The Joys of Pregnancy

Life Bit

Bye Bye Kittens.

I layed on my bed, not wanting to get up. In one hour all the remaning kittens will be gone. The day has arrived for them to find new homes with other nations and leave mine forever. They are going to leave today, and it was breaking my heart. I have grown really attached to them since their births last Thanksgiving. We've played together, cuddled, snuggled, and whent for walks. I know when they leave I will be giving up a small part of my heart to each of them.

"Come on Fredka. You need to get up." Ivan said as he gentlly tried to pull me from the bed. By doing so he had disloged the blankets covering me from the waist down. He looked at my bare legs in surprise. "You still are not fully dressed?"

"My pants don't fit me anymore!" I whined patheticly. In the last week I have gone from a barely there curve to much more noticable one. Especially if you look from the side. I was now over 15 weeks and nearing my 16. None of my pants fit me anymore, I couldn't even try to wreasle them on today.

"Do you want a pair of my pants?" He asked as I finally sat up, a bit reluctently. A sympathetic smile was on his face.

"Can't. Yours are way too long for me. I'll trip constently." I sighed and got off the bed. I walked over to the dresser to dig around again, hoping I might have missed something I could wear the last time I whent through it. For possiblely the sixth time today I came up empty handed. I groaned in frustration and slambed my hand against the dresser. Not enough to break the dresser, but it did relieve a little bit of tenstion from me.

"Alfred, here, wear this." I turned around to see him handing me a pair of thin dark grey sweat pants. I took them and held them against my legs. While they were a little on the long side, they weren't too bad. I could roll the cuffs up a little.

"Thank you Vanya. You're the best." I said pulling him into a kiss. He hummed and kissed back. I broke the kiss to put on the pants. They were a little long, like I though they would be, but at least they were a little loose. I have some time with them before they won't work anymore. "Ugh. I need to go cloth shoping, don't I?"

"I'm afraid so dorogaya. Unless you want to go the rest of your pregnancy pantless, which I have no objection against." He smirked and winked.

"IVAN!" I shouted with a fierce blush. I stomped passed him and out to the hall. I could hear his chuckling from behind me. With a slightly annoyed huff I stomped down the stairs and into the kitchen. Which was hard and lost all with my starting to form waddle. "Please tell me you have the kittens rounded up!" I shouted into the living room.

"Da! I put them in the big storage bin. They want out though." He told me as I walked back in with an apple in my hand.

"Yea, I bet they do." I sighed sadly. He placed a comferting hand on my shoulder. I gave him a small smile to show I was going to be okay.

I looked over at the clock. Only another half an hour before they'll show up. I picked up a brush and a kitten and started to absent mindedly groom the. I wasn't even sure which one I had either. Befor I even knew it the door bell rang, sigaling the arrival of the first nation. I got up and walked to the front door. When I opened it I saw all of them there. I was slightly surprised, since I expected them to come one at a time pretty much.

"Hey guys, come on in." I invited the six nations inside. They were Germany, Italy, Romano, Hungary, and Austria. "So, did you all take the same plane?"

"Ja, we did. Italy wanted all of us to make the trip together." Germany sighed. "Not that it was a horrible idea."

"Speak for yourself you damn potato eater." Romano snapped.
