Australia's new beginning

2: The Call

(Great Britain POV:)

"AMERICA!!" I scream at the top of my lungs. America is running around chasing Canada with a water gun inside the house! He's getting water all over the walls. America stops running and looks at me and then back down at the water gun and slowly puts it behind his back "Hehe whoops?"

I look at him unimpressed and pinched the bridge of my nose and mumble "I don't know how France puts up with you sometimes" I then look at Canada that is pretty soaking wet because America has pretty good aim. I then look at the water dripping down the walls 'well mostly has good aim' I thought and then looked back down at the two boys and sigh.

"America how old are you now?" He looks at me confused but answers none the less. "Uhh 12 years old now?" I then look at Canada who's dripping all over the carpet by now "and Canada I have the same question for you. How old are you now?" He also looks confused by the question but also answers "I'm 11 now?" I then take a deep breath in and exhale out. "So you are both older then 10 now correct?" They both nod there heads. Then America pipes up and says "well yes 11 and 12 come-" "CORRECT?" I raise my voice starring at them.

They both went quite and nodded there heads again. "Then you should both be old enough to know not to play with water guns inside!! Am I wrong!!" They both gave me a face that looked like 'we messed' which they did! "Yes dad!" America and Canada said at the same time. I then gave a groan "how does France do this! I can barley keep both of you from destroying something for five minutes! I don't eve-" I was cut short well my phone started ringing.

I picked it up and didn't recognise the number. I sigh thinking it was work again. The last time I took a work call is when they found the damn water guns! "Both of you stay out of trouble. You hear me? Nothing must be broken or wet! When I get back from this call! Do you understand?" They both nodded and slowly backed away from me.

I quickly answer the call and put it to my ear. "Good afternoon Great Britain speaking" I could hear rustling of some papers being moved around in the background before I hear someone answer."Ah! Hello Mr Great Britain, I'm Mr India, from the orphanage, do you have a moment to talk?" Well that is not what I was expecting at all. I look at the to boys that are now sitting on the couch looking at me, I put a V-sign toward my eyes and then back at them, basically saying I'm watching you. They both put there hands up in surrender, before I turn around and walk into my office and close the door behind me.

"Sorry I took a while to reply. Yes I do have a moment to talk." I then hear screaming glee of children in the background and kids giggling as well. He must be at the orphanage right now I guess?

"Excellent! So I wanted to talk to you about to contract that's here saying 'if there's a kid that comes to the orphanage with a special personality, and would already fit in with my other two kids would you please give me a call?' Do you remember this contract?" The man I now know is called India said.

"I do remember this contract I signed it 2 years ago. Why is something wrong with it? " I asked
The man laughs and then reply's "no everything is fine with the contract Mr Britain. There is actually a kid here that came in recently that I think would fit in great with your family!"

My eyes widen in surprise, "oh! That's excellent news, how recently did they come in may I ask?"
There's more suffering of papers before the man on the other end answers. "About a week and a half ago." That is very recent i thought.

"Is there a chance I could come in and meet them sometime soon?" I ask "of course sir! But I need to ask you one more question ." He said

"Of course" I say cheerfully. "May I ask why you want to adopt a child? It's not a bad thing at all! it's an amazing thing what your doing, I'm just curious is all to as your reason?" He asks

"Well you see, My wife and I have already had two children ones 12 and the other one is 11, we decided a couple years back that we wanted to have a third kid, but we realised that we don't have enough time to take care of a baby all night and day, because I work 6 days a week all at work while France my wife works 4 days at work and works 2 days at home. But even with us being busy we still want a third kid, so we decided to adopt, but we wanted to wait for the right kid. That's why we signed the contract in the first place." I say looking out the window.

The man on the other side of the phone hummed in understanding, "okay. Well mr Great Britain everything seems to be checking out! Would you like too possibly  come in this afternoon and come meet him?" He asks. I look at the time thinking France should be home any minute, meaning she can take care of the children. "I would most definitely like to meet him this afternoon if that's okay of course?" I say looking out the window.

There was shuffling of paper again and than the man on the other line spoke up again, "of course it is! Thank you Mr Great Britain, I'll see you this afternoon then!" I smile, "yes you will, thank you for your help, see you soon." I then hang up the phone and sigh, smiling fondly out the window, I then start to think on how long it will take me too get there?

I look up the address of the orphanage on my phone and my eyes widen, 2 hours and 17 minutes... "BLOOMING HECK! I need to leave right now if I want to even get close to getting there on time!" I then look up to see Frances car pulling into the drive way, I quickly run and grab my coat and wallet, and run out of the office, the boys look at me weirdly Canada still soaking wet on the coach, as I run past them. France opens the door to almost get run over by me running past her.

She just looks at me bewildered before I hop in the car and drive off.

(Frances P.O.V)
'Not even a hello or a goodbye???' I think to myself I then shrug it off as Great Britain being Great Britain, I then turn back to inside the house and my eyes widen in shock as I see the house walls covered in water and Canada soaking wet sitting on the couch with America sitting next too a water gun. They both quickly stood up and pointed at the other. "HE DID IT!!" They both shouted at the same time. I sigh and put my bags down and look at them both. "Okay let's start cleaning up then...."
