Chapter 7: That's Just Gross.

After moving in with his younger brother, Matthew was able to live a normal life again, yet he knew that the past was still there and that it would never go away. He was already eight months pregnant and his stomach was already gorged. He decided that it would be best for him to stay with Alfred until the baby was born, and he was able to support himself. Until then, he'd be living in a penthouse flat with his brother in New York City.

"Heh…I can feel the baby kicking." He told Matthew. It was a Sunday afternoon and Matthew was lying on the couch watching TV. His shirt was rolled up above his stomach so he could gaze at his belly. Alfred had walked over and kneeled in front of Matthew, "You doing alright?" He asked his brother. He placed the palm of his hand on the swollen stomach to feel the baby. He smiled after feeling the imprint of the baby's foot kick the walls of Matthew's stomach.

"T-That feels weird…" He proclaimed as he watch small spots of his stomach bounce. Alfred laughed his obnoxious laugh whilst he poked the baby's foot.

"Uh…Alfred, I have to ask you something," Matthew said, "have you kept in touch with Gil…?"

"No." was his response. "Why do you ask?"

Matthew didn't want to admit that he was developing feelings for Gilbert. Though he kept rejecting it, his heart would always race at the thought of him. "O-Oh…It's nothing." He stated. He hooked his arms under his belly and cradled his bloated stomach.

"…Hey, do you think it's going to be a boy or a girl?" Alfred asked to get rid of the awkward silence.

"Hmm…I haven't even thought about that." Staring down at his belly, Matthew thought about the possible gender that the baby would turn out to be. If it was a girl, how should he treat her? Should she be treated like a princess? Or should he treat her as if she was on strict supervision? What if it was a boy? How should he be treated? Should Matthew be strict to him? Or should he let him be free and do whatever he wanted?

"I hope it's a—Ugh!" Mathew groaned, his hand grasping his stomach tightly. The baby was kicking rather roughly at the inner walls of his belly.

"Are you alright?" Asked the rather alarmed Alfred.

"Y-Yeah…It's just the baby kicking." Matthew responded, "…U-Uh, d-do you mind making me some maple flavoured pancakes? Oh, and with extra pickles on top?" He asked.

Alfred sighed, "dude your taste buds must be seriously broken…"

"Fine…Then get me a…um…" He went into thought about what he wanted then finally said, "…A triple cheeseburger with extra pickles…Oh and smother it in maple syrup."

Alfred sighed again, his stomach churning at the thought of what he was about to make.

CHAPTERS 8 PREVIEW:

"Where the hell is he!?" Gil constantly asked his so called wife.

"I will say this on time and one time only, he is gone. He will never come back. That little 'relationship' you had with him is something that I highly disapprove of—Hey! Where do you think you're going!?" Elizabeta had stated.

"…Out." He told her whilst going to the front closet to retrieve his jacket. He made one last reply before leaving out, "Goodbye~"

"Goodbye? What do you mean goodbye!? You are MY husband; you aren't supposed to leave me!"

"Nein…You're wrong. I'm not your husband," he said with a smirk, "und I will never be your husband. Plus I must go for I must see my child~" His hand reached for the door knob and he twist it, "I'll see you later…Oh wait, I'm not coming back." He said tauntingly then left out.
