COMMENTS APPRECIATED!!!

"Mom, is there any newer ornaments?" my son asked me as he lifted up some faded Christmas ornaments from the storage container. I blinked and looked around the tree to where he was and thought for a moment. "There should be more upstairs by the other Christmas stuff."  I replied to his question as I continued to untangle the lights. It was about a 2 weeks before Christmas and my husband said to put up the tree. I loved putting the tree up, and now that our child was old enough to know not to put the plastic candy canes in his mouth, but still young to know anything about the world. I started to twist the lights on the tree after untangling the ball of lights. "Mom, what the heck does Hetalia mean?" my sons voice asked as he came back into the room with a box medium sized box. My eyes widened as I looked at him and smiled a bit then went over to him. "Hon, this is why you're here today.  I was very introverted, just like your father. This show was the shit back then. I can tell you stories." I said and ruffled his blonde hair. He then blinked with a confused expression as he looked down at the box. We heard the door being opened, and someone dropping stuff, followed by a string of curse words. "Dad's home." he said then set the box down and went to the front door. "Dad, Leal made fun of me again. Can I punch him?" I heard our son say, just like their fathers, my son and Francis's son were rivals. "Yes. Show that bloody frogs offspring who's more superior!" my husband said with a fire in his eyes. I shook my head and turned on the lights. "Look artie!" I said as I put the ornaments on. 

I heard foot steps go to the living room and a chuckle behind me. "It looks wonderful love. I would say beautiful, but it won't compare to you." Arthur said as he hugged me from behind and kissed my cheek. "Gah! Artie, your lips are cold." I said with a laugh and wiggled out of his hold. His green eyes widen and he had a slight smirk. Arthur went to the kitchen and our son, Everard, who was almost the splitting image of Arthur, but didn't have the bushy eyebrows and my colored eyes. "Mom. Hetalia." Everard said as he plopped down on the couch by the box. "History. To sum up the whole series in general. I was  a big fangirl back then." I said to him and fixed some decorations. "You were obsessed with it back then love." Arthur said as he walked in with a mug and stood by me. I stuck my tongue out at him and kissed his cheek. "Peppermint?" I asked him, which he nodded and held up his mug to me. I sipped some tea with a smile and glanced at the tree. "Where's the star poppet?" Arthur asked in surprise as he looks through the boxes once he saw it was missing. "It should of been in that one." I replied and pointed to the most christmas decorated container. Once I pointed to it, he looked through it and made a pleased sound and took out the box. I smiled and held his mug when he held it to me then set the star on top, after almost tipping the tree over.  "Be careful artie!" I exclaimed in shock, and Everard just laughed. Once we fixed the tree and the star was on top, even if it was tips slightly, we had dinner. "Don't worry ever. It's almost break."  I reassured our son. He had a small pout and complained about it was going slow. Arthur and I laughed, because it reminded us of when we were in school. After the dishes were done, we sat in the living room, watching "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" we stood up until 10 something. "Okay, time for bed young man." I said to Everard, who pouted and didn't budge until I gave him a smile like close russian friend Ivan gave sometimes. "Good night mom! Dad!" he said and rushed upstairs quickly. I laughed and snuggled into Arthur as I hummed marukaite chikyuu. "Hey, Arthur?" I looked at our joined hands as he relaxed into the couch more. "Yes love?" he replied and glanced at me. 

"Will you disappear?"  I asked him suddenly, his eyes widened, but then held so much love. "No darling. I'm just a human now. No longer the personification of Britain. When we met, I was nervous at first to tell you. And when you accepted that, that's all I needed. I was happy to give it up. I can still do magic, but to change back to the country, it is more work now since I am human." Arthur said to me as he turned to face me completely. His green eyes piercing my own. My hands were taken by his gentle ones and he kissed them both and held them close to his heart. I felt his heart beat a bit faster, but that's normal for any person. "I love you with everything I have Mrs.Kirkland, and much more. " he said to me with a loving smile and leaned towards me. I blushed and shut my eyes. "I love you with everything I have and much more also, Mr.Kirkland." I whispered just before his lips met mine in a sweet passionate kiss only we could share. Arthur was a tough cookie to break. But when he finally said he loved me, it was the happiest time we shared. Our son was born months later after that. I snuggled into Arthur's embrace and hummed the hetalia theme song once more, which he chuckled and kissed my head. Our son will know later on in life, but right now, it's just Arthur and I.
