How the Phone Call "Really" went

(aka, Matt is not a jerk)

(aka 2.0, Gale and Edmund part B)

Matt's side-

"DUDE! Where have you been!" Alfred looked at his brother exasperated as he made his way into the house, letting the winter air inside with him. "The Stanley Cup is starting in five minutes! FIVE!" Alfred frowned, "I know you aren't entirely thrilled to be getting defeated by me-"

"Hey!" He held up his hands threateningly, "Who the heck said I was going down?"

"Your tardieness."

"Michigan Roads suck."

"Keskeskeskes" Matt turned and saw his best Friend sprawled on the couch along with Maddie, Amelia and Ludwig, grinning at him widely, "Your one to talk."

"He has a point."

"…Shut up Al." Matt moved to enter his living room, his intended target a seat between Gilbert and Ludwig, when-

"I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT!"

Matt jumped and everyone's heads whipped around to face him, everyone staring at him stunned(minus Al and Gilbert who were busting a gut) causing a deep blush to form. He quickly moved to the garage as other laughs joined the fray and pulled out his phone. He grumbled when he realized his girlfriend had again changed her ringtone. (At least it wasn't the annoying one Gill had set. One could only take 'I'm Awesome!' so many times)

"Hey Gale." He said leaning against the tool box, a small smile appearing despite the laughter he could still hear.

"Hey…..I have….. you."

"Huh?"

"Are you…. I need to tell…something."

"Gale I'm only hearing every other word I think…" Matt said confused as static ripped through his ears.

"It's important!"

"That I heard." He said frowning deeply. "I don't have great reception Gale-"

"I'm… just…tell you…I maybe-"

"Gale?' Matt felt his heart sink at the sudden silence he heard. " I missed that. Gale?" He pulled his phone away and frowned. He didn't have any bars and had obviously dropped the call. "Damn Michigan Signal."

"I HEARD THAT!" Amelia and Al yelled in sync.

Matt sighed and began a text and then walked around the garage looking for a place with any bars. Finding one he quickly sent a "Horrible service- Call you after the game" text. Hopefully nothing too important was going on.

Gale's side-

Gale took a deep breath as she waited for Matt to pick up. What was taking him so long? Usually he answered by the first ring. How un-awesome. She began twirling her hair as she waited, and let out a relieved sigh when she heard someone pick up.

"Hey…"

"Hey Matt. I have, um well, something to tell you."

"….?"

"Are you listening?" She asked less than pleased at the little she was hearing on his end. "I need to tell you something!" She looked down at the small contraption in by her nightstand and took a shaky breath. "Something big."

"Gale I'm…hearing every…word."

She felt frustrated at the pauses Matt was giving her as she talked. Was he trying to be funny? "It's important!"

"I heard."

"I'm sorry," Gale said hearing some frustration sinking into his voice now to. "I just called to tell you I may be pregnant though."

"DUH-DUH-DUH!: Gale jerked her phone away and felt her heart stop as she saw the blinking numbers in the corner of her screen and a small blue 'end" below them. Confusion raced through her, followed swiftly by anger. She threw her phone at the wall next to her, effectively breaking the screen, and snatched up the pregnancy test and chuckled it as hard as she could, also breaking that.

She stared at the small blue line still visible on the stupid thing and felt her heart drop to her knees. There was a chance that the awesome her was pregnant… and the un-awesome guy who did this to her… had just hung up right after she told him…

Hurt washed over her to the point she couldn't breath anymore. She just stared ahead blankly not being able to feel anything but the sadness coursing through her veins. Finally she fell back onto her bed and began to sob into her pillow.

Later/Aftermath-

"MATTHEW WILLAIMS!"

Everyone jumped as something banged on the door outside. "I'M GOING TO FREAKING KILL YOU!"

"What the Vell!" Gilbert said as he jumped up and looked out the window. "Holy Shit! Matt," He looked over worriedly. "What the Vell did you do to Edmund?"

Matt stared at the door as it stopped shaking and looked over at his brother, who looked equally as stunned as him. "Alfred, what did you do?"

"WHAT! It wasn't me! Maddie?"

"Canada is not who he's after!" She almost squeaked as she leaned into her sister and away from her counterpart. "He's looking for you!"

"Vat-" Ludwig asked coming out of his trance he had been in, "Could you of done? Elizabeth is always like this, but Edmund… I haven't heard him scream like that since I was a kind…."

"I didn't do anyth-ING!" Everyone screamed as the door suddenly burst open and a very pissed off Edmund stood in the door way holding, what looked like, a sharpened shovel. He quickly scanned the room and upon seeing Matt, made his way over mensingly.

"You! Give me one good reason I shouldn't kill you!"

"Dude!" Alfred grabbed Edmund's arm and turned him around to face him. "Calm down, are yu trying to start WWIII?" Matt felt a slight surge of Gratitude as Amelia also got up and stepped in between him and Edmund.

"I'm not here to kill Canada, just Matt." He suddenly spotted Gilbert and quickly piinted the shovel at him, "And I will have words with you once I'm done!"

"ME! What the Vell have I done!"

":Hopefully nothing or I will not stop Alfred and Amelia from gutting you. Oh, and Ludwig and Gill if you want to join in feel free."

"Hold up-" Amelia finally said looking utterly confused. "What the hell is going on here? Why are you trying to kill Matthew, of all people?"

"Gale's pregnant."

A pin could of dropped as everyone stared at the male nation startled. He growled and continued, "And earlier when she went to tell the daddy he hung up after getting the damn news!"

"WHAT!" Matt screamed as two angry girl's suddenly had him pinned against the couch. "MATTHEW WILLIAMS!"

"Don't!" Matt held up his hands, "I never got a call about… MAPLE!" he looked at Edmund suddenly horrified, "Did she call about an hour and a half ago?"

"Why?"

"Because my phone has no service here and when she was taking to me my phone dropped the call! I couldn't even hear half of what she said!"

Edmund suddenly lowered his sharpened shovel and looked at Matt confused. "Your phone-"

"Dropped the call!"

"Oh… um… well then…I um… I'll go tell- SHIT!" He suddenly whipped out his phone and was talking as he ran outside.

"FELICIA! LOVINO! STOP LANA! HIS PHONE DROPPED THE CALL! WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE AND ELIZABETH ALREADY GOT THE TANK WORKING!"

It was quiet for a moment as everyone stared either at the retreating figure or the Canadian male in silence.

"KESKESKES! Matt! I didn't know you had it in you!" Gilbert pounded him on the back and laughed, "So Am I an Uncle then?"

"…This is what we get for letting Francis give Matt the talk." Amelia said in monotone to Alfred. She grabbed Maddie, "I'm taking her to Alice. Maybe she can make her afraid as we were-"

"NO DO NOT GO THERE! SHE GAVE ME NIGHTMARES!" Alfred said holding up his hands in panic. "And you-" he looked at Matt, "I think you better talk to me about this… Arthur is going to kill you."

"Not," Ludwig said dangerously, "If get to him first. That is my sister you Ruck (idiot) and I am not exactly pleased at this news."

"….maple…."

"KESKESKES-"

"AND YOU! DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM! AND STAY AWAY FROM MY LITTLE SISTER!"

"…I un-awesomely hate you now too."

"Double Maple."

Plot bunny I have is this. If something happens to one of the counterpart couples and the other counterpart couples are dating, everyone immediately becomes suspicious of the second party, forget their innocence. (Example. Gale and Matt get prego, everyone watched Maddie and Gilbert like Hawks watching a bunny.)

(however if Amelia and Arthur were caught kissing, no one would look over at Alfred and Mei who went on a date later that evening. *shrug*)
