"Damn it Francis!" Arthur complained suddenly. "I feel like I'm going to burst!"
Francis laughed as he turned to his usually small, blond lover.
He was glaring at the table he had just bumped into and rubbing his swollen belly.
"Oh mon dieu Arthur," he sighed. "You need to be more careful."
Arthur frowned at him.
"I KNOW that Francis! But it isn't easy when you're the size of trolley!"
Francis laughed again and crossed to put his arms around the other man.
"Not so tight, frog!" he yelled angrily.
Francis loosened his grip and looked down at his belly.
"You're so much bigger, mon cher."
"Are you insinuating that I'm fat?"
Francis shook his head.
"Non, you misunderstand me. I would NEVER call you fat. You've just gotten bigger due to ze circumstances." He put his hand on Arthur's stomach. "Zere's more to love now."
Arthur made Francis look at him so he could scowl at the Frenchman.
"You know just as well as I do that you're calling me fat, you bloody git."
Francis smiled warmly.
"Mon amour, I am not calling you fat. How could I call you fat when you're giving me ze greatest gift possible?"
Arthur blushed as Francis moved his face to his enlarged stomach and kissed it.
"Come on, mignon," Francis said as he stood up and took Arthur's hand and kissed it gently. "It's late, we should get some sleep."
Arthur stifled a yawn behind his free hand and let Francis drag him up the stairs to their bedroom.
The pair climbed into their big bed and laid down.
Arthur fell asleep almost immediately, but Francis had too many troubling thoughts running around in his head.
He knew that the small nation wasn't the strongest and that the pregnancy was wearing on him, but he wasn't letting it show.
That wasn't his biggest concern unfortunately.
He didn't know how Arthur was going to act after the baby arrived.
Arthur was known for having a bad temper and he was worried that he might take it out on the baby.
Francis tried to push the troubling thoughts out of his mind and fall asleep.
Francis sat next to Arthur's bed, holding his hand tightly as he slept.
Arthur mumbled something then slowly opened his eyes.
He looked around and his gaze landed on Francis.
"How is he?" he asked with a worried tone.
Francis smiled at him.
"He's beautiful, Angleterre."
Arthur frowned and made to scold him for using his nation's name, but he didn't have the energy.
"Do you remember anyzing?"
Arthur shook his head.
"I can't remember anything from before the surgery." Francis looked nervous. "What's wrong?"
"Oh non, mon petit chou! Nozing is wrong! It's just-"
A nurse walked into the room.
"You're awake Mr. Kirkland?" she asked kindly.
Arthur nodded weakly.
"Would you like to see your sons?"
"Yes please! Right away!"
The nurse smiled.
"Okay. I'll be right back."
She left the room and Arthur turned back to Francis.
"What were you trying to tell me?"
Francis shook his head and smiled.
"You'll see. Just wait."
They sat in silence before the nurse returned with two small bundles.
"What? Why are there two?"
Francis squeezed his hand gently.
"Zat's what I was trying to tell you. It wasn't just one little boy; it was two."
"Would you like to hold them?"
Arthur nodded slowly.
The nurse walked up to him and handed him the two bundles.
Arthur took them and stared at them in awe.
"Aren't zey beautiful?" France asked as he peered over his shoulder.
"Yes. Are they really ours?"
Francis nodded.
"I was zere. Zey're definitely ours."
The two boys were barely alive but they already seemed very different.
They both had been born with a fair amount of blond hair and one had a very large strand sticking straight up. The other had lighter blond hair with a long, thin hair that stuck out away from his head and curled on itself to make a loop about halfway through.
The one with the curl seemed smaller than the other one and more timid.
While his brother was curiously looking around the room, he appeared to be trying to disappear into his blanket.
Arthur yelped when the bigger one reached up and grabbed his thick eyebrows.
"He seems to like you," Francis said happily. "Until we have a name for him, we shall call him 'sourcil'."
"Eyebrows?" Arthur asked with a slight frown.
Francis shrugged.
"Why not? That's the first thing he recognized in this world. He saw your eyebrows and liked them. You should like his choice."
Arthur smiled a little but blushed brighter.
"Then what shall we call the other one?"
"Why don't you zink of somezing?" Francis suggested.
Arthur thought for a little while.
"We could call him 'peureux'."
"Shy?"
Francis looked down at the smaller boy and studied him.
He seemed fearful from all the attention he was receiving and Francis nodded.
"Zat seems perfect."
"So until we have proper names for them, we shall call them Sourcil and Peureux."
Francis smiled at him.
"I love you Angleterre."
"Don't call me that in public, frog!" Arthur snapped but then closed his eyes tightly.
"What's wrong, lapin?"
"N-Nothing. I'm just tired and that took more than I thought it would."
Francis continued to watch him carefully.
"I'm fine," Arthur said weakly.
"I want someone to check you to make sure you're okay."
Arthur reached out and put a hand on Francis's arm as he stood up to get a nurse.
"Francis. France, you don't need to do that. I'm just tired from everything. Don't worry." He tried to smile and Francis gave in and sat back down.
"Just be careful. Okay, mon ami?"
Arthur nodded and slowly closed his eyes.
"I'm just going to rest for a little bit."
Francis smiled.
"Rest all you like. You've been zrough a lot."
Arthur smiled also before falling deeply asleep.
"Sleep well, mon très cher ami and now," he said as pulled the two bundles of off Arthur's lap, "la mère de mes enfants."
AN: Don't say anything about the way France was talking! . I did it on purpose because french people say 'th' as a 'z'.
And I've never written mpreg before but last night I was hanging out with my friend and her cousin and we we're reading a fanfiction about one and we're all decided that we wanted to try it.
One's going to do a picture and the other is going to do some sort of animation...of course since I write, I finished first. XD
Anyway! See ya soon!
