"I'm so sorry Al… I didn't mean to leave my glass of water n the couch."

"Geez Mattie! I thought I went into early labor!" Alfred groaned. "Damn it I thought I was gonna die!"

"Calm down Al! I'll call you later. I have to take Germany to the place and then I'll wait for him to get done with Father Time. But Al… Is it true?"

"Yeah. Gilbert's dying but I know father time can help if he's in a good mood or is convinced. I'll talk to you later. I need to change out these wet pants… the ones your water got wet…"

"Bye, Al!"

Hanging up Alfred sighed and patted his stomach. At lest he wasn't in labor. Picking up the fallen glass he went to change when he looked up in thought. Now that he thought about it… what was England having? A boy or a girl? How far was he along?

Frowning Alfred sat down. He didn't remember being in love with Ivan and he didn't remember anything about them being together but he still held feelings for the other. Tapping his chin Alfred felt like he should dig into this more, but Mattie that he was pissed off at Ivan. But right now he didn't remember any of that so… should he text him?

"Well…" Alfred said to himself. "It's sounds like fun…"

Pulling out his cell phone Alfred scrolled down contacts and ended up smiling a little at the name he had put Ivan under.

"Vanya, huh?" Alfred gave alight laugh and started out a text. "Okay… I might regret this later… here it goes," And he pushed sent.

'Hey, what's up?'

'I'M SORRY!'

Alfred raised an eyebrow. Well, okay. 'I don't remember anything.'

'Alfred, I'm truly sorry. Please call me.'

There was a long pause and Alfred shook his head side to side before shrugging and an Idea hit him. Sure he had no memory but right now he still had feelings for the other. So he sent back a text.

'How about you come over? I'll send you my address and get you cleared into the country.'

The cold air was sting them as they continued on despite the many layers of clothes and all the high-tech in the clothes. Canada was used to it since it was his country but Germany had to stop a few times. After all no human could live this far, and Germany was out of his country. Hard? Yes.

Soon they got to a place where it warmed up suddenly. Well, it was still cold but heaven then what they had just walked through. They waited and soon black and gray swirls circled them and soon a tall figure stood over them. A good fifteen tall black cloak with ragged ends looked at them. A pale face in the hood with a off black blindfold wrapped around the eyes. The Figure may have looked blind but Father Time or some people called him Death was anything but blind.

They got on one knee and placed their hands over their hearts. "Father Time." They both said.

The cloaked figure stood straight again and in a calming eerie voice spoke. "My children, Germany, Canada. What brings you here to me?"

They stood up. Germany stepped forward a little more. "It's about my bruder… East Germany, formerly know as Prussia."

Father time nodded and started to walk in circles around them. "Yes… My little Prussia is nearing his end."

"Father Time… that's why I'm here… Gilbert's dying but it makes no sense. He still has land. East Germany is ruled by me but it's what keeps him alive and who he is now. Why is he dying?"

Father Time continued to walk around them. "He has to die to live. Do you understand?"

"What? How is he going to live once he dies?"

"Prussia's time is almost out, my son. I suggest you spend your last moments with him. Go. He has little time left. Go on now. I have much to do."

"Wait!" Germany called out.

But Father Time was already gone.

Yelling out in angry Germany slammed his firsts on the ground. Canada shivered as the air got colder now that the Father Time was gone. Shivering again Canada helped Germany up and held the other right arm and slowly away form the freezing cold.

This was exciting at first. Now Alfred began to wonder about his plan to met with Russia. Probably not one of his best ideas. Leaning back Alfred patted his stomach as he held stomach and rubbed it a few times. The baby had been kicking lately.

Feeling the baby kick again Alfred sighed. Any second the Russian would be here and what was he going to say? What could he say? Why did he think this was a good idea again? Oh, right it wasn't. It was a bad idea!

"Then… why do I want to see him so badly?" Alfred whispered.

Closing his eyes Alfred started to drift off into sleep when a sudden knock jolted him up. Carefully Alfred got up. Wobbling a little to the door he peeked through. Sure enough there was a distressed looking Ivan out there looking like it might have been a joke.

Moving back Alfred unlocked the door. "Hey… Ahh!"

Wrapping his arms around the smaller nation Ivan held him close as his heart ach and yet felt amazing at holding Alfred in his arms again. Kissing the top of his head Ivan kept his eyes closed and only relaxed when two arms rested on his sides.

"I can't breath…" Alfred gasped.

Letting go a little Ivan looked down. "I know that you don't remember but I am truly sorry. I wish I could take what happened back…"

"Uh… yeah, I heard you knocked up England. I haven't called him and all but Mattie filled me in. So… we're engaged…" Alfred said slowly.

"We are?"

"What the hell! There's a ring on my finger if I'm not engaged to you then who!"

Wincing at the loud voice Ivan almost felt his ear bleed. "No! No, it's just I thought you wouldn't want to be anymore-"

"Well I wouldn't know. I kind got drugged and ding dong I ain't remembering nothing. I just know that you knocked me up. So… take care of it."

"You want me to kill the baby?"

"What? No! I want you to take care of me until I have the baby. For example… I can't lift a lot of stuff right now. I pretty much can't leave this penthouse and Mattie has to help Germany and other countries now since I'm not opening my boarder."

This confused Ivan until he realized something. "Are you…?"

"Yep. Six months… I'm as weak as a human and could die like one if something happens to me."

That was right. Alfred was now six month which meant that the body would change and his power gone until after he had the baby. When a nation child was born from a nation that nation's body became weak as a human which was dangerous. It could get you killed.

"I will stay and help you. I want to show that I still lover you Alfred."

Smiling a little Alfred wobbled to a chair and sat down. "I wish I could say I love you, Ivan. But I don't remembering being in love with you."

"…Da… I understand."

Behind Alfred's back was a gun. One he was depending on.

The water was warm. The perfect kind to take a bath in, and the salts made it more relaxing. Filling it up Ludwig added some more salts. The door was open and outside the door where the room was sat Canada in a chair by the bed.

On the bed was Gilbert. Still alive but weaker. The Albino had refused to eat the last day and a half so they two nations had forced a feeding tube to keep him alive. Gilbert had cried soundlessly. Only eyes and sometimes those dim red eyes looked at them begging.

It was too much for the younger brother and he took out the feeding tube. Now all the was left was to make Gilbert comfortable. So the bath was being drawn. When it was done Matthew excused himself to call his brother.

Gilbert looked at his brother as the other undressed him. "Hi…"

It was weak but Gilbert wanted to talk to him. Ludwig looked up at him and smiled and continued to get rid of the clothes until the Albino was ready for the bath. Lifting him up without a problem he carried his poor brother and set him in the bathtub.

"There you are, bruder. This will make you feel a little better."

Gilbert tried to pull up some more words but his strength left him again. Though as nice as it was bing papered it scared the hell out of him. It wasn't like he was stupid. No, Gilbert knew just what was happening and so did his friends and his brother.

Now Gilbert never wanted to admit it but he was scared out of his mind. Father Time or Death as he would call him since he would be here for him soon. Maybe tonight, tomorrow, a week, but he knew he was going to die.

Closing his eyes Gilbert wished he didn't have to die. Didn't have to worry about this but it was happing and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

"Let's go, Gilbert."

Blinking Gilbert found himself wrapped up in a warm blanket. Great he must have passed out again. After being dried off and dressed in his favorite sleeping clothes. There was something wrong here. Gilbert knew it. Something was off. Yep, Ludwig had put the pajama bottoms on too… he hated to wear them. The shirt was long enough. Off! He wanted them off!

"…o-off…"

"You'll get cold." Ludwig said as he propped up his brother. "You'll be warmer like that."

"… o…o-ff…of-"

"Ja… okay, I'll take them off. But you'll wear socks instead." Ludwig said slowly.

Feeling a little happy Gilbert let himself be redressed. Not like had had a choice any way. Feeling more comfortable Gilbert got a surprise. Ludwig took hi hand and squeezed it gently.

"I invited your friends to come over. Francis and Antonio. You can spend the day with them… and tomorrow just us. DO you know what tomorrow is, bruder?"

Slowly shaking his head Gilbert wondered with the tired look in his eyes. His mouth opened but nothing came out.

Smiling a little sadly Ludwig patted his head and kissed his forehead. "Your birthday."

Managing a small smile Gilbert slipped back into sleep. This time it was strangely comfortable. Feeling covers on Him Gilbert sighed happily.

"I'll be in Germany all day tomorrow. Should I call someone to watch over you well I'm gone?"

"Francis it's only one day. I'll be fine in my own home for a day." Arthur sighed. "Why do you need to go to Germany's house?"

"I'm visiting Gilbert."

Watch the French nation finish packing his suitcase and then got two bottles of win Arthur frowned. The other had been drinking a lot lately as the other man go the car packed and lucky that he put the bottles in the trunk Arthur feel better.

Waving the other good bye Arthur turned and went back into his house. Rubbing his back to ease the pressure Arthur sighed. Going off to the kitchen to make some tea Arthur sighed and picked up his phone to see if anyone had called. Nothing was there. Sighing again Arthur poured the water into the tea leaves letting them set before draining the leaves and putting them into the sink he blew the steam coming up for a few minutes before taking a sip.

Walking up to the stairs slowly Arthur stopped and blinked. He swore he saw something. Blinking he looked up again. Nothing was there. Ah, he must have been tired from today. Walking up slowly since he was almost six months now. Getting to the top of the stairs he groaned a little. This child was a little monster. Kicking all the time!

Going to his bedroom since it was eight when Francis left and now almost twenty minutes later Arthur was just ready to go to bed and sleep in. If the baby would let him. Once inside Arthur rummaged through his closet looking for a good soft night shirt to sleep in or at lest one that fit.

Getting one he quickly too off his clothes and slipped the other clothing on Arthur yawned a little and then walked to his bed. Turning off the light Arthur laid down and started to drift off to sleep he heard something.

Blinking he paused and listened again. Another noise. Sitting up Arthur slipped his hand under the pillow and his hand gripped onto a small gun. Holding it he got out of bed and slowly started to walk to his bedroom door.

Going out to the hallway he saw something move. Going closer he stopped and looked down. There on the top step was a little note. Looking around and then carefully going down he picked it up. On it was two words.

'Behind you.'

Turning around Arthur screamed too see a large figure there and his hand was on a bat. When the person moved Arthur took a step back. The fall shocked him for a moment until the hit of the stairs and tumbling until he hit the floor with a harsh thud. The figure walked slowly down the stairs and paused before leaving out the door, but closing it so no one would notice.
