Home alone again. Kiku was turning into the third wheel of the Axis Powers. He had laid down on the couch in the living room, soft Japanese music playing from a small CD player with speakers. Relaxing... He had almost gotten to the point of falling asleep when the door slammed open. " KIKUUU! " The Asian snapped up into a sitting position, seeing Italy burst through the front door. In his hands were white shopping bags with little yellow flowers all up and down the sides. Germany carried in a bigger box, and the picture on the front of it showed a white cradle.
" We found so many cute thiiings! Just wait til you see! Doitsu, can you start dinner please? I'll be there in a second! " Germany stepped in behind him, moving to shut the door with his boot gently. He set the box down in the living room and politely nodded to Japan. He then ventured off into the home to make their dinner. Kiku could of sworn that was a person across the street watching... But he didn't bring it up.
Italy rushed over to Japan and sat down where his head had been laying. His belly was reaching the fifth month, waistline completely gone, and most of his shirts didn't fit anymore. At this point his organs were shifting to make room for the new life inside, and he got out of breath somewhat easier. Kiku swung his legs and sat up with Feli. " Did you find out the gender also? " Feli's head bounced, curl following. He started to reach into the bag... then looked up to Japan. " Kiku? Can I ask you an important question? "
Japan nodded his head once, hands resting in his lap and back stiff. " Of course, Feliciano-san. " Italy's eyes shone bright as he grinned. Just absolutely glowing. He reached over and took both soft Asian hands, squeezing them softly." Doitsu and I were talking... and we agreed we wanted you to be it's godfather. "
Japan's cheeks flared great red and it swelled into his ears. Godfather to such a creature? A freak of nature birthed from a male? It would go against everything in his head. But... it was Italy and Germany's baby. He couldn't let it just go elsewhere if something happened to them. " I will protect it with my life, Italy-san. I promise. " And he lightly squeezed Italy's hands back. The pregnant man squealed happily, and threw himself into a hug involving Kiku. " THANK YOU UNCLE JAPAN! " The Asian froze up and gagged some, but Feli didn't let go. He knew somewhere Kiku loved his hugs!
Once he leaned back, leaving a trembling Japan, he reached into the bag and pulled out a little pink dress. Baby girl clothes! He set it down on his knee then went for a one piece suit, yellow with a flower on the front. " But this one is my favorite. " And he pulled out a little white dress. Lace was delicately embroidered onto it in waves like clouds. Kiku muttered then, picking up the dress Italy favored. " You're having a girl. Congratulations, Feliciano-san. " Italy was absolutely beaming, glowing with his pregnancy. " The doctor said she's beautiful, and a miracle. A beautiful miracle. Even Doitsu was smiling. " He took out a little teddy bear and made it kiss the godfather's nose.
Italy showed him the rest of the clothing. The Italians were serious about their baby fashions, nearly everything lacy and very pretty. Even Kiku agreed that the clothes were perfect for their baby. Italy forgot that Doitsu was making dinner until the slightest hint of wurst hit the air. He winced and looked towards the kitchen. Wurst sounded disgusting, but he wasn't helping so he might as well eat it. But then his stomach growled in a demanding manner. Just then Doitsu yelled from the kitchen. " Come and eat! "
Kiku stood in a swift, fluid motion. But poor Italy got up a bit slower then normal. A pang of pain ventured up his spine and he rubbed the small of his back. Ow. Arms then curled around their daughter feeling gentle squirming inside. Oh yes... his little angel. The two of them went into the dining room table, Feli not even saying hi and jumping on one of the full plates. Kiku bowed to Doitsu as he set down a plate of food in front of each of them. " Doitsu-san. Congratulations on your new edition. "
Germany glared sharply, but it did not last long at all as he remembered seeing the silhouette of his five month old daughter. His face softened, and he cleared his throat. " Thank you. Sit down and eat. " He sat down along with Kiku, Italy at the head of the table. Half of his plate was gone already, gulping down milk. But Feli managed to suck in enough air before speaking. " The doctor said that if I'm around you guys enough she'll recognize your voices. And we got pictures too! " Kiku nodded softly. " That is very nice, Feliciano-san. "
Italy grinned great big, then looked to Doitsu. Italy barely kept still he was so excited, but they managed to catch those small pictures from the ultrasound and printed them out. Germany glanced between the both of them, then handed them a long picture of paper with a bunch of screen shots on it. They were quick to start a conversation about them, mainly Italy jabbering away while Japan nodded. Of course, Kiku and Feliciano didn't need to know Germany already put a picture of their baby in his wallet. He smiled to himself, and swallowed the potatoes in his mouth.
