"Nothing good on tv." Lovino mumbled to himself, flipping through the channels. "Everything is total crap."
It had been about 2 weeks since Antonio and Lovino had returned home from the states. It was a fun trip (well with the exception of of morning sickness and having to lie about the whole pregnancy) but both could agree that it was much better to be home. Currently, Lovino was huddled in a few blankets while eating a carton of ice cream and pickles as he tried to find something decent on tv.
"Lovino, are you almost ready to go?" Antonio called out from somewhere in the house.
"What the crapola are you talking about?" Lovino called out after him.
The Italian dipped another slice of pickle in his rocky road ice cream just as Antonio walked in the living room. The older nation looked at him with disbelief, he was supposed to be ready to go!
"You have a doctors appointment in an hour!" Antonio told him, placing his hands on his hips.
"Oh right, I forgot." Lovino nodded, biting into the pickle with a crunch. "I'll be ready in a few minuets, go wait in the car for me you jerk."
"Don't take so long, Lovi, okay?" Antonio replied.
"Don't rush me or else no more sex for you, ever." Lovino snapped after he swallowed his food.
Antonio sighed, walking off to the kitchen. Walking in, the phone started to ring so he immediately grabbed it off the receiver on the wall.
"Hola" Antonio answered the phone.
"Ve~ Ciao Toni!" Veneziano greeted from the other end.
Antonio smiled cheerfully. "Hola, Feli! How are you?"
"I'm good, grazie for asking! I was wondering if you and Lovino wanted to come over."
"Aye, I would love to but we're just heading out, Lovino has a doctor's appointment."
"Ohh. Is it for the baby?"
"Sí." Antonio nodded though he knew Feli couldn't see it.
"Ve~ Would you mind if I came along? Pleeease?"
Antonio chuckled. "Sure you can come along, it's no problem at all! Why don't you meet us over there? I'll text you the address."
"Okay! I'm so excited! I'll see you there."
"Okay, see you there!"
And with that, Antonio hung up the phone, placing it back on the receiver.
"Who the hell was that?" Lovino asked, walking in the kitchen.
"Your brother." The Spaniard answered truthfully.
"Oh." Lovino replied, putting away his ice cream. "What did he want?"
"He wanted us to come over but I told him we were going to your doctor's appointment so I told him he could tag along." The other explained.
"You idiota! Why would you let him tag along?! He's so annoying and ughh!" Lovino shouted before walking off.
Antonio raised and eyebrow and in less than 5 seconds, Lovino quietly came back to the kitchen, sniffling and tearing up.
"I-I'm sorry for yelling at you." Lovino sobbed.
God these hormones were a pain in the ass, Antonio was still not used to the sudden mood swings, they were truly something else.
"Lovino, it's fine, really." Antonio told him, walking over to the crying Italian and embracing him in a hug.
"Really? A-Are you sure?" Lovino sobbed out, looking up at Antonio before hiccuping.
"Sí I'm 100% sure. It's fine." Antonio assured him, kissing the top of the smaller nation's head.
Lovino wiped his eyes before smiling. "Okay, good." He quickly pulled away from Antonio, clearly in a cheerful mood now. "I'm gonna go dressed, I'll be back in a few minuets mio amore." Lovino giggled before walking off.
"Dios mio, how am I going to put up with that for another 7 months." Antonio muttered.
Sure enough, when the couple finally reached the doctor's office, there Feliciano was, standing right outside near his car, it looked like he'd been there for a few minuets now. Antonio and Lovino got out of the car and upon seeing them, Feli waved at them happily.
"You guys take forever." Feli complained, walking over to them.
"We don't take that long, you just drive like a maniac, that's how you got here so quickly." Lovino replied.
"I think I drive perfectly fine." Feli shrugged.
The three of them entered the building and Antonio signed Lovino in to see the doctor. While they waited, they all chatted about a few random topics even including Lukas and how he was doing. After about ten minuets, doctor Sanchez came out from the back and called up Lovino's name.
"Antonio, Lovino, It's so nice to see you again!" She mused upon seeing them, when she looked at Feli, she asked. "And who is this? I don't believe we've met."
"That's just my brother." Lovino waved off.
Once they all stepped into her office, Doctor Sanchez closed the door and said. "The famous Italy Veneziano, it's very nice to finally meet you."
"It's nice to meet you as well." Feliciano smiled.
The doctor returned the smile. "Lovino, could you lay down over there for me?" She instructed, pointing to the hospital bed. With a nod, Lovino made his way over to the bed and laid down. Antonio sat beside him and Feli just decided to stand next to Antonio. The three of them waited about ten minuets for Doctor Sanchez to get the ultrasound machine up and running, it didn't take long. When it was on, she came over with that dreadful gel.
"As you already know, this is gonna be a bit cold." She warned.
Lovino sighed and lifted up his shirt a little just enough for her to put that wicked substance on his skin. It was cold just as she said but Lovino already knew and expected that. Though it still caught him off guard every time. Doctor Sanchez took the wand off the machine and ran it over Lovino's belly.
"Hm where is it." She muttered to herself before pressing the wand down to just above his pelvic bone. "Ah there it is!"
This time around, Antonio and Lovino could definitely now distinguish where exactly the baby was. It was actually starting to look a little more recognizable. Just the sight of the little one made Lovino instantly happy.
"There's the baby's head, there are it's little arms. Oh! and there it's little legs!" Doctor Sanchez pointed out on the screen.
It took all his might, but Lovino was desperately trying not to cry or tear up at the moment. Maybe he wouldn't feel all emotional if his hormones were all crazy right now. Unexpectedly, The Italian felt Antonio hold onto his hand.
"Lovino, you look like you're about to explode." Antonio chuckled. "If you want to cry, just cry, it's alright. You should be happy."
Lovino instantly turned his head so nobody would see him let his tears free. He was happy, extremely happy.
"Aw don't worry fratello, I cried all the time when I had these ultrasound check ups." Feli smiled, hoping to comfort his brother.
"Well I don't cry." Lovino said, sniffling just before he wiped his eyes.
"So then what are you doing right now, Lovi?" Antonio teased with a smile.
"Shut up, I've got something in my eyes you damn bastard." He pouted, wiping his eyes yet again.
"If you're emotional now." Doctor Sanchez began. "I've got something that'll make you even more emotional, but in a happy way."
"What do you mean?" Antonio asked.
"We should be able to hear your baby's heart beat considering how far along you are. I have a machine that'll play it for you." She explained.
Doctor Sanchez typed in something on the machine to print out an ultrasound picture of the baby then retracted the wand from Lovino's belly.
"I've just made a print out of your little one, I'll get it in a moment but first." She said standing up. "Let's see if we can hear your baby's heart beat."
The little machine to do the job was in a cabinet on the other side of the room. One the doctor retrieved it, she walked back over to Lovino and turned the thing in, thankfully it was hand held and not something crazy big.
"Since you already have gel on you, I don't think I have to put anymore." She told Lovino.
"Thank god." Said Italian mumbled.
Doctor Sanchez placed the small machine's wand on to Lovino's belly just as she'd done a few minuet's before. There were a bunch of different weird sounds coming out of the speaker that all three of them, Antonio, Lovino and Feli didn't really recognize. Then suddenly, a sort of pounding sound started to play on the machine.
It was definitely their baby's heart beat.
Antonio was not ashamed to tear up and let his own tears dwell in the corners of his eyes. On the other hand, Lovino was holding it in as best as he could. But after a few seconds, he couldn't take it and started to cry tears of joy. They were silent tears, he tried extra hard not to sob and make a big deal out of everything. Who knew that little sound could be so moving? Especially since they had tried so hard to actually have a baby, it felt even better to hear that tiny heart beat. It was as if all their hard work really paid off.
"Would you like a tissue?" Doctor Sanchez smiled warmly at Lovino.
"No, I-I'm fine." Lovino waved off.
"Aw Lovi, you're so cute, getting emotional like that." Antonio grinned.
Remembering that they were still holding hands, Lovino squeezed Antonio's hand roughly with a blush on his cheeks.
"Don't call me cute you damn bastard!" Lovino snapped though he was secretly flattered at the compliment.
The Spaniard knew how Lovino was and knew that he was just acting tough for show and that he really did love it when he was called cute. And how could Antonio refrain from saying such a thing? It was true, Lovino was simply adorable.
"Lo siento, Lovi." Antonio laughed before kissing the Italian's cheek. "I love you."
Lovino hadn't even noticed he'd started to smile but he definitely replied with an, "I love you too."
All while Feliciano watched and cheerfully smiled at how adorable the two of them were together.
After leaving the doctor's appointment, all three of them traveled back to Feliciano's house for a bite to eat. Upon arriving, all three of the dogs, Blackie, Berlitz and Aster, ran up to them and barked excitedly. The noise certainly caught the attention of Lukas who was laying in his baby rocker and happened to be asleep a few seconds before but now he was fully up and cooing even.
"I'm home!" Feliciano called out before walking up to his son and lifting him up. "Look bambino, your zio Lovino and zio Antonio are here!"
"Hola bebé!" Antonio cooed to the little one which immediately caused Lukas to smile at him and coo back.
"Here, hold him while I look for Gilbert, he was probably supposed to be watching him." Feli said before placing the baby in Antonio's arms then he walked off to the kitchen.
"Hopefully Gilbert isn't like that when Austria has their kid." Lovino said before rolling his eyes.
"Oh I'm sure Gilly is gonna be a great dad! Well I mean Austria will probably force him too, Roderich is pretty forceful." Antonio replied.
"I know." Lovino nodded then sat down on the couch.
"It's hard to believe I was ever married to him, huh?" Antonio chuckled, sitting beside Lovino while still holding their nephew.
Turning to look at the other, Antonio could see Lovino's harsh glare, he forgot the Italian nation hated when he mentioned his previous marriage to Austria. Lovino always made excuses for the reason but Antonio always knew it was because he was a little jealous.
So with a nervous chuckle and smile Antonio tried to make the situation a little better, "But you know I love being married to you more, Lovino."
"Yea, yea, yea, bastardo." Lovino muttered before Feliciano came out from the kitchen.
"Okay so, I'll start the food in a few minuets and hopefully it'll be done in an hour or so!" The younger Italian smiled happily.
"You guys should definitely name the kid after me!" Gilbert exclaimed to Antonio and Lovino as they all sat at the table eating.
"No, I hate your name." Lovino told him before taking another bite of his food.
"Gilbert is an awesome name!" Said German nation protested, "Look, if it's a boy he can be named Gilbert and if it's a girl then her name could be Gilberta or Gilba!"
"Uh thanks for the suggestions, Gilly." Antonio grinned politely. "But I don't think we'll be naming the baby any of that."
"Ve~ Have you two thought of any names you like?" Feli asked from his seat across from the couple, feeding Lukas in his arms.
"Well I mean we haven't really talked about it." Lovino answered.
"Yea." Antonio nodded in agreement. "But we have lots of time so we don't have to come up with a name right away."
"These months are gonna fly by faster than you know it." Feliciano told them. "One day I found out was pregnant and then bam! Lukas was born, it happened so quickly."
"Yea it was like out of no where!" Gil agreed. "But I'm happy to have an awesome little Neffe!"
Lukas looked over to Gil and smiled at his loud uncle from around the bottle he was drinking.
"He smiled at me! It's because I'm so awesome!" Gil said cheerfully.
Lovino couldn't help but to roll his eyes at the statement.
"By the way, I told Francis." Gilbert said suddenly.
"Told him what?" Antonio asked.
"Y'know about the awesome thing growing in Lovino's belly." Gil answered. "He was real happy for you too! Said he was gonna spoil your kid rotten."
A feeling of anger filled Lovino from head to toe, he didn't want Francis knowing! He didn't want anyone other than Feli or Antonio to know! The only reason why Gil knew was because Feli accidentally told him out of excitement. What if Francis told someone else? Then that other person would know and it would be talked about amongst all the nations, he really didn't want that due to the chances of miscarriage.. He was still so early in his pregnancy that he could miscarry and all the talk would have been for nothing. It would be both devastating and embarrassing, he didn't want to go through such a thing. He would much rather deal with a loss like that with out the pity of every other nation.
On the other hand, Antonio saw no problem with Francis knowing, in fact, he was happy for his best friend to know. The Spaniard didn't see that horrible out come like Lovino did, hell, he hardly thought of things ending like that.
"Well I'm sure Franny is gonna call later to congratulate us." Antonio smiled to Lovino.
Lovino was practically scowling, folding his arms over his chest. "I guess so."
((A/N: Sorry for not updating over the weekend, I went on a mini vacation for the fourth of July ;-;
