Summery: Mei, Marylyn, and Madeline get to meet their new doctor who by the way is a little interesting.

Chapter 3: A visit to the Doctor

Mei, Marylyn, and Madeline walked down the hall to their new doctor with their mother China holding their hands. Normally the girls would be examined by one of their parent's doctors but America and China decided that the girls should have their own doctor. Their doctor was a young woman by the name of Dr. Volk. They didn't know a lot about her but they know that she was sworn to secrecy about their identities and by observation that she was married. The building was mostly empty but there were a few nurses and doctors bustling around (not to mention that the Secret Service was secretly watching their every move). Dr. Volk's office was in the back of the building. China took a deep and knocked lightly on the door. Not even in a split second passed a young woman opened the door. She was slightly taller than China, pale, had deep blue eyes, and hair that was like a summer sun set. No really, the roots were gold and it gradually turned red as it reached the tips. Also this woman's hair was really short, like a bob cut but with a little more spunk to it. She wore regular blue jeans, a button down shirt, and a lab coat (of course). She smiled at them brightly.

"Hello, I'm assuming you're the Wang-Jones family?" she giggled a little after it.

China blushed a little, but nodded. "Uh…xie, that's us."

Dr. Volk nodded and let them in and closed the door. "I'm not sure if you've been told but I know that you're the nation of China." She looked down at Mei, Madeline, and Marylyn. "And these cute girls are yours and America's, right?"

Again, China blushed a little, but nodded.

This huge smile came across Dr. Volk's family. "I'm sorry if I'm being rude but I'm a HUGE fan!"

China barely had time to think before Dr. Volk took his hands in hers. "I can't believe I'm actually meeting you face to face, in my office! Oh my god this is so exciting! I knew you guys were real!" a smug look came over her face. "I told him but NOOOO~, daddy just has to be so pessimistic and anti-cultural that he won't even consider-." She stopped herself short in a freezing motion. She stayed like that for a moment before she relaxed and brushed herself down. "How unprofessional of me, sorry. When I get hyped up I tend to talk really fast." She laughed nervously and rubbed the back of her neck embarrassed. "I mean….I'm not sure if your daughters know about the anime Hetalia."

All three girls perked up. "We love Hetalia!" Mei said.

China being the observant mother that he is sat down in a chair and began flipping through magazines (these types of conversations take a while to resolve, he learned that the first time). Both Dr. Volk and the girls talked ecstatically about their favorite anime. As it turns out when Dr. Volk heard that they needed a doctor she recognized their mommy's and daddy's names and jumped for the job. Of course she was sworn to secrecy but really the government didn't have to tell her anything. She knew all about the nations (and then some)! They talked and talked for about 15 minutes or so about yaoi and other things when Dr. Volk said that they better hurry up with the check-up so that they can get home soon. She was just about finished when the phone rang. Sighing, she pressed a button and a lady was on speaker.

"Dr. Volk, you have a call on line 3 from a…Elizabeta Volk."

Dr. Volk's eyes lit up slightly. "Put her through." She said rather hastily. The line was silent before a small voice of a little girl came through.

"Mutti?"

Dr. Volk smiled, forgetting where she was. "Hi baby, how are you?"

"I miss you mutti."

Dr. Volk laughed slightly. "I miss you too baby, I just need to…" that was when she realized that she had patients in the room staring at her. She gulped a little and in a whisper she asked. "Could I have a few minutes?"

Mei, Madeline, and Marylyn weren't exactly sure what their mommy would say but surprisingly China smiled and nodded. Dr. Volk picked up the phone and began talking to the girl on the other line. Quietly, Marylyn walked over to her mother.

"Mama, who is she talking to?" she asked in a hushed voice.

China blinked and looked down at her. At first Marylyn thought that she would be scolded for being rude, but actually China smiled. "She's talking to her daughter."

Marylyn blinked confused. "How do you know?"

China laughed lightly and put a hand on her head. "I have three of my own, don't I?"

Marylyn giggled and nodded. Once Dr. Volk put the phone down Marylyn hurried and joined her sisters on the other side of the room. Once they had finished Dr. Volk told China that he would have to go down to the front desk and fill out a few things, and not to worry. The nurses had been told not to go through any of her files. The girls rushed down the hall to get some lolly pops, so china took this opportunity to ask.

"Dr. Volk?"

"Hm?"

China hesitated before asking. "Um….are you German by any chance?"

Dr. Volk looked confused. "Uh… a little, why?"

Believe it or not China knew what she meant by "a little". It seemed that almost every American had mixed blood. "Well…your daughter called you Mutti, and if I'm not mistaken, Mutti means "mom" in German."

"Ah, yes she did call me mutti. I and my husband aren't German like that, it's actually an interesting story. Would you like to hear?"

China nodded. "We might as well get to know each other better seeing hoe we are going to see each other more often."

Dr. Volk smiled. "Well, I and my husband…aren't able to have children as easy as other couples. So we decided to adopt. We went to an orphanage and when I saw her I fell in love. She was only 18 months at the time, very sad story. Her parents immigrated here (America) just before she was born. They don't have a lot of information about them but when she was just 3 months old they both died in a car crash. None of her relatives wanted her, so she was taken to an orphanage. She didn't have a name that they knew of, so I named her Elizabeta."

"How old is she now?" China asked.

"About 5 and she's the light of my world. We just have this connection….its almost like I carried her myself, you know?"

China smiled and nodded. They both said their goodbyes and China walked to the front of the building where his 3 little girls were waiting for him. He couldn't help but feel that they had this suspicious look on their face, like they were committing a crime. When they got the car, the triplets opened their sleeves and pockets to reveal tons of lolly pops! China just smiled and rolled his eyes.

"You learned that from daddy teaching you how to play poker didn't you?"

And they left the doctors office.
