Hetalia Cursed

"Daddy!" Ludwig heard the squeal and felt the extra weight plop onto his stomache. He jolted up to see the inocent blue eyes of Amelia, the second oldest adopted daughter of his and Feliciano's. She smiled sweetly and kissed Ludwig's cheek, then kissed Feli's cheek.

"Moma," She shook Feli a bit. "Time to get up!"

Ludwig always got curious about why the girls would rough-house with him, but acted so sweet with Feli.

"Hm? Ve?" Feli woke and looked at Amelia. "Morning, Amelia."

"Morning, Moma!" Amelia squealed, sliding off the bed. "Guess what Bridget, Candace, and I did!"

"Make anuder mess?" Ludwig grumbled. He had thought the three girls would have been a piece of cake to raise. But he had been wrong. The three girls were a large handful that the two men alone couldn't take care of.

Arthur always came over at the same time everyday to help with the girls. He was able to handle them all by himself when Ludwig and Feli were at work, something that was still mysterious to Ludwig.

"Luddy!" Feli giggled. He smiled at Ludwig. "I'm sure they wouldn't do that before we woke!"

"You'd be surprised." Ludwig muttered.

Amelia led both adults to the dining room. Bridget was setting plates of delicious looking food on the table.

"Moma! Daddy!" Bridget squealed, running over and pulling on Ludwig's hand. She and Amelia led them to the table and seated them.

"Ve?" "Vhat's all zis?" The two men looked at each other in confusion. The girls never did this sort of thing.

"We just wanted to make you a special breakfast!" Amelia told them, a large smile spread across her face.

"Alright." Ludwig glared at the two girls. "Vhat did ya do zis time? And vhere's your sister?"

"Here I am!" The youngest, Candace, called out as she raced out of the kitchen with a coffee mug. "Here's your coffee, Papa!" Candace smiled sweetly as she handed Ludwig the mug, filled almost full of coffee, made just how Ludwig liked it.

"Seriously." Ludwig sipped his coffee and glared at the three girls. "You must have done something horrible to be acting so nice to us."

"But, Papa. We wouldn't do anything bad on yours and Mama's aniversary!" Candace handed Ludwig a note written in crayon. It had the day's date and 'Mama and Papa's aniversary' on it.

"Awww! How sweet!" Feli gushed about the girls being nice for their adopted parents' wedding aniversary.

"Yeah. Real sweet." Ludwig looked down at his breakfast. The eggs were placed on the plate in the shape of a heart and the sausage made a smiley face on top of the eggs.

"Do you like it, Papa?" Candace looked up at Ludwig. Ludwig looked at her and smiled.

"Sweety, it's perfect." He lifted her up and placed her in his lap. "Vill you help Papa eat it?"

"Okay." Candace spoke shyly, she was the quietest of the bunch, and Ludwig liked her the most because of it.

After breakfast, Feli had gone to the bathroom. When he came out, Ludwig had already gone to work. Feli had the day off after what had happened the previous morning and his boss finding out that he'd been turned into a girl.

Romano wasn't going to be happy when he got to work today. Their boss had told Feli yesterday that he should take the next few days off and his brother would do his work. Feli had slipped a note onto Romano's desk before he left that will tell Romano to bring him his work since their boss wouldn't let him bring it home the previous day.

"Moma?" Bridget looked up at Feli. "Are you alright? You don't look good."

"I-I'm fine, Bridget." Feli reassured the oldest child as he went and sat down on the couch.

"No, you're not." Bridget shook her head and looked worriedly at Feli. "I found something when I went to the bathroom right after you came out." Bridget held up the little gadget Feli had used in the bathroom to check something.

"I-I thought I got rid of that!"

"It was in the trash. On top, actually." Bridget placed it on the table and looked back at Feli. "You haven't told Dad, have you?"

"No. He'd be furious."

"Why? It's not fully your fault! It takes two to make a child."

"I haven't told him about being stuck as a girl."

"Oh."

"You girls can't tell him either!"

"Why not? Moma, you're going to have a baby! Isn't that great! Maybe Dad will like the child! Then Candace won't be his only favorite!"

"Bridget, Ludwig cares for all of you equally. He just has an easier time with quiet, gentle children who don't jump on him."

"Oh. Oops. Sorry." Bridget appologized. Then she winked at Feli with a smile. "Don't worry, Moma. This will be our little secret!"
