There is Only Room for One

Chapter 8

Gilbert sits uneasily at the meeting table waiting for it to start. The meeting is in the Communist bastards house and Gilbert just doesn't trust him. 'I know that Russian bastard has my sweet Alfred hidden here in his blasted house. I just need to find him.' Gilbert jumps when Feli puts his hand on his arm. "You seem jumpy. Are you ok? I can make you some pasta." "I'm fine. Just in deep thought." "Is it about Alfred? I'm sure he'll make today's meeting. He probably was just sick." "I highly doubt that Feli but thanks for the attempt to make me feel better." "No problem." Gilbert sighs and lays his head on the table.

The meeting is starting and everyone is there except for Ivan and Alfred. "Where are they." "I don't know and don't care we need to get this meeting started." Ludwig stands up and starts the meeting as everyone else sits back and listens.

Halfway through the meeting the door opens and a small looking figure steps in. The entire room freezes awhile Gilbert stands up. "Alfred?" Alfred gives a shy wave and stands to full height. Arthur runs forward and pulls him into a hug. "Alfred where the bloody hell have you been? Why do you smell different?"
Ivan walks in and the room freezes. "You get away from him you communist bastard!" Ivan smiles and walks forward. "Now why would I do that?" He puts his arms around Alfred and rubs his baby bump. Alfred begins to purr and leans into Ivan. "Alfred what's wrong with you?!" Alfred whimpers and steps back into Ivan. "I would appreciate it if you wouldn't raise your voice to my mate." "Your mate! You hate each other and don't you dare touch him!"
Arthur pulls Alfred from Ivan and his coat stays in Ivan's grasp.

Everyone freezes when they see Alfred's stomach. "A-Alfred?" Alfred looks up at Gilbert. "Hey Gil." "What's going on? " "I'm having twins." He smiles and steps back into Ivan's arms. "But you're an alpha, and you were my boyfriend! You're supposed to be with me! You're....AHHH!"

The room stands frozen as Alfred holds his hand and Gilbert falls back. "I'm not an alpha anymore, and I'm not your's. I'm Ivan's mate and I'm happy." Alfred walks over. "I'm going home Venya." He walks out and leaves.
Ivan smiles as Alfred closes the door. "I'm sorry that I was late but I do believe that we have a meeting to finish." Ivan goes and sits in his chair while Ludwig calls the meeting back into session.

'Now they all see that Alfred belongs to me.'
