Chapter 9

Disclaimer: I own nothing! I swear!

Isabella POV

The next morning I woke up next to something warm. When I looked down I saw it was Sealand. I smiled. He started to stir. He yawned and opened his little eyes.

"Good morning, mummy."

"Good morning, sweetie." I kissed his forehead. I grabbed his hand and led him downstairs. "Come on. Lets go have some breakfast. We're going back to Italy today." He looked excited. We ate our breakfast in silence. My dad and his friends just staring at us all the while. When we were done, we went upstairs and packed our bags. Looks like England sent a suitcase for Sealand. We went on the the plane and arrived in Rome a few hours later. I felt so at home.

When we got to our house everyone put there stuff away. We all came back downstairs and ate lunch. Halfway through our lunch, my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Isa! Isa, you have to come to the hospital right now!"

"Why?"

"Your mom's been in a car crash." I stood up.

"I'll be right there." I hung up. "Dad! Take care of Sealand! I yelled as I ran out the door grabbing Germany's car keys on the way there. I jumped in his car and drove as fast as I could to the hospital. Mom, please be alright.

Italy POV

I wonder what's wrong, I hope nothing bad happened.

"Maybe we shourd forrow her?" Japan suggested. We all nodded and followed out to his car, even Sealand.

Isabella POV

When I reached the hospital I ran straight for the information desk.

"Where is Rosa Lombardi?" I asked panicking.

"Room 205." I nodded my thanks and ran off. I reached room 205 and walked in. There, lying in a hospital bed looking more battered and broken than I have ever seen her, is my mother. I walked forward slowly and sank it my knees beside her bed. I grasped one of her hands in mine gently.

(Translations at the bottom.)

"Mami?" Since my mom is half Mexican she loves it when I speak Spanish to her. "Mami, estas bien?" She began to stir.

"Hmm, mija? Chikita, eres tu?"

"Si, Mami, soy yo. Que te paso?"

"Iva a visitarte, pero un caro paso mui rapido por enfrente de mi."

"Pero estas bien verdad? Te vas a mejorar?"

"No se, mija." She said with a sad smile. I felt my eyes well up with tears.

"Si puedes, tu eres fuerte. Se que puedes aser lo." Her eyes widened and I felt someone's hand on my shoulder.

"Hola, Rosa." It was dad. Mom told me all about how he always made the effort to speak Spanish with her.

"Feliciano. Que ases aqui?"

"Nuestra niña." he said simply. I walked out to let them have some privacy.i saw Germany, Sealand, and Japan there.

"Miss Isaberra, are you arright?" Japan asked with a hint of concern in his eyes. That was saying a lot since he was always unemotional about everything. I nodded my head, I slowly began to shake my head back and forth. I felt my eyes well up with more tears. I ran into Japan's arms as I cried into the smaller nation's shoulder. He tensed but hugged me back after a while. I was not okay. My mother, the woman who raised me by herself, the woman that would sometimes go to sleep hungry just so I could eat, the woman that was always there for me, could be gone at any moment. I was anything but okay.

"No, I'm not okay." I whimpered out. Germany came and took me from Japan's arms. He hugged me to his muscular chest.

"It vill be alright. Ve are here for you." He whispered into my hair. I nodded. Dad came out.

"She wants to talk to you." He said simply. I nodded. I went inside.

"Hola, mami."

"Isabella, te quiero decir algo. Si algo me pasa a mi, todo va ser para ti. La casa, el caro, todo." My eyes widened.

"No, no ables asi! Te vas a mejorar!" I yelled as I desperately hugged my mother.

"No creo, puedo sentir que ya es mi tiempo. Person que no pude aser Mas para ti. Tu padre me conto que adoptaste un niño. Quidalo bien. Lo quiero conoser."

"Si, mami." I leaned my head out the door.

"Sealand? My mom wants to meet you." He nodded as he came in. I held his shoulders as we approached my mom's bed.

"Mom, this is Peter. I adopted him." She smiled.

"Hello, Peter. I'm Isabella's mom." He smiled.

"Pleased to meet you, ma'am." They chatted a bit about how she wanted him to take care of me. I sent him outside after a bit. She suddenly gasped.

"Es mi tiempo." She said simply as her eyes started to flutter closed. I panicked.

"Mami! No me dejes! Por favor!" But the heart monitor beeped her last heart beat. I felt myself fall to the floor on my knees.

"No." I whispered. "No!" I screamed. I felt my body shake with sobs. "Mami! No me dejes! Que voy aser sin ti!" I screamed as I cried into her stomach. I was lying on her trying my best not to let go. I felt hands on my shoulders.

"She's gone." Whispered Germany. I shook my head rapidly.

"No! She can't be!" I screamed. I wouldn't let go of mom's body and eventually the nurses came in and interfered. They stabbed a needle into my neck and everything went black. The last thing I remember thinking is, "Te amo, madre mia." And I passed out in someone's familiar warm arms.

Italy POV

My poor daughter. I can't believe Rosa is gone. She wouldn't let go and the nurses had to come in and inject her with something to make her go to sleep. When she was about to fall, a man came in and caught her. He was about as tall as Germany and had light brown almost blond hair. He didn't look that much older than Isabella, maybe on ear two years. He had hazel eyes and was very handsome. He picked her up in his arms.

"You must be Isa's father. Come, I'll take you to her mother's, well now her's, house." He walked out still carrying my bambina. We all followed him. We got in Germany's car while he got in his own with Isabella and Sealand. We drove to a small house that had a tomato garden.

We went inside and it was like he knew his way around. He put my daughter in a room where opposite wall were green and red. The floor and ceiling were white. There were drawing and pictures and a whole bunch of other artistic things. He put Isabella into the bed and walked out. We went into the kitchen and he offered us coffee.

"Who are you?" I asked. He looked me straight in the eyes.

"Who am I? I'm..."

Oh snap! It's a cliffhanger! You have to review to find out who this mystery guy is. :)

*Translations*

"Mommy? Mommy are you okay?"

Hmm, sweetie? Baby, is that you?"

"Yeah mom, it's me. What happened to you?"

"I was gonna go visit you, but a car came so fast out of nowhere."

"But you're okay, right? You're gonna get better?"

"I don't know, sweetie."

"You can. You're strong. I know you can do this."

"Hola, Rosa."

"Feliciano. What are you doing here?"

"Our daughter."

(Crying with Japan and Germany)

"Hi mommy."

"Isabella, I want to tell you something. If something happens to me, everything is for you. The house, the car, everything."

"No, no don't talk like that! You're going to get better!"

"I don't think so. I can feel it's my time. I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you. Your father told me you adopted a little boy. Take care of him. I want to meet him."

"Yes, mommy."

(Rosa and Sealand talking)

"It's my time."

"Mommy! Don't leave me please!"

"Mom, don't leave me! What will I do without you!"

(her getting injected by a nurse)

"I love you, mother of mine."

(She passes out)
