A/N: I'm back! Okay so here's the last chapter until the epilogue! I've had a lot of fun writing this and it's my first longer finished story on Fanfiction that i have completed. I'm so excited to finally end it and get back to my other story 'the raft to which i cling' which hasn't had any updates in a while but i've been wanting to finish this one first! So here you go!

just so you know i have no idea what would actually happen in a situation like this i thought about looking it up but it's different in each state and everything and i personally just didn't want to. usually i'm all for keeping it as real as possible but I just decided to go with my own approach and so you have this train wreck.

Thank you to all of my beautiful wonderful people that reviewed! you don't even know how thankful i am for them! *Hug* Thank you thank you thank you thank you!

Disclaimer (though seriously if you haven't seen the ones before i would question your mental health): i don't own hetalia

(just so you know i have plans to rewrite the earlier chapters i already did the prologue but if you got past the horrible beginning that you for still reading. i know i have bad grammar and i'm not super good at writing yet you still want to read and i'm so thankful for that.)

As soon as I pushed open the door my courage seemed to dry up but not completely as I held Ludwig's hand in my own. All eyes were turned on me as I look around and I could feel my heart clench as I saw the brown haired boy that I had seen on the news.

Romano.

Romano.

Romano!

My heart seemed to cry out but my throat couldn't seem to make the noises. All we could do was stare at each other. Vaguely in the back of my head I could hear one of the cops asking what I needed and Ludwig responding as he clenched my hand tighter. But that didn't matter right now. For the first time in what seemed like forever I was seeing Romano. He stood up and I couldn't stop myself my legs seemed to rush out from under me and threw my arms around him my hand released from Ludwig's which made me a bit sad but truthfully I didn't care right now.

"I missed you." I heard him whisper in my hair as I cried and I could hear the commotion of the cops wondering what the heck was going on. But as it always seemed to do Reality came crashing back and I let go of him wiping away my tears and finding Ludwig who was argueing with the cop.

"That's his brother! You can at least let him talk to him!" I came up from behind him tapping him on the shoulder.

"It's okay Ludwig I'm okay now." I said with a small content smile on my lips and he turned to me.

"Did you just say Ludwig?" The silver haired boy next to Romano said standing up. Quickly Ludwig turned around to face the boy I could see his eyes widen.

"Gilbert?" he asked almost heartbreakingly hopefully. And the silver haired teen hugged him lifting him off the ground. I smiled laughing. It was kind of funny and very, very amazing. Just to think two boys from the orphanage knew each other and two boy's brothers also knew each other and were both hunting for each other.

After the heart touching reunions though they sat us down and asked for the complete story. We gave our story, and I could see Romano's fist clenching form anger. Gilbert was angry as well but he was better at hiding it but the hate in his eyes couldn't be controlled I wondered if that was where Ludwig had learned to cover up his emotions like he does.
The police sat in a chair next to us scribbling notes on his note pad. The first time he asked what people looked like I asked for a pencil and paper and drew them. They were amazed at my drawing and I drew the people and events that they wanted me to draw. Romano then told them his story. And I sat in awe of everything that he had done.

The police had then gone out to go arrest Mrs. Kensal and that's about where we are now.

Line

I talked to Romano about anything and everything that came to mind and got to know the other two people with him. I liked Winnie she reminded me of Camilla and Matthew as nice though Gilbert seemed protective over him. And In turn I told them about Makayla, Camilla, and Arthur. Drawing their faces on paper and showing them. Winnie kept asking about my drawing's and 'how in the world do you draw so well!'. Gilbert and Ludwig talked to each other for a while before joining the conversation.

Matthew told us about his brother Alfred who was annoying apparently and Romano doesn't really like.

Even though the talking was fun and I was happy I was still worried. What if the charges against Mrs. Kensal didn't stick and she was freed and we had to be returned to her. Apparently they were also investigating the family that Romano stayed with. Romano also told me about Carson and his two kids named Vash and Lilli, and their new child who would be named Celio. And Romano had named him.

An hour later they appeared with Mrs. Kensal handcuffed and led her to one of the rooms in the back. I couldn't look her in the eye.

We sat there for a while longer. Until Winnie's parent's came and picked her up practically dragging her out the door while they yelled at her through their tears.

A man and a women with a boy walked in and Matthew perked up I knew that he would leave as well.

"Do you know how worried we were!?" Matthew's mom said crying and hugging him while his dad just stood off to the side.

"Your mother was worried sick!" His father barked at him and I could see Matthew begin to cry. Right before his mom pulled him away Gilbert stood up and ran over to him and hugged him then in front of everyone.

Kissed him.

Then he hugged him again whispering something in his hair before sitting down again and his mom pulling him away as Matthew stood shell shocked at Gilbert staring at him the whole way back to the car.

"I though you liked Winnie?!" Romano asked surprised at Gilbert as soon as the door closed behind them and Gilbert laughed.

"Well you interpreted that wrong." He said laughing as Romano pouted next to him, not that he would admit it.

We ended up staying in the police station the night as they made arrangements for us. Early that evening they found Camilla, Arthur, and Makayla and they were now with us in the station. Gilbert had liked playing with Makayla. Not the comfiest place to sleep but I was so emotionally and physically exhausted I fell asleep with no complaints.

I woke up to a hand shaking me. Rubbing my eyes I sat up blurrily I could see the other five doing the same.

"You guys are getting sent to another orphanage so get up." Gilbert had refused to be separated from his brother and his adoptive parents had refused to adopt Ludwig. Therefore he is staying with us. And Makayla had to stay with Camilla at least because she had refused to be separated from her and when they had tried to remove Makayla from her Makayla threw such a fit that they gave her back to Camilla. But I couldn't believe it. In front of me was a woman that I knew.

"Nice to see you guys again." She says.

"Elizabeta!" I cry hugging her she laughs. And Camilla, Ludwig, Gilbert, and Arthur hug her each in turn as well while Romano stands off to the side not quite wanting the attention but she hugs him anyway much to our amusement.

"It's nice to see you as well Feliciano."

She leads us to the car where she talks about the kids at the orphanage and I sit next to Ludwig with my hand in his and Romano on my other side.

Just like it should be.
