I do now own hetalia or you~


England(POV)

I walked out of the allies meeting into the downpour of rain. "That bloody git...can he not go two minutes without gorging himself on burgers." I mumbled trying to walk though the rain though I could hardly see what was in front of me. I walked past a large park and noticed something faintly moving in the field. "What the bloody hell is that..." I muttered going towards it. It...it was a girl! A small child who looked afraid. She noticed me then started to run towards me. I stood frozen, not sure what to do. She reached me and hugged my leg. "Mister! C-can you h-help me?!?!" She said looking up at me. I sighed and picked her up but before I could get a good look at her face she dug it into the crook of my neck. I rushed though the rain with the shivering child in my arms. I unlocked the front door to my house and entered. I suddenly was able to hear a light snore coming from the child. I felt her small arms, they where freezing. "Well...I suppose a warm bath would do you good." I said softly rubbing her sleeping back. I carried her to the guest room and went to the bathroom and ran a warm bath. I carried her back out and pulled her off of me, setting her on the bed. I gasped, she had a small black eye and her face was covered with mud. "Oh dear..." I muttered. Suddenly her eyes fluttered open and I was met with shining eyes. Though they where odd... Her left eyes was a bright green and her right was (e/c). None the less they where beautiful. I grinned. "Hello love, how are you feeling?" I asked. She have me a small smiled. "I'm cold..." She said in a soft voice. I nodded, "yes I ran you a bath, now come on." I said she smiled and hopped off the bed and followed me. I suddenly felt a small hand sneak their way into mine. I looked down and saw she was grinning while walking with me. I couldn't help but smile. We made our way to the bathroom and I put her in the bath. She was extremely happy, so was eye until I was splashed with water. "Now love let's keep the water inside the tub." I said with a kind smile, to my surprise she listened. I proceeded to wash the dirt out of her hair and scrubbed off the dirt on her body. She giggled and played with bubbles. I smiled and pulled her out before wrapping her in a big fluffy (f/c) towel. I brought her into my room and sat her on the bed. "Wait here love, I'm going to find you something to wear for the time being." I said before walking to my closet.

I looked though my clothes, I had clothes from my pirate days, punk days and from when I was young. I found a small white dress that looked to me the girls size though I knew who it belonged too...Alfred...when he was this small. I sighed and grabbed it brining it back to my room when I saw her waiting right where I left her. I took the towel and slipped the dress on. It was a little big but it will do. I set the girl on the floor and told her to follow me. As we where going down the hallway I heard a thud then a cry. I whipped around to see the girl had fallen and scrapped her knee. "Oh my, what happened love?" I asked lifting her up. "I-I *sniff* fell...I tripped on the dress" she said with big watery eyes. I sighed. "Well just he careful okay? Let's go clean that up." I said carrying her now. I walked us into the kitchen and sat her at the table before going to get some bandages. I came back, cleaned her wound and bandaged it. She smiled looking at the Union Jack bandaid. I couldn't help but feel proud that the child loved my flag so much. "So...can you tell me your name love?" I asked. She looked at me then down at the table. "I um...I think it's (name)" I smiled, "That's a lovely name poppet, do you know where your parents are?" I asked. "I don't have parents..." She said softly. My eyes widened. 'Could she be a new nation...' I thought looking at her. She had soft (s/c) skin and pretty, long (h/c) hair and pretty eyes. It was odd that they where different colors but none the less they where beautiful. "Well...are you hungry love?" I asked. She eagerly nodded before her stomach gave off a large growl. I quickly make small cucumber sandwiches and have her one. She took a bite then smiled. "Good?" I asked. "Amazing!!! Can I have another?!" She said happily. I smiled and made another. I watched her devour it. "Slow down love you'll get a stomach ache if you eat to fast." I said calmly. "I'm sorry mister..." She said before eating slower however she had lots of it all over her face.  "Um...what's your name?" She asked me. "Arthur Kirkland, or England." I replied. She looked at me and smiled. "Arthur...can I stay here?" She asked. My eyes widened then softened. She had such a bright light in her eyes...just like how America had. I felt my eyes water looking at the small child. She had a whole long life ahead of her...she needed someone to guide her...and protect her. I remembered back to when Alfred was just a child...I felt my heart break. 'What if she leaves me too...' I thought before I was pulled out of my mind by tiny arms wrapping around my neck, it was (name) she climbed onto the counter to reach my height. I hugged her back and sighed, she pulled away then wiped the tears away from under my eyes. "Please don't cry...I'll leave if you want me too..." She said softly. I smiled and hugged her tightly lifting her off the counter. "No, you can stay...I want you too love." I said. She hugged me tightly then kissed my cheek. "I love you daddy..." She said with a light giggle.

'Daddy...?'

"I love you too poppet"
