Chapter 7: Dead Misery
22 weeks (5 months, 3 weeks)

Giotto let out a breathy laugh as a blush dusted Tsuna's cheeks. Tsuna buried his head in the nape of his boyfriend's neck, smiling a bit. He snuggled closer into the blond as Giotto's arms wrapped around him.
This is where he belonged, in these arms, swimming in this love.
Tsuna's smile grew and closed his eyes, taking in the smell of Giotto's cologne.
If only he could stay in these arms for ever.
Tsunayoshi sobbed, squeezing his pillow closer to his body. He ignored the harsh fluttering of the twins, gasping for air as a sob tore from his lips. The tears burned and his heart hurt felt like it was being ripped apart as the memories continued to flood his mind.
God, why did this have to happen...?
The flurry of butterfly kisses left a pleasant sensation on his skin as the blond lifted Tsunayoshi's shirt. Tsuna gasped, his grip on blond locks tightening ever so slightly with the feeling of pale lips brushing over his skin.
Giotto pressed his lips against the brunet's as his hands roamed soft skin. "I love you," he mumbled into the kiss. Tan fingers hooked onto to denim, slowly sliding the fabric down slim hips. "God...I love you..."
Tsuna let another sob wrack his body. His mind rejected any protest, letting the memories flow. Every sweet moment of their relationship played like a film.
Why did it have to hurt so much?
Why did Tsuna have to love him so much?
"I love you, Tsuna."
"I love you."
"You don't know how much I love you, Tsunayoshi..."
"I'll love you forever, Tsuna..."
Every sweet "I love you" rang like a sickeningly sweet song in his mind.
Tsuna just wanted it to stop. He didn't want to care. He wanted to believe he knew this was going to happen. He wanted to believe that he knew that Giotto wasn't going to stay with him, even though Tsuna was pregnant. He wished that he didn't hope that Giotto was going to stay with him. He just wanted to believe in that sliver of hope.
But, it hurt so god-damn more than it was supposed to.
It was like his heart was being ripped out of his chest and he was being punched in the stomach. He couldn't breathe. He felt like he was drowning.
Tsuna froze as he watched Giotto bent over his end-table, an unknown redhead leaning over him. His hands on Giotto's hips, his own thrusting into the blond. Tsuna watched as Giotto's eyes glazed over in hazy pleasure. Tsuna looked up at the redhead, who looked smug as he watched Tsuna. The unknown man's eye dancing in sick joy.
Looking back at Giotto, he watched as Giotto spoke three words that Tsuna knew a little too well.
"I-I l-lov...I love...you."
Feeling dirty at the thought, Tsuna shivered. He heaved a dry sob, his tears finally stopping. All those memories made him feel dirty.
He wondered if Giotto ever actually love him.
His sobs quieted down and threw his pillow across his room. His arms wrapped around his baby bump and Tsuna whispered little "I love you's" to the babies.
"You don't need him as a father..." the brunet mumbled, his arms tightening at the feel of fluttering. "I love you both enough for the both of us..."
Giotto would have been a horrible father anyway.

Tsunayoshi laughed as a little blonde girl jumped on his back. Her short pigtails tickled his cheeks. The brunet could feel a sudden weight on his legs as a mop of dirty blonde hair wrapped himself around his father's legs.
"You two!" Tsuna bit out between laughs, falling onto the couch from losing his balance.
"Daddy!" the two kids giggled as they unhooked themselves. They gave their father a bright smile, one that tore at Tsuna's heart. Then they made a run for it. Childish laughs echoing down the hallway.
Tsuna smiled to himself before chasing after the two. "_, _, get back here! You munchkins!"
Another set of childish giggles rang around the room. The little girl dashed across, running into the kitchen of the small apartment. The brunet chased after her, running to pick her up. His arms wrapped around her tiny body as he caught her, and he spun around the room. Her shrill laughter was like music to his ears. The girl squirmed in Tsunayoshi's arms as he came to stop. The same mop of dirty blonde tackled his legs again, and he squirmed, trying to climb onto Tsuna's back.
"Daddy!" he whined, pulling on Tsuna's shirt.
Kneeling down, Tsuna moved the girl onto his knee as her small arms hooked around the collar of his shirt. The little boy jumped up onto Tsuna's back, his arms fastening around the brunet's neck.
"You two ready to go?"
"Yes!" they both squealed in unison.
He rose his arm and pointed to the ceiling. "Good, to Grandma and Grandpa's we go!"
They both yelled simultaneously and victoriously as Tsuna charged toward the door of their small apartment.
Blue eyes sparkling with childish and familiar happiness froze in his mind as it all began to morph into silvery nothingness. The shrill laughter deepening, resounding against the empty expanse, morphing into a certain husky, breathy laugh that Tsuna knew all to well. Blue eyes began to form from nothing, followed by the messy blonde hair and tan features.
Before he knew it, Tsuna was staring Giotto. The Giotto he knew and loved. Those lips spoke calmly, but no sound came out. The words slowly wrapping around Tsunayoshi like a blanket.
"I love you, Tsuna."
There was the shrill cry of children and everything went black.
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.
Tsuna woke up in a fright, locks of sweaty brown hair stuck to his skin and his clothes felt even stickier. He looked around his room. The familiar beige walls, posters, an other items that scatter around the walls and floor of his rooms sent a rush a relief throughout his body.
'It was just a dream,' he reassured himself, relaxing into his blankets. He took a deep breath and looked up to his ceiling.
The picture of the little blonde girl and dirty blond haired boy settle in his mind. They both had their father's eyes. Those blue eyes.
Their image was replaced by Giotto as that laugh followed.
Tsuna shivered involuntarily.
The flutter of the twins shook the image out of his mind and a smile broke out on his face. He curled around the bump, his arms resting on top.
He was going to make that dream come true.
Even if it was by himself.

After just relaxing for half an hour, the brunet made his way downstairs for breakfast. He was in the mood for eggs with chocolate syrup for some reason. He dragged himself to the kitchen. Before he could walk through the threshold, Kyoko flung herself at him.
"Tsuna, sweetie, I'm so sorry!" she whined as Tsuna found his face being pushed into his best friend's cleavage. He made a few strangled screeches that were drowned out by Kyoko coos. "That guy was always an ass-hole! I knew it the moment I saw him!"
Tsuna pried himself out of Kyoko's hug, frowning. "No, you didn't, Kyoko. Then again, neither did I...Wait, how did you figure it out?"
Tsuna noticed the faint blush on the girl's cheeks. "W-well...I heard from Chrome, who heard from Hibari, who heard from Mukuro, who told Basil. Both Basil and Chrome talked to me. Basil also talked to your dad, who went to talk to him last night."
Tsuna just nodded.
"Your father apparently beat the crap out of Giotto!" Kyoko spoke with a guilty smile. "I kinda want to give him a knuckle sandwich right in the family jewels, just for being such a dick."
Tsuna laughed a bit, walking over to the fridge. So, everyone already knew everything. He frowned, opening the door and reaching for the eggs. Tsuna had the niggling feeling that his life was going to turn into that one he-said-she-said drama about teen pregnancy. He sighed and placed the eggs on the counter.
"Are you okay, Tsuna?" Kyoko mumbled, leaning on the counter to the left of the stove, "I know it's kinda of soon, but how are you taking all this?"
The brunet shrugged. He reached for a bowl from the cupboard. He was really confused at this point. After crying his heart out last night, he was left feeling numb. There was only a dull ache pulling at his heart, but Tsunayoshi was sure that if he saw Giotto, then that horrible sinking feeling would return. The feeling of drowning in something that he couldn't control. In this case, it was control over who Giotto kept dear to him.
"It's fine, Kyoko," Tsuna sighed, opening the carton of eggs. "I would be lying if I said that I didn't see this coming." He grabbed a couple eggs, hitting the centres on the ridge of the bowl, and cracked the contents into the bowl.
Kyoko wrapped the brunet in a hug, once again. "Still...I know you didn't expect him to be cheating, and the whore he was sleeping with got away with out a scratch!"
Tsuna sniffed. "I know. Maybe it's a shot to the ego, I don't know, but I still like that little shit and I've two kids on the way."
"I can understand that, sweetie. Just think, you'll meet a much better guy!" Kyoko spoke, softly. "This guy will be much better than that asshole. Then, the only connection you'll have with Giotto will be your kids."
Tsunayoshi smiled a bit at the thought. He really hoped Kyoko was right.

Giotto and G flinched as the younger blond's door slammed open and the seething Sawada stomped his way in, grabbing Giotto by his shirt.
"You worthless bag of shit," the older blond growled. "You're cheating on my son, you know, the one you knocked up."
Giotto yelped, trying to pull Iemitsu's hand off his shirt. The grip only tightened as Giotto was pulled closer toward Tsuna's father. The younger blond refused to look him in the eye as he was brought closer. G just sat frozen from the bed.
"I-it was t-the only time, s-sir," Giotto stuttered.
G snorted, but immediately covered his mouth when Iemitsu's glare landed on him.
"You got something to say, you ass?"
G resisted the urge to flinch, swallowed thickly, and shook head.
Iemitsu turned his glare back on the younger blond, ignoring G for the moment. Iemitsu stared at Giotto for a moment, his fist clenching at his side. "What ever gave you the right to cheat on my son?" the older blonde asked slowly, through gritted teeth.
The younger blond looked over at G. Was there even a reason? Giotto could remember the day G appeared in front of his apartment, but he couldn't remember when they started having sex, let alone why it all started.
"I-I don't know, sir," Giotto whispered, his eyes narrowing on the headboard of his bed.
The answer didn't please Tsuna's father and Giotto found himself momentarily unable to breathe. Iemitsu pulled Giotto closer.
"My son deserves better than worthless trash than you," he spat. "He's better off without you, even with your two bastard children in him."
Giotto's eyes widened and his head whipped to meet the older blond's eyes. "What do you mean two?" he demanded, starting to try to push out of the iron grip on his shirt. "Tsunayoshi hasn't said anything about—Is that why he came to see me?"
Iemitsu scratched his head with his free hand. "I don't know, but that doesn't matter now, 'cuz I'm not letting you back into my son's life." With a couple punches to the gut and face, Iemitsu dropped the blond. Snorting, he looked pleased at the fact that the weak managed to knock the bastard out. Iemitsu looked over to bed, and cursed.
When did that red headed one get away?

After making the eggs, Kyoko offered the idea of a movie marathon with a bunch of girly chick flicks and violent, bloody, and gore-filled horror and action movies. Tsuna readily agreed and ran to get a bowl of popcorn ready.
"What do you want to watch first?" Kyoko yelled as she went through the Sawada family collection of movies. "Do you wanna started with your mom's eighties chick flicks or nineties rom-coms...Or the gore?"
"Gore!" Tsuna called out, pouring the bag of popcorn in a bowl. "I've cried enough for right now!"
Tsuna walked out of the kitchen and looked over at the door, hearing the familiar ring of the doorbell. He looked over to Kyoko, who settling down on the couch. Kyoko shrugged, and pulled the blanket from the back of the couch around herself. The brunet walked into the room, passed the bowl to Kyoko, and walked back towards the door. Pushing on his tip-toes, Tsuna looked through the peep-hole and saw the edges of navy hair and the Kokuyo uniform.
"Who is it?" Kyoko wondered.
"Mukuro," Tsuna replied back as he opened the door. "What's up, Mukuro?"
Mukuro smiled warily with a small wave and asked, "Can I come in?"
Tsunayoshi blinked, stepped to the side, and opening the door enough for the navy haired man to come in. Mukuro stepped in, hesitantly.
"How are you holding up, Tsuna?"
Tsuna felt a flash of hurt. Though, as soon as it was there, it was gone. He gave Mukuro the best smile he could. "Better than last night. I'm having a movie marathon with Kyoko to help."
Mukuro smiled. "That's good." The illusionist paused for a moment. "I'm really sorry about yesterday. I shouldn't have taken you to his house." Mukuro watched the smile falter, and immediately felt guilty.
"It's not your fault," the pregnant brunet breathed. "So, why are you here?"
"Yeah, why are you here?" Kyoko asked, her head appearing from behind the wall of the living room.
Mukuro looked away, and sighed. "W-well," he paused in speaking for a moment, "after everything yesterday, I went to see Byakuran." Mukuro walked into the living room, followed by the brunet. The Kokuyo student sat down on the couch, placing his face in his hands. "H-he...He was with that girl, the small one who helped with the ultrasounds. He was hugging her closely and I just ran...Before I knew it, I was over here..."
Tsuna frowned. Byakuran and Yuni? "Are you sure? 'Cuz Yuni has a boyfriend."
Mukuro glowered at Tsuna and growled, "I know what I saw."
Kyoko looked over at Tsuna, doubt in her eyes. Even though she only met the two once, Kyoko knew the annoyance that Byakuran was to Yuni. Tsunayoshi knew it also.
"He had this loving look in his eyes when he was looking at her," Mukuro continued, the glare gone.
Tsuna's eyes widened in realisation and he jumped up. "Wait! Yuni's boyfriend is in the hospital!"
A smiled ghosted Mukuro lips and he chuckled softly. "Is that so?"
The brunet and the girl looked at each other again. Tsuna sighed, wrapping an arm around the older male.
"It'll be okay, Mukuro..."

Author's Note: My writing has turned to shit. . _ . This chapter had me messing up a bit. I didn't know how to write about half of this chapter. I think it turned okay. It could have turned out better...
BTW, who do YOU want Tsuna to end up with?
AND, what do YOU want the babies to be named?
FINALLY, next chapter there will be a time-skip. Nothing to bad, like two months at most, but I need to speed this story up. Hope this won't make anyone mad.
That's it for now! Bye! :)
