Tears of a sunflower

Chapter 33

 You woke up to your hair being pulled and a strange weight on your chest. You opened your eyes and giggled, Baby England was two inches away from your face, pulling your hair and poking your cheek in an effort to wake you up. 

 "Hey wanker, get up. I'm hungry and someone rang the doorbell a minute ago."

  You shot up, startling the poor little guy. You picked him up and ran out the bedroom door. "Why didn't you wake me up Iggy? It's probably Ivan with the baby stuff; I forgot to give him a key." You asked while clomping down the stairs, being careful not to fall or drop England. 

 "I tried to, you sleep like a rock and I can only do so much being a baby and all. Why didn't you set an alarm or something?"

  "I forgot, I was tired from the pranks yesterday."

     At this point you had made it to the door, you paused for a moment to catch your breath and straighten your clothes a little. You were still in pajamas since you didn't have a chance to change. You adjusted England on your shoulder so you would have a free hand and opened the door. You gasped and hid, outside the door was Belarus.

  "H-hi Belarus, do you need something? Ivan isn't here right now if you're looking for him." 

 She glared at your face peeking out from behind the door and asked "May I come in please, we need to talk for a moment and I know you're holding a child? I do not intend to hurt you but I will if you anger me." 

 You opened the door and she walked in, looking around at the decor as her hair swished behind her.

 "Would you like something to drink or eat?" 

 "Nyet, I do not intend to stay long. Please sit on the couch so we may talk." 

 You did as she said, not wanting to anger the girl into hurting you. You didn't really like being ordered around in your own house but you knew what Belarus was capable of. You sat England on your lap, wrapping your arms around him as if to protect him.

"So, what do you want to talk about?"

"My brother. I am aware that you and he have now become an item and I wish to tell you my opinion on the matter." 

 Your eyes widened, Belarus was always full on in love with Ivan and you didn't think your dating was going to go over well with her. She didn't seem to have that murderous gleam in her eyes that she usually had when someone was near Russia so you relaxed a little. 

 "I have always loved brother, regardless of the countless rejections he gave me. Before he met you he was severely depressed, as you may know. When you both met he became far happier, stopped cutting himself and started socializing more. I was glad for his happiness although the cause was not one I was happy for. The past few days when I have seen him, he has been overjoyed. I have uncovered that you were the reason for this and I have decided to give up on my futile attempts to marry brother."

 "Re-really? You aren't going to murder me for dating him? What made you decide this, not that im complaining?"You asked, trying to conceal your relief. 

 She nodded, a small smile appearing when Baby England pulled your hair. 

 "Hey, you're not a real baby you know, you can't just do that for no reason."

 "I have a reason, im bored and hungry."

 Belarus was looking at the small child with a strange look in her eyes. 

 "Ugh, I'll get you some cereal but you need to stay in here. Belarus would you mind holding him? I'll only be a minute and he SHOULD behave, seeing as he isn't a real baby."
