Chapter seven

"Norway, is she your daughter?" England asked Norway, ignoring the other nations' comments to the question. Norway stared at England silently, not sure what to say. If he denied it outright, chances were good that they would have been questioned more, and if he said he was they would be in the same problem.

Norway glanced to the girl to see her looking worried at him. He then said, "Perhaps, why would you ask?"

"Well, you do know that if that's the case then you are going to get in trouble," France said. Norway and the other Nordics shared a glare towards the Frenchman and the Englishman, slightly moving closer to Norway and Ans in a protective way.

"Dude, you have a kid? Awesome!" America said while looking at the girl, unknowing of the rule placed into action long before he existed.

"No, America, it's bad. Think, I know that I taught you about that when you were younger," England said with a sigh.

"So is she your daughter?" Prussia asked while also getting out of his seat to get a better look at her. In response, Ans looked up at the strange man and backed towards the table separating her from her family.

"No, now I really do need to get going," Ans said hastily, trying to get away from the now forming group. England held her there, however, and asked Norway again for a clear answer.

Ans bit back a yelp when England's hold grew tighter, the pain still obvious to Norway. At last he said, "Yes, she is. Is there a problem with that?"

The older nations all gave a shocked noise when they heard this, causing Norway and Denmark to jump the table and grab the girl before more nations swarmed her. Shortly after getting her to the other side of the table, Norway held her close as the others swarmed her both angrily and curiously.

"You know the rules, Norway! Why would you even think about doing this?" Austria asked.

"He didn't know about me until recently," Ans said only to then try hiding herself in Norway's shoulder upon seeing all the disbelieving stares.

"Whether he only just knew about you or not is not the issue. It's the fact that you exist which bothers us," France said, causing the girl to bite at her lip nervously.

"So then, is she going to be in trouble?" Iceland asked, glancing to his brother and niece. The others seemed to think about this for several seconds before America asked, "Will somebody tell me why this is actually a bad thing? Seriously, what's wrong with you guys?"

"According to what Norway and the others told me, you guys aren't supposed to have kids for some war reason," Ans said guiltily.

"That's correct young lady. So then do you know what will happen to the two of you?" England asked.

She stayed silent for a moment, a little paler, only to then shake her head and mumble, "They weren't that specific."

"Not surprising, who would want to tell a little girl that she's going to die," Prussia blurted at, causing Ans to hold onto Norway even tighter and for America and the younger nations to give out a cry of surprise.

"But you can't just kill her for no reason! She didn't do anything," Seychelles cried out to France and England.

"It's the rule Seychelles, a rule that Norway agreed to long ago," France said, "The same rule for why we've always told you and the others to not have any babies."

"I thought that was just because you didn't want to have any grandkids and feel old," Seychelles commented.

"But if it was a rule from long ago, then maybe it, like, shouldn't apply anymore?" Hong Kong said, only to get an ear-full from China about how rules and tradition needed to be followed. Even so, it caused several other nations to pause at the idea.

"It still does not stop the fact that Norway knew about the rule and even agreed with it when it came out," England said, not making eye contact with the glaring Nordics or the troll and blue fox-thing.

"But dude, she's just a little kid!" America said, watching Ans slink in between her uncles. He then looked at the older nations and asked, "I mean, is there even a way that this is supposed to happen?"

"It's written down somewhere, we will just need to find it again. I mean, it has been a while since a kid has come up," Prussia replied.

"Perhaps it would be best if we tried to actually start the meeting and place this on the list of things to talk about later; when we actually know how to go about it," Japan offered.

Austria made as if to say something, but was cut off by Finland saying, "Good idea, no point rushing into something we're all out of practice on. So should we continue since the meeting should have started a while ago?"

The others thought about the idea, several of them nodding in agreement. At last France and England nodded their heads and said, "Yes, I suppose that will have to work."

With this the nations all returned to their seats, causing Ans to give a sigh of relief. She then looked up to her father and asked if that meant she could leave. In all honesty, the confrontation had taken a toll on her nerves and she wanted to sit down somewhere. Germany noticed the question and said, "Yes, you may go for now. But we will wish for you to return soon once we know how we feel about the matter."

Ans said nothing, giving only a quick nod before rushing to the door; giving a glance to her relatives before closing the door. After the door was closed, Norway looked back to the itinerary list and said, "So, the first issue on the list is the world economy."

To the statement of what they needed to talk about, most nations gave out displeased moans or began not paying attention. The Nordics, on the other hand, each gave a slight smile at the subject; knowing that at that rate it would take a long time for them to reach the topic of Ans who was at the bottom of the list.

Feels like it took forever to write this chapter XD
