20. Alfred's Journal 6

I do not own Hetalia okay? I got a decent response to this story and it is a kind of challenge to write it in this format. But anyway, enough of this A/N on with the fic!

February 14th 1915

(From the diary of Alfred F. Jones.)

Today was a cold, snowy, sleety Sunday but Natalya, even while nearly 6 months pregnant, would not miss church for anything. It's about a third of a mile away and while not much of a walk on a nice day when she isn't pregnant, the weather is horrible and as much as I have to concede, as big as she's getting, there is a very good chance we are having a boy. Luckily, Vanya's house isn't too far from church so we stopped there and he came with us. I was hoping he'd talk Natalya out of pushing herself too much but at least he walked with us I guess. He's been great through all of this and Katyusha has been helping Natalya with housekeeping when I am at work. Don't get me wrong, I do my fair share of the work like the after dinner dishes and tuck my very pregnant darling in at night after rubbing her feet but she is dedicated to the prospect of having everything perfect when I come home, so I thank god Katyusha is willing to help out so much.

Katyusha made Sunday dinner at Ivan's and it gave me a chance to sneak away and prepare something special for Natalya. It is Valentine's Day after all. A local florist has a greenhouse and I got her a bouquet of 11 white carnations, which are some of Nattie's favorites and I did learn my lesson well on the even number superstition, some of those conversation hearts, a card and a box of Hershey's kisses. Despite the only sweet thing she liked before was that maple syrup that Mattie sent to us at Christmas, during her pregnancy she has grown quite the sweet tooth, which she attributes to the baby. Claimed that some of the women she had talked to about this told her their tastes had changed during pregnancy as well. Well at least it sounds like this is normal with pregnancy. I just want her to be happy and healthy. Then the baby will be when he's born.

So how was that? Good? Bad? Short? Long? (for a journal entry.) Let me know in a review. I'm going to try and get the others entries for this day up today. Just depends on how I am feeling. Anyway remember to read (well you just did) and to review. Ciao for now
