Chapter Nine:

        Romano, stayed in the room long enough that he ended up falling asleep in a chair he pulled up next to the baby's crib. Italy, of course, had come by to check on the two, but didn't bother them seeing as the two were asleep. So, he left the door open just a bit, and went to his own room. Spain had went to his and Romano's room, and everyone took a nap for a bit.

            Though, the peace didn't exactly last too long. Italia woke up some time after everyone had fallen asleep, and looked wildly around the room, her tiny heart racing, but relaxed somewhat when she noticed Romano sleeping on a chair beside her. She relashed his finger, and then stood up in her crib.

            "Ehh?"She cooed, putting her hands on the drop-down side of the crib.She looked around, and then pushed down, imating what she had seen Germany and Venezaino do many times. Though, she was smart enough to stay away from the edge, so when it dropped dwon she wouldn't fall. She turned her body on her stomach, and crawled down onto the ground. She looked up at Romano, who still was snoring away, giggled, and began walking away into another room. She walked all over the house, searching for nothing in particular, but leaving messes along the way.

            Soon enough, she came across Italy's study room. She took a quick look around, and then opened the door up more, and walked into the messy room.She sat in a corner, and played with the papers that surrounded her. She giggled as the papers crinkled, and then looked around the room some more for something new to play with. She walked over the papers she had crunched up, and picked up an old drawing. The paper was yellowed with age, and some of the paper had tiny rips in it, but, overall, the picture was in pretty good shape. her eyes scruntched up slightly as he stared at the pencile drawing, and then squealed happily.

            "Germany!"She yelled out in a high-pitched voice, hugging the picture to her chest.

            "GAAH!! WHERE THE HELL DID SHE GO?!!"Italia looked up when she heard Romano yell out. Italia tilted her head, sat the picture beside her, and then walked out of the study towards her room with a sneaky grin on her face. Romano poked his head out of her door, and looked frantically around. His face immdetaly dropped into a scowl when he saw her. He walked towards her angrily, and picked her up.

            "Hi!"She said with a smile. Romano looked at her, shocked for a moment that she spoke so clearly, but quickly got over it, and his anger returned.

            "Where the hell were you?!" Italia giggled, and shrugged. Romano felt some of his ealier irration towards the child come back. He was starting to remember why he didn't want kids at all...

            Romano sighed heavily, and shook his head as Italia began playing with his collar.

            "I see what my brother was talking about now. You’re delveoping alot faster than most babies, though I'm not surprised in the least bit. At least, I wouldn't be if my theory about your parents is right... Let's see what we can find you to eat."Romano said as he walked into the kitchen. Italia cooed as Romano sat her in her high chair, and then began searching through the cuppboards for something for them both to eat. Italia tilted her head slightly, and giggled while clapping her hands. Romano looked back at her, and smiled slightly."What the hell are you so happy about?"He asked as he turned his attention back to the food he was making. Italia looked over the edge of her high chair, and stared at the while tile benathe her. She grunted,and started moving around as if suddenly uncomfortable by the confinement of the high chair. Romano glanced back at her, and stared for a moment."What is your problem?"He asked as he put the meal in the oven to cook, and then wlaked over to her. He sat her right in the high chair."Don't move."Romano said sternly. Italia looked at him, and cooed slightly before babbling.
