7. Alfred's Journal 3

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!

July 4th 1914

(from the diary of Alfred F. Jones)

It's late and Nattie fell asleep quickly after we got home from the firework show. It's one of the favorite things about my birthday. We just have to wait until after dark to see them. It was us and her brother and sister when we went into the park where the display was being held. We set the blanket out and Katy had packed us a picnic, well dinner you could say, and just laid back in the muggy summer air. There was a stand selling ice cold lemonades so I got one for everyone. I thought they didn't quite put enough sugar in, so did Vanya, but Nattie said it was too sweet. I challenged her when we got home that if she didn't like it so much she should make some herself. She actually said she would, even though Vanya seemed displeased I talked to his sister like that.

I just realized we had been married a whole month. Time sure flies doesn't it? I mean it still seems like yesterday I carried her through the threshold. I just hope she's happy with me. I mean she seems to be. I don't want her to think she had to marry me. She could have said no; I would have been fine. It's just hard to tell what Nattie thinks and feels sometimes. I think her aggressiveness is just a front. Besides she seems the type that if she hated my guts and wanted me dead she'd have done the deed herself anyway and made off with the life insurance that Vanya made me get before I married her. Geesh, I mean I am 26 now I don't plan on dying any time soon.

But that has me thinking, I am 26 now. I may not plan on dying soon, but I do want to have a child. Does Nattie want one too? She would be the one knocked up for 9 months after all. I'll ask her in the morning, it's getting late.

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
