Disclaimer: I do not own Hetalia; I only own the plot and the character Anna Hunter and Celestina Cervantes.

Hi ya loyal readers. Vampchick2010 here to thank you for reading my story. Sorry I haven't updated in a while I have been suffering from writer's block. For those who believe Celestina to be the same from Hetalia Truth or Dare Anything goes you are half right. My sister helped me come up with the name. It means heavenly in Spanish.

Only Anna uses their human names. Countries will use the country name unless they are close to each other. Most of this chapter is going to be in Ludwig's point of view. The reason? Well here is a little hint. England's magic + Anna.

As always I use Google translate for all the languages. If any of the words are wrong please let me know. Translations will be in parenthesis. As always constructive criticism is appreciated. I love to know how to improve the story and how to improve as a writer.

Anyway, enough chit-chat from me.

This will indicate thoughts

This will indicate flashbacks

Point of view changes

Now on with the story.

Life with the Countries

Chapter Four: A Little Problem

At a small bookstore near Germany's home, there is a familiar face running the cash register. Anna Beilschmidt as she only recently became known as this. Anna lets out a sigh as she looks out the window.

What a beautiful day out today. It is a damn shame I can't train today. I thought sighing.

"Excuse me, Where is your restroom?" an older English woman asks grabbing my attention.

"Right down the hall, last door to your left," I say quickly smiling politely at the woman.

"Thank you," she says walking away.

"At least Arthur can't say I'm not nice to his citizens," I mutter under my breath. A few hours later it is time to close the bookstore.

"Have a nice night," my boss says closing the store for the night.

"You too, sir," I say walking to Germany's house.

Once I was home I was immediately greeted by Germany's dogs. I manage to quiet them down but not before they disturbed their master's reading.

Damn dogs. I wanted to enter quietly, I thought annoyed.

"Hallo Anna, Wie war dein Verschiebung heute? (Hello Anna, How was your shift today?)" Ludwig asks calmly.

"Es war in Ordnung, Bruder. Ich wollte nicht stören, habe ich? (It was fine, brother. I didn't disturb you, did I?)" I say quickly reverting to German.

"Nein, ich habe gerade gelesen, als Sie hereinkamen Ihre Platte ist in den Kühlschrank, wenn Sie hungrig sind. (No, I just finished reading as you came in. Your plate is in the refrigerator, if you are hungry.)," Ludwig says yawning.

"Danke, Bruder. Ich werde, bevor ins Bett zu essen. Gibt es eine Ausbildung morgen? (Thank you, brother. I will eat before heading to bed. Is there any training tomorrow?)" I ask curious.

"Ja, um 0700. (Yes, at 0700.)," Ludwig says heading towards the stairs.

"Ja, Bruder. Gute Nacht. (Yes, brother. Good night.)," I say yawning.

"Gute Nacht, schwester," Ludwig says heading upstairs.

I heat up my supper and eat relatively quickly as it was about ten at night. I really need my rest if I am to be up by 6 a.m. I wash my dishes and head to bed. I fall asleep quickly. The next morning I wake up as soon as I hear my alarm go off. I quickly dress for training and head downstairs.

"Guten Morgen, Schwester. (Good morning, sister.)," Ludwig says making some toast.

"Morning," I mumble yawning. "Can you make me some toast?" I continue to say while pouring a cup of coffee.

"Ja," Ludwig says digging out two more slices of bread.

"Keseseseses, You are up early, schwester," Gilbert says smirking.

"Are you joining us today, älteren Bruder (older brother)?" I ask taking a sip of coffee.

"Nein, I am too awesome to go train," Gilbert says smirking.

"Okay, bruder," I say grabbing the plate of toast that just finished.

Training is uneventful. I am running ahead with Kiku while Ludwig is trying to get Feli to run faster. Once we finish for the day I head to the bathroom to shower. Luckily everyone except Feli seems to have learnt to avoid the bathroom when I am in it. He still occasionally tries to shower with me.

After lunch I learn that Feli convinced Germany to throw a party to celebrate me becoming part of his family. I quickly help plan for the party. A few days later, the invited nations come over to Germany's house. Everyone starts the party well-behaved for once. Even Francis much to my surprise.

"ve, This is fun. Right, Anna?" Feli asks sipping a glass of red wine.

"Ja, it is," I say sipping my hard lemonade.

"Mon cher, how is it you become Germany and Prussia's little sister?" Francis asks me putting his arm around me.

"We were drunk and Ludwig had a copy of the newest form for adopting. I was happy with it once I was sober and Ludwig and Gilbert didn't mind if it stayed that way," I say moving the Frenchman's arm. "By the way Francis, I am not your dear. I will castrate you if you get touchy feely with me," I say glaring at the Frenchman.

"O-oui," Francis says backing away from me.

"You were better as a child! I wish you were a child!" a drunken Arthur shouts.

"Iggy, you drunk already?" Alfred asks laughing.

"I am not drunk," Arthur slurs.

He pulls out his wand and casts a spell. Alfred dodges but Anna who was walking over to find out what was wrong gets hit with it instead. In the place of the 25 year old is a now a baby no older than a year old.

Ludwig's Point of View

I hear England and America fighting. I sigh and walk over to stop the two when a flash of light erupts blinding everyone for a moment. I see where my schwester once stood now has a baby crying on the floor. Hungary immediately heads to the child calming baby Anna down.

"ve, Anna is a baby now?" Feli asks confused.

"Ja. England used his magic again," I say sighing. "Hungary I will take her. Hopefully England will reverse this in the morning," I say to Hungary taking Anna and cradling her.

"ve, do you have any baby clothes for her?" Feli asks smiling at baby Anna cutely.

"Kesesesese, We still have some stuff for when West was little," Gilbert says laughing.

"Bruder, what are you laughing at?" I ask annoyed.

"West, you are cradling a baby like a mutti," Gilbert says doubling over in laughter.

"Shut up," I say blushing slightly.

Thank gott everyone except Hungary and England left soon after. Hungary took some of my old toddler clothes Gilbert had hidden away and altered them to fit Anna. While Anna dressed in only her now over-sized t-shirt clung to me tightly the whole time.

I woke early to go shopping for baby supplies. Since it was England who cast the spell, I better buy enough for a few weeks. Once I finished that I head home sighing in relief.

"ve, Good morning," Italy says hugging me once I am through the door. My face heats up slightly.

"Good morning, Italy," I say trying to escape his arms.

Anna chose this moment to wake up wailing loudly. I race over to get her from her makeshift bed. She instantly calms down once I hold her. Italy walks over and starts cooing over her.

"ve, can I hold her?" Italy asks still cooing at Anna.

"Nein," I say walking towards the kitchen to get Anna some breakfast. I was up late researching all acceptable foods for a baby and am tired.

"Please, Doitsu. I will be really careful," Italy promises pouting.

"Fine, after she has breakfast," I say sighing.

"ve, let's give her pasta," Italy says smiling happily.

"Nein, the book I read says we must introduce new textures slowly," I say suppressing a yawn.

"ve, Doitsu. You have a book on bambini (babies)?" Italy asks confused.

"Ja," I say preparing a small amount of eggs for Anna. The book said it was important to in a baby's diet.

Anna seems to be a picky eater since she hardly touched her eggs. I did not realize this when she was an adult. She always eats what is in front of her, except for wurst. She has a strong dislike for wurst. Italy immediately begs to hold her as soon as breakfast is done.

"Fine, but you are to sit down on the couch and not move," I say sighing.

"Ve, okay Doitsu," Italy says smiling happily.

Hungary is on the couch next to Italy already awing and cooing over Anna. England stumbles in at that moment.

"Good morning, England," I say slightly annoyed.

"Good morning," England mumbles. His eyes widen in surprise once he sees Italy cuddling a baby.

"Where is Anna?" England asks me avoiding my glare.

"She is the baby in Italy's arms," I calmly say glaring harshly.

"Umm, how?" England says figuring out the answer.

"You cast some sort of spell at America and instead it hit Anna. Now reverse what you have done to mein schwester," I state in an irritated voice.

"I have to go research which spell I used. For that I have to head back to my home," England says nervously.

"How long could that take?" I ask him trying to calm down.

"A few weeks at least," England says relieved that Germany was calming down.

"Fine," I say allowing England to leave shortly after.

I spend the day trying to do paperwork. Anna is placed on the floor with a few toys to play with. Italy however made that impossible. He keeps insisting on playing with Anna. I try to get Anna to stay in the living room with Hungary and Italy, but as soon as I am out of sight she starts to throw a fit. I wonder if this is related to that nightmare she had a few weeks ago. I think to myself as I sigh for the millionth time.

Anna crawls over to me and tugs on my pant leg before reaching towards me.

"Ja, Anna," I say picking her up.

Anna smiles happily and points to her toys.

"You want me to play with you?" I ask confused.

Anna just smiles happily in response.

"Ja, I will," I say sighing in defeat. This soon becomes a pattern. Every day Anna will stay attached to only me or bruder. I know from the books I read that this is normal behavior, but there are other people she should also do this with.

"ve, does Anna hate me?" Italy asks me pouting after Anna once again cries for me.

"Nein. She just very attached to me and mein bruder," I state looking up from my paperwork.

"ve, really? Doitsu would make a good daddy," Feli says handing Anna to me.

"I'm not so sure about that," I say blushing slightly.

Italy just looks at me confused till Anna lets out a small giggle at what was happening. This immediately catches Italy's attention. I sigh as Anna keeps a tight grip on my shirt.

A few days later Hungary shows up with some baby clothes for Anna. Bruder starts acting like an idiot as he always does. Anna giggles as they argue. Italy manages to hold her and I manage to get some paperwork done until a loud thud reaches my ears. I think nothing of it at first till a loud wailing cry comes shortly after.

Once I walk out I see Prussia out cold on the floor and Anna crawled over to him crying and tugging on his sleeve. Hungary tries to reach for her but Anna just squirms out of reach.

"Anna, shh. Es ist in Ordnung. (Anna, shh. It is alright.)," I say walking towards her. She reaches up for me to pick her up.

Anna continues to cry as I rock her slightly. Why is she so upset? This can't have anything to do with her dream does it? I ponder as I try to calm her down.

"Germany, why is she acting like this?" Hungary asks placing bruder on the couch.

"Well she kept having a nightmare of me and bruder dying when she was still an adult," I say still trying to calm her down.

"Does she have the mindset of an infant?" Hungary asks me worried.

"Ja, I believe she does," I say finally calming her down.

"Oh dear," Hungary says shocked.

"If you could please refrain from hitting bruder in front of Anna while she is in this state," I say now holding a sleeping Anna.

"You are certainly acting like a father with her," Hungary says smiling. She quickly takes a picture of me and Anna.

"W-what?" I say blushing.

"It is so cute," Hungary says smiling brighter. "I must leave now."

With that Hungary was gone. I place Anna in her cradle and go check on my bruder. He starts to stir not long after I walk into the living room.

"Hey West, where is the frying pan witch?" Gilbert says rubbing his sore head.

"She left a little while ago," I say sitting in a chair.

"Where is Anna? She was out here earlier," Gilbert says confused.

"She is in her cradle. I had a hard time trying to get her calm after you were knocked out.

"Oh, you mean cause of her little fear," Gilbert says smirking.

"Her fear? I know she had a nightmare about us dying but she has not mentioned any fear," I say looking concerned.

"Ja, she is afraid of losing us. Kesesesese like that would ever happen to the awesome me," Gilbert says unfazed.

"Was? She told you this?" I say surprised.

"Nein, the awesome me figured it out for myself. I thought you would have noticed how even as an adult she clings to us only," Gilbert says surprised his clever little brother had not figured it out.

"I suspected she was hiding something," I say surprised by bruder's observation.

"Of course she is West. Kesesesese, I am going out drinking with Francis and Antonio," Gilbert says walking out the door.

"Ja, bruder," I say walking towards my office.

A cry interrupts my walk to my office. Anna apparently has woken up. I walk over to her cradle. A smile appears on her tear stained face once she sees me.

"Haben Sie eine gute Nickerchen, Anna? (Have a good nap, Anna?)," I ask picking her up.

My only response is a bright smile. I smile a little as well.

"ve, Doitsu has a nice smile," Italy suddenly says walking in to my room.

"Italy?" I say blushing.

"ve, I like when Doitsu smiles. You don't look as scary," Italy says smiling.

"I am suppose to be stern and serious," I say trying to will my blush away.

"ve, but you are kind as well," Italy says walking over to me and Anna.

"Ita," Anna says smiling and reaching towards Italy.

"Did she just say her first word?" I say in shock.

"ve, She said my name," Italy says trying to grab her.

Anna coos happily in Italy's arms. I am surprised she has started to speak. Does this mean the spell is wearing off? I ponder leading the two to my office.

"Bwother," Anna says getting my attention.

"Ja, Anna," I say starting my paper work

"Play," Anna says crawling towards me.

The phone starts to ring at that moment. I answer it as Anna tugs on my pant leg.

"Germany, the spell will reverse itself. Anna should be starting to gain her speech and other motor functions soon. She will always start to age up rather quickly over the next two weeks or so," England says scanning the book as he talks.

"Ja, she is already starting to talk again," I say glad that she will be back to normal soon.

"Good," England says hanging up.

"Play," Anna says scowling at the lack of attention.

"Ja, Ja," I say going over to her toys with her.

"Yay," she says picking up a baby doll.

"Ita, play," Anna says looking up at Italy.

"Si," Italy says getting on the floor.

The next day Anna starts getting on her feet and walking around slowly at first. As the next two days progress she is more steady and looks more like a three or four year old. The largest change was on the third day. Anna goes from three or four years old to seven years old.

"England did say that she would age rather rapidly over the next two weeks," I say to myself as I work on my paperwork.

"Big brothers, dinnertime," Anna yells loudly through the house.

"ANNA!" I yell.

"Ja, bruder," Anna says quietly.

"No yelling in the house," I scold.

"Ja," Anna mutters.

"ve, did Anna do something wrong?" Italy asks setting plates of pasta down.

"She was yelling throughout the house," I say angrily.

"I won't do it again," Anna says tearing up.

"Gute. Now where is bruder?" I ask looking for Gilbert.

"Kesesesese, miss the awesome me West?" Gilbert says smirking coming out from the living room.

"Let's eat already," I say sighing.

After supper, Anna plays quietly while I finish my paperwork. I only pause to send her to bed. Once she is asleep I go to work some more. Around 11 p.m. I finish and head to bed. The next morning Anna has aged once again. Now she is eleven and it is harder to entertain her. All Gilbert's games are too violent for her age and the few toys around no longer fit her age. Italy took her shopping for more clothes yesterday. I go to a meeting with my boss while Italy and Anna stay at home. Anna's boss has calls during this time to see if she is okay. I told her boss that she came down with an illness that will take several weeks to cure.

Feliciano's Point of View

"ve, should we answer the phone?" I ask Anna.

"Nein, Feli," she says going back to watch TV.

"ve, okay," I say watching TV with her.

"Bruder is back!" Anna says running for the front door.

"Welcome Home, Bruder," Anna says hugging Doitsu.

"Ja," Doitsu says getting free of Anna.

Ludwig's Point of Veiw

Once free of Anna's hug. I go check the answer machine for messages. Anna's boss was the only call missed. I sigh and head to my office to work. I hear Italy and Anna making dinner. I hope that Anna ages back up soon. I think as I work on paperwork.

Over the next two days Anna ages even faster. She goes from eleven to fifteen and fifteen to eighteen. I breathe a sigh of relieve once this happens. Anna spends a lot of time with Gilbert during this time and with Italy when he is over. Finally two more days pass and she is back to 25 years old. Italy celebrates by playing football with her. Dragging his older brother and Spain over. France and Gilbert join in as well. The teams are Italy, Romano, and Spain VS Gilbert, France, and Anna. Anna's team won only because halfway through France started to molest the people there and Italy's team was ready for siesta. Anna returned to work and all is back to normal for now.

Anna's Point of View

Dear Journal,

I am so happy to be my 25 year old self again. Arthur should not be allowed near alcohol. That is one odd experience to grow up all over again. I really hope Ludwig does not figure out that I fear losing my family. I don't remember much from when I was in infant form. I only remember after I reached seven. I hope I did nothing too embarrassing. That would royally suck.

Anna Beilschmidt

Hi there. Thanks for reading this chapter. Now to acknowledge my reviewers:

Skaftafell: thank you for the review. You are right. The curse is a blessing in disguise. Anna just hasn't realized it yet.

I don't know when I will try to update again soon. I have been suffering from writer's block on this story. So hopefully I will get Chapter Five up soon. Again for those who have reviewed the original version of this story. Just PM me your reviews. If you are new to reading this please review. I accept any constructive criticism. It helps me improve the story.

For the next chapter I will try to write it in third person. I was trying something new with this story by writing it in first person. Let me know which you prefer. And what conflict should Anna face next?

Thanks for reading.

Please review
