This is a story from NY update book. For some reason I couldn't stand letting it sit there so I'm publishing it. This is come from a thing I seen in tumblr that I once posted in one of my family bond chapter.

Anyway here it is.

Father

It was a rainy day at the pub. America sat by the window holding his glass of  water while England started to drink the night away.

"You know." America said softly. "I miss my father. "

England who was slightly  (read: really) drunk stop babbling and look over at the American in confusion. "What you mean?" He asked his voice mixed up because of the drinks. "I'm here !"

"No,not you. I was talking about my other father...George Washington. Sometime I wish I could still here his voice."

"Stupid England !" America shouted as he punch the tree in front of him. "Stupid ! Stupid ! Stupid !"

To any other soldier who was watching the man punch the tree during the late 1700's would have thought that the young man was upset at the country of England for the war. They were somewhat correct.

The men started to step back as the general step back walking up to the boy. The nation didn't notice as he continue to abuse the tree.

"America." The man shouted. The nation turned around "M-Mr Washington.. I mean General Washington ! What are you doing here ?"

The general sigh. "Why don't we go back in the tent son." Washington started to walk away with America following behind . "Sir?"

"Tell me America. What is England to you?"

"He..he was like a father to me sir. " America repiled confused at the strange question .

"Call me father."

"Sir?"

"You are in need of a parent do you not? Call me father . If your other father refuse to be a good parent then I shall take his place."

America's confused face quickly turned into a smile. "Then name me father! Please give me a name."

"Alfred . How about the name Alfred Foster Washington-Jones."

"Jones sir?"

"Jones is a common family name. I'm sorry to upset you America but it would be chaotic if people learn I have a son."

"Oh. Alright father ! Please call me Alfred from now on !"

--

"Father? Where are you Father !" A young America called out. His head was wrapped in bandages and he was limping with every step but other than that the young teenage was alright. "Father! "

"In here boy !"

America turned around as he ran down the stair as he pounce on the older men. "There you are father. I thought you went missing, I was scared for a moment."

Washington smiled as he ruffle the nation's hair. "You have to do more than that to get rid of me."

"Father did you here the news. Everyone love you. They love you so much that they want you to lead our country !" Washington almost dropped the boy in shock . "What !"

"Yes Father they want you to be the president.  Aren't you happy Father." America step back looking at his father figure in fear. "Father..don't you want to make me a stronger country. Do you not wish to be with me father?"

Washington sigh. "No Alfred. It's not you. I could never abandon you after your father nation did . I'm just shocked. Alfred you do know my wish right. "

Alfred nodded . "You wish for a quiet life after the war. If you become president then you will never be able to have the life you wanted."

"Correct."

"But Father..please the country needs you, I need you. Surely you could do something. Please father !"

"Alright then. "

--

"Father should I throw a brick out the window. The two are fighting again."

"Go ahead Alfred."

Extra points to anyone who can figure out who was fighting.

"Jones it's time to head back to the capital." His  Boss said. Alfred look down at the grave in front of him. "Boss? Why couldn't I visit father before? I could have visit him once last time. Mother too. Why did you stop me?"

"It was general Washington last wish." His Boss repiled.

"What?" Alfred asked. "He..don't want to see me."

"More like he don't want you to see him. Tell me Alfred, if you see your father lying on his death bed how would you feel ?"

"How would I feel..I don't know."

"You don't know ?"

America look down at the floor suddenly finding his shoes interesting, casually reminding himself to shine it when he go back to the white house. "Boss...I've lived longer than most of the people in this graveyard. I seen things that would traumatize most. I seen many of my friend die as well. But I never really had someone so close to me die before...how am I suppose to feel? For some reason I can't feel anything. I'm empty...."

His Boss didn't reply.

"I wish to go see mother is that alright boss?"

"Yes, you may go. Be sure be behave Alfred."

"Of course. I wouldn't dare to disrespect her ."

America sigh as he set England down on the couch setting up a glass of water and a pill by the coffee table near by.

"You know I really miss my father. Sometime I wish to hear his voice." The nation closed his eyes, the sound of crickets crying filled his ears. He sigh as he collapse on to a chair.

"Of course."
