Chapter 11

"Baby, come here for a minute," America called out to Julie from the living room. Tired of doing homework, Julie eagerly went to the room; ignoring the slightly annoyed sound of her father's voice.

"Everything okay, Daddy?" Julie asked as she entered the room and found her father standing and frowning.

"Do you know who was just on the phone?" America asked.

"No? I didn't even hear the phone ring," Julie answered honestly.

"It was some of the other guys wanting to talk to you about the results of a DNA test. Do you know anything about this?" America asked in an annoyed voice.

"…No?" Julie cautiously answered. She did not like it when her father was angry, especially when he was angry with her, but at the same time she could not exactly walk up to him and say that she went behind his back.

"Really, and is that what you want to go with?" America asked, giving her a look similar to the ones England would give him when he was younger and tried to lie his way out of trouble.

"I didn't want you to freak so I didn't tell you…I'm sorry Daddy," Julie apologized looking down in a way to make her look even more sorry.

"You know, they were asking me for a time to meet with you and share the results with you. But since you did not tell me what you were doing I don't know if I should let you hear the results," America commented. In response, the child's mouth opened due to displeasure and looked at him as if he just told her Santa Claus never existed and that the Easter bunny was just some bum he hired year after year.

"Bu-but Daddy, you can't! I have to find out about the results. You promised that if I let the subject drop for a month I could have the test done and I did that!" Julie protested.

"Yes, and I asked you a long time ago to trust me," America countered.

"Please Daddy, you have to let me find out! I'll never keep anything from you again, promise!" Julie begged.

America kept a stern look for another moment before smiling slightly and saying, "Good to hear that, but you're still getting punished. And for your punishment you get to be grounded for the next two months with no T.V or unneeded internet."

"…And the DNA results?" Julie asked cautiously about pushing her luck.

"I guess I can't stop you from being curious, so you can meet with them. We will meet with them," America answered, causing his daughter to smile brightly and give him a large hug.

After this, America called the nation who asked about a time back and told him that they could meet that weekend. With this done, the two of them went on with their lives for the next few days while waiting for the weekend to come with the results.

"Are you sure that you'll be alright with this?" England asked America as they waited for all of the possible fathers to arrive. At the moment, they were waiting on Spain and Romano, but they still had ten minutes before the agreed upon time.

"It's what she wants, and I don't want to get in the way of her learning about herself," America said dully. He had put the idea on the back-burner for many years, and he was still not too sure about the idea of mucking up what had settled in the back of his mind.

In what felt like no time for the adults, the last two entered and it was time for the DNA test results to be read. The room fell silent as America picked up the enveloped handed to him and read, "According to the results samples supplied, Julia Jones has a paternal match with…Germany."

The room was even more silent than before for several seconds as the idea sunk in; Julia blinking while wrapping her mind around this while Germany equally blinking. France then asked, "Are you sure you read that right? I was certain that the little girl would end up being mine."

"Why the bloody hell do you think she would be your? She acts nothing like you!" England snapped.

"You think the test was wrong, da?" Russia asked, hopeful at the chance that the test was wrong and she was really his.

"Perhaps, but she does have the same eyes as Germany," Japan commented.

"But America's eyes are also blue," Russia countered while thinking of hw both of his sister's eyes were blue also.

"And she acts a little too happy to be Germany's kid," Spain commented with a laugh.

"Again, that may be from America also. A lot of a child's attitude does come from how they were raised," England countered.

"She does kind of remind me of how Germany acted when he was a little kid. You know, on the rare and awesome occasions when he actually acted like a kid," Prussia said while walking up closer to his niece.

The others continued to throw out their ideas for how the two of them were similar as Julie and Germany simply stared at eachother and blinked. After some time of this, America shook his daughter's shoulder and asked, "Something wrong baby? You've been standing there looking at him for a while. I thought you'd be happy to know which guy you're related to."

"I am…it's just now that I know who it is I'm not sure what I should do," Julie answered blankly while looking to America for advice.

In response, America gave her a slight smile and answered, "I can't really tell you that, I mean, you were the one who wanted to meet him."

"I know…I know," Julie muttered before letting go of her father and walking up to Germany. Germany looked down at her as she stood next to him and looked up. He could not help but blush out of awkwardness when she said, "I guess a…hi Dad, is in order."

"J-Ja…hello…daughter," Germany answered equally awkwardly. In all honesty, he did not expect himself of being the father, and now that he was, he was not too sure what to do with this information.

"Don't just stand there like some unawesome statue! Hug her, smile at her, look at her like she isn't some science experiment gone wrong," Prussia ordered while giving his younger brother a push downwards towards the child. Germany momentarily lost his balance due to the push, causing him to land onto the girl which tried to hold him up in an embrace. He ended up apologizing when he realized this, and getting off of her before America walked over to the group to ask what had just happened.

With the father now found, many of the not-fathers congratulated Germany for winning the not-fully-recognized-game of who was the father and left until soon there was only America, Germany, and Julie left in the room. It was getting close to dinner time, so the threesome decided to go out to eat. This was more awkward than anything, however, due to Germany remaining in thoughtful silence unless Julie or America asked him something.

That evening as Julie got ready for bed, she sadly commented to America, "I don't think Germany wanted to be my other dad."

"What makes you say that?" America asked concerned that Germany might of said something mean to his daughter.

"I don't know…he just didn't seem as happy as some of the others would have been. And now that he is my other dad I don't know what I'm supposed to do next," Julie answered.

America thought about this for a moment before saying, "Well…as for not seeming as happy, I honestly don't think he knows how to look happy to a lot of people. Usually when he shows emotion it's him yelling or looking confused or frustrated; understand. So maybe realizing that he had a kid caught him by surprise and he hasn't yet realized that he can look happy around you. As to what's going to happen now, I really don't know. He may want to spend a lot of time with you, or try to forget about you, or something in between. All I can say for sure is that I'm pretty sure he's not going to move in and be like some of your other friend's dads. And that whatever happens you need to make sure that you're okay with it, okay?"

Julie nodded her head and threw herself at her bed; wrapping herself in the covers in one fell swoop. America smiled at this, walked in, and told her goodnight with a kiss on the forehead. He still had some thinking to do about all of this himself, and he figured that it would take all three of them time to get used to any changes that happen due to this knowledge. After the kiss America left for the living room, while Julie closed her eyes and thought about what she wanted from her new dad until she fell asleep.

So what are they going to end up doing?
