War or Love / Reich x Soviet

Chapter 18: Trapped

When they came back to the house, Reich opened the door for Soviet before he went inside himself. When Reich saw the other adult Countryhumans, he immediately noticed their expressions. Most were ashamed, only France looked happy when she saw Third Reich. "Are you feeling better again?" "Yes!" "We really didn't want to put you under pressure." "It's okay, it's not your fault that I went so crazy, those were my hormones, they're totally crazy at the moment."

"Why that?" "That's because I... I am..." Soviet replied for his friend: "He is pregnant." "WHAT?!", America didn't believe a word he said, while his mother was happy about it. "I can bring you the proof.", said Third Reich and went into his office, where he searched the drawers for the last investigation report. After he found it, he went back and gave them the papers.

After a while Canada asked: "Who is responsible for that?" "I'm right in front of you!", sayed the tall Countryhuman, who got a few shocked looks. "Vodka", then came from Soviet and the looks were less shocked. Reich buried his face in Soviet shirt for as long. "Have you been together before?" "No, that happened later." The children came closer because most of them didn't understand the situation.

"What's going on?", Ukraine asked, looking up at her father. "You're going to have a brother or a sister." Only his children were happy, Reichs stayed silent. "FRG you also get a sibling." "Really?" "Yes and it's the same little sibling that my children.", sayed Soviet. Now all the children were cheering and Reich snuggled closer to him. "Why was Luxembourg with you and not Switzerland?" "I don't trust him.", came from Third Reich.

"I see, but why did you invite us?" "Reich came up with the idea, he thought it would be best if we invited Countryhumans with ties to the Deep's to show you what is really happening." "But why the Deep's?" Reich replied: "They disagree with our relationship and to show us that, they killed Estonia and almost killed us, but we were lucky... I just notice, America, Weren't you involved in the assassination attempt?"

"What? No!" "Strange, I saw someone there with your flag." "I swear to you I was not involved. I went to see my brother that day." Reich looked him straight in the eye before answering: "For now I believe you!" France wanted to make sure once again whether it was really true that he was pregnant: "Would you allow me to take a closer look at your belly? I'm not a doctor, but a mother of four children." "As far as I'm concerned, you can do it. "

Reich lay down on his back on the sofa and pulled his shirt up a little. All men except Soviet Union looked away, but when France put a hand on Reich's stomach, Soviet gave her a venomous look. She looked at him with a frightened look, then he noticed: "I'm sorry!" "Never mind!" Then Reich brought him to him with a wave of his hand. Soviet Union was now standing next to Reich and stretched his head over Reich's face, who came up a little and kissed him.

Third Reich whispered to him in his ear: "Don't worry, I belong entirely to you." Then he gave him another kiss and Soviet went back to the others. Shortly afterwards, Third Reich got up again and went to his big friend, while France was talking to her family about what exactly they should do now. "Shall I get you something warmer to wear?" "Yes, please!" A little later Soviet Union came back with a coat that he put on after Reich had taken off his slightly wet and thin coat.

Only now did the others see a bundle of black feathers sticking out before the coat covered them. "What this?", he asked, because of the curious looks. "What were the black feathers?" "My wings." "You have wings?" "Yes!", he replied America, before taking his coat back down and stretching his wings a little. "You are really full of miracles!" Then France asked: "How long have you have them?" "Since my transformation.", he said before putting his coat back on.

They talked for a while before going to bed. As Reich and Soviet were in bed, Reich asked him: "A few weeks ago when I met my mother, that black stuff really didn't hurt you?" "Not a bit, why do you ask?" "It hurt terribly for me. It had felt as if millions of ants were standing on me and ripping off large pieces of skin every single one of them and at the same time someone was pressing glowing pieces of coal and fresh ice against my skin. Besides, it made me feel more and more weak."
