Zechs Merquise paced back and forth accross the hospital hallway.
Back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth.
"Milliardo Peacecraft, will you stop that?!" His sister's annoyed voice snapped him out of his trance.
Zechs gave a low growl. Why was it taking so long?!
"Whoa, careful, Relena!" Duo said, backing away from the agitated soon-to-be father. "He might suddenly decide to wage all-out war again and drop an asteroid on ya. Better watch out." He laughed at his own antics.
Zechs growled again. "The only one who should be watching out is you, Maxwell."
Relena reached for his arm. "Brother..."
"Aaaarggh!! Zechs Merquise, I'm gonna kill you!!" Her voice rang out through the entire maternity ward.
"Noin!" Zechs pulled away from Relena's restrain. Quatre, standing beside her, caught him just in time. "Zechs, it's okay."
"Aaaaaarrgghh!! Zechs!! You little...!!"
Duo smirked. "So it's finally started..."
"I'm gonna kill you!!!" Noin screamed from inside the delivery room, beside them. "Aaaaarghh!! I hate you!! Zechs!!"
Zechs's face paled. He began pacing, this time faster. "This is normal, right?"
Duo laughed. "Hey, man, it's all right. You're lucky you're not in there... Hilde left my hand all bruised for like a week."
"Zechs!! You did this to me!! Aaaargghh!! I hate you!!"
"It should be over soon, Zechs. Don't worry." Quatre reassured him.
A nurse passed by. She took in the frantic Zechs. "First time, right?"
"Yup." Duo answered for him.
The nurse gave a small laugh and continued on her way.
Then, a baby's cry. No more screams.
Zechs gasped and froze. Relena couldn't help smiling, seeing the light shining in her brother's eyes. She hugged him and said, "Congratulations, brother."
Duo slapped him in the back. "Zechs, man, you're a father!"
"Congratulations, Zechs." Quatre said.
"I..."
The delivery room's door opened. A doctor poked her head out. "Mr. Peacecraft?" She motioned for him to come in.
Zechs stepped inside and the doctor closed the door behind him.
He dashed to his wife's side. Noin looked up at him. She was glowing, holding their newborn baby in her arms.
"Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Peacecraft," the doctor announced, clasping her gloved hands. "You have a healthy baby girl."
Zechs kneeled down to Noin's level and kissed her forehead. "Lu, I love you... Thank you so much..."
"Come on now, don't be getting all mushy on me all of a sudden!" Noin shook her head and grinned. "I love you too, Zechs..."
The little baby in her arms yawned, waking up from her short nap. "You wanna hold her?" Noin asked, all smiles.
Zechs picked her up, oh-so-slowly. He cribbed her tiny head in his arms. "She's beautiful..." he whispered. "Like her mother."
The bundle's little blue eyes gazed up at him, appearing to challenge him. "She has your eyes, Lucrezia."
Noin's eyebrow shot up. "But just watch her get her father's stubbornness."
The tiny baby yawned again. Zechs beamed down at her, never taking his eyes off of hers. She would have the best life they could possibly give her, Zechs would make sure of that. She wouldn't go through what he did, she wouldn't have to do what he'd had to do. Zechs would make sure of that. This bright new life's future was in their hands.
"Zechs?" Noin said softly, masking worry.
Zechs looked up at her smiled. "What will we name her?"
She lay in silence for a minute. Then, "Mia."
"Mia," Zechs agreed. "Mia Peacecraft."
