Chapter Text
Thirteen Years ago...
On September 2nd 1967, Peter Kirkland known as Sealand was born through c-section since Arthur was merely too weak to give birth normally after having twins boys which were famous know as America and Canada along with their sister Seychelles. America and Canada was surprised when they found out they had a brother (and is slightly jealous since the 2 boys share a birthday.)
*Note: I know Seychelles independence was 9 years after Sealand and Canada and America are 4 days apart (actually like 90 years apart), but just act like they are twins.*
When Sealand was about 5 years old he was taken by cps dude to being in a "toxic" household. Peter cried as the people took him away from his parents to foster care, Britian and France was going through a emotional breakdown. America was no where to be found, Canada was drinking down alcohol to make the pain go away at home, and Seychelles went back to her territory in East Africa at the time.
No one from the face family never mention the day that Sealand gotten taken away from custody.
...
When Sealand was at the social service place he was alone and had no one to be around only his stuff Dino name Lucky he got on his third birthday. Sealand had the green dinosaur along with a bracelet that had the name "Pete" his sister gave it to him before he left.
Peter noticed the Agent who taken him from his house was sitting next to him in a chair a few feet away. Peter got down from the gray chair he was sitting in and walked to the Agent and since he was too short to tap on the lady shoulder, Peter just tugged on her pants leg.
The lady looked away from reading her book.
"Yes Peter?" The lady asked
"Do you know where the bathroom is at?" Sealand asked, it been a few hours since he taken from his home and need to used the bathroom.
"Uhh, okay I'll take you there." The Lady responded picking up Sealand to take to the bathroom "Can you go on your own or do you need help?" The Lady asked when she reached the bathroom and put Sealand down.
"I don't think so." Sealand responded as he went into the men's room and the lady waited outside.
...
Sealand came from out of the bathroom and his hands were wet "I was too short to reach for the paper towels." Sealand said embarrassed
"No worries wait here." The lady walked into the women's bathroom for the paper and came back and dried off Sealand's hands.
"Am I going back to my parents soon?" Sealand asked nervously as the lady finished drying off his hands and he pulled them back before she let go.
"Well..." her voice trailed off "I hope you go back home, but in the meantime... I don't think so."
The Lady felt guilty after saying that.
Sealand wish he could cry but couldn't since he used all his tears up.
"But, look at the bright side... You going to a place where they going to take really good care of you." She put her hands on Peter little shoulders, Peter just shuddered at the fact they are replacing his parents.
"What if I don't want new parents?" Peter said hold to his Dinosaur tightly to his chest.
"Well unfortunately between me and you Peter, we don't have a choice in the matter, sometimes parents can do-"
"NO!" Sealand yelled as he shoved away the lady arm from his shoulder and ran away with his dinosaur and his "Pete" bracelet.
The lady sighted as she have to chase after Sealand.
Sealand was running until he reached the gate and slipped under it and about to head to the front door out of the building.
"Stop that child," She echoed, the security got from his desk and picked up Peter by the arm. Peter kicked and screamed and begging him to see his parents, but the security guard ended up putting Peter in a chair and cuffed him to it.
Peter cried and pleaded to see his dad's again but it was no use, he fell asleep with his dinosaur and his bracelet around his arm.
...
Peter was awake but his eyes were closed, he heard conversations of 2 men talking to the lady.
"He gotten removed from his parents no less than 12 hours ago, but I would be careful if I was you since he could be a runner."
"Oh no worried, Sasha we can handle him isn't that right Berwald?" One of the guys said patting on Berwald shoulder.
Berwald gave a nod, "If you want Sasha I could make you something to drink." The man voice was deeper "Oh no thank you, but I appreciate the gesture, I have to go back and do paper work." Sasha replied "I'll check back on you next week to see how Peter is adjusting." Sasha told the couple before leaving.
"I'll get the door." Berwald said closing the door after sasha left and closed the door.
"So Sweden, do we wake him up?" The man asked
Sweden shook his head "No Tino, the boy is already up, the second that Sasha talked about his parents, look."
As Sweden pointed to Sealand he saw his leg was moving a lot.
"See Finland, I told you he is up."
Finland could only nodded as he was impressed.
Sealand got up from the couch and noticed the two looking at him.
"Where am I and how did you know I was sleeping." Sealand look at the two men,
"Relax you at our house, besides make yourself comfortable, we're going to be your foster dads." Finland said excitedly holding Sweden waist.
Sweden nodded, "So tell us about yourself."
"Um... I thought that lady told you." Sealand said embarrassed,
"Oh but I perfer to hear it from you, besides those type of people just guess what kids like since their job is to take them to different foster homes." Sweden said as he sat down beside Peter looking at his eyes.
"You do look resemble both your dad looks, especially your dad Francis." Sweden mumbled to himself
Sealand didn't hear him he too busy telling Finland and Sweden what he was interested in.
"So I perfer dogs, and I asked for one for my birthday last year but unfortunately I didn't get one, but instead my dinosaur-"
Peter paused as he looked around for his dinosaur name Lucky who was a minty green.
"Oh don't panic I put him in the washing machine, besides he was dirty." Finland said before Peter started to panic.
"Okay..." Sealand said in a low voice,
"Cheer up, Pete you should-"
As Sweden about to pat Sealand back he moved away
"Don't call me Pete, only my family can and it's Peter Kirkland, for you information." Sealand snapped.
Berwald Oxenstierna (Sweden full name) was puzzled on what to say next and caught off guard with that reaction.
"It's okay Sweden he just adjusting, just make some lemonade for him." Finland said as he sat in the chair.
Sweden got up and left to the kitchen.
"Hey Peter, you know that hurt his feelings, you should apologize to him." Finland said comforting Peter.
"I.. I didn't mean to, well not like that. I was scared." Sealand said looking away.
"I know, you want to know what I do when I feel scared? I keep something on me that feel special to me just like that bracelet you're holding." Finland said point at the green and blue bracelet that said "Pete" made by his sister Seychelles.
"Thanks... My sister made me that." Sealand told him, "It was the last thing I have."
"Oh nice." Tino said amazed, "Everytime you fell scared you should remember you happiest moment with your family."
Sealand just smile.
"Uh thank you...." Sealand voice trailed off
"Of course, sorry I just realized I didn't introduced my name, my name is Tino Väinämöinen and you can call me Tino or dad and that's Berwald Oxenstierna, you can call him papa." Tino said with giddy "And just like you, we are countries."
Sealand was shocked, how did they know?
"I know you was thinking 'crazy right' and how can I tell? Well simple you see you potentially owning some land and also Arthur Kirkland, your father is a country also but, for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and North Ireland and your papa Francis is the country of France." Tino said,
Berwald came back with the lemonade, he placed it on the coffee table.
Sealand look up at Sweden.
"I'm sorry for being mean to you, papa." Sealand said looking away.
Sweden was surprised at the response that he had to use 2 hands to hold the glass of lemonade so he doesn't drop it.
"I'll accept you apology." Sweden said "But next time talk it out."
"Okay" Sealand nodded.
Sweden passed a glass of lemonade to Sealand and Finland.
The three of them decided to watch a fantasy movie filled with goblins, trolls, and wizards.
