The trio, despite their reservations, took their kids to the park to play.
"Awwww the kids are having fun," America said.
"Maybe we should be parents," Mexico said.
"Mmmmmm Nah probably not," America said.
"Why not?" Mexico asked.
"I'm ok with babysitting... but raising kids? I'd definitely screw it up," America said. Mexico sighed.
"Yeah... maybe," Mexico said. Meanwhile the kids were having Canada play with them. Canada was having a great time, and loved the kids in a parental non creepy way. Suddenly, Arizona tripped and scraped his knee. He began crying, as kids do.
"Oh no, can kids go five seconds without getting hurt?!" America exclaimed. While America got out his emergency bandaids, Canada held Arizona and sang to him with his angelic voice. Maybe I like Canada a lot, I'm not even Canadian, what of it, are you gonna sue me? Here's a collective boop for any Canadians reading because I felt like it.
"Hey, this whole parenting thing isn't too bad, maybe if I ever get a wife I could be a dad someday," Canada said.
"Man... imagine if any of us got married," America said.
"That'd be weird... that's like... the next step to growing up," Mexico said.
"And then.... dare I say... getting a full time job?" America said. The trio shuddered at the thought. Once they got Arizona to stop crying, and Texas to stop beating up the pavement for hurting his friend, they went to get ice cream. America got strawberry, Canada got vanilla and Mexico got chocolate, because they're just cute like that. The kids got whatever they got, and they enjoyed what they got too. California looked up at Mexico and started pulling on his shirt to get his attention
"Meeeeeeexxxxx why do I hurt sometimes," California said.
"Reoccurring burns," Mexico said.
"Ohhhhhhhh Mexxxxxx why are you so tall," California asked.
"You're just short," Mexico said.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why is it cold out?" California asked.
"Why do you ask so many questions?" México asked.
"Oh," California said.
"....,"
"......I'm cold," California said. Mexico sighed and gave California his jacket.
"Ohhhh how does it feel," America said.
"Cold....," Mexico said. America nodded and gave Mexico his jacket. Suddenly, Netherlands walked into the shop and saw Canada surrounded by kids. Canada happily waved at him.
"Hi Neth!" Canada exclaimed.
"Since when were you a babysitter?" Netherlands asked.
"Oh, these are my brothers states, we just accidentally turned them into kids," Canada said. Suddenly, Canada got a text from Quebec.
Q: Canada, the store doesn't have the good popcorn
C: go to a different one!
Q: does it really matter?
C: My kids deserve the best!! Get the popcorn!!!!
Q: ok ok fine
"....anyway so yeah they aren't mine," Canada said. Netherlands nodded.
"Huh, ok... so they were adults but you turned them into kids? Is that.... legal?" Netherlands asked.
"Uhh.... is there a law against it?" Canada asked.
"Um.... I don't know actually," Netherlands said.
"Hmm... well, as far as I know this is 100% legal and I do not need to go to jail for the third or fourth time," Canada said.
"Wait what?"
Anyway, after they were done with their ice cream, the trio and their kids went home to be greeted by Quebec. Texas happily ran up to Quebec and hugged him, while the other kids ran around the house and did what kids do. After a while of hanging out, there was another knock at the door.
"Why do people keep visiting us?!" Mexico exclaimed, opening the door to find Baja California and Baja California Sur.
"Oh It's you two! Great timing! You're good at babysitting, right?" Mexico asked.
"Not particularly?" BCS said.
"I'd rather die than be in charge of children," BC said.
"Too bad," Mexico said, dragging them in the house. California saw them and gasped excitedly. He ran over and hugged his siblings, who looked confused.
"Why is he small now?" BC asked.
"Uhhh.... long story short.... aliens," México said.
"that explanation didn't help at all," BC said. Once they filled the two of the California triplets in on what happened, Canada got the living room all comfy, popped some popcorn, and sat the kids down to watch a movie. The kids were mesmerized by the mysterious box, and watched the movie with intensity. Meanwhile, Mexico and America were talking.
"It's so sweet... I already heard one state call you dad," Mexico said.
"You're really adamant about this whole 'kid' thing, but you don't like the taking care of them part, do you?" America said.
"What? Do you think I can't handle raising a few kids?" Mexico exclaimed.
"No! I'm just saying! You seem to like the idea more than the actual work! Kids are a big deal!" America exclaimed.
"You're just saying that because you wouldn't put in the effort if we had kids!" Mexico exclaimed.
"I would! Would you?!" America yelled.
"You're just selfish! Don't make this about me! You're the one who said you couldn't handle kids!" Mexico yelled.
"Guys!" BCS exclaimed, but Mexico and America wouldn't listen.
"SHUT YOUR STUPID BOCAS UP!" BC exclaimed. America and Mexico turned around to find that the kids were watching them fight with tears in their eyes. All at once, the kids started sobbing. America and Mexico wanted to help, but Canada just glared at them to tell them to go away. Mexico and America stepped outside with BCS.
"You two have serious issues," BCS said.
"I know... I know... I'm sorry Mex, I.... I didn't mean to say you don't have what it takes... it's just... parenting is a huge commitment that takes a lot of thought.... I just meant to slow down before we start thinking about that kind of thing," America said. Mexico sighed.
"I understand... I do like the idea of being a dad, but I realize there's more than just having kids... it's a really big deal that I shouldn't pressure you with," Mexico said.
"There! You can actually settle disputes like normal adults!" BCS exclaimed.
"Shocking," America said.
Meanwhile, Canada and Quebec were struggling to get the kids to stop crying.
"Baja, you can help," Canada spat. BC shrugged and stared California in the eyes.
"Shut up," BC said. California kept crying.
"Well, I did all I can do," BC said.
"Wow, thanks," Canada said. Suddenly, America and Mexico walked in the room and started playing music together. The kids silently wiped their tears and started to gather around them. Canada watched, smiling.
"Nada, would you say you'd want to be a father?" Quebec asked, sensing Canada's parenting joy.
"Oh, maybe...,"
