The meeting finished without Norway there. Finland had made a quick excuse for him as he was still sleeping in the abandoned office room. He had sat back down next to Sweden and let the meeting run by with occasional glances at the almost invisible Canada in the corner.

Now Sweden had started to worry. Finland was acting a bit strange and nervous so when Fin told him to grab the others and meet in a random office room he had quickly complied.

Finland made his way back to the room that held Norway, who was now awake. The only sign that the nation was an the verge of an emotional breakdown was his face being paler than ever Finland had seen him.

"Norge I grabbed the others. They are going to meet us here."

Norway only nodded.

Finland sighed resting his hand on Norway's shoulder.

"We have to decide how to tell them all of this no doubt they are going to be confused. And probably upset. I can handle Sweden but Denmark might try and run out and try and carry Canada away from uh those two." Finland was to angry to speak their names. To be honest with himself he really wouldn't blame Denmark for doing something like picking Canada up and holding him forever. He had almost done the same but of course he had impeccable impulse control which Denmark definitely didn't have.

He could see Norway mind was racing the nation always would grab at his chest when he was thinking.

"Can We tell them together? I don't think I can start the conversation." Norway said his voice as monotone as possible.

"Of course we can but there are going to be quite a few questions. I will probably be asking a lot of them Norge." Finland said.

Norway posture sunk down.

"Okay"

There was a soft firm knock at door.

It was opened by Sweden. The other Nordics entered.

"What is up Fin. You wanted to talk." Denmark loud confident voice rang out as he jumped in front of Sweden.

"Norge. We were looking for you." He said.

He ran up to Norway but slowed when he saw the pale coloring.

"Hey are you...?"

"No". Norway said clipped.

Finland grabbed Denmark's arm and practically forced the Dane to sit in one of the chairs.

"Okay everyone has probably figured out that this is about Norway here. But I need you to sit down okay." He announced.

Denmark looked confused.

Iceland looked worried.

Sweden looked confused and worried at the same time. They all took their seats. Their eyes all on Norway. The Nordic looked terrified of what he was about to say.

"Um Fin. It might be easier to show them."

"You really want to watch that all again?" Finland said he eyes flashing in concern. Even he didn't want to see the horrible memory again.

"No I have a different one a happy one. I never been brave enough to go through it again but you all are here so I mean maybe it will be easier and it is a happy memory". Norway's voice felt sore he hadn't spoken this much since the 20s.

Denmark knew that Norway could show peoples memory but never had he seen The nation show them any of his own. "Norge What going on?" He asked.

"Just...um..let me show you." Norway said as he closed his eyes magic filled the room. Finland noticed it was much calmer than before and again they were thrust into a forest but this time they were also surrounded by moleskin huts.

A younger Norway was standing in front of one such hut.

Sweden noticed that the younger Norway look more nervous than he had ever seen him.

Norway was again wearing old Viking clothes but he also had a pale blue earring on as he paced it would float back and forth. A woman came out of the tent she wore what looked like native American clothing fluffy fur surrounded her.

" You are worrying to much. My friend" the woman said

Norway looked up at her.

"Is she okay in there. I heard yells." Norway had almost run into the tent when heard the horrible sounds.

"Life is loud when it comes into world. But I believe it is time for you too enter into that noise now" the woman put her hand on Norway's shoulder. "You look so worried but this is a joyous day?"

Norway glanced into the woman's eyes. "You do not know me. But there are two lives in that tent and once I enter. It will mean something wonderful and something horrible" He said.

"Yes. My dear Foreigner. I do not know who you are or why the north winds brought such strangers here but I know things. Legends of persons who are more that what you see. May I ask if you are more than you seem?" The woman asked.

"I am and so is she." He gestured towards the tent.

"Ah I understand. You can worry about the horrible later but tonight I believe you must cherish the wonderful." The woman whispered.

Norway swallowed nodded to the kind woman and entered the tent. This reveled another native woman laying in a nest of furs holding a child. The child Finland recognized as Vinland.

"Lindane." Norway rushed over to the two. The woman or Lindane reached an arm out as the Nordic reached her. The two embraced.

The Nordics watching let out a gasp as they watched Norway tenderly kiss the woman.

"I could barely wait out there. Are you okay safe?" Norway said brushing a piece of long hair out of the the woman's face. Lindane smile it was an exhausted joyous smile.

"I am fine my love. But look.." she gestured at the child asleep at her side. "This is your son." She smiled as she Norway's face light up with a mixture of fear, love and intense joy.

"He...he is beautiful." He breathed.

"Like his father. You wish to hold him?" She asked.

Norway give her a small nod staring at the small baby. She gently placed the baby into Norway's arms. Norway held him as if the child was glass.

"He is so small." He looked up at Lindane.

"That is true." Lindane rested back into the pile of blankets.

The other Nordics glanced at the Norway Of now. It looked as if he was trying to stop the memory. Finland placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Norway are you?"

The nation eyes looked tired.

"I can't stop it from finishing. I wanted to stop at the happy part." Norway had tried but his emotions were to strong if He stopped the memory now it would make him suppress the magic and they all knew how that would go.

"It's okay we can handle it. Denmark reached out and wrapped Norway in his arm. So they looked back on the memory.

Past Norway was now next to Lindane holding her as she held Vinland.

"Norway my love. Promise me something." She said her voice floating around the room.

"Anything." He answered barley hiding the tears that were springing in his eyes.

"He is but a child. I know your people are leaving this land. You can't take Vinland with you. He won't survive being away from this land. But you my love you are a grown nation it would make you weaken but you could potentially stay here as long as you need to. I can feel myself slipping. My connection is slipping. He is this land's nation now. Please my love protect him at least until he can protect him self." Her voice cracked and she hugged Vinland closer.

Norway was crying now he knew it wouldn't be long for the three lives in the tent became two.

"I will..I won't leave him. I promise Lindane I promise." He kissed her forehead.

There in that tent Norway watched his love breathe her last. He picked Vinland up from her arms. He shook and his hands stroked her hair as he kissed her the last time.

The woman who had helped them walked in her hands covered her mouth in shock.

Norway stood a cold shield of neutral expression came over him.

"Give her a burial of your people." He said. He picked up the few belongings that they had brought when they left for help and walked out of the tent.

The memory faded again revealing the office room and the Nordics half of whom were crying. Norway just had a sad expression of remembrance and regret.

Denmark grabbed Norway's hand.

"What happened to the child Norge. What happened to Vinland?" His voice panicky.

"I can't do this.

Please Fin. Tell them I can't say it" Norway said guilt riddling in voice.

Finland looked down. "Vinland was taken away. It not your fault Norway. You couldn't have stopped them"

"Who w's it" Sweden asked his eyes for once scary because of anger and not misrepresented.

"France and England. They took him. They at first let me stay. They said that as long I didn't turn him against them I would be able to help take care of him. But...But I just was singing him a lullaby it was in My language and they they tried to kick me out. I just grabbed him ran but then.." Norway couldn't finish.

"They took Vinland away they threatened Norway..They hurt him" Finland finished for him a hint of anger crossed into the mans normally sweet voice. "Vinland became Canada" Finland added.

Denmark cursed. And Sweden stood up in shock. Iceland was still crying at the realization that he was probably an uncle.

"I am going to kill them." Denmark said is wasn't a threat but a promise. Norway had a defeated look on his face.

"You can't". He said. "I saw his aura Denmark it was so sad but there no denying Canada loves them." He sunk lower into the chair. "They are his family."

"No we are his family." Iceland remarked. "We will make him understand and then he won't be sad. Okay.?"

"Yes you are right about that Ice." Finland added. But I think for now we need to get him to trust us. He doesn't even know use well enough to just tell him out of the blue"

"You saw h's aura. H'w will he take 's tell'ng h'm?" Sweden asked Norway.

"Fin is right he need to trust us at least a little before we just tell him." Norway said, "His aura is so completely complicated that I am afraid of want he will do."

"I can get him to hangout with us. I friends with Alfred so I just invite him to go get dinner or something with us." Denmark said more focused now that he had a goal.

So the Nordics stood and left ready to go back to the hotel. Norway stayed behind for a moment leaning back in the chair.

"I w'll be right back." Sweden said as he slipped back into the room with Norway.

Norway looked up at him in surprise.

"Sweden?!"

"I need to say someth'ng" Sweden declared.

"Huh?"

"No more h'ding things from us." He commanded. "I don't th'nk Finland's heart could handle any m're secrets. That said. I know you're probably scared so. If you need to t'lk I am here. I won't freak out. And I'll just l'sten."

Norway looked up at him. Seeing the Swede's aura a blazing yellow of worry and honesty. He swallowed

"Okay yeah of course." He said.

With a determined nod the tall man swept out of the room.
