Louise: Ja, I’ve got some scars, I don’t really mind them much anymore. They’re mainly from old wars, some from training and others from miscellaneous accidents. I’ve got one pretty nasty scar running down my left side above my hip, back from the war between the Old Empire and France. I was impaled with Francis’ sword when I pushed Gilbert out of the way. But it was almost 150 years ago now, so it’s scarred over for the most part.Francis: mm… I’m still really sorry about that.Louise: Liebe, it was years ago now, I forgive you. I know it wasn’t what you intended, and it was war, things happen that follow us… I forgave you long ago.Francis: I know… but I still feel terrible for leaving a mark on the beautiful love of my life. *takes her hand* I don’t think I’ll ever truly have repentance for my horrible sins!Louise: Come on, Francis, you’re overreacting. *pats his head* It’s not that bad. And we’re countries, time really does heal everything for us… So anyway, I have many scars, but some aren’t very noticeable and are easy to cover up. They were just flesh wounds, for the most part.Francis: I still have a scar… from the day you stole my heart~Louise: *sighs and punches his arm* dumbkoff… *smiles and blushes a bit*Francis: Owie… I deserve that, but I also can’t help it.

Leuthor: mm… *getting fussy again in the other room*Louise: I’ve got him. *getting up*Francis: It’s alright, you can rest up.Louise: Are you sure?Francis: I’ve got it all under control. Trust me.Louise: *chuckles* Alright, good luck in there.Francis: I don’t need luck, he’s our child. *gets up and goes to the other room*

Louise: …Leuthor tends to prefer the care of women over men. He never cried when I hold him, but if Francis or Gilbert pick him up-

Leuthor: mm… WAAHHH!!Francis: Mon dieu…! *tries rocking him*

Francis: Well… We did put together a little something. Nothing too big~

Louise: Happy Halloween, everyone. Only 365 days until next Halloween~Francis: Oui. In case it wasn’t obvious… We went as Peter Pan, Wendy, and the Raccoon Twins~

Louise: Well, now that we’re here… I suppose we have to be ready for whatever life throws at us now.Francis: Oui, but we’ll do it together, as a family. *holds her hand while cradling Remmi*Remmi: bah! *happy and wiggly*Leuthor: mm… *getting a bit fussy, laying in the crib*Louise: I’ve got you.. *picks him up and cradles him*Leuthor: *coos, holding onto her shirt*Francis: We’ve got this. *kisses her cheek*

Francis: (Internally)

Louise: (Internally)

Remmi: (Internally)

Leuthor: (Internally)

Call him, double duh.* Louise: FRANCIS!!!! *she rushes for her phone, flipping it open and trying to dial his number as quickly as possible* please please pick up- oh gott...!! *holds onto her midsection, feeling her body tighten and loosen simultaneously* for the love of gott, pick up...!!! *over at Gilbert’s guy party, the boys (plus Elizabetha) are all having fun and drinking a bit (except for the obvious designated drivers, Ludwig, Roderich, and Vash; midway through one of Gilbert’s gloat-stories, someone’s phone starts ringing* Gilbert: And I awesomely- Eh? Hey, someone’s phone is going off! West, check the phone pile! Ludwig: Ja ja. *sips some soda, then looks around in the bowl of everyone’s phones, pulling out a ringing red and blue flip phone* hm? It’s Louise. Francis: eh? Louise? *walks up and politely takes the phone, then answers it* Allo? Louise: FRANCIS!!!! Francis: L-Louise?? *everyone gets up, hearing the distraught and shrieking German over the phone* Gilbert: Schwest?? *races over, leaping across the couch* Schwest, are you okay?? Vhat happened???
