"What a big girl~" Ladonia cooed at his daughter who squealed loudly and proudly waving her chubby arms as she sat up perfectly still. It was her third attempt but she was firm now and determined, much like her father, and it brought a smile to Ladonia's face. "Such a big girl, you're turning into~"

"Erland?" Ladonia looked up feeling his chest lightly throb at Sealand's distressed face, something it's been doing the past two months as the Sealander remained there. He never left but they never talked about that fight and it was like all avoidance of it was spoke of and agreed upon. "I need to talk with you."

"Why? You want to break up, fine, do it now and not alone. It's better than doing it that way at least." Ladonia sniffed staring at his daughter then who stared up curiously with large blue eyes and he stroked her soft strands of golden-red hair on her head. She giggled reaching up grabbing his fingers and inserted them in her mouth gnawing on them happily.

"I don't want to break up." Sealand said with confidence in his tone and Ladonia felt his lashes lower as he stared at Helena chewing on his fingers, eyes shining with happiness then."I really hate the idea of it but you need to understand something and that is this- I did not sleep with Latvia."

"Peter-" Ladonia sighed standing up twisting to face the blonde when hands grabbed his face and pressed their lips together in a soft but short kiss as he held onto Sealand's shirt in surprise. He blinked during the kiss, eyes wide and when they broke apart his cheeks were a bright red as Sealand laughed.

"I love you so so so much, Erland! Don't you get that? No one other than you do I love so much on this planet!" Sealand cheerfully stated as he clunked his forehead against Ladonia making him wince as he then looked up through his lashes at Sealand. He was blushing hard at the proximity when Sealand sighed out softly. "I would never touch Latvia like that, whether he has feelings for me or not. I love you and that's that."

"It can't just be like that!" Ladonia blurted pulling away with a red face and fidgeting when he bent and scooped of Helena who gurgled cheerfully. She seemed rather pleased at being picked up and she curled her pudgy arms around Ladonia's neck happily holding on. She was so much like Sealand that Ladonia nearly melted at the sweetness of his daughter. "Loving ju-just me! Everyone loves but as a friend or something! You have to be in-in love for it work! For all I know is you love me as-as a friend!"

Sealand stared at Ladonia then smiled softly, knowingly at the micro-nation who held the baby to his chest making her blow soft raspberries into his shirt. He smiled warmer and held a hand out and cupped the side of Ladonia's face. "I don't love you as a friend, Erland. You know that! I wouldn't have a baby with a friend! I wouldn't run away with a friend like I did! Well, maybe, but I went with you so easily!"

"So are you saying you're in love with me?" Ladonia questioned as the fiery heat in his cheeks continued burning and his breath stilled in his chest when Sealand laughed and stepped closer and moved his arm around his waist softly. He enjoyed the proximity and so did Helena when she squealed happily and openly, wiggling her little legs with joy.

"And if I am? Will you stop pushing me away and know I'd never do anything to hurt you like I did when I left?" Sealand asked as he looked down at Ladonia, surprised he'd grown a few inches, but Ladonia was blushing. He just barely couldn't handle the blonde lashes framing those warm blue eyes and he fidgeted. "Erland?"

"If you are..." He started hesitantly then looked down squeezing Helena lightly to his chest."If you are in love with me then I'll-I'll stop pushing you away. And-And start tru-trusting you more."

"Then, Erland?" Sealand looked at Ladonia who looked at him with a small noise as his cheeks burned and Sealand smiled brightly. "I'm in love with you. So stop pushing me away and start letting me in. Okay?"

Ladonia felt that if his face could get any hotter it would at that moment. He was sure he was as red as a tomato but he couldn't help himself as he made a soft noise and wiggled with Helena staring up at him with eyes that were identical in their bright shade of blue as her father. He took a deep breath and let it out lightly.

"Okay."

"Dude! Look at how big she is!" America exclaimed with laughter as he swung Helena around making her screech with laughter and smile while flapping her arms. She was such a cutie~

"I know!" Sealand chirped happily as he watched America swing his daughter around and Ladonia had the eyes of a hawk on him. "Where's England?"

"In the living room with Alex~" America cooed then rubbed his cheek against Helena's making her laugh. "You are going to love your cousin~ Oh! Did you go see Finland?"

"Yup!" Sealand beamed at America who smiled nodding. He'd gone to his little sister's birthday party, now one year old, and was well on her way to walking and talking perfectly like a little cutie she was and he was happy to have seen her.

"Good! So go in and see Iggy, kiddo!" America said cheerfully placing Helena on his hip with ease as Sealand walked past him into the house and America caught sight of the ring on Ladonia's ring hand on his right hand. "What's that?"

"Ah!" He felt his cheeks softly burn as he covered his hand then looked down sheepishly and shuffle. "It's a-a promise ring Peter gave me."

"A promise ring?" America said much to loud when England shouted asking about what promise ring and America grabbed Ladonia dragging him in and slammed the door, Helena gurgling softly on his hip happily. He dragged the red head to England and smiled at the blushing Micro nation.

"Who has a promise ring?" England question with a narrowing of his green eyes and America yanked up Ladonia's right hand up and shows the silver band on his right ring finger. England's eyes widened gently as he took in sight of the band and then looked at Sealand's hand and noticed an identical band on Sealand's right hand. "Oh my god."

"It's-It's not like it's an engagement ring!" Sealand said in a laughing tone waving his hand as England looked at him with all the intensity of an elder brother and Sealand felt his cheeks burning. "It's-It's not a big deal!"

"It completely is!" England all but shrieked with narrowing eyes as he jabbed Sealand in the chest despite him just being an inch taller. "You're too young for that stuff!"

"I am not!" Sealand protested his cheeks still red and he crossed his arms. "I'm fifty years old! I had a baby with him! I'm not too young! It's not like I'm getting married!"

"Same difference!" England sniffed planting his hands on his hips and Sealand had never felt more like a little brother than he ever had in that instant. "Peter Kirkland, what is going through that head of yours?"

"Um, taking care of Ladonia? And-And Helena?" He replied in a lightly wavering voice as he fidgeted softly with his fingers twirling together as he stuttered. He bit his lip softly as he smiled lightly as he looked at England from under his lashes.

"I think it's fine, baby." America mused then making England whirl on him with flames in his eyes. "I mean I can see why they got promise rings to begin with! If we did this the right way we probably would've been wearing promise rings first!"

"Still they are too young! How does Finland feel about it?" England demanded planting his hands on his hips and Sealand lightly poked his finger tips together nervously and Ladonia was suddenly very interested in looking down at his shoes and it was the answer England needed. "I'm calling Finland, at least someone will care enough!" He threw his hands up then walked out of the room to his home phone and Sealand sighed. This was going to be a long visit.

"I can't believe he did that!" Sealand groaned when they entered their home, Helena sleeping against her mother's hip softly with even, cute baby breathes. He ran into the living room then flopped onto the couch as Ladonia walked after him and placed Helena in her play pen.

"I know." Ladonia sighed as he rubbed his now bare right ring finger and frowned softly. He didn't say it out loud but he'd liked the feel of the ring on his finger and knowing it was Sealand that put it on him. He looked at Sealand then sat next to his hand and, hesitantly, began to stroke his hair softly noting at how the blonde locks were softer than he remembered. "It's not the end of the world though."

"It isn't but still! It was the one way to prove I'm not going anywhere!" Sealand whined then looked up with his huge blue eyes and Ladonia smiled softly at him as he looked back at him and sighed out then blinked a few times. "What? That's what you do when you're thinking, what're you thinking?"

"Well if I can't wear it on my finger then who says I can't wear it on a necklace chain?" Ladonia asked when Sealand jerked up into a full sitting position and grabbed Ladonia's hands and interlocked their fingers and squeezed Ladonia's hands softly. His eyes glowed with the idea and he grinned crookedly but widely making Ladonia smile softly at the blonde and he happily let his hands rest palm to palm with Sealand's.

"If I buy you a chain will you actually wear it around your neck?" Sealand asked squeezing Ladonia's hands again as the other nodded and yawned lightly as he did so and squeezed his hands back groggily. "Awesome!"

"I know." Ladonia said in a little slow voice and he then blinked slowly when Sealand leaned in and kissed him softly. He even relaxed into the kiss rather happily as he did so and closed his eyes softly kissing Sealand back, his heart giving a little tiny throb of sweetness when Sealand stood up and pulled Ladonia with him. "Where are we going?"

"Upstairs~" Sealand playfully crooned as he held both of Ladonia's hands and dragged him to the stairs smiling widely as his blue eyes winked at him as bright and playful as an angels in a devil's face. Ladonia felt his stomach drop excitedly and fill his veins with warmth and he fought the urge to squeal as he was pulled towards the stairs and he followed like a magnet to it's polar opposite. He walked up stairs with Sealand and squeezed his hand excitedly as they sped up just a bit and though they were in the bodies of teenagers now, not young preteens, the desire and arousal were much easily triggered like now.

"Oh upstairs you say!" Ladonia finally got out grinning when they got to the top of the stairs and he was being pulled to their bedroom. "And what of our child?"

"She'll be fine sleeping in her play pen~" Sealand said shoving their bedroom door open and smirking widely yanking Ladonia in suddenly making him yelp and shut the door. "Trust me, she's five months old! There's not much she can really do quite yet so we'll be fine~"

"You're so stupid~" Ladonia playfully replied when he was shoved onto the bed and the blonde climbed on top of him and settled down comfortably. Their bodies clicked like missing spaces on each other and they both smiled when Sealand rolled onto his side and tucked the red head in to his side and he shouldered his head on the pillow while Ladonia did the same on his shoulder. He then smiled when he closed his eyes and laughed when Ladonia slapped his stomach and he nuzzled his forehead happily.

"Nap time~" Sealand sang making Ladonia roll his eyes lightly as he stretched out yawning softly again and he settled happily into the mattress and against Sealand, curling an arm around the blonde's waist happily.

"Mhmm." Ladonia murmured as he closed his eyes yawning once more and he breath in the soft, salty scent that always seemed to cling to Sealand and he smiled. Though he did want to have sex with the Sealander he would take a nap time any time of the day. And besides, who wouldn't take the offer of a nap? Naps were the absolute best!
