I don't own Hetalia okay? These are the last few chapters I am posting to kind of wrap these stories up. Now this will be the end of this series but if you want to use any of the characters or ideas for your own go ahead just let me know. Anyway, enough of this A/N, on with the fic!
May 10th 1959
(from the diary of Matthew Williams)
I had hoped I would have passed before Katy, but frankly it's like Natalya said, she loved me dearly and it would have killed her if she had become a widow. But the place we buried her is beautiful, overlooking Mono Lake. She had loved to head out here and honestly I loved fishing with the boys here too. Although it took a lot less time for Al and Natalya to come up here, well to have Alexei drive them. He was able to although he and Al keep arguing over who gets to drive Alexei's 55 Thunderbird. Things is that Al will never admit he's getting old. And he's always loved to drive but Alexei's gotten a worse need for speed since he was fighter pilot, even throughout Korea. I am so proud of my nephew and my children as well. Sure I didn't have the litter that Al and Natalya did but Louise and Chadwick are great themselves. Louise became a doctor working hard to compete with the men who didn't think she could do it. Frankly she has too much of her mom's fire to let that get in her way and Chadwick actually married Maria. Yeah Eliza and Roderich's first daughter. He had been making a lot of trips to Los Angeles and working the docks there and he met up with her. We had often visit them in Los Angeles as that is where Eliza and Roderich moved once talking films really took off and they needed him to actually compose the music for some of them.
If there was one thing I remember well, it was how much Roderich hated another war breaking out and said he should have punched that "dumm aussehender Schnurrbart-Narr, der nur sauer und launisch ist, weil er von der Kunstschule abgelehnt wurde" or as it is translated "stupid looking mustache fool who is just pissed and moody for getting rejected from art school". We had gotten rather close since Chadwick married Maria. Came back like he promised and married on VJ day in 1946. Katy thought it so romantic. Shame that our children had to see a war like we did though. Maybe we all didn't see it directly like Roderich and I and even Ivan did (well both Braginsky and Jones Ivans…. I can hardly call my nephew little anymore….) did but it hit us all in various ways. I swear when Chadwick joined and was sent to the Pacific theatre she was so scared. Some of the stories that came back of what the Japs did…
And I finally told Eliza, who had come up with Chadwick and Maria that I indeed killed her first husband in well I guess we call it World War 1 now…. And she doesn't hate me. Didn't blame me either. We had not known each other back them. And like everyone told me, it was war, I had to do what I had to do and now it just sits as a cruel irony. And for some reason that doesn't haunt me as bad as the guilt all these years did of me not saying it. I guess I could say it now because Katy wouldn't risk losing Eliza as a friend. That was the reason I never did before. I loved seeing Katy have a good friend even if most of the time they could just write or call every now and again. Although we had taken many trips her way in the winter and she often came up our way for summers. Apparently Roderich's movie music career took off so much they could get a summer home up in Northern California. Well that explains a lot of Chadwick's trips when he was younger.
It was a nice day, even though I was devastated. But it was a hard battle she had with cancer and while they did the best they could, it wasn't enough. Said it had started in her breast and moved along before anyone found it. A real shame. But I guess her little brother won't be so lonely and she has a lot to talk to him about now. Louise did call and said she was upset she couldn't make it but will stop by in the next few months, since she married she moved back east. But hey I will get to see the grandkids once again and they will like it out here. I just hope they don't mind that I can't make grandma's jam tarts and will be happy with my pancakes.
So how was that? Good? Bad? Short? Long? Let me know in a review. This is how I plan to end the story and like I said I am ending the series here with these. Anyway, remember to read (well you just did) and to review. Ciao for now,
