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!
May 31st 1915
(From the diary of Alfred F. Jones.)
I can't believe it. This is the best day of my life. Better than when I got 6 ice cream cones as a kid. Better than when Natalya accepted my proposal, better than our wedding, better than the honeymoon. After what seemed like forever with labor, I am a Daddy. Little Nikolai Alexander Jones was born today. Luckily Matthew had come down for a little while after being granted some leave. I don't know what I would have done when she finally did go into labor. He was able to get Ivan and Katyusha for me as Nattie did not want me to leave her side. She told me, 'You put this in me, you will be here when it comes out!' My hand still hurts from how hard she squeezed it. Makes writing this entry kind of hard.
Her water broke around sunset yesterday and she finally gave birth around sunrise today. Mattie first had gotten Ivan and Katyusha and then went to look for a midwife when they came over. Turns out actually that Katyusha knows a bit about midwifery herself. Maybe she should look into making that her job than just a seamstress at a shirt factory. She's got great instincts for it and bedside manner. I know she wants to be able to support herself without having Ivan to take care of everything financially. Well that would be a good thing for her to do.
But little Nikolai was born very healthy. He's got his mother's eyes. The midwife said that babies commonly have blue eyes when born, but these seemed a darker, more sapphire like color when I have been told mine are just plain old bright blue. Trust me, there's differences. But anyway she said right at birth it is hard to tell which parent the child takes after. Mattie says he looks like me, Katyusha sees a lot of Natalya and Ivan just says he sees a good mix of both. Natalya seems to have this motherhood thing down. I just hope I can be a good dad to the little kiddo. Soon after her was born, Natalya was singing a Russian lullaby to him and she then said while she was feeding him that she was going to make sure he knew both Russian and English.
Right now, I am watching little Nikolai as I write this, but he and Natalya are both asleep. Ivan says I should get some sleep too. Insists on it. He says he'll look after the baby while I do. He's proving to be a great uncle already. I guess I should follow his advice then. Besides, all I want to do right now is cuddle up to the world's most beautiful mother in my eyes.
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
