Sorry that I haven't updated in so long! I promise that this will continue. Just the updates will be a bit more sporadic.

Please Review!

I don't own Hetalia. And swears are used, so if you don't like either don't read or skip over those words. Anything in italics is thoughts.

South Korea starred at his lover in disbelief. Granted, he did expect the American to freak out a little bit, but hearing him just reject out right was just too cruel.

America attempted to explain, "I-I just think that it's not a good time to have a child."

South Korea narrowed his eyes and his voice lowered in volume, "Why is it not? There's nothing that's topping us, and the communists you worry about so much aren't going to do anything, if you're still paranoid about them." He added to himself, "Not like they're going to do anything."

America glared at him and gave him his most annoyed and sarcastic voice, "Yeah, well, last time I check, getting my ass handed to me by Vietnam isn't exactly keeping them in check."

The Korean started to lose his temper. "It's not like they're going to do anything! Granted, yes, they have been a little… temperamental recently, but that doesn't mean they're baby killers!"

Just then, America's phone rang from the bedroom. America sighed and turned to his lover, "We'll continue this later."

The angered Korean stalked after him, "Now wait a minute! This is not something-."

Before he could continue, America gripped the Korean's face in between his hands and looked him in the eyes. "We'll talk about it later." He then went to pick up the phone.

South Korea was seething with anger. He picked up his clothes and stormed into the bathroom to take a shower.

X-X-X

South Korea stepped out of the bathroom. He really didn't want to deal with America. He could probably just call both of their bosses for confirmation about the baby, and more than likely they would side with him.

He noticed that America wasn't in the room. He rolled his eyes. Typical him.

Just then, America walked in already dressed. He looked at his boyfriend before quikly looking back at the floor and muttering, "England and Japan are coming over soon."

South Korea starred at him with rage slowly rising to the surface. "This is not the time to have company over, and you know I hate Japan."

It was America's turn to be angered. "It's not like I asked them to come over! My boss decided it was time for a meeting between England and I even though it's my vacation, and Japan so happened to be with England at the time!"

The Korean countered, "That isn't the point! You could have told your boss-."

Just then the dog, Scout, started barking, which was shortly followed by a doorbell. America made a face that looked like he was cursing God for these turn of events. "That…might be them."

South Korea breathed a small sigh before saying. "I'm going to sit in the sun room to think."

He stalked out of the room, leaving America to run to the door to greet his guests. As he opened the door, England and Japan waited with slightly worried looks since they noticed the tense air coming from the house.

"Hey, great timing." America stated, rather sarcastically.

"Did something happen?" England looked at him with a worried expression.

America shook his head nonchalantly. "Nothing much, just South having a little temper tantrum that's all. Isn't that right, sweet heart?"

As America said that, South Korea had about had it with America and his attitude. So he did something that even his twin, North Korea, would think twice about doing. He walked up to his boyfriend, slapped him across the face, gave him the middle finger, and walked away towards the sun room.

England and Japan's mouths were agape in total shock. America winced slightly but tried brushing it off. "How about you guys forget what you just saw and focus on the meeting."

England and Japan hesitantly entered the house. As America motioned for them to sit down, he pulled Japan aside, "Hey, look, I know you two aren't exactly on the best of terms, but maybe you could talk to him?"

Japan looked at him like he was a mad man. "He's going to kill me if I go within 10 feet of him! There's no way I'm going in there!"

England patted his lover's back comfortingly. "Love, I know this probably a bad idea, but I think it's better you talk to him instead of us."

Japan was silent for a few seconds until he sighed uneasily. "I'll see what I can do." He walked off into the kitchen to prepare tea for the two as a "peace offering."

America and England sat down to have their discussion. "So England, what was it you needed to talk about?"

X-X-X

Japan walked towards the sun room, with two mugs of tea and slight fear in his steps. As he peaked inside, he saw a very disgruntled South Korea sitting at a table overlooking the mountains in deep thought. Japan breathed in slowly and asked for permission to enter.

South Korea heard Japan's hesitant voice, though he wasn't exactly wanting company right now. He then thought at least Japan was slightly better company than America, who he was completely frustrated with. He motioned for Japan to enter.

Japan set down the two cups of tea, seeing a slightly grateful look on the Korean's face. Japan positioned himself so that, if need be, he could bolt for the door when the Korean was too angered.

It was silent between the two for a while, until Japan decided to attempt to break the ice. "So… Dare I ask what happened?"

South Korea took a few seconds to answer, having issues still getting used to Japan this close. He eventually mumbled, "I found out I was pregnant today-"

Before he could continue, Japan chocked a bit on his tea due to shock, "Nani?!(1)"

South Korea glared a bit before continuing, "America is against it and wants me to abort it."

Japan was in dual shock. Then a side came out that doesn't show that often: his aggravated side. "He can't just do that to you! You're the one that should be making that choice, not him! Why the hell is he even trying to force you to?!"

South Korea was taken aback by the support he just received from Japan. Since he and him never saw eye to eye on anything, this was rather a shock. "I'm not exactly sure, though it seems to be more about the communists than anything else."

Japan huffed, "Why would he worry about them anyways? Ever since the end of the Vietnam War they've been very mellow. Besides, why would they even care?"

The taller nation shrugged, "I told him that and he still keeps saying it's better not to have it."

Japan was angered beyond belief. "He really shouldn't have a problem with this! I mean, anyone would be happy about that…" The last part seemed like he was also reassuring himself.

South Korea took notice at Japan's sudden change in attitude and decided it was time to probe Japan, "Why would you even bother to give me advice? It's not like you know what I'm going through."

Japan twitled his thumbs nervously, "Well, not exactly…"

-England and America -

England slammed his hands on the table. "Eh!? He's pregnant!?"

America sighed, "Yes, and I don't think we should have it."

England took a few seconds to collect his thoughts, or at least process the information, before he said, "Well, technically this is supposed to be a happy thing. I'm not entirely sure why you aren't happy about this."

America sighed heavily, "Well, there's the communists…"

England shook his head, "America, I understand you just worry for him and his safety, but they haven't really done anything other than Vietnam sending you back home with her paddle. I believe it's relatively safe."

America looked at him with a slightly deadpanned look. "That's because you aren't the main target. Russia and his 'friends' hate me and would love to see me break down. So that means anything close to me is also a target. You and Japan are not only married, but you guys don't have to constantly keep watching your backs."

England sighed, trying to get America to see his side. "America, granted they aren't exactly the most friendly of nations, but I can assure you, that killing a baby that isn't even born yet is way below them. They probably won't even think about that. And if one of them did, I bet they would have to be drunk off their ass to do it, since Yong-Soo is constantly around you or someone, much less would get them in really deep trouble with their bosses. I don't think you would have to worry about them."

America tried refuting, but decided to stay quiet. England breathed deeply knowing he got at least one point across. "Besides, even if I haven't had a child yet with Japan and lack experience raising a child properly, I know commonsense a lot more than you do."

America looked at him with a little envy, "Well, you and Japan have pretty much perfect everything."

England twitched his eyebrows at that, "At least you should be thankful for what is being given to you. Then again I know Japan would tell me first thing just like Yong-Soo did if it happened to him."

-Japan and South Korea-

"What!? You never told him you're pregnant!?" South Korea exclaimed.

Japan flinched slightly at the remark, though it was true. He had been pregnant for over a week, and succeeded in not telling England at all about it. Why he hasn't told him yet was unclear even for him, though it was mostly due to no good time to say it and afraid of what England would say. Hearing how America reacted made his fears grow a little more.

"It's just, kind of worrying for me." Japan said for a loss of words.

South Korea face palmed himself lightly. "Great, while you say America has no right to keep me from having a child, you can't even tell your husband that you're pregnant. Doesn't irony have such a sense of humor."

Japan sighed nervously, "We'll it's kind of a long story…"

Yes I'm ending the chapter here.

I've decided over the long time I didn't update that both of the other pairings, Asakiku and Russia x North Korea will also be given chapters as well. Since "Ballads" is plural I decided to add two other dramas to the story, not only because I thought it would be a bit more interesting, but also because everything else that I had in store for Kimchiburger wouldn't make this story that long. So next chapter will be Japan and England.
