I woke up quietly, rubbing my eyes and stretching my back, I look over to see if Spanish was awake yet and saw the bed was empty, which was unusual. I noticed our blanket was missing too, I peeked over our bed and saw Spanish on the ground with Yuman and Choctaw on the floor cuddling her. I smile and got up, stretching my soar back, grabbing a string from under my bed and putting my hair up. I stood up and heard a sound that made me jump, it was the sound of dishes being broken. 

"THEY DID IT!" I heard  two people scream. Great, I have to clean broken plates this morning. I walk out of my room and see Dakota and Lakota standing there arguing. I walk out of the room and pass my many kids talking to each other and saying their good mornings. "What in bigfoots  name are you two doing?" I asked, putting my hands on my hips, the two looked nervous and Lakota was staring at his foot that was bleeding. "Well.. I was making Acorn bread but Lakota snatched the plate from me and said we are making Berry pudding!" Dakota yelled, glaring at Lakota, who in returned stuck his tongue at Dakota.

"How about you make both, we have a pretty large kitchen, go use it. You know back in the days we cooked everything under a fire." I said, picking up a few things that dropped on the floor Lakota and Dakota rolled their eyes and picked up the broken plate.

I hear a groan and I knew by the groan it was America coming down the stairs, "Good morning Delawar-" She tried saying, before becoming quiet and sitting on a pillow on the ground. Blackfoot came up to her and offered her a cup of mint water, she took it and thanked Blackfoot who was now running after Pueblo for calling his mint water leaf water. Pueblo loved making fun of people, which was odd because she was the sweetest.

I sit down next to America and pick up a glass of water that was on the table, taking a sip of it "I might visit the states again, I really miss them..." America said, sighing and staring at me. "You know, I always imagined I would meet you again one day, I suspected when I got older, but its nice seeing you again." America chuckled, sipping her mint water. "I never left you, when you went through your civil war, I was right their, watching, tearing up." I said softly. America looked depressed then perked up. "I might find Carolina here!" She excitedly, I chuckled, if only she knew everyone one of her dead children were in this house. "She is here somewhere, along with the others." I laughed, her face of excitement she had from her childhood is still there.

She disappeared into the house and I was alone in the living room. I heard crashing from the stairs behind me and spun around, seeing Spanish groaning with Yuman on her back. "I'm up.." She groaned from the ground and while she stood up, Yuman sliding down her back giggling. "You done being a parent?" I asked her, rubbing the bruise on her head.

" I love my Marigolds, they are just to much work sometimes. Lakota and Dakota stayed up to 4 am in the morning fighting over breakfast. Breakfast!" Spanish groaned, she leaned over on me and causing me to fall all the way over from her weight. "Honey you are crushing me." I mumbled, patting her back. Spanish sighed and wrapped her arm around me, squeezing me in the act. "I guess not breathing is okay too." I muttered. "Mama- ewwww...." Apache said, looking at me and Spanish. "We could be making out, go get me water. " Spanish said, Apache shuttered and walked away, Ignoring Spanish. I heard giggling and looked over, it was America cradling her baby, Carolina. " Man you almost broke me when I was alive!" America giggled to Carolina. She looked at me and cringed.  "Why are you cuddling? Its weird.." She said. "I want to have cuddles!" Spanish hissed, Squeezing me tighter.  Adorable. I pushed Spanish off and watched her roll over on the ground, then getting tackled by kids.

"Mama. I'm going to go around this place and see what old countries I can find, do you want to join?" America asked, putting Carolina down and looking at me.  "I would love to go, I'm going to get dressed, you stay here" I replied, walking up the stairs and into my room.

Me and America were walking down the street when I stumbled into someone "I'm so sorry! Here let me- Oh its you." I said, rolling my eyes and standing up. " Russian Empire!" America said excitedly, jumping up and down and hugging him. " America! Its the RUSSIAN EMPIRE!" I said, pulling her off of him. " Yea! He gave me your wedding ring during my revolution! And helped inspired my Declaration of Independents!" America explained smiling. "Do you know what he ALSO did, he kidnaped your brother, drove him insane, and brainwashed him!" I snarled, pointing my finger at him. "N.A-" "Told you not to call me that" "Whatever, the past is the past, lets focus on our future!" He explained, This man is trying so hard but is failing. "If you think its all water under the bridge now! Your wrong, just go before I get Spanish, you now what happened last time." I explained, smirking at his worried reaction. "Fine! Bye America, Bye N.A." He said walking off. " I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT!" I yelled back, America placed her hand on my shoulder and we continued walking, enjoying the sights and meeting the different people.
