An: Here´s the last chapter, it is not very long and I hope you understand that since I said it in the beginning of the story.

I also wanted to say that I wanted to get this out today because of the happenings in Stockholm. I wanted to give a chapter today in condolence to those that have lost people or those that are fighting for their lives. Even if the chapter is not connected to the happenings I still wanted to do something for my fellow countrymen today. Since I'm not able to go to Stockholm myself.

Seablue: Sweden, the disclaimer if you will?

Sweden: Of course, Seablue eyes does not own Hetalia, she can only claim to be a Swedish citizen nothing else.

Chapter 3 A nation and his citizens

Everyone was once again in Sweden's house England and France was talking to each other in low voices about what no one knew. Sealand was laying on the couch sleeping soundly, exhausted after the eventful day. Finland had laid a blanket over him and was sitting beside him the micronation's head in his lap. Norway, Denmark and Iceland was sitting on the other couch while Sweden was in an armchair. The north America twins was sitting on the floor both in thought. After a couple of minutes France and England had come to some sort of conclusion and England turned to Sweden asking him

"Have you told your citizens about nations?"

"No." Was the stoic nations answer.

"Then why did that girl knew how you were?" England became a little miffed, he was sure that the girl had known about the nation.

"You asked if I had told my citizens, and I have not, only some of the people living in the village since they have noticed the different behaviour from our side and I trust them. Many of them do not think it is anything strange anymore."

"Anymore? They thought so first?"

"Yes, it is a rather strange concept for humans. But everyone has come to terms with it and I can tell you that everyone I have talked to has accepted the truth and kept the secret."

"No problems?"

"No, not as such. Some people have had a hard time sometimes but everyone has accepted it in the end. Like you know many people feel safety with their nations and this is no exception from that. In this village everyone knows about our family and I guess that after today they knew you are nations as well, just not which one."

At this England and France looked horrified. They had both once told some of their citizens about their secret but that had not gone well and after that they had vowed to never tell anyone else apart from those that had always known like monarchs and bosses. Now had their world changed and they had thought the Nordic nation was of the same mind since he was just as old as them but now that had also changed.

They looked towards the other Nordics but they seemed to be of similar mind as their brother nation and when England looked towards his sons he was met with confused looks.

"Why are ya upset Iggy?"

"Because it is important for us to keep our secret. To tell humans about it could be disastrous."

The brothers looked just as confused but Canada said

"But I have a similar situation at home. It would be impossible for me to live where I do if I had not told some of the people. They had started wondering about me when I didn´t age and looked the same throughout the years."

America was nodded and agreed with his brother. He had the same agreement with his people and it was not like they had told the entire populace just a few people living in their proximity.

"But, but…" England did not know what to say and France was of a similar mind but he did not know what to say.

"Then how do you do it?" This was asked by Norway, he was intrigued by his neighbouring country and his reactions to this revelation.

"I move every once in a while. And I leave the apartment in London for some years before I return when the people knowing me has moved out."

All the others thought this was much more job and harder, it looked even more suspicious and risky of someone would recognize him.

"Well if that works for you than continue on." Iceland said, not really caring about the topic and made it known when he went over to Finland and the sleeping micronation and scoped him up in his arms announcing he would take the child to his bed. This seemed to be the que for the others as well since they agreed with him.

"It is late, we should go to bed and talk again tomorrow." Finland said in his best mothervoice, like the other Nordics had dubbed it, and nobody argued with him when he used it. Then he turned to their guests

"We have a guestroom that you can use England and France and we have a foldout bed in Sealand's room if you want to take that, America, Canada?" All of them nodded and Sweden showed the two older nations to the guestroom while Finland took the younger ones to Sealand's room helping them folding out the bed. Once they were dressed and had taken place he hesitated before tucking them in and then closing the door as quiet as he could.

Left was the two nations whom was wondering about the Finnish nation's behaviour. But they did not come up with any explanation and soon drifted off to sleep.

The next morning dawned with a shining sun and birds chirping. It seemed like it would be a calm morning, which was soon broken when a childish yell came and soon a crash and an older voice yelling when that child collided with the older person. Sealand was happy and hugging America whom was still tired and wanted to sleep but it was hard when the excited child had jumped on him. Canada was also trying to sleep a little more, his head pressed under his pillow trying to keep the sound out. But soon Finland was in the door opening smiling.

"Breakfast is ready if you want to get up."

"Five more minutes." Came from the nation under the pillow and America trying to keep Sealand of his body while laying down in the bed.

Finland just smiled and helped Sealand of America and took the micronation with him. But after laying down again America was wide awake and not able to go back to sleep. He put on his clothes, irritated Canada awake also and went down to the kitchen. It was occupied by a small part of the family, Sweden was sitting by the table reading the newspaper and occasionally taking a sip from his coffee cup. Finland was by the stove flipping pancakes and Sealand was standing beside him, looking longingly at the already made stack of pancakes beside the stove.

"Hyvää huomenta." Finland said and Sweden looked up giving a greeting as well

"God morgon."

America greeted them as well and looked towards the pancakes but sat down by the table. Soon the rest of the people started dropping in and taking place by the table. England and France was last and they were rather quiet. Everyone ate during silence mostly because the larger part of the group was still half asleep. When they were done and Finland together with Sealand and Iceland started clearing the table, England turned to Sweden.

"I wanted to say sorry for my behaviour yesterday. It was not right to criticise your choice. I also wanted to say that I have a bad experience with telling people about our status and it is the reason for my strong emotions."

Sweden just nodded and said "I understand and I know that different countries do differently in this and it is not many that want to entrust our secret to people. Just keep in mind that some things that work for you may not work for others."

England just nodded and reached out his hand to the tall nation. The shook hands and the tension that had been in the room dispersed some. The rest disappeared when Sealand dragged Denmark, America and Canada with him out through the door forcing them to play with him.

The rest of the day was spent together just talking and playing together. Then the time came when they had to leave and Sealand was most disappointed but when he got a promise from America to come and visit some he became much happier. Sweden and Finland looked after them once the car continued disappearing down the road and Finland sighed where he was inside his husbands embrace.

"Do you think they will remember sometime?" He asked the taller nation.

"Sometime, I think that after their exposure to their old traditions will help jog their memory. If not we wait a year, next midsummer we will celebrate it like a family." Was the Swede's calm answer. He looked at the empty road remembering an old journey and meeting two small boys that they had not gotten the chance to raise like they had wanted to.

An: For those wondering, yes, my headcannon is that Sweden and Finland is the parents of America and Canada since the Vikings was the first people to reach the new continent.
