There is Only Room for One

Chapter 3

1 month later. Alfred sits on the bathroom counter as Ivan carefully removes the stitches from his abdomen and pelvis. "There we go Sunflower. Good as new." Ivan rubs Alfred's stomach and kisses the small bump. "You look beautiful." Alfred blushes. "You're such a sweet talker Ivan." Alfred slides off the counter and tucks himself under Ivan's arm. "Are you sure I can't come to the meeting? The others are probably worried." "Nyet!" Alfred whimpers and tries to back away. "I'm sorry Sunflower. I just don't want you traveling right now with our pup so small." Ivan pulls Alfred back over and gives him a kiss. "I didn't mean to frighten you." Alfred kisses back and nods. "It's ok. Ivan. I shouldn't have asked." Ivan purrs at Alfred's submission and the pheromones he gives off. "Let's get you settled down before I leave." Alfred nods and lets Ivan direct him to the bedroom.

"What do you mean he's not here! Where the bloody hell is he!" Matthew shies away from the angry beta. "Why do you always expect me to know where Alfred is?" "He's your twin brother!" "And I still don't know where he is. Alfred has been gone for four months, and I miss him as much as you do but yelling at me isn't going to bring him back." "He's right mon cher. Yelling won't bring him back." "Shut up you bloody frog!" Arthur growls and sits in his chair. Ivan walks in and sits in his spot. "Why are you so happy." Ivan looks at them. "Can I not enjoy another meeting with out the annoyance of Amerika?" Arthur lunges at Ivan while Francis and Matthew hold him back. "You bloody communist!" Ivan sits back and laughs. "You are very entertaining when you're angry England."

Gilbert walks into the meeting room and frowns. "He isn't back yet?" France looks at Gilbert and nods. "I'm sorry mon ami." Gilbert nods and walks to his chair. "Why do you care so much about Alfred's disappearance comrade?" Gilbert growls at Ivan. "Unlike you I care about Alfred." Ivan laughs. "I don't care about your alpha alpha relationship comrade." Gilbert growls and tries to jump the table but is held back by Ludwig and Roderich. "I'll kill you if you speak about Alfred again! I swear it!" Ivan sits back and laughs while Ludwig tries to calm his brother down. 'If only he knew that Alfred is mine now. If only he knew.'
