The Son

by Elly194

The day after the first world war ended was when Germnay adopted a baby named Israel as his son and came to love him as his own, to his brother's chagrin. The boy grows up as a Jew, but the time of the Holocaust is approching. Can Germnay proetct his son or will he be one of the Six Million? Whose side is Prussia on? And who is Israel's actual father that left him on the doorstep?

12. Ally

After the Sabbath ended Israel introduced his father to the rabbi. The rabbi shook the German nations hand and smiled saying, "it's very good to meet you, sir, Aviel has told us a lot about you."

"Positives, I hope?" Said Germany with a slight smiled down to his boy, who smiled meekly. The rabbi chuckled and nodded.

"Positives, only positives," he assured him, "you're welcome to come back at any time. Even if you're not Jewish, we'd be happy to have you here."

Germany nodded and after bidding the rabbi goodbye he grabbed his son's hand and exited the synagogue. Israel nervously scooted close to his father who gripped his hand and assured him, "not to worry, Israel, the Nazis aren't going to come back again, and even if they do I wont let them near you."

Israel, with regained confidence nodded and stood up tall. His father led him down the synagogue stairs however almost the second they stepped foot onto the pavement there came a cry of, "Hey, Germany! HA HA HA!"

"Oh damn," muttered the German nation and Israel arched a curious eyebrow as a nation ran up to his father. He was tall, but not as tall as his father, he wore glasses a bomber jacket with a star on it and a rather goofy smile.

"America," said Germany curtly, "what are you doing here?"

Israel looked up curiously at this America and his eyes widened with realization when he realized that this was one of the dreaded Allies that his father had warned him about. He let out a small peep before ducking behind his father. America opened his mouth to answer Germany's question however Israel's cry caused him to glance at the boy. His goofy smile became gentle and he crouched down in front of the boy. Israel peeked out nervously from behind his father. Germany debated as to whether not he should tell the boy it was okay, on one hand America wasn't much of threats and he didn't think he would hurt the boy but on the other hand he was one of the Allies, and the Allies had humiliated him and were still hurting him economically.

America crouched down in front of the boy, tilting his head to the side curiously. He clicked his tongue and reached into his jacket, pulling out a piece of candy (because he being America naturally always had candy with him) and offering it to the boy.

"Hey, it's okay little buddy, I wont hurt you," he assured him. Aviel peeked out curiously and at seeing the candy in the man's hand blinked with surprise. He looked curiously up at his father as if to ask whether not he should take it. Germany pursed his lips but then nodded, it had been a very long time since Aviel had had candy (though, he thought with a clench of the fists, that was mostly America and his allies' fault.)

After getting his father's permission Israel quickly grabbed the candy and started sucking on it, his eyes widening and his golden spheres shining with glee. America chuckled and said, "there, that's much bet..."

However his eyes widened with realization as he got a closer look at the boy and he gasped, " Jacob...?"
