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 5th 1914

(from the diary of Ivan Braginsky)

Well today was interesting. I had decided to come with Fredka and Natalya to their house for Sunday dinner and had overheard their conversation about Natalya wanting to become a mother herself. I don't know if Fredka knows what he is in for until that baby is conceived. If there is one thing I know, it is when Natalya wants something, she makes sure she gets it. I never pictured her being so eager to have children, but who knows. She may indeed be settling down. I do think when they do, the baby will be just adorable.

I do think that this is the reason she was actually angry I overstayed my welcome. I assume she wanted to get to work on having a child right away. It was not on purpose but I was just so wrapped up in conversation with Fredka. I just kept looking at how the sunlight hit his hair and how blue his eyes were behind his glasses. That I lost track of time and when dinner was finished she did invite me to eat with them. It was after dark and I was assuming that Fredka invited me to stay the night to show Natalya he cared about her family as well. I'd like to think of him as a brother. His own brother is in Canada and from what he had told me, is working as a member of the Royal Mounted Canadian Police. He was down for the wedding and I was actually surprised at this. He was very shy and quiet but Fredka assured me that if need be he was a formidable force to deal with.

He is more in tune with what is going on in Europe than Fredka is. Britain and Canada still have close relations. He explained there are rumors of war breaking out and if Britain were to get involved they would ask Canada for help and many Canadians were willing to join up and help. I hope this blows over. Matthew seemed like he would join up, if just not to seem like a coward. I worry about the bloodshed if this gets too bad.

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
