My eyes lightly flutter open, shimmers of light burning them. I grunted lightly, then stretched inside my hospital bed. I'm supposed to be released today. I feel anxious. I sit there, staring at an empty chair were Feliciano sat yesterday. I closed my eyes, and tilted my head back to calm myself. I laid there for a while before somebody walked into my room. I pretended to be asleep.

"Lovi? " the voice was soft yet it made me cringe.

I crack my eyes open, my gold meeting with a emerald green. Antonio stood there, nervously biting his lip. He looked like he hadn't sleep in days. He also looked like he'd been crying for that long too. He gazed at me, finally letting go of his lip. He cleared his throat, and turned his head away from me.

Then, I cleared my throat.

"Well? What are you dong here? " I asked.

No answer. He looks down at his feet.

"Antonio answer-"

"O-Oh God. T-This is all my fault isn't it?" he said, trying not to sob.

"Y-You tried to do this to yourself b-because of me?" he finally sobbed out.

I looked away from him. He was trying to make me feel guilty. I wasn't going to fall for it this time around. I wouldn't let him, because he's hurt me to much.

"Antoni-"

"L-Lovino…Y-You love me, don't y-you?" he asked between sobs.

I stared at him. He has truly insane wasn't he? He really thinks he could just come out and say that to me. I resist my urge to scoff. I came to a brief decision.

"Antonio, you're my brother. And I love you like a brother." I pause after he buried his face into hands, then continued.

"Nothing more than that. " I said.

I looked away from him as he revealed his face, which was now twisted into an express drenched in agony. He lets out a scream with a few skips in it, and his face goes into his arm. He bites down on his sleeve. I hear a rip, then blood drips onto the floor where he is. I wince.

"A-Antonio. Stop it. "

"Y-you h-hate me d-don't you Lovino? "

I stared. We looked into each other's eyes. We each kept the others gaze, and examined it. I noticed all the pain and agony in his eyes. He notice's all the frustration and loneliness in mine. His eyes shift down to the floor quickly, and he give a large sob.

"I-I heard y-you were p-pregnant."

"…Yeah."

"Am I-I the father? " I look further away from him.

"…Yes Antonio. " I say.

He bites his lip. I see blood trickle down his chin. He rubbed his own arm for a second, then looked back up at me.

"L-Lovino. I-I'm sorry. God this is all my fault! I-I just…I…I-" he runs out the room.

I listen to his footsteps until they disappear. I stare at the wall for a second, and look back at the door. That made me very curious. It was all such a sudden occurrence. How did he even know I was here? How did he hear I was pregnant? I shook a bit, because I sudden realized something.

I didn't want Antonio anywhere near my child.

I laid my hands upon my stomach, and rub it gently. I can imagine it now, me with my belly swollen, complaining about how fat I'm getting. Oh my God. I'm going to be fat! Fuck! I don't want to be fat! I shake my head away from the thought. Then though of Feliciano's kid and mine playing together. My kid would be annoyed by his, and they'd be just like siblings.

I guess it would all of us closer together. And maybe, just maybe, me and Ludwig could get along. For the children's sake. And Antonio would just stay out of the picture and away from my baby. And Gilbert could be there for him instead. Maybe me and Gilbert can have a few child of our own, and we could be a big happy- did I just turn into a teenage girl dreaming about having a family with her crush?

God, I need to stop doing that, because that's embarrassing. I look up as Feliciano walks in, Ludwig behind him. I hear another set of footsteps, but I ignore them for now.

"West~ ! Thank you! " I hear a voice chirp.

I look up at the door, and there's Gilbert. My face lights up brighter then the sun, then promptly turns red when I noticed Feliciano and Ludwig saw my expression.

"How ya' doin' Lovi~! " he sung to me.

He took my hand, and gave the back of it a kiss before sitting down. Not letting go. My face grew redder. If Antonio suddenly walked back in here, he would say I was just as red as a tomato. Feliciano giggled at us, while Ludwig cleared his throat and gave Gilbert this look. Gilbert gave him a look back and nuzzled my hand. The little bird on his head flew onto my shoulder. I smile and pat the to of his head with my other hand.

"Cute bird. " I say.

"Yeah, I'm a chick magnet!" he said laughing. I laugh too.

"That was corny! "

He smiled at me, then suddenly his expression turned more serious.

"I have some things I need to ask you. " he looks at Ludwig and Feliciano.

"Alone. " he added.

Ludwig nodded, and sweep Feliciano (whom squealed upon this happening) off his feet. Gilbert waited for their footsteps to fade, then looked at me. He gently rubbed the back of my hand with his thumb.

"Lovino, who…Whose the father? " the question sounded a bit hurt.

I give him a sad look. I was so scared to tell him. But now I felt I had to. Because this might destroy any shot of having a relationship with him. I clear my throat as I felt some tears gather in my eyes.

"T-The baby…I-It wasn't consensual Gilbert." I stutter out.

He frowned.

"Who hurt you Lovino? "

"I-I It was-"

"Alfred? " he said.

"N-No! This happened before Alfred! I just…I-I…" I realized something.

Him and Antonio have been best friends for the longest time. This would disappoint him so much. He couldn't hear something about his best friend. I would ruin their friendship and I would feel so ho-

"Lovino, please. You can tell me anything. I won't tell anyone if you want me to. " he said, his eyes getting softer.

"I just want to protect you Lovino. " he said, leaning up and kissing away one of my tears.

I gave a hard sob. So hard I gripped Gilbert's hand for dear life.

"A-Antonio's the father! It's him! " I sob out loud.

He stared at me in disbelief. He's going to hit my Roderick did. I know it. He's angry with me, he thinks I'm a liar. A fucking dirty liar. Suddenly, I was pulled in an awkwardly angled hug. He began to cry with me. I could tell because of how he was breathing.

"It's okay Lovino. I'll be here for you okay? "

I smile a bit in disbelief. He believe me. He actually believed me.

"O-Okay. G-Giilbert? "

"Yes Lovi? " he said. He didn't stutter through his words like I did.

"I-I love you. "

"I love you too, Lovino."
