America was silently crying, not sure whether to hate herself, England for being so short-sighted, or both. Now that her people were beginning to become restless and hostile towards the British, America knew war was unavoidable. Yet, England had berated her like she was still a child, saying she should be grateful he ever took her in and cared for her.

America wasn't a child anymore, physically or mentally. She had a colony to look over, children to care for, a war to prepare for, and a secret to keep.

Not only that, but England did not know her. He didn't have the right to say that he cared for her when he didn't even lift a finger to raise her.

Many European countries agreed to help her, like France (despite his debt that would lead to the French Revolution not too long after the Revolutionary War) and even Spain, who was unaware that he had fathered a new child within America's soil.

America was still thankful that she was unable to show her developing child, but right now she wanted something to rub, something that she knows is growing within her, waiting to be born. America however was hoping that she wouldn't have the child during the war itself. How was she going to be able to protect the child in the middle of a battlefield?

The door opened, and her future boss, George Washington, came in. "Miss, we need to talk. Please, it's urgent."

Nodding and taking deep breaths to forget her anger with her would-be former caretaker, America followed George out of the room.

Despite previous European contact in the 1500's, California was created during the Spanish Colonial Period, so that resulted in Spain creating the new life within America in 1769, just before the Revolution would begin.

It would soon create a beautiful baby girl named Gabriella. Gabriella was what you would describe as a "California girl" because of her flawless tan skin, firm E-cup breasts, an athletic figure, and green eyes and long, brown hair. Both her appearance and personality screamed Spain.

However, when there were hard times, Gabi would try to stay strong for her family, especially since her people needed her. Due to food shortages in the past and common earthquakes, Gabi possessed a lot of scars on her form, but that didn't diminish her enthusiasm.

"What's important is living your life to the fullest Madre!" Gabi said to her mother at one time. "You never know when the next day you have will be your last."

So true. Gabriella truly was her father's daughter, the only compliment America will ever give Spain.

Though, as Gabriella got more siblings, she became extremely protective of her sister, Florida, who had Spain's green eyes and tan skin, except America's hair, except it was more of a blonde color than her mother's. She also was more timid than her confident sister, and California often accidentally suffocates Florida with her hugs. America doesn't know whether her breasts are to blame or her abnormal strength, which she inherited from both America and Spain.

Spain didn't know his own strength either, and America now understood how Romano felt when the Spaniard would nearly crush him to death with his hugs. However, Florida always politely tapped Gabi's back, letting her know that she needed to breathe.

"G-Gabi....! I can't-I can't breathe!" Florida squeaked, her face turning blue from the lack of oxygen.

Glancing at her sister in confusion, Gabi saw the blue in Florida's cheeks. She gasped. "Oh no! I'm sorry Flor! I'm so sorry!"

The other children were terrified of the hugs of California, even Virginia and Pennsylvania! America and Texas (somewhat) seemed to be the only people able to handle them, and Florida was determined to be one of them too. This was her full-blooded sister after all.

Another trait that often got Nevada jealous was how freely Gabriella wears gold. During her gold rush, Gabi began wearing the gold given as gifts to her in remembrance of those who were only trying to live their lives when around greed and death. To punish the men who performed the deeds, Gabriella would soon take their gold for herself so no one would touch it and cause more death again.

And damn, it was amazing what gold did to people, especially to those whose greed got the best of them. America also hoped that another gold rush wouldn't happen, because she shared nightmares with her daughter for a long time after that. Those mournful and/or evil souls would be what becomes haunted and abandoned small towns near those gold and silver mines, one of the most haunted places in the world.

Monsters truly come in all shapes, sizes, and forms.
