Another glance to the instructions and then the kit again, as much as she wanted them to the words didn't seem to be changing anytime soon, ink stubbornly permanent. She was pregnant. Pregnant. What was she going to do? She couldn't have a baby, she was in her final year of university, she had her whole life ahead of her! Alma needed to get her diploma, a steady career and preferably a husband or at least long-term steady relationship before this happened to her. Not a one-off sympathy shag from her ex's brother on the night of their breakup. This was surely the most fucked up thing that had ever happened to her, absolutely the worst.
Jesus, what was she going to do? All she could think of was that her family were going to kill her for mucking up her chances and they already got along rather poorly, this would be the nail in the coffin that got her disowned for sure. They'd probably been waiting for her to fail all this time so they could do it. She didn't even want to contemplate Matthew's reaction, or Alfred's for that matter.
She had to stop panicking, she had options, there were always options. She just had to calm and think what she was going to do. One thing at a time, she could do that. Not get ahead of herself either, the same principle she applied to coursework. Make a schedule and follow it.
God.
Alma fought back the edge of hysteria and reached for her mobile. A doctor's appointment, that was first on the list. Maybe she was panicking over nothing, it could be a false alarm, these things weren't always accurate. Maybe it was nothing, maybe it would all blow away with a simple test.
Maybe.
She dialled.
Author's Notes - Alma is this anon's human name for fem!England. - I know this isn't the cute OP originally asked for (and I wasn't sure if they wanted canon or not, but it made more sense to go with a human AU) but I plan plenty of cute moments in the future, this fic could be a pretty long one. - On that note, I'm currently undecided on the long term pairing for this fic. Alma could end up with Alfred or Matthew, or someone different altogether or no one at all! This is one of the reasons I started it the way I did. Thoughts and preferences anons? - Finally, I hope you all enjoy this. It's been a while since I wrote a multi-chaptered fic and I hope to have fun with this and update it as often as I can ^^

I'm glad you like! I tried to give options to the pairings you originally stated, though I'm afraid I can't write Russia well, so I put her as a side-character instead.
Canada/UK is vastly underappreciated, one of the things that caught my interest with this prompt. And indeed, silly idiotic boys. This shall be a lesson in maturity for all of the characters involved.

And Matt/Alma would be awesome (personally love USUK, but UKCan doesn't get enough love, and Matt looks like he'd be adorable in this).

And yes, I don't mind an AU it's beautiful.
Still rooting for Canada/UK, oddly enough, even if US/UK is my OTP.
And oh, oh, Alfred, you idiot. And Mattie! Oh God they're both idiots.
