My Little Girl

They didn't know

"Amelia stay still for me please love."

Amelia kept moving in her seat as England tried to brush her hair.

"But Daddy your taking too long." She said back.

"I'm almost done love. I know this is the 3rd time but I'm almost done."

She tried staying still but just couldn't. "Why are we taking pictures ?"

"So France and I can take it them with us to war and we can look at it everyday."

Amelia stayed quiet for awhile. She didn't want England and France to leave.

She didn't want them to go to war. She wanted them to stay.

"Daddy" she said slowly while England finished her hair.

The tone of her voice told him that something was wrong. He kneed down in front of her.

"Yes love ?"

Amelia felt tears running down her face as she struggled to say the words. "Why do you and Papa have to go to war ? Why can't you stay ?"

England didn't know how to answer her. He didn't want to go to war. He didn't want to fight against his boyfriend. He didn't want to leave his children.

Before he knew it he was also crying. He took a deep breath. "Amelia I don't want to go love. But something happened and France's and my country got involved and now we have to go."

"It's not fair. I want you to stay. Please don't go please don't. Stay with me." Amelia said crying even more.

"I wish I could, poppet." He wiped his and Amelia's tears but more tears just fell.

There was a knock at the door. France came in. "Mon amour it's almost time to take the-"

He stopped talking when he saw his boyfriend and daughter crying together.

He kneed down next to them. "Chers what's wrong ?"

Before England could speak Amelia talked first. He threw her arms around her fathers. "Papa, Daddy please don't leave me !!"

"Leave ?" He looked at England.

England took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "She doesn't want to us go to war." He managed to say.

France expression saddened. He picked up America and set her on his lap, and sat next to England. He wiped both of their tears. "I'm sorry cher I don't want to go either but we have no choice."

"It's not fair !!"

"It's not sweetheart but we have to go." England said.

"Will you come back ?" She sniffled.

Both men looked at each other. They didn't know what to say.

They were countries, so they were immortal. But if something happen to their countries as in if it was ordered to dissolve. They might not.

But they couldn't tell her that.

"Yes we will." France replied.

"Are going to forget about us ?"

This shocked both men. "Oh course not cher. Why do you say that? "

"You'll be busy."

"Your right, we will love but we won't forgot about any of you."

France kissed her forehead. "We'll be back before you know it cher. And you can write us letters."

Amelia brighten up at this. "And when you come back can we make cake !?!"

They laughed at their child. "Oui. Come now, we have to take pictures."

"Okay !!" Amelia smiled brightly. She got off of France and ran out the room.

The two men smiled as they watched their daughter run out the room.

"I hope this war will be quicker then we think it's gonna be." England said looking down.

France took his boyfriend's face into his hands. "We'll be home before you know it. Now let's go take pictures."

The two men walked out the room to see Spain throwing Amelia up in the air and catching her.

"Spain if you drop her I promise you, I'll drop you." England said watching him throw Amelia in the air.

"Relax Inglaterra, like I would ever drop one of our little princesses."

"I'm just saying." England muttered.

"Ok chers it's time to take the pictures!"

All of the colonies started to gather around.

The large family took the pictures that France and England would take with them to war.

It was the last time they would actually be a family.

But they didn't know that yet.

They didn't know that England and France would be gone for 7 years.

They didn't know that when they came back, England would raise taxes on America.

They didn't know that Amelia would learn about freedom and liberty and declare war on England for independence.

They didn't know that France who would help her.

They didn't know that Philippines would also declare war on Spain for independence

They didn't know that Amelia would help her.

They didn't know that it would cause their family to strain and break apart.

They didn't know then, but now they did.

And now that they did, after years of having a broken family.

They were turning back into a united one.

It's been forever since I updated. So I just decided to do a memory.

This was England's memory by the way.
