Hi ya'll....it is I..once again...I know...Well..this is just a lil fic I had in mind... I do NOT own n-e- of the character except Rebekah!!!
This is placed roughly 5 years after the TV series..I have never seen Endless Waltz , but it's gonna be on Toonami in December (I think)!! So give me time...So this is like Endless Waltz never happened!! (Duh)
*____*'s means it's someone's thoughts (I still don't know how to make stuff bold, underlined or italized...Hulp me someone!)
~~ Tells how much time has past
(~) means author's note
It was a semi-normal day on Earth. Peace was reining with Relena leading it. The Gundam pilots have all 'settled' down. Trowa returned to the circus with his sister Catherine, Wufei and Sally dissapeared somewhere in China, Quatre met, fell in love, and married a shy, young woman he had met at his office. Heero was Relena's bodyguard, he hadn't left her side since 4 years ago during a kidnapping. (~ Hmm...do I smell a story here???~) Duo settled down on L-2 with Hilde. They built a scrape and salavge shop, which was very successful. In fact, things were going so good that the two decided to go visit Heero and Relena.........and then it happened..............
~~Three Days After Arriving On Earth
:Somewhere in a hotel room in the Sanc Kingdom
(~ Why do I get the feeling Heero refused to allow Duo to stay w/ them.......hmmm....~)
"AND TO TOP IT OFF, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID?!?!?!!" Hilde screamed as she put on her black leather jacket.
"WHAT?!?!" Duo cried, throwing his hands up in the air, "WHAT HAVE I DONE NOW?!"
"YOU GOT ME PREGNANT!" Hilde screamed, snatching the nearest object to her, which happened to be a pillow off the couch. She threw it at him as hard as she could.
"IT'S MY FAULT?!" Duo cried, catching the pillow that had been aimed for his face.
"YES! IT'S ALL YOURS!"
"At least I can say I'm proud of the one thing I did wrong!" He exclaimed, stepping close to her. "Your gonna have a baby?"
Hilde went on as if she hadn't heard him, "If I have it MY way, you ain't gonna see your mistake!"
"You mean you're gonna kill it?!" He shrieked, grabbing her arm. Hilde gave him a shocked look and before she could stop herself she felt her free hand connect with his face. "WOULD I DO THAT?!? No!! You just won't live with it or see it!!"
Duo winced, "Depending on the mood..."
"I can't believe you said that..." She glared at him, "I'm outta here...it's over...no, it's BEEN over.." She yanked her arm from him.
Duo pouted, "I'll be waiting."
"For what? My death?" she snapped, resisting the urge to smack him once again.
"No..." he said softly as he walked back to their room. "For you to come back." He whispered under his breath.
"I'm not coming back." She said softly, following him. "I'm leaving..." She grabbed her purse, "Bye Duo..." She shook her head sadly, "I'm sorry.." she whispered than walked out the door.
"Bye.." he whispered, slowing sitting down on the bed. "Oh Hil.." he whispered, resting his head in his hands. "Why did you leave...especially now..." He swallowed hard, "My baby....I'm gonna be a Dad...and you just walked out on me..Oh Hil.."
Hilde tried her best not to cry as she walked down the street to the nearest bus terminal. She looked overhead when she heard the distant roll of thunder, the sky had darkened and large, black rain clouds had rolled over. Hilde shivered as a cold winter wind blew across the bleak street. This was her first time visiting Earth for a long time. She gave a heartbroken sigh, Duo had brought her here to see Relena and Heero.
"Hilde!" Hearing her name, she turned on instinct. Her heart leaped as she saw Duo running towards her. She jumped with surprise as the bus stopped in front of her, the doors opening with a warm "swoosh" of warm air and perfume.
"Yer gettin' on lady?" The old bus driver asked kindly, "Or are yer waitin' for yer man?"
Hilde pressed her hand to her stomach, "He isn't 'my man'." she said crisply. She glanced at Duo, who was now less than two feet from her. "I don't believe that he is getting on the bus, but I am." She grasped the rail with her left hand, "Do you go past the nearest space terminal?"
"Hil..don't." Duo cried, grabbing her other arm. "Listen to me babe..we can make it work..I promise. Give 'us' another chance..."
"Well lady," the driver said kindly, "I'd stay if I were you.."
Hilde shook her head, "I told you Duo..I'm leaving...I can't stand it."
"You've got my kid!" Duo cried, "Doesn't that mean a thing to you?"
Hilde looked at him with cold eyes, "It does. It's another reason for me to leave. Goodbye Duo Maxwell." She glared at him until he released her arm. She walked up the steps, "How much?" she asked the bus driver, reaching into her purse.
"This one's on me." He said softly, benevolently. She gave him a weak smile, "Thank you."
Suddenly, there was a flash of light and the sky broke open, drenching Duo.
"Hil..baby...please." he begged as the doors began to close. Hilde shook her head with determination and walked down the aisle. When she was seated, the bus lurched forward, leaving Duo behind, standing in the rain.
~~ A Day Later
"Becky?" Hilde whimpered as the door to the Winner estate opened. Rebekah gasped when she saw her friend, standing at the doorway, soaking wet. "Hilde...." she engulfed her friend in a warm hug. She quickly pulled her into the spacious house. "Joe, get me some towels and a blanket on the double!" Rebekah ordered to a passing servant.
"Yes Miss Rebekah." he said as he quickly rushed off to carry our his orders.
"Why are you here?" Rebekah asked softly, "What's wrong? Another fight with Duo?"
"Yeah.." Hilde sniffled. "I'm not going back." she said, determination in her voice. Rebekah nodded, *That's what you say everytime..* she thought with a smile. *But somehow you two always find your way back to each other..*
"Here miss." Joe said, handing Hilde a hot, fluffy baby-blue towel. "Miss Rebekah.." Joe handed her the other warm towel and the blanket. He gave a curt bow then dissapeared.
"Come on..let's go to the libary," Rebekah suggested, "It's the warmest spot in this ol' house.." Hilde nodded her agreement as she slid off her wet jacket and wrapped the towel around her shoulders.
As the two friends made their way to the libary, Hilde was oddly silent as they climbed the stairs. Rebekah looked at her friend, her curiosity aroused. *Usually,* she thought, *I've heard about every wrong thing that Duo's done and ever will do. I hear about their fight and what they were fighting over...but this time she's so quiet.* A thought struck panic into her heart, *What if she's serious? What if it's over for good??*
Rebekah couldn't remember a time in the past 5 years that Hilde and Duo had "split up" for more than a week. She smiled to herself, *And that was when they kept missing each other...*
Hilde sighed and wrapped the blanket around her tightly. They had been in the libary for a good 15-20 minutes. Each making simple little talk, skirting around the real reason she was here.
"--And then Quatre said---"
"Beck." Hilde said, cutting her friend off. "Let's stop playing. You want to know why I am here, correct?"
Rebekah nodded.
"Duo and I got into a fight.." Hilde began, underneath the blanket she nervously played with her
'promise' ring. *Duo never was good with commitments..* She thought sadly before adding, "And I left.."
"I know." Rebekah said softly, "But why?"
Hilde shrugged, "It was some stupid little reason, as usual.." She looked at her friend, her eyes wide and scared. "Becky..I'm pregnant."
This is placed roughly 5 years after the TV series..I have never seen Endless Waltz , but it's gonna be on Toonami in December (I think)!! So give me time...So this is like Endless Waltz never happened!! (Duh)
