"The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children."
Jessica Lange
While his 'father's' reaction was very amusing his 'mother's' was quite the opposite.
It was obvious that she noticed his hatred, but her reactions were confusing at best. Frustrating at worst.
She seemed to fully realize his not so infant like demeanor a few days after his 'father' left. From that point on the cooing and snuggling stopped completely. Along with the baby talk, toys and obnoxious clothing.
Instead, she spoke and generally treated him like an adult. She still took care of him like the infant he was, but the core interactions were worlds different.
It was very annoying.
He wanted her to get angry or upset. He wanted her to fear him and treat him with the respect he deserved.
But she didn't.
The softness in her eyes spoke volumes.
She loved him dearly even after recognizing he wasn't normal.
It was very frustrating.
When he had more control of his movements he would hit her whenever she came close enough. When he gain more strength, he would throw things at her. He turned up his nose at every little thing she bought for him. Showing his disdain for her in his acid green eyes.
She continued to smile.
She continued to love him absolutely.
It was so tiresome.
His only amusement came from his 'father's' visits and the human's attempts at ignoring him.
Eventually he grew tired of their interactions and started ignoring her completely. Working on trying to adjust to a human body with human needs. Despite his numerous attempts he could not reach the level of mobility the other child had and that irritated him to no end.
Nearly two years passed without much improvement.
Then, his annoying human 'mother' became pregnant again. The amount of fawning and general attention his 'father' gave her was entertaining at first, but very quickly became tiresome. Especially after he realized that he would have to deal with another human on a regular basis. A human child no less.
He cursed his abysmal luck.
I actually really like Nana. I don't know why, but her antics amuse me greatly. I feel like she would simply accept and love her child if placed in this situation. Not asking questions or getting upset, but loving him as he is. (Which is why the fact that she wasn't told of the mafia really bugged me in cannon)
Anyway, reviews.
Kasukimi~ Thanks for the review! Yeah, I felt kind-of bad writing that, but *shrugs* it fit the most for me. Well he won't be quite the same, but he will soften up. After all Tsuna and Nana are hard not to like. ^.^
Animeseris~ Thanks for reviewing! I hope you like it. :) And yes, Tsuna will be appearing.
Review and let me know what you think!
