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!
December 25th 1922
(from the diary of Natalya Jones nee Arlovskaya)
Well the children did have a good Christmas and they are happy but I can't say I will be until I know what becomes of the raid and if the Marshalls do take Fredka on. They seemed pleased when he gave them the ledger information that Eliza was able to sneak out. She was able to make a convincing fake for them that didn't lose much. Then again they're Italians, they can't keep track of money well. They suspect there will be a lot of people there on New Year's Eve and the Marshalls will strike then thinking guards will be down. Marshall Pickett trusts Fredka and I. Fredka told him that it was me that had obtained the evidence via connections I had with Eliza. I knew I had to force the hand because with the politics at the office Fredka was never going to get the position he desired.
And I have come to terms with what he needs. I understand full well that he will be moving into a more dangerous job and there is a real chance he may die in the line of duty, but he needs that duty. He told me he felt that it was his fault Vanya died because he didn't ignore his request and join up anyway. His mind convinced him that if he was there he could have done something. I know if they were on duty together that yes, he would and would have done something and they both may have made it through. If war was like the stories, yes. But from what I read and I heard Matvey say it is not. They both could have died. But I have come to terms that if I want Fredka to be happy he will need to feel he is serving a greater purpose and not just working to feed the family. Besides, I was thinking that if Vanya were still alive and saw Fredka miserable like this, it would break his heart. He wanted us to be happy. I just wish he could see the pacific too. He wanted to eventually move somewhere warm and sunny after living a miserable life in the cold Russian lands. And it's not like I couldn't just write to Katyusha and Matthew. But I have to think of what will make the family happy.
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 the way it is going this one will be longer than the other. One is over a few years, this a whole decade practically. I am toying with some Prohibition era ideas with the Vargas family but nothing too much has come so far. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear it. Anyway, remember to read (well you just did) and to review. Ciao for now,
