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!
September 25th 1922
(from the diary of Roderich Edelstein)
No denying the truth at this point. Eliza is going to have a child. Perfect. Just perfect. There's times I am more domestic than Eliza is! I mean she does a good job keeping the house clean but I cook better than her many times! I am more of a musician than a father. Besides, the way that Europe was when we left, it is only a ticking time bomb until something like the Great War happens again. And everyone will be surprised when it does. And they will ask for young men to fight the war, which if I do the math correctly, the child would be of age just when it breaks out. But I could be wrong. Maybe Germany learned their lesson. But I had contact with a cousin of mine Ludwig who is still back there. Economically it is not sounding well. I swear between how bad the economic situation sounds and those idiots in the beer halls, it's only a matter of time. I mean I even wonder what type of world will Alfred and Matthew's children will come into. Their mothers had left Russia before it crumbled, according to Alfred on their brother's advice.
I spoke with Alfred today about what I thought and he had mentioned that it sounded like something that Ivan would have said. I do also recall, "If he hadn't had died, I could have kept my old job. He might have been able to get us started with something for the kids. He'd have wanted that." That man is different when he's depressed, very different. I sense that Natalya and Eliza are scheming something though as well. I know what goes on where Eliza sings. Well some of it. They tried to get me in there but they didn't like my style. Oh well the Brooklyn Metropolitan Orchestra is on the up and up and I have a feeling that if they were ever busted, a term that Alfred uses, they would surrender and "sing like a canary" and took anyone that worked for them down with them. I don't know, maybe that baby will get Eliza out of there before she gets in too deep. She swore it was only for the down payment on a house. Which if Natalya's scheming to get her husband a job in California does come to fruition, this house would then be sold to us.
One thing I know for certain is that I do not like depressed but happy for the kids Alfred. It's weird.
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. Anyway, remember to read (well you just did) and to review. Ciao for now,
