The Joys of Pregnancy

Siblings Arival

"Are you sure you remember how to get to the air port? I really don't want you getting lost up the Rockys or end up by the Mississippi River when I'm only two weeks away from poping." I asked the taller male worriedly. I knew that he's been in my country, more specificaly in this area, for a while now, but I couldn't help but get nervouse everytime he when out with out me. Even though he's been been doing it more and more often now that it's hard for me to even move around my own house, let alone navegate a store or something.

"Da, Fredka. I have been to and from the air port four times now. I think I can be able to find it just fine." He rolled his eyes, but a playful smile was on his lips. "If I do get lost I have GPS and I can call you. Besides, I should be the one more worried about you. Do you think you'll be fine without me here for a little while?"

"Do you know who you're talking too?" I cocked an eyebrow and smirked. "I'm America, the superpower. I'll be fine."

"I know. Just be careful." He said placing a kiss on my forhead.

"I will, man. You're acting like this is the last time I'll see you." I huffed playfully. "Don't worry. Mattie will be here in less then an hour. I'll be fine. Now go before you're late." I said ushering him out the door. "Go get your sisters. I love you Vanya."

"Love you too Fredka." He rolled his eyes before giving me a kiss. I returned the kiss happily. We reluctently pulled apart after a long moment. I stayed on the porch and watched him leave. I stayed out for a little longer, leaning on the new railing he installed less then a week ago. After we fell off the porch when my brother threw the surprise party he made it his number one goal to build a sturdy railing around the small porch. Not that I minded, since it'll probably come in handy when the twins are born.

I walked, well, waddled back in to the house. I immedently picked up my phone and scrolled through my contacts. I stoped at 'Lego King'. I pushed the call button and wited for him to answer. In less then three rings he picked up the phone.

"Yo, Alfred. How you've been? How's Ivan and the girls doing?" Matt asked loudly from the other side. In the background I could hear chatter and the clanking of pots and pans.

"I've been just fine. Ivan and the twins are fine too. They're really active these days. Mattie told me that they're getting ready to get in position for being born." I laughed lightly as I rubed my stomach with one hand.

"Oof. Man, that must feel weird as Hell, you know. To have something just mooving around in you. What? No, I'm talking to Alfred! Huh? Okay! Tino says hi." Matt laughed happily as he relaied the message.

"Hi Tino." I giggled.

"He says hi back." Matt called out to the other nordic nation. "So why'd you call? Not for nothing, but you don't really call for nothing. Espcially not in the middle of the morning."

I looked at the clock and inwardly cursed. It may have been 4 in the afternoon here, but it was 9 in the morning there. I probably interupted breakfast at the Nordic house. "Sorry about that. I just need you to get some information from Norway for me."

"What kind? Is it specified?" He asked. That was our code for when I need him to get Norway to talk about magic. Other then both Mattie and Ivan, Matt was the only other person who knew I had magic. So from time to time he would try to get Norway to talke a little about his magic to give me tips and tricks.

"Yes. I need to know about protection wards and charms. Specifically on objects, such as toys for children." I told him as I thought back to old pink lamb I had sitting on a shelf in the nursery.

"Why, are you thinking about making one for the girls?" He asked curiously. I could almost see him tilt his head in confusion as he always did when he didn't understand why I was doing something.
