{Start Chapter}

"So this is the stream, huh?" Arthur sighed as he stood along with his team, staring at the pathetic excuse for a stream. It was fairly wide but void of any water; only mud was left behind from the rain fall from earlier.

"How do you suggest we cross that?" Roderich pushed his glasses up his nose, turning to Ludwig who they'd silently put in charge of...well everything.

"The map doesn't show any bridge or anything. So we're going to have to go across it. I suggest, Ivan and I being the tallest, should stand across and help everyone over. Agreed?" They all nodded and the blonde haired German handed Moscow to his brother and situated himself in the 'stream', one foot on either bank, Ivan doing the same opposite him.

"Okay who's first?" Roderich offered himself forward and took Ludwig and Ivan's hands, jumping across and landing somewhat gracefully on the other side.

"Can you take Moscow, Roddy?" Gilbert asked, passing Ivan their son who passed it to the Austrian on the other side, then helping the Prussian across after him. Gilbert also landed...on his feet. He hadn't drunk anything else since their little game so he was semi-sober.

Moving the other 3 children and the pushchairs across was pretty easy after Lovino had gotten past the whole 'Potato and Vodka bastards near his kid' thing. Lovino as a whole was pretty difficult to deal with.

"I don't need any of your help! I'll jump across on my own!" The italian folded his arms over his chest.

"Lovino, don't be so stubborn. I'm your brother-in-law. Just let me help you across. I don't want you to fall." Lovino blinked at how nice Ludwig was to him when all he'd been was...evil. He tried to put it down to the brother-in-law thing and not that the German was actually a nice person but let him help him across nonetheless.

Rosalie was the last to help across the stream. She took the hands of both men but just as she was jumping, a cry of "Da~!" from Moscow caught Ivan's attention. The russian removed his hand unintentionally from Rosalie's to wave at his son who he didn't realise was waving at his uncle. The girl, haivng only one hand to grip onto, emitted a scream as she fell face first into the mud of the stream, Ludwig not able to hold her up.

Everyone stood gawking for a second before the pompous Austrian offered his hand to her, helping her up from the stream, Ludwig and Ivan also crossing over.

"T-thank you..." The woman stuttered as she gazed up at her rescuer.

"Yeah, whatever." Roderich produced a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the mud from his hands, grimacing.

"Oh no...I'm soaked through to my skin!"

"I can help you with that mon cherie..." France waggled his eyebrows resulted in Arthur and Lovino synchronised gagging.

"Um...I'm alright thanks..."

"Daddy?" Verona looked up at her father questioningly.

"Ja hun?"

"I'm hungry. When are we going to eat?"

"Oui! I'm starving!" Quebec nodded in agreement.

"Can...can we have tomatoes unca Lu-wig?" Valencia looked up innocently, sucking his thumb despite his father telling him not to.

"I packed some food. We'll find the first dot and then sit down to eat."

They found the dot pretty soon after, attached to a tree. The dot was blue just as it was supposed to be with the letter G on it. Gilbert insisted the G stood for his name because of how awesome he was and no one could really be bothered to argue with him so just let him believe it. It was better than him making jokes regarding the fact the spot was marked G making it a G-Spot.

After sitting down on a log and eating some snacks they set off again. They hadn't realised but they had been out for nearly 3 hours now and both teams had only just found their first dots.

Speaking of the other team...

"Okay dudes! So I'd say the quickest way to reach the next dot would be to take this shortcut through this field right here." Alfred pointed at the map.

"Ve~ that sounds good. It won't be as far to walk!"

"Are you stupid? There's obviously a reason it's got gates around it!" Vash grumbled angrily, drawing his finger across the outline of the field on the map.

"Vash-kun makes a lot of sense." Kiku nodded.

"How about we sit down a little longer and have some more snacks, aru? Then we can really decided where to go."

"M-maybe we should take the route past the lake?" Mattie spoke softly.

"Did you hear something amigos?"

"Tony!"

"Ohhhh never mind it was just Marvin. Dios Mio! You had me a little worried there-" Antonio sneezed. "Marcus."*

"Antonio-san, do you have a cold?" Kiku's dark eyes filled with worry for his friend. This was practically an ambulance-worthy emergency!**

"It's fine amigo. Just a little cold. I gave Lovi my coat ya see."

"Oh. It's very sweet how much you care about him." the Japanese man smiled softly.

"Ja. To be honest, I wouldn't give Roddy my coat. He can get his own damn coat to keep him warm!"

"Ve~ Vash why do I get the feeling that you and Roderich have had a fight?"

"We haven't had a fight Feli. He's just a total pussy is all."

"Oh man I know the feeling! Arthur is such a pussy all the time!"

"Daddy, whats that?" Alfred's eyes widened at his daughter's innocent question.

"It's a urm..."

"Cat." Kiku supplied.

"Yeah. Cheers dude. It's a cat. But it's not really a good way to say cat so you shouldn't say it."

"Oh...okay~!" Chelsea seemed satisfied with the answer and went back to playing I Spy with her friends.

"I think we should do what Yao said and have some more snacks, ve~."

"Dude, you only think thats a good idea cos you're Italian!"*** Alfred was usually quite patient but he wasn't getting his way in a quick enough manner to assure their team victory so he was being a little temperamental.

"Waaa~! Don't shout at me!"

"There is nothing wrong with Italians! Stupid bastard!"

"Wowww~! You've been spending too much time with your moody husband!"

"Don't you dare say anything bad about my Lovi! Especially when there's ALOT worse stuff I can say about your man!"

"Oh yeah? Like what? Seriously dude, we all know he can't cook."

"Like...his terrible taste in humans!"

A gasp resounded from the American and pretty soon him and the Spaniard were in a heated argument. A sigh resounded from the chinese man.

"Chinese snacks are supposed to calm things down, aru..."

"I guess not even chinese snacks can calm things down when there are idiots involve." The ever-dry Vash mumbled, picking Zurich out of his pram and rocking him as he began to whine.

"Dad!"

"Oui, Sey?"

"There's a big muddy ditch over there look!" The girl lead her father and the rest of the men, including Antonio and Alfred who had quickly forgotten about their fight when something more interesting came up, towards the muddy stream Team 2 had crossed earlier. The other children stood near it staring at the mud as it became evident they were going to have to get down and dirty to win this prize.

(A few hours later)

Team 2 had found their second dot and had nearly reached their third. They we all getting pretty tired of walking now and the children no longer had their feet on the ground. Valencia sat in his pushchair being pushed by Lovino who inwardly complained he was too big for a pushchair now yet didn't deny him the luxury of sitting in it. Quebec sat on her father's shoulders, chin resting on his blonde head. Verona was getting a piggy back from scary uncle Ivan who, as scary as he was, was rather fun to get a piggy back from. And of course, Moscow resided in his uncle's arms, refusing to sit in his own pushchair or be handed to anyone else.

"Awesome~! We have the third dot! Now we've go G, B and-"

"C. For cat."

"Yeah Catman. C for cat." Gilbert smirked at his lazy friend who seemed to have drifted off into fantasies about the felines he adored so much.

"Da~!" Moscow tangled his hand in Ludwig's slicked back hair.

"Say...East? Do you ever wonder what he's saying when he says that?" Ludwig had been thinking about it the past few hours. It was always possible he was simply copying his Russian father but there was always another option.

"Hm? Nah not really West. He's just saying ja like Ivan. Why?"

"Oh. I was just thinking...what if he was trying to say Daddy?"

Gilbert gave his brother a strange look but the blonde's thoughts were confirmed when Moscow spoke a little more.

"Da-yee!"

"Looks like you were right West. Give him here then." Gilbert held his arms out for his son who Ludwig began to pass to him.

However, Moscow resisted beginning to whine and sob, holding his arms back out to Ludwig, all the while crying, "Da-yee! Da-yee!"

Everyone froze and watched. A looks of confused shock passed over Ivan's face as his mind tried to make sense of what had just happened. The shock on Gilbert's face however quickly became a blend of fury and misery, disappointment and hatred. But most of all sadness. As smalls tears dripped down the silver-haired man's cheeks, his lips quivered and it all sunk in.

He just turned and walked off. Unable to face anyone. His friends, the man he loved, even the man he grew up with, his own younger brother.

His own younger brother who his child had just called his father.
