When Mateo woke up he ran into his father's room to go wake Antonio and Lovina.
"Papá! Lovina! It's time to wake up!" Mateo shouted as he climbed on the bed.

"Good morning Mateo." Lovina slowly stretched and sat up in bed.
Antonio on the other hand continued to snore.

"Mateo, I have an idea on how we can wake up your father." Lovina whispered.
"How?" Mateo whispered back.
"By tickling him." Lovina responded.

The two silently crawled closer to Antonio and started to tickle him.
"Aaahahahhaaaaha! No!" Antonio woke up laughing and tried to squirm away from the tickling.

"You have to make us breakfast." Mateo stopped tickling his father.
"Alright, Auntie Bella left a recipe for waffles. How about those?" Antonio asked.
"Yay! Waffles!" Mateo cheered.

"Do you like waffles, Lovina?" Mateo asked.
"Um... I've never had waffles before." Lovina shrugged.
"You never had waffles?! You'll love them! I promise!" Mateo was shocked that it was possible for someone to have never had waffles. He had them at least every week and he was sure that Auntie Bella had them every day for every meal.

"Lovina do you want to play with me?" Mateo asked as Antonio groggily got out of bed to make breakfast.
"Sure." Lovina shrugged.

Lovina's jaw almost dropped, Mateo's room was packed with toys.
"Can we play with the dolls? They're my favourite." Mateo gestured to the giant Barbie doll house.

"Yeah, of co- um Mateo I have to go to the bathroom." With that Lovina ran to the bathroom. Her nausea had been going away. This must have been the final farewell week considering next week was the beginning of the second trimester.

"Lovina? Are you okay?" Mateo asked from the bathroom door frame with two dolls in his hands.
"Yeah, I'm okay." Lovina replied between vomiting.

"Are you sick?" Mateo asked, concerned.
"No, I'm okay, Mateo." Lovina got up, flushed the toilet and cleaned up.

Mateo gave her a big hug.
"It's a feel better hug, I give them to Papá when his sick."
"Thank you, Mateo. You know what I do feel better." Lovina smiled.

"So I was offered a teaching position at Hetalia High School." Lovina said as she piled waffle into her mouth.

"Wow, that's amazing congratulations." Antonio kissed Lovina's forehead.
"Kid in the room! Kid in the room!" Mateo shouted as he covered his eyes.
"I'm probably going to turn it down, so I don't see the big deal." Lovina shrugged.
"No, you should take it. I heard parents talking and apparently they're transferring a lot of teachers. The teachers that don't take the transfer are at risk of being fired. It's probably just a rumour but still." Antonio warned.
"I don't have to work, I chose to work. I'll check out their benefits and see if there's something I need." Lovina hinted. She didn't want to saw if they offered a longer maternity leave in front of Mateo.
"Yeah, that should be the most important thing." Antonio nodded, getting what Lovina was hinting at.

"So when are we going to Lovina's house! I'm excited!" Mateo jumped up and down.
"I'm ready." Lovina got up from her chair. She was still in the clothes Antonio lent her to sleep in.
"Alright, I'll go get dress." Antonio chuckled.

Antonio finally came back down stairs in one of his outfits.
"Papá? Why are you wearing that shirt?" Mateo curiously asked.
"I'm meeting Lovina's grandfather today." Antonio replied.
"Oh... okay!" Mateo smiled.

Lovina quickly pulled out her phone to text her family group chat that composed of Roma (N), Feliciana (F) and Rosaria (R)

L: I'm bringing my boyfriend home. Nonno don't hurt him! Also you get to meet his son too. He doesn't know about the baby so keep your mouths shut!
N: Alright my lips are sealed, but I make no promises. Does he know I used to be involved in the mafia?
F: Nonno?! You were involved in the scary mafia?!
N: no, don't worry Feli, it's just a little lie to scare your sister's boyfriend
R: Nonno stop stressing Lovina, stress isn't good for the baby
N: I'm so sorry bambina! I don't want to hurt your little bambino.
L: I'm also moving out
F: WHAT?!?!???!?!? Why sorella? Did I do something wrong?
F: T~T

Lovina turned her phone off to avoid the family freak out.
"Okay let's go." Lovina grabbed her purse and went to the car.

The car ride was felt a lot shorter than usual maybe it was because there was no traffic.

"Ciao, bambina. You must be the famous Antonio." Roma gave Antonio a deadly glare and held out his hand for Antonio to shake.
