Trigger warning: A another character death.
I don't own Hetalia nor Nyotalia nor Dr. Seuss nor Green Eggs and ham.
Bianca quickly prepares dinner for Ron and Jessie.
She's determined to make the best dinner for her kids. She's also hoping to put more meat into Jessie's bone (in a non disturbing way) to give her more strength.
Knock! Knock!
'I'll get it!' Ron calls out as he heads to the door, then opens it. He sees a man with pale blond hair and wearing a pair of sunglasses.
'Hello, are you Ron?' The man asks him.
'Yes... are you Mr Gilbert?' Ron asks him.
'Hehe! The one and only awesome big bro of Monika.' Gilbert chirps cheerfully as Ron let's him in.
'So you'll be our new Uncle?' Jessie asks innocently.
'That's right!' Gilbert says pridefully.
'Please, Gilbert.' Monika says as she came in. 'Don't show off your ego.'
'But, Moni!' Gilbert whines at her. 'I want to show them I'm a fun Uncle and not a boring old man in his 40s.'
'So is it true that you took care of Mama Monika at the age of 18?' Jessie asks them in interest.
'That's true!' Gilbert says as he grins.
'Don't tell me that he's going to tell us a story.' Ron groans in annoyance.
'Bro, this fic is about everyone's back stories and what they've gone through.' Jessie tells him.
'Don't break the 4th wall!' Monika hisses to Jessie.
'Sorry.' Jessie says uncomfortably.
'Hey! I'm telling a awesome story here!' Gilbert says in annoyance.
Everyone looks at Gilbert.
'Good, it all started out with me being 18 years old and planing to go to a good college, but everything immediately stopped...'
Flashback mode now activated!
18 year old Gilbert groaned in annoyance.
'Don't worry Gilbert.' His older friend, Yue, reassured him. 'We've only got 30 minutes left, then we can leave work and you slope in your room like the lazy gorilla you are.'
'I know, but working in a museum is worst idea ever.' Gilbert complained loudly. 'It's so boring.'
'This the only job where I never get harassed nor discriminated for being a trans.' Yue told him harshly. 'So stop acting like a whiny little bitch and man up.'
'That's true for you.' Gilbert said bluntly. Just because she's a trans, doesn't give her a right to boss him around.
'Tch.' Yue said rudely.
'How are you even friends?' Gilbert asked her.
'I don't fucking know.' Yue said in annoyance.
'Watch your mouth, Miss Wen!' A man warned her. 'We aren't paying you for being rude to your co workers.'
'Yes, sir.' Yue said as she tried to put on her best smile, then glared at Gilbert when he snickered.
...
'Gilbert!' A man came in.
'What?' Gilbert asked in annoyance as he was looking at the clock waiting for the final five minutes so he can leave.
'We've got a call from the hospital... it's about your father.'
Gilbert's eyes widen in fear and horror.
...
Gilbert ran down a hospital hall. He finds 5 year old Monika crying and holding onto a nurse.
'What... happened?' Gilbert asked in fear.
'Daddy... fell on the floor and fell asleep.' Monika tried to explain, but soon started babbling silently to herself.
'Your father had a heart attack.' The nurse explained. 'He seemed really stressed out that it triggered his death.'
'What?' Gilbert asked in shock. 'No... that can't be true.'
'I'm sorry, but it's true.' The doctor told him as he came out of the room.
'Monika just turned 5 years old few weeks ago...' Gilbert started babbling to himself.
His sister continued to cry.
...
'Gil...' Yue said sadly as she looked at him with a sympathetic look. 'I'm sorry...'
They were currently at his father's funeral.
'I... am not sure what to do...' Gilbert said as tears slipped from his eyes.
'Gilbert! Why is Daddy buried into the ground while he's sleeping?' Monika asked Gilbert innocently and fearfully.
'Monika... I'll be caring for you.' Gilbert told her.
...
About a few days later. Yue was helping him support him.
Ding dong!
'I'll get it.' Gilbert said as he went to the door.
Gilbert opened the door.
'Hello~!' A cheerful young man with dark brown hair, bright brown eyes and olive skin. He was wearing a brown suit.
'Uhh... hi... who are you?' Gilbert asked the man. 'Why does look familiar?' As he thought.
'I'm Julius Vargas!' He introduced himself happily.
'That definitely sounds familiar.' Gilbert thought to himself.
'I'd like to tell that I'm a new neighbor. I'm now living here with my two daughters.' Julius said happily. 'I'd like to know if Torvald Beilschmidt is here.'
'My father?' Gilbert asked in shock.
'Yes! I was his old high school buddy back in the days!' Julius said happily. 'You must be Gilbert! It's so great to see you all grown up! You know since your parents gave birth to you around your age!'
'I've already know that...' Gilbert said uncomfortably. 'I need to tell you something Mr Julius.'
...
'What am I a fucking house maid?' Yue asked herself frustration as she finds herself giving some snacks to Gilbert and a random man. Monika was currently taking her nap. She decided to listen in into their conversation.
'Torvald... died?' Julius asked in a shocked tone.
'Yes... mother left us when Monika's two...' Gilbert explained calmly as he could.
Julius looked silent for a moment, before a smile appeared on his face. 'I've got a idea!'
'What's that?' Gilbert asked him.
'Came work with me!' Julius said happily. 'You can work in a day care center with me! If you work with me then I'll happily support you and your sister.'
'You will?' Gilbert asked in shock.
'Yes!' Julius chirped. 'Plus, your little sister can make friends with my little girl!'
...
Monika sat in her play room drawing a sloppy drawing. She heard small energetic foot steps coming up the hall.
'Whatcha doin?'
Monika jumped when she heard a unfamiliar, high pitch and girly voice speak up. She turned to the speaker. It was a girl around her age. She had curly dark brown hair pulled up into a puffy ponytail, bright brown eyes and a skin tone that was slightly darker Monika's. She was wearing pink dress.
'W-Who are you?' Monika asked in a uncomfortable voice as she stared at the random stranger in her house.
'I'm Bianca Vargas!' The girl grinned as she introduced herself proudly. 'My family and I moved into your neighborhood. I'm your new neighbor!'
'Oh.' Monika said awkwardly.
'What's your name?' Bianca asked her in curiosity.
'I'm Monika Beilschmidt...' Monika said shyly.
'That's a pretty name for a pretty girl like you.' She chirped cheerfully.
'BIANCA WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?' A new angry voice spoke up.
'Oh uh!' Bianca said awkwardly. 'I've left my big sister behind.'
'There you are!' A girl around 8 years old came into the room. She had dark brown shoulder length hair that reached her shoulders, hazel eyes and olive skin. She wore a frilly light blue dress with a matching hair band.
'Watch your language.' Monika said in annoyance.
'Who do you think that you are?' The older girl sneered coldly.
'Chiara, please stop!' Bianca said frantically.
'This isn't your house.' Monika in anger. 'This daddy's house!'
'Girls! Girls! What's going on?' Gilbert asked as he came in with Julius behind him.
'This girl was said a really bad word!' Monika pointed at Chiara.
'CHIARA!' Julius yelled at his older daughter.
'Sorry...' Chiara said as she became fearful from her angry father.
'Anyways, this is Julius Vargas.' Gilbert introduced to the new guests. 'He's going to help me out on raising you.'
...
Later on Monika meets this random girl named Lin. She tried to make with her as she went to day care center with her. Sadly, Lin couldn't be with them any longer, because she's going to another school.
'I'm sorry about that Lin.' Monika said to the young Asian girl.
'It's fine.' Lin said sadly. 'I'll try to make better friends in my kindergarten school.'
'Okay.'
...
Bianca and Monika's friendship does grow over time.
'HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MONIKA!' Bianca greeted her with a giant hug.
'Thanks, Bianca.' 8 year old Monika said as grew used to her hug attacks.
'I've got you this really cute sweater.' Bianca said as she showed her knitted light blue sweat shirt.
'Thanks Bianca.' Monika smiled at her cheerful friend.
Gilbert happily filmed that cute moment. Julius giggled cheerfully. Chiara fell asleep.
While Gilbert gets the hang of his job.
'I won't eat them here. I won't eat them there. I won't eat them ANYWHERE!' Gilbert reads to 'Green Eggs and ham' by Dr Seuss to the kids.
Julius grinned at that sight.
While there were some some ups and downs with Gilbert and Monika's life.
'GILBERT!' 10 year old Monika called out. 'The ceiling's leaking!'
'Shit!' Gilbert cursed under his breath.
Monika and Gilbert watched as water dripped into the pots and pans.
'I'll get that fixed as soon as I can.' Gilbert said uncomfortably.
'It looks like that we can't cook anything for a while.' Monika said.
Being men that's raising their daughters or younger sister can be a challenge, especially hitting puberty.
'Julius...' Gilbert asked his God Father. 'Have you ever had do deal Chiara or Bianca getting... their womanly moments after hitting puberty?'
They were currently sitting in the bar of a restaurant.
'Yes.' Julius explained. 'When Chiara got her first period. I wasn't home at the time. Bianca was horrified at the sight of her sister bleeding that she almost called the hospital. Thankfully Chiara stopped her before starting any form of embarrassment.'
'Well... Monika's already 12 years old... she hasn't hit her monthly moment, but...' Gilbert looked really uncomfortable. 'Her chest size has grown out a little early.'
'Oh my!' Julius said in shock.
'I don't what to do here!' Gilbert said as he panicked.
Luckily that problem was solved.
'Why are you helping me out on this?' Monika asked the 15 year old Chiara.
'Because, you're brother is a wuse on helping helping you out with hitting puberty.' Chiara said as they left a clothing store. 'Though it's a more wise choice any ways.'
'Chiara.' Monika said.
'Yes?' Chiara asked in annoyance.
'Thank you for helping me.' Monika said awkwardly.
'No problem. We women do need to stick together on situations like this.' Chiara said.
They've soon grew older into their teens and develop into their passion.
'BIANCA PASS THE BALL!'
'Right away, Anne!' 16 year old Bianca grinned as she kicked the soccer into the goal.
'Nice job, Bianca!' Her team complimented her.
Bianca was apart of Dickinson High's girls soccer team.
'Well, done Bianca.' Anne said with a smile. Anne's a exchanged student from Swizterland, whom moved in here not long ago.
'Thanks, Anne.' Bianca said, then noticed someone walking on the other side of the the gates of the soccer field. 'HI MONIKA!'
Monika exchanged a smile to Bianca and resume jogging. Monika's apart of the jogging club.
They were in their sophomore year in high school.
Monika noticed the girl's baseball team going on actively. She saw Amelia beaming excitedly. The girl's like Bianca. Bursting with energy, but more rough.
...
'How did school went?' Gilbert asked Monika.
'Same old same old.' Monika said calmly as she sat in the kitchen. 'Though, I did hear that there's going to be a new student. I think that he's from Japan.'
'Oh. It sounds so much better then my story on how a baby threw up on my shirt.' Gilbert said bluntly.
'That explains the different shirt.' Monika said calmly.
'Thanks... how's everything going with Bianca?' He asked her.
'She leaves me behind every time when something new grabs her attention.' Monika said in annoyance.
'Hehe!' Gilbert giggled. 'It's amazing on how you're a jogger, yet you can't even catch up with Bianca.'
'Yeah. Yeah.' Monika said in annoyance.
...
The next day after that.
'Bianca, Wait up!' Monika said as Bianca took off ahead of her... again.
'She went to your home room.' Lin told Monika.
'Thanks, Lin.' Monika said as she heads her way to Bianca's direction.
...
'Why does Monika need to be that slow?' Bianca asked herself frustration. She was in the science lad.
'Excuse me...'
Bianca looked up to see a strange Asian boy. He had jet black hair and dark brown eyes. He was wearing a white shirt and white pants. He seemed really nervous.
'Yes?' Bianca asked him in curiosity.
'Is this room 405?' The boy asked.
'Yes!' Bianca said with a smile.
'I'm Kiku Honda.' Kiku introduced himself to her. 'I'm new here.'
'Please to meet you, Kiku!' Bianca took her hand out to shake him. He looked hesitated, then shook it.
'Bianca.' Monika said as she made it to the door. 'Why so fast?'
'Monika!' Bianca said happily. 'I'd like you to meet Kiku Honda.'
Kiku looked flustered.
'So you're the new student, here?' Monika asked him.
'Yes.' Kiku said quietly.
'Welcome to Dickinson High.' Monika said calmly.
'Thanks.' Kiku said with smile on his face.
Pretty Kiku joined in most of Bianca and Monika's adventures. Alfred, Matthew, Carlos, Amelia, Gilbert and Chiara would tag along.
They've been on various random adventures like camping, skiing, bowling and heck there was even a time where Kiku, Monika and Bianca were locked themselves in a bathroom while tornado happened.
'Got any fours?' Monika asked Bianca as she held up a deck of cards.
'Nope. Go fish.' Bianca said holding her deck of cards.
They were sitting in the bath tub to together. With a flashback shining on it. The wind was howling they could hear the activity from outside.
'How long will this last?' Kiku asked them uncomfortably.
'Not sure.' Bianca said calmly.
'What kind of vacation is this?' Kiku asked himself.
When the tornado stopped. They got out and noticed that there's very little damage.
'At least that we've didn't end up in Muchkin land.' Monika said calmly.
Flashback mode now off!
'Poor, Kiku.' Monika says calmly.
'His reaction was priceless.' Gilbert says as he laughed.
'Will we ever get to meet Kiku?' Jessie asks in interest.
'Maybe.' Monika says.
Knock! Knock!
'Another guest?' Ron asks as he got to the door.
There were two women. One was holding a baby in her arms.
'I'm your step Aunt Chiara.' The brunette introduced herself.
'Oh...' Ron says calmly. Wasn't she the mean sister of Bianca?
'Chiara!' Gilbert says happily. 'You've made it! Oh! You've brought Erika and is that your baby?'
'Yes.' Erika says as she smiles.
'Is a baby?' Jessie asks as she looked Kenny with a smile.
'Oh, great.' Ron groans in annoyance. Jessie really loves babies. In the nursery of the orphanage. She'd tried helping out with the orphaned babies.
'Yes.' Erika says.
Ron looks at Erika. She had shoulder length golden blonde hair and bright blue green eyes. 'She looks familiar...'
'It's time for dinner!' Bianca calls out. 'Chiara? Erika?'
'Here's the letter dad wanted to send you.' Chiara says calmly as she hands a letter to Bianca.
'Thanks.' Bianca says as she took the letter.
'I've just wanted to meet your kids.' Erika says awkwardly to Bianca.
'Oh! That's nice.' Bianca says as she smiles at Erika.
'Thanks.' Erika says while she smiled back as she shifted Kenny in her arms.
'I'm going to leave.' Chiara says as she leaves. She felt that she wasn't needed here.
'Bye, Aunt Chiara!' Jessie waves at her.
'I've do think that I've should head back home as well.' Erika says calmly. 'Kiku would probably get concern if I got lost or have a mental breakdown.'
'Okay, please tell Kiku to come by sometime.' Bianca says as she waved to Erika.
'I will.' Erika replies back.
Ron watches as Erika leaves their new home.
'Monika?' Ron asks Monika.
'Yes, Ron?' Monika asks adoptive son in a calm tone.
'The Erika woman... wasn't she the woman that put that infamous serial killer away 3 years ago?' Ron asks her.
Monika pauses slightly. 'Yes, she is, but please don't ask her questions that could offend her and give her sensitive a subject.'
'Really, why?' Jessie asks in interest.
'Come on kids. Let's just enjoy our meal.' Gilbert says cheerfully. 'We should be celebrating that you kids finally have a home.'
'Okay!' Jessie says excitedly.
Ron still couldn't get Erika out of his mind.
That's it for chapter 10!
What do you think?
We've get to see Bianca and Monika's back story. Their live styles while growing up in their childhood.
Gilbert and Julius had it a bit harder, because they were raising girls together. Which means hitting puberty was way worse. Luckily Chiara stepped and acted the adult through the whole the whole situation.
We finally got to see Kiku interacting with Monika and Bianca in their back story along with a little story with them being trapped in the middle of a storm.
Ron recognizes Erika from the fact that she managed to face a criminal in court. That will be something that we'll get too later on.
Please, read and review!
