The American Dream: oneshots

Secret's out

You know what this is about. RusAme part...seven? I don't know. But have fun!

Russia quickly walked out of the giant office building, earning a few questionable glances. Usually, at this time, he would still be in his office, working on his government papers and drinking. But for the past two months, he would rush home, avoiding everyone. Not only that but America had been stuck at home for two months due to some sickness she had gotten.

However, Mexico had a feeling something was off. 

First off, America would still come in for work if she was sick. She would just keep herself in her office the whole day. Second, Russia would never give up a chance to drink freely while at work. And thirdly, both of them had been getting closer for the past year.

No fights. No arguments. No threats of war.

 Mexico knew something was off. What is going on?

"Russia? Are you home?" Mexico called out after knocking. He had decided to follow Russia to his house up in the mountains. Shivering, Mexico knocked harder and rubbed his arms a bit. He usually wouldn't take so long to answer but it did give him time to notice an upstairs addon. 

The second floor was extended a bit with an almost complete new room. Looking inside the room, Mexico could see the color of orange, and after taking a step back, Mexico could see the tip of a rocking cradle. Why would Russia have that? Alaska is too old to use it.

So why does he have that?

"I'm a bit busy today comrade. Can you come later!?" Russia's voice called out from behind the door. He would never shout from inside to outside, Soviet taught him better.

So what gives?

"It's important!! UN sent me to ask you if you've seen America lately? She's not in her apartment or the State's house. In fact, her apartment complex said that she broke her lease. So we're all worried about her!" That was partially true. Mexico did try to see America first but was told she no longer live there for seven months. And her older States didn't know where she was either. UN was worried but NATO had said that this is normal for America to disappear for a while.

But to break her lease seven months ago? That didn't make sense.

"Why should I know? I don't always keep up with what she does."

"Can you at least let me in?! I'm freezing my butt off!" He heard loud shuffling and he thought he heard some whispering. Just as it quiet down a bit, the door unlocked. Russia stood there, nervously looking behind him. Mexico did notice on the coffee table two coffee mugs. Did he have company right now?

"C...come in comrade. Do mind the mess. Alaska just wanted some tea."

"But Alaska hates tea." Russia didn't say anything and let Mexico in. Warmth finally engulfed him and Mexico could sigh peacefully. He never did like the cold and at least Russia's home was warm.

Just a little too warm. "It's a bit warmer than normal in here."

"Oh! I...I just had chills." Mexico sat on the couch, looking at the coffee mugs. One of them had a spoon and a sugar jar right next to it.

"You don't get chills."

"I-"

"Russia. You and I both know that you can't lie to me behind closed doors. And we both know that I won't stop being a friend and worrying about it. So please. Tell me what's wrong."

Russia clenched his jaw and balled his fists. Mexico knew he was struggling to tell him and whatever it was, it was a big deal.

"Big Bear. We need to tell him." A voice ring out. America!! She was here! Mexico quickly stood up. It sounded like it was coming from the kitchen. He took a step toward it but Russia stepped over to block his path, growling.

What? What was Russia-

"Russia. It's okay. Mexico is your friend."

"But what if-"

"He won't tell UN about them. He knows better." Them? Who's them? Mexico could barely see the top of America's head as she walked up to Russia. Her hands touched his sides and Russia slowly calm down. What was-

Mexico got his answer the moment she stepped in front. America was heavily pregnant with Russia's children. No wonder she was acting weird these past few months. She was hiding them.

"You're...you're..."

"Pregnant? Yeah. I am. I'm reaching my eight-month mark very soon." Mexico could feel his heart breaking but quickly masked it with a smile. He couldn't let her know now.

"That's...That's great news! Your families must be excited." Russia and America looked at each other nervously. "You have told them right?"

"We were hoping not to let them know ever."

"But...why?! You guys know you can't hide this forever!! Everyone will wonder where you are America! And Russia can't cover you forever!"

"I know that!" America screamed, tears threatening to fall. She quickly wiped them away and continued. "Do you think I want to hide my babies? I would love to tell my family about them and I would love to walk out of the house with no fear. But both Russia and I have enemies that would use our little ones against us and there's no guarantee that UN can protect them. I know this is selfish and stupid but I can't risk them getting hurt."

America placed her hands on her baby bump and rubbed it gently. Russia wrapped his arms around her, placing one hand on top of hers. Mexico's heart ached but kept his sad smile. He took a step forward, causing Russia to slightly glares at him, and placed his own hand on her stomach. A slight baby kick happened under his hand.

Mexico took a breath and sighed. "Alright. I won't tell UN about this and I'll help you two as much as I can. But you two can't keep this as a secret forever. Sooner or later, someone will find out and UN might not be able to help you."

America looked up at Russia, who nodded, and looked back at Mexico. "Okay. We'll figure out how to tell UN and our families. We just need a couple weeks to figure out something out."

"Mexico. Have you found America?" UN asked. It had been two days since Mexico found out what had happened to America and he intends to keep his promise.

"No. I wasn't able to find her but I think she may have gone to the mainland." UN groaned but didn't ask anymore. Mexico wasn't sure how long he could lie for them.

But he would do anything for her.

Now this is done and I hope you guys have a great holiday season. Also you guys can determine who America and Russia reveal their secret.

Have a lovely night/day.
