Germany walked lazily through the large Italian Villa. Actually it was more of a waddle than a walk. Germany's largely swelled belly was keeping him from accomplishing his normal stride. He walked out into the backyard and plopped down on a bench.
He gently rubbed his belly and hummed a German lullaby he heard as a child. He felt a slight kick in response and smiled gleefully. His normal rigid and sour German demeanor replaced with a happy grin and loving attitude. Over the last few months Germany had adopted this new attitude, he wasn't sure if it was because of the baby that was inside of his stomach or his new found hormones.
Well anyway with the baby due any day now Germany was doing his best to keep his nerves from getting the better of him. He was truthfully terrified, but what new parent wasn't. He had known about the baby growing inside him for the better part of seven months and he was still having trouble believing it. I mean who could have guessed that Germany was really a hermaphrodite.
Germany sighed and sat back against the back of the bench. The sun was high in the sky and Germany thought it looked like the perfect summer day. The birds chirped, the weather was just right, and not a cloud in sight.
"Germany!" He smiled and turned hearing Italy calling for him.
"Ja, I'm out here" he called to him. Italy exited the house a few seconds later and ran over to Germany. He bent down out of breath. "Is everything alright?" Germany asked concerned.
"Yeah, I was just wondering where you went." He sat down next to Germany and placed a loving hand over Germany's hand that rested on his stomach.
"Don't worry so much" Germany said with a smile.
"Sorry, I'm just afraid that the second I leave you alone the baby will come." Italy said sheepishly.
Germany laughed and kissed Italy lightly on the lips. He wrapped Italy up with his free arm and they sat contently enjoying the moment.
Germany suddenly clenched Italy's hand tightly nearing crushing the bones in the frail Italian's hand.
"Ow, Germany, what was that for." Italy asked pulling his hand away as soon as the German loosed his grip. Germany moved both of his hands to his belly and rubbed it lightly.
"Italy, I think it's time." he told him.
"What!" Italy said jumping about fifteen feet in the air. Germany carefully stood using the bench for support. "What do we do! Where do we go" Italy freaked out, completely forgetting the preparations they had made weeks before.
Germany chuckled and gestured for Italy to come over to him. "Call the doctor and tell him the baby's coming." Germany instructed, Italy bolted into the house like a pack of wild dogs was chasing him. Germany couldn't help but laugh, he only hoped Italy wasn't like this for their baby's entire life.
