A week had passed since Alvarez last visited and things were running smoothly for the couple so far. With the exception of Lovino's annoying little brother coming around every single day to plan a baby shower. Lovino and Antonio had talked about having a baby shower a while back but Feli had suddenly remembered the idea and thought it would be a great idea to start planning.
"Don't you two think it's a little early to be planning a baby shower?" Lovino asked one day as he walked into the living room where Antonio and Feliciano were planning.
"It can never be too early!" Feliciano replied happily, jotting down something in a small planner.
"But Im only five months along." Lovino reminded him, sitting beside Antonio on the couch.
"It's better to start now, don't you think?" Antonio spoke up.
"No." Lovino shook his head, "But I won't stop you."
"Good because we weren't planning on stopping." Feli responded before turning back to Antonio, "Okay so I was thinking of having carnations and lilies for the flowers because that's both of your national flowers."
"That sounds good!" Antonio smiled brightly, "What do you think, Lovi?"
"I-" But the Italian didn't get to put in another word because the doorbell started to ring.
"Ah finally!" Feliciano exclaimed, springing up to answer the door.
"Who's that?" Lovino whispered to his husband.
Antonio merely shrugged, "Yo no sé."
After a few moments, Feli came trotting back in to the living room with both Finland and Poland behind him.
"Like what's up?" Feliks smiled with a wave.
"Hello!" Tino waved cheerfully.
"Hola!" Antonio grinned.
"Oh ciao, we haven't seen you two in a while." Lovino said, "What are you guys doing here?"
"Well we're, like, here to help plan your baby shower." Feliks answered.
"Yes, Feliciano told us to be coming here to help you." Tino nodded.
"Oh that's so nice of you both." Lovino smiled softly, "You didn't have to though."
"We wanted to help." Tino assured him with a smile of his own.
Damn hormones must have been getting to Lovino, he felt like crying. It was just such a nice gesture, it wasn't often that people would do anything nice for him.
"We were just talking about which flowers we should have for the party," Feli filled them in as the two sat down, "Antonio and I were thinking about doing national flowers."
"That sounds lovely!" Tino nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, that would be the lily and the carnation right?"
"Mhm." Feli confirmed.
"That will be, like, so totally pretty!" Feliks mused, "And we could do red and white decorations to, like, match."
"Sí that sounds good." Feli nodded before writing it down in his little planner.
The rest of the little 'meeting' progressed with suggestions flying everywhere, it was hard for either Antonio or Lovino to get a word in but the couple agreed it was okay. Sometimes Feli just gets really into to party planning and for the most part every idea that was said was okay for them.
Another two days later, the couple went to one of their monthly doctors appointments for the baby. Dr. Sanchez was excited to see them both and to see how big Lovino's tummy had gotten, she expressed this in a cheerful squeal followed by a string of harmless questions.
Now as Lovino laid on the hospital bed, shirt just over his belly, both he and Antonio listened to the doctor's questions.
"Has your little one kicked yet?" She asked pulling on a pair of latex gloves.
"Yes.. but not very hard. I don't think other people can feel it." Lovino answered.
"Is your baby very active in there?" asked, sitting on the other side of Lovino.
Lovino nodded, "It moves around almost every day."
"Ah that's good!" She smiled before putting some gel on Lovino's belly. "You're about 19 weeks along, almost 20 so you should be feeling the baby kick a little harder and somersault in there a lot more."
"Oh the joy." Lovino muttered which earned a chuckle from Antonio beside him.
In a matter of seconds, Dr. Sanchez got out the wand and pressed it against Lovino's belly.
"There the little one is." She said as the baby came into view. "It's about 6 inches long know and should weigh about 8 ounces."
Lovino couldn't help but to smile, it started to become a normal thing for him at these appointments. As for Antonio, well, he was always smiling so now was no different. A bright smile was plastered on the Spaniards face while the Italian wore a smaller grin. Their baby, who was displayed on the screen, started kicking a little bit as it squirmed.
"Ooh Lovi, can you feel the baby doing that?" Antonio wondered.
"Yea and it feels weird." Lovino nodded.
The baby then clearly started sucking it's thumb while kicking against Lovino once more.
"Did I mention that your little one should be able to hear you both talking?" Dr. Sanchez said, "So don't be shy to talk to the baby."
Antonio's smile only got brighter, "Lovi I'm going to talk to your belly every day!"
"Great, just what I need." Lovino said sarcastically just before Antonio pressed a sweet kiss to his cheek.
"Lovi I just want the baby to hurry up and be here already." Antonio complained, looking up at his lover who was sitting against the headboard of their bed while reading a book.
"Well," Lovino replied, looking down to his own lap where Antonio's head was resting, "You're just going to have to wait."
"But I can't! I just want to cuddle the bebé already." The Spanish nation whined.
"Well so do I but we still have another four months to go until the baby arrives." Lovino replied, flipping the page in his book.
Antonio turned his head to face Lovino's round belly. He pressed a small kiss against it before starting to talk to the baby inside.
"Hola bebé, it's your papí!" He spoke cheerfully, "Your mama and I can't wait until you get here. I bet you're going to be so cute, hopefully you look like your mama."
Lovino showed a small smile before Antonio continued.
"And I just want you to know that Lovi and I love you so much already." Antonio paused to press another kiss to his lover's belly.
A small movement from inside caught Lovino's attention and he placed a hand on the side of his tummy.
"The baby just kicked." the Italian piped up.
"Ah because he or she's listening and loves us too, Lovi!" Antonio replied with one of his bright smiles.
After another half hour of Antonio talking to their unborn child, the Spaniard got sleepy and decided it was time for bed seeing as though it was already night time. That left Lovino awake and alone. Upon hearing Antonio snore, he figured that his husband was truly asleep so he decided that it wouldn't be so bad to talk to the baby himself.
"This is silly, but here goes nothing." Lovino spoke aloud. "I don't- I don't know what I should say. I mean, I know you can't even understand me but what's the harm in just talking to you?" He looked down at his belly, placing both of his hands at the side of it. "It's crazy, you know? I never thought that I would be having a baby. Ever. But sure enough, here you are. And I know this is weird but, I already.. love you." The baby started fluttering about inside of his belly which put a smile on his face, "Maybe you can understand me." Lovino chuckled softly, "But seriously, I do love you. And I really can't wait to hold you for myself. Your papa says he wants you to look like me but I'm pretty sure you're going to look like him. I won't mind though, I know you're going to be adorable." Lovino paused for a moment before saying one last thing, "Goodnight bambino." He grinned softly, rubbing his belly as the little one kicked gently.
With that, Lovino turned off the light on the night stand before laying down beside Antonio.
What Lovino didn't know was that Antonio had woken up halfway through his little talk and heard what he had to say. Honestly, the older nation was just happy to hear his lover so happy.
A/N: I had time to update again so yup here it is! Sorry if it's not the best chapter though, the next one will be better!
Oh and to the guest that left a review saying that you disapprove of shipping countries with Hetalia and don't like the idea of making the characters gay and that the fact that I did it was out of line, did you not read any of the warnings that I put in the description? IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEN DON'T READ. And please don't make such hurtful, nasty comments on my story again (there was more to the comment saying that this shows what kind of a person I am for mentioning sex between these characters and how i have no respect for the world i live in which is NOT true)
But like I said just dont leave rude comments like that again, thank you. If you didn't like the idea, why did you even open up my story and read it? I'm sorry you don't like this story. And sorry if I'm coming off as rude but it really hurt to see a comment like that. I even doubted this story for a while and contemplated if I should continue it or not.. But don't worry I've decided that I will.
Anywho, thank you for those of you who enjoy the story! And thank you for following and favoriting, you guys are the best! Review, lovelies!
