Disclaimer: I do not own Hetalia

For those wondering the kids are now older; about 9 months old. I aged them so quickly simply because it is hard for me to write characters who are only old enough to eat, sleep, get sick, get fussed over and cry. Sorry if that saddens you…

Hope you enjoy!

Entry 19

Both England and Papa were in the area yesterday, so they decided to come visit us. While they we here, Papa naturally had to ask if Prussia and I had any plans for tomorrow; Valentine's Day. I was honest and said "no." I've been pretty busy lately between taking care of the kids, work, and keeping all of my appointments and Fritz's appointments in order; I had completely forgotten that tomorrow was Valentine's Day!

When Papa, the self-proclaimed country of love, heard this he turned pale and left his mouth open. This lasted for a good two minutes, and I was beginning to worry until he suddenly snapped out of it and yelled, "How could you forget the day of love? I had thought that I raised you better. But, if that's the case then it cannot be helped," he then pointed at Prussia who gave him a deer-in-the-headlights look as he continued, "Gilbert, you have a very important mission! Tomorrow you are to take my petite Mathieu on a long romantic date to celebrate such a glorious day!"

I wasn't exactly upset with the idea of a date, it did sound relaxing, but if we went on a date what would we do if the kids? When I asked Papa this, he simply said that he and England would watch them. England didn't seem too happy about being dragged into Papa's ideas, but he said he would anyways when Fritz crawled over to where he and Papa were sitting and held up his arms; wanting to be picked up. Has he always been such a softly when it came to little kids?

So soon today came. I decided to make Prussia's favorite for breakfast; pancakes drenched in maple syrup, and after waking him up brought down the kids for their breakfast. Breakfast was pretty cute. The kids have recently started to babble. Regina's voice when she does this is too adorable; she'll have a really cute voice. As for Fritz, his sickness sort of stops him from babbling as much as his sister, because after a few moments of babbling he'll have a coughing fit which wears him out for a while. I wish I knew how to help him with that, but right now all I can do is try to stop some of the pain from the fits.

So the reason breakfast was cute was because while we were all eating, when one of them would begin to babble Prussia would turn to them and try getting the child to say "Vati" or "Mutti." I guess he hasn't realized yet that their still too young for that. It was kind of funny though, because instead of saying the word they would giggle at him.

Papa, England and came over as we were finishing breakfast and played with the kids while Prussia and I cleaned up. After that, I told them along with giving England a list of times saying when they should be fed, when they should have their nap, when Fritz should have what medicine, and several numbers in case something went wrong; Prussia's and my cell phone numbers were also there in bold so that they saw it. When I was certain that they understood the directions, the two of us said goodbye to our kids and we left the house for our date. As we reached my car, I heard Regina begin to cry and would have rushed back inside if Prussia didn't instead drag me into the car, lock the door and start down the driveway like he was in a race.

For the date, Prussia decided to first take me shopping where we ended up picking a few more things for the kids and some stuff for the next time we have a while alone. By the time we were tired of this, he decided to take me to an ice-skating rink. I enjoyed it, I've always loved ice-skating and I can't wait until our kids are old enough to learn how to also. Prussia was decent, but it was obvious that I was better at it than him. We did this for about two hours, then stopped and had some hot chocolate to warm up.

By the time we were done with our hot chocolate, it was getting close to dinner time, so we ended up having an early dinner. The restaurant Prussia took me to was very nice and we had a fun time there. In all, it was a really good day!

After dinner, we went back home to see how the two of them had done with the kids. We found Papa cleaning up from their dinner, Fritz trying to get his sister's attention, and England talking to his imaginary friends while Regina watched the air he was talking to intently. The floor around them was covered with toys and other such things.

By then they had realized that we were back and greeted us. Both Prussia and me picked up a kid and asked them what they did all day. Papa came into the room and explained that first the two of them cried their eyes out for a half hour, passed out, then after their nap they played with their toys and them for a while. Then they had lunch, another nap time and after wards continued playing.

When Papa got to this point, England had stopped talking with his imaginary friends and turned to us. When he did this, Regina started squirming in my arms, pointed to the air around England and yelled, "Ba-E! Ba-E!" I have no idea what a 'Ba-E' is.

Papa then asked us what we did today, and I told him. He seemed okay with what we did, and later that evening left; saying that if we ever needed a babysitter again to give them a call. I guess that means that the four of them had fun, which makes me a little more relieved about having the two of them spend their Valentine's day like that.

The kids passed out before their bed time, which made my life easier, and Prussia and I spent the rest of our evening together.

With maple syrup,

Happy valentine's day and please review!
