"She'll be fine. Son, just make sure she rest for a few days." The doctor said. "If she gets worse call me immediately. But for now keep her hydrated and comfortable." He told Friedrich and the Captain who both nodded. As the younger man went to go comfort his fiancée.
"So how are you holding up George, if I remember correctly you were always quite anxious with a arrival of a child." the doctor said smiled.
"I am doing just fine, after eight children I think I have gotten used to it." George said smiling.

Louisa sat in her room, brushing her hair out. She was of think how to wear it for Friday. Maybe just a ponytail, or headband. That would seem to juvenile Louisa told herself.
Louisa sighed and changed into her nightgown. "Brigitta?" she whispered to her sleeping sister.
"what?" the lump on the bed mumbled and moved somewhat.
"I think I'm in love." Louisa said falling onto her bed in a dramatic heap. "He's so! handsome, and intelligent, interesting!"
"Stop talking in such italics!" Brigitta said. "And let me sleep!"
"Oh fine Brigitte." Louisa pouted and then smiled thinking of Avery, with his mousy blond hair, and gray eyes before falling asleep.

Avery walked up the drive to the Villa. He forgotten to ask what time he should pick her up. The maid had directed him to the terrace where the family was outside.
As he came closer he saw younger children running around laughing and shrieking. A toddler playing on a blanket. He assume that was Lucas Louisa's youngest and half sibling.
Her father was talking to his wife, who seem undoubtedly pregnant. Then he saw a young girl, talking in swiss with a boy, she was also pregnant and by the looks of it the boy was the father.
Then he spotted Louisa, running around in dungaree's and a tee shirt.
He noticed after a moment the Captain was looking at him.
"Sorry for disturbing your family, Sir. But I realized yesterday that I never gave your daughter Louisa, a way to get in contact with me for about Friday." Avery said.
Georg looked at his wife, who had a play nice look on her face.
"And your name is?" Georg asked.
"Avery Simons, Sir. I am a student at the University." Avery said with his palm sweating.
"Do you who I am Avery Simons?" Georg said grinning inside his mind. He noted the boy's nervousness as soon as he spoke up.
"Captain Georg Ritter Von Trap, Sir." Avery said.
"Oh Georg be nice to the young man. I'm Maria, Louisa's mother." Maria said getting up with some difficulty.
"Its alright you can stay seated." Avery said in a hurry and went over to her to shake her hand.
Louisa stopped in the middle of the game her and sibling were playing. She fell to the ground at the impact of the ball hitting her full force. She shrieked before getting up. "Your going to pay for that Kurt Hedwig!" she yelled and went after her brother. Before reminding her crush was here. She stopped short once more, she didn't want to act like a child around him.
She walked up the steps.
"Avery! What are you doing here?" She asked, self consciously patting her hair down and pushed back the two long pigs tails.
"I realized after going back to my place, I never gave you a way, for you to tell me you answer." Avery said taking in the sight of her. Her cheeks flushed from the running and galloping around, her hair oddly misplaced but still to him it looked perfect, and her eyes! Oh they danced around on there own somehow from the excitement. What was this girl doing to him!
"I can go." Louisa said, stealing a glance at her father, who ended up just shrugging and nodded.
"Hey come play with us!" Kurt shouted coming there way.
"Avery this is my brother Kurt, Kurt meet Avery Simons." Louisa said.
"Nice to meet you." Kurt said shaking the boys. No mans hand, Kurt decided. "so want to join in a game of some football?"
"Go join them Avery, you can even join us for supper." Maria said grinning ear to ear, at her husband bewilder look of shock. Louisa's look of joy.
"I wouldn't be inconveniencing you, Lady Von Trap?" Avery asked.
"Of course not! And call me Maria everyone else does." Maria said smiling.
"Alright then." Avery said and took of his jacket and sweater vest. And followed Louisa and Kurt. He tried not to focus on Louisa in her dungaree's, as he walked behind her.
"Why did just do that!" Georg looked at wife.
"Well it a good way to get to know him wouldn't you say." Maria said.
"He's to old for her!" George said.
"You know Father, I feel left out you were never this protective with Fabian and I." Liesl said smiling. As Fabian joined the game, and introduced himself to Avery.
"Fabian is a totally different matter, and you the same age not six years older then yourself." George said to his daughter.
"Okay what about you and mother." Liesl said looking at him.
Georg look at his daughter, she was totally right. Maria was seventeen years his junior. I'm totally taking a guess, I say she was 20 in the movie. George maybe around 37
"Still not the point times are changing." Georg said.
"Times not changing that fast." Liesl said under her breath.

"So Avery what exactly are you taking at the University?" Georg asked. All the men were sitting in the study. The captain was smoking his pipe.
"English and History," Avery said. "My father wished for me to go into science or something within that."
"And who is your father?" George asked curiously.
"Robert Simons I'm originally from Canada. But I feel in love with this country when I ended up here because of the war." Avery said.
"You were a solider?" Kurt asked asked.
"Yes, my band never made it to the front though." Avery said.
"Do you have a job?" Friedrich looked at him.
"I'm currently working at a bookstore Friedrich. I make enough to live off at the moment. I know I am few years older then your daughter Sir, and that you probably do not like me. But I would never put her life in any danger or consequence." Avery said bravely.
"Very well. You surprise me." Georg said. "Have her home before 10:30, if I hear one word of you being less of a gentleman, I will find you and hurt you, and make it look like a mere accident, and believe me i can." Georg said.
Avery just nodded.
"Alright lets go find the women and have some dessert." George said and the men walked out of the study like nothing happened.
"You should hear Louisa sing!" Gretl said.
"Oh no! I am not going to sing solo!" Louisa said frightened at the aspect of singing by herself.
"Then sing Edelweiss with father then." Kurt said.
So Louisa sang and to Avery it was the most beautiful sound in the world.
'Edelweiss, edelweiss,
every morning you greet me.
Small and white, clean and bright,
you look happy to meet me.
Blossom of snow, may you bloom and grow,
bloom and grow forever.
Edelweiss, edelweiss,
bless my homeland forever.'
Louisa finished with a soft blush on her face. The stuck nine in the evening.
"I'll walk you to the door." Louisa said to Avery. Who nodded since it was getting late.
Maria blocked her brothers from following.
They stood outside for a moment or to.
"So my father and brother interrogated you?" she asked lightly.
"A bit nothing I couldn't handle. So I'll see you tomorrow at seven?" Avery said softly. He watched Louisa look up at him her face light up by moonlight and she nodded.
They didn't know it would happen. But even as small as a kiss it was, it sent sparks everywhere. It started as soon as it ended and innocent little kiss. Avery smiled and nodded caressing her cheek with his hand for a split second and then let drop and walked down the steps.
Louisa waited till he round the corner of the gate and went back inside. A small smile on her face. Maria gave a knowing nod as her adoptive daughter walked to her bedroom.
