Wow. I was caught completely unprepared for this much demand for a pregnant Lulu… I was expecting a little more time to work out the plot and all of that… But I hate to keep everyone waiting for me to sort everything out, so I'm going to try to turn this out as quickly as possible without turning this story into a piece of crap.

Anyway, thank you all for your reviews, and I know that Rolo was being a bad boy in the last chapter, but I promise he's not going to kill Lulu's baby-daddy…. Yet.

Yes, this chapter's not going to be great. I do apologize for the filler. But I wanted to get something out as soon as possible, but my schedule wouldn't allow anything good to come out in a timely fashion… Next chapter should be much better, though.

Also, I am still looking for someone that is interested in beta-reading for this story. The more experience you have with beta-reading, the better. I can catch a lot of my own mistakes, but I'm not perfect.

Chapter 3: Arguments.

Rolo's eyes flicked from Suzaku's face to Lelouch's, judging by the looks in their eyes that they were actually serious. How could this be possible? He stared at his false brother, begging him to suddenly break his honest gaze and laugh at a joke well-played. "Lelouch?"

"Yes, Rolo?" Lelouch said softly, his violet eyes gazing deeply into the emerald eyes of his boyfriend. Rolo had removed his hand from Suzaku's neck after Lelouch had absently rubbed his left eye, reminding Rolo silently that Suzaku was still under the control of Lelouch's Geass. Trying to kill the knight would do absolutely nothing.

"How is this possible?"

Lelouch broke his gaze from Suzaku and turned his head slightly to look at Rolo instead. "Well, you know when you see two people making out? After they do that, they normally retreat to a bedroom and have sex. Babies typically result from such actions."

"I know that!" Rolo snapped, though admittedly he was slightly confused as to why Lelouch had added the first part about making out. Something about the wording, however, made it stick out in his mind. "What I meant was how is it possible for you to have his kid? Last time I checked you need both a man and a woman to do that."

"We're not sure either, Rolo," Suzaku said finally, speaking for the first time in several minutes. "But the blood tests and the ultrasound don't lie. Lelouch is having twins. And unless Lelouch has been cheating on me, they're mine."

Rolo looked at his brother again, giving him a pleading please-tell-me-you-cheated-on-him look. Lelouch turned back to Suzaku, his eyes on fire. "Cheating on you? With whom? I love you, Suzaku. You are my first and my only. Hell, you're the only man I've ever even wanted."

"What about Shirley? And Kallen?"

"Last I checked, neither of them are men. Nor was I ever attracted to either of them. And even if I had cheated on you with them, which, I might remind you, I haven't even seen Kallen for more than a year, I believe she would be having the little brat, not me."

Rolo tried to hold back a laugh as he leaned against the dining room wall, watching the other two begin their fight. He went back to pondering what Lelouch had told him a moment before. "When you see two people making out…" "'See two'" Rolo muttering under his breath, watching as Lelouch and Suzaku continued to argue, Suzaku mostly defending himself and Lelouch accusing him of infidelity.

"The only reason you'd think I was cheating on you is if you have a guilty conscience!"

"No! I meant it as a joke, Lulu, honest!"

"Don't you dare call me that when I'm trying to be pissed at you, Suzaku!"

"What, 'Lulu'?"

"Yes! How many other people have you called something like that? Do you call the Knight of Three 'Gigi' when you fuck him?"

"Hey, I have told him several times that I am very happy with my lover. Don't blame me I he still tries to hit on me!"

Lelouch's eyes burned with fury. "You mean he's actually tried? Has he kissed you? Has he touched you? Have the two of you spent long nights together after your duties are over, lying in each other's arms?"

"No! He's hit on me once or twice, and I've told him I'm not interested! Because I'm in love with you—"

"'Euphy'? Is that what you were going to say, Suzaku? I'm sorry I'm no match for the lovely Princess Euphemia. I'm glad you settled for me after her death."

Suzaku was suddenly on his feet, his strong hand wrapped tightly around Lelouch's left wrist. "Don't ever say that again, Lelouch."

Lelouch's anger melted away instantly, the realization of what he'd said finally hitting him. "Suzaku…" Violet eyes dropped to the floor, the wrist Suzaku had been holding went limp and the Britannian slumped against his lover. "I'm sorry, Suzaku. I didn't mean—"

"Lelouch, please. Spare me." Suzaku's tone was still hard, though the arms that slowly wrapped themselves around the smaller boy's waist showed that he was calming down quickly. "I understand that you're feeling a little… insecure. It was stupid of me to ever even think that you would be unfaithful. But let's face it, I don't deserve you, and if you did cheat on me, I wouldn't be upset. I would understand."

Lelouch buried his face in Suzaku's shoulder. "I'm the one that doesn't deserve you. You're a Knight of Rounds! I'm just an ordinary Britannian kid."

Suzaku chuckled, one hand sliding up from Lelouch's waist, up his back, and tangling gently in his dark, soft hair. "I think the fact that you're having my children is a good sin that you're anything but ordinary, Lulu."

That and I'm a prince, Lelouch thought to himself, taking a moment to steady his breathing completely and letting the last tiny bit of anger flow from him. "I don't know why we fight so much, Suzaku," Lelouch said with a soft laugh pulling away from the larger boy. "We're having twins together, and yet we can't even get along!"

"We get along fine," Suzaku said quietly. "You're just getting used to your new hormones. I'd imagine your symptoms would be worse than if you were a woman having a baby because your hormone levels are always a lot lower."

Lelouch sighed, plopping himself down into one of the dining room chairs and staring at his lover. "Suzaku?" He said, a thought suddenly occurring to him. "One of the pregnancy symptoms is swelling of the, umm… mammary glands…"

Suzaku suddenly burst into laughter, leaning over to wrap his arms supportively around Lelouch's shoulders, resting his hands over Lelouch's clothed nipples. "You're not going to grow boobs, Love. And even if you did, I'd still find you the most beautiful man in the world."

"But you said my symptoms would be worse…?"

"Lelouch, I just meant that in terms of hormones. Your estrogen levels are lower than most women's."

"So you're saying I'm going to be an asshole for nine months?"

"Well, no. You might have a few bad mood swings, and obviously you've got some nasty morning sickness, but…" The knight sighed, removing his arms from Lelouch's shoulders and pulling up a chair next to him, taking his hands gently. "But you do have one advantage. I've heard some women have trouble having sons because their bodies see a Y-chromosome as a foreign body."

"So if I'm having a boy, I won't have a bad time? How lovely. That's totally worth nine months of hell."

"Lelouch, please," Suzaku said softly, squeezing the other boy's hands. "Think of this as a good thing! We were somehow able to do something no other gay couple has ever done! We're going to have twins, and they're ours. No one can take that away from us."

"I guess you're right," Lelouch said, a smile spreading across his face as Suzaku lifted Lelouch's right hand to his lips, kissing it gently. "I'm just so nervous. The fact that we're the only two men to ever have a baby together means we have no idea what to expect. I had a hard enough time raising Rolo."

"Speaking of Rolo," Suzaku said, looking around the dining room. "Where's he gotten to? He was here a minute ago."

"Maybe our fighting scared him off?" Lelouch said, standing up quickly and making his way to Rolo's bedroom. He knocked, and after he heard no answer he opened the door, seeing instantly that it was empty. "He's not here," Lelouch told Suzaku, though he had a good idea where he was. "I'm going to look for him."

"I'll go with you," Suzaku said, reaching out to the coat rack in the dining room to grab his jacket. "I'm not letting you go off alone."

"I'll be fine, Suzaku! And besides, don't you have work?"

Suzaku stopped dead, looking into the kitchen and seeing the clock on the stove. "Oh, damn." He muttered. "I do. If you want to go look for him, that's fine, but stay close and come back if you get tired. If he's not back by the time I get home, we'll go look for him together."

"Yes, Master." Lelouch said sarcastically. "Go change and get to work before Lloyd gets mad for missing even one second with his star pilot."

"He already whines that I can't be available to him all day, every day." Suzaku said as he made his way to the bedroom, Lelouch following closely behind him. The Britannian sat on the bed while Suzaku dug through the closet to find his uniform. Each time Suzaku looked toward Lelouch's side of the small space, Lelouch tensed slightly, worried that Suzaku would find the slightest flaw in his disguised fake wall.

"Well, he can't have you all the time. Especially now that you're going to be a father. You need to be there for your pregnant boyfriend and the twins he's going to give you."

Suzaku removed his uniform from the closet and closed the door behind him, pulling off his shirt to reveal the sculpted chest that always made his lover drool. He smirked slightly as he watched Lelouch's face go blank and suddenly light with lust. "Lulu, your brother's out there. And I have work."

Lelouch shook his head for a moment, a faint blush creeping across his cheeks. "Right. Sorry. But you started it!"

Suzaku pulled his uniform on as quickly as possible, nearly laughing when he removed his pants at the look that retuned to Lelouch's face. "I thought you weren't supposed to start craving sex for a few more months."

Lelouch's blush was deeper this time. "But my symptoms are worse than a woman's are, Suzu-chan," the ex-prince said, standing and crossing the room to his lover. "And it doesn't hurt that my boyfriend is sexy as hell."

"Go find your brother," Suzaku said quickly before he gave in. He gave Lelouch a quick kiss on the lips before heading out the bedroom door and towards the front entrance. "I'll be home in a few hours."

"Goodbye, Suzaku," Lelouch said, hurrying after him to see him off. "I love you, Suzu-chan."

Suzaku smiled. "'Suzu-chan'?" He said, giving Lelouch another kiss. "I love you, too, Lulu." He turned slowly and opened the front door, giving Lelouch one last glance before closing it behind him.

"Damn!" Lelouch muttered, immediately pulling out his cell phone and dialing Rolo's number. He tapped his fingers on the doorframe as he heard the familiar tone indicating Rolo's phone ringing.

"Hello?" Came the assassin's voice from the other end of the call.

"Where the hell are you?"

"Where do you think I am?" Rolo's voice said impatiently. "I'm exactly where you told me to be."

"Good. Then stay there." Lelouch said, making his way back to the bedroom and kicking out the false wall of the closet. "I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Good. C.C. and I have something we want to talk to you about." Rolo hung up the phone without saying more.

~*~

"Welcome back, Zero," Kallen said as the familiar caped-and-masked figure walked into headquarters.

"Thank you, Kallen," Zero said, making his way toward the meeting room. "I understand that C.C. and Rolo are expecting me, so if you'll excuse me—"

"I heard Rolo talking about you and your… associate."

"Remind me to use you next time I need a spy," Lelouch remarked sarcastically. "Kallen, please. Go back to training. We need the Guren in top condition for the next attack."

"But Le—" Kallen began just before the meeting room door slammed in her face. "What the hell!" She yelled, fuming and stomping back toward the bay where the Knightmares were kept.

"About time you got here," C.C. said, falling into one of the soft chairs positioned around the same small table where Lelouch had officially been outed.

"What's wrong?" he asked, sitting across from her. Rolo was lounging sideways in the chair to Lelouch's left, his legs hanging off of one arm and his back resting against the other.

"You're knocked up and asking me what's wrong?" Rolo kicked one of his legs outward, crossing it over the other. "That's rich."

"Rolo," Lelouch scolded. "Knock it off. What did you need me here for?"

"Kallen heard us," C.C. said simply. "She doesn't necessarily know that you're pregnant, but she knows something is up."

"All the more reason for us to carry out our plan, C.C.," Lelouch said, removing his mask and setting it on his lap. "I'll be here to show everyone I'm fine for a few months, and then as soon as my…. weight gain becomes obvious, you will take over as Zero until I am able to return."

"If you're able to return at all," Rolo mumbled. He straightened in his chair, leaning forward and staring at Lelouch. "Once you have the two little abominations, you and your knight in shining armor will be too busy changing diapers and making bottles to give a shit about his job or your rebellion."

"Are you saying you'd do a better job running things around here, Rolo?" Lelouch asked calmly. "Are you saying we should just stop the rebellion and turn ourselves in to the Britannian army?"

"Why not? You've obviously surrendered to the Knight of Seven several times."

"Boys!" C.C. said abruptly, her gold eyes flashing. "I don't care what you two think. Lelouch, the only requirement I have for you is that you stay alive. None of these other people mean anything to me. If you want out of all this, then get out."

"I'm not backing down, Witch," Lelouch snapped. "I've already waited nine years to get my revenge on my father, I won't wait any longer. Babies or no babies, I will finish what I started."

"Even if he finds out what you've been up to while he's at work?"

"If Suzaku finds out, then he'll be pissed. But I have ways of making him stay and accept that I'm Zero again."

"What? Pointing out that you're still his sweet little 'Lulu'? That he's responsible for putting you in a position that no other man has ever been in? That you're going to need his help to raise your two little brats?"

"I suppose you could always be a surrogate father if Suzaku does leave." Lelouch smirked, watching the younger boy squirm.

"Don't even joke, Lelouch."

"Then don't talk about it, Rolo."

"You can talk about it all you want to, Rolo," C.C. said, getting agitated by the fake brothers having their little fake argument. "But if you're going to do that, go somewhere else and whine."

Rolo frowned. "Then let's go back home, Lelouch. Lover-boy'll be back soon, anyway."

~*~

"Seriously, Rolo, I don't know why you're getting so worked up about all of this. Suzaku and I are mature adults. We can handle this."

"First off, Suzaku is still seventeen, and therefore not legally an adult. Secondly, just because you're an adult doesn't mean you're ready to have a kid, let alone two. You don't even have a paying job, Lelouch."

"Then I'll get one. The job market isn't too bad these days. Besides, when I crush Britannia, I won't really need a job, will I?"

"How so? Are you planning on dethroning Charles and becoming Emperor Lelouch?"

Lelouch laughed softly, trying to make it seem like Rolo wasn't dead-on. "I'm not next in line anyway. If I killed that bastard, Odysseus would take over."

"Right. Anyway, Lelouch, what do you know about raising kids in the first place? You've probably never even smelled a dirty diaper, let alone changed one."

"There are parenting classes that Suzaku and I can take. And I think I did an alright job raising Nunnally after we were sent away."

"Which is why she's now on the side against you, as if your baby-daddy."

Lelouch's amethyst eyes burned with carefully controlled fury. "That is irrelevant. Suzaku loves me, and he has loved me for more than a year. He knows I used to be Zero, and he still suspects that I may be Zero again, yet he stays with me. He even loved me enough to get me into this situation in the first place."

"Just because he forgave you once doesn't mean he'll forgive you again, Lelouch. If I found out you were keeping a secret like that from me, forgave you, and then you proceeded to carry on that secret even further, I'd be pretty pissed."

"Something tells me you wouldn't forgive me the first time, Rolo," Lelouch said dryly, turning away from his false sibling to gaze out the dining room window. "But that's you. Suzaku is different."

"I certainly hope you're right, Lelouch," Rolo said, standing up and walking toward the older boy. He placed one hand gently on Lelouch's shoulder as he passed on his way to his bedroom. "I wish the two of you the best of luck. Just remember that I warned you."

"Thanks, Rolo. But your warning isn't necessary." Lelouch stood up as well, heading toward the kitchen to begin cooking dinner for the three boys. "And by the way, be careful with your Geass. If you try to slit his throat like that again, I will have to kill you myself."

"Would you prefer he leave you, run free, and tell the whole world that his ex-prince boyfriend is carrying his twins?"

"I'd rather he end up in an asylum than a grave, Rolo. And if he ran around saying that, he'd definitely end up in a mental hospital."

"Whatever," Rolo shrugged, opening his bedroom door and stepping inside. "And remember, you're not supposed to eat a lot of fish when you're pregnant," he called just before the door closed completely.

Lelouch opened the refrigerator and sighed, pushing aside the salmon filets he'd been planning on making in favor of some ground beef and spaghetti sauce. He glanced down at his hips as he nudged the fridge door shut with his knee. "You two are already causing so much trouble. You're going to be just like Suzaku…"

Wow, that took awhile to write… School and work finally caught up with me (and now that I'm going to be working two jobs, plus school full-time, my updates are probably going to be extremely slow.) Anyway, sorry there wasn't a lot of action in this chapter, but I promise things will get better soon enough!
