Reflection of you (Code Geass fanfic story)

Chapter 10

(Another major time skip: 7 months)

(Originally published on February 3, changed 'Anthony' to Antonio, my b. Smh)

A little over half a year has passed since Antonio died and was brought back to life almost immediately, since Zero Requiem took place, since Lelouch and Anthony last saw their friends and family. Though to them, there's no difference when it comes to that. This is a special day, however. Because it's Anthony's first birthday. He has since shown once again, how advance he is. Just like his mother. He could already understand and speak a few words. The baby even knew how to walk and run as well. Which was a blessing and a curse.

"Uh! Uh! Anthony! Be careful! Stop..ahhh! You almost made me...Lelouch!" That said man chuckled as he looked at the adorable scene of Anthony trying to run beyond the length of the leach. Over these past few months, he had gotten closer to the child Antonioand learned some things about his family. Antonio too, had a lot of siblings. Not all of them liked him or adore him. Since, once again like Lelouch, he didn't have that much of a relationship with them except for his younger brother. Who has since died a while back.

Antonio also met....a girl.

Her name was Georgia and to Anthony, as as Lelouch quoted angrily to himself, "the most beautiful girl alive!" Those moments where hard for Lelouch to hold back and not tell the truth right then and there. Antonio is his. No girl is going to take him away. Speaking of the man, his stomach has gotten much bigger, proving to himself and other doubters that he indeed, is pregnant. But something is weird. He kept feeling four feet instead of two kicking. Could he...be carrying twins? Who knows at this point, though maybe it was just all in his head.

He has since sat down in a chair, holding his stomach with such love and care. "Antonio! Can you you bring Anthony to me and then go get me some strawberries?" He called out. A chuckle passed his lips again, as Antonio shook his head. This fruit was his craving this whole pregnancy. Almost everything had to be strawberry or at least something really tasty in order for him to eat it.

"When will this Suzaku and Madame Giselle person come here for the party?" Antonio asked once he approached the pregnant man. "In around an...huh?" Bushes rustled as soft murmurs came closer to their area. Lelouch stood up and took Anthony into his arms, signaling Antonio to stay behind him.

Then, Suzaku appeared...with Britannian soldiers. Lelouch became fearful and alert. "What's the meaning of this, Suzaku?!" He asked harshly. Suzaku could only look down as a tall, blond haired man stepped forward. Lelouch couldn't believe this... Suzaku...is betraying him.

Schneizel, second oldest half brother, gleamed at him and let out a heartfelt cackle. "Oh dear brother, you can never beat me. Nor can you escape from me. You must've known that by now. I win again, with the help of your friend here." He says, gesturing to the honorary britannian. One of the soldiers marched over to Antonio and grabbed ahold of him.

"Leave him be! He has nothing to do with this!" He pleaded frantically.

Schneizel was only amused by his little brother's despair. "Oh...I know now....he's that special to you, isn't he?" He asked. Lelouch looked down at the ground and slowly nodded his head. "Then why aren't you telling him the truth? I see that it's clear that he's forgetting something that only you know." Antonio whipped his head around sharply, looking at Lelouch for an answer. But the other man didn't say anything.

Antonio then started to speak, "Lelouch...remember those times I ask you why was I hugging a man, kissing a belly and feeling like I know you more than I thought? You never answer them. Why? It's not you holding something from me...is it?" Lelouch could only look at him and say, "Everything will be okay. I promise. Trust me, Antonio." He looked at the rest and glared at them. Immediately, the soldiers and Suzaku put on these special glasses. Preventing Geass to be used on them if that was the route Lelouch was going for.
