AN: Here's the new chapter.

To those who reviewed:

Spamano4ever: Lili is precious. And Lovi is a good 'mama'. He might not agree with that, but he is!

ThatRandomReview: Well..it's not that..it's just, Lili would tell on him, and he doesn't want Vash after his head.

Penguin Braginski: I'm glad you liked it, I guess!

Evelylamine: It was..

Enjoy.

Things were pretty calm until Lili started whimpering. Lovino dropped his conversation and woke her up before Vash could move to see what was going on.

As soon as Lili was awake, Lovino spoke softly to her. "It's okay, sweetie, it's just a bad dream. It's not real."he murmured softly. But still, it echoed in the silence of the room.

Antonio half smiled. He'd always liked that Lovino was good with kids from what he'd got to see. Vash caught his gaze and he could tell that they both found it cute.

Vash grinned and spoke when Lili had gone back to sleep in Lovino's arms. "You know, Lovi..you'd be a good parent someday."he said softly.

Lovino looked up at Vash and shook his head. "Highly doubtful,"he countered.

Matthew rolled his eyes. "Oh, please, I've watched you interact with Lili and your boss's kid before, as well as random kids looking for their parents at the park. You're wonderful with children, Lovi, and you would make a good parent."

"I lose my temper to easily,"Lovino pointed out. "So no, I wouldn't be."

Antonio chuckled and spoke. "You don't lose your temper often. You do that to keep yourself from getting hurt, normally."he countered.

Lovino huffed and let it drop so he didn't wake Lili up, gaining a knowing look from Vash.

That night was rather calm. Vash took Lili back home and let the group get settled down. Lovino ended up falling asleep with his head on Antonio's shoulder shortly after, gaining a few soft smiles.

Antonio woke him back up so he could go get changed for bed.

As soon as Lovino came back after getting changed, he was content to go back to sleep, so Antonio let him be.

Nobody disturbed the Italian, knowing he was tired. They knew he hadn't really gotten any rest due to the constant nightmares he'd had.

For the first time in a while, Lovino actually slept peacefully. It was almost like it had been when Antonio and him had first gotten together.

The following morning, Antonio woke up to see Lovino still asleep and half smiled. He knew that they didn't have to get up for a while. He was so glad for the early weekend. But he also knew Lovino had work. He rubbed his eyes and glanced at the clock on the wall nearby before looking at Lovino. He sighed and woke him up quietly. "Lovi, wake up. You have to get ready for work,"

Lovino lifted his head up, looking at the Spaniard through half-open eyes. "Don't wanna."he mumbled, laying his head back down.

"You have to."Antonio said, pushing at one of Lovino's shoulders.

Lovino sighed and kissed Antonio's cheek before he got up and set about getting ready for work.

Antonio got up after Lovino disappeared and rubbed his eyes tiredly. He knew he wasn't getting back to sleep.

Feliciano's phone went off before Lovino left and woke the younger Italian up, along with everyone else in the room.

"Cut the damn thing off, Feli."Gilbert grumbled tiredly. "It's too early to be on the phone."

Feliciano rolled his eyes, yawning as he answered the phone. He instantly perked up. "Hey! Thanks for calling! What's going on?"

The others gave him an odd look. Feliciano looked up at his brother for a moment before he spoke into the phone. "Sure, I'll ask. He's about to leave for work, though, so..."

Feliciano didn't finish, instead, he listened closely to what was said. Soon after he pulled the phone away from his ear and spoke to Lovino. "The drama teacher wants to know if you'd be willing to help us with an anti-bullying thing at school in a couple weeks, Lovi."

"Like it'll do much good? Sure, I'll help."Lovino said. "It's about time someone decided enough was enough and attempted to do something about it. Now, I have to go before I'm late,"

With that, Lovino disappeared, and Feliciano finished his conversation on the phone quickly.

That day went by rather slowly for the group. Lovino was pretty happy when he came home from work.

Francis seemed to notice the fact that Lovino was much happier than normal, because he spoke up. "What's got you so happy, mon ami?"he asked.

"Nothing..just.."Lovino said softly, pausing before he continued. "While some of us were on break, we had a mini jam session for the customers. It was fun, and it didn't hurt that it was the punk-alternative type music, either."

Francis looked at Gilbert and huffed. "You've ruined his taste in music, Gilbert."

Gilbert shrugged. "That genre has some good artists who cover very contriversal topics where every other genre plays it safe."

"Which sucks ass."Lovino finished, disappearing to get changed.

Antonio rolled his eyes. He should have expected something like this.

Here you go. Also..go watch the video for Re-Education Through Labor by Rise Against. You'll understand the end then.
