Hey everyone! So none of you commented on the whole contest idea in the bottom author's note on the last chapter. I'm assuming it's because you didn't read it because yes, it was a rather long paragraph. The other option was no one really wants to do that which I'm fine with ,but in that case I would figure that you would say something about not wanting to participate in something like that. Anyway if you didn't read it please do! Thank you! Anyway, please enjoy this chapter, it's really awkward and long XD so yeah I hope you all like it! Please comment and tell me what you think!
Norway's pov
I viciously rapped on Iceland's front door until a small figure appeared to open it. He gestured for me to come in, not bothering to say anything like 'welcome' or even 'hello'. My guess is he was just really nervous, which he should be.
We sat across from each other in the living room, our usual place of discussion. "First of all I should tell you that you're an idiot" I stated still furious. He looked down at his feet with a definite blush on his face. "You're too young to be doing something like that" I said slightly calmer.
"I can tell this is going to be awkward for the both of us, but I still need to know the details." I said reluctantly. Iceland looked up from where his eyes were fixed on the white laces of his boots to meet my gaze. "Details?" he repeated questioningly. "Yes, like did you use protection, was it planned, was the feeling mutual, where, when and especially why" I explained as I pinched the bridge of my nose.
"Oh, uhm" Iceland started only pausing to clear his throat. "It wasn't exactly planned. Well, for me it wasn't. I'm not sure if he planned it or anything like that but he seemed pretty surprised in the morning" he answered blushing deeply. I sighed at his irresponsibility, how could he not take the initiative to plan something like that?
"w-well it's not like you planned it with Denmark." He blurted out. I removed my hand from my nose to look up at him with narrow eyes. "For your information we did. Well, at least our first time we did!" I nearly shouted. "How exactly do you plan something like that though? Isn't it supposed to be the right moment or something?" Iceland exclaimed shyly.
"Yes it all depends on the moment b-but…look…." I sighed "when I was in that situation a while back we both agreed on it. It wasn't just a spontaneous thing. We agreed in that moment, you shouldn't be afraid to say something, imagine if Hong Kong didn't want that to happen?" I pressed. Iceland sighed "I didn't know ok?"
I rolled my eyes, like that was any excuse. There was a long silence between us before Iceland spoke up again. "What do you mean by, the feeling is mutual?" he asked timidly. "I mean, did you both want to?" I asked him leaned back into the couch. Iceland's face got hot again having gone back to normal sometime during our argument. "W-well, I wanted to, and he seemed like he wanted to. He was….in control" he answered turning tomato red.
"Ok well in that case the feeling was probably mutual" I sighed out knowing he needed me to confirm that fact. "Where?" I asked immediately after. "H-Hong Kong's room" he stuttered. "When?" I asked already knowing the answer. "Last night" he answered quickly. "Why?" I asked not expecting an answer right away.
Iceland looked away from me, not wanting to meet my gaze. "I-I don't know. We just did." He answered quietly. "You don't know. Really? That's what you're going with? So if it were say, Ireland; that would be your answer. You just did?" I questioned, grilling him with my eyes. His head snapped back to mine "No!" we stared at each other for a while before I broke the silence.
"Well?" I pressed. No response. I sighed, "Do you love him Iceland?" I asked making it sound like the question was obvious, which of course it was. He didn't meet my eyes for a long time but when he finally did, it was to nod. It was very small but sincere.
I sighed again, only this time it was a content sigh. "Alright, grilling officially over" I declared standing up to come sit beside him. "Though you did forget, or avoid, one question" I informed him, though I could tell he already knew what I was talking about. Iceland looked nervous still and I dreaded the reason why. "You didn't, did you" I stated quietly.
It took Iceland a good five minutes to respond. "I don't …..Remember" he confessed quietly. I stared at him for a moment before his words took effect. "Do you remember anything?" I asked concerned. "Y-yes, I remember the whole thing. I just don't particularly remember if…well you know" he explained.
"Well, looks like we'll have to get you checked out then" I informed him reluctantly. Iceland's head snapped up and he looked at me. "w-what do you mean?" he asked nervously. "I mean like a pregnancy test ice" I said standing up and fishing my keys out of my pocket. "n-now?" he asked even more nervous than before.
"Yes now ice, the sooner the better and if worse comes to worse you might be able to take the morning after pill if we get there in time. Just don't let me see you take it, I can't stand the thought" I said muttering the last part.
"So is that what happened? You just didn't want to kill the baby?" he asked in a small voice as we slipped on our jackets. I sighed. "No ice, by the time I found out I was pregnant, it was way too late to take that pill." I answered. "Would you though? I mean, if you had the choice" he asked as we loaded into my navy blue car.
I froze, just about to put the keys in the ignition. My hand slowly lowered as I contemplated his question. "I don't know ice, I guess it depends on what Denmark wanted." I answered quietly. Now that I had been pregnant for nine months and even given birth to a beautiful baby boy, I could never think about not having him. He was my little Soren. I wouldn't trade him for the world.
I shook it off and started the car, heading for the convenience store.
Denmark's pov
I sighed as I stretched out on the floor next to where Soren was playing. "Can you believe it?" I asked him completely ignoring the fact that he can't talk. Soren turned his head slightly to look at me but otherwise continued playing with his blocks. "Iceland…I bet you five bucks it was with Hong Kong." I continued. Soren giggled and bounced up and down, pointing to the green block.
I smiled and ran a hand through his blonde hair. "You're getting to look more and more like your mommy every day" I said happily scooting closer to place a kiss on his forehead. Absent mindedly I stacked the blocks in a tower feeling a sense of pride overtake me when Soren watched me in amazement.
He really did look like Norge. He had his same big blue eyes and the same soft blonde hair. I was beginning to wonder where my DNA was. It didn't matter to me though; I still got to have a mini Norway around all the time now!
Just then the doorbell rang causing Soren to jump slightly. I picked him up and went to answer the door. To my pleasant surprise, it was Finland. "Oh hey finny, what's up?" I asked him casually as I stepped away from the entrance to allow him in.
"Not much, just stopping by to go over some of the fine details of the wedding. Is Norway around?" he asked. "Uh no actually, he went to Iceland's house for an uhm…visit, and then he's going to the store" I explained as I placed Soren down on the island top. "Oh, that's too bad" Finland replied with an upset expression. "Maybe you two could just read through this when he gets home then?" Finland suggested, handing me a white binder.
"Uh, sure, no problem" I agreed taking the binder gratefully. "There's only one big change, but you honestly don't need to worry about it because I've taken care of it." Finland added quickly. "Hmm, and what don't I have to worry about then?" I asked him suspiciously. "Well I looked into the weather and my predictions are; April isn't really the best time to have an outdoor wedding, especially if you're having it in Copenhagen" he confessed with a sheepish smile and nervous laugh.
I sighed, "So when is a good time?" I asked slightly angered. "Early June is fine!" Finland said quickly. I flipped open the binder and skimmed through the pages. "And you're sure you'll have everything worked out for that date instead?" I questioned.
"Yup!" Finland exclaimed happily, "I've only got a few more things to move." so what's the new date then?" I asked out of curiosity. "June 11th!" Finland answered with a smile. "Ok that's fine. Thanks for helping us with this fin. I could never handle it and even though Norge possibly could, he's way to busy anyway." I admited. "It's no problem really!" Finland waved off "I'm actually really enjoying it!"
And with that he gave me a wave and was off being sure to pat Soren on the head before he left. "Well little buddy, guess it's just you and me again. What do you wanna do?" I asked Soren who was still sitting on the island.
Soren didn't respond, he only kicked his legs back and forth and sucked his thumb. "Ok" I mumbled to myself. "How about we watch some TV?" I questioned not waiting for any form of reply before I plucked him off the island top and brought him to the couch.
I flicked on the TV and got comfortable on the couch. I skimmed through the channels until I found a horror movie I liked. It was only a few minutes in but the zombie apocalypse was already beginning. "Raaaaaaw!" a zombie screamed. Unfortunately, so did Soren.
I quickly picked him off the couch and bounced him on my knee hoping to calm him down. Nothing seemed to work! He just kept crying and crying! I tried burping him. Nothing. Then I checked his diaper. Nothing. Thank god for that one because Norge usual handles that. I tried feeding him and rocking him and I even left my precious movie for a while.
"Boo-boo!" he yelled through tears. "Boo-boo? What's boo-boo?" I asked him. No response, just crying. He kept saying boo-boo for some reason. "I don't know what else to do!" I exclaimed trying to comfort him as much as possible as I made my way to the phone.
Norway's pov
I roamed the aisles with Iceland looking over each item and grabbing what I needed. "I thought we were only here for….one thing" Iceland whispered as he watched me throw a bottle of shampoo into my basket. "I never said that. I was coming here already today but then I got a call from you" I stated not bothering to elaborate further.
Iceland didn't say another word as I continued shopping, checking my list every once and a while. Suddenly, my phone rang. I fished it out of my pocket to see that the caller ID read, Den. I sighed and flipped the phone open and pressed it to my ear. "Hello?" I spoke into the speaker.
"Hey Norge-"he started but I cut him off instantly. "Why do I hear crying? What did you do now?" I demanded. "Well you see I put on a movie and he just started crying." He explained weakly. "What kind of movie" I asked as my eyes narrowed. "Uhm…just a little, innocent, zombie apocalypse one" he answered in a small voice.
"You let him watch a horror movie! He's not even one years old yet!" I scolded. Iceland jumped slightly from beside me. He seemed a little surprised too having overheard the conversation. "I turned it off! But he won't quit crying!" he complained. I sighed. "Did you check his diaper?" I asked. "Yeah" he answered. "Did you try burping him or feeding him?" I asked again. "Yeah. He just keeps saying boo-boo for some reason." Denmark explained, sounding distressed.
"Boo-boo?" I questioned. "Yeah boo-boo" Denmark clarified. "That means he wants his pacifier" I responded with a sigh. "….oh! Thanks Norge!" he exclaimed happily. I sighed again and went back to searching the shelves for things I needed. "Is there anything else you need while I'm on the phone?" I asked him. "Uh…just one more thing" Denmark responded shyly. "yes." I stated blandly. "Where's his pacifier?"
I rolled my eyes, "it's either in his playpen/crib or it's on my nightstand" I answered. "Oh ok thanks Norge! Love ya'!" he exclaimed. "Goodbye Denmark." I muttered just about to close my phone when, "wait! You're not gonna say I love you back! You still love me right Norge! It was just a silly mistake really!" he burst out. I sighed for what had to be the fiftieth time today, "I love you too" I muttered before closing the phone just in time to see Iceland's eye twitch.
"Ok now that that's over, let's get you a pregnancy test" I said monotone. Iceland's face got red but he didn't say anything. We walked down the aisles until we reached the right section. "Ok, I would go with three just to make sure you've got an accurate reading" I informed him.
I walked down the aisle browsing. "Uhm, Norway" I heard a small voice from behind me. I turned to see Iceland biting his nail and looking over the shelves nervously. "Hmm?" I offered as a response. "w-what ones should I get?" he asked nervously.
"Um...these should be fine" I answered plucking three different tests from the shelf. "These things are expensive so I'll pay for one, but you're paying for the other two seeing how it was your fault anyway" I muttered tossing them into the basket. "Ok can we go now" Iceland muttered hastily. "Not yet" I responded without expression.
I walked down the aisle again, Iceland following me. I grabbed a box of the morning after pill. "This is just in case, so there's no need to worry" I mumbled when I saw his frightened expression. "And one more thing…" I muttered as I walked back down the aisle for the last time. I handed Iceland the basket so I could grab the desired item.
"Condoms, they're good for everyone." I stated holding out a box of latex condoms. Iceland jumped away from them like they were some kind of monster. I sighed and put them in the basket anyway. "Trust me once you've done it once, you're gonna want to do it again. Not necessarily with Hong Kong but that doesn't matter. Whomever it is, you should be protected. I can't handle another unplanned pregnancy even if it isn't my own" I mumbled the last part and headed for the check out.

I skimmed over the bold titles of articles in the local newspaper as I waited for Iceland to emerge from the bathroom with the tests. It didn't take long at all. What did seem like forever was the three minutes we had to wait for them to be done.
Iceland legs bounced up and down nervously and his hands rubbed his knees nonstop. "Ice relax, if worse comes to worse you can take the pill, there's plenty of time." I assured him. Even so he didn't loosen up. "Yeah I know, but still, I can't help but feel nervous" he explained in a shaky voice.
The timer went off startling us both. Iceland's rapid actions immediately halted at the light 'ding!' of the cooking timer. "I can't look" he whispered. I stared at him for a moment before standing up and walking over to mantle where we placed the tests.
I picked up one and looked at the sign. "Well?" Iceland asked hesitantly. I didn't say anything, only surveyed the other tests. "w-what do they say?" Iceland asked getting increasingly nervous. I gathered all three tests still silent. I walked back over to him covering the readings with my hand. "Norway!" he exclaimed in a nervous fit. I didn't bother looking up at him, just pushed the box of pills towards him.
All the color drained from his already white face. He grabbed the tests out of my hand without any protest from me. "All three….are positive" he whispered to himself. We sat there in silent shock until we heard a car pulling up the driveway.
"Ice" I mumbled picking the box off the table and handing it to him. "b-but what about Hong Kong?" he stuttered. I sighed and watched as the front door opened revealing none other than Hong Kong. "Hey Iceland, I'm back" Hong Kong said as he entered the house.
Neither of us said anything, just watched as he noticed Iceland's terrified expression. "Iceland" he said slowly as he crossed through the kitchen to the living room where we were seated, "what's wrong?" I saw as Iceland's eyes welled up with tears at the sight of the tests. "I can't believe this" he mumbled completely ignoring Hong Kong.
At this Hong Kong quickened his pace towards us not missing a beat. "w-what are those?" he stammered, staring at the tests in his hand. I didn't want to intrude and I figured they needed space to talk. "I'm gonna go read a book somewhere other than here" I muttered. Hong Kong nodded but otherwise didn't say anything. I stood and began to walk away but stopped to whack Hong Kong upside the head. "Ow!" he yelped "what was that for?" "What do you think?" I asked before continuing on my way to find a quiet place to read.

Hong Kong's pov
"y-you're….pregnant?" I exclaimed gawking at the tests in front of me. "Not for long" Iceland breathed as he popped a pill out of the silver, breakable lining. "Are you sure about this" I sighed out taking his hand. "Hong Kong, I'm not ready to have a baby. I know it's yours too, but I just can't handle it." He confessed as tears rolled down his cheeks.
I sighed and pulled him in for a hug. "Iceland, it may be my child but it's your decision. Its nine months of your life, not mine. If you wanna take the pill, then take it." I said pulling back from our hug to meet his gaze. Iceland nodded just as Norway emerged from the hallway. "Are you guys done yet?" he asked casually.
"Almost" Iceland said softly, staring at the little white pill in his hand. I watched as Iceland filled a glass with water and hesitantly popped the pill into his mouth. Norway sighed and closed his eyes for a moment. Iceland took a swig of water and swallowed the pill, saying goodbye to our vanishing future.
Wow, can't you just feel the awkward from that chapter XD so I have a few questions to answer but before I do that I'd like to remind you guys to make sure to check out the information in the bottom authors' note in the last chapter! Thanks that would be much appreciated! So anyway….
So yeah dear, thehelpinghand: thanks for the constructive criticism! Trust me I do take it well but I have answers and explanations to your points :)
So first of all, the whole pregnant man thing, well this is an Mpreg so it doesn't really need explanation but yeah I did give one in the story. I believe I said that it was because they were countries and I think the reason for that would be that most of the countries are men so in order to make islands and stuff heh heh :)
As for the OOC-ness of Norway and Iceland I figure this, Norway was pregnant so hormones can really mess with his personality and as for Iceland he was just going through a really rough part of his life :)
Spell checking is something that I do every time I write but sometimes it doesn't catch everything. Also whenever I get done with these chapters, it's usually really late at night so I don't read it over, though I did have time to read this chapter over :) Ps. Yeah I wasn't sure how to spell C-section thanks for letting me know.
As for the C-section thing, yeah I sort of knew how that worked and that's why I put it in the story. Lolz in case you haven't noticed Norway is a guy and he doesn't magically grow a vag XD there was no other way to deliver the child and even if there is no assistance from the mother, getting an incision still hurts. Also I know he would have gotten some kind of numbing to the area or whatever but I thought it would sort of ruin it. I'm not trying to be harsh although I probably came off that way I just figured that it was obvious.
Ok well that's it then make sure to review please!
