I do not own Hetalia okay? I don't honestly have that much to say with this chapter so enough of this A/N, on with the fic!

November 17th 1918

(from the diary of Alfred F. Jones)

Well Nattie finally left. I had gone to sleep for a little while there. It's still rather cold and I can't breathe too well, but I will get through this. I want to see Vanya again and I have to walk Anya down the isle when she does finally find a guy. No freaking flu is going to stop me. Besides, Katy won't let Nattie back in here until I am better. I do hope that she is still finding a warm place to sleep herself. She's too good a mother and wife to have to suffer because I had gotten sick. That and I would burst out here and tell her the good news because I had read the mail she had left. We will see Vanya again, they say his ship should be in on the 30th of December. His birthday! God I have to do something for him. Well I would if I could just freaking get up more than to write this. I have it on the nightstand by the bed so the next time Katy or Nattie check up on me, they can see it too. God I cannot wait for the day. I have to get better soon. Besides I think I am the only one strong enough to get him on the trolley. It's a long walk to the pier. And I won't let that injury make him feel less than he should.

I want to see the kids again. God it may be a few days since Mr. Seward took me home from work but this is getting too much. I know Nicky isn't going to be too happy. I had promised him to play catch in the backyard before it got too cold. He will only really do that when he can't swim. But the fact that this flu has my sister in law keeping my wife and children from me so they don't get it sucks. I mean yeah, I wouldn't wish it on anyone but those bastards that shelled his ambulance in the first place. Those krauts can die or like Nattie says she would do, skin them alive and spread all her pickling salts on their skins. I swear if someone only saw that from her, they wouldn't get why she is my love and why she is such a good mother but she is.

I just wish I could see Vanya right now and tell him that. He was the one who introduced me to her and said it was okay to marry her. I mean yeah it may be a silly tradition but since there was no dad to ask, he was the closest male relative she had. And he was actually quite happy, like some grand plan of his had come to fruition or just that one of his sisters has a good husband, if I may say I am so myself. But I will not die to this. I won't. I have to bring Vanya home!

So how was that? Good? Bad? Short? Long? Let me know in a review. I am planning on having some of everyone's back story to this point here a little too, so while being a spin-off it gives a nice background here too. Anyway remember to read (well you just did) and review. Ciao for now,
