I don't own Hetalia okay? I don't have much else for this opening. Anyway, enough of this A/N, on with the fic!
August 24th 1919
(from the journal of Matthew Williams)
Today was Katy's birthday and we got to share the news we got a few days ago. Since it was Sunday, a family tradition with the Jones and Willamses as I like to call it is that we have a lunch at each other's house. Al knew it was Katy's birthday and he and Natalya decided to have the lunch at their place this week. Natalya really put a lot of work into it. Much more than I could have asked for. Honestly if they weren't so insistant and if Katy wasn't so fond of the children I would have just taken her out myself after church but you do not change Al or Natalya's mind when they have a family gathering planned like this. They are very family oriented and have gotten much clingyier since Ivan died. Not that it is a bad thing, but sometimes I want to celebrate a holiday or birthday or what have you with my wife and me alone. Took a lot of work on Katy's part to have them out of my birthday.
But we had big news to tell and figured it would be perfect at this event. We finally found out that Katy was indeed pregnant. So we told Al and Natalya this and they just smirked. I was wondering why and Natalya said, "Well I could tell the signs." Al added, "We had been through this twice." They still offered their congradulations and were happy for us. It was interesting to see how little Ivan and Anya acted. They are starting to talk, and they were curious about what that meant. It was at this Nikolai said "a baby will grow in Aunt Tetya Katy's tummy and then squeeze it out." Al rolled over laughing and Natalya rolled her eyes, but come on, Nikolai is four. Couldn't ask much more out of him for something like that. But what matters is Katy's happiness today and she was very happy about it. She told me she felt so blessed and like the confirmation was an early birthday gift. She is 38 and is getting older. She had confessed that she feared she would be too old and I feared I did have an injury close to a bad spot for having children.
I also understand how Al was feeling when he found out Natalya was pregnant with Nikolai. It is indeed kind of overwhelming, even though I had been helping them with their children. But Al assures me it's natural and he's there for me. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing… Well judging by Nikolai, Anya and Ivan, he's doing okay…..
So how was that? Good? Bad? Short? Long? Let me know in a review. I don't quite know how long this one will be just yet as the other I had a more defined plan. But yeah. Anyway, remember to read (well you just did) and to review. Ciao for now,
