Being a pregnant man was no fun as Francis was about to find out. He had to keep taking England's miracle chemical, in order to sustain the pregnancy. He tried however, to get on with life as normal, even though things were obviously changing. He was about five and a half months into his pregnancy and he and Arthur were going to warn everyone about the disastrous…. Or miraculous consequences of the chemical going into the water supply.

At the world meeting Arthur got up to speak, and made clear the seriousness of the situation.

"I must apologise to everyone for my experiments with chemcials and hormonal substances led to the possibility that some of you might be um… pregnant…" he uttered, not being able to look anyone in the eye. "Of course it was a very weak solution, and maybe not, but have any of you had any strange symptoms recently?"

Germany put up his hand first. "Vot kind of strange symptoms?" he uttered. Germany didn't look well, he looked like he was so tired and a bit spaced out.

"Well uhh… sore …n… nipples…" Arthur replied, still not looking at anyone, least of all Germany. "Increase in appetite, cravings, notions… feeling emotional…. Maybe… or you might feel like there's something moving in your tummy… that would be a baby, not gas…not… tapeworm…" Arthur uttered wondering if he was making any sense.

Germany sank into his own arms on the table, and Italy put a hand on his back. "Thatsa what that problem is Doitsu… you're expecting…"

"Uuuuurgh…" Uttered Ludwig. "How come you didn't get pregnant too then?" He asked Italy. Everyone looked a little sort of embarrassed and didn't even look at each other.

"Does… does anyone else have…symptoms they cannot explain?"

Prussia sat in his usual seat looking all agitated and upset about something, and now he knew why. "I worry a lot about everything…" He uttered "And I have a craving for knockwurst…" he said as he took out a wrapped knockwurst and started to eat it like he'd never eaten before in his life. "I need it so baaaad…"

Japan was in his seat knitting and not paying any attention but then he looked up from his knitting and realised why he'd felt so maternal lately, and why he felt he had to make little clothes and things. "Oh my goodness…" he gasped "I think I may also be pregnant…"

The worst was Alfred, who thought he was just getting fatter, but actually he may have been pregnant with twins or more. He sat there with a big flowery shirt on and cussing because of his aching nipples and backache. "Oooh I feel so tired all the time…" he groaned… "Thanks so much for that England… now quite a few of us are pregnant… and its given away all our secrets… yes alright I am having an affair with Japan… everyone knows it now… and I am keeping these… twins or triplets or whatever …. I am not ashamed to say it."

"I was expecting too." Arthur said and then looked really sad "But I miscarried… because I needed to be taking the miracle chemical. And if you don't keep taking it then its possible you too will miscarry.. that is why I made up a whole batch of it. How many of you want to keep your babies?"

Not surprisingly everyone put up their hands, even Germany, who was actually starting to look forward to the idea of being a male mother.

"I have one question." He groaned "How does a male mother give birth?"

"I should think by C section…" Arthur replied. "Or some method that we haven't tried yet."

"Uhhh oh God!" Ludwig uttered looking terrified.

Prussia kept eating his knockwurst and at first looked terrified too but laughed. "I can handle a C section because I am awesome and my baby will be awesome too."

"Who is that child's father?" Grumbled Ludwig. Austria turned away looking fearful. There was no one else, it had to be him. That night a few months ago when Prussia had been so romantic, how could he resist? He gulped and was about to say something when Canada piped up.

"That would be me Ludwig!" He said proudly. Gilbert and I have been in a relationship for some time … we kept it secret… but yes… he's my lover… and that is my baby…" he said as he possessively put his arm around Gilbert. "We will bring our baby up together won't we Gil?"

"Oh yeah sure… awesome…" He said and continued to eat knockwurst as Austria looked on, either jealous or upset or both.

Russia put his arm around Latvia who was also sitting with his head in his arms in tears. He too was pregnant, but felt a bit better when Ivan whispered in his ear. "Don't worry Latvia… I am also pregnant."

Francis had been quiet all the way through the meeting and continued to remain so when it ended and everyone got their supplies of miracle chemical. He didn't look well, he looked lost and upset and lonely. He felt that Arthur was ignoring him… not paying him any attention at all.. and yet he needed him so badly. As he gave out the supplies, he wandered off on his own… wondering what was going to happen now… feeling very miserable, and hormonal. He hadn't realised that Arthur had seen him going off on his own and had followed him so he was a bit surprised to turn around and see him approaching.

"Francis, are you alright?" Arthur asked.

"I think so, just a bit… hormonal…" He muttered and wiped a way a tear from his eye. "You…you weren't ignoring me were you? I … I mean… I don't mean to be paranoid but…"

"Oh Francis sweetheart of course I wasn't ignoring you… I love you… where's all this coming from?" He said reassuring him. "Why did you think that?"

"OH I don't know… its ridiculous… but I felt that you were paying everyone else attention and not me… and I can't explain it but I felt… like you didn't care."

"Of course I care darling…" Arthur replied and went to put his arms around him but Francis hissed and pulled away.

"What is it?" Arthur asked "Are you alright?"

"My nipples are sore…" Groaned Francis. "Ow…"

"Sorry poppett…" Arthur replied and hugged him gently, being careful of his painful nipples.

Just then Prussia came by all stroppy and annoyed and yelling at Austria about something. "It was one night Roderich, don't you see? The one thing he couldn't give me was the one little thing that you can!"

"Don't' give me that! You had no idea you could get pregnant! This is all a sham I tell you! You used me Gilbert!" he cried back. "You only wanted my vital regions!"

"Gilbert!" Canada cried "You cheated on me with…with … Austria?" He asked devastated. "How could you?" He wailed and walked off hurt and crying. Prussia followed him "Birdie, sweetie… it was for his DNA only… you're the one for me…honestly…"

Arthur and Francis watched somewhat amused and Arthur took his hand. "This isn't going to be easy, but sweetheart, I am here for you always. I am sorry if it looked like I was ignoring you… shall we go and get something to drink?"

"Alright." Francis replied and held his hand. "Not alcohol though… I was thinking warm milk…"
