out from hunger, I guess." He lied through his teeth as smoothly as he could. His mate didn't seem to notice.

Ludwig patted Feliciano's head gently before pecking him on the lips and standing up from the bed.

"Good, then. I'm going to make breakfast for you, anyway. Don't go anywhere. Get some rest," He smiled and headed out to the kitchen.

Stubborn, Feliciano sat up, touching his stomach again. He now knew that he was with child, but how would he tell Ludwig? What if it was not his kid? What would happen then?

The Italian heard a grunt; he shook himself out of his thoughts.

"What did I tell you before, liebling?" Ludwig smirked at him, crossing his arms and leaning against the doorframe.

Sighing, Feliciano flopped back against the feather-soft pillows. One thing he didn't like was that he himself could not obey Ludwig's orders without a struggle.

"Good, now… What's wrong? You seem very distracted today," His face suddenly became concerned. "What happened?"

"Nothing, nothing!" Feliciano raised his hands up in what looked like surrender, but really, it was actually in defense. "Nothing is wrong, ve~! I don't know why you're being so stubborn, Ludi!"

Ludwig blushed a hot-chili pepper red as he hung his head low. "Sorry," He replied in a hushed tone. "I'm still freaked on the incident last night, Feliciano." He strode over to the bed again, sitting down and feeling the soft blanket that seemed to buckle at his touch.

"Ludwig, don't blame yourself for anything. I know you're concerned, and I just want to say," He paused, sitting back up and lightly kissing Ludwig's heated cheek. "I love you,"

The ultramarine-eyed man smiled at his lover, kissing him back, but this time on the lips. It wasn't quick, fast and sloppy; they showed true love in this one.

Ludwig frowned when Feliciano pushed him away lightly, trying to get onto the bed for better access.

"Fidanzato," His sweet Feli laughed. "Fidanzato, don't forget the food on the stove! I can smell it burning!"

Ludwig's eyes went wide, racing out of the room as fast as possible. Feliciano couldn't help but giggle quite loudly. Ludwig could push away anything important for the Italian, especially if he was injured.

"Hey, hey, wake up, Ludwig, Hun." the brunette whispered into the sleeping German's pale ear. Ludwig groaned and rolled over on the couch.

CRASH!

"Ja, I shouldn't have done that," Ludwig had fallen on the floor. No more rolling around, he noted.

Feliciano let out a hearty laugh. He felt his mood lighten. What was happening to him?

"It's almost dinnertime, Ludwig. Since I know you're not in the mood to cook –and neither am I-, want to bring me out for dinner?"

"Fine, fine. Get into the car," Ludwig thought about it a little more. "And you're not driving! And put on your seatbelt! I don't want you to get killed! Not that you would get killed by that, but-," Feliciano put his finger on the blonde's lips to silence his blabbering.

Then, grabbing a coat from the closet and pulling it on, the Italian bounded out the door even before Ludwig had gotten up off the ground.

"You're going to be the death of me, my sweet." He grinned and shook his head.

By the time they got to the restaurant, the time was almost 19:00, and Feliciano was starting to get cranky.

"How much longer?" He whined.

"Just wait until the waitress asks for how many people, OK?"

"But I'm starving!"

"Please, just have some patience! And stop making a scene! People are starting to notice you!"

Feliciano huffed, crossing his arms and sticking his tongue out at Ludwig. And then he noticed someone, someone running in the distance and another chasing him or her. He then saw Lovino walking.

"Fratello! Fratello! Come here!" He squawked, waving his hands above his head.

Lovino ran over to his younger sibling, glaring daggers at the German standing behind Feliciano.

"Chigii~, why call me now, Feliciano?" The elder complained. "Can't I just talk to you on the phone later?"

"Oh, fine then! If you don't want to say hello to your brother, go for it! I'll see you tomorrow, then." Feliciano's hands swung down low.

Ludwig noticed the great dip in the younger Italian's mood; he put a comforting arm around him. He was careful not to kiss his lover, although it was tempting.

"YOU POTATO BAS-," Lovino was cut off by the sound of someone screaming.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! HELP ME! HELP ME! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG, DA!" Ivan came rushing through the crowd, almost crashing into Lovino himself.

"What is the meaning of this?" Ludwig asked calmly, apparently a little frightened by the crazed look in the Russian's violet eyes.

"What do you think, Ludwig? Wang Yao's pregnant and I'm going to be a daddy!" He jumped up high in excitement. "But the thing is, Netalia is really mad at me."

"GET BACK HERE!" Netalia screamed, about two blocks away from Ivan's pit stop.

"Oh, just my luck." Ludwig clapped his hand to his face. "We're going to have to get presents for you and Yao,"

"So the four thousand year-old man finally gets it, eh?" Lovino laughed, lightly putting a hand to his heart. "I can't believe you still don't want to be conquered by someone else, Ivan!"

"He's not-," Ivan paused. "OK, maybe he is four thousand years-old, but that doesn't mean I have to be conquered by someone old than me, da!"

They heard a sudden scream, closer than before. Netalia was going to be pounding poor Ivan any second now.

"Ah, shoot. I got to run, guys! I'll see you later!" the violet-eyed squeaked, running off into the distance. "GYAHHHHH! DON'T KILL ME, PLEASE!"

It was going to be a long night.

Hiya, guys! How are you? I just got another chapter uploaded.. I hope this isn't such a pain to you. I deleted my drafty story.

Well, now, you see, I'm going to be a little busy, but don't worry! I apologize to those who had put this on Favorites or Alerts... I was disappointed in my first drafts.
