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!
June 2nd 1923
(from the diary of Elizabeta Edelstein nee Héderváry)
Well it is finally happened. After being in labor what seemed like eternity, I gave birth to our daughter. Katy took us to the hospital as I had gone into labor in her front room. I had been visiting her more often lately because we had purchased Alfred and Natalya's house when they finally moved to San Diego. Natalya said she would write when she got settled but haven't heard back yet. They had left in the middle of April as Alfred was said to start at the beginning of May. We did help them move as best we could. Well it may be the mail is taking awhile. Who knows. But today is Maria Theresa Edelstein's birthday. Yes I know it's an Empress of Austria, but I thought it was a good name. I do wonder sometimes what it would have looked like if Gilbert and I could have had children. We had tried for a little bit before the war but well, I was pregnant for a little bit but had a miscarriage. We were going to try again but that is when Gil got drafted into the war.
Katy's children seem to really like Maria. Louise misses her cousin Anya so much but says she can be the big sister. I would love to hear from Alfred and Natalya on how they had managed such a trip with their four children. Nikolai is 8 and tried to keep his younger siblings in line but more often than not Natalya or even Alfred had to reprimand him for causing problems with them. He's getting so big. Alfred did not take the piano or the tree house he had built with them as well as much of the furniture. Said he had gotten the place mostly furnished and ready for them to move into. Haven't seen Matthew much since the move. He keeps being called into work since he was involved in a high profile case but he is getting tired of it. I hear Katy often talk about Yosemite to him. Does she want to visit or is trying to do something like Natalya did? I do know Roddy has been talking with some producers in Hollywood who want his playing skills when they make movies. Some are experiementing with adding sound. These guys, I think they were brothers whose last name was Warner wanted to talk to him about that.
Roddy has actually been quite good to Maria. A proper father and swears he will teach her to play piano like he did with Al and Natalya's kids but I want to honestly play with her in the treehouse. Ah but she is so tiny right now. And by the looks of it, Roddy is more tired than I am.
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,
