A little something that has been bouncing around in my head for some time! Rated mature for language and some adult scenes.
I do not own the GW universe or characters, I just borrow them ocassionally.
This chapter will be fast paced, but it will slow down in the next chapter.
"Shit!" The blonde swore, reading the device she held in her hand, for the tenth time at least. She was hoping this was all wrong, nay, she was praying.
But it wasn't.
"SHIT!" She swore again, pushing a golden strand behind her ear.
She caught her reflection in the large mirror and her brow furrowed. Her face appeared flushed and her eyes were rimmed dark, despite the heavy coating of makeup she had applied earlier in the morning. By looking at her one would think she was sick, maybe even fevered from the rosey mask across her cheeks.
A sudden wave of nausea washed over her and she huddled over the toilet, emptying her guts. She carefully spit and wiped her mouth clean before falling to the floor hugging her knees tightly. She glanced at the item still clutched tightly in her hand, blurred by warm tears flooding her vision. One word remained visible, yet blurred.
"Pregnant."
Hugging her knees and clutching the test to her tighter, she cried.
Relena Peacecraft was pregnant.
A sudden beeping noise alerted him to the cell him kept in the pocket of his jacket and he fished it out. Flipping over the phone he smiled at the message inside.
"Come see me." It read and his smile grew a little wider.
When she called, he would always answer.
Anything for her.
He held her as she cried on his shoulder, running his hand through her golden hair whispering to her. Something had upset her, something that had to do with him. He hated to hurt her, hated to see her tears, but to know that he was the reason she was so upset was tearing at his heart.
"Please Relena, please... just tell me what's wrong." He begged, kissing her tears away.
"I don't know if I can, you'll be so upset..." She turned away from him, fresh tears falling down her cheeks.
He turned her face towards him again and gave her a gentle kiss. "Please? I promise I won't be upset."
She pulled the test from her pocket and handed it to him, watching his expression.
His eyes widened as he realized what he was holding before scanning over the results. "Pregnant" displayed on the screen. Suddenly a grin broke across his face, much to her surprise.
"Is this..." He looked at her hopeful. "You...?"
She nodded and wiped a tear away, curiosity getting the better of her.
He grabbed her into a hug pulling her off of her feet.
"I'm a dad..." He whispered, tears falling in his eyes.
He set her down and kissed her passionately, smiling at the confused look on her face. "You aren't mad?" She asked gently, expecting him to freak out or even worse.
"Mad? This is the greatest day of my life!" He grabbed her hands in his, kissing each one before looking her in the face. "I love you." He hugged her close and saw her smile.
"I love you, too. I don't want anyone to know yet. Please, I still need time."
"Anything for you."
Heero scowled at her before shaking his head. "I don't understand how this could happen."
Relena chewed her lip nervously feeling very much like a berated child, but he was taking it calmer than she expected, that was for sure.
"Same way all babies happen Heero, with a little bit of fu-"
"Duo!" Quatre warned, eyes wide, turning the American pilot.
"Well he asked! I was just going to give him a little lesson on the finer points of life!" Duo crossed his arms and glared at the blonde. "Don't play innocent with me, Mr. Winner, you wanted to say it, too."
Quatre's blush deepened and he turned away. "You're making Ms. Relena uncomfortable."
Heero glared at them both before turning back to Relena. "Well? What do you have to say?"
Relena's mouth fell open before she rolled her eyes. "I am NOT a child!"
"Your behavior says otherwise."
"Lay off of her a bit, man." Duo glanced at Heero, leaning his chair back on two legs. "She's carrying a bambino, she needs support, not stress."
"Thank you Duo."
"Who is the father?" Trowa asked, pressing his finger tips together at his lips.
Relena's flushed darkened.
"Do we know him?" Wufei asked noting the sudden nervousness of the former Queen.
"Yes." Her eyes dropped to her hands as she started to fidget.
Heero scanned each pilot in the room, but so far no one seemed nervous, yet, no one was meeting his eyes either. "It's one of us, isn't it?" He asked, turning toward her, but Relena continued to watch her hands, picking at her nail polish.
He knew she was too stubborn to answer him and he sighed in defeat, running a hand threw his hair. "How far are you?"
Relena's blushed deepened a bit. "14 weeks." She stated, looking him in the face stubbornly.
"Is he going to support you?"
"He..." She smiled a bit before nodding. "He was very happy about it, he has been with me to every appointment." Her voice was gentle and she smiled at Heero. "I was so scared at first, but it's such good news Heero! It's wonderful, really!" Atleast, she was pretty sure he was going to stand behind her, so far he wanted it to be a secret while he enjoyed it.
His eyes softened a bit and he smiled briefly back at her. "If it makes you happy Relena, we are behind you."
"Agreed." Duo smiled, giving her a wink.
Quatre rolled his eyes at Duo trying to hide his amusement.
"I'm also with you, Ms. Relena."
Trowa simply nodded, before a small smile found it's way to his lips.
From his spot Wufei sat with his arms crossed watching them all, everyone awaiting his reply. Much to her astonishment, Wufei smiled. "Congratulations."
Relena sighed in relief as everyone voiced their support, grateful to have her friends behind her, she took a quick glance to the pilot she knew was the father and caught him smiling at her stomach, the smile highlighting his eyes. He was good at hiding it, but she knew it would be obvious soon.
"I can't believe Relena is pregnant!" Duo said, eyes wide as he stuffed a cupcake his in mouth. "And it sure was nice of her to let us stay here."
"Duo, please chew with your mouth closed." Wufei rolled his eyes.
Quatre smiled at the American. "It was only a matter of time, Duo. Relena has been seeing someone for months."
Heero's gaze fell on the the blonde pilot. "So, you knew?"
Quatre simply smiled and put a hand over his heart.
"You can't hide anything from the Quat, that's for damn sure!" Duo smirked leaning over to give the blonde a noogie. Quatre swatted at the offending hands and scooted his chair further away.
"I can't wait to see who it looks like! Beautiful mommy or the beast that spawned the demon growing in her!" Duo busted up into laughter at his own joke, tilting his chair back on two legs.
"Duo! What a horrible thing to say about an innocent child!" Quatre's shocked face turn towards him. "And put your chair on all fours before you fall over!"
Duo rolled his eyes at Quatre and complied. "Yes, mother."
Somehow, Heero could only silently agree with Duo. Who would the child look like? He watched the other two pilots bicker back and forth and sighed. Neither of them showed an interest in dating, let alone women, but he was positive that Quatre was more gentlemen-ly than that. As for Duo he'd always looked down on Relena and her ideals during the war. No, it wasn't those two. Which left Wufei and Trowa, yet he simply couldn't see either of them fathering a child either. It would almost be unthinkable for Wufei and as for Trowa... he'd seen the way he'd looked at the the Arabic pilot. Really Quatre was the only one that could be possible. His eyes roamed over the braided pilot and he felt his heart speed up in his chest. He hoped it wasn't the American, it just wasn't plausible. He tried to ignore the voice in his head that was telling him the real reason he hoped it wasn't Duo.
For once, Heero was stumped.
R&R, maybe take a little stab at the father?
This story won't focus much after the baby, I hate OCs and such, but the idea was too good to pass by! It's actually a bit of a sad story.
