He's WHAT?
"Oh my God! We're gonna have a baby!" Oz's voice sounded more than overjoyed.
"WHAT?" Came the reply from both Gil and Alice, who still sat outside the bathroom door.
"You're gonna be a Mommy!" Oz concluded, walking back over to Gil, and throwing his arms around his shoulders, nuzzling against him.'
The 'mommy' statement made Gil's heart drop. A mommy? He wasn't even fifteen yet! Instead of hugging Oz back, his arms hung limply at his side as he stared at the wall behind Oz in horror. It wasn't right for a male to get pregnant, how could this have happened?
"We're going to be parents! This is so awesome!" Oz exclaimed with a smile brightening his features. Gil wondered if his Young Master thought about the consequences of the pregnancy. How was the kingdom going to react when they realize that one of their servants is pregnant with a future Duke? And at the ripe age of fourteen? Oz would more than likely be looked down on upon, or they'll just mask it from the public. But... What were they going to do to him? That thought terrified Gil and he wished that Oz would give him an answer.
"W-What's going to happen? I mean... It's not right..."
The smile on Oz's lips softened a bit. "They should be happy... But..."
"But, what?" Gil asked nervously.
"I want to raise it outside of this castle."
That decision made Gil's eyes widen in horror. "What? But we wouldn't be able to make it on our own... Where would we stay?" He questioned breathlessly as he looked at Oz. "We're only fourteen!" He added matter-of-factly. The idea of leaving this place scared him almost as much as being pregnant did.
"We'll talk to Uncle Oscar!"
Oz moved to make a run for the door, but Gil pulled him back by the arm. He stopped and turned to look at the other teen curiously. "What?" He asked, tilting his head a little bit.
"He can't know. I don't want anyone to know."
Oz blinked at this, his smile slowly fading. "But..." He trailed a moment, turning fully to face Gilbert. "That's the beauty of having a baby. Showing him or her off, isn't it?" It was almost as if he was questioning himself for a short moment, before looking back to Gil, who shook his head.
"Oz!" He whined, clinging to his arm. "What about you? What will they do to you for all of this?" He tried, hoping that would talk some sense into the slightly older boy. Oz just laughed and waved a dismissive hand.
"They can't really do anything to the future Duke of the Bezarius family, now can they? Besides, Alice has our back, dont'cha, Ally!"
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Alice yelled from the other room. It sounded like she wanted to kick the door in, which, in turn, frightened Gilbert more.
"Ah, Alice. It's okay. You should really calm down, or you'll be too tired to eat the turkey the crazy maid lady is making!" He called back, turning back to Gil with a more serious, yet soft smile, tilting his head some. "Gilbert, you trust me, right? I'm not asking you as your 'Young Master', I'm asking you as your friend." Or were they technically 'dating' now? Gil had to swallow the lump in his throat, still tugging almost pathetically on Oz's sleeve as if begging for it to be kept a secret.
He wasn't aware of how bad just that was hurting the blond. After all, Oz was a master at hiding how he truly felt. "Please, Oz...I trust you, but...I'm scared..." He whispered, and Oz bit back a sigh, giving a weak nod. Gil seemed to relax just a little bit, and Oz took his hand, starting to lead him to the bathroom door, where they were greeted by a very displeased Alice. The second they were out of the bathroom door, Alice pulled him away from Gil and slammed him against the wall, her eyes narrowed.
"You are my manservant. You are not allowed to be getting people pregnant!" She growled out, and Oz just simply smiled, ruffling her hair.
"Silly rabbit. The conception of a baby, and the birth is a very beautiful thing. You started out just like that, a little tiny egg in your mother's tummy, and then you grew, and grew, and grew, until you ran out of space. Then she had to..."
Five minutes later, both Alice and Gil looked ready to pass out. How the hell did Oz know so much about childbirth?
...Well, when you had too much free time, and were able to get away from the maids, it's a wonder what kind of books you can get your hands on...
"And then the baby grows up to be...Well, you get the point, yes?"
"Toilet!" Alice said, heading for the bathroom.
"Bed..." Gil managed, before he started to collapse. Oz caught him and chuckled.
"I'm sorry, Gilbert." He spoke softly, lifting the boy carefully to help him to the bed, and let him lay down, with many protests from Gil, and the responses of 'Just do it' from Oz.
A little bit of time had passed, Gil had fallen asleep, and Oz and Alice were watching him. "Hn. What a nuisance." Alice muttered, standing up. "I want some me...Oz?" She asked, looking to the blond with curious eyes.
"He's ashamed..." Oz murmured, lowering his head so his bangs covered his face. "But, I'm use to it..."

Well, here's the second chapter. Poor Oz never catches a break, does he? First his Daddy, then Alice abuses him. Now Gil's hurting his feelings...
Awwwwwww!
