Kismet

Chapter Forty-Four: Invaded

Lovino laid out a blanket on the nursery floor and smiled placing several toys around it. He then turned to the crib where the twins sat chewing on their hands. He picked them up and set them on the blanket.

They were five months old and could sit up on their own when sat that way and when they had a blanket rolled up and tucked around their legs and back. Romana could push up on her hands for a moment and could already roll from her stomach to her back. Tristán … not so much. He preferred to just lay back on the blankets and put things in his mouth.

Romana gurgled and grabbed the wooden block by her side and brought it to her mouth before it slipped from her grasp. Lovino smiled and picked it up and handed it back to her.

He looked at Tristán, a bit worried. His sister was developing so quickly and was already rolling and so close to crawling. She was always making noises. Her brother … he was content being quiet and laying as still as any baby could and just watch people walk around him with a toy in his hands.

However, he did seem to be better at listening than she was. His head always turned toward Antonio or Lovino when either spoke and he would just watch them. She ignored everyone even when they spoke to her, though she mimicked some syllables she heard.

Lovino sighed, looking down at his son. The child let his toy roll off of his chest and he sniffled and began crying and kicking his legs. The queen reached for it and, instead, rolled Tristán over, hoping today he would catch up with Romana and roll to his back.

"Come on, Triss … I know you can do it …" Lovino cheered softly. Tristán attempted it, but gave up and got frustrated. His mama sighed and rolled him back over and handed him his fallen toy.

Romana waved her hand, trying to figure out how to grab the block by her feet and toppled over to her back. She laughed and Lovino smiled. He loved when they laughed.

He helped her sit back up and put a pillow behind her back to help her keep balance. The toy was given back to her, but she refused it and began crying. Lovino frowned and picked her up. She sniffled, but didn't actually stop crying.

Tristán seemed fine on the blanket, so Lovino rose to his feet and walked her to the cushioned table he used to change her while they were in the nursery.

Lovino wasn't happy with it, but since both babies could sleep through the night with little problem, they were moved into the nursery. The door was left open so Lovino could still wake up if either of them woke up and cried.

On the upside, Antonio and Lovino got plenty more alone time with out worry of waking the babies.

Romana cried after being set down. Lovino checked her diaper, but the cloth was dry. It wasn't the babies' lunch time and she'd eaten well at breakfast, so she couldn't be hungry. He sighed. She was growing, so maybe a snack wouldn't hurt.

He had Femke go fetch some of their pureed food. She came back and handed him a tray with two bowls of mashed carrots.

Neither baby was hungry and turned it down, but she kept crying. She wasn't really one to cry so much and it unnerved him a little.

"I'll go find mama," Femke smiled nervously, knowing that when the babies were upset or in any kind of discomfort or trouble, Lovino became unbearably overprotective and dickish to everyone around him.

He nodded and began bouncing Romana in his arms, praying there was nothing wrong with her. He was still on edge from the Tristán scare and made sure there was plenty of children's potion locked up safely in the nursery, his room and the medic's room. He wasn't taking any chances on his children getting sick like that again.

Lovino pressed a kiss to her head and gasped. She had a fever. He began to panic. Was she sick now? She seemed so strong!

"Having baby trouble?" Tessa asked, walking in.

"She's got a small fever and she won't stop crying …" Lovino trembled, hoping to just hand her to Tessa while he found the potion to give it to her.

Tessa smiled, walking up to the crying baby, "She's also drooling more than usual." the woman wiped up some drool with a burp cloth, "Lovino, dear, are your hands clean?"

Lovino looked at her, slightly insulted. He never let anyone, even himself, touch the babies without clean hands, "Of course!"

"Stick your finger in her mouth and feel her gums … she might be teething."

"T-teething? Already? She's still so small …" his heart thumped sadly as he slipped his finger into her mouth and began to massage her gums, maybe looking for teeth or a spot where a tooth was coming in. Her tearful eyes slipped closed and she sniffled, contentedly.

Tessa smiled, "Yeah, she's teething alright … nothing you can do but make sure she has something to chew on and maybe continue massaging her gums like that. It seems to make her feel better."

Lovino nodded sadly. It meant she was growing up and while that was something any parent would hope for (a happy, healthy growing child) it saddened him to know they were growing too fast. Soon they would be all grown up and they wouldn't need their mama anymore.

Tessa left his side to take care of Tristán, whom was in need of a diaper change. It was time for their nap and since Romana had fallen asleep already, it didn't take much more than a lullaby to get the other one rested as well.

"Mama, can you watch them again?" Lovino sighed, looking down at them in their crib, "I've been slacking again on my duties trying to help Tristán learn to roll over … is that normal? He's so far behind Romana."

"Lovino, I'd watch them any day, any time and of course!" she laughed. He looked at her, "When Daan was a baby, he was crawling at seven months, but Femke didn't start her crawling until eight months. She could say 'mama' at six months, but Daan didn't speak at all until he was two years.

"Babies develop at different rates, and I'm sure it's the same for them. You have to keep in mind, Tristán is weaker than his sister to begin with. He might need a little more time to grasp certain things. Don't worry about him not being at the same level she is. He'll learn it soon enough." Lovino nodded, "Thanks mama. I'm off now. I'll see you two later~" he whispered to the babies before heading to his office.

After sorting through messages, determining which ones were of more importance and would go directly to the king from the less important ones. After a few hours of that, he grew restless and was missing his babies and Antonio.

Months passed quickly and Tristán eventually learned everything his sister did. Romana had almost all of her teeth by the time of their first birthday and could say 'mama' and 'papa' as well as 'no-no' and a few other little words. Lovino had cried for hours when they had said 'mama', both out of joy and sadness that they were so big and growing up.

Tristán had several teeth, but was more talkative than his sister. He knew all the words she knew and more.

It was the days of their first birthday and Lovino picked up Romana with tears in his eyes. They'd grow way too fast already and now they were a year old. Both could walk now and he always had difficulty keeping up with them when they went walking down the halls. He was thankful for Ariana and her possessiveness over the twins.

Tristán rose in his bed and teared up, "Mama! Up!"

Lovino reached into the crib with his other arm and scooped him up as well, "My babies!" he hugged them close.

"Lovino? Are you ready to take them to the celebration?" Tessa smiled, walking in.

"Almost. I still have to get their circlets." he muttered, setting them on the floor. They stumbled towards Tessa and she knelt to kiss their foreheads.

The queen placed their respective circlets on and smiled lightly, "My prince and princess~!"

Tessa chuckled as Romana reached up to grab the band, but Lovino pushed her hand away and ran his finger through the short dark curls on her head. Her brother's hair grew a lot longer than hers, but took after Lovino's, so it hung straight.

"Now they're ready." he picked them up and Tessa smiled.

"I can't believe Antonio is throwing such a huge party for their first birthday!"

"Neither can I." Lovino growled, lightly, "I really wish he wouldn't." Romana rested her head on her mama's shoulder and Tristán leaned his head back to look around and find Ariana, a favorite pass time of his. He usually clapped the moment he spotted her bright orange and red feathers.

They entered the ball room and the crowds began cheering for the little royals, everyone congratulating them, but knowing better than to get too close to the babies.

Most people learned from Lovino's hard, unapproachable gaze or Ariana's fierce bite and it they didn't learn it there, it was learned from someone who did learn the hard way.

Antonio walked up to Lovino and kissed him passionately before running his hands over the babies' heads and taking Tristán.

The night was long (but not too long since the children had to go to bed) and Lovino even smiled a few times when he got to go out on the dance floor with his husband and two more times with the babies. Tristán giggled non stop getting to swirl around with his mama.

Romana didn't enjoy it as much.

Once they were put to bed, Antonio pulled Lovino off to the side, "Um … Lovino … you're not going to like this …"

"I rarely do." Lovino growled, pulling his hands from Antonio's, wondering what was going on now.

Antonio sighed, "We're going to war."

"War?" Lovino glared. War meant deaths, famine, taxing the people, losing the people, sending the people to die … he, Antonio and the twins would be in constant danger of rebellions and not to mention assassinations from their side and the other side, "No. no war."

"Lovi … we have no choice. The prince of Extyr is trying to invade our land. I can't just let him take it …"

Lovino growled. They really couldn't, but the kingdom was just bouncing back after clearing Sverran of dragons. He let out a sigh, "Fine. But you're NOT invading him back, just to invade him … that sounded wrong … so, fucking wrong … you'd better not 'invade' him either." Lovino poked his chest.

Antonio laughed lightly and kissed Lovino, "You're the only one I 'invade'~" he pulled his body against Lovino's. Lovino moaned into the fiery kiss Antonio pressed into his lips and 'invaded' his mouth with his tongue. Lovino ran his fingers through Antonio's hair as the man slowly moved them to the bed.

He pressed his husband into the sheets and began trailing hot kisses down his neck. Lovino gasped and moaned as Antonio pulled their crowns and tossed them aside, then slipped his hands underneath the robe like vest and rubbed his thumb over the fabric, peaking his nipple.

He nibbled his love's neck and pinched the nipple. Lovino gasped and Antonio smirked, pulling away the belt that held the ensemble together. The clothes came off quickly and Antonio smiled down at his naked husband. Lovino blushed, trying to cover himself under Antonio's intense gaze, but Antonio pulled his hands away and smiled lovingly, "Don't … you should know by now how much I love you and your gorgeous body."

Lovino blushed deeper.

"This is the very same body that gave me two beautiful children … I just wanted to take it all in~"

The queen smiled and pulled Antonio down for a deep kiss, "It's not fair that I'm the only one naked."

"But it's necessary~" he kissed his softly, but chastely. Lovino frowned when Antonio kissed his jaw. Lovino sighed happily with each kiss that seemed to burn his skin.

Down his neck, lingering on his choker. Down his chest, stopping for a moment to lick and bite his nipples, earning soft gasps and moans from Lovino. His lips pressed more kisses down his belly, ghosting his lips over the faint year-old scar. And down to his throbbing member.

Lovino moaned Antonio's name loudly as the man took all of Lovino into his mouth and began sucking his love. The queen shot up into a sitting position and tried to push Antonio off, but a wave of pleasure coursed through him and he shuddered, gripping Antonio's hair. It had been a terribly long time since Antonio had done anything like this for Lovino.

Antonio raised his hand to Lovino's mouth, which Lovino took and sucked. When the older man pulled them from his mouth and spread his legs further, his face became ever darker red. The king slowly pushed his fingers into Lovino in search of that special bundle of nerves. When he struck them, Lovino gasped and rocked his hips up.

The older man hit the spot again and Lovino pulled at Antonio's hair, not lasting as long as he would have liked.

"T-Toni! I'm gonna … nnnng! I'm gonna come!"

Antonio struck the spot again and sent Lovino into his orgasm. The younger man spilled his seed and Antonio lapped it up.

He pushed Lovino down onto the bed and bit down on his neck, leaving little red marks down to his shoulder.

Lovino moaned, already feeling himself hardening again. He fumbled to pull Antonio's clothes away, "Mmm … Toni … I need you … please …" he gasped into his love's ear.

Antonio moaned, feeling the fire in the pit of his belly. He quickly did away with his clothes, slicked himself with the oils and plunged into his love's waiting entrance.

Lovino gasped and wrapped his arms around Antonio's neck, waiting a moment before egging Antonio on to move. The Sverran king pulled himself out and thrust back in. Lovino cried out in pleasure and met Antonio's rocking, letting his head roll back each time Antonio brushed passed or hit his little spot.

Antonio licked the shell of Lovino's ear and Lovino dragged his nails through Antonio's hair, "God … Toni … nnng …"

"Lovi!" Antonio moaned, thrusting again into his love, "God … Lovi … you feel so good … I'm gonna …"

Lovino shut him up by pressing his lips into Antonio's. Antonio moaned into the kiss and thrust a few more times before releasing into his queen. Lovino gasped, feeling the hot seed spill into him and reached his own second climax for the night.

Antonio kissed him softly, "I love you, my sweet."

"I love you, too … Antonio …" Lovino smiled, catching his breath, "so much …"
