Hey guys sorry for the late update but you know, projects suck. Anyway I'm really thinking about inching away from the angsty parts of this story and kind of letting them fade into the background. So tell me what you think about that and I'll try to give you some more details later on.

Denmark's pov

Home is exactly where I wanted to be right now. Thank god it's four thirty signaling the end of the work day. I still don't find it fair that Norway gets to stay home all day while I have to work. Yet I still feel bad for leaving him alone.

Finland and Sweden work so they can't visit him and we all know Iceland won't talk to him. Sealand obviously can't drive anywhere plus they don't have much in common anyway. Still though I wish he wasn't alone all the time.

I pulled into our driveway at around five o'clock like usual. My back hurt from my piece of shit chair I have to sit in all day and that bitch co worker of mine, Jason, pissed me off again today. I don't want to think about it at the moment, I've stressed about it long enough.

With a sigh and turned off the car and pulled the keys out of the ignition. A grabbed my suitcase from the passenger seat and hopped out. I don't even understand why I have to have a suitcase. I never use it besides storing papers. I could just use a folder or something. Anything was better than this suitcase that didn't go well with my clothes at all. Maybe I should start wearing a suit to work….

I opened the front door and placed my useless suitcase in its usual spot on the floor by the coat hanger. "I'm home!" I called into the seemingly empty house.

"hey." I heard Norway call down from the upstairs. I smiled to myself and walked to the staircase. Even though he's always alone, at least he keeps busy. He's always doing something when I get home.

"Whatcha doin?" I asked, peeking my head around the corner of the baby's room. "Just finishing putting some things away" Norway replied as he placed the last two folded clothing items in his hands into the snow white dresser.

"Are those all the gifts from the baby shower?" I asked him already knowing the answer. "Yeah. Well not all of them." He confessed. I gave him a confused look as I stepped into the room.

"When did you buy clothes?" I questioned, interested now. "It wasn't me, entirely" he answered letting a small sheepish smile slip. "Finland sort of convinced me to go out shopping today".

"I thought Finland was working today" I said walking over to the crib in the corner and picking up a new item that lay on the bedding. "He was but his boss gave him the day off because there's a meeting tomorrow" Norway explained walking over to stand beside me.

"Oh yeah that's what I was supposed to tell you." I said in sudden realization "you have to go to that meeting to, since it's a world meeting you can't exactly skip out" I explained.

Norway turned to me slightly worried "where is it?" he asked. "Not far, they said we could have it in Copenhagen this time around" I reassured him.

"Oh, alright. It's fine if I go then." I grinned for no reason and looked back down at the object in my hand. "What's this?" I asked curiously.

Norway smiled sheepishly again. "That one was my fault. Sorry but I couldn't help it, plus Finland said it was adorable" he admitted.

This time I had a reason to grin. "It is adorable! Though I don't think it was meant to be, I mean if this was meant to be an adorable baby's toy I'm just wondering what was going through the creators head." I said looking over the stuffed toy.

"You're right we were just wondering around the mall and we happened to see this. It's defiantly not meant to be adorable, yet in this situation it is" Norway explained.

"Anyway, what do you want for supper?" he asked making his way to the door. "Doesn't really matter to me" I said truthfully before setting the little blue bunny holding an axe down in the crib and tagging along after him.

There was a world meeting tomorrow. That means I have to go, and so does Iceland. He's already begged me to let him stay here but I don't think it's my place to say he has to go or not.

I still haven't called Norway yet, but I don't really want to. I'm worried about lying to him. I've never really lied before and I'm nervous about lying about this.

Though I know, it's the right thing to do.

I would have never thought that I could have actually gotten Iceland to open up to me, even the slightest bit. Yet here I stand cradling him in my arms and whispering calming words into his ear every once in a while.

Don't ask me how we got here; all I know is that he's starting to trust me more. Granted he still won't talk to me that much besides pleading with me to not tell Norway about what I found out and trying to find a way out of going to the world meeting.

"So you really don't want to go to the meeting tomorrow" I asked him suddenly pulling myself out of my thoughts. Iceland hesitated for a few second before nodding his head and curling up a little more into my chest.

I sighed before supplying my idea. "I could call your boss and tell him you're too sick to go" I offered. At this Iceland looked up at me seeming somewhat surprised.

"You'd do that?" he questioned. I looked slightly sideways for a moment before turning them back to his and nodding.

He gave me a weak smile and nodded again before whispering a gentile 'thank you'. I smiled back knowingly and rubbed small circles on his back coaxing him to sleep.

"So" I started as I swallowed another piece of pasta. Norway looked up from his plate to acknowledge me. "Everyone's going to be at this conference you know" I informed him.

"I know" he said easily brushing it off "I don't really care anymore. There's no use hiding it and a lot of people already know considering they were at the baby shower."

"Oh yeah. How many people don't know anyway?" I asked him talking another bite of my food. Norway thought for a moment before answering.

"Let's see Russia didn't come because he was worried Belarus might be here and Belarus didn't come because she knew Russia wasn't coming, however Ukraine did come and she brought a cake." I nodded as he continued.

"England came and he brought that little porcelain tea set. America came with him and he brought a McDonalds play dough kit. Hong Kong and Iceland didn't come but they know already. China came and brought a big stuffed panda. Japan came and brought that special tea that's supposed to be good for you. Lithuania didn't come because Russia wouldn't let him but Poland came with pokey and other various snacks. Obviously if Lithuania couldn't go then Estonia and Latvia couldn't go either. Prussia came and brought a stuffed version of Gilbird I believe. Hungary couldn't find the time to come because she was too busy cleaning up around Austria's place but Austria ended up coming and he brought a little plastic keyboard…" Norway continued on but I found myself drifting off into space.

"So basically" Norway eventually said bringing me back down to earth "Russia, Belarus, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Hungary, the Netherlands, Belgium, Seychelles, Canada, Cuba, France, Germany and Korea don't know" he concluded finally turning his attention back to his food.

"Well I guess they'll find out tomorrow" I said finishing up the food left on my plate before picking it up and walking it over to the sink to me washed. "I guess so. I'm kind of curious to see their reactions anyway" Norway confessed following my example.

"Me too. I wonder if they'll be surprised or if they'd expect it by now. I mean you haven't gone anywhere in a long time, you hardly leave the house anymore. Plus everyone knows were engaged." I said simply stating the facts.

"Wait, how does everyone know we're engaged" he asked placing his dish in the sink before walking over to me. "Uhm..." I hesitated

Norway raised an eyebrow at me in suspicion. "I sort of publicly announced it once you said yes" I said quickly before preparing to be reprimanded.

To my surprised Norway just sighed and chuckled a little. My body relaxed and I looked up at him. "Either way" he started "only 2 more months to go" he said with a smile before he placed a chaste kiss on my cheek.

Hope you all liked it! So I'm starting to edge into Hong Kong and Iceland a little more. Anyway! So tell me what you think and be sure to leave questions!
