Germany could not, and would not EVER trust Prussia to babysit his child. Therefore, since the little one had been born, they brought her with them to the world conferences. No one really minded, in fact everyone seemed to have let the little one into their hearts slightly.
She caused little trouble and it wasn't like they ever actually solved much in the meetings. The little one actually seemed to make things run a little bit more smoothly since they all refrained from yelling and arguing once the little one went down for a nap. And if they argued, the way they whispered their yells were quite amusing. The anger was there, the body language was there but the noise was reduced to a minimum.
Today however their child would not stop crying. And it was driving everyone up the wall.
"Ve~ Don't cry, don't cry…" Veneciano said softly for the millionth time holding her in different ways, rubbing her back, rocking her in his arms, humming an Italian lullaby to her but all to no avail. The little one would not cease her crying. It had been an unspoken agreement that during the meetings Italy would be the one to take care of her since Ludwig was the one that maintained the order of the meetings but this time the meeting wasn't going anywhere. Germany decided to step in and sighed pulling out of his chair and walking to Italy who stood as he came. He looked at the little girl in Veneciano's arms and caressed her little cheek gently with the back of his index finger.
"She's not teething is she?" He asked trying to see what was wrong with her.
"Ve~ No, it's probably just colic." Veneciano said and Ludwig winced. He'd prayed the little one wouldn't get colicky since he knew that babies could last hours crying. "Maybe if you hold her Doitsu." He said smiling tiredly and Ludwig nodded taking the little one into his arms holding her carefully and holding one of her little fists in his hand kissing it gently. Germany went back to sit on his place holding the screaming bundle and sat back down. He knew however that they wouldn't be able to continue like this so he turned to the little one and kissed her gently on the forehead and without pulling away too far he made a soft windy sound with his mouth in a continuous manner that instantly, like magic, soothed the little one into immediate silence. Continuing to do so for a minute, when he pulled away the little one was already in a peaceful slumber. When he looked up to continue the meeting all of the female countries were looking at him with complete and utter adoration making him blush and glared at the men who smirked in amused fascination at the intimidating country's tenderness when dealing with his child.
Without a word needing to be said, Germany looked at Switzerland to continue where they'd left off. The neutral country nodded and proceeded from where he left off talking in a calm and low voice to avoid waking the baby.
Ludwig turned to Veneciano who was beaming at him and Germany could only smile softly back before turning his attention back to the meeting.
