Entry 17

It has been a few days since I had my kids, and today we were finally able to take them home. I was relieved to take them home, especially Fritz since they kept on wanting to run tests on him.

On the day after I had them, Dr. Martin had come in and explained what exactly was wrong with him. He retold us that his health problems were from a gene mutating when it was copied, then told us that because of the mutation we would need to continue to be extremely careful with him. Because he would not have come to term under normal circumstances, they don't really know how much the mutation will affect him; so we were told to expect anything ranging from only slight health problems to sudden fatality. I'm really hoping it's not the later.

Even though he's well enough to be brought home, the doctor still wants us to bring him in every other week. Apparently, they want to see if a gene therapy would have any positive effects. Prussia and I agreed to this, after all the doctor did seem hopeful that it would help.

Another thing that I've been worrying about when it comes to Fritz's sickness is how Regina is going to take all of this. Just from how it's sounding, Fritz is going to need a lot of attention throughout his entire life. It'll be easy at times to take our attention off of her and spend it on her brother. What if she begins to resent her brother and the rest of us because of that? what if it causes her to feel like we don't love her? I know how that feels; I'd never want her to feel that way too. Needles to say, I'm happy that Prussia's here to help me with them.

I was thinking about all of this while the two of us watched them sleep in their nursery. I thought before that the nursery was complete, but now with the two of them fast asleep, all safe in warm, I now know that it truly is complete.

Regina began to stir as we looked at them, so I picked her up and began to rock her. She fell right back asleep, only to be re-awoken with her brother when someone began to knock on the door. Judging correctly from how loud it was; America had come over to see his niece and nephew. By now, Regina was crying and Fritz was looking at me like he was about to cry. So while I comforted the two of them, Prussia went to get the door and promptly tell the American to shut up.

He did so, and soon they joined the three of us in the nursery. As they walked in, I saw that America had come bringing another bag of gifts. I do wonder sometimes where he finds the money to get all of this. He then said that they were from Papa, who was also going to come until something came up. It's kind of funny how the two of them and England constantly want to be with the kids. I guess they just like to dote over little kids.

In the bag were some more clothes, this time matching outfits that had a rabbit-eared hoodie. There was also a new blanket and a new book of fairy tales. I should remember to thank Papa for all of the gifts next time I see him.

America then asked us if we were planning on going to the world meeting next month. I wasn't planning on it since the kids would only be a month old and I didn't want to leave them alone at that young an age. When I told this to America he gave me a weird look and said, "Well dude, I wasn't thinking you'd leave them. When I said you guys I meant all four of you."

I said that that probably wouldn't work out so well, and who was to say that the host country would want them there? To this America smiled and said that Papa was working that out right now. Well if that's the case then the two of them may be stuck coming with us.

America stayed over for a couple hours, and spent the last half of the time playing with the two kids after his loud voice woke them up. I have to admit that he is pretty good with them. When he left, things again got quiet and stayed that way for the rest of the day.
