*****************

After saving Italy, once again, from the Allies, Katrina and Rose were sitting in the living room. Rose was drawing a picture of Katrina, who begrudgingly agreed to sit still long enough for the portrait. "Are you almost done Rose?" Katrina questioned. "I've been sitting like this for an hour."

"Almost done Katrina~," Rose giggled. "Just stay like that for a few more minutes."

Katrina sighed. How did I get myself in this situation? Katrina thought as she tried to get her attention off her throbbing arms, since she was sitting with her arms holding up her head. She looked around the room and noticed the pictures that were on the end-table that was not too far away. The pictures were black and white and in a few of them there was a young woman standing next to a strong man. Both were smiling in the photos. A small smile came to Katrina's face. She liked to look at the few pictures her Father had of her Mother. Since Catherine died when Katrina was a little baby, she didn't remember anything about her Mother. All she could rely on were the rare stories her Father would tell her about her Mother and dreams where she caught glimpses of her in her dreams. In each story, Germany would make sure to reiterate on how she was beautiful, caring, and had the biggest heart.

What was strange was that Katrina had had a few strange dreams where she caught glimpses of her Mother and then heard what she assumed was her voice calling Katrina's name. Vhat are those dreams about? She thought.

"Katrina, I'm done," The 8-year old German was taken out of her thoughts by her friend, who was showing her the picture she had drawn. Katrina looked at the picture and saw that Rose had made it very realistic, except for the fact that she was smiling in the sketch. "What do you think?"

"...Vhy did you draw me smiling?" Katrina questioned.

"Because you were smiling~. You were looking over at those pictures and smiling."

A small blush began to form on Katrina's face. She hadn't realized that she was smiling.

"Why were you smiling at the pictures?" Rose asked her best friend.

Katrina sighed as she stood up and walked over to the table. Rose followed in her lead and went to the table. Katrina then picked up a picture and showed it to Rose; it was a picture of Germany and Catherine on their wedding day. "I vas just thinking about mein Mutti," Katrina explained. "Vati's told me stories about her."

"Wow," Rose gasped. "Your Mama is very pretty Katrina. I wish I had a picture of my Mama. All I have from her is the note she left with me when I was in the basket that Papa found me in. I've read the letter so many times that I have it memorized."

"..........Vhat's vorst; missing a Mother you knew, or missing a Mother you never knew?"

Rose looked at Katrina in confusion. "Why do you ask that?"

"No reason. Forget I said anything."

Poor Katrina, Rose thought. She misses her Mother so much.

Later that day, Katrina went to take a nap. Before she did fall into complete unconsciousness, she looked at the two pictures on her nightstand; one was of her Mother and Father when Catherine was pregnant with her, and the other was of her and Germany when she was 2-years old. It was sad that Catherine was not in both pictures.
