A Child chp.10

-The next day-

Over night the pain had somewhat decreased, and it would only hurt when they moved too much or someone grabbed it hard.

-Fran&Bel still the infirmary-

Fran was still in the infirmary bed but this time Bel had joined him for the night. Since the bed was specially ordered, it was larger than normal and could fit two people. Bel had brought their blanket from their bed down to the infirmary as well. It was around noon and the couple was still cuddling in bed, asleep.

"Franny-chan~ time for your medicine~" Lussuria broke the spoke as he pulled the heavy curtain back, letting the afternoon sun filter through.

"Nnn… Luss I'm still sleepy can't you just put it into the IV?" Fran answered sleepily. Lussuria giggled.

"Sure deary~ Oh! And I got a phone-call from your master Mukuro. He says he has to talk to you about something. Hmm… what was it… I think it was about betraying him or something, by marrying into mafia… Well he says he's coming over~" Lussuria injected some painkillers into Fran's IV. (A.N. If you're wondering why they have IVs then think. If their pelvic bone is shifting and it hurts. Wouldn't it hurt even more if they ate solids? How would he waste be expelled?) Fran nodded sleepily. Then the words sunk in.

"Shishou?" Fran sat up quickly but winced when pain shot up his spine.

"Fran-chan! You have to take it easy!" Lussuria tried to get Fran lying down again. Their scuffle had awakened the prince.

"Shishi~ The peasants must have a death-wish for awakening the prince~" Lussuria froze while Fran turned to him.

"Sempai~ now's not the time! I have to hide!" Fran said urgently.

"Shishi~ Why princess?"

"Master is coming to see me! And he knows I'm getting married to you! Do you know what he'll do?" Fran deadpanned but the words still got across.

"Shishi~ the prince will protect you~"

"Sempai~ you can't be seen either! Master will kill both of us!"

"Shishi~ fine princess, have it your way. Anyway when is he coming?" Fran looked over at Lussuria.

"He said around noon." They all looked at the clock. Noon exactly.

"Shit." Fran stood from the bed and winced falling back down.

"Fran! Take it easy! You are still a hurt!" Lussuria exclaimed, but not loud enough to make Fran faint.

"You don't know master. If you knew his rage…" Fran tried to get up again.

"Froggy sit, or I'll make Squalo yell." Bel said in a demanding tone, "If you hurt yourself the baby could also get hurt."

"That's why I have to hide." Fran said desperately.

"Wha-! The prince will kill him if that pineapple so much as harms a hair on princess's head!" Bel got up angrily from the bed.

"Sempai~ Take me with you~" Fran said as Lussuria tried to calm Fran down enough to lay him down again.

"Fran-chan! Why don't you send your illusion to greet him instead!" Lussuria said trying to at least sit Fran down. Fran froze.

"I forgot about that… It might work." Fran deadpanned and put his head on his fist in thought. Hmm… there is a slight chance Mukuro may look through his illusion… but that was unlikely… It might just work.

"I'll do it." Fran nodded his head and sat back down, wincing slightly at contact. Fran concentrated hard and conjured up an illusion.

"Shishi~ Identical princesses~" Bel grinned. The Illusion was an exact copy of Fran, except his stomach and chest was flat.

"Well it's convincing. So it should work." The illusion Fran and Fran talked simultaneously. Then someone walked into the infirmary.

"Lussuria-san." It was one of Luss's underlings.

"I told you to call me ne-chan~" Luss said.

"Y-yes… Ne-chan… Mukuro-san is in the living room." The underlings said, "He requests to see Fran-san."

"Okay dearie~ Time to go Fran-chan~" Luss ushered the fake Fran out of the room.

-Living room-

In the living room Mukuro stood in front of the fireplace's mantle looking at the pictures placed there. There seemed to be many pictures of the Fran and Bel together, as well as the Varia boss and his right hand man. Warning bells seemed to go off in Mukuro's head, but he ignored them. There was a large picture of the whole Varia, apart from their underlings, hanging just above the mantle piece. In the picture, Xanxus was sitting on his armchair with one leg on top of the other while Squalo sat on his lap looking sideways at the camera, with a slight blush on his cheeks. Behind the chair a sulking Levi and flamboyant peacock smiling gaily. To Xanxus's right stood a solemn Mammon still counting his cash, not even bothering to look up at the camera. To Xanxus's left was Fran and Bel. Mukuro glared. Bel had wrapped his arms around Fran's waist and rested his head on the crook of Fran's neck. Fran himself had just put his hands over Bel's arms that was around his stomach and had a small blush dusting his cheeks. The prince was getting too close to his little one. Mukuro's fatherly instinct told him it was bad.

"Master~ why are you here?" a monotone voice broke the silence.

"Oya oya. That's no way to greet your master little one~" Mukuro smirked.

"What do you need shishou?" Fran drawled, "You didn't even call before you visit. That's considered rude master~"

"Kufufu, I did call little one. You didn't pick up." Mukuro smirked.

"Well leave a message at least." Fake-Fran said folding his arms.

"Kufufu little one, I did~ With the sun guardian." Mukuro smirked again.

"…" Fran didn't say anything.

"Kufufufu~ Speechless little one?"

"…" Fran's Illusion wavered a bit and fake-Fran's tips on his hair vanished slightly before reappearing.

Back in the infirmary Fran cursed.

"Bel-sempai! Stop it! I'm losing concentration of the illusion!" Bel was groping Fran's torso and baby bump. Caressing it gently while kissing Fran's neck.

In the living room Mukuro raised an eyebrow.

"Kufufu~ Little one your illusions have gotten better~ I almost didn't realize until you had a mishap~" Mukuro smirked and laughed, "Now where is your real body I wonder~ Kufufu~"

-Bel+Fran Infirmary-

"Shit! Sempai! Master is coming!"

"Shishi~ He won't know where to go~" Be smirked and continued his ministrations trying to leave a huge hickey on Fran's neck.

"Master is an illusionist, and he can sense my flames!" Fran panicked and tried to get up but Bel pushed him down.

"Sit froggy. Shishi~ the prince won't let you hurt yourself~ That's the prince's job~ Shishi~" Fran sweat dropped but stopped struggling.

"Shit!" With that, Fran dove under the covers and curled up into the best ball shape he could manage.

"Froggy?" Bel asked confusedly, but he wasn't confused for long.

"Little one~ You know it's impossible to hide from me~" Mukuro entered the infirmary, "Oya oya? Is little one hurt?" Mukuro turned towards Fran's bed, but he couldn't see him yet as the curtains were pulled around it.

'SHLICK!' Mukuro pulled the curtains back forcefully. As he took in the situation, Fran under the covers with Bel, he smirked.

"Oya Oya? Is the little one being naughty?" Mukuro's trident appeared. Bel threw a knife.

'Clang!' Mukuro deflected the knife and it fell to the floor.

"Kufufufu… what are you doing with my little one?" Mukuro glared at Bel. Bel met his glare head on and stood his ground.

"Shishi~ Don't hurt the prince's princess." Bel glared under his mop of hair.

"Oya Oya? Princess? Little one have you caused a trouble?"

"Mnhpfglar…" was Fran's only explanation, his monotone muffled by the blanket.

"Kufufu… I don't think that's very mannerly little one…" Mukuro said. Suddenly lotus vines grew out of nowhere and lifted the blanket off of the bed. Fran gasped and tried to hide behind Bel's skinny frame. Mukuro was speechless. Then he started laughing.

"Kufufufu… your illusions are better little one. I actually thought that you were pregnant… you can undo it now little one." Mukuro laughed as he smirked. Fran stayed quiet.

"Little one… I'm waiting." Mukuro's tone got dangerous. Fran trembled. The hormones had changed his mood again. Fran trembled further as tears formed in the corners of his eyes. He whimpered quietly and curled closer towards Bel, hiding his face into Bel's leg. Bel put a hand on Fran's head and patted his hair calming him down. Mukuro did not miss this.

"What is wrong Fran." Mukuro's smirk disappeared and his tone turned serious, "Stop your illusions." Fran wrapped his arms around his stomach and trembled further.

"Shishi~ Pineapple-san. If you have only come to upset princess then the suggests you leave before he kills you." Bel said threateningly.

"Kufufufu. I take it that you're the one he is getting married to." Mukuro said humorlessly, "I have just come to clarify why he is getting married into mafia."

"I'm sure you can see why we are getting married pineapple-san. We love each other. Our child is proof of that! And the commander made us, because bastard children aren't accepted into mafia…" Bel finished his long explanation. Mukuro stayed silent.

"Is this true little one?" Mukuro broke the uneasy silence. Fran only nodded still hiding his face from view. Bel patted Fran's hair as he felt slight wetness on his pants from Fran's tears. Mukuro frowned at the motion. He walked over to the corner of the room and grabbed a chair. He pulled it to the edge of Fran's bed and sat down.

"Explain." So the explanation began.

Review? For me? Or flame me if you want =.=" Did you know that nothing rhymes with the words: Orange, Silver, Purple and Month? Try it! ^^ CYU~
