Disclaimer: I do not own Hetalia, only this story concept. Thanks to the people that reviewed, I really appreciate knowing that someone reads this story. I have decided that the next unit, while still a surprise, will definitely be one of the ones requested in the comments. So, this chapter is a little bit longer than the others, but that's because it took the extra length to get everything in. Enjoy the chapter and thanks for reading.


That night was the most fun I've had in a long time. Turns out that Mattie is really great with kids and Kiki took a liking to Lovi. Of course, though he protests severely, Lovi also took a liking to Kiki. It was adorable to see him following her around the kitchen. Kiki even tried to convince me to let Lovi sleep with her, but I didn't trust her to not accidentally suffocate him, Kiki is known for rolling around in bed. "Mama, can we sleep with you tonight?" Feli asks me.

He is rubbing his eyes tiredly and I notice Lovi and Al trying hard to stay awake. It took every ounce of my control to not squeal from cuteness overload. I look at the time on the clock and realize how late it must be for them, ten at night to be precise. I was going to set them up in the baby room from when Kiki was younger, but I guess one night won't hurt them. "Well, I suppose you can, but you should know that I have an alarm that wakes me up early," I inform them. Feli, Lovi, and Al nod to show they understand. "Then come along, it's pretty darn late as it is," I say.

I lead them down the hallway to my bedroom. I open the door and, after seeing my bed, am suddenly glad it is a king size. My grandmother, may she rest in peace, was adamant about giving me a huge fluffy bed to sleep in. I set the three on my bed and let them get comfortable. "Wait right here, I need to show your big brother to his room," I tell them. I walk out of the room and back to the living room. Mattie is still sitting on the couch reading a book, the TV on as background noise. "Hey, follow me to your room," I say.

"Oh, ok, let me just grab Kumajiro," he says quietly. He picks up the sleeping bear and follows me down the hallway, past my room and Kiki's. I stop in front of the fourth door on the left, hesitantly putting my hand on the knob.

"About this room, I was given free reign over half of the rooms in this house. This happens to be just one of the many themed rooms in the house. Just don't laugh… and welcome to the Canada Room," I explain. When I announce the name to the room I throw open the door. Inside the room is decorated with red and white walls, maple leaf designs everywhere, and stuffed animals native to Canada. Mattie walks into the room and gazes around in awe.

"Wow, I love this room, thank you for giving it to me," he says. Mattie turns around and flashes me a full tooth grin. My heart skips a beat and I blush slightly. I step forward quickly, peck him on the cheek, and walk out of the room. I don't look back to see the blush across Mattie's face. I run into my room, shutting the door behind me, and surprising the chibis on my bed.

"Why is your face redder than Lovino's tomatoes?" Al asks me. My gaze flicks to him and I mutter that it's nothing. Lovi and Feli are giving me weird looks and Al just shrugs his shoulders. I walk into my bathroom and get things ready for tomorrow morning before getting into the bed. Immediately after lying down Lovi, Feli, and Al huddle up next to me. Lovi is to my left with Al and Feli on my right. I wrap my arms around all of them and we chorus out our good-nights.

I wake up in the middle of the night short of breath. I take in ragged and unfulfilled amounts of air, wondering why I can't get enough. Then I notice the added pressure on my neck where my necklace chain is cutting into my throat. When I put my hand on the chain someone else's hand is already there. I look down and see Lovi grasping desperately at the chain in his sleep. I gently lift him higher on the bed, sighing in relief when the pressure on my air supply is lifted.

I look to my other side and see Al and Feli are curled up together next to me. I feel bad for Lovi, who doesn't have that kind of person to curl up with. In a silent apology I hug Lovi closer to me and curl around his tiny body. I don't make him let go of my chain, just let him hang on. My eyes close and I feel myself drifting back into dream land. Just as I am about to fall asleep, country music blares into the room.

Lovi jumps awake and looks around defensively. Due to his hold on my chain, and his sudden upward movement, the necklace snaps and my Star of David falls onto the mattress. "Oh no, it broke again," I say to myself. Lovi watches me as I reach over and shut off my alarm clock.

"The hell kind of bastard noise was that?" he asks grumpily. I am about to answer but get cut off by a hug from behind. When I turn around I see Feli hugging me and Al sitting behind him, obviously still tired. I smile and gather them all into a good morning hug.

"Good morning my little children. To answer your question Lovi, that was called country music. The most hated genre of music by many people, but I like it. Now, I need to go get a new chain for my Star," I say. I set the three down and walk over to my dresser. Inside the first drawer are about ten chains, all because I used to break my chain all the time as a kid.

"Mama, what is this?" Al asks me. I turn around and see him holding up the blue and white crystal Star. The six points shine in the light from the lamp I forgot to turn off last night. Feli and Lovi are staring at it in wonder.

"This is called a Star of David. It is a six pointed star that Jewish people wear to signify their religion. I wear it because I am Jewish, but it is hard sometimes. Despite the constant jokes and idiotic questions I keep wearing this special star, because it was the last thing I got from my father. Well, that's a story for another time, now we need to get ready for our day," I say cheerfully. I take the Star, put it on the chain, and pull the chain on over my head.

I spend the next hour and a half herding all the house members through the daily morning routine. Get everyone awake, cleaned up to some degree, hair and teeth brushed, breakfast made and had, then out the door for school. I herd everyone out to the car; suddenly glad grandma bought me an SUV for my birthday. At the time I thought it was weird, but now I know she was just looking out for my gas budget. "I just found these car seats from when Kiki and I were younger, so we'll use these for now. Mattie, can you please help me with these?" I ask him.

We spend the next few minutes awkwardly installing the car seats for Lovi, Feli, and Al. "Sarah, about last night, thanks," Mattie whispers. I nod and smile at him, focused on getting the car seat in properly.

"It's no problem Mattie, I just thought you deserved a room you'd be comfortable in," I reply. I'm too focused to see Mattie's face fall as he mutters a yeah. "There we go, all done with those. Now we can get all the kids into the car safely," I say excitedly. I put Feli in between Lovi and Al, since he seems like a sort of median between the two. Mattie and Kiki get into the car next and I drive us over to Kiki's daycare.

I tell everyone to get out so we can register the three at the daycare full time. Kiki runs out and goes inside, probably excited to play with her friends. I have Mattie grab Al and Feli while I get Lovi. "Mama, what is this stupid place? I want to stay with you dammit," Lovi grumbles.

"Well, I'm going to school, so I can't really take you with me. You'll only be here for the day and I'll get you later. Kiki is here too," I explain. He crosses his arms, but seems to accept my reasoning. "Hello, I'd like to register these kids for full time services," I say happily at the front desk.

"I'm sorry ma'am, but our registration time ended a week ago. We aren't taking any applicants until next year," the woman says. She has a bored expression on her face as she explains it to me. My smile falls and is replaced by a frown.

"I'm sorry, but I was unaware that there was a registration time. My little sister goes here, so why can't you just add these three into the same account?" I ask angrily.

"Look, there's nothing I can do about it. Now if you don't leave before causing a scene, we will be forced to escort you out and ban you and your sister from the daycare," she replies. I glare at her for about a minute before turning on my heel.

"Come on Mattie, we're going to school," I huff out angrily. I lead us all out to the car and help Lovi into his seat, sending him a reassuring smile, as Mattie helps Feli and Al into their seats.

"What are we going to do with these guys?" Mattie asks me. We had just parked in the school parking lot. There was twenty minutes until school starts and we were trying to figure out what to do. I contemplated the situation for a bit and came to a final conclusion.

"They'll just have to stay with us and attend school."


The next chapter is about having the chibis at school with them, that sounds like a great idea. So, the Star of David necklace is going to be important for later chapters. She wears it to signify her religion, but mostly because it was the last thing she ever got from her father. There will be fun feel times with that later. Anyway, there are also other rooms in their house coughmansioncough with country themes rooms. Thanks for reading, comments are nice, and look forward to the next chapter.
