Author's Note: So this chapter will describe Tsuna's feelings toward being pregnant. I didn't go into detail about it last chapter because Tsuna wasn't fully coherent when he saw that he was pregnant.
This is IMPORTANT! I have made a poll. I want your input on Tsuna's child/children. So, please vote. I already know what gender Tsuna's children/child will be, but I want to know what you want Tsuna to have. I could change it a bit, depending on what the people want.
Warnings: Cursing, fluff, and timeskips.
Disclaimer: I don't own KHR. I just own this plot and Tsuna's unborn child.

Chapter 3: Uncontrollable Fears
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.
Tsuna felt his heart beat a mile a minute within his chest. The line rang for the first time. He could not believe he actually was going to do this. The line rang for a second time. He felt so tempted to hang up right then. He could not bring himself to tell him over the phone.
Hell, he was calling to tell him he needed to talk to him in person. The line rang for a third time. Hot coils began to curl in his stomach as he could feel his lunch start to come back up.
'Please…Don't answer the phone.'
After the forth time, the call went to voicemail.
"Ciao! You've reached Giotto Ieyatsu, Vongola Primo! I can't make it to the phone right now! Leave a message and I'll try to call you back!" Giotto's pre-recorded voice made Tsuna release the breath he didn't realize he was holding. He smiled slightly. Giotto still used his nickname when he was playing football.
A long beep signaled the time to record a message.
"Um, hey. It is Tsuna. I really need to talk to you this weekend. It is super important. Um, I love you…Bye!" The brunet slammed his phone closed as quickly as he could. His stomach settled as soon he shut his phone. At least now, all he had to do was tell the blond now.
God that would be even harder. He honestly had no plan on how to tell Giotto. The boy thought about just straight out telling him or stall by saying how much he loved him and how he wanted to spend his life. To Tsuna, what made it hard to tell him was his reaction. Tsuna could nearly picture Giotto yelling at him and dumping him right then and there. If he had been born a girl, this would have been a lot easier. Female pregnancy was so much easier, not to mention, normal. Tsuna was the first male to be pregnant.
He hated admitting it. He did not want this, but he did. He was having a child. It was alive inside him, that ultrasound proved it. The little bean that was his child appeared on the screen; no fake screenshots, or recorded videos. Tsuna was scared yet overjoyed. He was angry but happy. He was melancholic and yet he was ecstatic. To say he had mixed feelings about this whole thing was an understatement. He could feel his heart and stomach flutter at the thought of his son or daughter. Then, he would think of Giotto. When he thought of his half-Italian blond, Tsuna felt this guilt bubble deep in the pit of his stomach. It would gnaw at his brain before he went to bed. He had to call Kyoko for comfort on the first night. Kyoko tried to tell her best friend that things would work out for them. This was just a minor roadblock and if Giotto loved him as he says he does, the man would be there for him the all way through.
That was two months ago.
Giotto had not called him or visited him at all. Tsuna did not know how to take it. It hurt more not to see the father of his unborn child. Tsuna was not sure if Giotto was cheating on him or just got tired of having a lover who was 4 years younger and a minor. It was frustrating for him. He has been trying to tell him, but the blond had not even had the time to call. This was not the first time Giotto has not contacted him for a long period of time. The pregnant male's hormones began to act up in the past month. It made it even worse. Yeah, Tsuna was a naturally sensitive person, but now it was ten times worse. Tsuna took a lot as an insult. Tsuna also got a lot more violent.
Gokudera was a victim of that day. He still had the cracked rib to prove it.
Tsunayoshi sighed as he closed his bedroom door. If he couldn't tell Giotto, he could tell his mom. His mom had been worried about him the two month. He was throwing up in the mornings and he was putting on weight faster than usual. Nana was scared and Tsuna didn't even bother tell to Nana anything. He would just push the woman away.
"Mom," he mumbled, "Can I talk to you?"
Nana looked up from the stove. Tsuna's 5-year-old brother Lambo looked up at him from the counter.
"Sure, sweetie. What is it?" she sang.
Tsuna loved that about his mom. She was always so optimistic and happy. He had never seen his mother sad. She was a bundle of smiles and radiating happiness. He often wondered if that is why his father married her. Nana was like the perfect housewife and mother. Tsuna envied that. If he kept the baby, would he be that great of a parent? Would his son or daughter be raised with just one parent, just as he was? Well, he had two parents, but one was rarely seen.
"I-uh…I-I-I'm," Nana watched her son stutter and flush nervously with deep interest. It only made him more nervous. "I'm…I'm…I'm pregnant." He whispered the last parent low enough that Nana could barely hear her own child talk.
"Pardon?"
"Mom, I'm pregnant," Tsuna said this a little louder. This time Nana caught what he said. Her chocolate colored eyes widened.
"How is that…" she started then frowned, "I'm going to kill your father when he get's home." she hissed. Tsuna flinched.
He walked closer to her. Nana felt the tears fill her eyes. Her oldest son was pregnant. She didn't care that he was a boy. Nana knew her husband, Iemitsu was studying male pregnancy with his brother. She couldn't believe he would stoop so low as to make their son able to have kids like a human test subject. The older brunette took a breath. She need to calm down. Iemitsu would never do anything as stupid as choosing his son as a test subject. She needed to believe in her husband. Her blond husband would never do that to her or Tsuna.
"Mom? Please talk to me…I'm scared," Tsunayoshi whimpered, hugging the woman who was his mother.
Nana was shaken out of her daze by the sudden weight of her son. She started crying herself as she wrapped her arms around her weeping son. She squeezed him tighter. Nana was just as scared as Tsuna.
They stayed like that for a few minutes before Lambo tried to jump in. The two laughed. Nana wiped her tears then her oldest son's. "Let's sit down and talk about this," she whispered.
They both pulled up a chair at their table. Tsuna was visibly shaking.
Nana placed her hand on Tsuna's. "How far along are you?"
Tsuna closed his eyes. He definitely had to think this one over. He vaguely remembered Byakuran mentioning something about being 4 months. That was 2 weeks ago, yesterday. So that would mean-
"I'm 18 weeks pregnant…" he mumbled.
Nana's eyes widened. "4 months already, Tsuna? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" she exclaimed.
Tsuna flinched. "I've been trying to get a hold of Giotto," the younger brunet whimpered, tears began to fill his eyes once again, "I haven't been able to talk to him since my birthday. Reborn wanted to get an ultrasound done to see if I really was pregnant. They've been making me get ultrasounds ever two weeks. I was scared; I still am! I don't know what to do, Mom!" Tsuna began to sob again. He grabbed his mom for comfort and Nana rubbed small circles in his back.
"Well, what has your uncle done by helping you?" Nana wondered softly.
"He's given me the prenatal vitamins and he's been telling me that when I'm 5 months pregnant that he's going to home school me. His friend, Yuni has been warning about overdoing myself. Both of them have been telling me to tell Giotto everything," sobbed Tsuna.
"Have they told you the gender of the baby? Or how many babies are in there?"
Tsuna shook his head 'no'. "They said they'd tell me when I tell Giotto…"
Nana smiled sadly. So, Reborn wants Giotto to be in the baby's life. Reborn was thinking of her son's desires for this child or these children. She wonder why her son didn't have an abortion, but she quickly shooed the thought away. She couldn't think that her son would kill such an innocent life, even if it was legal. Nana continued rubbing Tsuna's back as Tsuna continued to breakdown in her arms.
"It'll be okay, Tsuna. If I have to, I'll drag Giotto over here. If he leaves you, which I highly doubt will happen, you still have me, Kyoko, your uncle, your friends, and that Mukuro fellow you often talk about," she comforted.
Tsuna smiled meekly. "Thanks, Mom…"

The next day, Tsuna was in his Personal Fitness class. The class had finished the work their teacher assigned quickly. So the teacher brought the class to the gym. Of course, you could find Tsuna on the sidelines as he watched the class play two-puck hockey. Gokudera, being aggressive as always, was fighting with Yamamoto to get the puck. Kyoko and Haru were on edge, watching for a puck heading in their direction like good goalies. Chrome was just standing there trying to find the puck and she flinched when a puck was slammed onto the blue padded walls of the goals. Tsuna placed his hand on his bulging stomach. His stomach was growing larger fast. A couple weeks ago, you couldn't tell that the chestnut haired boy was pregnant. Now, it was becoming quite obvious. People probably wouldn't guess that he was pregnant. They would probably say he was just eating too much. But right now, Tsuna was glad his gym uniform was big enough to hide the growing baby bump. It was just barely visible and Tsuna was overjoyed by it. Tsuna sighed and tried to pull his chest.
"Yo, Tenth," a voice Tsuna recognized as Gokudera's grunted.
Tsuna lifted his gaze up. Gokudera was standing in front of him with a busted lip. Gokudera grunted again and slid down the wall to sit next to Tsuna.
"What happened?" the brunet wondered.
"That jack ass, Naito hit me in the face with his hockey stick and it busted my lip. I started screaming at Naito. Coach sent me out of the game for being too aggressive," the silver haired bomber said matter-of-factly.
Tsuna hummed and returned to stare at the growing stomach. The brunet let his mind wander. He was picturing a little child running around someone's house. The walls were a pale tan, decorated with pictures of a family of three. Two blondes and a brunette were in each picture. The flash of a short blonde ran down the hallway followed by a larger blond. Imagining the blonde closer, he realized it was Giotto and the little child was their's. Tsuna's head popped out of what could have been the kitchen. The brunet yelled for the two to stop making such a ruckus, not catching the name of the child. Unconsciously, Tsuna smiled. He hoped it could be like that.
Gokudera's eyebrows furrowed as he watched his friend smile at his more rotund stomach. Tsuna still hadn't explained anything to him and the others. He hoped Tsuna found would tell at least him and Yamamoto. That annoying girl, Haru would just spread whatever was going on with their cinnamon haired friend to the whole school. Haru was the one who spread Yamamoto and his very sexual relationship to the whole school. Gokudera swallowed before he said anything to Tsuna.
"Hey, Tenth, what wrong?"
Tsuna's head snapped up. "What?"
Gokudera closed his eyes and breathed in. "I asked what wrong with you?"
Tsuna smiled a little more dimly this time and sang softly, "Oh nothing. I was just thinking."
"About what?" the sliver haired boy questioned further.
"About none of your business," snapped the shorter boy.
Gokudera felt his anger rise. He was just asking a question. The ass didn't need to snap at him like that.
"I'm not going to tell you, either."
Gokudera felt the sudden urge to punch him. "Okay. I fucking get it already."
That was the end of that.
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.
Giotto swallow hard as he walked up the porch of his boyfriend. Nana called him this morning saying Tsuna really needed to see him. Honestly, the blond had no intention of ignoring Tsuna for 5 months. He had tests and exams from practically all his professors. He even was able to work as an intern for two months at the Bovino business enterprises headquarters. It was like a dream. Now, he had to find a way to make it up to the brunet.
Giotto knocked on the brown painted door, he rocked on the heels of his feet. He heard a muffled "I'll be down in a sec!" and the distant sound of feet. The door began to open and the blond's breath caught in his throat. Tsuna's head popped out.
Giotto's orange eyes widened when the door opened further. The brunet stood in the doorway with the same shocked expression as himself. Tsunayoshi wore one of the blond's shirts he had left. The shirt wasn't skin-tight, but it still outlined the boy's enlarged stomach.
"So now you want to talk to me, huh?" the brunet hissed, "For almost five months you haven't talked to me at all and here you are."
Giotto just stood there stunned. Did Tsuna put on all this weight in just 5 months?
Tsuna's eyes filled with tears as he clenched his fists. Giotto's small lover launched himself at Giotto. The half-Italian fell back onto the concrete with an angry armful of Tuna. The brunet began to punch his boyfriend's lightly.
"You asshole! How could you! I haven't fucking talked to you in 5 months!" Tsuna cried, dropping his head into the older man's chest.
Giotto sighed. He pulled Tsuna into his arms. "I'm sorry…I don't have a great excuse, but-"
Tsuna began to thrash in his arms as he screamed, "You were cheating on me weren't you!"
"Sh…Stop, I didn't cheat on you. I had exams to study for, and I got to experience being a real business leader." Tsuna sniffed as Giotto whispered into his ear. "I didn't mean to ignore you…I'm sorry, my little Tuna."
Tsuna sniffed again. He looked into the Vongola Primo's orange eyes for any sign of lies. Spotting no sign of dishonesty, Tsuna stood up with a hand on his protruding stomach.
"What happened to you, Tsuna?"
Tsuna bit his lip. He mumbled a sentence that Giotto couldn't understand.
"What did you say, babe?"
Tsuna gulped. "I s-s-said-uh…I, um…I'mpregnantwithyourchild!"
Giotto breathed a "what" before passing out on the porch.
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.
"See, Mom? He passed out." Giotto heard Tsuna say.
"I see this, sweetie. You should have brought him inside the house, before telling him the big news."
"Hey! I just wanted to get this over with! The faster I told him, the faster I can know if I will be raising this brat by myself!" Tsuna yelled.
Giotto rubbed his eyes as he sat up on the couch. Tsunayoshi and Nana were hovering above him. Tsuna's eyes brimmed with tears. Giotto looked down at the large belly in front of him. Tsuna's hand was rubbing circles on it.
"Gio…Are you okay?"
Giotto nodded. "I just need to breathe a bit," he sighed, "You're not really pregnant, are you?"
"Of course I am, you jerk!" Tsuna screeched, "Remember that stupid pill I fucking took! Yeah the shit screwed with my body and you were too horny to fucking realize I had two holes! Now I'm fucking stuck like this!"
"Tsu-"
"No!" the brunet continued to screech, "I'm not fucking finished! You knocked me up! I had to go through two months of trying to get a hold of your stupid, happy ass to tell you this shit! And what do happens when I do tell you! You fucking pass out and ask me if I'm not really pregnant? Do yo-Oh my god!" Tsunayoshi stopped mid sentence. His hand darted to his stomach. "The baby is moving!"
Nana's hand touched her son's stomach also. "Oh my gosh! It really is!"
Giotto reluctantly touched his boyfriend's tummy. Beneath his palm, a light fluttering could be felt. A feeling of guilt began to regurgitate it's way back up the half-Italian's stomach. Was this…his child?
"Is this our child?"
Tsuna nodded. The pregnant boy's hand intertwined with the blond's. "That's our baby moving."
Giotto pulled his lover into his arms. Tsuna wrapped his arms around Giotto's ribs. He sobbed into Giotto's white dress shirt. The two stayed like that for what seemed like forever. Tsuna's teary chocolate eyes met Giotto's watery ones.
"I'm so sorry…I-I should have visited on my off days, or at least call you back…You should have called me when you found out the news," Giotto said with a gentle kiss.
Tsuna shook his head. "I should have called you when I took the pregnancy test that Reborn have me! Kyoko even told me I needed to tell you! Reborn, Byakuran, and Yuni all have been telling me to tell you…I was just so scared you'd leave me."
Giotto kissed Tsuna again. The blond pulled his brunet into his lap, deepening the kiss.
Nana cleared throat. Her face was flushed from watching her son and his boyfriend kiss. She wanted to stop this before Giotto started humping her son into the couch.
That was one mess she did want to clean up.
Both boys looked up. Tsunayoshi blushed. Giotto laughed lightly. Tsuna buried his head into Giotto's neck, inhaling his scent. He couldn't describe the smell, but it was sweet yet earthy. It was something Tsuna couldn't get enough of. Giotto never wore cologne, so this was natural. Tsuna sighed in relief. His eyelids were growing heavy. Giotto leaned back, letting Tsuna fall asleep in his arms.
Giotto ran his hand through the mop of cinnamon hair. His little Tuna looked so peaceful sleeping. He was like an angel in Giotto's arms. When his eyes drifted down to the bulge of their baby, he couldn't help but let his pride and his guilt show on his face. He'd gotten a 16 year old pregnant. Not to mention, the 16 year old was male. He could easily got to jail for this. It's statutory rape. If Nana didn't want her son to be in a relationship with him, Giotto could be put in jail in a beat of eye. Though, Giotto was glad the person carrying his child was Tsunayoshi. The chestnut haired boy held a special place in his heart. Giotto had not been with someone before the 2 years of dating Tsuna. Well, when he was 16 he was with his best friend, G. In the end, the two broke up after G cheated on him with a cheerleader. Giotto cherished the relationship with Tsuna. Now, the both had proof. Their child would be the proof that they loved each other. Then, again, they may not be together. He hoped they would though.
Giotto smiled once more. He place a hand on his lover's stomach before falling asleep himself.

Reborn watched from the window. His nephew was curled up with his boyfriend. Both were sleeping peacefully in each other's arms. A blonde-haired man stood next to him. His skin was tanned from constantly working outside. He wore a black tank top and an orange jumpsuit hanging off his waist. The man was scowling.
"You're mad that Timoteo made you give your son the pill, aren't you Iemitsu?"
A gruff voice answered, "Hell, yes. Why couldn't we use someone else as the test subject? Like Bianchi's little brother or someone else."
"Timoteo must see some type of potential in the boy."
Iemitsu's grey eyes narrowed. "Why would you say that?"
Reborn looked up at his brother. "The old guy is dying."

Author's Note: Two chapters in two days straight! D: I had the sudden inspiration to write this by a couple reviews. They made me smile!
So you got two reactions. Giotto passed out and Nana did the maternal thing and tried to help her son. The reactions are far from over. You still have Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Haru's reactions. Believe me when I say that will be fun. Plus, there is a couple surprise in store. Good or bad, I'm not telling. :p You gotta stay tuned to find out. Bleh Giotto's reaction was kinda flat. :I Srry, he was just too surprised to feel a definite emotion. And that kiss was supposed to be a make-out scene, but I couldn't bring myself to write one.
Did any of you notice Tsuna's mood swings? His hormones were acting up more in this chapter than the last. But then again he was closer to 5 months pregnant now.
ANYWAY! Leave a review or two and don't forget to vote in the poll! I need your input!
