Note:

They are all nagas so just to clarify a few things-

Snakes smell by tasting the air.

Nagas don't talk to communicate, they do so more by action and sounds but no normal human speech.  They can only speak like a normal human when naming a new naga.

Also, Nagas are born from eggs so baby reader starts out as an egg.

[c/n] = country name

[name] = your name

[e/c] = eye color

[h/c] = hair color

[f/c] = favorite color

Narrator's POV

A lone egg was sitting in a warm sunny clearing, in an area that looked like a nest.  All was quiet till - crack.

A small crack appeared on the smooth shell, the sound alerting a nearby male who had red eyes, a long dark purple tail, and raven hair.  He moved curiously towards the sound, coming across the clearing with the egg.  He immediately glanced around.

'That's strange,'  Kuro thought to himself.  'Normarry eggs are kept in caves, or at reast with a parent curred around them.'  Kuro approached the egg cautiously, poking his long tongue out, trying to get a scent.

'That's arso strange,'  Kuro thought as he put his tongue back in.  'There's no scent of a parent, not even a faint one.'  Kuro looked around the egg some more till he spotted a familiar marking on the egg shell.

'This is a baby nation!'  Kuro thought.  He glanced around.  'I've got to find the others!'  Kuro thought as he slithered off, out of the clearing.

A few moments later - crack.  A new crack had appeared on the shell, the sound drawing attention once more as a naga with a bright pink tail, neon blue eyes, and strawberry blond hair appeared along with a tanned naga with brown hair, red eyes, and a earthy brown tail.

The pink tailed one, Oliver, looked shocked at the egg, moving towards it and sticking his tongue out before turning to the other naga.  Oliver slapped his tail down 3 times, rapidly while circling the egg excitedly, translating to "It's going to hatch!" 

The tanned naga, Allen, grinned and nodded before looking around.  He thumped his tail and waved it side to side, confused as to why there were no parents.  Oliver just bounced around the egg and motioned for Allen to come closer to the egg.

Immediately Oliver showed Allen a marking on the egg, a distinct one.  Allen looked at it and motioned to it before motioning to Oliver and himself, head tilted, asking "Does that mean this kid is one of us?"  Oliver nodded joyously.

Oliver then shoved Allen to the end of the clearing, shooing him off with one hand, then motioning him to come back with both, translating to "Go bring the others back."  Oliver then went back over to the egg, coiling protectively around it.

Allen understood that Oliver was going to stay with the egg and nodded, heading off to find the rest of the family.

Oliver made soft hisses at the egg he was protectively around, trying to encourage the little nation inside to come out soon.  Oliver gently placed a hand on the egg, softly rubbing it as he flicked his tongue out at it, trying to imprint his scent on it.

'I can't wait to be a dad again!  Oh, Francois and I will love this little poppet so much!'  Oliver thought contently as he felt small kicks from inside the egg, showing that the little baby was trying hard to come out.  This made Oliver even more ecstatic.

Oliver stopped his cheers when he felt someone approaching.  Oliver tensed up and then relaxed when he caught the familiar scent of Francois and the rest of his family.  Soon Allen returned with a long haired blond with a purple tail (Francois), and another long haired blond who had a red tail (James).  Oliver waved them over, partially unraveling around the egg so that the others could see.

Francois was practically pulled over by an excited Oliver who quickly showed him and James the mark on the egg.  Francois sighed and looked at Oliver, motioning his hands to the egg and then to Oliver and himself, asking "Are we really going to keep it?"  Oliver nodded quickly as he wrapped around the egg again.  Francois sighed and lazily curled around Oliver and the egg, right before James and Allen began hissing.  Oliver and Francois looked over at the edge of the clearing.

There they saw their enemies; Kuro, who brought a naga with dark red hair and a strange curl with magenta eyes and a red tail (Luciano), a blond naga with a strange curl and a pink tail (Flavio), a sad looking naga with blue eyes and long gray hair with a white tail (Gilen), and a tall blond naga with a dull green tail and bored blue eyes (Lutz), all of them better known as the Axis.

Oliver protectively coiled around the egg as Francois stood in front of him, growling along with Allen.  James raised his hand and whistled, causing a commotion to be heard, followed by a naga with long brown hair and a deep green tail (Zao), and a tall naga with red eyes and a dark blue tail (Viktor), appearing.  As soon as they saw the egg they growled along with Francois and the others, taking defensive positions.

Luciano turned to Kuro and motioned to the egg with his head tilted while hissing, translating to "Is-a that the-a egg you were-a talking about?"  Kuro nodded.  Luciano growled and made a range of motions and thumps, saying, "The-a egg is-a ours, give it or-a face a fight!"  The Allies remained resolute as Allen flipped them off with his tail.

Red with fury, Luciano lunged, claws and fangs barred.  Allen lunged forward and the two were on the ground fighting.  Viktor and Lutz began slamming into each other while Zao and Kuro began snaking through the trees, taking time to try and claw each other.  James growled and lunged at Flavio who began to back away, trying to lure James off so that Gilen could go after Francois.

Francois let out a low growl as he used his tail to push Oliver, encouraging Oliver to pick up the egg and flee.  Gilen attacked, using a branch to knock Francois out before speeding after Oliver.  Luciano smirked at the sight.

'That-a kid's ours!'  He thought as he scratched Allen in the chest.  Allen hissed threateningly before attacking back.

------------------------------

'Got to run now and protect this little poppet.'  Oliver thought as he slithered quickly through the trees, trying his best to hold the egg tightly while still moving fast.  'Why we have to have such big bulky eggs I'll never know.'

Before he could get far, he felt he was being chased and saw a flash of white.  Oliver stopped and grabbed some mud, throwing it at Gilen's eyes.  Gilen hissed in pain and tried to get it off.  Oliver hurried and found a secluded spot in a hallow of a sweet smelling tree.  He placed the egg inside before grabbing a large stone and slithering off, trying to lure Gilen away from the egg.

--------------- A Few Hours Later ---------------

The battle was over between the Axis and the Allies, neither side winning.  Francois had come to, finding the others sitting around looking annoyed and tired.

James looked annoyed and had some claw marks on his chest.  Allen looked like he could snap someone's head off.  Viktor looked bruised but didn't let the pain show.  Zao had scratches here and there but looked fine.

As for the Axis, they too looked annoyed.  Luciano had scratches and was gritting his teeth angrily.  Lutz looked like he was falling asleep, but seemed fine with just his few bruises.  Kuro looked annoyed and had a few scratches.  Flavio seemed to be having a small fit over having scratches and dirt in his hair.

Francois looked around and realized that they were waiting, waiting to see whether Gilen would come back with an egg or not.

Eventually they all heard the sound of rustling bushes.  Looking in that direction they saw a teary eyed Oliver and a sad looking Gilen.  Everyone seemed to raise their eyebrows, asking the same question;

"Where's the egg?"

Gilen held up a rock and dropped it while motioning to Oliver.  Oliver threw himself at Francois.  Oliver then moved to a tree and acted like he was hiding behind it, telling the others how he hid the egg.  Oliver then showed grabbing the rock and running before dropping the stone and motioning to Gilen, meaning he had caught Oliver.

The others nodded but the question still remained, so they motioned for Oliver and Gilen to continue.

Oliver then grabbed Gilen's hand and led him to the tree where they acted like they looked around it before straightening up and shaking their heads, signalling that they couldn't find the egg.

Knowing they weren't going to find that egg, they all reluctantly left, with a single thought going through their heads;

'Who has the egg now?'

--------------- Flashbacking To A Few Hours Before ---------------

'Hmm, I w-wonder if t-there's any s-sap today.'  A sweet looking naga with shoulder length blond hair thought as he moved towards his favorite tree.  The violet eyed and violet tailed naga was about to approach when he heard the sound of a crack.

'What c-caused that?'  He thought as he moved to the other side of the tree, peering into the hallow to find an egg, a hatching one at that.

'Oh Maple!'  Matthew thought as he carefully brought the egg out, checking it for scents, trying to figure out if he knew the parents.

'Oh d-dear, there are t-too many s-scents on t-this egg.'  Matthew thought as he looked it over.  It was then that he saw the marking.  'N-now I see, a b-bunch of others n-nations m-must've been f-fighting over you b-before one h-hid you.'  He thought.  He then glanced around, nervously flicking his tongue out.

Finding that there were no other nagas around who might claim the egg, Matthew carefully made his way back to his little cave where he gathered some bedding and made nest for the egg and himself.

He gently placed the egg in the nest before gently coiling around it, giving the egg warmth.  Matthew smiled as he felt a kick come from the egg.  He gently hissed and flicked his tongue at the egg, trying to encourage the little nation inside to come out.

After a while, night had arrived and the baby naga had yet to come out of the egg, but progress had been made; there were a lot more cracks.  Just as Matthew was feeling himself beginning to nod off he heard and felt the egg shatter.

Matthew partially uncoiled himself as he looked down at the cute little female naga.  She had innocent [e/c] eyes and [h/c] hair that was soft to the touch.  She also had a cute little [f/c] tail.

She looked up at Matthew, unsure of where she was.  Matthew gently brought her into his embrace, not minding her squirming.  He soothing flicked his tongue at her, imprinting his scent onto the little naga, reassuringly meaning, "Shh, little one, I am you parent."  Matthew continued to gently rub his cheek against hers as he rubbed her back.

The little naga, [c/n], calmed down and coiled her short tail around Matthew's torso, tucking her head under his head, signalling that she had accepted him as her parent.

'I need to name her...'  Matthew thought to himself.  He gently held her before himself as he figured out a name for her.

"[name]" He said softly.  [c/n] looked up at him and smiled.  She then flicked her tongue out happily before snuggling back into Matthew.  Matthew smiled and coiled around her protectively, nuzzling her, telling her it was time to rest.  [name] pouted, not wanting to sleep.

Matthew chuckled, raising his body up while carrying the little [f/c] tailed naga.  He began swaying himself in a circle while rubbing [name]'s back.  She relaxed and was soon fighting to keep awake.  But soon enough, she submitted to sleep.

With a soft smile, Matthew once more settled down into the nest and coiled around [name].  But just before Matthew fell asleep, a thought came to mind;

'I wonder when my mate will be home...'

~Fin~

Really enjoyed that and the twist ending with 1p Canada getting the reader.  Because let's face it, Canada is soooooooooooo cute, and he'd make a great parent.
