~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**That**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ten years before. Freshman Romano and Senior Antonio.
Antonio continued observing the videos throughout the entire night. Movement by movement, second by second, his eyes never left the screen. He processed each of Romano's actions into his mind, memorizing all the luscious details of the hotheaded Italian.
Most would consider it illegal for someone to violate another in such an obscene manner, but Antonio didn't care. His morals rarely mirrored those of society, and he didn't see a reason to start faking it now. So he continued watching them, falling in love with Romano all over again among the indecent images before him. Nothing his beloved could do would ever make him any less beautiful. Absolutely nothing.

"Here we are." Dr. Honda stated, breaking the Spaniard's thoughts.
The Japanese man turned the knob of the door before them, and signaled for the other men to follow. Before them were cradles draped in blue and pink blankets. Among each corner were animal plushies that ranged in sizes greeting them with unwavering smiles. Several playmates filled with colorful toys resided among the spaced out area that must have been deemed a live-in playroom, a single rocker laying close to them. Towards the end of the room was a diaper station littered with powders, diapers, and lotions.
They definitely know what they are doing, Romano praised.
"Now, the children are now asleep due to a nontoxic chemical we have issued them before your arrival. We do not want them to become spooked so needlessly, so your child will not awake for another two hours. I hope that will not be too troublesome for you." Dr. Honda said as he looked through the folders clipped at the end of each crib.
"No troubles, Dr. Honda. I'm sure Romano would enjoy spending the entire car ride watching her sleep." Antonio smiled.
Nodding sheepishly, Romano remained silent.
"Now let's see. I need a final verification from you, Mr. Carriedo and Mrs. Vargas, that you understand that this child has special needs that must be upheld with the utmost care. Although intelligent, her needs prevent her from becoming a functioning adult, and she will depend on you both from now on. If you two understand, then please sign on this line." Dr. Honda handed them the clipboard from a crib, and both of them immediately signed.
"Congratulations, you are now the rightful parents to this little girl." Dr. Honda smiled, clipping the clipboard back into place. Rounding the side of the crib, he dropped the side of the crib, and cradled the blanketed bundle within his arms. Walking towards the couple, he carefully handed the baby into Romano's awaiting arms. Watching the scene before him, he couldn't help but find himself a bit joyful.
Romano was holding this precious beauty, rocking her as he watched her slumber. Antonio kept a prideful arm around the Italian's waist, bringing him closer to get a better look at their child. Their child, Antonio realized as tears began forming within his eyes.
Their family was finally complete. It all seemed almost too surreal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**Half**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ten years before. Freshman Romano and Senior Antonio.
The very next morning Antonio felt strangely refreshed from the night's activities. Tucking the videos away under a loose piece of flooring, he quickly showered and dressed for school. Deciding that a nice car ride with Romano would be perfect, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed the number.
Romano, just about to run out the door before the school bus zoomed by, felt the vibrations of his cell phone through his pants. Frantically pulling it out he gave a harsh "hello", and immediately felt stupid for not checking his caller ID.
Antonio chuckled at the hotheaded beauty, and asked him if he would like to ride with him to school. Considering his options of hearing his parents ongoing complaints about him missing the school bus again or riding with the handsome Spaniard, he told the Antonio he would go. "I'm only going for your own good, idiota. Without me, who knows if you would ever get to school on time." Romano huffed, still a bit embarrassed by his rough greeting.
"Nuh, uh, uh Lovino. I'm not the one with the record." the Spaniard scolded gently.
Embarrassed and angry the Italian hung up the phone, and fumed on the steps for Antonio's arrival. While doing so he couldn't help but wonder how the bastard knew so much about him. Yeah, Antonio had told him that Feliciano had spilled a lot about him, but Feli didn't pay too much attention to anyone but himself. So, how could he possibly know about his mounting tardies? Perhaps he was attentive, that must have been it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**The Truth**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That Was Only Half The Truth.
A/N: I'm having a hard time figuring out the baby's name, so if you have a suggestion please let me know. Not even sure on her ethnicity yet either. I'm just full of indecisions..
