Sorry bout the wait, again... I was working on my GerIta MPreg fic, The Armistice Pregnancy xD (SHAMELESS SELF ADVERTISEMENT!) And a cool Collab fic with my Canada (Because I am cosplayer as Zee Awshome Prussia) that hopefully, when we have the time, can finally get started. I also had to finish up my stuff for Indiana Junior Classical League State Convention xD.

Moving on...~~~~

Okay, I had a question from PerfectChaos who asked: could you expand a little more on how the states came to being with Arthur and Alfred as their parents; and the other states with other nations like France being their other parent?

Well, to answer your question, (IDK if you're from the states or not xD) but you should know that America was colonized or owned by a lot of different people. The British, The French, and The Spaniards, just to name a few. The Thirteen Original colonies are England's; the Louisiana Purchase is Frances, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona (I think, don't quote me on this xD) were Spain's.

The states were made so as to symbolize the area's that belonged to America when he gained them from the other countries. It's sort of a complicated process...

I hope that answered your question, if not, tell me in a review and I'll try to be more specific.

Also, Artie is about oh, 2 and a half months...ish... the pregnancy cycle for a country is much different from a humans. But the child is still carried for the traditional 9 months. It just speeds up a bit so by 6 months its about fully developed to the human aspects of it, but then the last trimester is all about it growing depending on what it will be, Country, State, or City. The character attributes or stereotypes to those who live in the area are developed into the baby, but also receives traits from the parents.

And sorry for the shortness of the chapter, my creativity has been leaving me a lot as of late.

Disclaimer: I so do not own the awesomeness of the beautiful world that is Hetalia! I only own the plot line and the states!

As I set the two teacups down on the table, Jacob walked over and took his cup and sat down besides me.

He took a sip and smiled.

"Better?" I asked as he gave a short chuckle.

"Yea, thanks Dad." He replied.

"You're welcome." I replied. I looked up and watched as Nikki and Bethany sat down on the lawn together, whispering.

I looked around and EVERYONE seemed to be focused on those two. They must be up to something...again.

I heard Caleb whisper harshly to Andrew, "She's your wife! You're bound to be able to get something out of her!"

"Fine, I'll see what I can find out." Andrew mumbled as he walked over to Nikki. He sat down and pulled her onto his lap.

They exchanged some words before Andrew shot up and began screaming.

"I DON'T NEED TO KNOW THIS!" Andrew shouted as Nikki rolled off of him, causing Andrew to quickly get to his feet and start running away. But he ended up tripping over his own feet and went flying into the pool.

I couldn't help but laugh along with the kids as I spied Kassy, who too had laughed, having walked out of her house in time to see Andrew fall into the pool.

Andrew rose and sputtered out the water, "So not cool you guys!" He shouted as he began to swim towards the ladder.

"I'll go get some towels." I said, getting up and going inside.

I headed towards the linen closet and quickly took out some towels.

I headed back outside and saw Bethany head towards me.

"I'll go bring them to him dad." she said.

As she reached for the towels, I felt her lightly graze my stomach. But that wasn't what was bad. The baby had kicked. Being the daughter of Alfred, she had inherited some of her father's strength, so the kick was very easy to detect when I placed a hand on my stomach. I carefully looked at Bethany and she seemed like she hadn't noticed anything. That was good.

"Thanks, Bethany." I said as she gave me a smile.

"No problem, Daddy." She replied as she skipped over to Andrew and placed the towels in his lap.

I went back to my spot and continued to drink my tea and Andrew began drying himself off.

"I'm gonna go change." Andrew said when he had dried off. Standing up and walking towards me.

"Where do you want me to put the towels, Dad?" he asked.

"Oh, just put them in the hamper, I'll do laundry tomorrow." I replied.

"Oh, no that's okay Dad, we'll do it." Nikki said, who had been talking with Bethany again. I never realized they were that close. I always thought that Bethany didn't like Nikki since she was always trying to doll her up.

"If you're sure... I'll just have to show you how to work the machines." I replied as Andrew walked inside.

"Okie dokie, Dad!" Bethany replied, smiling wide, she turned towards Nikki and began to continue their conversation.

I breathed in the scent of the air around me. It seemed much more alive than usual. The roses were in full bloom and there was a calming breeze flowing from Holland Park.

I closed my eyes and smiled. I felt my daughter kick; apparently she was enjoying the weather as well.

After a long day outside, we headed back in, the kids offering to make dinner upon realization that there was American food in the pantries.

As I was sitting on the couch the phone rang, but before I could get up to retrieve it, Bethany answered.

"Hello, this is the Kirkland residence, this is Bethany Jones speaking." She spoke. "Oh, Queen Elizabeth, Hello. Yes, I am well, and your self? Yea, hold on while I get him." She said, before putting the phone on her shoulder.

"Daddy, it's the Queen. I didn't know she actually called people." Bethany said as I walked over and she gave me the phone.

"Good evening, Elizabeth." I greeted.

"Good evening to you too, Arthur." She replied. "I had heard that the colonies were in the country." She spoke.

"Yes, all thirteen of them." I replied.

"Yes, well, I was wondering if you and the children would like to come over for a spot of tea. Though of course, I'll have other beverages as well if some do not wish to have tea." The Queen said.

"Well, thank you for the offer, it would be nice for you to meet the colonies and for them to learn more of their British heritage." I replied, I personally though, just wanted to see her face if Jacob accepts tea.

"Splendid. Oh, and Arthur, they don't know about your pregnancy, right?" she asked.

I bit my lip and carefully looked around to make sure that none of them were within earshot.

"No, they didn't. And I'm sure if they did know, that they would go and tell Alfred..." I replied.

"That's what I thought." The Queen said. "I also heard from William that you had spent some time with Catherine yesterday." She added.

"Yes, considering that we are in the same situation and I not being able to talk about it with anyone else, I thought that having Catherine as a friend would be good for me." I replied.

"Yes, I can see how that would be of service to you." She replied. "Well, I must be going, Arthur, I shall see you tomorrow at tea time, yes?" She asked.

"Of course, Elizabeth. Cherrio." I replied. I waited for the line to go dead before I hung up the phone, knowing that it would be quite rude to be the one to hang up on the Queen.

I sniffed the air, whatever the States were cooking, it smelt divine.

And that's all she wrote guys! Sorry it's not longer, I wish is was too, but this is all that I could muster. I've had a long week since my last update xD
