Italy was laying in his bed, rubbing his grown stomach. He was a bit passed 8 months now, was not aloud out of his room in case someone saw, especially a German Nazi, visiting from his home. Speaking of Germany, he had visited a couple of times, warning this Italian brothers of his boss spreading his belief to other countries, including Italy. Italy and Romano no longer have any control over the country, and Romano was the one to go to meetings and such to keep North Italy safe from Hitler, hoping he believes only Romano is Italy's personification.
Romano and Italy have built a hidden small room, only big enough to fit the younger brother, with all the secret documents that could go against not only the Italy's, but Ludwig, Antonio, and any other countries. When Romano saw German Nazis he would respond with a loud 'uno momento potato' without bastardo. Everything that the Italy's knew about the current happening in Germany was also hidden in there. Lucky, there wasn't that much.
They both hoped that it would't come to Italy needing to hide in there, they had no such luck. While the Nazi were not stationed in Italy, you could never be careful.
While Italy was enjoying softly singing to his baby who moved around a few times. He heard a banging on the door, a muffled yell telling who was in the house to open the door. "Uno momento Potato!" At that Italy got out of bed and crawled into a cupboard door, sliding the side of it away, and going inside the room. Italy closed the cupboard and slid the wall of the cupboard closed again. Italy closed his eyes, and leaned against the pillows inside that muffled any movement from inside. Now all Italy had to do was wait for Romano to come tell him its alright to come out, and stay quiet and still until that happened. Moments passed and Italy could hear voices behind the wall.
"Would a second person be living here?" A German accent, that definitely did not belong to Italy's husband. Romano spoke up, "No, it's just me, I use both rooms for my own use. Lately, I have-a not had many guests here, so I took it to my advantage."
Italy tuned out after that.

Romano came and knocked on the cupboard, "Its alright to come out, everyone of the potato bastards left except the potato bastard himself, Ludwig. He here with me."
Italy slowly and carefully came out of the little room, mindful of his stomach. He looked up and saw his brother by the door and his husband next to him. Romano had a developing bruise on his cheek and forehead from the Nazis hitting him, but otherwise he looked fine. Germany, however, had a couple of bandaged limbs.
"Are you too alright?" He asked the two of them. They nodded, and helped Italy stand up. "Why did they come here?" Italy asked, slightly frightened, looking at Ludwig for an answer.
"The heard that Romano here was hiding something from them and came to check it out. They were unable to find anything, I made sure if that." Ludwig said, calmly.
"Vee~ okay!" Italy said, not wanting to worry about anything anymore, "How long are you staying, Germany?"
"If it's alright, I was hoping I could spend the night here?" He looked out at Romano with a questioning and almost pleading glance, Italy begging.
The older Italian sighed, "Fine, but siesta time started 10 minutes ago, I'm going to sleep, and don't make any noise unless it's an emergency or your getting kicked out." And he left the room, closing the door behind him.
Italy soon found himself in Germany's embrace, "I was so worried for you, I tried to stop them, but I couldn't. I-" Germany started rambling and was cut short by Italy putting a finger on Germany's lips, shushing him.
"I'm alright, my brother and I are smarter then we seem to be." He smiles, comfortingly.
Germany nodded and hugged the smaller man once more, his arms wrapped carefully around Italy. "Well, it is siesta time, Germany, how about we lay down?" Italy suggested.
"Ja, sounds good." Germany smiles softly at those memories of Italy and his silly, long awaited siestas. They laid down together for the first time in a long time in Italy;s bed, holding each other close.
However Germany's sleep was soon interrupted by the sound of Italy's whimpers. He looked over at the Italian to see him curled up on the bed, clutching his stomach like his life depended on it, biting his blanket to muffle the sounds.
"Italy, wh-whats happening? Are you hurt? "
"Bastardo! Il bambino sta arrivando idiota!" [You bastard! The baby's coming idiot!]
"Come again?" and realization came to Ludwig. Jumping out of bed, he ran to Romano's room, shaking him awake. "The baby is on its way!" That got Romano awake rather quickly.
"Bambino!?" His eyes showed panic, and he ran to Italy's bedroom. What greeted them, wasn't exactly the most pleasurable sight...

Ludwig came back into the bedroom from the bathroom after cleaning his little girl, sleeping in her soft towel. She had a pale completion and blonde hair of her vati, but it was obvious that her other parent was Italian from the face shape, nose and mouth.
Italy weakly turned his head to where Germany entered, slowly opening his eyes to take an actual look at his newborn daughter. Ludwig handed her to his husband with a loving look on his face. Eventually, Romano came next to the bed on the opposite side of the German. He looked at the girl, a rare smile reaching his face. "She's more beautiful than the most beautiful Rose... You did a good job Feli."
"That's it! Rosalia! We can call her Lia for short! They both mean 'beautiful Rose'! Can that be her name, Germany? I'll let you chose the middle name?"
"Ja, okay, I like the name, Danke for the idea Romano." Germany thanked Romano, receiving a an annoyed look from him but it was obvious that he was happy. "What about Griselda? Its German for fighting in darkness. It think it fits, and it would do her some good in this time to have a German name with her hair."
"I like it Germany! Lia Griselda Vargas-Beilschmidt. Has a nice ring to it! Don't you think so Fratello?"
Romano nodded, "It's alright, but there is no way in Hell that I am going to use the German name." He thought for a moment, "Beautiful Rose, fighting in Darkness. That sounds about right." The parents nodded in agreement, looking upon their little child. Her eyes opened for the first time since birth, showing bright blue eyes, just like her vati.
'Now shes even safer, just by her looks...' Ludwig thought, relieved and glad that he was here for this moment, to meet his beautiful Rose, who had already stolen his heart.
